3) obtaining governmental and other third party consents and approvals, including without limitation any consent of any licensor, lessor or other Person obligated on Collateral;

 

4) taking all actions required by the UCC in effect from time to time or by other Law, as applicable in any relevant UCC jurisdiction, or by other Law as applicable in any foreign jurisdiction;

 

(xv) not change its state of formation or organization or Type of Organization without providing Secured Party with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice; and

 

(xvi) not change its legal name without providing Secured Party with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice.

 

(c) Any expenses incurred in protecting, preserving or maintaining any Collateral shall be borne by Debtor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Party shall have no obligation or liability regarding the Collateral or any part thereof by reason of, or arising out of, this Agreement.

 

Section 6.  Default; Rights and Remedies of Secured Party upon a Default. If a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Secured Party shall have the following rights and remedies:

 

(a) Secured Party may exercise any or all of the remedies available to it under this Agreement, the Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended, at Law, in equity or otherwise;

 

8

 

 

(b) Secured Party may request that Debtor direct that all Receivables be paid directly to a lock box account established with, or for the benefit of, Secured Party;

 

(c) Debtor shall irrevocably appoint Secured Party its true and lawful attorney with full power of substitution, in the name of Debtor, for the sole use and benefit of Secured Party, but at Debtor’s expense, to the extent permitted by Law, to file claims under any insurance policies of Debtor, to receive, receipt and give acquittance for any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents that may be necessary to effect the collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies, but only to the extent and degree necessary in order to recover amounts owed pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement following a Default, and only until such time as said Default is cured. Secured Party shall promptly remit to Debtor any amounts collected from insurance providers or other similarly situated which are in excess of is owed under the Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended;

 

(d) Debtor irrevocably appoint Secured Party its true and lawful attorney with full power of substitution, in the name of Debtor, for the sole use and benefit of Secured Party, but at Debtor’s expense, to the extent permitted by Law, to exercise, all or any of the following powers with respect to all or any of Debtor’s Collateral (to the extent necessary to cause the Obligation to be Paid in Full):

 

(i) to demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof;

 

(ii) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect thereto;

 

(iii) to take control of, sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of the same or the Proceeds thereof, as fully and effectually as if Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof;

 

(iv) to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to make any allowance or other adjustment with reference thereto;

 

(v) to endorse Debtor’s name on any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment on Collateral that may come into Secured Party’s possession;

 

(vi) to sign Debtor’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating thereto, on any drafts against Obligors or other Persons making payment with respect thereto, on assignments and verifications of accounts or other Collateral and on notices to Obligors making payment with respect thereto;

 

(vii) to send requests for verification of obligations to any Obligor; and

 

(viii) to do all other acts and things reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement;

 

9

 

 

provided, however,that except in the case of Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market Secured Party will give Debtor at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof will be made. If, following the occurrence of a Default, any Obligor fails to make payment on any Collateral when due, Secured Party is authorized, in its sole discretion, either in its own name or in Debtor’s name, to take such action as Secured Party reasonably shall deem appropriate for the collection of any amounts owed with respect to Collateral or upon which a delinquency exists. Regardless of any other provision of this Agreement, however, Secured Party shall not be liable for its failure to collect, or for its failure to exercise diligence in the collection of, any amounts owed with respect to Collateral except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, nor shall it be under any duty to anyone except Debtor to account for funds that it shall actually receive under this Agreement. A receipt given by Secured Party to any Obligor shall be a full and complete release, discharge, and acquittance to such Obligor, to the extent of any amount so paid to Secured Party. Secured Party may apply or set off amounts paid and the deposits against any liability of Debtor to Secured Party.

 

(e) Secured Party’s sale of less than all the Collateral shall not exhaust Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement and Secured Party is specifically empowered to make successive sales until all the Collateral is sold, or until such time as the Default is cured. If the proceeds of a sale of less than all the Collateral shall be less than the Obligation, this Agreement and the Security Interest shall remain in full force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Collateral just as though no sale had been made. In the event any sale under this Agreement is not completed or is, in Secured Party’s opinion, defective, such sale shall not exhaust Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement and Secured Party shall have the right to cause a subsequent sale or sales to be made. Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any bill of sale or assignment or other instrument evidencing any foreclosure sale under this Agreement as to nonpayment of the Obligation, or as to the occurrence of any Default, or as to Secured Party’s having declared all of such Obligation to be due and payable, or as to notice of time, place and terms of sale and the properties to be sold having been duly given, or as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Secured Party, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited. Secured Party may appoint or delegate any one or more Persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Secured Party, including the sending of notices and the conduct of sale, but such acts must be done in the name and on behalf of Secured Party.

