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 the Required Lenders, the Liens granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents will constitute valid and enforceable first, prior and perfected Liens on the Collateral in favor of Agent, for the ratable benefit of Agent and Lenders.
Relative Priorities Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing the Second Priority Obligations granted on the Collateral or of any Liens securing the First Priority Obligations granted on the Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, or any other applicable law or the Second Priority Loan Documents or any defect or deficiencies in, or failure to perfect, the Liens securing the First Priority Obligations or the Second Priority Obligations or any other circumstance whatsoever, the Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Creditors, hereby agrees that:
(a) so long as the Discharge of First Priority Obligations has not occurred, any Lien on the Collateral securing any First Priority Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the First Priority Agent or any First Priority Creditors or any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Collateral securing any Second Priority Obligations; and
(b) so long as the Discharge of First Priority Obligations has not occurred, any Lien on the Collateral securing any Second Priority Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Second Priority Agent, any Second Priority Creditors, any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Collateral securing any First Priority Obligations. All Liens on the Collateral securing any First Priority Obligations shall be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the Collateral securing any Second Priority Obligations for all purposes, whether or not such Liens securing any First Priority Obligations are subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation of the Borrowers, any other Grantor or any other Person.
Limitation on Liens on Collateral No Grantor will create, permit or suffer to exist, and each Grantor will defend the Collateral against, and take such other action as is necessary to remove, any Lien on the Collateral except Permitted Encumbrances, and will defend the right, title and interest of Agent and Lenders in and to any of such Grantor's rights under the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.
