Maintenance of Security Interests in Vehicles (a) Consistent with the policies and procedures required by this Agreement, the Servicer shall take such steps on behalf of the Trust as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle, including, but not limited to, obtaining the execution by the Obligors and the recording, registering, filing, re-recording, re-filing, and re-registering of all security agreements, financing statements and continuation statements as are necessary to maintain the security interest granted by the Obligors under the respective Receivables. The Trust Collateral Agent hereby authorizes the Servicer, and the Servicer agrees, to take any and all steps necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Trust as necessary because of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. In the event that the assignment of a Receivable to the Trust is insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle’s certificate of title, or without fulfilling any additional administrative requirements under the laws of the state in which the Financed Vehicle is located, to perfect a security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Trust, the Servicer hereby agrees that the designation of AmeriCredit or an Originating Affiliate (which may be accomplished by the use of a properly registered DBA name in the applicable jurisdiction) as the secured party on the Lien Certificate is in its capacity as Servicer as agent of the Trust.
(b) Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Servicer or the successor Servicer (if no successor Servicer has been appointed, then the Trust Collateral Agent) shall take or cause to be taken such action as may, in the Opinion of Counsel to the Majority Noteholders, be necessary to perfect or re-perfect the security interests in the Financed Vehicles securing the Receivables in the name of the Trust by amending the title documents of such Financed Vehicles or by such other reasonable means as may, in the Opinion of Counsel to the Majority Noteholders, be necessary or prudent. AmeriCredit hereby agrees to pay all expenses related to such perfection or reperfection and to take all action necessary therefor. AmeriCredit hereby appoints the Trust Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact to take any and all steps required to be performed by AmeriCredit pursuant to this Section 4.5(b) (it being understood that and agreed that the Trust Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to take such steps with respect to all perfection or reperfection, except as pursuant to the Basic Documents to which it is a party and to which AmeriCredit has paid all expenses), including execution of Lien Certificates or any other documents in the name and stead of AmeriCredit (which may be accomplished by the use of a properly registered DBA name in the applicable jurisdiction), and the Trust Collateral Agent hereby accepts such appointment.
Maintenance of Security Interests The Borrower will:
(a) at its own cost, do all that it reasonably can to ensure that any Finance Document validly creates the obligations and the Security Interests which it purports to create; and
(b) without limiting the generality of paragraph (a) above, at its own cost, promptly register, file, record or enrol any Finance Document with any court or authority in all Pertinent Jurisdictions, pay any stamp, registration or similar tax in all Pertinent Jurisdictions in respect of any Finance Document, give any notice or take any other step which, in the opinion of the Majority Lenders, is or has become necessary or desirable for any Finance Document to be valid, enforceable or admissible in evidence or to ensure or protect the priority of any Security Interest which it creates.
Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle. The Servicer is hereby authorized to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee in the event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason.
Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Equipment The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Equipment. The Servicer is hereby authorized to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee in the event of the relocation of the Financed Equipment or for any other reason.
Maintenance of Security Interest (a) Such U.S. Pledgor shall maintain the security interest created by this Agreement in such U.S. Pledgor’s Pledged Collateral as a security interest having at least the perfection and priority described in subsection 4.3.4 or subsection 4.3.5, as applicable and shall defend such security interest against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the ABL Collateral Agent and at the sole expense of such U.S. Pledgor, such U.S. Pledgor will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the ABL Collateral Agent may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted by such U.S. Pledgor; provided, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Parent Borrower nor any other U.S. Pledgor will be required to (i) take any action in any jurisdiction other than the United States of America, or required by the laws of any such non-U.S. jurisdiction, or enter into any security agreement or pledge agreement governed by the laws of any such non-U.S. jurisdiction, in order to create any security interests (or other Liens) in assets located or titled outside of the United States of America or to perfect any security interests (or other Liens) in any Collateral, (ii) deliver control agreements with respect to, or confer perfection by “control” over, any deposit accounts, bank or securities account or other Collateral, except (A) as required by subsection 4.16 of the ABL Credit Agreement and (B) in the case of Security Collateral that constitutes Capital Stock or Pledged Notes in certificated form, delivering such Capital Stock or Pledged Notes to the ABL Collateral Agent (or another Person as required under any applicable Intercreditor Agreement), (iii) take any action in order to perfect any security interests in any assets specifically requiring perfection through control (including cash, cash equivalents, deposit accounts or securities accounts) constituting Excluded Assets (except, in each case, to the extent consisting of proceeds perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the Code or, in the case of Pledged Stock, by being held by the ABL Collateral Agent or an Additional Agent as agent for the ABL Collateral Agent), (iv) deliver landlord lien waivers, estoppels or collateral access letters or (v) file any fixture filing with respect to any security interest in Fixtures affixed to or attached to any real property constituting Excluded Assets.
(b) The ABL Collateral Agent may grant extensions of time for the creation and perfection of security interests in, or obtaining or delivery of documents or other deliverables with respect to, particular assets of any U.S. Pledgor where it determines that such action cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required to be accomplished by this Agreement or any other Security Documents.
Perfection of Security Interests in the Collateral The Collateral Documents create valid security interests in, and Liens on, the Collateral purported to be covered thereby, which security interests and Liens are currently perfected security interests and Liens, prior to all other Liens other than Permitted Liens.
