Collection of Accounts, Proceeds of Collateral Each Borrower agrees that all invoices rendered and other requests made by such Borrower for payment in respect of Accounts shall contain a written statement directing payment in respect of such Accounts to be paid to a lockbox established pursuant to subsection 6.2.4. To expedite collection, each Borrower shall endeavor in the first instance to make collection of its Accounts for Agent. All remittances received by each Borrower on account of Accounts, together with the proceeds of any other Collateral, shall be held as Agent's property, for its benefit and the benefit of Lenders, by such Borrower as trustee of an express trust for Agent's benefit and such Borrower shall immediately deposit same in kind in the Dominion Account. Agent retains the right at all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default to notify Account Debtors that a Borrower's Accounts have been assigned to Agent and to collect such Borrower's Accounts directly in its own name, or in the name of Agent's agent, and to charge the collection costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, to such Borrower.
Collection of Accounts Receivable Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 5.2, prior to the Closing, Seller and its Subsidiaries shall collect all Accounts Receivable in the ordinary course of business, consistent with Seller’s and its Subsidiaries’ past practice with respect to the Acquired Assets. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall have the sole right and authority to collect for its own account all Accounts Receivable and to endorse with the name of Seller and its Subsidiaries any checks or drafts received with respect to any such Accounts Receivable. Seller agrees to deliver promptly to Purchaser all cash, checks or other property received directly or indirectly by Seller and its Subsidiaries with respect to such Accounts Receivable, including, without limitation, any amounts payable as interest thereon. From and after the Closing, unless specifically requested by Purchaser, Seller and its Subsidiaries shall not contact any current or former customer regarding any Accounts Receivable and shall refer promptly to Purchaser all inquiries with respect to any Accounts Receivable. If and to the extent requested by Purchaser, Seller and its Subsidiaries shall take such actions as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to facilitate the collection of any Accounts Receivable; it being agreed and understood that customers of the Acquired Business may also be customers of Seller’s and its Subsidiaries’ businesses with whom Seller and its Subsidiaries may have continuing business relationships. If not collected within 90 days from the Closing Date, Seller and its Subsidiaries shall pay promptly to Purchaser the amount of any uncollected Accounts Receivable in cash, and Purchaser shall assign and transfer back to Seller and its Subsidiaries each such Accounts Receivable for collection by Seller and its Subsidiaries; provided that Seller and its Subsidiaries shall not take any action in connection with such collection that would adversely affect Purchaser’s ongoing business relationship with the customer(s).

Deposit Account Payments Subsection (b) is amended to read as follows:
Establishment of a Lockbox Account, Dominion Account All proceeds of Collateral shall be deposited by Borrower into either (i) a lockbox account, dominion account or such other “blocked account” (“Blocked Accounts”) established at a bank or banks (each such bank, a “Blocked Account Bank”) pursuant to an arrangement with such Blocked Account Bank as may be selected by Borrower and be acceptable to Agent or (ii) depository accounts (“Depository Accounts”) established at Agent for the deposit of such proceeds. Borrower, Agent and each Blocked Account Bank shall enter into a deposit account control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Agent directing such Blocked Account Bank, upon notice from Agent, to transfer such funds so deposited to Agent, either to any account maintained by Agent at said Blocked Account Bank or by wire transfer to appropriate account(s) of Agent. All funds deposited in such Blocked Accounts shall immediately become the property of Agent and Borrower shall obtain the agreement by such Blocked Account Bank to waive any offset rights against the funds so deposited. Neither Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility for such blocked account arrangement, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any Blocked Account Bank thereunder. All deposit accounts and investment accounts of Borrower are set forth on Schedule 4.15(g). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4.15(g), Borrower shall be permitted to deposit checks or other payments received at Borrower’s locations in the Ordinary Course of Business in deposit accounts which may not be subject to a blocked account or similar agreements; provided that, at no time shall Borrower have more than $50,000 in the aggregate in all such accounts which are not Blocked Accounts or Depository Accounts.
