          (i) Grantor shall make application to (i) the Patent and Trademark Office to register any unpatented but patentable inventions developed by Grantor or its employees or consultants (within the scope of their employment or consulting relationship), unless Grantor, in the exercise of its prudent business judgment, deems any such Patent not to have any significant commercial value or determines that its rights thereunder are better preserved as a Trade Secret, (ii) the Patent and Trademark Office to register any registerable but unregistered Trademarks used by Grantor in connection with its products or services unless Grantor in the exercise of its prudent business judgment, deems any such Trademark not to have any significant commercial value, and (iii) the Copyright Office to register any unregistered Copyright to which Grantor has rights unless Grantor in the exercise of its prudent business judgment, deems any such Copyright not to have any significant commercial value or determines that its rights thereunder are better protected as a Trade Secret.

Effective as of the Trigger Date, Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact and agrees that Lender may perform (but Lender shall not be obligated to and shall incur no liability to Grantor or any third party for failure so to do) any act which Grantor is obligated by this Security Agreement to perform, and to exercise such rights and powers as Grantor might exercise with respect to the Collateral, including, without limitation, the right to (a) collect by legal proceedings or otherwise and endorse, receive and receipt for all royalties, payments, proceeds and other sums and property now or hereafter payable on or on account of the Collateral; (b) insure, process, preserve and enforce the Collateral; (c) make any compromise or settlement, and take any commercially reasonable action it deems advisable, with respect to the Collateral; (d) pay any indebtedness of Grantor relating to the Collateral; and (e) execute UCC financing statements and other documents, instruments and agreements required hereunder; provided , however , that Lender shall exercise such powers only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.