Perfection and Protection of Security Interest (a) The Borrower shall, at its expense, perform all steps requested by the Agent at any time to perfect, maintain, protect, and enforce the Agent’s Liens, including: (i) executing, delivering and/or recording of filing financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereof, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; (ii) delivering to the Agent the originals of all instruments, documents, and chattel paper, and all other Collateral of which the Agent determines it should have physical possession in order to perfect and protect the Agent’s security interest therein, duly pledged, endorsed or assigned to the Agent without restriction; (iii) placing notations on the Borrower’s books of account to disclose the Agent’s security interest; and (iv) taking such other steps as are deemed necessary or desirable by the Agent to maintain and protect the Agent’s Liens. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Agent may file, without the Borrower’s signature, one or more financing statements disclosing the Agent’s Liens. The Borrower agrees that a carbon, photographic, photostatic, or other reproduction of this Agreement or of a financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement.
(b) If any Collateral is at any time in the possession or control of any warehouseman, bailee or any of the Borrower’s agents or processors, then the Borrower shall notify the Agent thereof and shall, at the request of Agent, notify such Person of the Agent’s security interest in such Collateral and instruct such Person to hold all such Collateral for the Agent’s account subject to the Agent’s instructions. If at any time any Collateral is located in any operating facility of the Borrower not owned by the Borrower, then the Borrower shall, at the request of the Agent, obtain written landlord lien waivers or subordinations, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, of all present and future Liens to which the owner or lessor of such premises may be entitled to assert against the Collateral.
(c) From time to time, the Borrower shall, upon the Agent’s request, execute and deliver confirmatory written instruments pledging to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, the Collateral with respect to the Borrower, but the Borrower’s failure to do so shall not affect or limit any security interest or any other rights of the Agent or any Lender in and to the Collateral with respect to the Borrower. So long as this Agreement is in effect and until all Obligations have been fully satisfied, the Agent’s Liens shall continue in full force and effect in all Collateral (whether or not deemed eligible for the purpose of calculating the Availability or as the basis for any advance, loan, extension of credit, or other financial accommodation).
(d) Except with respect to Collateral delivered to the Agent pursuant to this Section 6.2, the Borrower shall immediately following the execution or receipt of a Contract, stamp on the Contract the following words: “This document is subject to a security interest in favor of Bank of America, N.A., as agent”.
Release of Security Interests Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, each Guarantor hereby consents and agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that the rights of the Trustee hereunder, and the liability of the Guarantors hereunder, shall not be affected by any and all releases for any purpose of any collateral, if any, from the Liens and security interests created by any collateral document and that this Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Indenture Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Trustee upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
Perfection of Security Interests Each Borrower and Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes Agent (or its agent) to file at any time and from time to time such financing statements with respect to the Collateral naming Agent or its designee as the secured party and such Borrower or Guarantor as debtor, as Agent may require, and including any other information with respect to such Borrower or Guarantor or otherwise required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of such jurisdiction as Agent may determine, together with any amendment and continuations with respect thereto, which authorization shall apply to all financing statements filed on, prior to or after the date hereof. Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby ratifies and approves all financing statements naming Agent or its designee as secured party and such Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, as debtor with respect to the Collateral (and any amendments with respect to such financing statements) filed by or on behalf of Agent prior to the date hereof and ratifies and confirms the authorization of Agent to file such financing statements (and amendments, if any). Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby authorizes Agent to adopt on behalf of such Borrower and Guarantor any symbol required for authenticating any electronic filing. In the event that the description of the collateral in any financing statement naming Agent or its designee as the secured party and any Borrower or Guarantor as debtor includes assets and properties of such Borrower or Guarantor that do not at any time constitute Collateral, whether hereunder, under any of the other Financing Agreements or otherwise, the filing of such financing statement shall nonetheless be deemed authorized by such Borrower or Guarantor to the extent of the Collateral included in such description and it shall not render the financing statement ineffective as to any of the Collateral or otherwise affect the financing statement as it applies to any of the Collateral. In no event shall any Borrower or Guarantor at any time file, or permit or cause to be filed, any correction statement or termination statement with respect to any financing statement (or amendment or continuation with respect thereto) naming Agent or its designee as secured party and such Borrower or Guarantor as debtor.
Perfection of Security Interest Each Borrower shall take all action that may be necessary or desirable, or that Agent may request, so as at all times to maintain the validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of Agent’s security interest in and Lien on the Collateral or to enable Agent to protect, exercise or enforce its rights hereunder and in the Collateral, including, but not limited to, (i) immediately discharging all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, (ii) obtaining Lien Waiver Agreements, (iii) delivering to Agent, endorsed or accompanied by such instruments of assignment as Agent may specify, and stamping or marking, in such manner as Agent may specify, any and all chattel paper, instruments, letters of credits and advices thereof and documents evidencing or forming a part of the Collateral, (iv) entering into warehousing, lockbox and other custodial arrangements satisfactory to Agent, and (v) executing and delivering financing statements, control agreements, instruments of pledge, mortgages, notices and assignments, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, relating to the creation, validity, perfection, maintenance or continuation of Agent’s security interest and Lien under the Uniform Commercial Code or other Applicable Law. By its signature hereto, each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to file against such Borrower, one or more financing, continuation or amendment statements pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in form and substance satisfactory to Agent (which statements may have a description of collateral which is broader than that set forth herein). All charges, expenses and fees Agent may incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any local taxes relating thereto, shall be charged to Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance of a Domestic Rate Loan and added to the Obligations, or, at Agent’s option, shall be paid to Agent for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of Lenders immediately upon demand.