 

(f) In addition to any and all other rights afforded to Secured Party in this Section 6, Secured Party may exercise all the rights of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised) with respect to any Collateral and, if cash shall be insufficient to pay all of the Obligation in full, sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the provisions of the UCC. Notice of any such sale or other disposition shall be given to Debtor as required under this Section 6.

 

10

 

 

Section 7.  Application of Proceeds.

 

(a) If a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Secured Party may apply the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral, in the following order of priorities:

 

(i) first, to pay the expenses of such sale or other disposition, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by Secured Party in connection with this Agreement, and any other amounts then due and payable in connection with this Agreement;

 

(ii) second, to amounts due under the Asset Purchase Agreement; and

 

(iii) Any proceeds garnered from a sale that are in excess of amounts due under the Asset Purchase Agreement and necessary to cure a Default shall be remitted to Debtor within 5 business days of sale or other disposition.

 

(b) All distributions made by Secured Party pursuant to this section shall be final (except in the event of manifest error).

 

Section 8. Secured Party’s Use. At Secured Party’s option, Secured Party may elect to keep and use for its own purposes any Collateral, provided that an amount equal to the fair market value of the Collateral kept by Secured Party shall be applied to the amounts owing under the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

Section 9. Existence of Default. Regarding the existence of any Default for purposes of this Agreement, Debtor agrees that the Obligors on any Collateral may rely upon written certification from Secured Party that such a Default exists and Debtor expressly agrees that Secured Party shall not be liable to Debtor for any claims, damages, costs, expenses or causes of action of any nature whatsoever in connection with, arising out of, or related to Secured Party’s exercise of any rights, powers or remedies under the Asset Purchase Agreement except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

Section 10.  Limitation on Duty in Respect of Collateral

 

(a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody and preservation thereof, Secured Party will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any bailee or any income therefrom or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Secured Party will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession or control if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of any bailee selected by Secured Party in good faith or by reason of any act or omission by Secured Party pursuant to instructions from Debtor, except to the extent that such liability arises from Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

11

 

 

(b) To the extent that applicable Law imposes duties on Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Debtor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Secured Party (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work-in-process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other Law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Obligors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Obligors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as Debtor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, including, without limitation, any warranties of title, (xi) to purchase insurance of credit enhancements to insure Secured Party against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral, or to provide to Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of this section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Secured Party would not be commercially unreasonable in Secured Party’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Secured Party shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this section shall be construed to grant any right to Debtor or to impose any duties on Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this section.

 

(c) The Security Interest is given to secure the prompt, unconditional and complete payment and performance of the Obligation when due, and is given as security only. Secured Party does not assume, and shall not be liable for, any of Debtor’s liabilities, duties or obligations under, or in connection with, the Collateral. Secured Party’s acceptance of this Agreement, or its taking any action in carrying out this Agreement, does not constitute Secured Party’s approval of the Collateral or Secured Party’s assumption of any obligation under or in connection with the Collateral. This Agreement does not affect or modify Debtor’s obligations with respect to the Collateral.

 

12

 

 

Section 11.  Fraudulent Conveyance.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Debtor agrees that if, but for the application of this Section 10, the Obligation or any Security Interest would constitute a preferential transfer under 11 U.S.C. § 547, a fraudulent conveyance under 11 U.S.C. § 548 (or any successor section of that statute) or a fraudulent conveyance or transfer under any state fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or similar law in effect from time to time (each a “Fraudulent Conveyance”), then the Obligation and each affected Security Interest will be enforceable to the maximum extent possible without causing the Obligation or any Security Interest to be a Fraudulent Conveyance, and shall be deemed to have been automatically amended to carry out the intent of this Section 10.

 

Section 12.  Actions by Secured Party. The Asset Purchase Agreement shall govern the taking of any actions or exercise of any right or remedy by Secured Party under this Agreement.

 

Section 13.  General.

