or change the terms or provisions of any such obligations and (2) if for any reason and under any circumstance the Guarantor receives a payment on such obligation, whether in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding or otherwise, all such payments or distributions upon or with respect to such obligations shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Lender, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by the Guarantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Lender in the same form as so received (with
any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to, or held as collateral (in the case of securities or other non-cash property) for, the payment or prepayment of the Guaranteed Obligations.
