(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (defined below) and the principal sum under the Note being due and payable by acceleration or otherwise, the Secured Party may notify any or all Account Debtors of the security interest created hereby and may also direct such Account Debtors to make all payments on Collateral to the Secured Party. In such event, all payments on and from Collateral received by the Secured Party directly or from the Company shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 8 and the Secured Party may demand of the Company in writing, before or after notification to Account Debtors and without waiving in any manner the security interest created hereby, that any payments on and from the Collateral:
(i) shall be held by the Company in trust for the Secured Party in the same medium in which received;
(ii) shall not be commingled with any assets of the Company; and
(iii) shall be delivered to the Secured Party in the form received, properly indorsed to permit collection, promptly following their receipt; and
the Company shall comply with such demand. The Company shall also promptly notify the Secured Party of the return to, or repossession by, the Company of Goods underlying any Collateral, and the Company shall hold the same in trust for the Secured Party and shall dispose of the same as the Secured Party directs.
(b) The Company hereby assigns, transfers, and conveys to the Secured Party, effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, the nonexclusive right and license to use all Intellectual Property owned or used by the Company together with any goodwill associated therewith, all to the extent necessary to enable the Secured Party to realize on the Collateral and any successor or assign to enjoy the benefits of the Collateral. This right and license shall inure to the benefit of all successors, assigns and transferees of the Secured Party and its successors, assigns and transferees, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise.
(c) Until (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default and (ii) the principal sum under the Note shall become due and payable by acceleration or otherwise (an “Acceleration”), the Company reserves the right to receive all income from or interest on the Collateral consisting of Instruments. Upon such an Event of Default, the Company will not demand or receive any income from or interest on such Collateral other than from Inventory, royalties, licensing fees, milestone payments, research sponsorship payments, joint ventures or loan proceeds and, if the Company receives any such income or interest without any demand by it, the same shall be held by the Company in trust for the Secured Party in the same medium in which received, shall not be commingled with any assets of the Company and shall be delivered to the Secured Party in the form received, properly indorsed to permit collection, promptly following its receipt. The Secured Party may apply the net cash receipts from such income or interests to payment of the Obligations; provided that the Secured Party shall account for, and pay over to the Company, any such income or interest remaining after payment in full of the Obligations. Until an Acceleration, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may conduct its business in the ordinary course and may use its cash, cash equivalents, royalties, licensing fees, milestone payments, research sponsorship payments, interest, dividends, income, proceeds of loans and sales of securities, sales of inventory and joint venture distributions for general corporate purposes.
(d) If an Event of Default has occurred, the Company authorizes the Secured Party to:

(iii) surrender such Collateral or any part thereof in exchange for cash or securities of equivalent fair market value; and
(iv) hold the net cash receipts from any such payment or distribution described in clause (ii) above as part of the Collateral. If the Company receives any such increase, profits, payments, or distributions, the Company will receive and deliver same promptly to the Secured Party on the same terms and conditions set forth in Section 6(c) respecting income or interest, to be held by the Secured Party as part of the Collateral.
(e) The Company hereby assigns to the Secured Party all sums, including return of premiums, which may become payable under any and all of the Company’s policies of insurance which insure the Collateral, and directs each insurance company issuing any such policy to make payment thereof directly to the Secured Party.
7. Events of Default. The occurrence of any “Event of Default” under the Note, or any material breach of this Agreement by the Company, shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement.

to the Company’s status, this Agreement shall continue in full force notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Secured Party in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to the Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having become final and irrevocable.
