Assigned Contracts The Debtor shall fully perform all of its obligations under each of the Assigned Contracts, and shall enforce all of its material rights and remedies thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Debtor shall take all action reasonably necessary or appropriate, as determined solely by the Debtor, to permit, and shall not take any action which would have any materially adverse effect upon, the full enforcement of all indemnification rights under the Assigned Contracts. The Debtor shall notify the Secured Party in writing, promptly after the Debtor becomes aware thereof, of any event or fact which could give rise to a claim by it for indemnification under any of the material Assigned Contracts, and shall diligently pursue, as it deems appropriate, such right and report to the Secured Party on all further developments with respect thereto. The Debtor shall remit directly to the Secured Party for application to the Obligations in such order as the Secured Party shall determine, all amounts received by the Debtor as indemnification or otherwise pursuant to its Assigned Contracts. If the Debtor shall fail after the Secured Party's demand to pursue diligently any right under the material Assigned Contracts, or an Event of Default then exists, the Secured Party may directly enforce such right in its own or the Debtor's name and may enter into such settlements or other agreements with respect thereto as the Secured Party, shall determine. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Secured Party under any Assigned Contract for any sum owing thereunder or to enforce any provision thereof, the Debtor shall indemnify, defend and hold the Secured Party harmless from and against all expense (including without limitation Attorney Costs), loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaims, recoupment, or reduction of liability whatsoever of the obligor thereunder arising out of a breach by the Debtor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing from the Debtor to or in favor of such obligor or its successors. All obligations of the Debtor under an Assigned Contract shall be and remain enforceable only against the Debtor and shall not be enforceable against the Secured Party. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Debtor shall at all times remain liable to observe and perform all of its material duties and obligations under the Assigned Contracts, and the Secured Party's exercise of any of its rights with respect to the Collateral shall not release the Debtor from any of such duties and obligations. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to perform or fulfill the Debtor's duties or obligations under the Assigned Contracts or to make any payment thereunder, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment or property received by it thereunder or the sufficiency of performance by any party thereunder, or to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance, any payment of any amounts, or any delivery of any property.
The Contracts (i) will be sold by broker-dealers, or their registered representatives, who are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") and who are members in good standing of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

Except for the Assumed Contracts, Seller is not a party to or otherwise bound by the terms of any material contract, agreement or obligation, written or oral, affecting the Business or the Assets. Seller shall separately identify each Assumed Contract (i) pursuant to which any other party is granted “most favored party” rights of any type or scope, or containing any non-solicitation or non-competition covenants or other restrictions relating to the Business or that limits the freedom of Seller to engage or participate, or compete with any other Person, in any line of business, market or geographic area, or to make use of any Transferred Intellectual Property, (ii) that is an IP Agreement, (iii) that imposes on Seller payment obligations (contingent or otherwise) in excess of $5,000 per annum, (iv) that provides for payments to Seller in excess of $5,000 per annum, (v) that constitutes a partnership or joint venture agreement, (vi) that evidences outstanding Indebtedness which constitutes an Asset and (vii) that is a Lease. (c) Assumed Contracts (if any) are valid, binding and in full force and effect and enforceable by Seller prior to Closing and by Purchaser upon and after Closing.. Neither Seller, nor, to Seller’s Knowledge, any other party, is in material breach, violation of, or default under, and to the Knowledge of Seller, no event has occurred which, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, is reasonably likely to result in a breach or violation by Seller or such other party of, or default under, any Assumed Contract, and there are no existing disputes or claims of default relating thereto, or any facts or conditions Known to Seller which, if continued, will result in a material default or claim of default thereunder. Seller has not received any written or, to the Knowledge of Seller, oral notice of the intention of any party to terminate, cancel, amend or not renew any Assumed Contract. Except as set forth in Section 1.7, no consents are necessary for the effective assignment to and assumption by Purchaser of any of the Assumed Contracts including but not limited to the lease on the Premises.
