|
|

|
|
|
(b) the

which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the
validity or
|
|
|
enforceability of such trademark under
applicable federal law), together with the goodwill symbolized
thereby (the “Trademarks”);
|
|
|
(c) all
copyrights, whether registered or unregistered, now owned or
hereafter acquired by such Grantor, including, without limitation,

or breach with respect to any of the foregoing, with the right, but
not the obligation, to sue for and collect, or otherwise recover,
such damages; and
|
|
|
(f) any and
all proceeds of, collateral for, income, royalties and other
payments now or hereafter due and payable with respect to, and
supporting obligations relating to, any and all of the Collateral
of or arising from any of the foregoing.
|
SECTION
2. Security for Obligations . The
grant of a security interest in, the Collateral by each Grantor
under this IP Security Agreement secures the payment of all Secured
Obligations of such Grantor now or hereafter existing under or in
respect of the Loan Documents. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, this IP Security Agreement secures, as
to each Grantor, the payment of all amounts that constitute part of
the Secured Obligations and that would be owed by such Grantor to
any Secured Party under the Loan Documents but for the fact that

IP Security Agreement has been entered into in conjunction with the
provisions of the Security Agreement. Each Grantor does
hereby acknowledge and confirm that the grant of the security
interest hereunder to, and the rights and remedies of, the

set forth in the Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of
which are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth
herein.

construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New
York.
Reference is made to the Lien Subordination and
Intercreditor Agreement dated as of June 9, 2008, among General
Electric Capital Corporation, as Collateral Agent for the Revolving
Facility Secured Parties referred to therein, U.S. Bank National
Association, as Trustee and as Noteholder Collateral Agent, Ply Gem
