Grant of a Security Interest It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 2 hereof be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser and not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, if, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller, then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller, and (b) (i) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the applicable jurisdiction; (ii) the conveyance provided for in Section 2 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, and all amounts payable to the holder of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof, and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including, without limitation, all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account or, if established, the REO Account (each as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (iii) the assignment to the Trustee of the interest of the Purchaser as contemplated by Section 1 hereof shall be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereunder; (iv) the possession by the Trustee or any of its agents, including, without limitation, the Custodian, of the Mortgage Notes, and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be possession by the secured party for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-313 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the applicable jurisdiction; and (v) notifications to persons (other than the Trustee) holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons (other than the Trustee) holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Security Interest (a) As security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full of the Secured Obligations, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, its permitted successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest (the “Security Interest”) in all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under any and all of the following assets now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest (collectively, the “Article 9 Collateral”): (i) all Accounts; (ii) all Chattel Paper; (iii) all Documents; (iv) all Equipment; (v) all General Intangibles, including all Intellectual Property; (vi) all Instruments; (vii) all Inventory; (viii) all other Goods; (ix) all Investment Property; (x) all Letter-of-Credit Rights; (xi) all Commercial Tort Claims specifically described on Schedule III hereto, as such schedule may be supplemented from time to time pursuant to Section 3.04; (xii) all books and records pertaining to the Article 9 Collateral; and (xiii) to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds and products of any and all of the foregoing and all Supporting Obligations, collateral security and guarantees given by any Person with respect to any of the foregoing; provided that none of “Article 9 Collateral”, any other term defined in the preceding paragraph or any term defined by reference to the UCC shall include, and in no event shall the Security Interest attach to, any Excluded Asset; provided further that Proceeds, substitutions or replacements of Excluded Assets shall not be subject to the preceding proviso unless such Proceeds, substitutions or replacements would themselves constitute Excluded Assets. (b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing statements (including fixture filings) and continuation statements with respect to the Article 9 Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto that (i) describe the collateral covered thereby in any manner that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines is necessary or advisable to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Article 9 Collateral granted under this Agreement, including indicating the Collateral as “all assets” of such Grantor or words of similar effect, and (ii) contain the information required by Article 9 of the UCC or the analogous legislation of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including (A) whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor (if required) and (B) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient description of the real property to which such Article 9 Collateral relates. Each Grantor agrees to provide such information to the Administrative Agent promptly upon request. The Administrative Agent is further authorized to file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office) such documents as may be reasonably necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the Security Interest in Article 9 Collateral consisting of registered, issued or applied for Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights granted by each Grantor and naming any Grantor or the Grantors as debtors and the Administrative Agent as secured party. (c) The Security Interest and the security interest granted pursuant to Article II are granted as security only and shall not subject the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Collateral.
Pledge and Grant of Security Interest As collateral security for all of the Obligations (as defined in Section 3 hereof), the Pledgor hereby pledges and assigns to the Collateral Agent, and grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, a continuing security interest in and Lien on the Pledgor’s right, title and interest in and to the following (collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”): (a) the shares of stock, partnership interests, member interests and other equity interests described in Schedule I hereto (the “Pledged Shares”), whether or not evidenced or represented by any stock certificate, certificated security or other instrument, issued by the Borrower described in such Schedule I (the “Pledged Issuers”), the certificates representing the Pledged Shares, all options and other rights, contractual or otherwise, in respect thereof and all dividends, distributions, cash, instruments, investment property and other property (including but not limited to, any stock dividend and any distribution in connection with a stock split) from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Pledged Shares; (b) all additional shares of stock, partnership interests, member interests or other equity interests from time to time acquired by the Pledgor, of the Pledged Issuers, the certificates representing such additional shares, all options and other rights, contractual or otherwise, in respect thereof and all dividends, distributions, cash, instruments, investment property and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such additional shares, interests or equity; (c) all security entitlements of the Pledgor in any and all of the foregoing; and (d) all proceeds (including proceeds of proceeds) of any and all of the foregoing; in each case, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the Pledgor and howsoever its interest therein may arise or appear (whether by ownership, security interest, Lien, claim or otherwise).
