following (all of the following items of property collectively will be referred to as the “Intellectual Property Collateral”), whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired: 

 

	 	•	 	 all Patents, Patent Licenses, and Patent applications, including specifically those issued Patents and Patent applications listed on the attached
Schedule A, together with any reissues, divisions, continuations, renewals, extensions and continuations thereof; 

  

	 	•	 	 all Trademarks, Trademark Licenses, and Trademark applications, including specifically those Trademark registrations and Trademark applications listed

 2. LOAN AGREEMENT 
 This security interest is granted to secure the Secured Obligations, under the Loan Agreement. All the capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined are used in this Agreement with the same meaning as
defined in the Loan Agreement. 
 3. OUR RIGHT TO SUE 
 From and after an Event of Default, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, We shall have the right, but shall in no way be obligated, to bring suit in Our own name to enforce Your rights in the
Intellectual Property Collateral. If We commence any such suit, You shall, at Our request, do all lawful acts and execute and deliver all proper documents or information that may be necessary or desirable to aid Us in such enforcement. You shall
promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify Us for all of Our costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, related to Our exercise of the above mentioned rights. 
 4. FURTHER ASSURANCES 
 You will from time to time execute, deliver and file, alone or with
Us, any security agreements, or other documents to perfect and give priority to Our lien on the Intellectual Property Collateral. You will from time to time obtain any instruments or documents as We may request, and take all further action that may
be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that We may reasonably request, to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement or any other related agreements or to confirm, perfect, preserve and protect the liens granted to
Us.

modification by amending Schedules A, B, and C to this Agreement, as appropriate, solely to the extent necessary to include an accurate and correct reference to any right, title or interest in any Intellectual Property Collateral acquired by You
before or after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Intellectual Property Collateral in which You no longer have or claim to have any right, title or interest, which amendment shall become effective
upon delivery to You of a written copy of such modified Schedule. We may exercise such right only until all of the Secured Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Our obligation to provide credit extensions to You is terminated.
