1. Representations and Warranties. Assignor represents and warrants to Assignee that a true and correct listing of all of the existing Collateral consisting of U.S. trademarks, service marks, trade names, and all trademark, service xxxx and trade name applications owned by Assignor, in whole or in part, is set forth in Exhibit A.
2. Assignor's Obligations. Assignor agrees that, notwithstanding this Collateral Assignment, it will perform and discharge and remain liable for all its covenants, duties, and obligations arising in connection with the Collateral and any licenses and agreements related thereto. Assignee shall have no obligation or liability in connection with the Collateral or any licenses or agreements relating thereto by reason of this Collateral Assignment or any payment received by Assignee relating to Collateral, nor shall Assignee be required to perform any covenant, duty, or obligation or Assignor arising in connection with the Collateral or any license or agreement related thereto or to take any other action regarding the Collateral or any such licenses or agreement.
Assignor shall have the obligation to maintain, preserve or renew the Trademarks, and take any action to prohibit the infringements or unauthorized use of same by any third party. Assignee shall have no obligation to maintain, preserve or renew the Trademarks, nor to take any action to prohibit the infringements or unauthorized use of same by any third party.
3. Use Prior to Default. Unless and until an Event of Default under, and as defined in or under the Loan Agreement, shall occur and be continuing, Assignor shall retain the legal and equitable title to the Trademarks and shall have the right to use the Collateral, subject to the terms and covenants of the Loan Agreement and this Collateral Assignment.
4. Remedies Upon Default. Whenever any Event of Default under and defined in the Loan Agreement shall occur and be continuing, Assignor's rights pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall terminate and be null and void, and Assignee shall have all the rights and remedies granted to it in such event by the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, which rights and remedies are specifically incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. Assignee in such event may collect directly any payments due to Assignor in respect of the Collateral and may sell, license, lease, assign, or otherwise dispose of the Collateral in the manner set forth in the Loan Agreement or in any other Loan Document by Assignor in favor of Assignee. Assignor agrees that, in the event of any disposition of the Collateral upon any such Event of Default, it will duly execute, acknowledge, and deliver all documents necessary or advisable to record title to the Collateral in any transferee or transferees thereof, including, without limitation, valid, recordable assignments of the Trademarks. In the event Assignor fails or refuses to execute and deliver such documents, Assignor hereby irrevocably appoints Assignee as its attorney-in-fact, with power of substitution, to execute, deliver, and record any such documents on Assignor's behalf. For the purpose of enabling Assignee to exercise rights and remedies upon any such Event of Default, Assignee hereby grants to Assignee an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to Assignor) to use, assign, license, or sub-license any of the Collateral, now owned or hereafter acquired by Assignor, and wherever the same may be located.
5. Cumulative Remedies. This Collateral Assignment has been entered into in conjunction with the security interest granted to Assignee under the Loan Agreement. The rights and remedies provide herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law. The rights and remedies provided herein are intended to be in addition to and not in substitution of the rights and remedies provided by the Loan Agreement or any other agreement or instrument delivered in connection therewith.
6. Amendments and Waivers. This Collateral Assignment may not be modified, supplemented or amended, or any of its provisions waived at the request of Assignor, without the prior written consent of Assignee.
7. Reassignment. At such time as Assignor shall completely satisfy all of the Obligations, Assignee will, at Assignor's request, execute and deliver to Assignor all deeds, assignments and other instruments as may be necessary or proper to re-vest Assignor full title to the Collateral, subject to disposition thereof which may have been made by Assignee pursuant hereto.
8. Severability. If any clause or provision of this Collateral Assignment shall be held invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such clause or provision, or part thereof, and shall not in any manner affect any other clause or provision in any jurisdiction.
9. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon Assignor or Assignee under this Collateral Assignment shall be given in the manner prescribed in the Loan Agreement.
10. Governing Law. This Collateral Assignment shall be governed by, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New Jersey and the United States of America as applicable.
