If the Grantor does not have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, it will forthwith notify the Administrative Agent of such organizational identification number. (b) If any Collateral of any Grantor is at any time in the possession or control of a warehouseman, bailee or agent, and if the Administrative Agent so requests, such Grantor will (i) notify such warehouseman, bailee or agent of the security interest created hereunder and (ii) instruct such warehouseman, bailee or agent to hold all such Collateral solely for the Administrative Agent's account, subject only to the Administrative Agent's instructions (which shall permit such Collateral to be removed by such Grantor in the ordinary course of business until the Administrative Agent notifies such warehouseman, bailee or agent that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Del Monte Security Agreement 17 (c) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (c), each Grantor will continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due such Grantor under the Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts. In connection with such collections, such Grantor may take (and, at the Administrative Agent's written direction after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) of the Credit Agreement or an Event of Default, will take) such action as such Grantor or the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon written notice to such Grantor of its intention to do so, to notify the account debtors under any Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts of the assignment of such Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts to the Administrative Agent and to direct such account debtors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts, to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done, and to otherwise exercise all rights with respect to such Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts, including, without limitation, those set forth set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. After receipt by any Grantor of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including, without limitation, instruments) received by such Grantor in respect of the Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts of such Grantor shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement) to be deposited in the Cash Collateral Account and either (A) released to such Grantor so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, applied as provided in Section 22(b) and (ii) such Grantor will not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable or amount due on any Assigned Agreement or Related Contract, release wholly or partly any Obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon. No Grantor will permit or consent to the subordination of its right to payment under any of the Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts to any other indebtedness or obligations of the account debtor or obligor thereof unless such Grantor deems such subordination advisable in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment.

No failure on the part of any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
