3

whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Grantor, including, but not limited

together with all extensions, renewals, reversionary rights, and corrections

past, present or future infringement of the Trademarks, Patents or Copyrights
and any royalties from licenses to third parties of the Trademarks, Patents or
Copyrights.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing premises to the contrary, the grant of a
security interest as provided herein shall not extend to, and the term "IP
Collateral" shall not include, any property of Grantor (whether owned or held as
licensee or lessee, or otherwise), to the extent that (i) such property is not
assignable or capable of being encumbered as a matter of law or under the terms
of the license or other agreement applicable thereto (but solely to the extent
that any such restriction shall be enforceable under applicable law), without
the consent of the licensor thereof or other applicable party thereto and (ii)
such consent has not been obtained; provided, however, that the foregoing grant
of security interest shall extend to, and the term "IP Collateral" shall
include, any proceeds of any property which is otherwise excluded under phrase
(i) to the extent that assignment or encumbrance of such proceeds is not
restricted.
1. Grantor hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) Grantor has the sole, full and clear title to the Trademarks for
the goods and services with which the Trademarks are used (except as provided in
paragraph 1(g) below and in Schedules A and A-1 attached hereto). Except for the
Trademarks set forth on Schedule A-1, the registrations of the Trademarks are
valid and subsisting and in full force and effect. Grantor has not granted a
license or otherwise agreed to allow any third party, other than its
Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of their business, to use any Trademark
(except as provided in Schedule A attached hereto). Grantor has used and will
continue to use for the duration of this Agreement standards of quality in the
manufacture of products sold under the Trademarks that are at least equal to
those standards in effect as of the date of this Agreement to the extent that
the failure to do so would cause a Material Adverse Change.
(b) Grantor (either itself or through its licensees) will continue to
use the Trademarks on each and every trademark class of goods applicable to its
current lines of goods as reflected in its current catalogs, brochures and price
lists in order to maintain the Trademarks in full force and effect, in the
ordinary course of business, free from any claim of
3
4
abandonment for nonuse, and Grantor will not (and will not permit any licensee
thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any Trademark may
become invalidated, provided, however, that Grantor may abandon any Trademark if
Grantor believes in its reasonable business judgment that such abandonment is in
the best interest of Grantor's business, provided, further, that (i) Grantor
gives Agent prompt written notice of Grantor's intent to abandon any Trademark
at least 30 days prior to abandonment, and (ii) such abandonment will not,
itself or in conjunction with any other event, materially decrease the value of
the IP Collateral. Grantor hereby informs Agent that Grantor may have heretofore
abandoned the Trademarks listed on Schedule A-1.
(c) Grantor has the sole, full and clear title to the Patents shown on
Schedule B hereto and such patents are valid and subsisting and in full force
and effect and have not been adjudged or, to Grantor's knowledge, claimed
invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part (except as provided in paragraph
l(g) below and in Schedules B and B-1 attached hereto). Grantor has not granted
a license or otherwise agreed to allow any third party, other than its
Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of their business, to use any Patent (except
as provided in Schedule B attached hereto). Grantor (either itself or through
its licensees) shall xxxx products made and sold under the Patents in accordance
with the U.S. Patent Act and other applicable laws. Grantor shall diligently
prosecute any patent application now pending or acquired or made by it during
the term of this Agreement, shall make applications on unpatented but patentable
inventions, and shall preserve and maintain all rights of any kind in the
Patents, which, in each case, Grantor believes in its reasonable business
judgment are in the best business interests of Grantor. Grantor believes that
none of the Patents (other than those listed on Schedule B-1) has been abandoned
or dedicated and Grantor will not do any act, or omit to do any act, nor permit
any licensee thereof to do any act whereby any Patent may become abandoned or
dedicated and shall notify Foothill immediately if it knows or has reason to
believe that any material Patent may become abandoned or dedicated, provided,
however, that Grantor may abandon any Patent if Grantor believes in its
reasonable business judgment that such abandonment is in the best interest of
Grantor's business, provided, further, that (i) Grantor gives Agent prompt
written notice of Grantor's intent to abandon any Patent at least 30 days prior
to abandonment, and (ii) such abandonment will not, itself or in conjunction
with any other event, materially decrease the value of the IP Collateral.
(d) Grantor (either itself or through its licensees) will place
appropriate notice of copyright on all copies embodying copyrighted works which
are publicly distributed and Grantor will not (and will not permit any licensee
thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any Copyright may
become invalidated or dedicated to the public domain.
(e) Grantor will promptly perform all acts and execute all documents,
including, without limitation, grants of security in forms acceptable to Agent
and suitable for recording with (i) the United States Patent and Trademark
Office and the United States Register of Copyrights, and (ii) the appropriate
offices and agencies of foreign jurisdictions reasonably requested by Agent at
any time to evidence, perfect, maintain, record
4
5
or enforce the Agent's interest, for the benefit of the Lender Group, in the IP
Collateral or otherwise in furtherance of the provisions of this Agreement.
