In no event shall the Debtor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application for the registration of any patent, trademark or copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency without giving the Secured Party prior written notice thereof, and, upon request of the Secured Party, the Debtor shall execute and deliver any and all security documents as the Secured Party may request to evidence the Secured Party’s Lien on such Intellectual Property and the general intangibles of the Debtor relating thereto or represented thereby. The Debtor hereby authorizes the Secured Party to amend this Agreement (without any further action or consent from the Debtor) to include any such patent, trademark or copyright as Collateral hereunder.

(w) Intellectual Property Abandonment. The Debtor shall take all actions reasonably necessary or requested by the Secured Party to maintain and pursue each application, to obtain the relevant registration and to maintain the registration of its Intellectual Property, including the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of noncontestability and opposition and interference and cancellation proceedings.

(x) Protection of Intellectual Property. In the event that any of the Debtor's Intellectual Property is infringed upon, or misappropriated or diluted by a third party, the Debtor shall notify the Secured Party promptly after the Debtor learns thereof. The Debtor shall, unless the Secured Party shall determine that such Intellectual Property is in no way material to the conduct of its business or operations, promptly xxx for, and seek recovery of any and all damages resulting from such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and shall take such other actions as the Secured Party shall deem necessary under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property.

(y) Chattel Paper. The Debtor shall type, print or stamp conspicuously on the face of all original copies of all Collateral consisting of Chattel Paper and Documents not in the possession of the Secured Party having a value in excess of $100,000 a legend satisfactory to the Secured Party indicating that such Chattel Paper is subject to the security interest granted hereby.

-12-

(z) Limitation on Filing of Financing Statements. The Debtor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement without the prior written consent of the Secured Party and agrees that it will not do so without the prior written consent of the Secured Party, subject to the Debtor’s rights under Section 9509(d)(2) of the UCC.

Event of Default; the Secured Party’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) Event of Default. For purposes of this Agreement, the occurrence of any one of the following events (each, an “Event of Default”) shall constitute a default hereunder and under the Notes or any of the other Credit Documents:

(i) The Debtor's failure to pay or discharge the Obligations in full in accordance with the terms of the Notes or any of the other Credit Documents;

(ii) A breach of any representation or warranty made by the Debtor under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Credit Documents as of the date thereof or any other document or instrument entered into between the Debtor and the Secured Party in connection herewith.

(iii) The Debtor's failure to observe or perform any other covenant, obligation, condition or agreement contained in this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Credit Documents and such failure shall continue for 10 days after the earlier of (i) the Debtor’s written acknowledgement of such failure and (ii) written notice by the Secured Party to the Debtor of such failure.

(iv) The insolvency of the Debtor, the commission of any act of bankruptcy by the Debtor, the execution by the Debtor of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, the filing by or against the Debtor of a petition in bankruptcy or any petition for relief under the federal bankruptcy act or the continuation of such petition without dismissal for a period of 90 days or more, or the appointment of a receiver or trustee to take possession of the property or assets of the Debtor.

(v) A default shall occur under the Notes or any of the other Credit Documents, or any other agreement entered into between the Debtor and the Secured Party in connection herewith.

(b) Powers. The Debtor hereby appoints the Secured Party and any officer or agent of the Secured Party, with full power of substitution, as its attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place of the Debtor and in the name of the Debtor or its own name, from time to time in the Secured Party’s discretion so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any appropriate action and to authenticate any instrument which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Secured Party shall have the right, without notice to, or the consent of, the Debtor, to do any of the following on the Debtor’s behalf:

-13-

(i) to pay or discharge any taxes or Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;

(ii) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all amounts due or to become due thereunder directly to the Secured Party or as the Secured Party directs;

(iii) to ask for or demand, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any payments due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral;

(iv) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any right in respect of any Collateral;

(v) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Debtor with respect to any Collateral;

(vi) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in subsection (v) above and to give such discharges or releases in connection therewith as the Secured Party may deem appropriate;

(vii) to assign any patent right included in the Collateral of the Debtor (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such patent right pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Secured Party shall in its sole discretion determine; and

(viii) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral and to take, at the Secured Party’s option and the Debtor’s expense, any actions which the Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Party’s Liens on the Collateral and to carry out the intent of this Agreement, in each case to the same extent as if the Secured Party were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes.

