(c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal;

(d) any defense based upon any errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations by any agent, Lender and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, except behavior which amounts to bad faith;

4.5 Authority of Guarantors or Borrower. It is not necessary for Lender and its respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns to inquire into the capacity or powers of

any Guarantor or Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

4.6 Bankruptcy.

(a) The guarantee contained in this Article 3 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from Lender or its respective successors, indorsees, transferees, and assignees as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, or must otherwise be restored or returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

(b) So long as any Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Lender, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

4.7 Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations, and any such indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust and shall forthwith be paid over for the benefit of Lender and its respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns to be credited and applied against the Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

4.8 Subrogation. Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to Lender in respect of any of the Obligations until payment in full of all Obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and Lender, on the other hand, (a) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 9 hereof for the purposes of the Subsidiary Guarantees, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of the Subsidiary Guarantees.

4.9 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of the Note, Lender, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any law or statute relating to bankruptcy, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, Lender and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount that shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 3, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

4.10 Additional Subsidiary Guarantees. In the event that Borrower creates or acquires any Subsidiary after the date of this Agreement, then that newly acquired or created Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor, and execute a counterpart signature page to this Agreement to secure the Subsidiary Guarantee. Such newly acquired or created Subsidiary shall also execute all security agreements (including an Intellectual Property Security Agreement) reasonably requested by Lender to secure its interest in the Collateral, and such documents and filings as reasonably requested by Lender to evidence the perfection and first priority of the security interests in the Collateral subject to Permitted Liens. Borrower shall cause such Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.10 and this Article 4, to the extent applicable.

5. Creation Of Security Interest

5.1 Creation of Security Interest. This Agreement constitutes a “security agreement” within the meaning of the UCC. In order to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, each Grantor hereby grants, assigns, transfers, pledges, and sets over to Lender, subject to the Permitted Liens, a first-priority security interest in and Lien on all of that Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral, in each case whether now owned or hereafter at any time acquired by the Grantor and wherever located.

5.2 Perfection of Security Interests.

(a) Filing of Financing Statements. Without limiting any rights of Lender under the UCC, each Grantor hereby authorizes Lender to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, including one or more financing statements indicating that such financing statements cover all assets or all personal property (or words of similar effect) of such Grantor, in each case without the signature of such Grantor, and regardless of whether any particular asset described in such financing statements falls within the scope of the UCC or the granting clause of this Agreement.

(b) PTO Filings. On a continuing basis, each Grantor shall make, execute, acknowledge and deliver, and file and record in the proper filing and recording places, all such instruments and documents, including any documents for filing with the PTO, the

Copyright Office or any applicable state office as Lender may reasonably request. Lender may record this Agreement, an abstract thereof, or any other document describing Lender’s interest in the Collateral with the PTO or the Copyright Office at the expense of Lender.

5.3 Duration of Security Interest. Each Grantor agrees that this Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral which shall remain in effect until the payment in full and the satisfaction of all Obligations, whereupon such security interest shall terminate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the security interest created by this Agreement (including all representations, warranties and covenants contained herein) shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any amount received by Lender in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Lender or its respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assignees as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, or must be restored or redeemed by Lender upon or as a result of, the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for any Grantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. Upon termination of the security interest, Lender shall, at the Grantors’ sole cost and expense, execute such further documents and take such further actions as may be necessary to effect the release contemplated by this Section 5.3, including duly executing and delivering termination statements for filing in all relevant jurisdictions under the UCC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the factoring of any of the Grantor’s accounts and receivables in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices, Lender’s security interest in such accounts and receivables will be automatically released and of no further force and effect.

5.4 Possession of Collateral. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Grantor shall remain in full possession, enjoyment and control of its Collateral (except only as may be otherwise required by Lender for perfection of its security interest therein) and shall be entitled to manage, operate and use the same and each part thereof with the rights and franchises appertaining thereto; provided, however, that the possession, enjoyment, control and use of the Collateral shall at all times be subject to the observance and performance of the terms of this Agreement.

5.5 Delivery of Additional Documentation Required. Each Grantor shall from time to time execute and deliver to Lender, all documents Lender may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Lender, to perfect and continue Lender’s first priority, perfected security interests in the Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens) and in order to consummate fully all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents.

5.6 Right to Inspect. Lender (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time during any Grantor’s usual business hours, to inspect such Grantor’s Books and to make copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in order to verify such Grantor’s financial condition or the amount, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral.

