3.     Restrictions on Future Agreements. Assignor agrees that until all Obligations shall have been satisfied in full and the Loan Agreement shall have been terminated, Assignor will not, without Assignee’s prior written consent, enter into any agreement (including, without limitation, any license or royalty agreement) which is inconsistent with Assignor’s obligations under this Security Agreement or the Loan Agreement and Assignor further agrees that it will not take any action, or permit any action to be taken by others, subject to its control, including licensees, or fail to take any action, which would affect the validity or enforcement of the rights of Assignee under this Security Agreement.

4.     New Patents, Trademarks, and Licenses. Assignor represents and warrants that the Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and Licenses listed on Exhibits “A”, “B”, “C” and “D”, respectively, constitute all of the patents, trademarks, copyrights, applications and licenses, now owned by Assignor.

Assignor hereby authorizes Assignee to modify this Security Agreement by amending Exhibit “A”, “B”, “C” and/or “D”, as applicable, to include any future patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark registrations, trademark applications, tradenames, copyrights and licenses which are Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights or Licenses, as applicable, under Article 2 above or under this Section 4. Assignor hereby agrees to provide to Assignee such assignment or other documentation as Assignee may request to record Assignee’s lien on such future Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights or Licenses.

5.     Royalties; Term. Assignor hereby agrees that the use by Assignee of all Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and Licenses as described herein shall be worldwide and without any liability for royalties or other related charges from Assignee to Assignor.

6.     Assignee’s Right to Inspect. Assignee shall, subject to any limitation in Section 10.6 of the Loan Agreement, have the right, at any time and from time to time, to inspect Assignor’s premises and to examine Assignor’s books, records and operations, including, without limitation, Assignor’s quality control processes. Assignor agrees that upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Assignee, or a conservator appointed by Assignee, shall have the right to establish such additional reasonable product quality controls as Assignee, or said conservator, in its sole judgment, may deem necessary to assure maintenance of the quality of products sold by Assignor under the Trademarks. Assignor agrees (i) not to sell or assign its interest in, or grant any license under, the Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights or Licenses, outside of the ordinary course of business; (ii) to maintain the quality of any and all products in connection with which the Trademarks and/or Copyrights are used, consistent with quality of said products as of the date hereof; (iii) not to adversely change the quality of said products without Assignee’s express written consent; and (iv) to provide Assignee, upon request, with a certificate of an officer of Assignor certifying Assignor’s compliance with the foregoing.

7.     Termination. This Security Agreement is made for collateral purposes only. Upon payment in full of all Obligations and termination of the Loan Agreement, Assignee shall execute and deliver to Assignor a termination of Assignee’s security interest granted herein and all deeds, assignments and other instruments as may be necessary or proper to re-vest in Assignor full title to the Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and Licenses, subject to any disposition thereof which may have been made by Assignee pursuant hereto.

8.     Duties of Assignor. Assignor shall have the duty (i) to prosecute diligently any patent, trademark and copyright application pending as of the date hereof or thereafter until all Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Loan Agreement is terminated, (ii) to make application on unpatented but patentable inventions and on trademarks and copyrights, as appropriate, and (iii) to preserve and maintain all rights in patent applications and patents of the Patents, in trademark applications, trademarks and trademark registrations of the Trademarks and in copyright applications and copyrights of the Copyrights. Any expenses incurred in connection with such applications shall be borne by Assignor. Assignor shall not abandon any right to file a patent, trademark or copyright application, or any pending patent, trademark or copyright application or any Patent, Trademark, License or Copyright without the consent of the Assignee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

9.     Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, as defined in the Loan Agreement, Assignee may, without further notice to or consent of Assignor, immediately record all assignments previously executed and delivered to Assignee by Assignor and/or execute and record with all applicable offices (including, without limitation, the Patent and Trademark Office) an absolute assignment to Assignee by Assignor of all rights, title and interest of Assignor in and to the Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, Licenses and other Collateral. Assignor hereby authorizes and agrees that Assignee may, through the power of attorney granted in Section 14 hereof, irrevocably execute and deliver in Assignor’s name any and all such assignments and agreements and to take any and all other actions in Assignor’s name as Assignee shall deem reasonable or appropriate to transfer and convey all right, title and interest of Assignor in and to the Collateral to Assignee or any other person or entity selected by Assignee.

10.     Assignee’s Right to Sue. Assignee shall have the right, but shall in no way be obligated, to bring suit in its own name to enforce the Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and/or Licenses, and any licenses thereunder, and, if Assignee shall commence any such suit, Assignor shall, at the request of Assignee, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents required by Assignee in aid of such enforcement and Assignor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify Assignee for all costs and expenses incurred by Assignee in the exercise of its rights under this Section 10.

11.     Waivers. No course of dealing between Assignor and Assignee, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Assignee, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Loan Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

12.     Severability. The provisions of this Security Agreement are severable, and if any clause or provision shall be invalid and unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Security Agreement in any jurisdiction.

13.     Modification. This Security Agreement cannot be altered, amended or modified in any way, except as specifically provided in Section 4 hereof or by a writing signed by the parties hereto.

14.     Cumulative Remedies; Power of Attorney; Effect on Loan Agreement. All of Assignee’s rights and remedies with respect to the Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and Licenses, whether established hereby or by the Loan Agreement, or by any other agreements or by law shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Assignor hereby authorizes Assignee to make, constitute and appoint any officer or agent of Assignee as Assignee may select, in its sole discretion, as Assignor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power to (i) endorse Assignor’s name on all applications, documents, papers and instruments necessary or reasonably desirable for the Assignee to protect, evidence, perfect or enforce its security interest in the Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and Licenses, (ii) intentionally omitted, (iii) following an Event of Default, grant or issue any exclusive or non-exclusive license under the Patent or Trademark to anyone, including Assignee, and/or (iv) following an Event of Default, assign, pledge, convey or otherwise transfer title in or dispose of the Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights or Licenses to anyone, including Assignee. Assignee may act under such power of attorney to take the actions referenced in Section 4. Assignee hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable until all Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Loan Agreement shall have been terminated. Assignor acknowledges and agrees that this Security Agreement is not intended to limit or restrict in any way the rights and remedies of Assignee under the Loan Agreement but rather is intended to facilitate the exercise of such rights and remedies given it by the terms of this Security Agreement, all rights and remedies allowed by law and the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any jurisdiction in which the Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights or Licenses may be located.

15.     Binding Effect; Benefits. This Security Agreement shall be binding upon the Assignor and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Assignee, its nominees, successors and assigns.

16.     Governing Law. This Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
