Notwithstanding the filing of a financing statement covering any of the Mortgaged Property in the records normally pertaining to personal property, all of the Mortgaged Property, for all purposes and in all proceedings, legal or equitable, shall be regarded, at Mortgagees' option (to the extent permitted by law) as part of the Real Estate whether or not any such item is physically attached to the Real Estate or serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain items. The mention in any such financing statement of any of the Mortgaged Property shall never be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this declaration and it is the hereby stated intention of the parties that such mention in protection of Mortgagee in the event any court shall at any time hold that notice of Mortgagee's priority of interest, to be effective against any third party, including the federal government and any authority or agency thereof, must be filed in the Uniform Commercial Code records. Mortgagor and Borrower hereby agree that each shall execute and hereby authorizes Mortgagee to file any financing and continuation statements which Mortgagee shall determine in its sole discretion are necessary or advisable in order to perfect it security interest in the Equipment and Personalty covered by this Mortgage, and Borrower shall pay any expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the preparation, execution and filing of such statements that may be filed by Mortgagee, or, if paid by Mortgagee, such amounts, together with interest at the Default Rate, shall be added to the Indebtedness, payable on demand, and shall be secured by this Mortgage.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower authorizes the filing of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices as may be necessary or desirable or that the Collateral Agent (acting solely at the Facility Agent’s request) may reasonably request to protect and preserve the assignments and security interests granted by this Agreement. Such financing statements filed against the Borrower may describe the Collateral in the same manner specified in Section 12.1 or in any other manner as the Facility Agent may reasonably determine is necessary to ensure the perfection of such security interest (without disclosing the names of, or any information relating to, the Obligors thereunder), including describing such property as all assets or all personal property of the Borrower whether now owned or hereafter acquired.
(b) The Borrower and each Secured Party hereby severally authorize the Collateral Agent, upon receipt of written direction from the Facility Agent, to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to all or any part of the Collateral.

Security Agreement This Deed of Trust is both a real property deed of trust and a "security agreement" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Mortgaged Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Trustor in the Mortgaged Property. Trustor by executing and delivering this Deed of Trust has granted and hereby grants to Beneficiary, as security for the Debt, a security interest in the Mortgaged Property to the full extent that the Mortgaged Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Mortgaged Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called in this Section 18 the "Collateral"). Trustor hereby agrees to execute and deliver to Beneficiary, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary, such financing statements and such further assurances as Beneficiary may from time to time reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect, and preserve Beneficiary's security interest herein granted. This Deed of Trust shall also constitute a "fixture filing" for the purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code as to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property which now or hereafter constitute "fixtures" under the Uniform Commercial Code. Information concerning the security interest herein granted may be obtained from the parties at the addresses of the parties set forth in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust. If an Event of Default shall occur, Beneficiary, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Beneficiary may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Beneficiary, Trustor shall at its expense assemble the Collateral and make it available to Beneficiary at a convenient place acceptable to Beneficiary. Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary on demand any and all expenses, including legal expenses and attorneys' fees, incurred or paid by Beneficiary in protecting the interest in the Collateral and in enforcing the rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Beneficiary with respect to the Collateral sent to Trustor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least five (5) days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Trustor. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Beneficiary to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Beneficiary in its discretion shall deem proper. In the event of any change in name, identity or structure of any Trustor, such Trustor shall notify Beneficiary thereof and promptly after Beneficiary's request shall execute, file and record such Uniform Commercial Code forms as are necessary to maintain the priority of Beneficiary's lien upon and security interest in the Collateral, and shall pay all expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof. If Beneficiary shall require the filing or recording of additional Uniform Commercial Code forms or continuation statements, Trustor shall, promptly after request, execute, file and record such Uniform Commercial Code forms or continuation statements as Beneficiary shall deem necessary, and shall pay all expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof, it being understood and agreed, however, that no such additional documents shall increase Trustor's obligations under the Note, this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents. Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest upon Trustor's failure to do so within five (5) Business Days after request by Beneficiary, to file with the appropriate public office on its behalf any financing or other statements signed only by Beneficiary, as Trustor's attorney-in-fact, in connection with the Collateral covered by this Deed of Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trustor shall appear and defend in any action or proceeding which affects or purports to affect the Mortgaged Property and any interest or right therein, whether such proceeding affects title or any other rights in the Mortgaged Property (and in conjunction therewith, Trustor shall fully cooperate with Beneficiary in the event Beneficiary is a party to such action or proceeding).
Guaranty Agreements Any Guaranty Agreement or any provision thereof shall for any reason cease to be in full force and effect or valid and binding on or enforceable against any Credit Party or a Credit Party shall so state in writing or bring an action to limit its obligations or liabilities thereunder; or any Credit Party shall fail to perform any of its obligations thereunder; or
