WHEREAS, Lenders will not advance funds pursuant to the Loan Agreement unless this Assignment and Agreement is executed; and
WHEREAS, Consignee and Borrower each desire to execute this Assignment and Agreement, in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, in order to induce Lenders to advance funds pursuant to the Loan Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual promises contained herein, and for the additional consideration of Ten and No/100ths Dollars ($10.00), the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by Consignee and Borrower, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Borrower hereby assigns its rights and interests in, under and pursuant to the Consignment Agreement to Collateral Agent as security for Borrower's obligations to Lenders and the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Note and the Security Agreement.
2. If an Event of Default does occur under the Loan Agreement and is continuing, then Collateral Agent may, at its option, by written notice to Consignee, take over Borrower's position as “Consignor” under the Consignment Agreement. In such event, Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights of Borrower under the Consignment Agreement, and Consignee shall continue to perform under the terms of the Consignment Agreement on behalf of Collateral Agent, and shall continue to warehouse, overhaul, recertify and sell the Parts as provided in the Consignment Agreement, as if Collateral Agent were originally a party thereto as Consignor.
3. Collateral Agent's taking over of Borrower's position as Consignor under the Consignment Agreement shall be preceded by at least three (3) Business Days' (as that term is defined in the Loan Agreement) prior written notice to Consignee. Notwithstanding anything in the Consignment Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Collateral Agent have any obligation to perform any of Borrower's obligations under the Consignment Agreement unless and until Collateral Agent delivers such notice to Consignee.
4. Borrower and Consignee shall not cause the Consignment Agreement to be modified or amended, and Borrower shall not waive any of its rights under the Consignment Agreement without, in either case, the prior written consent of Collateral Agent. Consignee shall not terminate, or accept termination of, the Consignment Agreement without giving at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its option, to cure the grounds asserted by Consignee for termination of the Consignment Agreement. The Consignment Agreement shall not be terminated by Consignee while Collateral Agent is promptly, diligently and actively prosecuting such a cure, provided that Consignee shall not be obligated to continue to perform work under the Consignment Agreement during the cure period unless Collateral Agent has agreed to pay for such performance. Borrower shall not terminate, or accept termination of, the Consignment Agreement without Collateral Agent's prior written consent.
5. In the event Collateral Agent does take over Borrower's position as Consignor under the Consignment Agreement, all payments to be made thereunder shall be subject to all of the requirements and prerequisites to advances and disbursements, if any, set forth in the Loan Agreement of even date therewith referred to therein.
6. In addition, Borrower hereby grants to Collateral Agent a security interest in Borrower's right, title and interests in, to and under the Consignment Agreement, if and to the extent that a security interest may be granted therein under the Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code, and Borrower acknowledges that Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect thereto provided for by the Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code, in addition to the other rights and remedies herein granted to Collateral Agent, in the event of the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan Agreement.
7. In consideration of the Lenders’ making the Loan to Borrower, Consignee hereby grants to Collateral Agent a security interest, for the benefit of itself and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in Consignee's right, title and interests in, to and under any and all subcontracts, purchase orders and other agreements now or hereafter executed by Consignee and related to the Parts, and Consignee acknowledges that Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect thereto provided for by the Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code, in addition to the other rights and remedies herein granted to Collateral Agent, in the event of the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan Agreement.
8. Subject to the provisions hereof, this Assignment and Agreement shall be binding upon Borrower, Consignee and their successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns. Collateral Agent may assign its rights under this Assignment and Agreement, without the consent of Consignee or Borrower, but neither Consignee nor Borrower may assign its obligations under the Consignment Agreement or under this Assignment and Agreement without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent.