5.7 Authorization to Supplement. If any Grantor shall obtain rights to any new Intellectual Property, including any patentable inventions or become entitled to the benefit of any patent application or patent for any reissue, division, or continuation, of any patent, the

provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto. Such Grantor(s) shall give prompt notice in writing to Lender with respect to any such new Intellectual Property rights. Without limiting the Grantors’ obligations under this Section 5.7, each Grantor authorizes Lender unilaterally to modify this Agreement by amending Schedule 6.8 to include any such new patent rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure to so modify this Agreement or amend Schedule 6.8 shall in any way affect, invalidate or detract from Lender’s continuing security interest in all Collateral, whether or not listed on Schedule 6.8.

6. Representations And Warranties

Each Grantor, jointly and severally, represents and warrants as follows:

6.1 Due Organization and Qualification. Each Grantor (a) is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and (b) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in all other jurisdictions in which the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties makes such authorization or qualification necessary except for such jurisdictions where the failure to be so authorized or qualified could not materially adversely effect such Grantor’s ability to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement and the Loan.

6.2 Authority. Each Grantor has all necessary power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform in accordance with the terms thereof, the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

Each of the Loan Documents has been duly executed and delivered by such Grantor. Each of the Loan Documents constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Grantor enforceable against such Grantor in accordance with its respective terms.

6.6 No Prior Encumbrances. Each Grantor has good and indefeasible title to the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property held by it, free and clear of all Liens except for the first priority lien held by the Lender and Permitted Liens of the type described in clauses (a), (b), (d) and (e) of the definition of Permitted Liens contained herein. Each Grantor has good and indefeasible title to all other Collateral held by it, free and clear of all Liens except for the first priority lien held by the Lender and Permitted Liens.

6.7 Name; Location of Chief Executive Office, Principal Place of Business and Collateral. No Grantor has done business under any name other than that specified on the signature page hereof.

All of the tangible Collateral, including the books and records related thereto, is presently located at the addresses set forth on Schedule 6.7.

6.8 Intellectual Property. A true, correct and complete list of all of the existing Collateral consisting of patents and patent applications or registrations, registered trademarks and registered copyrights owned by each Grantor, in whole or in part, is set forth in Schedule 6.8.

6.9 Litigation. To Grantors’ knowledge, there are no actions or proceedings pending by or against Borrower before any court or administrative agency in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect on the Grantors, taken as a whole, or the aggregate value of the Collateral. No Grantor has knowledge of any such threatened actions or proceedings. Borrower will promptly notify Lender in writing if any action, proceeding or governmental investigation involving a Grantor is commenced that may result in damages or costs to the Grantors, taken as a whole, of $50,000 or more in the aggregate.

6.10 Liabilities. Other than with respect to the Loan, Grantors do not have any Indebtedness except as described on Schedule 6.10.

6.11 Financial Statements. The Borrower Financial Statements present fairly in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition as of the dates thereof and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations at the dates and during the periods indicated therein in accordance with GAAP (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, recurring year-end adjustments).

There are no audits, assessments or claim for assessments, and no basis upon which such a claim can be made to the best knowledge of Borrower after reasonable review and due inquiry. The charges, accrual and reserves on Borrower’s books and records in respect of Taxes are adequate. Borrower has not given or been requested to give a waiver of the statute of limitations relating to the payment of federal or other Taxes or the audit of any Tax period.

10.4 Effect of Sale. Any sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of Grantors in and to the Property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against Grantors, their successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming the Property sold or any part thereof under, by or through Grantors, their successors or assigns.

10.5 Power of Attorney in Respect of the Collateral. Each Grantor does hereby irrevocably appoint Lender (which appointment is coupled with an interest) on the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the true and lawful attorney in fact of such Grantor with full power of substitution, for it and in its name: (a) to ask, demand, collect, receive, receipt for,

xxx for, compound and give acquittance for any and all rents, issues, profits, avails, distributions, income, payment draws and other sums in which a security interest is granted under Section 5 with full power to settle, adjust or compromise any claim thereunder as fully as if Lender were a “Grantor” itself, (b) to receive payment of and to endorse the name of a Grantor to any items of Collateral (including checks, drafts and other orders for the payment of money) that come into Lender’s possession or under Lender’s control, (c) to make all demands, consents and waivers, or take any other action with respect to, the Collateral, (d) in Lender’s discretion to file any claim or take any other action or proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, which Lender may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect and preserve the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Collateral, or (e) to otherwise act with respect thereto as though Lender were the outright owner of the Collateral.

10.6 Remedies Cumulative Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the UCC, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Lender of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Lender of any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.

