The Lender has agreed, among other things, to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Grantor pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Loan Agreement. The obligations of the Lender to make Revolving Credit Loans are each conditioned upon, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Grantor of an agreement in the form hereof to secure the Liabilities.
Accordingly, the Grantor and the Lender (and each of their respective successors or assigns), hereby agree as follows:

2. Grant of Security Interest: In furtherance and as confirmation of the security interest granted by the Grantor to the Lender under the Loan Agreement, and as further security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full of the Liabilities, Grantor hereby ratifies such security interest and grants to the Lender a continuing security interest, with a power of sale (which power of sale shall be exercisable only following the occurrence of an Event of Default), in all of the present and future right, title and interest of the Grantor in and to the following property, and each item thereof, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, together with all products, proceeds, substitutions, and accessions of or to any of the following property (collectively, the “IP Collateral”):
3. Protection of Intellectual Property By Grantors: Except as set forth below in this Section 3, the Grantor shall undertake the following with respect to each of the items respectively described in Sections 2(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”):
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no Material Adverse Change would result therefrom, Grantor shall not have an obligation to use or to maintain any Intellectual Property (i) that relates solely to any product that has been discontinued, abandoned or terminated, (ii) that is not necessary, in the reasonable business judgment of the Grantor, for the conduct of the business of the Grantor from time to time or (iii) that has been replaced with Intellectual Property substantially similar to the Intellectual Property that may be abandoned or otherwise become invalid, so long as the failure to use or maintain such Intellectual Property does not materially adversely affect the validity of such replacement Intellectual Property and so long as such replacement Intellectual Property is subject to the lien created by this Agreement.
4. Grantor’s Representations and Warranties: The Grantor represents and warrants that, except as disclosed in or pursuant to the Loan Agreement:
6. Grantor’s Rights To Enforce Intellectual Property: Prior to the Lender’s giving of notice to the Grantor following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Grantor shall have the exclusive right to sue for past, present and future infringement of the Intellectual Property including the right to seek injunctions and/or money damages, in an effort by the Borrowers to protect the Intellectual Property against encroachment by third parties, provided, however:
the Lender, acting in its own name or in that of the Grantor, may (but shall not be required to) act in the Grantor’s place and stead and/or in the Lender’s own right in connection therewith.
8. Rights Upon Default: Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, with respect to the
Intellectual Property, in addition to which, in connection with the exercise of any such rights and remedies, the Lender may sell, license, assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the Intellectual Property. The Lender shall give the Grantor at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice, by authenticated record, of any such intended disposition of the Intellectual Property. Any person may conclusively rely upon an affidavit of an officer of the Lender that an Event of Default has occurred and that the Lender is authorized to exercise such rights and remedies.
11. Intent: This Agreement is being executed and delivered by the Grantor for the purpose of registering and confirming the grant of the security interest of the Lender in the IP Collateral with the PTO and the Copyright Office. It is intended that the security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement is granted as a supplement to, and not in limitation of, the security interest granted to the Lender under the Loan Agreement. All provisions of the Loan Agreement shall apply to the IP Collateral. The Lender shall have the same rights, remedies, powers, privileges and discretions with respect to the security interests created in the IP Collateral as in all other Collateral. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Loan Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control with respect to the IP Collateral and the Loan Agreement with respect to all other Collateral.
12. Choice of Laws: It is intended that this Agreement take effect as a sealed instrument and that all rights and obligations hereunder, including matters of construction, validity, and performance, shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
