9.9 If an Insolvency Event occurs in relation to Partner, Partner or any Insolvency Practitioner must immediately conduct a stocktake of all property (including trust property) belonging to CHANNEL PARTNERS in Partner's custody and provide CHANNEL PARTNERS with access to the results of that stocktake.
9.10 Partner irrevocably appoints CHANNEL PARTNERS as its true and lawful attorney to recover any proceeds of Products re-sold under clause 9.4 to any person and to exercise Partner's rights against such person, including, without limitation, the right to re-take possession of those Products. 5
