Section 2. Collateral Assignment of the Material Agreements, Permits and Licenses. As additional security for the payment or performance of the Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the observance and performance by such Assignor of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Security Documents and the Loan Documents on the part of such Assignor to be observed or performed, each Assignor hereby collaterally assigns and grants to Assignee a security interest in all of such Assignor’s rights, title and interest in and to the Material Agreements and Material Permits; provided however, that Assignor shall not be required to collaterally assign any Material Agreement that is pledged or assigned to holder(s) of Mortgage Indebtedness which prohibits the further assignment or grant of a security interest to Assignee hereunder. Assignee hereby grants to Assignors a license to perform under and to receive performance by the parties to the Material Agreements and Material Permits, which license shall terminate upon delivery of notice by Assignee after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Upon repayment of the Obligations under the Credit Agreement and termination of the Credit Agreement, this Assignment shall automatically terminate and all rights and interest granted hereunder shall be automatically released. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Material Agreements or Material Permits include or the collateral assignment or security interest granted herein attach to (a) any Material Agreement or Material Permit to which any Assignor is a party, and any of its rights or interest thereunder, if and to the extent that a security interest is prohibited by or in violation of any law, rule or regulation applicable to such Assignor, (b) any Material Agreement or Material Permit to which any Assignor is a party, and any of its rights or interest thereunder, if and to the extent that a security interest is prohibited by or in violation of a term, provision or condition (including any requirement to obtain the consent of any third party that has not been obtained) that constitutes a breach or default under such Material Agreement or Material Permit or results in the termination of such Material Agreement or Material Permit and only to the extent that such term or provision was not rendered ineffective pursuant to Section 9-406 through 9-409 of the UCC; provided however, that the Material Agreements and Material Permits shall include (and such security interest shall attach) immediately at such time as the prohibition shall no longer be applicable and to the extent severable, shall attach immediately to any portion of such Material Agreement or Material Permit not subject to the prohibitions specified above; provided further that the exclusions referred to in this Section 2 shall not include any proceeds of any such Material Agreement or Material Permit.
