As used in this Assignment, the following terms shall have the meanings respectively set forth after each:

“Secured Party” means the Administrative Agent who shall receive and hold the assignments made hereunder for the ratable benefit of each of the Lenders which are parties to the Credit Agreement from time to time. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, any right, remedy, privilege, or power of Secured Party shall be exercised by the Administrative Agent.

2.Assignment. For valuable consideration, Grantors and each of them hereby jointly and severally grant and assign to Secured Party a security interest, to secure the prompt and indefeasible payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, and each of them, in and to all of the presently existing and hereafter acquired Collateral. This Assignment is a continuing and irrevocable agreement and all the rights, powers, privileges and remedies hereunder shall apply to any and all Secured Obligations, including those arising under successive transactions which shall either continue the Secured Obligations, increase or decrease them and notwithstanding the bankruptcy of any Grantor or any other event or proceeding affecting any Grantor.

3.Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Grantors, and each of them, represent, warrant and agree that:

(a) All of the existing Collateral is valid and subsisting and in full force and effect, and Grantors own the sole, full, and clear title thereto, and the right and power to grant the security interests granted hereunder. Grantors will, at their expense, perform all acts and execute all documents necessary to maintain the existence of the Collateral as valid, subsisting, and registered trademarks, including, without limitation, the filing of any renewal affidavits and applications. The Collateral is not subject to any Liens, claims, mortgages, assignments or licenses of any nature whatsoever, whether recorded or unrecorded, except as permitted by the Credit Agreement.

(b) As of the date hereof, none of Grantors or their Subsidiaries has any Trademarks registered, or subject to pending applications, in the USPTO, or any similar office or agency in the United States, other than those described in Schedule 1.

(c) No Grantor nor any Subsidiary of any Grantor shall file any application for the registration of a trademark with the USPTO or any similar office or agency in the United States, or State therein, unless such Grantor or Subsidiary has informed Secured Party of such action in advance or informs Secured Party promptly thereafter. Upon request of Secured Party, Grantors shall execute and deliver to Secured Party any and all agreements, instruments, documents, and such other papers as may be reasonably requested by Secured Party to evidence the grant and assignment of a security interest to Secured Party of such trademark. Each Grantor authorizes Secured Party to modify this Assignment by amending Schedule 1 to include any new trademark or service mark, and any trademark or service mark renewal of any Grantor applied for and obtained hereafter.

(d) No Grantor nor any Subsidiary of any Grantor has abandoned any of the Trademarks, and no Grantor nor any Subsidiary of any Grantor will do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby the Trademarks may become abandoned, canceled, invalidated, unenforceable, avoided, or avoidable, except as to Trademarks any Grantor reasonably determines not to be material to the operation of its business; provided that no Grantor nor any Subsidiary of any Grantor shall do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any of the Trademarks listed in Section 5.08 of the Credit Agreement may become abandoned, canceled, invalidated, unenforceable, avoided, or avoidable. Each Grantor shall notify Secured Party promptly if it knows, or has reason to know, of any reason why any application, registration, or recording may become abandoned, canceled, invalidated, or unenforceable.

(e) Grantors will render any assistance, as Secured Party may reasonably determine is necessary, to Secured Party in any proceeding before the USPTO, any federal or state court, or any similar office or agency in the United States, or any State therein, to protect Secured Party’s security interest in the Trademarks.

(f) Grantors assume all responsibility and liability arising from the use of the Trademarks, and each Grantor hereby indemnifies and holds the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any claim, suit, loss, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any alleged defect in any product manufactured, promoted, or sold by any Grantor (or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof) in connection with any Trademark or out of the manufacture, promotion, labeling, sale, or advertisement of any such product by any Grantor or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof.

(g) Grantors shall promptly notify Secured Party in writing of any adverse determination in any proceeding in the USPTO or domestic Governmental Agency, court or body, regarding any Grantor’s ownership of any of the Trademarks. In the event of any material infringement of any of the Trademarks by a third party, Grantors shall promptly notify Secured Party of such infringement and shall diligently pursue damages or an injunction for such infringement.