10.7 Application of Collateral Proceeds. The Proceeds of the Collateral, or any part thereof, and the proceeds and the avails of any remedy hereunder (as well as any other amounts of any kind held by Lender at the time of or received by Lender after, the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder) shall be paid to and applied as follows:

(a) First, to the payment of any Lender’s Expenses;

(b) Second, to the payment to Lender of the amount then owing or unpaid on the Loans and all other Obligations with respect to each Loan, and if such proceeds shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due, owing or unpaid upon the Loans, then to the unpaid interest thereon, then to the unpaid principal amount of the Loans, and then to the payment of other amounts then payable to Lender under any of the Loan Documents; and

(c) Third, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to the applicable Grantor, its successors and assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

10.8 Reinstatement of Rights. If Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely, then and in every such case (unless otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction), Lender shall be restored to its former position and rights hereunder with respect to the Property subject to the security interest created under this Agreement.

10.9 Lender’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Lender complies with its obligations, if any, under Section 9207 of the UCC, Lender shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or

other Person whomsoever. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Grantors.

10.10 Demand; Protest. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Lender on which Borrower may in any way be liable.

11. Notices

12.3 Severability of Provisions. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall, to the extent possible, be modified in such manner as to be valid, legal and enforceable but so as to most nearly retain the intent of the

parties, and if such modification is not possible, such provision shall be severed from this Agreement, and in either case the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the future application of such provision shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

12.4 Entire Agreement; Construction; Amendments and Waivers.

(a) This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents dated as of the date hereof, taken together, constitute and contain the entire agreement between the Grantors and Lender and supersede any and all prior agreements, negotiations, correspondence, understandings and communications between the parties, whether written or oral, respecting the subject matter hereof.

(b) This Agreement is the result of negotiations between and has been reviewed by the Grantors and Lender executing this Agreement as of the date hereof and their respective counsel; accordingly, this Agreement shall be deemed to be the product of the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against Grantors or Lender.

No notice to or demand on any Grantor in any case shall any Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No delay or omission of Lender to exercise any right, whether before or after a default hereunder, shall impair any such right or shall be construed to be a waiver of any right or default, and the acceptance at any time by Lender of any past-due amount shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require prompt payment when due of any other amounts then or thereafter due and payable.

(d) Any amendment, modification, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 12.4 shall be binding upon Lender and on the Grantors.

12.5 Reliance by Lender. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein by the Grantors, notwithstanding any investigation by Lender, be deemed to be material to and to have been relied upon by Lender.

12.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be-an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

12.9 Relationship of Parties. The Grantors and Lender acknowledge, understand and agree that the relationship between the Grantors and Lender is and at all time shall remain solely that of a borrower and lender or a guarantor and lender, as the case may be. Lender shall not under any circumstances be construed to be a partner or joint venturer of any Grantor or any of its Affiliates; nor shall Lender under any circumstances be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with any Grantor or any of its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to any Grantor or any of its Affiliates.

Lender is willing to make the Loan to Borrower, but only upon the condition, among others, that Borrower shall grant to Lender a security interest in all of its copyrights, trademarks and patents to secure the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Agreement.

B. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Borrower has granted to Lender a security interest in all of Borrower’s right, title and interest, whether presently existing or hereafter acquired, in, to and under all of the Collateral, including, without limitation, all of its copyrights, trademarks and patents.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment when due of its obligations under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows:

AGREEMENT

To secure its obligations under the Loan Documents and under all other agreements now existing or hereafter arising between Borrower and Lender, Borrower assigns to Lender for security purposes, and grants and pledges to Lender, a security interest in all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under its Intellectual Property Collateral (including, without limitation, those copyrights, patents and trademarks listed on Schedules A, B and C hereto), together with the goodwill of the businesses associated with the trademarks, and including, without limitation, all proceeds thereof (such as, by way of example but not by way of limitation, license royalties and proceeds of infringement suits), the right to xxx for past, present and future infringements, all rights corresponding thereto throughout the world and all re-issues, re-examinations, divisions continuations, renewals, termination rights, extensions and continuations-in-part thereof.

This security interest is granted in conjunction with the security interest granted to Lender under the Loan Agreement. The rights and remedies of Lender with respect to the security interest granted hereby are in addition to those set forth in the Loan Agreement and the

Borrower represents and warrants that Schedules A, B, and C attached hereto set forth any and all intellectual property rights in connection to which Borrower has registered or filed an application with either the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT GOVERNED BY FEDERAL LAW, IN WHICH CASE FEDERAL LAW SHALL APPLY.
