Collection of Accounts Receivable At the Closing, the Seller will turn over to the Buyers, for collection only, the accounts receivable of the Station owing to the Seller as of the close of business on the Closing Date. A schedule of such accounts receivable will be delivered by the Seller to the Buyers on the Closing Date or as soon thereafter as possible. The Buyers agree to use commercially reasonable efforts in the ordinary course of business (but without responsibility to institute legal or collection proceedings) to collect such accounts receivable during the 120-day period following the Closing Date, and will remit all payments received on such accounts during each calendar month during this 120-day period on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day together with an accounting of all payments received within such period. The Buyers shall have the sole right to collect such accounts receivable during such one hundred twenty (120) day period. In the event the Buyers receive monies during the 120-day period following the Closing Date from an advertiser who, after the Closing Date, is advertising over any of the Station, and that advertiser was included among the accounts receivable as of the Closing Date, the Buyer shall apply said monies to the oldest outstanding balance due on the particular account, except in the case of a "disputed" account receivable. For purposes of this Section 6(d), a "disputed" account receivable means one which the account debtor refuses to pay because he asserts that the money is not owed or the amount is incorrect. In the case of such a disputed account, the Buyers shall immediately return the account to the Seller prior to expiration of the 120-day period following the Closing Date. If the Buyers return a disputed account to the Seller, the Buyers shall have no further responsibility for its collection and may accept payment from the account debtor for advertising carried on any of the Station after the Closing Date. At the end of the 120-day period following the Closing Date, the Buyers will turn back to the Seller all of the accounts receivable of the Station as of the Closing Date owing to the Seller which have not yet been collected, and the Buyers will thereafter have no further responsibility with respect to the collection of such receivables. During the 120-day period following the Closing Date, the Buyers shall afford the Seller reasonable access to the accounts receivable "aging list." The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Buyers are acting as its collection agent hereunder for the sole benefit of the Seller and that Buyers have accepted such responsibility for the accommodation of the Seller. The Buyer shall not have any duty to inquire as to the form, manner of execution or validity of any item, document, instrument or notice deposited, received or delivered in connection with such collection efforts, nor shall the Buyers have any duty to inquire as to the identity, authority or rights of the persons who executed the same. The Seller shall indemnify Buyers and hold them harmless from and against any judgments, expenses (including attorney's fees) costs or liabilities which the Buyers may incur or sustain as a result of or by reason of such collection efforts.
