Bank authorizes Borrower, Purchaser, or any other party on behalf of Borrower, after review by Bank, to file any UCC-3 Termination Statements or other documents necessary to evidence the release of Bank’s security interests in the Purchased Assets.  In addition, Bank shall take any other actions, as may be reasonably requested by Borrower or which are required to evidence the release of the Purchased Assets, in each case at the expense of Borrower (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses).

6.    FEES. Borrower shall reimburse Bank for all legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with this amendment to the Existing Loan Documents.

7.    RATIFICATION OF IP AGREEMENTS. Other than with respect to the Purchased Assets being released herein, Borrower hereby ratifies, confirms and reaffirms, all and singular, the terms and conditions of the IP Agreements, and acknowledges, confirms and agrees that said IP Agreements, as modified by certain disclosures made by Borrower to Bank through and including the date hereof, contain an accurate and complete listing of all Intellectual Property Collateral as defined in each respective IP Agreement, and each remains in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of any of the IP Agreements, Borrower shall not register any Copyrights or Mask Works in the United States Copyright Office unless it: (i) has given at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written 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 be 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. Borrower 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. Borrower shall provide written notice to Bank of any application filed by Borrower in the United States Patent Trademark Office for a patent or to register a trademark or service mark within thirty (30) days of any such filing.

8.    RATIFICATION OF PERFECTION CERTIFICATE. Other than with respect to the Purchased Asstes being released herein, Borrower hereby ratifies, confirms and reaffirms, all and singular, the terms and disclosures contained in certain Perfection Certificates, each dated as of February 18, 2010, each as modified by written disclosures made by Borrower to Bank through and including the date hereof, and acknowledges, confirms and agrees the disclosures and information above Borrower provided to Bank in each such Perfection Certificate, as modified through the date hereof, remains true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof.

9.    AUTHORIZATION TO FILE. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file UCC financing statements without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions, as Bank deems appropriate, in order to further perfect or protect Bank’s interest in the Collateral, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either the Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of the Bank under the Code.

10.    CONSISTENT CHANGES. The Existing Loan Documents are hereby amended wherever necessary to reflect the changes described above.

11.    RATIFICATION OF LOAN DOCUMENTS. Borrower hereby ratifies, confirms, and reaffirms all terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement (as modified by this Loan Modification Agreement), and all security or other collateral granted to the Bank, and confirms that the indebtedness secured thereby includes, without limitation, the Obligations.

12.    NO DEFENSES OF BORROWER. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Borrower has no offsets, defenses, claims, or counterclaims against Bank with respect to the Obligations, or otherwise, and that if Borrower now has, or ever did have, any offsets, defenses, claims, or counterclaims against Bank, whether known or unknown, at law or in equity, all of them are hereby expressly WAIVED and Borrower hereby RELEASES Bank from any liability thereunder.

13.    CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Obligations, Bank is relying upon Borrower’s representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Bank’s agreement to modifications to the existing Obligations pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate Bank to make any future modifications to the Obligations. Nothing in this Loan Modification Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Obligations. It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Bank in writing. No maker will be released by virtue of this Loan Modification Agreement.

14.    JURISDICTION/VENUE. Section 11 of the Loan Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

15.    COUNTERSIGNATURE. This Loan Modification Agreement shall become effective only when it shall have been executed by Borrower and Bank.