 

(a) This Agreement and the Security Interest shall remain in full force and effect until, and will terminate upon, the date on which all of the Obligation has been paid in full. Upon such termination, the Secured Party will execute any termination statement with respect to any financing statement or other security document executed and filed pursuant to this Agreement. If at any time all or any part of any payment applied by Secured Party to any Obligation is or must be rescinded or returned by Secured Party for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Debtor), such Obligation shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by Secured Party, and this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Obligation, all as though such application by Secured Party had not been made.

 

(b) Any notice from Secured Party to Debtor, if mailed, shall be deemed given five (5) days after the date mailed, postage prepaid, addressed to Debtor either at Debtor’s address shown on Schedule B hereto or at such other address as Debtor shall have specified in writing to Secured Party as its address for notices hereunder.

 

(c) Debtor agrees to pay all expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and necessary charges (including time charges of attorneys who are employees of Secured Party, at the same hourly rate at which Secured Party compensates those attorney- employees internally) paid or incurred by Secured Party in endeavoring to collect the Obligation of Debtor, or any part thereof, and in enforcing this Agreement against Debtor, and such obligations will themselves be part of the Obligation.

 

(d) No delay on the part of Secured Party in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by Secured Party of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

 

13

 

 

(e) THIS AGREEMENT, THE ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER DOCUMENTS AND AGREEMENTS DESCRIBED IN THE ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE PROVISIONS RELATING TO GOVERNING LAW, VENUE AND SERVICE OF PROCESS, REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BY THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

 

(f) The rights and privileges of Secured Party hereunder shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns. Debtor may not assign or transfer its rights hereunder or any interest herein or delegate its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of Secured Party.

 

(g) This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or Portable Document Format (pdf) transmission) in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signatories had signed the same document. Facsimile and other electronic copies of manually-signed originals shall have the same effect as manually- signed originals and shall be binding on Debtor and Secured Party. All counterparts must be construed together to constitute one and the same instrument.

 

(h) This Agreement and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Humphrey as Sellers’ Agent (the “Sellers’ Agent,” and collectively with Sellers, Purchaser and the Owners, the “Parties”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Non- Competition Agreement.

 

WITNESSETH

 

WHEREAS, the Parties entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of June 28, 2019 (as from time to time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, including any exhibits, schedules, annexes and attachments thereto, the “Asset Purchase Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, the Sellers, Owners and Purchaser have entered into a Non-Competition Agreement (“Agreement”) dated as of July 11, 2019;

 

WHEREAS, under the Asset Purchase Agreement, Purchaser and HTO Holdings Inc. (“HTO Holdings”) are to make certain payments toward the Purchase Price;

 

WHEREAS, Purchaser and HTO Holdings have requested, and Sellers have agreed, to amend the payment schedule of the Deferred Consideration; and

 

WHEREAS, as consideration for amending the payment schedule of the Deferred Consideration, the Purchaser and HTO Holdings agree to amend the Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and obligations recited herein, and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties amend the Agreement, as follows.

 

1. Section 5 of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

5. Defense. Except as provided in Section 8 of this Agreement, the covenants set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as agreements independent of any other provision in the Purchase Agreement or any other agreement by, between, among or affecting Purchaser and Sellers, and the existence of any claim or cause of action by Sellers against Purchaser, whether predicated on the Purchase Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of this Agreement.

 

1

 

 

2. The following section is added to the Agreement:

 

8. Purchaser’s Failure to Pay. In the event Purchaser and HTO Holdings fail to make any payment due to Sellers in the amount and on or before the due date of each respective payment as set forth in the Amendment No. 1 to the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated November 30th, 2021, Sellers and Owners shall provide Purchaser with a written notice of default and demand for cure.

AMENDED AND RESTATED DOMAIN NAMES TRANSFER AGREEMENT

 

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED DOMAIN NAME TRANSFER AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) is entered into as of November 30th, 2021 (“Effective Date”), by and between HTO Nevada Inc., a Delaware corporation, or its designated assignee (“Assignee”), Kirkman Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Kirkman Group”), Kirkman Laboratories, Inc., an Oregon corporation (“Kirkman Laboratories”), Kirkman Group International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Kirkman Group International”, collectively with Kirkman Group and Kirkman Laboratories, “Assignors”, and each individually, an “Assignor”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, Assignors and Assignee are parties to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of June 28, 2019 (as from time to time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, including any exhibits, schedules, annexes and attachments thereto, the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Assignee has agreed to purchase from Assignors the Assets;

