Each Borrower agrees that immediately upon an Event of Default or the Trigger Event occurring and continuing, the Obligations shall be on a “remittance basis” and each Borrower’s Collection Account(s) shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or the Trigger Event, convert to a non-interest bearing deposit account with Bank (each a “Springing DOF Account”) to which Bank shall have exclusive access and control; provided that, upon any written waiver by the Bank of all then-outstanding Event(s) of Default or the end of the Trigger Event in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, each such Springing DOF Account shall promptly convert/revert to a Collection Account;
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or the Trigger Event, each Borrower shall hold in trust for Bank all amounts that such Borrower receives despite the directions to make payments to the Springing DOF Account(s), and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit into the Springing DOF Account(s).

(c) Each Borrower shall execute all documents and authorizations as required by Bank, including but not limited to, documentation and authorizations to establish and maintain the Springing DOF Account(s). Each Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or the Trigger Event: (i) such Borrower shall not be an authorized signer on any Springing DOF Account; (ii) such Borrower shall not order or write checks on any Springing DOF Account; and (iii) each Springing DOF Account: (A) shall be non-interest bearing; and (B) may not be used to initiate or authorize debit transactions of any kind, including, but not limited to: writing of paper or electronic checks, over the counter withdrawals, ATM Card or Check Card withdrawals, account transfers from the account, ACH debit transactions and debit wire transfers; provided that, upon any written waiver from the Bank of all then-outstanding Event(s) of Default or the end of the Trigger Event in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and resultant conversion/reversion of each Springing DOF Account to a Collection Account, the provisions of the sentence shall promptly cease to apply to such account.
(d) All items or amounts which are remitted or otherwise delivered by or for the benefit of a Borrower to Bank on account of partial or full payment of, or with respect to, any Collateral shall, on a daily basis, in accordance with Bank’s standard procedures and practices, be deposited to such Borrower’s Collection Account(s) maintained at Bank so long as no Event of Default nor the Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing.

Each Borrower agrees that Bank shall not be liable for any loss or damage which such Borrower may suffer as a result of Bank’s processing of items or its exercise of any other rights or remedies under this Agreement, including without limitation indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, loss of revenues or profits, or any claim, demand or action by any third party arising out of or in connection with the processing of items or the exercise of any other rights or remedies under this Agreement. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Bank harmless from and against all such third party claims, demands or actions, and all related expenses or liabilities, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and including claims, damages, fines, expenses, liabilities or causes of action of whatever kind resulting from Bank’s own negligence, except to the extent (but only to the extent) caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.”