Grantor hereby authorizes Agent to execute and file one or more financing
statements (and any similar documents) or copies thereof or of this Agreement
with respect to the IP Collateral signed only by Agent (with a copy sent to
Grantor).
(f) In the event that Grantor, either itself or through any
subsidiary, affiliate, agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall file an
application for the issuance of any Patent or registration of any Trademark with
the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or any similar office of the
United States or in any office of the Secretary of State (or equivalent) of any
state thereof, or for the registration of any Copyright with the United States
Register of Copyrights, or for the registration of any Patent, Trademark or
Copyright in any similar office or agency of any country or political
subdivision thereof throughout the world, or shall obtain issuance of any Patent
or registration of any Trademark or Copyright previously applied for, or shall
adopt, acquire or obtain rights to any new trademark, patent application or work
for which a copyright application has been or is expected to be filed, or become
entitled to the benefit of any patent application or any patent or any part
thereof for reissue, re-examination, continuation, continuation-in-part,
division, improvement or extension, Grantor shall (i) inform Agent of any such
event or action in monthly reports which Grantor is required to deliver to Agent
pursuant to the Loan Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver any and all
assignments, agreements, instruments, documents and papers as are necessary or
appropriate or as Agent may reasonably request to evidence Agent's interest, for
the benefit of the Lender Group, in such Trademark, Patent or Copyright and the
goodwill and general intangibles of Grantor relating thereto or represented
thereby. Grantor hereby constitutes Agent, or its agent, its attorney-in-fact to
execute and file all such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such
attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power being coupled with an
interest is irrevocable until the Obligations are paid in full. Grantor
authorizes the amendment of the schedules hereto to include any future
Trademark, Patent or Copyright registrations or applications which may be
acquired or made by Grantor.
(g) Grantor has the authority, right and power to enter into this
Agreement and to perform its terms and to grant the security interest herein
granted, and has not entered and will not enter into any oral or written
agreements which would prevent Grantor from complying with the terms hereof,
provided, however, Grantor may enter into or maintain in effect such license
agreements (including, without limitation, those set forth on Schedules A, B and
C hereto) with respect to the IP Collateral as Grantor believes in its
reasonable business judgment are in the best interest of Grantor's business, so
long as any such license agreement permits the assignment thereof to Agent for
the benefit of the Lender Group. The IP Collateral is not, to Grantor's
knowledge, now, and at all times will not be, subject to any liens, charges,
mortgages, assignments, security interests, licenses, claims, shop rights,
covenants not to xxx third persons, or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever,
except in favor of Agent for the benefit of the Lender Group; provided, however,
Grantor may enter into such license agreements with respect to the IP Collateral
as Grantor believes in its reasonable business judgment are in the best interest
of Grantor's business, so long as any such license agreement
5
6
permits the assignment thereof to Agent for the benefit of the Lender Group. To
the best knowledge of Grantor, none of the IP Collateral is subject to any
claims of any other party, except as may be indicated on Schedules A, B and C to
this Agreement.
(h) Except for Permitted Liens and to the extent that Agent and the
Lenders, upon prior written notice from Grantor, shall consent, Grantor will not
assign, sell, mortgage, lease, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, grant a security
interest in or lien upon, encumber, grant an exclusive license, or otherwise
dispose of any of the IP Collateral, and nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed a consent by Agent or any Lender to any such action except as expressly
permitted herein.
(i) As of the date hereof Grantor has no Trademarks, Patents or
Copyrights registered, or which are the subject of any pending application, in
the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or any similar office of the
United States or in any office of the Secretary of State (or equivalent) of any
state thereof, or the United States Register of Copyrights, or in any similar
office or agency of any country or political subdivision thereof throughout the
world, other than those identified in Schedules A, B and C hereto.
(j) Grantor will take all commercially reasonable steps in any
proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States
Register of Copyrights or similar office or agency of the United States or any
office of the Secretary of State (or equivalent) of any state thereof, or in any
similar office or agency of any country or political subdivision thereof
throughout the world, to maintain each application and registration of the IP
Collateral, including, without limitation, filing of renewals, extensions,
affidavits of use and incontestability, and opposition, interference and
cancellation proceedings (except to the extent that dedication, abandonment or
invalidation is permitted under paragraphs 1(b) and 1(c) hereof). Grantor shall
notify Agent promptly in writing if any application or registration relating to
any IP Collateral may become abandoned or dedicated or subject to an adverse
final determination in any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark
Office or United States Register of Copyrights or in any similar office or
agency of any country or political subdivision thereof throughout the world or
in any court regarding Grantor's ownership of such Patent or Trademark, its
right to register same, or to keep or maintain the validity of same.
