“(a) Borrowers and Guarantors shall establish and maintain, at their expense, blocked accounts or lockboxes and related blocked accounts (in either case, “Blocked Accounts”), as Agent may specify, with such banks as are acceptable to Agent
into which Borrowers and Guarantors shall promptly deposit and direct their respective account debtors to directly remit all payments on Receivables and all payments constituting proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral in the identical form in which such payments are made, whether by cash, check or other manner. Borrowers and Guarantors shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to Agent a Deposit Account Control Agreement (or in the case of Farah UK, letters of notice and acknowledgment in form and substance satisfactory to Agent) duly authorized, executed and delivered by each bank where a Blocked Account is maintained as provided in Section 5.2 hereof or at any time. Agent shall instruct the depository banks at which the Blocked Accounts of the US Loan Parties are maintained to transfer the funds on deposit in such Blocked Accounts to such operating bank account of the US Loan Parties as Borrower Agent may specify in writing to Agent until such time as Agent shall notify the depository bank otherwise. Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Agent or Lenders, Agent may, at its option, instruct the depository banks at which the Blocked Accounts of the US Loan Parties are maintained to transfer all available funds received or deposited into such Blocked Accounts to the Agent Payment Account at any time that either: (i) an Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing, or (ii) the aggregate Excess Availability of Borrowers is less than $35,000,000. Agent shall send to Borrower Agent a copy of any such written instruction sent by Agent to such depository bank promptly thereafter. In the event that, at any time after Agent has instructed such depository banks to transfer such funds to the Agent Payment Account, each of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above do not exist or have not occurred and are not continuing for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days, upon Borrower Agent’s written request received by Agent within five (5) Business Days after the end of such thirty (30) day period, Agent shall instruct such depository banks to transfer the funds on deposit in such accounts to such operating deposit account of the US Loan Parties as Borrower Agent may specify in writing to Agent until such time as Agent is entitled to notify and shall notify the depository bank otherwise as provided above. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (x) funds on deposit in the Blocked Accounts of Foreign Loan Parties shall be transferred to the Agent Payment Account unless Agent otherwise directs and (y) no payments received by Agent from Farah UK (whether into the Agent Payment Account or otherwise) shall be applied to any Obligations other than Obligations of Farah UK. Borrowers and Guarantors agree that all payments made to such Blocked Accounts or other funds received and collected by Agent or any Lender, whether in respect of the Receivables, as proceeds of
Inventory or other Collateral or otherwise shall be treated as payments to Agent and Lenders in respect of the Obligations and therefore shall constitute the property of Agent and Lenders to the extent of the then outstanding Obligations.”
