| 2. | ASSIGNMENT OF PERMITTED LEASE |
| 2.1 | Assignment of Permitted Lease. As security for the Secured Obligations related to the Equipment, Customer hereby grants to KEF a first priority security interest in, and assigns, sets over, and transfers to KEF, its successors and assigns, all (except as otherwise provided herein) of Customer’s right, title, and interest in and to (a) the Permitted Leases and all extensions and renewals thereof, (b) all rentals and other sums due, now or hereafter, under the Permitted Leases (including, without limitation, the price paid pursuant to the exercise by the applicable Permitted User of any purchase option contained in any Permitted Lease), (c) any and all proceeds of insurance, if any, insuring the Equipment, and (d) all products and proceeds of the foregoing; provided, however, that KEF will not exercise its rights hereunder unless and until a Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing assignment, Customer will cause each Permitted User to pay Customer all rentals and other sums payable under the applicable Permitted Lease until KEF delivers to Customer notice of a Default under the Agreement. Upon giving such notice of Default to Customer, KEF may notify each Permitted User (or, if requested by KEF, Customer will notify each Permitted User) to pay directly to KEF all rentals and other sums payable and to become payable under the Permitted Leases. Upon Permitted User’s receipt of such notice, Customer hereby authorizes and directs Permitted User to pay KEF all rentals and other sums payable and to become payable under the Permitted Leases. If any remittance is thereafter received by Customer relating to such Permitted Lease, such remittance will be immediately delivered to KEF bearing the endorsement “Pay to the order of KEY EQUIPMENT FINANCE, A DIVISION OF KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION” Until such amounts are remitted to KEF, or if the remittance is in a form that precludes an endorsement, Customer will segregate, separately account for and hold all such funds in trust for KEF and immediately pay the amount of the remittance to KEF. Customer hereby appoints KEF its attorney-in-fact to negotiate any remittance which is received by KEF from a Permitted User after a Default and made payable to Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Customer receives the proceeds of any insurance as a result of a casualty suffered by leased Equipment, Customer immediately will remit such insurance proceeds to KEF. |
| 2.2 | Grant of Security in Inventory and Accounts Receivable. To the extent the Equipment covered by a Permitted Lease may constitute or be deemed to be Customer’s inventory (the “Inventory”): |
| (a) | Customer hereby grants to KEF a security interest in such inventory, which will mean all Equipment offered or furnished under any contract of service or intended for sale or lease, any and all additions, attachments, accessories and accessions thereto, any and all substitutions, replacements or exchanges therefor, any and all leases, subleases, rentals, accounts and contracts with respect to the Equipment which may now exist or hereafter arise, together with all rights thereunder and all rental and other payments due and to become due thereunder, any and all proceeds payable for such property, any insurance, bonds and/or other proceeds of the property and all returned or repossessed Equipment now or at any time or times hereafter in the possession or under the control of Customer or any Permitted User; provided, however, that Customer is not authorized to sell the Equipment or the Inventory, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement. |
| (b) | Customer also grants to KEF a security interest in all accounts receivable now owned by Customer or hereafter acquired or owned by Customer to the extent that such arise or result from any lease or other disposition of any of the Equipment or the Inventory, including, but not limited to, any Permitted Lease or any right of Customer to payment for Equipment sold or leased whether or not evidenced by an instrument or chattel paper, and whether or not such right has been earned by performance (the “Accounts Receivable”). |
| 2.3 | Further Assurances; Delivery of Permitted Lease. Customer agrees that at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of KEF, Customer will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, any and all further instruments and documents as KEF may reasonably deem desirable to perfect its security interest in the Permitted Leases, the Inventory and the Accounts Receivable including, without limitation, an acknowledgment executed by the applicable Permitted User of (a) KEF’s interest in the Equipment and (b) the terms of this Agreement. Customer will deliver to KEF all original copies of the Permitted Leases promptly upon execution thereof, and will mark prominently all other copies of a Permitted Lease “Not an Original”. As to any Equipment that is a titled motor vehicle, unless and until a Default has occurred, Customer will retain the original certificates of title with respect to the Equipment. Upon the occurrence of a Default, upon receipt of KEF’s request therefor, Customer will deliver to KEF the original certificates of title with respect to the Equipment. |
| 2.4 | No Waiver by KEF. KEF’s failure to exercise any right hereunder will not be considered a waiver of such right or any other right. |
| 3. | ADDITIONAL TERMS |
| 3.1 | No Further Transfer by Customer. OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN THIS CONSENT AGREEMENT, CUSTOMER WILL NOT, WITHOUT KEF’S PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT, (a) ASSIGN, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATE OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF THE AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE EQUIPMENT OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN, OR (b) LEASE OR LEND THE EQUIPMENT TO, OR PERMIT THE EQUIPMENT TO BE USED BY, ANYONE OTHER THAN CUSTOMER, A PERMITTED USER, OR CUSTOMER’S OR A PERMITTED USER’S QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES AND/OR CONTRACTORS. |
