After the making of such a request or the giving of any such notification, the Debtor shall hold any proceeds of collection of the Collateral and other Collateral received by the Debtor as trustee for the Secured Party without commingling the same with other funds of the Debtor and shall turn the same over to the Secured Party in the identical form received, together with any necessary endorsements or assignments, for deposit in a special bank account maintained by the Secured Party over which the Secured Party alone has power of withdrawal. In addition, if requested by the Secured Party, the Debtor will immediately notify all account debtors and other persons obligated in respect of Collateral to direct payments to the Secured Party. The Secured Party shall apply the proceeds of collection of the Collateral and other Collateral received by the Secured Party to the Obligations, such proceeds to be applied promptly after final payment in cash or other immediately available funds of the items giving rise to them.
