Borrower hereby authorizes and directs Secured Party to deposit into a special collateral account to be established and maintained with Secured Party all checks, drafts and cash payments received in said lock box. All deposits in said collateral account shall constitute proceeds of Collateral and shall not constitute payment of any Obligation. At its option, Secured Party may, at any time, apply finally collected funds on deposit in said collateral account to the payment of the Obligations in such order of application as Secured Party may determine, or permit Borrower to withdraw all or any part of the balance on deposit into said collateral account, all payments on accounts and chattel paper received by it. All such payment shall be delivered to Secured Party in the form received (except for Borrower’s endorsement where necessary).

If Secured Party so requests at any time, Borrower will so notify such account debtors and other obligors in writing and will indicate on all invoices to such account debtors or other obligors, that the amount due is payable directly to Secured Party. At any time after Secured Party or Borrower gives such notice to an account debtor or other obligor, Secured Party may (but need not), in its own name or in Borrower’s name, demand, xxx for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of, or securing, any such chattel paper, account, or other right to payment, or grant any extension to, make any compromise or settlement with or otherwise agree to waive, notify, amend or change the obligations (including collateral obligations) of any such account debtor or other obligor.

Both before and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Secured Party may (but need not), in its own name or in Borrower’s name, execute and deliver proofs of claim, receive all such monies, endorse checks and other instruments representing
5
payment of such monies, and adjust, litigate, compromise or release any claim against the issuer of any such policy.
