Each Grantor is a Borrower, an Affiliate of a Borrower, or the Parent, and is willing to execute and deliver this Agreement as a condition precedent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings specified in the Purchase Agreement or the Security Agreement, as applicable. The rules of construction specified in Section 1 of the Security Agreement also apply to this Agreement.

2.Grant of Security Interest. As security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full of the Secured Obligations, each Grantor hereby grants to the Secured Party (for itself and for the benefit of the Purchasers) a lien and security interest (the “Security Interest”) in all of each such Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the patents and patent applications now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Grantor, including without limitation those patents and patent applications listed on Schedule I attached hereto and made a part hereof, and (a) the reissues, divisions, continuations, renewals, extensions and continuations-in-part thereof, (b) all income, royalties, damages and payments now and hereafter due and/or payable under and with respect thereto, including, without limitation, damages and payments for past or future infringements thereof, (c) the right to sue for past, present and future infringements thereof, and (d) any rights corresponding thereto throughout the world (all of the foregoing patents and applications, together with the items described in clauses (a) – (d), are hereinafter individually and/or collectively referred to as the “Patent Collateral”).

3.Security Agreement. The Security Interest granted to the Secured Party herein is granted in furtherance, and not in limitation, of the security interests granted to the Secured Party

pursuant to the Security Agreement. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges and affirms that the rights and remedies of the Secured Party with respect to the Patent Collateral are more fully set forth in the Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Security Agreement, the terms of the Security Agreement shall govern.

5.Governing Law. This Agreement and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether sounding in contract, tort, or statute, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

6.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.
