All such security interests and mortgages shall be granted pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent and shall constitute valid and enforceable perfected security interests and mortgages superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons and subject to no other Liens except for Permitted Liens. The Additional Security Documents or instruments related thereto shall have been duly recorded or filed in such manner and in such places as are required by law to establish, perfect, preserve and protect the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent required to be granted pursuant to the Additional Security Documents and all taxes, fees and other charges payable in connection therewith shall have been paid in full.

Furthermore, the Borrower shall cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent such opinions of counsel and other related documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to assure themselves that this Section 7.11 has been complied with. (c) The Borrower agrees that each action required above by this Section 7.11 shall be completed as soon as possible, but in no event later than 90 days after such action is either requested to be taken by the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks or required to be taken by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.11; provided that in no event shall the Borrower be required to take any action, other than using its reasonable efforts, to obtain consents from third parties with respect to its compliance with this Section 7.11.
Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents (or any other officer of the Company designated in writing by or pursuant to authority of the Board of Directors and delivered to the Trustee from time to time). The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. The Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 3.01, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to, Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating, (a) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.01, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; (b) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 3.01, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and (c) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles or other customary exceptions. If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture in accordance with the Board Resolutions will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties, obligations, responsibilities or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary, unless the Trustee reasonably determines otherwise, for the Company to deliver the Officer’s Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.01 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.09, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the grant of any Mortgage on Mortgaged Property of the Credit Parties (or any increase, extension or renewal of any Loans or Commitments at a time when any Mortgaged Property is subject to a Mortgage) shall be subject to (and conditioned upon) the prior delivery to the Collateral Agent of “life-of-loan” Federal Emergency Management Agency standard flood hazard determinations with respect to each Mortgaged Property and, to the extent any improved Mortgaged Property is located in an area determined by the Federal Emergency Agency (or any successor agency) to be a special flood hazard area, (i) delivery by the Collateral Agent to Lead Borrower of a notice of special flood hazard area status and flood disaster assistance and, if such notice is delivered to Lead Borrower at least two (2) Business Days prior to such grant, increase, extension or renewal, a duly executed acknowledgment of receipt thereof by Lead Borrower and (ii) evidence of flood insurance as required by Section 9.03 hereof. Notwithstanding anything in any Credit Document to the contrary, if the Collateral Agent or any Lender is not satisfied with the results of any flood insurance due diligence or flood insurance compliance or any of the deliveries referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, and determines it is in its best interest not to require a Mortgage on any Mortgaged Property, the Credit Parties shall not be required to grant a Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property in favor of such Person or otherwise comply with respect to such Person with the provisions of the Credit Documents relating to Mortgages.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities on behalf of the Trustee. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Security Registrar or Paying Agent to deal with the Company and its Affiliates. If an officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates such Security such Security shall be valid nevertheless.
