2. Assignment. Assignor, as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations, hereby pledges and hypothecates to Purchaser for the benefit of itself and the other Holders, and grants to Purchaser for the benefit of itself and the other Holders, a Lien on and security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Merger Agreement Documents, including, but not limited to, its right, title and interest with respect to the Merger Agreement Document Undertakings. This Assignment shall not expand the scope of the Merger Agreement Document Undertakings.

 

 
 

 

3. Authorization of Purchaser. Assignor hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Purchaser or its agent, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Purchase Agreement, to (i) assert on behalf of Assignor, in Assignor’s or its own name, any claims Assignor may have from time to time against any Seller with respect to the Merger Agreement Documents, including, but not limited to, claims relating to Merger Agreement Document Undertakings, (ii) receive and collect any and all damages, awards and other monies resulting therefrom, (iii) apply any of the amounts described in clause (ii) preceding to the payment of the Obligations in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and (iv) on behalf of Assignor, in Assignor’s or its own name, (A) assert any rights of Assignor under the Merger Agreement Documents and (B) give any consent under, grant any waiver with respect to, or otherwise modify any Merger Agreement Document, or to revoke any such consent, waiver or modification previously given.

Regardless of the existence of an Event of Default, Assignor hereby irrevocably assigns to Purchaser the immediate right to receive directly from FuboTV any and all payments, proceeds, monies, damages and awards arising from the Merger Agreement Document Undertakings and to effectuate any documents or assignment or transfer necessary to register the Merger Agreement Documents in the Purchaser’s name; provided that Purchaser shall not enforce such assignment against FuboTV unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