Payment of Accounts (a) Each of Company and each Eligible Subsidiary will irrevocably direct all of its present and future Account Debtors and other Persons obligated to make payments constituting Collateral to make such payments directly to the lockboxes maintained by Company and each Eligible Subsidiary (the "Lockboxes") with North Fork Bank, the Royal Bank of Canada or such other financial institution accepted by Laurus in writing as may be selected by Company and/or any Eligible Subsidiary (collectively, the "Lockbox Bank") pursuant to the terms of the documentation acceptable to Laurus. On or prior to the Closing Date, each of Company and each Eligible Subsidiary shall and shall cause the Lockbox Bank to enter into all such documentation acceptable to Laurus pursuant to which, among other things, the Lockbox Bank agrees to: (a) sweep the Lockbox on a daily basis and deposit all checks received therein to an account designated by Laurus in writing and (b) comply only with the instructions or other directions of Laurus concerning the Lockbox. All of Company's and each Eligible Subsidiary's invoices, account statements and other written or oral communications directing, instructing, demanding or requesting payment of any Account of Company or any Eligible Subsidiary or any other amount constituting Collateral shall conspicuously direct that all payments be made to the Lockbox or such other address as Laurus may direct in writing. If, notwithstanding the instructions to Account Debtors, Company or any Eligible Subsidiary receives any payments, Company or such Eligible Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall immediately remit such payments to Laurus in their original form with all necessary endorsements. Until so remitted, Company and each Eligible Subsidiary shall hold all such payments in trust for and as the property of Laurus and shall not commingle such payments with any of its other funds or property.
Notice to Account Debtors Lender may, at any time after an Event of Default, notify the account debtors and obligors of any accounts, chattel paper, negotiable instruments or other evidences of indebtedness to Borrower included in the Property to pay Lender directly. Borrower shall at any time or from time to time upon the request of Lender provide to Lender a current list of all such account debtors and obligors and their addresses.
Lockbox Accounts The names and addresses of all the Lockbox Banks, together with the account numbers of the Lockbox Accounts of the Seller at each Lockbox Bank and the post office box numbers of the lockboxes, are listed on Schedule 6.1(o) (or have been notified to and approved by the Agents in accordance with Section 7.3(d)) and are the only post office boxes and accounts into which Collections of Receivables are deposited or remitted. The Seller has not granted any Person, other than the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as contemplated by this Agreement, control of any lockbox or Lockbox Account, or the right to take control of any such lockbox or Lockbox Account at a future time.
Collection of Accounts; Payments (a) Subject to the following sentence, each Loan Party shall make collection of all of its Accounts and other Collateral for the Agent. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, each Loan Party shall have established a Payment Account and a related lock-box service for collections of its Accounts at the Bank or another Clearing Bank acceptable to the Agent and, in each case, subject to a Blocked Account Agreement and other documentation acceptable to the Agent and shall have instructed each Account Debtor to make all payments directly to such Payment Account or to the address established for such lock-box service and shall provide evidence to the Agent, satisfactory to the Agent, that such instructions have been given. If, notwithstanding such instructions, a Loan Party receives any proceeds of Accounts or if a Loan Party receives any payments on account of any other Collateral or any other payments of any source, it shall immediately (and not less often then daily) deliver such payments to the Agent in their original form or deposit such payments into the applicable Payment Account or to another deposit account from which funds are transferred daily into a Payment Account. Until the occurrence of a Combined Availability Threshold Event or an Event of Default, the Loan Parties shall have sole dominion and control of the transfer of funds from the Payment Account and such lock-box. All collections and other payments received in any such lock-box or Payment Account or directly by a Loan Party or the Agent and all funds in any Payment Account or other deposit account to which such collections or payments are deposited shall, upon the occurrence of a Combined Availability Threshold Event or an Event of Default, be subject to the Agent's sole dominion and control and withdrawals by the applicable Loan Party shall not be permitted until a Cash Control Termination Event occurs. The Agent or the Agent's designee may, at any time after the occurrence of a Combined Availability Threshold Event or an Event of Default and until a Cash Control Termination Event occurs, notify Account Debtors of a Loan Party that the Accounts of such Loan Party have been assigned to the Agent and of the Agent's security interest therein, and may collect them directly and charge the collection costs and expenses to the Borrower's Loan Account as a Revolving Loan. Upon the occurrence of a Combined Availability Threshold Event or an Event of Default and until a Cash Control Termination Event occurs, each Loan Party, at the Agent's request, shall execute and deliver to the Agent such documents as the Agent shall require to grant the Agent access to any post office lock-box in which collections of Accounts of such Loan Party are received, and if any payments are received by any Loan Party, such Loan Party shall receive all payments as the Agent's trustee, and shall immediately deliver all payments in their original form duly endorsed in blank into a Payment Account established for the account of such Loan Party, subject to a Blocked Account Agreement. To the extent that the Agent has dominion and control of any Payment Accounts under the DIP Loan Agreement on the Closing Date, the Agent shall release such control and dominion as long as Combined Availability Threshold Event or an Event of Default does not exist as of the Closing Date.