(h) Each Grantor shall, at its sole expense, do, make, execute and deliver all such additional and further acts, things, assurances, and instruments, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party, relating to the creation, validity, or perfection of the security interests provided for in this Assignment under 35 U.S.C. Section 261, 15 U.S.C. Section 1051 et seq., the Uniform Commercial Code or other Law of the United States, the State of California, or of any other States as Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request, and shall take all such other action as the Secured Party may reasonably require to more completely vest in and assure to Secured Party its security interest in any of the Collateral, and each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes Secured Party or its designee, at such Grantor’s expense, to execute such documents, and file such financing statements with respect thereto with or without such Grantor’s signature, as Secured Party may reasonably deem appropriate. In the event that any recording or refiling (or the filing of any statement of continuation or assignment of any financing statement) or any other action, is required at any time to protect and preserve such security interest, Grantors shall, at their sole cost and expense, cause the same to be done or taken at such time and in such manner as may be necessary and as may be reasonably requested by Secured Party. Each Grantor further authorizes Secured Party to have this or any other similar security agreement recorded or filed with the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks or other appropriate federal, state or government office.

(i) Secured Party is hereby irrevocably appointed by each Grantor as its lawful attorney and agent, with full power of substitution to execute and deliver on behalf of and in the name of any or all Grantors, such financing statements and other documents and agreements, and to take such other action as Secured Party may deem necessary for the purpose of perfecting, protecting or effecting the security interests granted herein and effected hereby, and any mortgages or Liens necessary or desirable to implement or effectuate the same, under any applicable Law, and Secured Party is hereby authorized to file on behalf of and in the name of any or all Grantors, at Grantors’ sole expense, such financing statements, documents and agreements in any appropriate governmental office.

(j) Secured Party may, in its sole discretion, pay any amount, or do any act which Grantors fail to pay or do as reasonably required hereunder to preserve, defend, protect, maintain, record, amend, or enforce the Secured Obligations, the Collateral, or the security interest granted hereunder, including, but not limited to, all filing or recording fees, court costs, collection charges, and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Grantors will be liable to Secured Party for any such payment, and any amount so paid shall be an expense reimbursable by Borrower under Section 10.4 of the Credit Agreement (or, in the proper case, by each other Grantor under the expense provisions of its Guaranty).

4.Events of Default. Any “Event of Default” as defined in the Credit Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

5.Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any such Event of Default, in addition to all other rights and remedies of Secured Party, whether provided under Law, the Credit Agreement or otherwise, Secured Party may enforce its security interest hereunder which may be exercised without notice to, or consent by, any Grantor, except as such notice or consent is expressly provided for hereunder. Upon such enforcement:

(a) Secured Party may use any of the Trademarks for the sale of goods, completion of work in process, or rendering of services in connection with enforcing any security interest granted to Secured Party by Grantors or any Subsidiary of any Grantor.

(b) Secured Party may grant such license or licenses relating to the Collateral for such term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner, as Secured Party shall, in its sole discretion, deem appropriate. Such license or licenses may be general, special, or otherwise, and may be granted on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis throughout all or part of the United States of America and its territories and possessions.

(c) Secured Party may assign, sell, or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, either with or without special conditions or stipulations, except that Secured Party agrees to provide Grantors with ten (10) days’ prior written notice of any proposed disposition of the Collateral. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Borrower as its agent for the purpose of receiving notice of sale hereunder, and agrees that such Grantor conclusively shall be deemed to have received notice of sale when notice of sale has been given to Borrower. Each Grantor expressly waives any right to receive notice of any public or private sale of any Collateral or other security for the Secured Obligations except as expressly provided in this Section 5(c). Secured Party shall have the power to buy the Collateral, or any part thereof, and Secured Party shall also have the power to execute assurances and perform all other acts which Secured Party may, in Secured Party’s sole discretion, deem appropriate or proper to complete such assignment, sale, or disposition. In any such event, Grantors shall be liable for any deficiency.

