Collateral Assignment The Owner may assign this contract as collateral security. The Company is not responsible for the validity or effect of a collateral assignment. The Company will not be responsible to an assignee for any payment or other action taken by the Company before receipt of the assignment in writing at its Home Office. The interest of any beneficiary will be subject to any collateral assignment made either before or after the beneficiary is named. A collateral assignee is not an Owner. A collateral assignment is not a transfer of ownership. Ownership can be transferred only by complying with Section 8.2.
Assignment of Collateral There is no material collateral securing any Mortgage Loan that has not been assigned to the Purchaser.
Consent to Collateral Assignment Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.05, Seller may (but is not obligated to) assign this Agreement as collateral to a Lender for any financing or refinancing of the Generating Facility, including a Sale-Leaseback Transaction or Equity Investment and, in connection therewith, Buyer shall in good faith work with Seller and Lender to agree upon a consent to a collateral assignment of this Agreement or to a Sale-Leaseback Transaction or Equity Investment, as applicable (“Collateral Assignment Agreement”). The Collateral Assignment Agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably agreed to by ▇▇▇▇▇, Seller and Lender, and shall include, among others, the following provisions (together with such other commercially reasonable provisions required by any Lender that are reasonably acceptable to Buyer): Buyer shall give, to the Person(s) to be specified by Lender in the Collateral Assignment Agreement, simultaneously with the Notice to Seller and before exercising its right to terminate this Agreement, written Notice of any event or circumstance known to Buyer which would, if not cured within the applicable cure period specified in Article VI, constitute an Event of Default (an “Incipient Event of Default”); Lender shall have the right to cure an Incipient Event of Default or an Event of Default by Seller in accordance with the same provisions of this Agreement as apply to Seller; Following an Event of Default by Seller under this Agreement, Buyer may require Seller to (although Lender may, but shall have no obligation, subject to 9.05(g)) provide to Buyer a report concerning: The status of efforts by Seller or Lender to develop a plan to cure the Event of Default; Impediments to the cure plan or its development; If a cure plan has been adopted, the status of the cure plan’s implementation (including any modifications to the plan as well as the expected timeframe within which any cure is expected to be implemented); and Any other information which Buyer may reasonably require related to the development, implementation and timetable of the cure plan; Seller or Lender shall provide the report to Buyer within 10 Business Days after Notice from Buyer requesting the report. Buyer shall have no further right to require the report with respect to a particular Event of Default after that Event of Default has been cured; Lender shall have the right to cure an Event of Default or Incipient Event of Default on behalf of Seller, only if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ sends a written notice to Buyer before the end of any cure period indicating ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s intention to cure. Lender may remedy or cure the Event of Default or Incipient Event of Default within the cure period under this Agreement. Such cure period for Lender shall be extended for each day Buyer does not provide the Notice to Lender referred to in Section 9.05(a). In addition, such cure period may, in Buyer’s reasonable discretion, be extended by no more than an additional 180 days. If possession of the Generating Facility is necessary to cure such Incipient Event of Default or Event of Default, Lender has commenced foreclosure proceedings within 60 days after receipt of such Notice from Buyer, and Lender is making diligent and consistent efforts to complete such foreclosure, take possession of the Generating Facility and promptly cure the Incipient Event of Default or Event of Default, Lender or its designee(s) or assignee(s) will be allowed a reasonable period of time to complete such foreclosure proceedings, take possession of the Generating Facility and cure such Incipient Event of Default or Event of Default, not to exceed 180 days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s commencement of foreclosure. Additionally, if Lender is prohibited from curing any Incipient Event of Default or Event of Default by any process, stay or injunction issued by a Governmental Authority or pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings, then the time period for curing such Incipient Event of Default or Event of Default shall be extended for the period of the prohibition provided that Lender is exercising reasonable diligence in having such process, stay or injunction removed; Lender shall have the right to consent before any termination of this Agreement which does not arise out of an Event of Default or the end of the Term; Lender shall receive prior Notice of, and shall have the right to approve material amendments to this Agreement, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; In the event Lender, directly or indirectly, takes title to the Generating Facility (including title by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure), the Person taking title to the Generating Facility shall assume all of Seller’s obligations arising under this Agreement and all related agreements (subject to such limits on liability as are mutually agreed to by Seller, Buyer and Lender as set forth in the Collateral Assignment Agreement); provided, however, that Lender (or such Person) shall have no liability for any monetary obligations of Seller under this Agreement which are due and owing to Buyer as of the assumption date (but this provision may not be interpreted to limit Buyer’s rights to proceed against Seller as a result of an Event of Default) and Lender’s (or such Person’s) liability to Buyer after such assumption shall be limited to its interest in the Generating Facility; provided further, that before such assumption, if Buyer advises Lender (or such Person) that Buyer will require that Lender (or such Person) cure (or cause to be cured) one or more monetary or non-monetary Incipient Event(s) of Default or Event(s) of Default existing as of the date such Person takes title in order to avoid the exercise by Buyer (in its sole discretion) of Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Incipient Event(s) of Default or Event(s) of Default, then Lender (or such Person) at its option and in its sole discretion may elect to either (i) cause such Incipient Event(s) of Default or Event of Default to be cured, or (ii) not assume this Agreement; If Lender has assumed this Agreement as provided in Section 9.05(h) and elects to sell or transfer the Generating Facility (after Lender directly or indirectly, takes title to the Generating Facility), or sale of the Generating Facility occurs through the actions of Lender or an agent of or representative of Lender (excluding any foreclosure sale where a third party other than Lender, Seller, an Related Entity of Lender or an Related Entity of Seller is the buyer), then Lender must cause the transferee or buyer to assume all of Seller’s obligations arising under this Agreement and all related agreements as a condition of the sale or transfer excluding, however, a foreclosure (unless the transferee or buyer is Lender, Seller, an Related Entity of Lender or an Related Entity of Seller). Lender shall be released from all further obligations under the Agreement and all related documents following such assumption. Such sale or transfer (excluding a foreclosure) may be made only to a Person reasonably acceptable to Buyer; and If this Agreement is rejected in Seller’s Bankruptcy or otherwise terminated in connection therewith and if Lender or its representative or designee, directly or indirectly, takes title to the Generating Facility, then, at the request of either Buyer or Lender, Buyer and Lender (or its designee or representative) shall promptly enter into a new agreement with Buyer having substantially the same terms as this Agreement for the term that would have been remaining under this Agreement, provided that Lender’s (or its designee’s or representative’s) liability under such new agreement shall be limited to its interest in the Generating Facility and neither Lender (or its designee or representative) nor Buyer shall have any personal liability to the other for any amounts owing and neither Buyer nor Lender (or its designee or representative) shall have any obligation to cure any defaults under the original Agreement that was rejected in, or otherwise terminated in connection with Seller’s Bankruptcy.
