Notification of Account Debtors MLBFS may notify any Account Debtor that its Account or Chattel Paper has been assigned to MLBFS and direct such Account Debtor to make payment directly to MLBFS of all amounts due or becoming due with respect to such Account or Chattel Paper; and MLBFS may enforce payment and collect, by legal proceedings or otherwise, such Account or Chattel Paper.
Account Debtors If a Default should occur, Bank shall have the right to notify the account debtors obligated on any or all of the Collateral to make payment thereof directly to Bank and Bank may take control of all proceeds of any such Collateral, which rights Bank may exercise at any time. The cost of such collection and enforcement, including attorneys' fees and expenses, shall be borne solely by Debtor whether the same is incurred by Bank or Debtor. If a Default should occur or upon demand of Bank, Debtor will, upon receipt of all checks, drafts, cash and other remittances in payment on Collateral, deposit the same in a special bank account maintained with Bank, over which Bank also has the power of withdrawal. If a Default should occur, no discount, credit, or allowance shall be granted by Debtor to any account debtor and no return of merchandise shall be accepted by Debtor without Bank's consent. Bank may, after Default, settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts and upon terms that Bank considers advisable, and in such cases Bank will credit the Obligations with the net amounts received by Bank, after deducting all of the expenses incurred by Bank. Debtor agrees to indemnify and defend Bank and hold it harmless with respect to any claim or proceeding arising out of any matter related to collection of Collateral.
Notification to Account Debtors The Lender shall have the right at any time (whether or not an Event of Default has occurred) to notify any of the Borrower's Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Lender and to collect all amounts due on account of the Collateral.

Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, without notice to or assent by any Grantor, the Collateral Agent may, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, apply any or all amounts then in, or thereafter deposited in, the Cash Collateral Account toward the payment of the Obligations in the manner provided in Section 5.4 of this Agreement. The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of collection (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees), whether incurred by a Grantor or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by the relevant Grantor. The Collateral Agent shall deliver a copy of each notice given to any such obligors referred to in the preceding clause (y) to the relevant Grantor, provided that (x) the failure by the Collateral Agent to so notify such Grantor shall not affect the effectiveness of such notice or the other rights of the Collateral Agent created by this Section 3.3 and (y) no such notice shall be required if an Event of Default of the type described in Section 8.01(f) of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing.

The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to cause any financing statement or continuation statement to be filed in respect of the Collateral.
Collection of Accounts Receivable Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 5.2, prior to the Closing, Seller and its Subsidiaries shall collect all Accounts Receivable in the ordinary course of business, consistent with Seller’s and its Subsidiaries’ past practice with respect to the Acquired Assets. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall have the sole right and authority to collect for its own account all Accounts Receivable and to endorse with the name of Seller and its Subsidiaries any checks or drafts received with respect to any such Accounts Receivable. Seller agrees to deliver promptly to Purchaser all cash, checks or other property received directly or indirectly by Seller and its Subsidiaries with respect to such Accounts Receivable, including, without limitation, any amounts payable as interest thereon. From and after the Closing, unless specifically requested by Purchaser, Seller and its Subsidiaries shall not contact any current or former customer regarding any Accounts Receivable and shall refer promptly to Purchaser all inquiries with respect to any Accounts Receivable.
