ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACT RIGHTS
THIS ASSIGNMENT is made and entered into the 30th day of
November, 1995, by AIRSHIP INTERNATIONAL LTD., a New York corporation
("Assignor"), in favor of SENSTAR CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation
("Assignee").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement (as it may
hereafter from time to time be restated, amended, modified or supplemented, the
"Credit Agreement") of even date herewith between Assignor and Assignee,
Assignee has agreed to provide a certain term loan to the Assignor; and
WHEREAS, in order to provide additional security for the
repayment of such loan, the parties hereto desire that Assignee be granted an
assignment and security interest in all rights of Assignor under that certain
Amended and Restated Airship Advertising Agreement (the "Assigned Contract")
between Assignor and Anheuser-Xxxxx Companies, Inc., dated July 8, 1994.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and covenants
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are acknowledged by Assignor, and intending to be legally
bound, Assignor assigns to Assignee all of its right, title and interest in and
to the Assigned Contract to the extent assignable and to the fullest extent
permitted by Law.
1. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, capitalized
terms used in this Assignment shall have the respective meanings given to them
in the Credit Agreement.
2. As collateral security for all Indebtedness, now outstanding
or hereafter arising, of Assignor to Assignee, Assignor has granted, bargained,
sold, assigned, transferred and set over and by these presents does hereby
grant, bargain, sell, assign, transfer and set over unto Assignee, its
respective successors and assigns, all the rights, interests and privileges
which the Assignor has or may have in or under the Assigned Contract, including
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the present and continuing
right with full power and authority, in its own name, or in the name of the
Assignor, or otherwise, but subject to the provisions and limitations of
Section 3 hereof, (i) to make claim for, enforce, perform, collect and receive
any and all rights under the Assigned Contract, (ii) to do any and all things
which Assignor is or may become entitled to do under the Assigned Contract, and
(iii) to make all waivers and agreements, give all notices, consents and
releases and other instruments and to do any and all other things whatsoever
which Assignor is or may become entitled to do under the Assigned Contract.
3. The acceptance of this Assignment and the payment or
performance under the Assigned Contract shall not constitute a waiver of any
rights of Assignee under the terms of the Term Note, the Credit Agreement or
any other Loan Documents, it being understood that, until the occurrence of an
Event of Default, and the exercise of Assignee's rights under Section 4 hereof,
Assignor shall have all rights to the Assigned Contract and to retain, use and
enjoy the same.
4. Assignor, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, hereby
authorizes Assignee, at Assignee's option, to do all acts required or permitted
under the Assigned Contract as Assignee in its sole discretion may deem proper.
Assignor does hereby irrevocably constitute
EXHIBIT "D" TO CREDIT AGREEMENT
NOT FOR EXECUTION
and appoint Assignee, while this Assignment remains in force and effect and, in
each instance, to the full extent permitted by applicable Law, its true and
lawful attorney in fact, coupled with an interest and with full power of
substitution and revocation, for Assignor and in its name, place and stead, to
demand and enforce compliance with all the terms and conditions of the Assigned
Contract and all benefits accrued thereunder, whether at law, in equity or
otherwise; Provided, however, that Assignee shall not exercise any such power
unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred.
5. Assignee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any
obligation or duty to be performed or discharged by Assignor under the Assigned
Contract, and Assignor hereby agrees to indemnify Assignee for, and to save
Assignee harmless from, any and all liability arising under the Assigned
Contract, other than arising or resulting from Assignee's (or its agents,
employees or contractors) gross negligence or willful misconduct.
6. Assignor agrees that this Assignment and the designation and
directions herein set forth are irrevocable.
7. Neither this Assignment nor any action or inaction on the
part of Assignee shall constitute an assumption on the part of Assignee of any
obligations or duties under the Assigned Contract.
8. Assignor covenants and warrants that:
(a) it has the power and authority to assign the Assigned
Contract and there have been no prior assignments of the Assigned Contract;
(b) the Assigned Contract is and shall be a legal, valid
and binding contract on the Assignor and, to the best of Assignor's knowledge,
on Anehuser-Xxxxx Companies, Inc., and that there are and shall be, to the
extent ascertainable by Assignor, no defaults on the part of any of the parties
thereto;
(c) the Assigned Contract is not subject to any pledge,
security interest, lien or encumbrance (except for Phoenixcor, Inc.'s interest,
which is contemporaneously herewith being released) and Assignor will not
assign, pledge or otherwise encumber the Assigned Contract without the prior
written consent of Assignee at Assignee's sole discretion;
(d) it will not cancel, terminate or accept any surrender
of the Assigned Contract, or amend or modify the same directly or indirectly in
any respect whatsoever, without having obtained the prior written consent of
Assignee thereto at Assignee's sole discretion;
(e) it will not waive or give any consent with respect to
any default or material variation in the performance under the Assigned
Contract, it will at all times take proper steps to enforce all of the
provisions and conditions thereof, and it will forthwith notify Assignee of any
material default under the Assigned Contract;
(f) it will perform and observe, or cause to be performed
and observed, all of the terms, covenants and conditions on its part to be
performed and observed with respect to the Assigned Contract; and
(g) it will execute from time to time any and all
additional assignments or instruments of further assurance to Assignee, as
Assignee may at any time reasonably request.
