(a)          The Debtor will pay, or cause to be paid, to the Secured Party (taking into account any applicable grace periods) the Obligations as and when the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and will promptly perform all of the Debtor’s obligations under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

 

(b)          Without providing at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Secured Party, the Debtor will not change the state of his principal residence.

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.
