Grant of Security Interests In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.9, each Lender may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to Agent or (B) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender’s Indebtedness or equity securities, by notice to Agent; provided, however, that no such holder or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with clause (b) above), shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder.
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).
Grant of Security Interest All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.14(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.
Grant of Security Interest/Remedies To secure its obligations under this Agreement and to the extent Seller delivers the Collateral Requirement, as applicable, hereunder, Seller hereby grants to Buyer, as the secured party, a first priority security interest in, and lien on (and right of setoff against), and assignment of, all such Collateral Requirement posted with Buyer in the form of cash or Letter of Credit and any and all proceeds resulting therefrom or the liquidation thereof, whether now or hereafter held by, on behalf of, or for the benefit of, Buyer. Within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the Collateral Requirement, Seller agrees to take such action as Buyer reasonably requires in order to perfect a first-priority security interest in, and lien on (and right of setoff against), such Collateral Requirement and any and all proceeds resulting therefrom or from the liquidation thereof. Upon or any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, an Early Termination Date or an occasion provided for in this Agreement where Buyer is authorized to retain all or a portion of the Collateral Requirement, Buyer may do any one or more of the following: (a) exercise any of the rights and remedies of a secured party with respect to the Collateral Requirement, as applicable, including any such rights and remedies under Law then in effect; (b) exercise its rights of setoff against any and all property of Seller in the possession of the Buyer or Buyer’s agent; (c) draw on any outstanding Letter of Credit issued for its benefit or retain any cash deposit; and (d) liquidate the Collateral Requirement then held by or for the benefit of Buyer free from any claim or right of any nature whatsoever of Seller, including any equity or right of purchase or redemption by Seller. Buyer shall apply the proceeds of the collateral realized upon the exercise of any such rights or remedies to reduce Seller’s obligations under the Agreement (Seller remaining liable for any amounts owing to Buyer after such application), subject to the Buyer’s obligation to return any surplus proceeds remaining after such obligations are satisfied in full.

Impairment of Security Interests Take or omit to take any action, which might or would have the result of materially impairing the security interests in favor of the Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral or grant to any Person (other than the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself and the Lenders pursuant to the Security Documents) any interest whatsoever in the Collateral, except for Liens permitted under Section 11.2 and asset sales permitted under Section 11.5.
