J. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Assignment and provisions of the note or other evidence of the Liability, with respect to the Policy or rights of collateral security therein, the provisions of this Assignment shall prevail.

K. Each of the undersigned declares that no proceedings in bankruptcy are pending against him and that his property is not subject to any assignment for the benefit of creditors.
