FYI. You won't hear from me again until I have a constructive solution to this potentially insolveable problem.

I have the following primary concerns which are not easily reconciled: 1. for an assignment to be effective it must take effect prior to bankruptcy or mutuality will be lost by the interposition of a bankruptcy trustee; 2. although words of present assignment are used, under the current wording the assignment probably does not occur at least until there is a defaulting party; 3. if we should wish to characterize it as a general assignment for security purposes (perfection of which would require registration), there does appear to be any obligation between X and XA (as opposed to Y) for which the assignment is to secure performance. When you are available, I would like to speak to you regarding the foregoing. Regards, A.
