Lender makes this agreement as to the DACA as “Secured Party” and as “Depository Bank” under the DACA. Each of Lender (in its capacity as Secured Party and Depository Bank) and Purchaser (in its capacity as Borrower) hereby waives the notice requirements set forth in the DACA regarding termination thereof, subject to the terms and conditions of this letter agreement.
     Seller and Purchaser agree that any other agreements, instruments, or writings regarding any of their respective deposit accounts at Lender and any lockbox or other bank products or services provided by Lender (other than the DACA) shall remain in full force and effect until amended, terminated, or superseded by agreement between Purchaser and Lender, and Seller and Purchaser shall continue to abide by and comply therewith, notwithstanding the agreements set forth in this Agreement, until such agreements are terminated in accordance with their terms. At Purchaser and Seller’s request, Lender agrees that it will continue (1) to operate the Lockbox and to process collections delivered thereto in accordance with the Lockbox Agreement in the manner which existed immediately before the Effective Date; and (2) from and after the Effective Date, and following receipt by Jones Day of the Lender Payment, Lender will cooperate with Seller and Purchaser to transfer any funds on deposit in the USA Account as Purchaser may hereafter instruct Lender in writing.
     Purchaser and Seller agree to pay Lender the fees and costs for such services in accordance with the Lockbox Agreement and the other standing agreements relating to the Lockbox and the Purchaser’s Account or, if no provision for such fees and costs are provided for such agreements, on customary and standard terms and rates offered by Lender to other customers which are of similar size and standing as Seller. After the Effective Date, any of Seller, Purchaser, and Lender may, by not less than 10 days’ prior written notice to the other parties, terminate any arrangements set forth in this Section F, unless other written agreements regarding such services have been agreed to, in which case such other written agreements shall control the rights each party has to terminate such arrangements.

     Seller and Purchaser each agrees that, upon the Effective Date and after giving effect to all transactions contemplated in this letter agreement, each of them releases Lender and its affiliates and subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents, and representatives as well as their respective successors and assigns from any and all claims, obligations, rights, causes of action, and liabilities, of whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, whether foreseen or unforeseen, arising on or before the date hereof, which either of them ever had, now have, or hereafter can, shall or may have for, upon or by reason of
