7.8 Notwithstanding that title to the Goods has not passed to the Purchaser under clause 7.1, the Purchaser may, subject to obtaining HEAD’s prior written approval, resell the Goods or any part of them in the name of the Purchaser but only as agent for HEAD and may deliver any Goods so sold to the buyer of those Goods but only in the ordinary course of its business and on terms which will not prejudice HEAD’s ability to obtain any amount paid or due to be paid by the buyer of Goods (Sale Proceeds) and:
(a) any Sale Proceeds must be held by the Purchaser on trust for HEAD and any amounts received by the Purchaser must be banked in a separate bank account relating only to the sale proceeds of any Goods and must be forwarded as soon as possible to HEAD in satisfaction of any amount owed by the Purchaser in respect of the Goods;

(b) the Purchaser fails to make any payment under an Agreement by the relevant Due Date.
7.10 In the event that the Purchaser processes, incorporates, transforms or installs the Goods (or any portion of them) into any other goods, buildings or land then the Purchaser must:
(a) keep and maintain records in relation to the Goods which have been processed, incorporated, transformed or installed and the goods, buildings or land in which the Goods have been processed, incorporated, transformed or installed; and
(b) hold a proportion of any payment (Relevant Proportion) received by the Purchaser for those goods, buildings or land on trust for HEAD and the Purchaser acknowledges that the Relevant Proportion must be not less than the dollar value of the portion of the Goods processed, incorporated, transformed or installed.
7.11 If an Insolvency Event occurs in respect of the Purchaser then, without the need for notice or demand by HEAD, the Purchaser acknowledges that any sale or purported sale of the Goods will not be in the ordinary course of the Purchaser’s business and the proceeds of any Goods sold in those circumstances will, to the extent of any money owing by the Purchaser to HEAD, be held on trust for HEAD by the administrator, controller or similar officer as the case may be, or if there is no such officer, by the Purchaser.
8. PPSA