 

WHEREAS, Assignors are the registrant of the domain names set forth on Schedule A hereto (the “Domain Names”);

 

WHEREAS, Assignee and Assignor have entered into a Domain Names Transfer Agreement dated as of July 11, 2019 (“Transfer Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, under the Asset Purchase Agreement, Assignee and HTO Holdings Inc. (“HTO Holdings”) were to make certain payments toward the Purchase Price, as defined therein;

 

WHEREAS, Assignee and HTO Holdings have requested, and the Assignors have agreed, to amend the payment schedule of the Deferred Consideration;

 

WHEREAS, as consideration for amending the payment schedule of the Deferred Consideration, Assignee and HTO Holdings agree to delay and to defer transfer of the domain names until such time as the Deferred Consideration has been satisfied in full; and

 

WHEREAS, it is the intent of the Parties that this Agreement will entirely replace the Transfer Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and obligations recited herein, and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Assignee and Assignor agree, to amend and restate the Transfer Agreement, as follows.

 

AGREEMENT

 

1. Upon execution of this Agreement, Assignors shall submit a request to the registrar of each Domain Name to transfer the Domain Names to Assignee and will otherwise take all steps necessary in order to effectuate the expeditious and complete transfer of the Domain Names to Assignee. Without limiting the foregoing, Assignors shall complete all online procedures set forth by the registrar that are necessary to transfer the Domain Names to Assignee.

 

1

 

 

2. Subject to Section 3 below and the terms of the Trademark and Domain Name License Agreement, each Assignor agrees, on the Effective Date, to cease any use (and to terminate and discontinue all use ) of the Domain Names with regard to itself and any business or entity at any time owned or controlled by such Assignor.

 

3. In the event the Purchaser and HTO Holdings fail to make payment in full satisfaction of the Deferred Consideration as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended, the Assignors and Sellers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and begin immediate use of the Domain Names, and Assignee agrees to transfer immediately all rights and registrations to all of the Domain Names to Assignor.

 

4. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. The terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to Assignors’ representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnities (subject to the limitations therein) relating to the Assets, including the Domain Names, are incorporated herein by this reference. Each Assignor acknowledges and agrees that the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnities (subject to the limitations therein) contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement shall not be superseded hereby but shall remain in full force and effect to the full extent provided therein. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the terms hereof, the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement shall govern.

 

5. Assignors jointly and severally covenant and agree to execute and deliver, at the request of the Assignee, such further instruments of transfer and assignment and to take such other action as Assignee may reasonably request to more effectively consummate the assignments contemplated by this Agreement. If Assignee is unable for any reason to secure any of the Assignors’ signature to any document required to file, prosecute, register, or memorialize the transfer of any of the Domain Names as provided under this Agreement, such Assignor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Assignee and Assignee’s duly authorized officers and agents as Assignor’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Assignor’s behalf and instead of Assignor to take all lawfully permitted acts to further the filing, prosecution, registration, memorialization of assignment, issuance, and enforcement of rights under such Domain Names, all with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Assignor. The foregoing is deemed a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

 

6. This Agreement and the legal relations between the Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed in such State and without regard to conflicts of law doctrines.

 

7. Each Assignee and Assignor to this Agreement acknowledges that it has had the benefit of advice of competent legal counsel or the opportunity to retain such counsel with respect to its decision to enter into this Agreement.

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED TRADEMARK ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) is entered into as of November 30th, 2021 (“Effective Date”), by and between HTO Nevada Inc., a Delaware corporation, or its designated assignee (“Assignee”), Kirkman Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Kirkman Group”), Kirkman Laboratories, Inc., an Oregon corporation (“Kirkman Laboratories”), Kirkman Group International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Kirkman Group International”, collectively with Kirkman Group and Kirkman Laboratories, “Assignors”, and each individually, an “Assignor”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

WITNESSETH

 

WHEREAS, Assignors and Assignee are parties to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of June 28, 2019 (as from time to time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, including any exhibits, schedules, annexes and attachments thereto, the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Assignee has agreed to purchase from Assignors the Assets;

 

