3.
General Representations and Warranties.
The Debtor represents and warrants to the Secured Party that:
2
(a)
The Debtor is the owner or authorized user of the Collateral (or, in the case of after-acquired Collateral, at the time Debtor acquires rights in the Collateral, will be the owner or authorized user thereof) and that no other Person has (or, in the case of after-acquired Collateral, at the time the Debtor acquires rights therein, will have) any right, title, claim or interest (by way of Lien or otherwise) in, against or to the Collateral, other than Permitted Liens;
(b)
Upon the filing of UCC-1 financing statements in the appropriate filing offices and/or patent office (as generally set forth in Exhibit 2 hereto), the Secured Party has (or, in the case of after-acquired Collateral, at the time the Debtor acquires rights therein, will have) a perfected security interest in the Collateral to the extent that a security interest in the Collateral can be perfected by such filing, except for Permitted Liens; and
(c)
The originals of all documents evidencing all accounts receivable and payment intangibles of the Debtor and the only original books of account and records of the Debtor relating thereto are, and will continue to be, kept at the chief executive office of the Debtor as the same may be changed only upon prior written notice to the Secured Party.
4.
Covenants Relating to Collateral.
The Debtor hereby agrees:
(a)
To perform all acts that may be necessary to maintain, preserve, protect, and perfect the Collateral, the Lien granted to the Secured Party therein and the perfection and priority of such Lien by filing, except for Permitted Liens;
(b)
Not to use or permit any Collateral to be used (i) in violation in any material respect of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or (ii) in violation of any policy of insurance covering the Collateral;
(c)
To pay prior to delinquency all taxes and other governmental charges, all Liens and all other charges now or hereafter imposed upon or affecting any Collateral, other than Liens for delinquent taxes outstanding as of the date hereof, except as may be subject to good faith contest or as to which a bona fide dispute may arise;
(d)
Without prior written notice to the Secured Party, (i) not to change the Debtor’s name or place of business (or, if the Debtor has more than one place of business, its chief executive office), or the office in which the Debtor’s records relating to accounts receivable and payment intangibles are kept and (ii) not to change the Debtor’s state of formation;
(e)
To procure, execute, and deliver from time to time any endorsements, assignments, financing statements, and other writings reasonably deemed necessary or appropriate by the Secured Party to perfect, maintain, and protect its Lien hereunder and the priority thereof and to deliver promptly upon the request of the Secured Party all originals of Collateral consisting of instruments;
(f)
Not to surrender or lose possession of (other than to the Secured Party), sell, encumber, lease, rent, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Collateral or right or interest therein, and to keep the Collateral free of all Liens except Permitted Liens; provided that the Debtor may sell, lease, transfer, license or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral in the ordinary course of business consisting of (i) the sale of inventory; (ii) sales of worn-out or obsolete equipment; (iii) non-exclusive licenses and similar arrangements for the use of the property of the Debtor; and (iv) escrows of software or other intellectual property entered into by the Debtor in the ordinary course of the Debtor’s business;

5.
Authorized Action by the Secured Party.
The Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party as its attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest) and agrees that the Secured Party may perform (but the Secured Party shall not be obligated to and shall incur no liability to the Debtor or any third party for failure so to do) any act which the Debtor is obligated by this Agreement to perform, and to exercise such rights and powers as the Debtor might exercise with respect to the Collateral, including the right to:
(a)
collect by legal proceedings or otherwise and endorse, receive and receipt for all dividends, interest, payments, proceeds, and other sums and property now or hereafter payable on or on account of the Collateral;

The Debtor agrees to reimburse the Secured Party upon demand for any reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, the Secured Party may incur while acting as the Debtor’s attorney-in-fact hereunder, all of which costs and expenses are included in the Obligations. It is further agreed and understood between the parties hereto that such care as the Secured Party gives to the safekeeping of its own property of like kind shall constitute reasonable care of the Collateral when in the Secured Party’s possession; provided, however, that the Secured Party shall not be required to make any presentment, demand or protest, or give any notice and need not take any action to preserve any rights against any prior party or any other person in connection with the Obligations or with respect to the Collateral.
6.
Litigation and Other Proceedings.
(a)
The Debtor shall have the right and obligation to commence and diligently prosecute such suits, proceedings or other actions for infringement or other damage, or reexamination or reissue proceedings, or opposition or cancellation proceedings as are reasonable to protect any of the patents, trademarks, copyrights, mask works or trade secrets.
4
(b)
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, as defined in the Note, the Secured Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring suit or institute proceedings in the name of the Debtor or the Secured Party to enforce any rights in the Collateral, including any license thereunder, in which event the Debtor shall at the request of the Secured Party do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents reasonably required by the Secured Party in aid of such enforcement. If the Secured Party elects not to bring suit to enforce any right under the Collateral, including any license thereunder, the Debtor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by suit, proceeding or other action, to cause to cease any infringement of any right under the Collateral by any Person and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing necessary to prevent such infringement.
7.
Default and Remedies

The Debtor and the Secured Party each hereby agrees that thirty (30) days’ notice of any intended sale or disposition of any Collateral is reasonable. In furtherance of the Secured Party’s rights hereunder, the Debtor hereby grants to the Secured Party an irrevocable, non-exclusive license, exercisable without royalty or other payment by the Secured Party, and only in connection with the exercise of remedies hereunder upon an Event of Default, to use, license or sublicense any patent, trademark, trade name, copyright or other intellectual property in which the Debtor now or hereafter has any right, title or interest together with the right of access to all media in which any of the foregoing may be recorded or stored.
(c)
