any application or registration relating to any Patent, Trademark or Copyright (now
or hereafter existing) may become abandoned or dedicated, or of any adverse
determination or development (including the institution of, or any such
determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and
Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court) regarding
Grantor’s ownership of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the
same, or to keep and maintain the same.
(b) In no event shall Grantor, either directly 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 Lender
prior written notice thereof, and, upon request of Lender, Grantor shall execute and
deliver a supplement hereto (in form and substance satisfactory to Lender) to
evidence Lender’s lien on such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and the General
Intangibles of Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.
(c) Grantor shall take all actions necessary or requested by Lender to maintain
and pursue each application, to obtain the relevant registration and to maintain the

misappropriated or diluted by a third party, Grantor shall notify Lender promptly
after Grantor learns thereof. Grantor shall, unless it shall reasonably determine
that such Collateral is in no way material to the conduct of its business or
operations, promptly xxx for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to
recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and
shall take such other actions as Lender shall deem appropriate under the
circumstances to protect such Collateral.
Section 5. MASTER SECURITY AGREEMENT. The security interests granted pursuant to this
Agreement are granted in conjunction with the security interests granted to Lender by Grantor

hereby are more fully set forth in the Master Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which
are incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth herein.
Section 6. REINSTATEMENT. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and
continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Grantor for liquidation or
reorganization, should Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any
creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part
of Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at
any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to
applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any
obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or
otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any
payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be
reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned.
Section 7. INDEMNIFICATION. (A) Grantor assumes all responsibility and liability
arising from the use of the Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights and Grantor hereby indemnifies
and holds Lender harmless from and against any claim, suit, loss, damage or expense (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of Grantor’s operations of its business from the use of the
Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights. (B) In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Lender
under any Patent License, Trademark License or Copyright License for any sum owing thereunder, or
to enforce any provisions of such license, Grantor will indemnify and keep Lender harmless from and
against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set off, counterclaim,
recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the obligee thereunder, arising out of a breach
of Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or
liability at any time owing to or in favor of such obligee or its successors from Grantor, and all
such obligations of Grantor shall be and remain enforceable against and only against Grantor and
shall not be enforceable against Lender.
Section 8. NOTICES. Whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request,
consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any
of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to give and serve upon
any other party any communication with respect to this Agreement, each such
notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in
writing and shall be given in the manner, and deemed received, as provided for in the Purchase
Agreement.

Section 9. TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. Subject to Section 6 hereof, this
Agreement shall terminate upon payment in full in cash of all Obligations and irrevocable
termination of the Purchase Agreement.
Section 10. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one instrument.
It is understood and agreed that if facsimile copies of this Agreement bearing facsimile
signatures are exchanged between the parties hereto, such copies shall in all respects have the
same weight, force and legal effect and shall be fully as valid, binding, and enforceable as if
such signed facsimile copies were original documents bearing original signature.