WHEREAS, Assignee and Assignors have entered into a Trademark Assignment Agreement dated as of July 11, 2019 (“Assignment Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, under the Asset Purchase Agreement, Assignee and HTO Holdings Inc. (“HTO Holdings”) were to make certain payments toward the Purchase Price, as defined therein;

 

WHEREAS, Assignee and HTO Holdings have requested, and the Assignors have agreed, to amend the payment schedule of the Deferred Consideration;

 

WHEREAS, as consideration for amending the payment schedule of the Deferred Consideration, Assignee and HTO Holdings agree to delay and to defer transfer of certain Marks until such time as the Deferred Consideration has been satisfied in full; and

 

WHEREAS, it is the intent of the Parties that this Agreement will entirely replace the Assignment Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and obligations recited herein, and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Assignee and Assignor agree to amend and restate the Assignment Agreement, as follows.

 

AGREEMENT

 

1. Upon execution of this Agreement, each Assignor will irrevocably assign to the Assignee: (i) all of such Assignor’s right, title, and interest in and to the trademarks set forth in Exhibit A (the “Marks”), together with the goodwill associated therewith; (ii) any and all legal actions and rights and remedies at law or in equity for past, present and future infringements, misappropriations, or other violations of the Marks, including the right to prosecute, maintain and sue for, collect, and retain all damages (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), profits, proceeds, and all other remedies associated therewith; and (iii) any and all income, royalties, and payments accruing on or after the date of this Agreement with respect to the Marks, for the Assignee’s own use and enjoyment and for the use and enjoyment of the Assignee’s successors, assigns, or other legal representatives.

 

1

 

 

2. Subject to Section 4 below, each Assignor agrees, on the Effective Date, to cease any use (and to terminate and discontinue all use of) the terms contained in the Marks and any terms similar thereto in any domain name, domain name registration, trademark, service mark, trade name, company name, legal name, fictitious business name, logo, and any other indicator of origin, with regard to itself and any business or entity at any time owned or controlled by such Assignor.

 

3. Promptly following the Effective Date, each Assignor will authorize and request the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks of the United States, and any other official throughout the world whose duty is to register and record ownership in trademark registrations and applications for registration of trademarks, to record the Assignee as the assignee and owner of any and all of such Assignor’s rights in the Marks.

 

4. In the event the Purchasers fail to make payment in full satisfaction of the Deferred Consideration as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended, the Assignors Sellers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and begin immediate use of the Marks, and Assignee agrees to take all steps necessary to transfer immediately all rights in all of the Marks to Assignor.

 

5. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. The terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to Assignors’ representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnities (subject to the limitations therein) relating to the Assets, including the Marks, are incorporated herein by this reference. Each Assignor acknowledges and agrees that the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnities (subject to the limitations therein) contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement shall not be superseded hereby but shall remain in full force and effect to the full extent provided therein. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the terms hereof, the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement shall govern.

 

6. Assignors jointly and severally covenant and agree to execute and deliver, at the request of the Assignee, such further instruments of transfer and assignment and to take such other action as Assignee may reasonably request to more effectively consummate the assignments contemplated by this Agreement. If Assignee is unable for any reason to secure any of the Assignors’ signature to any document required to file, prosecute, register, or memorialize the assignment of any rights under any Marks as provided under this Agreement, such Assignor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Assignee and Assignee’s duly authorized officers and agents as Assignor’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Assignor’s behalf and instead of Assignor to take all lawfully permitted acts to further the filing, prosecution, registration, memorialization of assignment, issuance, and enforcement of rights under such Marks, all with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Assignor. The foregoing is deemed a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

 

2

 

 

7. This Agreement and the legal relations between the Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed in such State and without regard to conflicts of law doctrines.

 

8. Each Assignee and Assignor to this Agreement acknowledges that it has had the benefit of advice of competent legal counsel or the opportunity to retain such counsel with respect to its decision to enter into this Agreement. Assignors and Assignee shall be deemed to have cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement. Hence, any construction to be made of this Agreement shall not be construed against any Party.

 

9. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or Portable Document Format (pdf) transmission) in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signatories had signed the same document. Facsimile and other electronic copies of manually- signed originals shall have the same effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on Assignee and Assignors. All counterparts must be construed together to constitute one and the same instrument.

 

10. The Agreement shall not be further altered, amended or modified by oral representation made before or after the execution of this Agreement, except in writing, executed by all Assignee and Assignors.