The Debtor hereby ratifies whatever actions the Secured Party shall lawfully do or cause to be done in accordance with this Section 5. This power of attorney shall be a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

(c) No Duty on the Secured Party’s Part. The powers conferred on the Secured Party by this Section 5 are solely to protect the Secured Party’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Secured Party nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall, in the absence of willful misconduct or gross negligence, be responsible to the Debtor for any act or failure to act pursuant to this Section 5.

6. Performance by the Secured Party of the Debtor’s Obligations. If the Debtor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements or covenants contained in this Agreement and the Secured Party performs or complies, or otherwise causes performance or compliance,

-14-

with such agreement or covenant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then the expenses of the Secured Party incurred in connection with such performance or compliance shall be payable by the Debtor to the Secured Party on demand and shall constitute Obligations secured by this Agreement.

7. Remedies. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Secured Party may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the foregoing, the Secured Party, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law) to or upon the Debtor or any other person (all of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any or all of the Collateral, and/or may sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver any or all of the Collateral (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as the Secured Party may deem advisable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Debtor, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. The Secured Party shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable expenses incurred therein or in connection with the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Party under this Agreement (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Secured Party may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Secured Party of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Secured Party account for the surplus, if any, to the Debtor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Debtor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Secured Party arising out of the exercise by the Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten days before such sale or other disposition. The Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

8. Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. The Secured Party’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and preservation of the Collateral, under Section 9207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Secured Party deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Secured Party nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Debtor or otherwise.

-15-

9. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and are powers coupled with an interest.

10. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. The Secured Party shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 12(a) hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default under the Notes or any of the other Credit Documents or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Secured Party of any right or remedy under this Agreement on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Secured Party would otherwise have on any subsequent occasion. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

11. Termination of Security Interest. Upon satisfaction of the Debtor’s obligations pursuant to the Notes, the security interest granted herein shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Debtor. Upon any such termination, the Secured Party shall authenticate and deliver to the Debtor such documents as the Debtor may reasonably request to evidence such termination.

12. Miscellaneous.

(a) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Debtor and of Secured Parties holding a majority in interest of the principal amount of Notes outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, no amendment or waiver that adversely affects a Secured Party in a manner different from all of the Secured Parties may be effected without the written consent of such Secured Party. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 12(a) shall be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Transfer; Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the Debtor and its successors and assigns, as well as all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Agreement and inure to the benefit of the Secured Party and its successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

(c) Governing Law. This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

-16-

(d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

(e) Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

(f) Notices. Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient upon receipt, when delivered personally or by courier, overnight delivery service or confirmed facsimile, or 48 hours after being deposited in the U.S. mail as certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, if such notice is addressed to the party to be notified at such party’s address or facsimile number as set forth below or as subsequently modified by written notice.

(h) Payments Free of Taxes, Etc. All payments made by the Debtor under this Agreement shall be made by the Debtor free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present and future taxes, levies, charges, deductions and withholdings. In addition, the Debtor shall pay upon demand any stamp or other taxes, levies or charges of any jurisdiction with respect to the execution, delivery, registration, performance and enforcement of this Agreement. Upon request by the Secured Party, the Debtor shall furnish evidence satisfactory to the Secured Party that all requisite authorizations and approvals by, and notices to and filings with, governmental authorities and regulatory bodies have been obtained and made and that all requisite taxes, levies and charges have been paid.

(i) Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith, in order to maintain the economic position enjoyed by each party as close as possible to that under the provision rendered unenforceable. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(j) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and any and all other written or oral agreements existing between the parties hereto concerning such subject matter are expressly canceled.

(k) Amendment and Restatement. Effective upon execution of this Agreement by Debtor, Optel LLC, and Optel Capital, the Fifth Amended and Restated Security Agreement by and among Debtor, Optel LLC, and Optel Capital dated as of December 10, 2003, is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth in this Agreement.
