Notwithstanding the foregoing the term “Collateral” shall not include: (a) “intent-to-use” trademarks at all times prior to the first use thereof, whether by the actual use thereof in commerce, the recording of a statement of use with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or otherwise, but only to the extent the granting of a security interest in such “intent to use” trademarks would be contrary to Applicable Law or (b) any contract, Instrument or Chattel Paper in which the Company has any right, title or interest if and to the extent such contract, instrument or chattel paper includes a provision containing a restriction on assignment such that the creation of a security interest in the right, title or interest of the Company therein would be prohibited and would, in and of itself, cause or result in a default thereunder enabling another person or entity party to such contract, Instrument or Chattel Paper to enforce any remedy with respect thereto; provided, however, that the foregoing exclusion shall not apply if (i) such prohibition has been waived or such other person has otherwise consented to the creation hereunder of a security interest in such contract, Instrument or Chattel Paper, or (ii) such prohibition would be rendered ineffective pursuant to UCC Sections 9-407(a) or 9-408(a), as applicable and as then in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, or any other Applicable Law (including the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or principles of equity); provided further that immediately upon the ineffectiveness, lapse or termination of any such provision, the term “Collateral” shall include, and the Company shall be deemed to have granted a security interest in, all its rights title and interests in and to such contract, Instrument or Chattel Paper as if such provision had never been in effect; and provided further that the foregoing exclusion shall in no way be construed so as to limit, impair or otherwise affect the Purchaser’ unconditional continuing security interest in and to all rights, title and interests of the Company in or to any payment obligations or other rights to receive monies due or to become due under any such contract, Instrument or Chattel Paper and in any such monies and other Proceeds of such contract, Instrument or Chattel Paper.