Security Interest Matters This Agreement creates a valid and continuing “security interest” (as defined in the Relevant UCC) in the Receivables in favor of the Trust, which security interest is prior to all other Liens and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor. The Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” or “electronic chattel paper” (each as defined in the Relevant UCC). The Depositor owns and has good and marketable title to the Receivables free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person. The Depositor has caused or will cause prior to the Closing Date the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing offices in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law necessary to perfect the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Trust under this Agreement. Other than the security interest granted to the Trust under this Agreement, the Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables. The Depositor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Depositor that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Trust under this Agreement or that has been terminated. The Depositor is not aware of any material judgment or tax lien filings against the Depositor. The security interest of the Seller in each Financed Vehicle has been validly assigned by the Depositor to the Trust. Neither the Depositor nor a custodian or vaulting agent thereof has communicated, nor will they communicate, an “authoritative copy” (as defined in the Relevant UCC) of any Receivable to any Person other than the Servicer, the Trust or the Indenture Trustee.
Perfected First Priority Liens (a) This Agreement is effective to create, as collateral security for the Obligations of such U.S. Grantor, valid and enforceable Liens on such U.S. Grantor’s Security Collateral in favor of the ABL Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, except as to enforcement, as may be limited by applicable domestic or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. (b) Except with regard to (i) Liens (if any) on Specified Assets and (ii) any rights in favor of the United States government as required by law (if any), upon the completion of the Filings and, with respect to Instruments, Chattel Paper and Documents, upon the earlier of such Filing or the delivery to and continuing possession by the ABL Collateral Agent, the applicable Collateral Representative or any Additional Agent, as applicable, in accordance with any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, of all Instruments, Chattel Paper and Documents a security interest in which is perfected by possession, and upon obtaining and maintenance of “control” (as described in the Code) by the ABL Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the applicable Collateral Representative or any Additional Agent, as applicable (or their respective agents appointed for purposes of perfection), in accordance with any applicable Intercreditor Agreement of the Collateral Proceeds Account, all Letter-of-Credit Rights and all Electronic Chattel Paper a security interest in which is perfected by “control,” and in the case of Commercial Tort Actions (other than such Commercial Tort Actions listed on Schedule 6 on the date of this Agreement), upon the taking of the actions required by subsection 5.2.12, the Liens created pursuant to this Agreement will constitute valid Liens on and (to the extent provided herein) perfected security interests in such U.S. Grantor’s Security Collateral in favor of the ABL Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and will be prior to all other Liens of all other Persons, in each case other than Liens permitted to have priority pursuant to subsection 8.2 of the ABL Credit Agreement (and subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement), and enforceable as such as against all other Persons other than Ordinary Course Transferees, except to the extent that the recording of an assignment or other transfer of title to the ABL Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent, the applicable Collateral Representative or any Additional Agent, (in accordance with any applicable Intercreditor Agreement) or the recording of other applicable documents in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office may be necessary for perfection or enforceability, and except as to enforcement, as may be limited by applicable domestic or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. As used in this subsection 4.2.2(b), the following terms shall have the following meanings:
Security Interest/Priority This Security Agreement creates a valid security interest in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in the Collateral of such Obligor and, when properly perfected by filing, shall constitute a valid perfected security interest in such Collateral, to the extent such security can be perfected by filing under the UCC, free and clear of all Liens except for Permitted Liens.
Grant of Security Interest in Collateral As an inducement for the Secured Parties to extend the loans as evidenced by the Debentures and to secure the complete and timely payment, performance and discharge in full, as the case may be, of all of the Obligations, each Debtor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably pledges, grants and hypothecates to the Secured Parties a security interest in and to, a lien upon and a right of set-off against all of their respective right, title and interest of whatsoever kind and nature in and to, the Collateral (a “Security Interest” and, collectively, the “Security Interests”).
Security Interest in Collateral The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents create legal and valid Liens on all of the Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and such Liens constitute perfected and continuing Liens on the Collateral, securing the Secured Obligations, enforceable against the applicable Loan Party and all third parties, and having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral except in the case of (a) Permitted Encumbrances, to the extent any such Permitted Encumbrances would have priority over the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to any applicable law or agreement and (b) Liens perfected only by possession (including possession of any certificate of title) to the extent the Administrative Agent has not obtained or does not maintain possession of such Collateral.

(c) In the event that the Issuer at any time issues in respect of any Common Stock constituting Collateral hereunder, or comprising financial assets underlying security entitlements constituting Collateral hereunder, any additional or substitute shares of capital stock of any class, Pledgor shall immediately pledge and deliver to Secured Party in accordance with Section 5(c) all such shares or security entitlements in respect thereof as additional Collateral hereunder. (d) The Security Interests are granted as security only and shall not subject Secured Party to, or transfer or in any way affect or modify, any obligation or liability of Pledgor or the Issuer with respect to any of the Collateral or any transaction in connection therewith. (e) The parties hereto expressly agree that all rights, assets and property at any time held in or credited to the Collateral Account shall be treated as financial assets (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC).
