WHEREAS, pursuant to the Security Agreement, Grantors are required to execute and deliver to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group, this Patent Security Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Grantor hereby agrees as follows:

1. DEFINED TERMS. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Security Agreement and/or the Credit Agreement.

(a) all of its Patents and rights in and to Patent Intellectual Property Licenses to which it is a party including those referred to on Schedule I hereto;

(b) all reissues, continuations, continuations-in-part, substitutes, extensions or renewals of, and improvements on, the foregoing; and

(c) all products and proceeds of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any claim by such Grantor against third parties for past, present or future infringement of any Patent.