(k) In the event that Grantor acquires actual knowledge that any
Trademark, Patent or Copyright is infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a
third party, Grantor shall promptly xxx for infringement, misappropriation
and/or dilution and to obtain injunctive relief and recover damages therefor,
unless Grantor shall determine in its reasonable business judgment that such
suit is not in the best interest of Grantor's business, and Grantor shall take
such other actions reasonably required to protect such Trademark, Patent or
Copyright as Grantor shall deem appropriate in its reasonable business judgment
under the circumstances. Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
Agent shall have the right, but in no way shall be obligated, to bring suit in
its own name to enforce the Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights and any licenses
thereunder, in which event Grantor shall,
6
7
at the request of Agent, do any and all lawful acts requested by Agent and
execute any and all documents required by to aid such enforcement, and Grantor
shall, upon demand, promptly reimburse and indemnify Agent for all costs and
expenses incurred in such enforcement.
2. Upon and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Required
Lenders (at their election but without notice of their election and without
demand) may, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided or required
below, authorize and instruct Agent to do any one or more of the following on
behalf of the Lender Group (and Agent, acting upon the instructions of the
Required Lenders, shall do the same on behalf of the Lender Group), all of which
are authorized by Grantor, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided
for in the Loan Documents, all such rights and remedies being cumulative, not
exclusive, and enforceable alternatively, successively or concurrently, without
(except as provided herein or in the other Loan Documents) notice to, or consent
by, Grantor:
(a) Agent may (without assuming any obligations or liability
thereunder), at any time, enforce (and shall have the exclusive right to
enforce) against any licensee or sublicensee all rights and remedies of Grantor
in, to and under any one or more license agreements with respect to the IP
Collateral, and take or refrain from taking any action under any thereof, and
Grantor hereby releases each member of the Lender Group from, and agrees to hold
each member of the Lender Group free and harmless from and against any claims
arising out of, any action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to any such
license agreement;
(b) Agent may, at any time and from time to time, upon ten (10) days'
prior notice to Grantor, assign, sell, or otherwise dispose of the IP Collateral
or any of it, either with or without special or other conditions or
stipulations, with power to buy the IP Collateral or any part of it, and do all
other acts and things for completing the assignment, sale or disposition which
Agent shall, in its sole discretion, deem appropriate or proper;
(c) In addition to the foregoing, in order to implement the
assignment, sale, license or other disposal of any of the IP Collateral pursuant
to subparagraphs 2(a) and (b) hereof, Agent may, at any time and from time to
time, pursuant to the authority granted in the Power of Attorney described in
paragraph 3 hereof (such authority becoming effective upon an Event of Default),
execute and deliver on behalf of Grantor one or more instruments of assignment,
sale, license or other disposition of the IP Collateral. Grantor agrees to pay
when due all reasonable costs incurred in any such transfer of the IP
Collateral, including any taxes, fees and reasonable attorneys' fees, and all
such costs shall be added to the Obligations. Agent may apply the proceeds
actually received from any such license, assignment, sale or other disposition
in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 2; and Grantor shall remain
liable and will pay Agent on demand any deficiency remaining, together with
interest thereon at a rate equal to the rate then payable on the Obligations and
the balance of any expenses unpaid. Nothing herein contained shall be construed
as requiring Agent to take any such action at any time; and
7
8
(d) Except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the proceeds of any
collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the IP Collateral
pursuant hereto, shall be applied to the Obligations in such order as Agent
shall determine consistent with Section 2.4(b) of the Loan Agreement until the
Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash.
3. Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, Grantor is
executing and delivering to Agent, in the form of Exhibit A hereto,
respectively, three originals of a Power of Attorney for the implementation of
any assignment, sale or other disposition of the Trademarks, Patents or
Copyrights or any of them pursuant to paragraphs 2(a), (b) and (c) hereof.
4. No provision hereof shall be modified, altered or limited except by a
written instrument expressly referring to this Agreement and executed by the
party to be charged. The execution and delivery of this Agreement has been
properly authorized by the board of directors of Grantor and by any necessary
vote or consent of stockholders thereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon
the successors, permitted assigns or other legal representatives of Grantor, and
shall inure to the benefit of the Lender Group, their successors, permitted
assigns or other legal representatives. This Agreement, the Obligations and the
IP Collateral shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the United States
and the laws of the State of New York. If any term of this Agreement shall be
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of all other terms
hereof shall in no way be affected thereby. In the event of any inconsistency
between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Loan Agreement, the
terms of the Loan Agreement shall control.
5. This Agreement shall continue to be effective and shall be reinstated in
the event that at any time after the Obligations have been paid in full, any
payment of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or
returned by any of the Lender Group.
6. Upon payment in full in cash and performance by Grantor of all of the
Obligations (other than indemnification obligations for which no claim has been
made) and upon the termination of the Loan Agreement, this Agreement shall
terminate and Agent shall execute, file and record in each office in which any
financing statement or assignment relative to the IP Collateral, or any part
thereof, shall have been filed, a termination statement, assignment or other
appropriate instrument releasing its interest therein, all without recourse to
or warranty by any of the Lender Group and at the sole cost and expense of
Grantor.
7. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of
which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the
parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Agreement to be duly
