(a) any amount paid by the buyer of such Goods to the Customer (Sale Proceeds) must be held by the Customer on trust for the Company and banked in a separate bank account relating only to the sale proceeds of any Goods and shall be forwarded as soon as possible to the Company in satisfaction of any amount owed by the Customer in respect of the Goods; and
(b) if and when the full amount due to the Company in respect of the Goods has been received by the Company, any further Sale Proceeds may be retained by the Customer.
6.6 If an Insolvency Event occurs in respect of the Customer then, without the need for notice or demand by the Company, the Customer acknowledges that any sale or purported sale of the Goods will not be in the ordinary course of the Customer’s business and the proceeds of any Goods sold in such circumstances will, to the extent of any money owing by the Customer to the Company, be held on trust for the Company by the administrator, controller or similar officer as the case may be, or if there is no such officer, by the Customer.
