Lien Releases; Care of Collateral Secured Parties authorize Agent to release any Lien with respect to any Collateral (a) upon Full Payment of the Obligations; (b) that is the subject of an Asset Disposition which Borrowers certify in writing to Agent is a Permitted Asset Disposition or a Lien which Borrowers certify is a Permitted Lien entitled to priority over Agent’s Liens (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate without further inquiry); (c) that does not constitute a material part of the Collateral; or (d) with the written consent of all Lenders. Secured Parties authorize Agent to subordinate its Liens to any Purchase Money Lien permitted hereunder. Agent shall have no obligation to assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by a Borrower, or is cared for, protected or insured, nor to assure that Agent’s Liens have been properly created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral.
Lien Releases Except in cases where either (a) a release of a portion of the Mortgaged Property was contemplated at origination of the Mortgage Loan and such portion was not considered material for purposes of underwriting the Mortgage Loan, (b) release is conditioned upon the satisfaction of certain underwriting and legal requirements or the payment of a release price, or (c) a defeasance is affected in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents, the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage does not require the holder thereof to release all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage except upon payment in full of all amounts due under such Mortgage Loan.
Releases of Collateral (i) If any Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Obligor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, then the Administrative Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Obligor, shall promptly execute and deliver to such Obligor all releases and other documents, and take such other action, reasonably necessary for the release of the Liens created hereby or by any other Collateral Document on such Collateral. (ii) The Administrative Agent may release any of the Pledged Equity from this Agreement or may substitute any of the Pledged Equity for other Pledged Equity without altering, varying or diminishing in any way the force, effect, lien, pledge or security interest of this Agreement as to any Pledged Equity not expressly released or substituted, and this Agreement shall continue as a first priority lien on all Pledged Equity not expressly released or substituted.
Specified Releases of Collateral Subject to Section 12.04, Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Security Documents at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Agreements, including the Intercreditor Agreement, or as provided hereby. Upon the request of the Company pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate certifying that all conditions precedent hereunder have been met and without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Guarantors will be entitled to releases of assets included in the Collateral from the Liens securing the obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees under any one or more of the following circumstances:
Collateral Releases The Lenders hereby empower and authorize the Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrower on their behalf any agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect any releases of Collateral which shall be permitted by the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document or which shall otherwise have been approved by the Required Lenders (or, if required by the terms of Section 8.2, all of the Lenders) in writing.
Releases of Liens Upon any release, sale or disposition of Senior Collateral permitted pursuant to the terms of the Senior Documents (excluding any sale or other disposition that is not conducted in a commercially reasonable manner (as if it were being conducted by a secured creditor in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code of the applicable jurisdiction) or is expressly prohibited by the Junior Documents as in effect on the date hereof (unless such sale or disposition is consummated in connection with an Enforcement Action or consummated after the institution of any Insolvency Proceeding)) that results in the release of the Senior Lien on any Senior Collateral, the Junior Lien on such Senior Collateral (excluding any portion of the Proceeds of such Senior Collateral remaining after the Senior Obligations Payment Date occurs) shall be automatically and unconditionally released (other than any release on the Proceeds thereof (which Proceeds shall be subject to the priorities set forth in Section 2.1 and shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.1)) with no further consent or action of any Person; provided that, other than with respect to an aggregate amount not in excess of $5,000,000 for all Enforcement Actions taken so long as this Agreement is in effect, no such release shall occur without the consent of the Junior Representative in the case of any Enforcement Action as to Collateral the net cash Proceeds of the sale or disposition of which has not been applied to repay (and, in the case of revolving loans (including swingline loans), to permanently reduce commitments with respect to) the Senior Obligations. The Junior Representative shall promptly execute and deliver such release documents and instruments and shall take such further actions as the Senior Representative shall request to evidence any release of the Junior Lien described in this Section 4.2. The Junior Representative hereby appoints the Senior Representative and any officer or duly authorized person of the Senior Representative, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power of attorney in the place and stead of the Junior Representative and in the name of the Junior Representative or in the Senior Representative’s own name, from time to time, in the Senior Representative’s sole discretion, for the purposes of carrying out the terms of this Section 4.2, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4.2, including, without limitation, any financing statements, endorsements, assignments, releases or other documents or instruments of transfer (which appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable). In any sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral by the Senior Representative, the Senior Representative shall conduct such sale or other disposition in a commercially reasonable manner. The Senior Representative acknowledges and agrees that it is the Senior Representative’s intention that, during the time it is conducting any sale, disposition or Enforcement Action, the Senior Representative will use reasonable efforts to regularly advise the Junior Representative of the status of any sale, disposition or Enforcement Action, and to consult with the Junior Representative from time to time with respect to the various options available to the Senior Representative with respect to any such sale, disposition or Enforcement Action of the Collateral and any and all offers which may be made from time to time by prospective purchasers of the Collateral. Failure of the Senior Representative to so advise or consult the Junior Representative shall not, by itself, deem any action taken by the Senior Representative to be unreasonable. To the extent that the Senior Secured Parties (i) have released any Lien on the Collateral and any such Lien is later reinstated or (ii) obtain any new first priority Liens, then the Junior Secured Parties shall be at the time of such reinstatement granted a second priority Lien on any such Collateral consistent with the arrangements in effect on the date hereof and subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

Additionally, the Lenders (and each other Secured Party by accepting the benefits of the Collateral) hereby irrevocably agree that the Guarantors shall be released from the Guarantees upon consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary, or otherwise becoming an Excluded Subsidiary, in each case, solely to the extent such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary or otherwise becoming an Excluded Subsidiary is not prohibited by this Agreement, or, in the case of a Successor Holdings, the prior Holdings shall be released in accordance with the conditions set forth in Section 7.11.
