After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after the expiration of any applicable cure period, the Assignment shall take effect immediately upon certification of such fact by an authorized officer of Agent in the form attached as Exhibit A and upon written notice to Pledgor and thereafter Agent may, in its sole discretion, record the Assignment with the PTO. The provisions of this paragraph (a) shall not limit or contradict the provisions of the following paragraph (b) or any of the rights and remedies of Agent described therein.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent may sell at public or private sale, in a commercially reasonable manner, or otherwise realize upon all or, from time to time, any of the IP Collateral, together with the associated goodwill, or any interest that Pledgor may have therein, and, after deducting from the proceeds of sale or other disposition of the IP Collateral all reasonable expenses (including all expenses for attorneys’ and brokers’ fees and other legal services), Agent shall apply such proceeds against payment of the Debt in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

9.    Maintaining IP Collateral, Attorneys’ Fees, Costs and Expenses. Pledgor shall have the obligation and duty to perform all acts reasonably necessary to maintain or preserve the IP Collateral to the extent such IP Collateral is material in value or used in the ordinary course of business by Pledgor.

10.   Pledgor’s Obligations to Prosecute. Except as otherwise agreed to by Agent in writing, Pledgor shall have the duty to prosecute diligently any patent application or trademark application pending as of the date of this Agreement or thereafter until the Debt shall have been paid in full, and to do any and all acts that are reasonably necessary or desirable to preserve and maintain all rights in the IP Collateral that are material and used in the ordinary course of business by Pledgor, including, but not limited to, payment of any maintenance fees. Any expenses incurred by Agent in connection with the IP Collateral shall be borne by Pledgor. Pledgor shall not abandon any IP Collateral without the prior written consent of Agent.

11.   Agent’s Rights to Enforce. Pledgor shall have the right but not the obligation to bring any opposition proceedings, cancellation proceedings or lawsuit in its own name to enforce or protect the IP Collateral. Agent and Lenders shall have the right, but shall have no obligation, to join in any such action during the existence of an Event of Default. Pledgor shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) days of demand, reimburse and indemnify Agent and Lenders for all damages, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees incurred by Agent in connection with the provisions of this Section 11, in the event Agent and Lenders elect to join in any such action commenced by Pledgor.

12.   Power of Attorney. Pledgor hereby authorizes and empowers Agent, on behalf of Lenders, to make, constitute and appoint any officer or agent of Agent as Agent may select, in its exclusive discretion, as Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with the power to endorse Pledgor’s name on all applications, documents, papers and instruments reasonably necessary for Agent to use the IP Collateral, or to grant or issue any exclusive or nonexclusive license under the IP Collateral to any third party, or reasonably necessary for Agent to assign, pledge, convey or otherwise transfer title in or dispose of the IP Collateral, together with associated goodwill to a third party or parties, including the power to execute in the name of Pledgor and deliver to the PTO for recording instruments of assignment and/or transfer for all or any part of the IP Collateral naming as assignee or transferee either Agent or any party that may purchase all or any part of the IP Collateral at any public or private sale conducted by Agent as a secured creditor. Pledgor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable for the life of this Agreement, but shall terminate immediately and without further action of the parties upon payment in full of the Debt and termination of the Credit Agreement.

13.   Agent’s Right to Perform Obligations. If Pledgor materially fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement, Agent, on behalf of Lenders, may after notice to Pledgor, but is not obligated to, do so in Pledgor’s name or in Agent’s name, but at Pledgor’s expense, and Pledgor hereby agrees to reimburse Agent on demand in full for all expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Agent in protecting, defending and maintaining the IP Collateral.

14.   Additional Documents. Pledgor shall, upon written request of Agent, enter into such additional documents or instruments as may be reasonably required by Agent in order to effectuate, evidence or perfect Agent’s interests in the IP Collateral as evidenced by this Agreement.

15.   New IP Collateral.

16.   Modification for New IP Collateral. Pledgor hereby authorizes Agent to modify this Agreement by amending Schedules A, B and/or C to include any future IP Collateral as contemplated by Sections 2 and 15 hereof and, at Agent’s request, Pledgor shall execute any documents or instruments reasonably required by Agent in order to modify this Agreement as provided in this Section 16, provided that any such modification to Schedules A, B and/or C shall be effective without the signature of Pledgor. Pledgor hereby acknowledges that Agent may refile or re-record this Agreement with the PTO, together with any such modification to Schedules A, B and/or C.

17.    No Waiver. No course of dealing between Pledgor and Agent and Lenders, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Agent or Lenders, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any of the Related Writings 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.

18.    Remedies Cumulative. All of the rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders with respect to the IP Collateral, whether established hereby or by the Related Writings, or by any other agreements or by law shall be cumulative and may be executed singularly or concurrently.

19.   Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and, if any clause or provision shall be held 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 Agreement in any jurisdiction.

20.   Modifications. Except as provided in Section 16 hereof, this Agreement may be amended or modified only by a writing signed by Pledgor and Agent, on behalf of Lenders. In the event that any provision herein is deemed to be inconsistent with any provision of any other document, other than the Credit Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

21.   Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties, except that Pledgor may not assign any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of Agent.

22.    Notice. All notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be given to or made upon Pledgor or Agent as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of Section 11.4 of the Credit Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the amount of the Debt for purposes of this Agreement, nor Pledgor’s obligations under this Agreement, nor the security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement shall be diminished or impaired by:

(a)    the granting by Agent or any Lender of any credit to any Obligor, whether or not liability therefor constitutes Debt, or any failure or refusal of Agent or any Lender to grant any other credit to any Obligor even if Agent or such Lender thereby breaches any duty or commitment to Pledgor or any other Person,

(e)     any acceptance of security for or any other Obligor on the Debt or any part thereof, or any release of any security or other Obligor (or compromise or settlement of the liability of any Obligor for the Debt), whether or not Agent or any Lender receives consideration for the release, compromise or settlement,

(f)     any discharge of the Debt in whole or in part under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or otherwise,

(g)     the failure of Agent or any Lender to make any presentment or demand for payment, to assert or perfect any claim, demand, Lien or interest, or to enforce any right or remedy, or any delay or neglect by Agent or any Lender in respect of the Debt or any part thereof or any security therefor,

(h)    any failure to give Pledgor notice of (i) the making of any loan or other credit extension or the terms, conditions, and other provisions applicable thereto, (ii) any dishonor by Pledgor or any other Obligor, or (iii) the inaccuracy or incompleteness of any representation, warranty, or other statement made by any Obligor, or

(i)     any defense that may now or hereafter be available to any Obligor, whether based on suretyship, impairment of IP Collateral, accord and satisfaction, breach of warranty, breach of contract, failure of consideration, tort, lack of capacity, usury, or otherwise, or any illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of the Debt or any part thereof or of any Related Writing.

26.    No Setoff; Rights Against Other Obligors. Pledgor hereby (a) waives all now existing or hereafter arising rights to recoup or offset any obligation of Pledgor under this Agreement against any claim or right of Pledgor against Agent or any Lender, (b) waives all rights of exoneration now or hereafter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, and (c) agrees that unless and until all of the Debt shall have been paid in full, Pledgor will not assert against any other Obligor or any other Obligor’s property any rights (including, without limitation, contribution, indemnification, reimbursement, and subrogation) now or hereafter arising (whether by contract, operation of law, or otherwise) out of or in connection with this Agreement.
