otherwise would constitute an Event of Default, Buyer shall refund to
Seller by check after the Reconciliation Date, the amount, if any, which
Buyer owes to Seller at the end of the Reconciliation Period according to

agree that Buyer shall collect all receivables whether owned by Seller or
Buyer and (provided that there does not then exist an Event of Default or

from the date hereof, and from year to year thereafter unless terminated in
writing by Buyer or Seller. Seller and Buyer shall each have the right to
terminate this Agreement at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
termination of this Agreement shall not affect Buyer's security interest in
the Collateral and Buyer's ownership of the Purchased Receivables, and this
Agreement shall continue to be effective, and Buyer's rights and remedies
hereunder shall survive such termination, until all transactions entered
into and Obligations incurred hereunder or in connection herewith have been

by execution of this Agreement. Seller further acknowledges that (a) any
collateral under other outstanding security agreements or other documents
between Seller and Buyer or any other division or affiliate of Silicon
Valley Bank secures the obligations of Seller under this Agreement and (b)

if Grantor grants Bank a security interest in its Copyrights, Trademarks,
Patents, and Mask Works. Defined terms used but not defined herein shall
have the same meanings as in the Purchase Agreement.
B. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Grantor has granted to
Bank a security interest in all of Grantor's right title and interest,
whether presently existing or hereafter acquired in, to and under all of
the Collateral.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged and intending to be legally bound, as collateral security
for the prompt and complete payment when due of Grantor's Indebtedness under the
Purchase Agreement, Grantor hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as
follows:
1. Grant of Security Interest. As collateral security for the prompt and
complete payment and performance of all of Grantor's present or future
Indebtedness, obligations and liabilities to Bank, Grantor hereby grants a
security interest in all of Grantor's right, title and interest in, to and
under its Intellectual Property Collateral (all of which shall collectively
be called the "Intellectual Property Collateral"), including, without
limitation, the following:
(a) Any and all copyright rights, copyright applications, copyright
registrations and like protections in each work or authorship and
derivative work thereof, whether published or unpublished and whether
or not the same also constitutes a trade secret, now or hereafter
existing, created, acquired or held, including without limitation
those set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, the
"Copyrights");
(b) Any and all trade secrets, and any and all intellectual property
rights in computer software and computer software products now or
hereafter existing, created, acquired or held;
(c) Any and all design rights which may be available to Grantor now or

semiconductor chips, now owned or hereafter acquired, including,
without limitation those set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto
(collectively, the "Mask Works");
(g) Any and all claims for damages by way of past, present and future
infringements of any of the rights included above, with the right, but
not the obligation, to xxx for and collect such damages for said use
or infringement of the intellectual property rights identified above;

Trademarks, or Mask Works and all license fees and royalties arising
from such use to the extent permitted by such license or rights; and
(i) All amendments, extensions, renewals and extensions of any of the
Copyrights, Trademarks, Patents, or Mask Works; and

agrees as follows:
(a) Grantor is now the sole owner of the Intellectual Property Collateral,
except for non-exclusive licenses granted by Grantor to its customers
in the ordinary course of business.
(b) Performance of this IP Agreement does not conflict with or result in a
breach of any IP Agreement to which Grantor is bound, except to the
extent that certain intellectual property agreements prohibit the
assignment of the rights thereunder to a third party without the
licensor's or other party's consent and this IP Agreement constitutes
a security interest.
(c) During the term of this IP Agreement, Grantor will not transfer or
otherwise encumber any interest in the Intellectual Property
Collateral, except for non-exclusive licenses granted by Grantor in
the ordinary course of business or as set forth in this IP Agreement;
(d) To its knowledge, each of the Patents is valid and enforceable, and no

