(h)          All licenses or other rights to use any of the Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks, or Mask Works and all license fees and royalties arising from such use to the extent permitted by such license or rights;

(i)          All amendments, extensions, renewals and extensions of any of the Copyrights, Trademarks, Patents, or Mask Works; and

(j)          All proceeds and products of the foregoing, including without limitation all payments under insurance or any indemnity or warranty payable in respect of any of the foregoing.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Intellectual Property Collateral does not include any “intent to use” trademark at all times prior to the first use thereof, whether by the actual use thereof in commerce, the recording of a statement of use with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or otherwise, provided, that upon submission and acceptance by the United States Patent and Trademark Office of an amendment to allege use of an intent-to-use trademark application pursuant to 15 U.S.C. Section 1060(a) (or any successor provision) such intent-to-use application shall constitute Intellectual Property Collateral.

This security interest is granted in conjunction with the security interest granted to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, under the Credit Agreement.  The rights and remedies of Agent with respect to the security interest granted hereby are in addition to those set forth in the Credit Agreement and the other Financing Documents, and those which are now or hereafter available to Agent as a matter of law or equity.  Each right, power and remedy of Agent provided for herein or in the Credit Agreement or any of the Financing Documents, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every right, power or remedy provided for herein and the exercise by Agent of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Intellectual Property Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by any person, including Agent, of any or all other rights, powers or remedies.

          THIS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SECURITY AGREEMENT AND ALL DISPUTES AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO OR ARISING THEREFROM (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW, TORT LAW OR OTHERWISE), SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE
