2. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST
IN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL. Grantor hereby grants to
the Agent, as collateral agent for the Lenders, a continuing and perfected first
priority security interest (as set forth in the Security Agreement) in all of
Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of Grantor’s Patents,

“Intellectual Property

(b) all products and proceeds of the

parties for past, present or future infringement of any
Patent.
3. SECURITY
AGREEMENT. The security interests granted pursuant to this
Agreement are granted in conjunction with the security interests granted to
Lenders pursuant to the Security Agreement. Grantor hereby
acknowledges and affirms that the rights and remedies of Lenders with respect to
the security interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral made and granted
hereby are more fully set forth in the Security Agreement, the terms and
provisions of which are incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth
herein.
4. AUTHORIZATION TO
SUPPLEMENT. If Grantor shall obtain rights to any new
Intellectual Property (as defined in the Security Agreement), the provisions of
this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto. Grantor shall give
Lenders prompt written notice with respect to any such new Intellectual
Property. Grantor represents that Schedule I is
substantially accurate and complete but reserves the right from time to time to
correct inaccuracies and/or omissions by giving Lenders written notice
thereof. Without limiting Grantor’s obligations under this Section 4, Grantor
hereby authorizes the Agent and Lenders unilaterally to modify this Agreement by
amending Schedule
I to include any such corrections and other modifications and any such
new Intellectual Property of Grantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no failure to so modify this Agreement or amend Schedule I shall in
any way affect, invalidate or detract from Lenders’ continuing security interest
in all Intellectual Property Collateral, whether or not listed on Schedule
I.
5. COUNTERPARTS. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed to be an original, but all such separate counterparts shall together
constitute but one and the same instrument. In proving this Agreement
in any judicial proceedings, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for
more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforcement is
sought. Any signatures delivered by a party by facsimile transmission
or by e-mail transmission shall be deemed an original signature
hereto.

6. GOVERNING LAW;
JURISDICTION. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed under the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts made
and to be performed entirely within the State of California. Each
party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts sitting in San Diego County, California for the adjudication of
any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction
contemplated hereby and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in
any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to
the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is
brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or
proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal
service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action
or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect
for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall
constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way
any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
7. SUCCESSORS AND
ASSIGNS. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and
permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express
or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto
or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies,
obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as
expressly provided in this Agreement. A Lender may assign its rights
hereunder in connection with any private sale or transfer of its Note, in which
case the term “Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such transferee as though
such transferee were an original signatory hereto. Grantor may not
assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement.