or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been made that
any part of the Intellectual Property Collateral violates the rights
of any third party;
(e) Grantor shall promptly advise Bank of any material adverse change in
the composition of the Collateral, including but not limited to any
subsequent ownership right of the Grantor in or to any Trademark,
Patent, Copyright, or Mask Work specified in this IP Agreement;
(f) Grantor shall (i) protect, defend and maintain the validity and
enforceability of the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, and Mask Works,
(ii) use its best efforts to detect infringements of the Trademarks,
Patents, Copyrights, and Mask Works and promptly advise Bank in
writing of material infringements detected and (iii) not allow any
Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, or Mask Works to be abandoned,
forfeited or dedicated to the public without the written consent of
Bank, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless Grantor
determines that reasonable business practices suggest that abandonment
is appropriate.
(g) Grantor shall not register any Copyrights or Mask Works with the
United States Copyright Office unless it: (i) has given at least
fifteen (15) days' prior notice to Bank of its intent to register such
Copyrights or Mask Works and has provided Bank with a copy of the
application it intends to file with the United States Copyright Office
(excluding exhibits thereto); (ii) executes a security agreement or
such other documents as Bank may reasonably request in order to
maintain the perfection and priority of Bank's security interest in
the Copyrights proposed to b e registered with the United States
Copyright Office; and (iii) records such security documents with the
United States Copyright Office contemporaneously with filing the
Copyright application(s) with the United States Copyright Office.
Grantor shall promptly provide to Bank a copy of the Copyright
application(s) filed with the United States Copyright Office, together
with evidence of the recording of the security documents necessary for
Bank to maintain the perfection and priority of its security interest
in such Copyrights or Mask Works. Grantor shall provide written notice
to Bank of any application filed by Grantor in the United States
Patent Trademark Office for a patent or to register a trademark or
service xxxx within 30 days of any such filing;
(h) This IP Agreement creates, and in the case of after acquired
Intellectual Property Collateral, this IP Agreement will create at the
time Grantor first has rights in such after acquired Intellectual
Property Collateral, in favor of Bank a valid and perfected first
priority security interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral in
the United States securing the payment and performance of the
obligations evidenced by the Purchase Agreement upon making the
filings referred to in clause (i) below;
(i) To its knowledge, except for, and upon, the filing with the United
States Patent and Trademark office with respect to the Patents and
Trademarks and the Register of Copyrights with respect to the
Copyrights and Mask Works necessary to perfect the security interests
created hereunder and except as has been already made or obtained, no
authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing
with, any U.S. governmental authority of U.S. regulatory body is
required either (i) for the grant by Grantor of the security interest
granted hereby or for the execution, delivery or performance of this
IP Agreement by Grantor in the U.S. or (ii) for the perfection in the
United States or the exercise by Bank of its rights and remedies
thereunder;
(j) All information heretofore, herein or hereafter supplied to Bank by or
on behalf of Grantor with respect to the Intellectual Property
Collateral is accurate and complete in all material respects.
(k) Grantor shall not enter into any agreement that would materially
impair or conflict with Grantor's obligations hereunder without Bank's
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Grantor shall not permit the inclusion in any material
contract to which it becomes a party of any provisions that could or
might in any way prevent the creation of a security interest in
Grantor's rights and interest in any property included within the
definition of the Intellectual property Collateral acquired under such
contracts, except that certain contracts may contain anti-assignment
provisions that could in effect prohibit the creation of a security
interest in such contracts.
(l) Upon any executive officer of Grantor obtaining actual knowledge
thereof, Grantor will promptly notify Bank in writing of any event
that materially adversely affects the value of any material
Intellectual Property Collateral, the ability of Grantor to dispose of
any material Intellectual Property Collateral of the rights and
remedies of Bank in relation thereto, including the levy of any legal
process against any of the Intellectual Property Collateral.
4. Bank's Rights. Bank shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take,
at Grantor's sole expense, any actions that Grantor is required under this
IP Agreement to take but which Grantor fails to take, after fifteen (15)
days' notice to Grantor. Grantor shall reimburse and indemnify Bank for all
reasonable costs and reasonable expenses incurred in the reasonable
exercise of its rights under this section 4.
5. Inspection Rights. Grantor hereby grants to Bank and its employees,
representatives and agents the right to visit, during reasonable hours upon
prior reasonable written notice to Grantor, and any of Grantor's plants and
facilities that manufacture, install or store products (or that have done
so during the prior six-month period) that are sold utilizing any of the
Intellectual Property Collateral, and to inspect the products and quality
control records relating thereto upon reasonable written notice to Grantor
and as often as may be reasonably requested, but not more than one (1) in
every six (6) months; provided, however, nothing herein shall entitle Bank
access to Grantor's trade secrets and other proprietary information.
6. Further Assurances; Attorney in Fact.

encumbrances and restrictions and prospective licenses, make, execute,

recording places in the United States, all such instruments, including
appropriate financing and continuation statements and collateral
agreements and filings with the United States Patent and Trademarks
Office and the Register of Copyrights, and take all such action as may
reasonably be deemed necessary or advisable, or as requested by Bank,

Trademarks, and Mask Works and otherwise to carry out the intent and
purposes of this IP Agreement, or for assuring and confirming to Bank
the grant or perfection of a security interest in all Intellectual
Property Collateral.

first obtaining Grantor's approval of or signature to such
modification by amending Exhibit A, Exhibit B, Exhibit C, and

right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks
or Mask Works acquired by Grantor after the execution hereof or
to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any
Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks, or Mask Works in which Grantor
no longer has or claims any right, title or interest; and
(ii) To file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or
continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any
of the Intellectual Property Collateral without the signature of
Grantor where permitted by law.

right to require Grantor to assemble the Intellectual Property Collateral
and any tangible property in which Bank has a security interest and to make
it available to Bank at a place designated by Bank. Bank shall have a
nonexclusive, royalty free license to use the Copyrights, Patents,
Trademarks, and Mask Works to the extent reasonably necessary to permit
Bank to exercise its rights and remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default. Grantor will pay any expenses (including reasonable attorney's

all losses or expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Bank as a
result of or in any way arising out of, following or consequential to
transactions between Bank and Grantor, whether under this IP Agreement or
otherwise (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and
reasonable expenses), except for losses arising from or out of Bank's gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
10. Reassignment. At such time as Grantor shall completely satisfy all of the
obligations secured hereunder, Bank shall execute and deliver to Grantor
all deed, assignments, and other instruments as may be necessary or proper
to reinvest in Grantor full title to the property assigned hereunder,
subject to any disposition thereof which may have been made by Bank
pursuant hereto.
11. Course of Dealing. No course of dealing, nor any failure to exercise, nor
any delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof.
