All checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment or Proceeds of Collateral shall be endorsed by the applicable Obligor to Agent, and, if that endorsement of any such item shall not be made for any reason, Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse the same on such Obligor’s behalf.

“(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or after Systems Day One, for purposes of determining the amount of Loans available for borrowing purposes, the ledger balance in the main Dominion Account as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to the Liabilities at the beginning of the next Business Day. However, solely for purposes of computing interest hereunder, and in addition to Agent’s standard fees and charges relating to the Dominion Account, any application by Agent of such balance to the Liabilities shall be deemed to be made on the same Business Day of application to the Liabilities. If, as a result of such application, a credit balance exists, the balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers and shall be made available to Borrowers as long as no Event of Default exists. Borrowers irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds, and agrees that Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply same against the Liabilities, in such manner as Agent deems advisable, notwithstanding any entry by Agent in its records.
