• Rights in Collateral; Priority of Liens Borrower and each other Loan Party own the property granted by it as Collateral under the Collateral Documents, free and clear of any and all Liens in favor of third parties. Upon the proper filing of UCC financing statements, and the taking of the other actions required by Lender, the Liens granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents will constitute valid and enforceable first, prior and perfected (to the extent that Liens on the Collateral can be perfected by the filing of UCC financing statements) Liens on the Collateral in favor of Lender.

• Construction Liens (1) If any lien under the Construction Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. C30, or any like statute shall at any time be registered against the Demised Premises by reason of work done or materials supplied for or to the Tenant or for or to anyone holding an interest in the Demised Premises through the Tenant or if the Landlord is given notice of any such lien, the lien shall be discharged or vacated from the title to the Demised Premises by the Tenant within ninety (90) days after the lien is filed or sooner if the Demised Premises are in jeopardy of forfeiture or sale by the party performing the Work in respect of which the lien was filed even if the validity of the lien is being contested, if requested by the Landlord, or by a Leasehold Mortgagee. If the Tenant wishes to contest the amount or validity of any lien and has so notified the Landlord and if the Tenant has deposited with the Landlord or paid into court to the credit of the lien action the amount of the lien plus a reasonable amount for costs and has registered a discharge of such lien, the Tenant may defer payment of such lien for a period of time sufficient to enable the Tenant to contest the lien with due diligence, provided always that the Demised Premises shall not thereby become liable to forfeiture or sale. (2) The Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge or vacate any construction lien if in the Landlord's judgment, exercised reasonably, the Demised Premises become liable to immediate forfeiture or sale or the Demised Premises is otherwise in jeopardy, and any amount paid by the Landlord in so doing, shall be reimbursed to the Landlord by the Tenant as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after demand. If a construction lien is not discharged and vacated within three (3) months of registration, notwithstanding that the lien may be contested, the Landlord shall have the right, on written notice to the Tenant, to terminate the Lease. (3) Nothing herein contained shall authorize Tenant, or imply any consent or agreement or request on the part of the Landlord to subject the Landlord's estate or interest in the Demised Premises and/or the Building to any construction lien or any other lien of any nature or kind whatsoever. Notice is hereby given to all parties that the Landlord expressly refuses and denies any consent or agreement or request to permit their estate or interest in the Demised Premises and/or the Building to be subject to any construction lien or other lien of any nature or kind whatsoever without the express written agreement of the Landlord to this effect. Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord is not, and should not be held to be, an owner as that term is defined in the Construction Act with respect to the construction of any work on the Demised Premises by, or on behalf of Tenant.

• Title to Properties; Priority of Liens Each Borrower and Subsidiary has good and marketable title to (or valid leasehold interests in) all of its Real Estate, and good title to all of its personal Property, including all Property reflected in any financial statements delivered to Agent or Lenders, in each case free of Liens except Permitted Liens. Each Borrower and Subsidiary has paid and discharged all lawful claims that, if unpaid, could become a Lien on its Properties, other than Permitted Liens. All Liens of Agent in the Collateral are duly perfected, first priority Liens, subject only to Permitted Liens that are expressly allowed to have priority over Agent’s Liens.

As used in this subsection 4.2.2(b), the following terms shall have the following meanings:

