1. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST.
To secure the complete and timely payment and performance of all Obligations (as defined in the Amended and Restated Security Agreement, dated as of September 5, 2007, between the Grantor and the Lender concerning certain assets outside the United States, Canada, and Mexico (the “Security Agreement”)), and without limiting any other security interest Grantor has granted to Lender, Grantor hereby grants, assigns, and conveys to Lender a security interest in Grantor’s entire right, title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the following (the “Collateral”):
(i) All of Grantor’s right to the Ex-US BEMA Marks and trademark registrations related thereto, including but not limited to those listed on Exhibit A, as the same may be updated hereafter from time to time, but excluding the foregoing to the extent concerning Mexico or Canada, and all trademark rights with respect thereto throughout every country in the world other than the United States and its territories and possessions (including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico), Mexico, and Canada (the
“Ex-North American Territory”), including all proceeds thereof (including license royalties and proceeds of infringement suits), and rights to renew and extend such trademarks and trademark rights; and

(iii) the entire goodwill of or associated with the businesses now or hereafter conducted by Grantor connected with and symbolized by any of the aforementioned properties and assets;

(v) all accounts, all intangible intellectual or other similar property and other general intangibles associated with or arising out of any of the aforementioned properties and assets and not otherwise described above, including all license payments and payments under insurance (whether or not the Lender is the loss payee thereof) or any indemnity, warranty or guaranty payable by reason of loss or damage to or otherwise with respect to the foregoing Collateral; and
(vi) All products, proceeds and supporting obligations of or with respect to any and all of the foregoing Collateral.
(vii) Notwithstanding to the contrary in this Agreement or the Security Agreement, the Collateral shall exclude any and all of the foregoing to the extent concerning, or related to, the United States and its territories and possessions (including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico), Mexico, or Canada.
2. AFTER-ACQUIRED PATENT OR TRADEMARK RIGHTS.
If Grantor shall obtain rights to any new trademarks, any new patentable inventions or become entitled to the benefit of any patent application or patent for any reissue, division, or continuation, of any patent, in each case in the Ex-North American Territory and in connection with, derived from, or arising out of, the Ex-US BEMA Technology, the Ex-US BEMA Marks or the Ex-US Products in the Ex-North American Territory (and not any of the foregoing to the extent concerning or related to any country outside the Ex-North American Territory), the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto. Grantor shall give prompt notice in writing to Lender with respect to any such new trademarks or patents, or renewal or extension of any trademark registration. Without limiting Grantor’s obligation under this Section 2, Grantor authorizes Lender to modify this Agreement by amending Exhibits A or B to include any such new patent or trademark rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure to so modify
2
this Agreement or amend Exhibits A or B shall in any way affect, invalidate or detract from Lender’s continuing security interest in all Collateral, whether or not listed on Exhibit A or B.
3. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
3.1 Rights Under Security Agreement. This Agreement has been granted in conjunction with the security interest granted to Lender under the Security Agreement. The rights and remedies of Lender with respect to the security interests granted herein are without prejudice to, and are in addition to those set forth in the Security Agreement, all terms and provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference.
3.2 Successors. The benefits and burdens of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties; provided that Grantor may not transfer any of the Collateral or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of Lender, except as specifically permitted by the Note or the Security Agreement.
3.3 Amendment; No Conflict. This Agreement is subject to modification only by a writing signed by the parties, except as provided in Section 2 of this Agreement. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement conflicts with any provision of the Security Agreement, the provision giving Lender greater rights or remedies shall govern, it being understood that the purpose of this Agreement is to add to, and not detract from, the rights granted to Lender under the Security Agreement.
3.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (as permitted by Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law), without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of New York to the rights and duties of the parties, except as required by mandatory provisions of law and to the extent the validity or perfection of the security interests hereunder, or the remedies hereunder, in respect of any Collateral are governed by the law of a jurisdiction other than New York.
3.5 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE GRANTOR AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, THE LENDER, HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.
3. TERMINATION. Upon payment and performance in full of all Obligations (as defined in that certain Security Agreement between the parties of even date herewith), the security interest created under this Agreement shall terminate and Lender shall promptly execute and deliver to Grantor such documents and instruments reasonably requested by Grantor as shall be necessary to evidence termination of all security interests given by Grantor to Lender hereunder.
