Rights in Collateral; Priority of Liens Borrower and each other Loan Party own the property granted by it as Collateral under the Collateral Documents, free and clear of any and all Liens in favor of third parties. Upon the proper filing of UCC financing statements, and the taking of the other actions required by Lender, the Liens granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents will constitute valid and enforceable first, prior and perfected (to the extent that Liens on the Collateral can be perfected by the filing of UCC financing statements) Liens on the Collateral in favor of Lender.
Condition of Collateral Secured Party has no obligation to repair, clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.
Additional Collateral and Guaranties To the extent not delivered to the Administrative Agent on or before the Effective Date (including in respect of after-acquired property and Persons that become Subsidiaries of any Loan Party after the Effective Date), the Borrower agrees promptly to do, or cause each Subsidiary of the Borrower to do, each of the following, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent:
(a) deliver to the Administrative Agent such duly-executed supplements and amendments to the Guaranty (or, in the case of any Subsidiary of any Loan Party that is not a Domestic Subsidiary, foreign guarantees and related documents), in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and as the Administrative Agent deems necessary or advisable in order to ensure that each Subsidiary of each Loan Party guaranties, as primary obligor and not as surety, the full and punctual payment when due of the Obligations or any part thereof; provided, however, that, unless (x) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree, or (y) such Subsidiary guarantees or otherwise becomes obligated under any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s other Domestic Subsidiaries, in no event shall any Non-U.S. Person be required to guaranty the payment of the Obligations;
(b) deliver to the Administrative Agent such duly-executed joinder and amendments to the Security Agreement and, if applicable, the other Collateral Documents (or, in the case of any such Subsidiary of any Loan Party that is not a Domestic Subsidiary and becomes a Guarantor pursuant to clause (a) above, foreign charges, pledges, security agreements and other Collateral Documents), in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and as the Administrative Agent deems necessary or advisable in order to effectively grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid, perfected and enforceable first-priority security interest in all property interests and other assets of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party constituting Collateral;
(c) deliver to the Administrative Agent all certificates, instruments and other documents representing all Pledged Instruments and all other debt Securities constituting Collateral being pledged pursuant to the joinders, amendments and foreign agreements executed pursuant to clause (b) above, in each case, endorsed in blank and executed and delivered by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party or such Subsidiary thereof, as the case may be;
(d) to take such other actions necessary or advisable to ensure the validity or continuing validity of the guaranties required to be given pursuant to clause (a) above or to create, maintain or perfect the security interest required to be granted pursuant to clause (b) above, including the filing of UCC financing statements in such jurisdictions as may be required by the Collateral Documents or by law or as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; and
(e) if requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent legal opinions relating to the matters described above, which opinions shall be in form and substance, and from counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
Preservation of Collateral Following the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, in addition to the rights and remedies set forth in Section 11.1 hereof, Agent: (a) may at any time take such steps as Agent deems necessary to protect Agent’s interest in and to preserve the Collateral, including the hiring of such security guards or the placing of other security protection measures as Agent may deem appropriate; (b) may employ and maintain at any of any Borrower’s premises a custodian who shall have full authority to do all acts necessary to protect Agent’s interests in the Collateral; (c) may lease warehouse facilities to which Agent may move all or part of the Collateral; (d) may use any Borrower’s owned or leased lifts, hoists, trucks and other facilities or equipment for handling or removing the Collateral; and (e) shall have, and is hereby granted, a right of ingress and egress to the places where the Collateral is located, and may proceed over and through any of Borrowers’ owned or leased property. Each Borrower shall cooperate fully with all of Agent’s efforts to preserve the Collateral and will take such actions to preserve the Collateral as Agent may direct. All of Agent’s expenses of preserving the Collateral, including any expenses relating to the bonding of a custodian, shall be charged to Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan and added to the Obligations.
Additional Collateral (a) With respect to any Capital Stock of any newly created or acquired Subsidiary or any newly issued Capital Stock of any existing Subsidiary acquired after the Original Closing Date by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is intended to be subject to the Lien created by any of the Pledge Agreements but which is not so subject, promptly (and in any event within 30 days after the acquisition thereof): (i) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such amendments to the relevant Pledge Agreements or such other documents as the Administrative Agent shall deem necessary or advisable to grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a Lien on such Capital Stock, (ii) take all actions necessary or advisable to cause such Lien to be duly perfected in accordance with all applicable Requirements of Law, including delivering all such original certificates evidencing such Capital Stock to the Administrative Agent together with undated stock powers executed in blank therefor, and (iii) if requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, deliver to the Administrative Agent legal opinions relating to the matters described in clauses (i) and (ii) immediately preceding, which opinions shall be in form and substance, and from counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b) With respect to any Person that, subsequent to the Original Closing Date, becomes a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Borrower, promptly (and in any event within 30 days after such Person becomes a Subsidiary): (i) cause such new Subsidiary to become a party to the Subsidiary Pledge Agreement and the Subsidiary Guarantee and (ii) if requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, deliver to the Administrative Agent legal opinions relating to the matters described in clause (i) immediately preceding, which opinions shall be in form and substance, and from counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Immaterial Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary of the Borrower shall be required to execute a Subsidiary Guarantee or Subsidiary Pledge Agreement, and no more than 65% of the Capital Stock of or equity interests in any Foreign Subsidiary of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries if more than 65% of the assets of such Subsidiary are securities of foreign companies (such determination to be made on the basis of fair market value), shall be required to be pledged hereunder.