• Priority of Liens (a) Notwithstanding (i) the date, time, method, manner, or order of grant, attachment, or perfection of any Liens granted to the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties in respect of all or any portion of the Common Collateral or of any Liens granted to any New First Lien Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Secured Parties in respect of all or any portion of the Common Collateral, and regardless of how any such Lien was acquired (whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise), (ii) the order or time of filing or recordation of any document or instrument for perfecting the Liens in favor of the ABL Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Collateral Agent (or the ABL Secured Parties or any of the New First Lien Secured Parties) on any Common Collateral, (iii) any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code, the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law, or of any of the ABL Documents or any of the New First Lien Documents, or (iv) whether the ABL Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Collateral Agent, in each case, either directly or through agents, holds possession of, or has control over, all or any part of the Common Collateral, the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, and the New First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the New First Lien Secured Parties, hereby agree that: (1) any Lien in respect of all or any portion of the Common Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the New First Lien Collateral Agent or the New First Lien Secured Parties that secures all or any portion of the New First Lien Obligations shall in all respects be junior and subordinate to all Liens granted to the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties on the Common Collateral; and (2) any Lien in respect of all or any portion of the Common Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party that secures all or any portion of the ABL Obligations shall in all respects be senior and prior to all Liens granted to the New First Lien Collateral Agent or the New First Lien Secured Parties on the Common Collateral. The New First Lien Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each New First Lien Secured Party, expressly agrees that any Lien purported to be granted on any Common Collateral as security for the ABL Obligations shall be deemed to be and shall be deemed to remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any New First Lien Obligations for all purposes regardless of whether the Lien purported to be granted is found to be improperly granted, improperly perfected, preferential, a fraudulent conveyance or legally or otherwise deficient in any manner. (b) The ABL Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that, concurrently herewith, the New First Lien Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and the New First Lien Secured Parties, has been granted Liens upon all of the Common Collateral in which the ABL Collateral Agent has been granted Liens and the ABL Collateral Agent hereby consents thereto. The subordination of Liens by the New First Lien Collateral Agent in favor of the ABL Collateral Agent as set forth herein shall not be deemed to subordinate the respective Liens of the New First Lien Collateral Agent or the New First Lien Secured Parties to Liens securing any other Obligations other than the ABL Obligations (subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional General Intercreditor Agreement).

• Mortgaged Properties No Loan Party that is an owner of Mortgaged Property shall take any action that is reasonably likely to be the basis for termination, revocation or denial of any insurance coverage required to be maintained under such Loan Party’s respective Mortgage or that could be the basis for a defense to any claim under any Insurance Policy maintained in respect of the Premises, and each Loan Party shall otherwise comply in all material respects with all Insurance Requirements in respect of the Premises; provided, however, that each Loan Party may, at its own expense and after written notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) contest the applicability or enforceability of any such Insurance Requirements by appropriate legal proceedings, the prosecution of which does not constitute a basis for cancellation or revocation of any insurance coverage required under this Section 5.04 or (ii) cause the Insurance Policy containing any such Insurance Requirement to be replaced by a new policy complying with the provisions of this Section 5.04.

• Permitted Liens; Title Insurance Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy or a “marked up” commitment, in each case with escrow instructions and binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record specifically identified in the Title Policy; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property; (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a Crossed Underlying Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, and (g) condominium declarations of record and identified in such Title Policy, provided that none of clauses (a) through (g), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or principal use of the Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). For purposes of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon. Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the second preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller, nor to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the Mortgaged Property shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.

• Title, Perfection and Priority Such Grantor has good and valid rights in or the power to transfer the Collateral and title to the Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant a security interest hereunder, free and clear of all Liens except for Liens permitted under Section 4.1(e), and has full power and authority to grant to the Collateral Agent the security interest in such Collateral pursuant hereto. When financing statements have been filed in the appropriate offices against such Grantor in the locations listed on Exhibit H, the Collateral Agent will have a fully perfected first priority security interest in that Collateral of the Grantor in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, subject only to Liens permitted under Section 4.1(e).

• New Collateral Locations Borrower may open any new location within the continental United States provided Borrower (a) gives Lender thirty (30) days prior written notice of the intended opening of any such new location and (b) executes and delivers, or causes to be executed and delivered, to Lender such agreements, documents, and instruments as Lender may deem reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interests in the Collateral at such location, including UCC financing statements.

• Creation, Perfection and Priority of Liens The execution and delivery of the Collateral Documents by Loan Parties and Sponsors, together with (i) the actions taken on or prior to the date hereof pursuant to subsections 4.1, 4.2, 6.8 and 6.9 and (ii) the delivery to Administrative Agent of any Pledged Collateral not delivered to Administrative Agent at the time of execution and delivery of the applicable Collateral Document (all of which Pledged Collateral has been so delivered) are effective to create in favor of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders, as security for the respective Secured Obligations (as defined in the applicable Collateral Document in respect of any Collateral), a valid and perfected First Priority Lien on all of the Collateral, and all filings and other actions necessary or desirable to perfect and maintain the perfection and First Priority status of such Liens have been duly made or taken and remain in full force and effect, other than the filing of any UCC financing statements or Mortgages delivered to Administrative Agent for filing or recording, as applicable (but not yet filed or recorded) and the periodic filing of UCC continuation statements in respect of UCC financing statements filed by or on behalf of Administrative Agent.
