To Grantor’s knowledge, this Intellectual Property Security Agreement is effective to create a valid and continuing Lien on all of Grantor’s Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights and such security interests are enforceable against any and all creditors of, and purchasers from, Grantor. To Grantor’s knowledge, upon filing of this Intellectual Property Security Agreement with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, and the filing of appropriate financing statements as set forth in the Security Agreement, all action necessary or desirable to protect and perfect Lender’s Lien on Grantor’s Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights shall have been duly taken.
4. COVENANTS. Grantor covenants and agrees with Lender that from and after the date of this Intellectual Property Security Agreement:
(a) Grantor shall notify Lender immediately if it knows or has reason to know (i) that any application or registration relating to any Patent, Trademark or Copyright (now or hereafter existing) which is material to the Grantor’s business may become abandoned or dedicated or (ii) 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 which is material to the Grantor’s business or its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same.
(b) If Grantor, either directly or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, files 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, then Grantor shall notify Lender of such filing and provide Lender copies of all such applications, in each case, within three business days of such filing 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.

5. SECURITY AGREEMENT. The security interests granted pursuant to this Intellectual Property Security Agreement are granted in conjunction with the security interests granted to Lender pursuant to the Security Agreement. Grantor hereby acknowledges and affirms that the rights and remedies of Lender with respect to the security interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral made and granted hereby are more fully set forth in the Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth herein. Lender acknowledges and agrees that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing nothing herein shall prevent Grantor from granting licenses in and to the Intellectual Property Collateral in the ordinary course of Grantor’s business.
6. REINSTATEMENT. This Intellectual Property Security 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.
7. 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 Intellectual Property Security 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 Security Agreement.
