Collection of Accounts Receivable At the Closing, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a complete and correct list of the Seller's Total Receivables (the "Total Receivables List") as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date specifying the age of each of the Accounts Receivable, the amount due, name and address of each account debtor on the Total Receivables List (the "Total Account Debtors"). In the event that the Value of the Accounts Receivable shall be less than the Value of the Total Receivables pursuant to Section 1.3.3 hereof, the Seller shall, in addition to the Total Receivables List, deliver to the Purchaser at the Closing a list of all Accounts Receivable to be sold, assigned, transferred and delivered to the Purchaser at the Closing (the "Accounts Receivable List"), specifying the age of each of the Accounts Receivable, the amount due, name and address of each account debtor on the Accounts Receivable List (the "Account Debtors"). Promptly after the Closing, the Seller and the Purchaser shall notify all Total Account Debtors or the Account Debtors, as the case may be, by notice that the Purchaser has purchased the Seller's Accounts Receivable, and shall direct all Account Debtors or Total Account Debtors, as the case may be, to remit directly to the Purchaser payment of all outstanding amounts represented by the Accounts Receivable. The Seller and the Stockholders, jointly and severally, shall remit promptly to the Purchaser in full the amount of any and all payments received by any of them in respect of the Accounts Receivable, without any diminution, offset, deduction or discount.
Deposit Account Payments Subsection (b) is amended to read as follows:
Payment of Accounts (a) Company will irrevocably direct all of its present and future Account Debtors and other Persons obligated to make payments constituting Collateral to make such payments directly to the lockbox maintained by Company (the "Lockbox") with Xxxxx Fargo pursuant to the terms of the Clearing Account Agreement dated August , 2003 among the Company, Laurus and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, (the "Lockbox Agreement")or such other financial institution accepted by Laurus in writing as may be selected by Company (the "Lockbox Bank"). On or prior to the Closing Date, Company shall and shall cause the Lockbox Bank to enter into all such documentation acceptable to Laurus pursuant to which, among other things, the Lockbox Bank agrees to: (a) sweep the Lockbox on a daily basis and deposit all checks received therein to an account designated by Laurus in writing and (b) comply only with the instructions or other directions of Laurus concerning the Lockbox. All of Company's invoices, account statements and other written or oral communications directing, instructing, demanding or requesting payment of any Account of Company or any other amount constituting Collateral shall conspicuously direct that all payments be made to the Lockbox or such other address as Laurus may direct in writing. If, notwithstanding the instructions to Account Debtors, Company receives any payments, Company shall immediately remit such payments to Laurus in their original form with all necessary endorsements. Until so remitted, Company shall hold all such payments in trust for and as the property of Laurus and shall not commingle such payments with any of its other funds or property. Company shall pay Laurus five percent (5%) of the amount of any payment so received by Company and not delivered in kind to Laurus within five (5) Business Days following Company's receipt thereof.
(b) At Laurus' election, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Laurus may notify Company's Account Debtors of Laurus' security interest in the Accounts, collect them directly and charge the collection costs and expenses thereof to Company's account.
Notice to Account Debtors Lender may, at any time after an Event of Default, notify the account debtors and obligors of any accounts, chattel paper, negotiable instruments or other evidences of indebtedness to Borrower included in the Property to pay Lender directly. Borrower shall at any time or from time to time upon the request of Lender provide to Lender a current list of all such account debtors and obligors and their addresses.
