THIRD PARTY
SECURITY AGREEMENT
InterActual Technologies, Inc.
 
This Third Party Security Agreement (this "Agreement") is made and entered into as of September 28, 2007 by and between the undersigned INTERACTUAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a California corporation ("Grantor"), and UNION BANK OF CALIFORNIA, N.A. (the "Bank").
 
RECITALS
 
Bank has entered into a transaction, and proposes to enter into further transactions, with SONIC SOLUTIONS, a California corporation ("Borrower"), which is the parent company of Grantor, pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 13, 2004, as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time (the "Loan Agreement"). Grantor expects to derive economic benefit from Bank's doing so and dealing with Borrower in accordance with the Loan Agreement, and has entered into an Unconditional Guaranty dated as of December 13, 2004 with respect to the existing and future obligations of Borrower to Bank (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the "Guaranty"). Grantor wishes to secure performance and payment of all obligations to Bank under the Guaranty and the prompt performance by Grantor of each of its covenants and duties under this Agreement, the Guaranty and the other the Loan Documents (the "Guarantor Obligations") with substantially all of its assets. All terms used without definition in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Loan Agreement; provided that, as used herein the terms "Accounts", "Equipment" "Intellectual Property", "Inventory", "Negotiable Collateral", and "Subsidiary" refer to assets, property, rights and subsidiaries of Grantor rather than Borrower. As used herein "Loan Documents" includes all Loan Documents (as that term is defined in the Loan Agreement), this Agreement, the Guaranty and any and all other agreements entered into between Grantor and Bank in connection with any of the foregoing, all as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time. All terms used without definition in this Agreement or in the Loan Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in the California Uniform Commercial Code.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, Grantor and the Bank agree as follows:
 
1. Grant of Security Interest. In order to secure prompt repayment of any and all Guarantor Obligations, Grantor grants and pledges to Bank a continuing security interest in the Bank a security interest in the property described in Exhibit A (the "Collateral"). Grantor authorizes Bank to file with the California Secretary of State, or such other government office as Bank deems appropriate, one or more financing statements that (a) specifically describe the Collateral, describe the Collateral as all assets of Grantor of the kind pledged hereunder, include the description of the Collateral set forth on Exhibit A hereto, and (b) contain any other information required by the Code for the sufficiency of filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment, including whether Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to Grantor, if applicable. Grantor farther authorizes Bank to take any other actions as Bank may deem appropriate to perfect its security interest. Such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority security interest in Collateral acquired after the date thereof, subject in each case to Permitted Liens. Grantor shall from time to time, execute and deliver to Bank, at the request of Bank, all of Grantor's Negotiable Collateral, all financing statements and other documents that Bank may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue the perfection of Bank's security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, the Guaranty and the other Loan Documents.
 
2. Grantor's Representations and Warranties. Grantor represents and warrants as follows:
 
(a) Due Organization and Qualification. Grantor and each Subsidiary is duly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and qualified and licensed to do business in any state or other jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified or licensed could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
1

 
(b) Due Authorization; No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of the Guaranty, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are within Grantor's powers, have been duly authorized, and are not in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any provision contained in Grantor's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, nor will they constitute an event of default under any material agreement to which Grantor is a party or by which Grantor is bound. Grantor is not in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound except to the extent such default could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
(c) No Prior Encumbrances. Grantor has good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of Liens, except for Permitted Liens.
 
(d) Bona Fide Accounts. The Accounts are bona fide existing obligations.
 
(e) Merchantable Inventory. All Inventory is in all material respects of good quality, free from all material defects, except for Inventory for which adequate reserves have been made.

(g) Intellectual Property. Grantor is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property. Each of the Patents is valid and enforceable, and no claim has been made that any Intellectual Property violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person. Grantor's rights as licensee of another Person's Patents, Copyrights, Trademarks or other intellectual property do not give rise to more than 5% of Grantor's gross revenue in any fiscal quarter.
 
(h) Litigation. Except as disclosed in writing to Bank and except to the extent such actions or proceedings could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, there are no actions or proceedings pending by or against Grantor or any Subsidiary before any court or administrative agency. Except as disclosed to Bank in writing, Grantor does not have knowledge of any such pending or threatened actions or proceedings.
 
(i) No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements. All consolidated financial statements related to Grantor and any Subsidiary that are delivered by Grantor to Bank fairly present in all material respects Grantor's consolidated financial condition as of the date thereof and Grantor's consolidated results of operations for the period then ended. There has not been a material adverse change in the consolidated financial condition of Grantor since the date of the most recent of such financial statements submitted to Bank, other than as described in writing to Bank. No circumstance has occurred that has a Material Adverse Effect since the date of the most recent Compliance Certificate delivered to Bank, other than as consented to in writing by Bank.
 
(j) Solvency, Payment of Debts. Grantor is not insolvent, as that term is defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code. Grantor is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.
 
(k) Regulatory Compliance. Grantor and each Subsidiary has met the minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans subject to ERISA. No event has occurred resulting from Grantor's failure to comply with ERISA that is reasonably likely to result in Grantor's incurring any material liability. Grantor is not an "investment company" or a company "controlled'' by an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Grantor is not engaged principally, or as one of the important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). Grantor has complied with all material provisions of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Grantor has not violated any statutes, laws, ordinances or rules applicable to it extent to the extent such violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

None of Grantor's or any Subsidiary's properties or assets has ever been used by Grantor or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Grantor's knowledge, by previous owners or operators, in the disposal of, or to produce, store, handle, treat, release, or transport, any hazardous waste or hazardous substance other than in accordance with applicable law. None of Grantor's properties or assets has ever been designated or identified in any manner pursuant to any environmental protection statute as a hazardous waste or hazardous substance disposal site, or a candidate for closure pursuant to any environmental protection statute; no lien arising under any environmental protection statute has attached to any revenues or to any real or personal property owned by Grantor or any Subsidiary.

