5.2. Amendment to Schedule. The Pledgor authorizes the Lender to modify this Patent Security Agreement, without the necessity of the Pledgor’s further approval or signature, by amending Schedule A hereto to include any future or other Patents or Patent Rights under §2 or §5 hereof.
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then upon notice by the Lender to the Pledgor: the Lender shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies given it by this Patent Security Agreement and the Loan Agreement, those allowed by law and the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of Delaware or Massachusetts, as applicable, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to applicable law, the Lender may immediately, without demand of performance and without other notice (except as set forth next below) or demand whatsoever to the Pledgor, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and without advertisement, sell or license at public or private sale or otherwise realize upon the whole or from time to time any part of the Patent Collateral, or any interest which the Pledgor may have therein, and after deducting from the proceeds of sale or other disposition of the Patent Collateral all expenses (including all reasonable expenses for broker’s fees and legal services), shall apply the residue of such proceeds toward the payment of the Loans as set forth in the Loan Agreement. Notice of any sale, license or other disposition of any of the Patent Collateral shall be given to the Pledgor at least five (5) Business Days before the time that any intended public sale or other disposition of such Patent Collateral is to be made or after which any private sale or other disposition of such Patent Collateral may be made, which the Pledgor hereby agrees shall be reasonable notice of such public or private sale or other disposition. At any such sale or other disposition, the Lender may, to the extent permitted under applicable law, purchase or license the whole or any part of the Patent Collateral or interests therein sold, licensed or otherwise disposed of.
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Pledgor does hereby make, constitute and appoint the Lender (and any officer or agent of the Lender as the Lender may select in its exclusive discretion) as the Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with the power to endorse the Pledgor’s name on all applications, documents, papers and instruments necessary for the Lender to use any of the Patent Collateral, to practice, make, use or sell the inventions disclosed or claimed in any of the Patent Collateral, to grant or issue any exclusive or nonexclusive license of any of the Patent Collateral to any third person, or necessary for the Lender to assign, pledge, convey or otherwise transfer title in or dispose of the Patent Collateral or any part thereof or interest therein to any third person, and, in general, to execute and deliver any instruments or documents and do all other acts which the Pledgor is obligated to execute and do hereunder. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable for the duration of this Patent Security Agreement.
The Pledgor shall, at any time and from time to time, and at its expense, make, execute, acknowledge and deliver, and file and record as necessary or appropriate with governmental or regulatory authorities, agencies or offices, such agreements, assignments, documents and instruments, and do such other and further acts and things (including, without limitation, obtaining consents of third parties), as the Lender may reasonably request or as may be necessary in order to implement the provisions of this Patent Security Agreement or to assure and confirm to the Lender the grant, perfection and priority of the Lender’s security interest in any of the Patent Collateral.
At such time as all of the Loans have been finally paid and satisfied in full, this Patent Security Agreement shall terminate and the Lender shall, promptly and in any event within five (5) business days of request from Pledgor, execute and deliver to the Pledgor, at the expense of the Pledgor, all deeds,
assignments and other instruments as may be necessary or proper to reassign and reconvey to and re-vest in the Pledgor the entire right, title and interest to the Patent Collateral previously granted, assigned, transferred and conveyed to the Lender by the Pledgor pursuant to this Patent Security Agreement, as fully as if this Patent Security Agreement had not been made, subject to any disposition of all or any part thereof which may have been made by the Lender in accordance herewith.
10. COURSE OF DEALING.
No course of dealing among the Pledgor and the Lender, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Loan Agreement 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.
Any and all fees, costs and expenses, of whatever kind or nature, including the reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, incurred by the Lender in its capacity as secured party in connection with the payment or discharge of any taxes, counsel fees, maintenance fees, encumbrances or otherwise protecting, maintaining or preserving any of the Patent Collateral, or in defending or prosecuting any actions or proceedings arising out of or related to any of the Patent Collateral, shall be borne and paid by the Pledgor.
THE PLEDGOR SHALL INDEMNIFY THE LENDER FOR ANY AND ALL COSTS, EXPENSES, DAMAGES AND CLAIMS, INCLUDING LEGAL FEES (“LOSSES”). INCURRED BY THE LENDER IN ITS CAPACITY AS SECURED PARTY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR CLAIMS BROUGHT BY THIRD PARTIES REGARDING THE PLEDGOR’S OWNERSHIP OR PURPORTED OWNERSHIP OF, OR RIGHTS OR PURPORTED RIGHTS ARISING FROM, ANY OF THE PATENT COLLATERAL OR ANY PRACTICE, USE, LICENSE OR SUBLICENSE THEREOF, OR ANY PRACTICE, MANUFACTURE, USE OR SALE OF ANY OF THE INVENTIONS DISCLOSED OR CLAIMED THEREIN, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF ANY PAST, CURRENT OR FUTURE EVENT, CIRCUMSTANCE, ACT OR OMISSION OR OTHERWISE.
13. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.
All of the Lender’s rights and remedies with respect to Events of Default relating to the Patent Collateral, whether established hereby or by the Loan Agreement or by any other agreements or by law, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. This Patent Security Agreement is supplemental to the Loan Agreement, and nothing contained herein shall in any way derogate from any of the rights or remedies of the Lender contained therein. Nothing contained in this Patent Security Agreement shall be deemed to extend the time of attachment or perfection of or otherwise impair the security interest in any of the Patent Collateral granted to the Lender under the Loan Agreement.
All notices and other communications made or required to be given pursuant to this Patent Security Agreement shall be made as set forth in Section 10.1 of the Loan Agreement.
This Patent Security Agreement is subject to modification only by a writing signed by the Lender and the Pledgor, except as provided in §5.2. Neither party shall be deemed to have waived any right hereunder unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by it. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right on any future occasion.
THIS PATENT SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.
The headings of each section of this Patent Security Agreement are for convenience only and shall not define or limit the provisions thereof. This Patent Security Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon the Pledgor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns. In the event of any irreconcilable conflict between the provisions of this Patent Security Agreement and the Loan Agreement, the provisions of the Loan Agreement shall control. If any term of this Patent Security Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of all other terms hereof shall in no way be affected thereby, and this Patent Security Agreement shall be construed and be enforceable as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term had not been included herein.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Patent Security Agreement has been executed as of the day and year first above written.
