Perfection of Security The Borrower must (at its own cost) take any action and enter into and deliver any document which is required by the Lender so that a Security Document provides for effective and perfected security in favor of any successor of the Lender, including (but not limited to), promptly after the date hereof:
Perfection of Security Interests (a) 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.

Each Pledgor hereby agrees that if any of the Pledged Securities are at any time not evidenced by certificates of ownership, then each applicable Pledgor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) cause (or in the case of Pledged Securities issued by an issuer that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) the issuer to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an acknowledgment of the pledge of such Pledged Securities substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 hereto or such other form that is reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, (ii) if necessary or desirable to perfect a security interest in such Pledged Securities, cause (or in the case of Pledged Securities issued by an issuer that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) the issuer of such uncertificated Pledged Securities to enter into a control agreement with the Collateral Agent and such Pledgor reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent pursuant to which such issuer shall agree to comply with instructions originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent by such Pledgor, and cause (or in the case of Pledged Securities issued by an issuer that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) such pledge to be recorded on the equityholder register or the books of the issuer, execute any customary pledge forms or other documents necessary or appropriate to complete the pledge and give the Collateral Agent the right to transfer such Pledged Securities under the terms hereof, (iii) upon request by the Collateral Agent, provide to the Collateral Agent an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, confirming such pledge and perfection thereof, and (iv) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon request by the Collateral Agent, (A) cause (or in the case of Pledged Securities issued by an issuer that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) the Organizational Documents of each such issuer that is a Subsidiary of a Pledgor to be amended to provide that such Pledged Securities shall be treated as “securities” for purposes of the UCC and (B) cause (or in the case of Pledged Securities issued by an issuer that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) such Pledged Securities to become certificated and delivered to the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1.
Perfection and Protection of Security Interest Borrower shall, at its expense, take all actions requested by FINOVA at any time to perfect, maintain, protect and enforce FINOVA's first priority security interest and other rights in the Collateral and the priority thereof from time to time, including, without limitation, (i) executing and filing financing or continuation statements and amendments thereof and executing and delivering such documents and titles in connection with motor vehicles as FINOVA shall require, all in form and substance satisfactory to FINOVA, (ii) maintaining a perpetual inventory and complete and accurate stock records, (iii) delivering to FINOVA warehouse receipts covering any portion of the Collateral located in warehouses and for which warehouse receipts are issued, and transferring Inventory to warehouses designated by FINOVA, (iv) placing notations on Borrower's books of account to disclose FINOVA's security interest therein and (v) delivering to FINOVA all letters of credit on which Borrower is named beneficiary. FINOVA may file, without Borrower's signature, one or more financing statements disclosing FINOVA's security interest under this Agreement. Borrower agrees that a carbon, photographic, photostatic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of a financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement. If any Collateral is at any time in the possession or control of any warehouseman, bailee or any of Borrower's agents or processors, Borrower shall notify such Person of FINOVA's security interest in such Collateral and, upon FINOVA's request, instruct them to hold all such Collateral for FINOVA's account subject to FINOVA's instructions. From time to time, Borrower shall, upon FINOVA's request, execute and deliver confirmatory written instruments pledging the Collateral to FINOVA, but Borrower's failure to do so shall not affect or limit FINOVA's security interest or other rights in and to the Collateral. Until the Obligations have been fully satisfied and FINOVA's obligation to make further advances hereunder has terminated, FINOVA's security interest in the Collateral shall continue in full force and effect.
Perfection of Appointment Should any deed, conveyance or instrument of any nature be required from Grantor by any successor Trustee to more fully and certainly vest in and confirm to such successor Trustee such estates, rights, powers and duties, then, upon request by such Trustee, all such deeds, conveyances and instruments shall be made, executed, acknowledged and delivered and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Grantor.
