7.2 Any Proceeds received by a Seller, a Debtor or by a Funder in respect of assets of a Seller charged by any Debtor Security or assets of a Debtor charged by any Agent Security shall be dealt with according to the preceding provisions hereof as though such Proceeds were paid or payable as proceeds of realization of the collateral for which they compensate or in respect of such Purchased Receivable, as applicable, and all Proceeds received by a Seller, by a Debtor or by a Funder contrary to the provisions of this Agreement shall be held by such Seller, such Debtor or such Funder, as applicable, in trust for the benefit of the applicable Funder.
7.3 From time to time upon written request therefor, each of the Agents shall advise each other of the particulars of the indebtedness and/or obligations of their respective Debtors to each of them and all security held by each therefor.
7.4 Each Seller and the applicable Debtor in the case of each Financing Agreement shall permit each applicable Agent and its employees, agents and contractors, access at all reasonable times to inspect any property and assets of the Seller or any assets financed by an Agent that are in the possession of the applicable Seller or applicable Debtor, as the case may be, or its agents, as applicable, upon which such party has a charge, ownership interest or security interest in accordance with the terms hereof, and access to make copies of or extracts from any books of account and all records, ledgers, reports, documents and other writings relating to such property and assets or such assets, and to permit such other party to exercise any right it may have to remove such property and assets or such assets from the premises of such Seller or Debtor, as the case may be, at all reasonable times without interference, provided that such other party shall promptly repair any damage directly caused to the premises by the removal of any such property or assets or such assets (ordinary wear and tear excepted).
7.5 None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each of the parties hereto. A waiver by an Agent or a Debtor, as the case may be, of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion will not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that such party would otherwise have on any future occasion.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by the laws of the Province of Ontario. Nothing in this Agreement will affect any right that any party hereto may otherwise have to bring any action, suit or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any other party hereto or its properties in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any forum non conveniens defense to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

Each of the Sellers hereby consents to the terms of this Agreement, and confirms to and agrees with the WAM Debtor or the Atalaya Debtor, as the case may be, that, so long as a Seller remains obligated or indebted to such Debtor, the Seller shall stand possessed of its assets so charged in favour of the WAM Debtor or the Atalaya Debtor, as the case may be, in accordance with their respective interests and priorities as set out in this Agreement.
