TITLE TO COLLATERAL; PERMITTED LIENS Borrower is now, and will at all times in the future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral, except for items of Equipment which are leased by Borrower. The Collateral now is and will remain free and clear of any and all liens, charges, security interests, encumbrances and adverse claims, except for Permitted Liens. Silicon now has, and will continue to have, a first-priority perfected and enforceable security interest in all of the Collateral, subject only to the Permitted Liens, and Borrower will at all times defend Silicon and the Collateral against all claims of others. None of the Collateral now is or will be affixed to any real property in such a manner, or with such intent, as to become a fixture. Borrower is not and will not become a lessee under any real property lease pursuant to which the lessor may obtain any rights in any of the Collateral and no such lease now prohibits, restrains, impairs or will prohibit, restrain or impair Borrower's right to remove any Collateral from the leased premises. Whenever any Collateral is located upon premises in which any third party has an interest (whether as owner, mortgagee, beneficiary under a deed of trust, lien or otherwise), Borrower shall, whenever requested by Silicon, use its best efforts to cause such third party to execute and deliver to Silicon, in form acceptable to Silicon, such waivers and subordinations as Silicon shall specify, so as to ensure that Silicon's rights in the Collateral are, and will continue to be, superior to the rights of any such third party. Borrower will keep in full force and effect, and will comply with all the terms of, any lease of real property where any of the Collateral now or in the future may be located.
Superior Liens Where permitted by local law and where the senior lienholder is required to notify a junior lienholder be named as a party defendant in foreclosure proceedings in order to foreclose such junior lienholder’s equity of redemption, the Servicer shall file (or cause to be filed) a request for notice of any action by a superior lienholder under a First Lien for the protection of the Trust interests in the related second lien Mortgage Loan, the expense of which shall constitute a Servicing Advance to the extent not otherwise reimbursed by the Seller. In jurisdictions where the senior lienholder is not required to notify a junior lienholder be named as party defendant in foreclosure proceedings in order to foreclose on such lienholder, the Servicer shall cause the First Lien relating to each second lien Mortgage Loan to be tracked to protect the Trust’s interest in such second lien Mortgage Loan, the expense of which shall constitute a Servicing Advance to the extent not otherwise reimbursed by the Seller. If the Servicer is notified that any superior lienholder has accelerated or intends to accelerate the obligations secured by the First Lien, or has declared or intends to declare a default under the mortgage or the promissory note secured thereby, or has filed or intends to file an election to have the related Mortgaged Property sold or foreclosed, the Servicer shall take, on behalf of the Trust, whatever actions are necessary to protect the interests of the Trust in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall not make a Servicing Advance with respect thereto except to the extent that it determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such advance would be recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds on the related second lien Mortgage Loan and in no event in an amount that is greater than the then outstanding principal balance of the related second lien Mortgage Loan.
