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.
2. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST IN TRADEMARK COLLATERAL. Each Grantor hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Provider, a continuing first priority security interest in all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the following, whether presently existing or hereafter created or acquired (collectively, the “Trademark Collateral”):
(a) all of its Trademarks and Trademark Intellectual Property Licenses to which it is a party including those referred to on Schedule I hereto;
