(iv) all Equipment;
(v) all General Intangibles, including all Intellectual Property;
(vi) all Instruments;

(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.
