PATENT SECURITY AGREEMENT

This PATENT SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of April 25, 2019 (this “Agreement”), is made by the signatory hereto indicated as a “Grantor” (the “Grantor”) in favor of U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Collateral Agent for the Priority Lien Secured Parties (in such capacity and, together with its permitted successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”).

WHEREAS, the Grantor entered into a Collateral Agreement dated as of April 25, 2019 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Collateral Agreement”) among the Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the other persons party thereto, pursuant to which the Grantor granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Priority Lien Secured Parties, a security interest in the Patent Collateral (as defined below); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Collateral Agreement, Grantor agreed to execute this Agreement, in order to record the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Priority Lien Secured Parties with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Grantor hereby agrees with the Collateral Agent as follows:

SECTION. 1. Defined Terms

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given thereto in the Collateral Agreement, and if not defined therein, shall have the respective meanings given thereto in the Collateral Agency Agreement referred to therein.

SECTION 2. Notice and Confirmation of Grant of Security Interest.

Grantor hereby confirms the grant in the Collateral Agreement to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Priority Lien Secured Parties, of a security interest in, all of the following property, in each case, wherever located and now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by Grantor or in which Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest (collectively, the “Patent Collateral”) as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of Grantor’s Priority Lien Obligations:

All of Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to all patentable inventions and designs, all United States, foreign, and multinational patents, certificates of invention, and similar industrial property rights, and applications for any of the foregoing, including without limitation: (i) each patent and patent application listed in Schedule A attached hereto (ii) all reissues, substitutes, divisions, continuations, continuations-in-part, extensions, renewals, and reexaminations thereof, (iii) all inventions and improvements described and claimed therein, (iv) all rights to sue or otherwise recover for any past, present and future infringement or other violation thereof, (v) all Proceeds of the foregoing, including, without limitation, license fees, royalties, income, payments, claims, damages, and proceeds of suit now or hereafter due and/or payable with respect thereto, income, royalties, damages and other payments now and hereafter due and/or payable with respect thereto, and (vi) all other patent rights accruing thereunder or pertaining thereto throughout the world.

SECTION 3. Collateral Agreement and Collateral Agency Agreement

The security interest confirmed pursuant to this Agreement is confirmed in conjunction with the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent for the Priority Lien Secured Parties pursuant to the Collateral Agreement, and the Grantor hereby acknowledges and affirms that the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to the security interest in the Patent Collateral made and granted hereby are more fully set forth in the Collateral Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth herein. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed to conflict with the Collateral Agreement, the Collateral Agency Agreement or the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of the Collateral Agreement, the Collateral Agency Agreement or the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, shall control.

SECTION 4. Governing Law

THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF A DIFFERENT GOVERNING LAW (OTHER THAN ANY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE UCC RELATING TO THE LAW GOVERNING PERFECTION AND EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR PRIORITY OF THE SECURITY INTERESTS).

SECTION 5. Counterparts
