  (a)   All Copyrights and Copyright Licenses.
 
  (b)   All Patents and Patent Licenses.
 
  (c)   All Trademarks and Trademark Licenses.
 
  (d)   All renewals of any of the foregoing.
 
  (e)   All General Intangibles connected with the use of, or related to, any and all Intellectual Property (including, without limitation, all goodwill of the Grantor and its business, products and services appurtenant to, associated with, or symbolized by, any and all Intellectual Property and the use thereof).
 
  (f)   All income, royalties, damages and payments now and hereafter due and/or payable under and with respect to any of the foregoing, including, without

 

      limitation, payments under all Licenses entered into in connection therewith and damages and payments for past or future infringements or dilutions thereof.
 
  (g)   The right to sue for past, present and future infringements and dilutions of any of the foregoing.

  (b)   Take all actions reasonably necessary to prevent any of the Intellectual Property from becoming forfeited, abandoned, dedicated to the public, invalidated or impaired in any way.
 
  (c)   At the Grantor's sole cost, expense, and risk, pursue the reasonably prompt, diligent processing of each application for registration which is the subject of the security interest created herein and not abandon or delay any such efforts.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no Material Adverse Change would result therefrom, Grantor shall not have an obligation to use or to maintain any Intellectual Property (i) that relates solely to any product that has been discontinued, abandoned or terminated, (ii) that is not necessary, in the reasonable business judgment of the Grantor, for the conduct of the business of the Grantor from time to time or (iii) that has been replaced with Intellectual Property substantially similar to the Intellectual Property that may be abandoned or otherwise become invalid, so long as the failure to use or maintain such Intellectual Property does not materially adversely affect the validity of such replacement Intellectual Property and so long as such replacement Intellectual Property is subject to the lien created by this Agreement.

     4. Grantor's Representations and Warranties: The Grantor represents and warrants that, except as disclosed in or pursuant to the Loan Agreement:

  (a)   EXHIBIT A is a true, correct and complete list of all Copyrights and Copyright Licenses owned by the Grantor as of the date hereof.

 

  (b)   EXHIBIT B is a true, correct and complete list of all Patents and Patent Licenses owned by the Grantor as of the date hereof.
 
  (c)   EXHIBIT C is a true, correct and complete list of all Trademarks and Trademark Licenses owned by the Grantor as of the date hereof.
 
  (d)   Except as set forth in EXHIBITS A, B and C, none of the Intellectual Property is the subject of any licensing or franchise agreement pursuant to which Grantor is the licensor or franchisor.
 
  (e)   All IP Collateral is, and shall remain, free and clear of all liens, Encumbrances, or security interests in favor of any Person, other than Permitted Encumbrances and liens in favor of the Lender.
 
  (f)   No material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use by Grantor of any of its Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any of its Intellectual Property, nor does Grantor know of any valid basis for any such claim, except as otherwise set forth in the Loan Agreement. No holding, decision or judgment has been rendered by any governmental authority which would limit, cancel or question the validity of Grantor's rights in, any Intellectual Property in any respect that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change on the business or the property of Grantor.
 
  (g)   The Grantor shall give the Lender written notice (with reasonable detail) within ten (10) days following the occurrence of any of the following:

  (i)   The Grantor's obtaining rights to, and filing applications for registration of, any new Intellectual Property, or otherwise acquiring ownership of any newly registered Intellectual Property (other than the Grantor's right to sell products containing the trademarks of others in the ordinary course of the Grantor's business).
 
  (ii)   The Grantor's becoming entitled to the benefit of any registered Intellectual Property whether as licensee or licensor (other than the Grantor's right to sell products containing the trademarks of others in the ordinary course of the Grantor's business).
 
  (iii)   The Grantor's entering into any new outbound Licenses or any material inbound Licenses other than Licenses for the use of tradenames or trademarks in connection with selling goods or otherwise in the ordinary course of Grantor's business.
 
  (iv)   The Grantor's knowing that any application or registration relating to any Intellectual Property may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination or development (including, without limitation, the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the PTO, the Copyright Office or any court or tribunal) regarding the Grantor's ownership of, or the validity of,

 

      any Intellectual Property or the Grantor's right to register the same or to own and maintain the same.

  5.   Agreement Applies to Future Intellectual Property:
 
  (a)   The provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply to any such additional property or rights described in subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 4(g), above, all of which shall be deemed to be and treated as "Intellectual Property" within the meaning of this Agreement.
 