Lockbox Accounts Each Loan Party shall instruct all Account Debtors of such Loan Party to remit all payments to the applicable “P.O. Boxes” or “Lockbox Addresses” of the Administrative Agent and certain financial institutions selected by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (each, a “Collection Bank”) with respect to all Accounts of such Account Debtor, which remittances shall be collected by the applicable Collection Bank and deposited in the applicable Lockbox Account (each of which shall be under the “control” (as defined in Section 9-104 of the UCC) of the Administrative Agent). All amounts received by any Loan Party and any Collection Bank in respect of any Account shall upon receipt be deposited into a Lockbox Account or directly into the Core Concentration Account. Each Loan Party shall, along with the Administrative Agent and each of the Collection Banks that maintain one or more Lockbox Accounts and those banks in which any other Deposit Accounts (other than any Excluded Account) are maintained, enter into on or prior to the Closing Date or within 20 days thereof (or if any new Lockbox Accounts or Deposit Accounts are opened after such date, on the date on which such new Lockbox Accounts or Deposit Accounts are opened) separate Cash Management Control Agreements, in each case, to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, it being agreed and acknowledged that the control agreements delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Prepetition Credit Agreement constitute Cash Management Control Agreements under this Agreement and are satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for all purposes under this Agreement. Each Lockbox Account shall be a “zero” balance account. Each Collection Bank will be instructed to transfer all credit balances in each Lockbox Account to the Core Concentration Account not later than the close of business on each Business Day unless such amounts are otherwise (A) required to be applied pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(i) or (B) so long as no Dominion Period then exists, required to be retained in any Lockbox Account to satisfy the payment of outstanding obligations owing in respect of checks or similar obligations issued by any Loan Party, provided that the aggregate amount retained in all such Lockbox Accounts pursuant to this clause (B) shall not exceed that amount (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) to cover the aggregate amounts of all such outstanding obligations, and no other withdrawals shall be permitted except for withdrawals authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent for ordinary course recalls or credits relating to the Accounts or as set forth in any Cash Management Control Agreement entered into by the Administrative Agent with respect to such Lockbox Account. Such instructions will be irrevocable without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
Accounts Receivable; Accounts Payable (a) All accounts receivable of the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries, whether reflected on the Company Balance Sheet or subsequently created, are valid receivables that have arisen from bona fide transactions in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. All such accounts receivable are good and collectible (and subject to no setoffs or counterclaims) at the aggregate recorded amounts thereof, net of any applicable reserves for doubtful accounts reflected on the Company Balance Sheet as adjusted for operations and transactions through the Closing Date in accordance with past custom and practice of the Acquired Companies; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall be construed as a guarantee of collectability. Each of the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to their respective accounts receivable, free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens. Since the Balance Sheet Date, there have not been any write-offs as uncollectible of any notes or accounts receivable of any of the Acquired Companies or any of their Subsidiaries, except for write-offs as uncollectible of doubtful accounts reflected on the Company Balance Sheet as adjusted for operations and transactions through the Closing Date in accordance with past custom and practice of the Acquired Companies.
(b) All accounts payable and notes payable of the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries, whether reflected on the Company Balance Sheet or subsequently created, are valid payables that have arisen from bona fide transactions in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. Since the Balance Sheet Date, the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries have paid their accounts payable in the ordinary course of their business and in a manner which is consistent with past practices.
Blocked Accounts Agent shall have received duly executed agreements establishing the Blocked Accounts or Depository Accounts with financial institutions acceptable to Agent for the collection or servicing of the Receivables and proceeds of the Collateral;
Direction to Account Debtors; Contracting Parties; etc Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the Collateral Agent so directs any Assignor, such Assignor agrees (x) to cause all payments on account of the Receivables and Contracts to be made directly to one or more Cash Collateral Accounts (as the Collateral Agent shall so direct), (y) that the Collateral Agent may, at its option, directly notify the obligors with respect to any Receivables and/or under any Contracts to make payments with respect thereto as provided in the preceding clause (x), and (z) that the Collateral Agent may enforce collection of any such Receivables and Contracts and may adjust, settle or compromise the amount of payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Assignor. Without notice to or assent by any Assignor, 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 Accounts which application shall be effected in the manner provided in Section 7.4 of this Agreement. The reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) of collection, whether incurred by an Assignor or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by the relevant Assignor. The Collateral Agent shall deliver a copy of each notice referred to in the preceding clause (y) to the relevant Assignor, provided, that the failure by the Collateral Agent to so notify such Assignor shall not affect the effectiveness of such notice or the other rights of the Collateral Agent created by this Section 3.3.
