(b) In no event shall any Grantor, either directly or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application for the registration of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency without giving Agent prior written notice thereof, and, upon request of Agent, the applicable Grantor shall execute and deliver a supplement hereto (in form and substance satisfactory to Lender) to evidence Agent’s Lien on such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and the General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.
(c) Except for the Trademarks set forth on Schedule IV, with respect to each Patent and Trademark material to the conduct of its business or operations, such Grantor shall take all actions necessary or requested by Agent to maintain and pursue each application, to obtain the relevant registration and to maintain the registration of each of the Patents or Trademarks (now or hereafter existing), including the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of noncontestability and opposition and interference and cancellation proceedings.
(d) In the event that any of the Collateral is infringed upon, or misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall notify Agent promptly after such Grantor learns thereof. Such Grantor shall, unless it shall reasonably determine that such Collateral is in no way material to the conduct of its business or operations, promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and shall take such other actions as Agent shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Collateral.
Section 5. MASTER SECURITY AGREEMENT.

Each Grantor hereby acknowledges and affirms that the rights and remedies of Agent with respect to the security interest in the Collateral made and granted hereby are more fully set forth in the Master Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which relating to the such right and remedies are incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth herein.
Section 6. REINSTATEMENT. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

(B) In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Agent under any Patent License, Trademark License or Copyright License for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of such license, each Grantor will indemnify and keep each Creditor Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the obligee thereunder, arising out of (i) a breach by such Grantor of any obligation thereunder or (ii) any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such obligee or its successors from such Grantor (items (i) and (ii) are referred to collectively as “Affected Obligations”), and all such Affected Obligations of such Grantor shall be and remain enforceable against and only against such Grantor and shall not be enforceable against any Creditor Party.
Section 8. NOTICES. Whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to give and serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner, and deemed received, as provided for in the Purchase Agreement.
Section 9. TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. Subject to Section 6 hereof, this Agreement shall terminate upon payment of the Obligations under the Note in full in immediately available funds.
Section 10. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one instrument. It is understood and agreed that if facsimile copies of this Agreement bearing facsimile signatures are exchanged between the parties hereto, such copies shall in all respects have the same weight, force and legal effect and shall be fully as valid, binding, and enforceable as if such signed facsimile copies were original documents bearing original signature.
