All deposits in the Collateral Account shall constitute Proceeds of Collateral and shall not constitute payment of the Obligations. If any Accounts are at any time evidenced by tangible chattel paper, promissory notes, trade acceptances or other instruments, the applicable Obligor will, upon the request of the Agent, promptly deliver the same to the Agent appropriately endorsed to the Agent’s order and, regardless of the form of such endorsement, each Obligor hereby waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest and all other notices with respect thereto.