(d) In addition to the foregoing, in order to implement the assignment, sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral pursuant to Section 5(c) hereof, Secured Party may, at any time, execute and deliver, on behalf of Grantors, and each of them, pursuant to the authority granted in powers of attorney, one or more instruments of assignment of the Trademarks (or any application, registration, or recording relating thereto), in form suitable for filing, recording, or registration. Grantors agree to pay Secured Party, on demand, all costs incurred in any such transfer of the Collateral, including, but not limited to any taxes, fees, and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

(e) Secured Party may first apply the proceeds actually received from any such use, license, assignment, sale, or other disposition of Collateral first to the reasonable costs and expenses thereof, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and all legal, travel, and other expenses which may be incurred by Secured Party. Thereafter, Secured Party may apply any remaining proceeds to such of the Secured Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement. Grantors shall remain liable to Secured Party for any expenses or Secured Obligations remaining unpaid after the application of such proceeds, and Grantors will pay Secured Party, on demand, any such unpaid amount, together with interest at the Base Rate or, if applicable, the Default Rate set forth in the Credit Agreement.

(f) Upon request of Secured Party, Grantors shall supply to Secured Party, or Secured Party’s designee, Grantors’ knowledge and expertise relating to the manufacture and sale of the products and services bearing the Trademarks and Grantors’ customer lists and other records relating to the Trademarks and the distribution hereof.

Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring Secured Party to take any such action at any time. All of Secured Party’s rights and remedies, whether provided under Law, the Credit Agreement, this Assignment, or otherwise shall be cumulative, and none is exclusive of any right or remedy otherwise provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, at law or in equity. Such rights and remedies may be enforced alternatively, successively, or concurrently.

Secured Party or Designee will keep such confidential information, lists or records provided hereunder in confidence in accordance with Section 10.08 of the Credit Agreement.

6.Waivers.

(a) Each Grantor hereby waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing, if any, in advance of the enforcement of any of Secured Party’s rights hereunder, including, without limitation, its rights following any Event of Default and during the continuance thereof to take immediate possession of the Collateral and exercise its rights with respect thereto.

(b) Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future security for (including, but not limited to, this Assignment and the Collateral subject to a security interest hereunder), or guaranties of, the Secured Obligations or any of them, or to resort to such security or guaranties in any particular order. Each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any Law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Secured Party’s rights under this Assignment or any other instrument evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or by which any of such Secured Obligations is secured or guaranteed, and each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such Laws.

(c) Except for notices specifically provided for herein, each Grantor hereby expressly waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Assignment, notice of loans made, credit extended, collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description.

Secured Party shall have no duty as to the protection of the Collateral or any income thereon, nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto except as otherwise required by Law. Secured Party may exercise its rights with respect to the Collateral without resorting or regard to other collateral or sources of reimbursement for liability. Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights upon or under the Credit Agreement or the Collateral unless such waiver be in writing and signed by the Secured Party. The exercise of the rights under this Assignment are not intended by the parties to constitute an “action” within the meaning of Sections 580a, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. No delay or omission on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of any right on any future occasion. All rights and remedies of the Secured Party under the Credit Agreement or on the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.

7.Costs and Expenses. Grantors will pay any and all charges, costs and taxes incurred in implementing or subsequently amending this Assignment, including, without limitation, recording and filing fees, appraisal fees, stamp taxes, and reasonable fees and disbursements of Secured Party’s counsel incurred by Secured Party, and the allocated cost of in-house counsel to Secured Party, in connection with this Assignment, and in the enforcement of this Assignment and in the enforcement or foreclosure of any Liens, security interests or other rights of the Secured Party under this Assignment, or under any other documentation heretofore, now, or hereafter given to Secured Party in furtherance of the transactions contemplated hereby.

8.Continuing Effect. This Assignment 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 creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets.

10. Release of Grantors. This Assignment and all Secured Obligations of Grantors hereunder shall be released when all Secured Obligations have been paid in full in cash or otherwise performed in full and when no portion of the Commitments remain outstanding. Upon such release of Grantors’ Secured Obligations hereunder, Secured Party shall return and reassign any Collateral to Grantors, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and shall endorse, execute, deliver, record and file all instruments and documents, and do all other acts and things, reasonably required for the return of the Collateral to Grantors, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and to evidence or document the release of Secured Party’s interests arising under this Assignment, all as reasonably requested by, and at the reasonable expense of, Grantors.

11. Additional Powers and Authorization. Secured Party shall be entitled to the benefits accruing to it as Administrative Agent under the Loan Assignment and the other Loan Documents.