  (b)   Upon the reasonable request of the Lender, the Grantor shall execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Lender may request to evidence the Lender's security interest in any Copyright, Patent or Trademark and the goodwill and General Intangibles of the Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby (including, without limitation, filings with the PTO, the Copyright Office or any similar office), and the Grantor hereby constitutes the Lender as 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; provided, however, the Lender's taking of such action shall not be a condition to the creation or perfection of the security interest created hereby.

     6. Grantor's Rights To Enforce Intellectual Property: Prior to the Lender's giving of notice to the Grantor following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Grantor shall have the exclusive right to sue for past, present and future infringement of the Intellectual Property including the right to seek injunctions and/or money damages, in an effort by the Borrowers to protect the Intellectual Property against encroachment by third parties, provided, however:

  (a)   The Grantor provide the Lender with written notice of any such suit for enforcement of any Intellectual Property.
 
  (b)   Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender, by notice to the Grantor may terminate or limit the Grantor's rights under this Section 6.
 
  7.   Lender's Actions To Protect Intellectual Property: In the event of:
 
  (a)   the Grantor's failure, within five (5) days of written notice from the Lender, to cure any failure by the Grantor to observe or perform any of the Grantor's material covenants, agreements or other obligations hereunder; and/or
 
  (b)   the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default,

the Lender, acting in its own name or in that of the Grantor, may (but shall not be required to) act in the Grantor's place and stead and/or in the Lender's own right in connection therewith.

     8. Rights Upon Default: Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, with respect to the


 

Intellectual Property, in addition to which, in connection with the exercise of any such rights and remedies, the Lender may sell, license, assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the Intellectual Property. The Lender shall give the Grantor at least ten (10) days' prior written notice, by authenticated record, of any such intended disposition of the Intellectual Property. Any person may conclusively rely upon an affidavit of an officer of the Lender that an Event of Default has occurred and that the Lender is authorized to exercise such rights and remedies.

  9.   Lender As Attorney In Fact:
 
  (a)   The Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and designates the Lender as and for the Grantor's attorney in fact, effective following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default:

  (i)   To supplement and amend from time to time EXHIBITS A, B and C of this Agreement to include any new or additional Intellectual Property of the Grantor.
 
  (ii)   To exercise any of the rights and powers referenced herein.
 
  (iii)   To execute all such instruments, documents, and papers as the Lender determines to be appropriate in connection with the exercise of such rights and remedies and to cause the sale, license, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of the Intellectual Property.

  (b)   The within grant of a power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the Loan Agreement by a duly authorized officer of the Lender.
 
  (c)   The Lender shall not be obligated to do any of the acts or to exercise any of the powers authorized by Section 9(a), but if the Lender elects to do any such act or to exercise any of such powers, it shall not be accountable for more than it actually receives as a result of such exercise of power, and shall not be responsible to Grantor for any act or omission to act except for any act or omission to act as to which there is a final determination made in a judicial proceeding (in which proceeding the Lender has had an opportunity to be heard) which determination includes a specific finding that the subject act or omission to act had been grossly negligent or in actual bad faith.

  10.   Lender's Rights:
 
  (a)   Any use by the Lender of the Intellectual Property, as authorized hereunder in connection with the exercise of the Lender's rights and remedies under this Agreement and under the Loan Agreement shall be coextensive with the Grantor's rights thereunder and with respect thereto and without any liability for royalties or other related charges.
 
  (b)   None of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, or any act, omission, or circumstance taken or arising hereunder may be construed as directly or

 

      indirectly conveying to the Lender any rights in and to the Intellectual Property, which rights are effective only following the occurrence of any Event of Default.

     11. Intent: This Agreement is being executed and delivered by the Grantor for the purpose of registering and confirming the grant of the security interest of the Lender in the IP Collateral with the PTO and the Copyright Office. It is intended that the security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement is granted as a supplement to, and not in limitation of, the security interest granted to the Lender under the Loan Agreement. All provisions of the Loan Agreement shall apply to the IP Collateral. The Lender shall have the same rights, remedies, powers, privileges and discretions with respect to the security interests created in the IP Collateral as in all other Collateral. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Loan Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control with respect to the IP Collateral and the Loan Agreement with respect to all other Collateral.

     12. Choice of Laws: It is intended that this Agreement take effect as a sealed instrument and that all rights and obligations hereunder, including matters of construction, validity, and performance, shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
