2. Seller hereby constitutes and appoints Purchaser, its successors and
permitted assigns, the true and lawful attorney of Seller with full power of
substitution, in the name of Purchaser, or the name of Seller, on behalf of and
for the benefit of Purchaser, to collect the items being transferred to
Purchaser as provided herein, to endorse, without recourse, checks, notes and
other instruments in respect of such items in the name of Seller, to institute
and prosecute, in the name of Seller or otherwise, all proceedings that
Purchaser may deem proper in order to collect, assert, or enforce any claim,
right or title of any kind in or to the Assets as provided herein, to defend and
compromise any and all actions, suits or proceedings in respect of any of the
Assets and to do all such acts and things in relation thereto as Purchaser may
deem advisable. Seller agrees that the foregoing powers are coupled with an
interest and shall be irrevocable by Seller directly or indirectly in any manner
or for any reason. Seller further agrees that Purchaser shall retain for its own
account any amounts collected pursuant to the foregoing powers, and Seller shall
pay to Purchaser, if and when received, any amounts that shall be received by
Seller on or after the date hereof in respect of the Assets as provided herein.
Purchaser agrees, subject to the exclusions and limitations contained herein and
in the Asset Purchase Agreement, to perform, pay or discharge the Assumed
Liabilities (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement).
3. Seller will from time to time, at Purchaser request and without further cost
or expense to Purchaser, execute and deliver to Purchaser such other instruments
of transfer and take such other actions as Purchaser may reasonably request so
as more effectively to transfer the Assets to Purchaser free of mortgages, deeds
of trust, liens, encumbrances, security interests and claims.
4. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Xxxx of Sale and Assignment to the
contrary, nothing in this Xxxx of Sale and Assignment will constitute a transfer
or an attempted transfer of any contracts or permits that are not capable of
being transferred without the consent, approval, novation or waiver of a third
person or entity (including, without limitation, a governmental agency), or any
contracts or permits the transfer or attempted transfer of which would
constitute a breach of such contract or permit or violation of any law.
5. This Xxxx of Sale and Assignment will be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns, but will not be assignable or delegable by any party without the prior
written consent of the other party; provided, however, that nothing in this Xxxx
of Sale and Assignment is intended to limit Purchaser's ability to assign or to
transfer any of the Assets following the date hereof.
6. This Xxxx of Sale and Assignment and the legal relations among the parties
hereto will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of California.
7. This Xxxx of Sale and Assignment may be executed in two or more counterparts,
