5.1 Borrower shall instruct all customers to remit payments on Receivables (“Customers”) either to (i) a lockbox controlled by Lender and maintained at Borrower’s expense (the “Lockbox”),  or (ii) a bank account at a bank as may be selected by you and be acceptable to us ( the “Blocked Account Bank”), which Bank shall have entered into a deposit account control agreement with Borrower and Lender in form  and  substance  satisfactory  to  Lender  directing  such  Blocked  Account  Bank  to  transfer  funds remitted by Customers to the Lockbox (the “Blocked  Account”).   All funds remitted to such Blocked Accounts shall immediately become Lender’s property and Borrower shall obtain the agreement by such Blocked  Account  Bank  to  waive  any  offset  rights  against  such  funds.    We  do  not  assume  any responsibility for such blocked account arrangement, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to remittances accepted by any Blocked Account Bank thereunder.   As to all Receivables for which Borrower receives payment by directly withdrawing funds from a joint or escrow account of Borrower and one of its Customers (or an account of such Customer with respect to which Borrower otherwise has withdrawal rights) (a “Direct Withdrawal Payment”), Borrower shall as promptly as reasonably practicable, make such withdrawal and deposit such amounts in the Blocked Account.  Borrower will, at its own expense and on Lender's behalf, collect as Lender's property and in trust  for  Lender  all  Direct  Withdrawal  Payments,  and  any  other  payments  and  prepayments  on Receivables which for any reason are not remitted by Customers to the Lockbox or Blocked Account, and shall not commingle such collections with Borrower's own funds. As to all moneys so collected, including all Direct Withdrawal Payments and prepayments by Customers, Borrower shall on the day received remit all such collections to Lender in the form received by depositing such collections into the Blocked Account.

In the event that Lender shall permit termination of this Agreement by Borrower other than as provided herein, as a condition to such termination, Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional liquidated damages in addition to performance of any other conditions to such termination.  No termination of this Agreement, however, shall relieve or discharge Borrower of its duties, obligations and covenants hereunder until such time as all Obligations have been paid in full, and the continuing security interest in Receivables and other Collateral granted to Lender hereunder or under any other agreement shall remain in effect until such Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and any provision hereof that by its terms survives termination of this Agreement  shall survive pursuant to such terms. No provision hereof shall be modified or amended orally or by course of conduct but only by a written instrument expressly referring hereto signed by both parties.

Notwithstanding any provision herein or in any related document, Lender shall never be entitled to receive, collect, or apply, as interest on the Loan Account, any amount in excess of the maximum rate of interest ("Maximum  Rate")  permitted to be charged from time to time by applicable law (if such law imposes any maximum rate), and in the event Lender ever receives, collects, or applies as interest, any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, such amount shall be deemed and treated as a partial prepayment of the principal of the Loan Account; and, if the principal of the Loan Account and all other of Lender's charges other than interest are paid in full, any remaining excess shall be paid to Borrower.
