          (d) To the knowledge of Grantor, each of the Patents is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Collateral has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been made that any part of the Collateral violates the rights of any third party;

          (e) Grantor shall deliver to Secured Party within thirty (30) days of the last day of each fiscal quarter, a report signed by Grantor, in form reasonably acceptable to Secured Party, listing any applications or registrations that Grantor has made or filed in respect of any patents, copyrights or trademarks and the status of any outstanding applications or registrations.