Grantor and each Subsidiary has obtained all material consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all governmental authorities that are necessary for the continued operation of Grantor's business as currently conducted except to the extent the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
(p) Full Disclosure. No representation, warranty or other statement made by Grantor in any certificate or written statement furnished to Bank contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained in such certificates or statements not misleading.

(a) Declare all Obligations and Guarantor Obligations, whether evidenced by the Loan Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 5.4 all Obligations and Guarantor Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);
 
(b) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Bank reasonably considers advisable;

(d) Make such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Grantor agrees to assemble the Collateral if Bank so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Bank as Bank may designate. Grantor authorizes Bank to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Bank's determination appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of Grantor's owned premises, Grantor hereby grants Bank a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of Bank's rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;
 
(e) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.1, to use, without charge, Grantor's labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank's exercise of its rights under this Section 6.1, Grantor's rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank's benefit except to the extent such license or other right would result in a breach of such agreement;
 
(f) Dispose of the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Grantor's premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate;
 
(g) Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; and
 
(h) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Grantor.

6.2 Power of Attorney. Grantor irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank's designated officers or employees) as Grantor's true and lawful attorney to, upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Bank's security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse Grantor's name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Bank's possession; (c) sign Grantor's name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to Grantor's policies of insurance; and (f) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; provided Bank may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of Grantor on any of the documents described in Section 4.2 regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. The appointment of Bank as Grantor's attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank's rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations (other than contingent obligations in respect of indemnities) have been fully repaid and performed and Bank's obligation to provide advances hereunder is terminated.
 
6.3 Accounts Collection. Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to Grantor of Bank's security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Grantor shall collect all amounts owing to Grantor for Bank, receive in trust all payments as Bank's trustee, and upon request of Bank immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
 
6.4 Bank Expenses. If Grantor fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Bank may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves under the Revolving Facility as Bank deems necessary to protect Bank from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 3(d) of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Bank deems reasonably prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Bank shall not constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement.
 
6.5 Bank's Liability for Collateral. Bank shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever, except to the extent resulting from Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct. All risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Grantor.
 
6.6 Remedies Cumulative. Bank's rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Guaranty and the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of Default on Grantor's part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.
 
6.7 Demand; Protest. Grantor waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Bank on which Grantor may in any way be liable.
 
7. Amendment of Loan Documents. Grantor authorizes Bank, without notice or demand and without affecting its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, extend, or otherwise change the terms of any Loan Document, or any part thereof; (b) take and hold security for the payment of any Loan Document, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security; and (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Bank in its sole discretion may determine.
 
7

 
8. Grantor Waivers. Grantor waives any right to require Bank to (a) proceed against Borrower, any other guarantor or any other person; (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower; (c) marshal any assets of Borrower; or (d) pursue any other remedy in Bank's power whatsoever. Bank may, at its election, exercise or decline or fail to exercise any right or remedy it may have against Borrower or any security held by Bank, including without limitation the right to foreclose upon any such security by judicial or nonjudicial sale, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Grantor hereunder. Grantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Borrower or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower. Grantor waives any setoff, defense or counterclaim that Borrower may have against Bank. Grantor waives any defense arising out of the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement or subrogation or any other rights against Borrower. Until all obligations under the Guaranty have been satisfied, Grantor shall have no right of subrogation or reimbursement, contribution or other rights against Borrower, and Grantor waives any right to enforce any remedy that Bank now has or may hereafter have against Borrower. Grantor waives all rights to participate in any security now or hereafter held by Bank. Grantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and notices of acceptance of this Agreement and of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional indebtedness. Grantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any indebtedness or nonperformance of any obligation of Borrower, warrants to Bank that it will keep so informed, and agrees that absent a request for particular information by Grantor, Bank shall have no duty to advise Grantor of information known to Bank regarding such condition or any such circumstances. Until all Obligations have been satisfied, Grantor waives the benefits of California Civil Code sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2845, 2847, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433. The provisions of this Section 8, and of Sections 9 and 10 below shall be in addition to, and shall not in any way limit, the provisions of the Guranty.
 
9. Borrower Insolvency. If Borrower becomes insolvent or is adjudicated bankrupt or files a petition for reorganization, arrangement, composition or similar relief under any present or future provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or if such a petition is filed against Borrower, and in any such proceeding some or all of any indebtedness or obligations under the Loan Documents are terminated or rejected or any obligation of Borrower is modified or abrogated, or if Borrower's obligations are otherwise avoided for insolvency, bankruptcy or any similar reason, Grantor agrees that Grantor's liability hereunder shall not thereby be affected or modified and such liability shall continue in full force and effect as if no such action or proceeding had occurred. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if any payment must be returned by Bank upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower, Grantor, any other person, or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made.
 
10. Notices. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by any party relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by a recognized overnight delivery service, certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by telefacsimile to Grantor or to Bank, as the case may be, at its addresses set forth below:
