SECTION 3 Subordination.
(a) The lien of the Secured Party in the Intellectual Property
Collateral pursuant hereto, shall be subordinate to all liens or security
interests now or hereafter granted to a holder of Senior Indebtedness by the
Company notwithstanding the date, order or method of attachment or perfection of
any such lien or security interest or the provisions of any applicable law.
Provided, that, the priority of the holder of the Senior Indebtedness provided
for herein with respect to liens are applicable only to the extent that such
holder's liens are enforceable and perfected and have not been avoided. If the
security interest of any holder of Senior Indebtedness is judicially determined
to be unenforceable or unperfected or is judicially avoided with respect to any
claim of the holder of the Senior Indebtedness or any part thereof, the priority
provided for herein shall not be available to such lien to the extent that it is
avoided or determined to be unenforceable or unperfected. The foregoing
notwithstanding, the Secured Party covenants and agrees that it shall not
challenge, attack or seek to avoid any lien to the extent that it secures Senior
Indebtedness.
(b) The Secured Party agrees upon the request, of the Grantor that it
will execute such customary forms of subordination agreements as may reasonably
be required by the holders of Senior Indebtedness to evidence the subordination
provided for herein.
( c) For the purposes of this Agreement, "Senior Indebtedness" shall
mean, unless expressly subordinated to or made on a parity with the Obligations,
the principal of, interest on, and reimbursable fees, costs and expenses arising
in connection with indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company, arising after
the date of this Agreement, to banks and other customary commercial lending
institutions regularly engaged in the business of lending money (including
equipment lease financing).
SECTION 4 Further Assurances; Appointment of Secured Party as
Attorney-in-Fact.
(a) Grantor shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and
delivered, to Secured Party any and all documents and instruments, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party, and take any and all action,
that Secured Party may reasonably request from time to time, to perfect and
continue perfection, maintain the priority of or provide notice of Secured
Party's security interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral and to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, at the expense of Secured Party.
(b) Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints Secured Party (and any of
Secured Party's officers or employees or agents designated by Secured Party) as
Grantor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, in the
name of Grantor, Secured Party or otherwise, and without notice to or assent by
Grantor to: (i) sign any financing statements and documents and instruments that
Secured Party deems necessary or reasonably advisable to perfect or continue
perfected, maintain the priority of or provide notice of Secured Party's
security interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral; and (ii) at any time
during the continuation of an Event of Default, execute any and all such other
documents and instruments, and do any and all acts and things for and on behalf
of Grantor, that Secured Party may deem necessary or reasonably advisable to
maintain, protect, realize upon and preserve the Intellectual Property
Collateral and Secured Party's security interest therein and to accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement, including (A) to defend, settle, adjust or institute
any action, suit or proceeding with respect to the Intellectual Property
Collateral, and (B) to assert or retain any rights under any license agreement
for any of the Intellectual Property Collateral, including without limitation,
any rights of Grantor arising under Section 365(n) of the United States
Bankruptcy Code. The power of attorney set forth in this Section 3, being
coupled with an interest, is irrevocable.
SECTION 5 Future Rights. If and when Grantor shall obtain rights to any
new Intellectual Property Rights, or obtain rights or benefits with respect to
any reissue, division, continuation, renewal, extension or continuation-in-part
of any Intellectual Property Rights, or any improvement of any Intellectual
Property Rights, which Intellectual Property Rights if existing at the date
hereof would be within the scope of Section 2, the provisions of Section 2 shall
automatically apply thereto. Grantor will upon the request of Secured Party
provide the Secured Party with such information regarding any such future
obtained rights as Secured Party shall request in order to ensure the priority
or perfection of the Secured Party's security interests in such Intellectual
Property Rights. Grantor hereby authorizes Secured Party to modify, amend, or
supplement the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and to reexecute this Agreement
from time to time on Grantor's behalf and as its attorney-in-fact to include any
such future Intellectual Property Collateral and to cause such reexecuted
Agreement or such modified, amended or supplemented Exhibits or Schedules to be

or foreign) as appropriate.
SECTION 6 Secured Party's Duties. Notwithstanding any provision
