Client hereby grants to Supplier the right and authorizes Supplier (but agrees that Supplier shall have no obligation) to ship all Goods supplied or financed by it directly to the Customer, invoice the sale of the Goods to the Customer and assign the Accounts arising therefrom to Supplier, either in its capacity as Supplier hereunder or in its capacity as factor (in such capacity, the “ Factor ”) under the Factoring Agreement of even date herewith between Client and Factor (as it may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Factoring Agreement ”) , on behalf of Client and in Client’s name.
