No financing statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as have been filed in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, pursuant to this Agreement or as are permitted by the Credit Agreement.
No Other Liens Except for the Permitted Exceptions, Mortgagor will not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, create, place or permit to be created or placed, or through any act or failure to act, acquiesce in the placing of, or allow to remain, any mortgage, voluntary or involuntary lien, whether statutory, constitutional or contractual, security interest, encumbrance or charge, or conditional sale or other title retention document, against or covering the Property, or any part thereof, regardless of whether the same are expressly or otherwise subordinate to the lien or security interest created in this Mortgage, and should any of the foregoing become attached hereafter in any manner to any part of the Property without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, Mortgagor will cause the same to be promptly discharged and released. Subject to the terms of the Oil and Gas Lease, Mortgagor will own all parts of the Property and will not acquire any fixtures, equipment or other property (including software embedded therein) forming a part of the Property pursuant to a lease, license, security agreement or similar agreement, whereby any party has or may obtain the right to repossess or remove same, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. If Mortgagee consents to the voluntary grant by Mortgagor of any mortgage, lien, security interest, or other encumbrance (hereinafter called “Subordinate Mortgage”) covering any of the Property or if the foregoing prohibition is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable as to a Subordinate Mortgage, any such Subordinate Mortgage shall contain express covenants to the effect that: (1) the Subordinate Mortgage is unconditionally subordinate to this Mortgage and all Leases (hereinafter defined); (2) if any action shall be instituted to foreclose or otherwise enforce the Subordinate Mortgage, no tenant of any of the Leases (hereinafter defined) shall be named as a party defendant, and no action shall be taken that would terminate any occupancy or tenancy without the prior written consent of Mortgagee; (3) Rents (hereinafter defined), if collected by or for the Mortgagee of the Subordinate Mortgage, shall be applied first to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness then due and expenses incurred in the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Property in such order as Mortgagee may determine, prior to being applied to any indebtedness secured by the Subordinate Mortgage; (4) written notice of default under the Subordinate Mortgage and written notice of the commencement of any action to foreclose or otherwise enforce the Subordinate Mortgage or to seek the appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Property shall be given to Mortgagee with or immediately after the occurrence of any such default or commencement; and (5) neither the Mortgagee of the Subordinate Mortgage, nor any purchaser at foreclosure thereunder, nor anyone claiming by, through or under any of them shall succeed to any of Mortgagor’s rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.
Restrictions on Liens, Etc The Credit Parties will not (a) create or incur or suffer to be created or incurred or to exist any lien, security title, encumbrance, mortgage, pledge, Negative Pledge, charge, or other security interest of any kind upon the Unencumbered Properties, the Equity Interests in any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary, or any of the Unencumbered Property Subsidiary’s material respective property or assets of any character whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or upon the income or profits therefrom; (b) transfer any of the Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantor’s material property or assets or the income or profits therefrom for the purpose of subjecting the same to the payment of Indebtedness or performance of any other obligation in priority to payment of its general creditors; (c) acquire, or agree or have an option to acquire, any property or assets upon conditional sale or other title retention or purchase money security agreement, device or arrangement; (d) suffer to exist for a period of more than thirty (30) days after the same shall have been incurred any Indebtedness or claim or demand against any of them that if unpaid could by law or upon bankruptcy or insolvency, or otherwise, be given any priority whatsoever as to the Unencumbered Properties over any of their general creditors; (e) sell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer any accounts, contract rights, general intangibles, chattel paper or instruments, with or without recourse; or (f) incur or maintain any obligation to any holder of Indebtedness of any of such Persons which prohibits the creation or maintenance of any lien securing the Obligations (collectively, “Liens”); provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors may create or incur or suffer to be created or incurred or to exist:
Similar Liens and Agreements The parties hereto agree that it is their intention that the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral be identical. To the extent that, notwithstanding this Section 2.07, the First Lien Collateral and Second Lien Collateral are not identical, the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of Second Lien Secured Parties, agrees that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens on Second Lien Collateral that is not First Lien Collateral, shall be subject to Section 4.03. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:
(a) upon reasonable request by the First Lien Agent or the Second Lien Agent, to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to time in order to determine the specific items included in the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral and the steps taken to perfect their respective Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the First Lien Documents and the Second Lien Documents;
(b) that the documents and agreements creating or evidencing the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral and guarantees for the First Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations shall be Security Documents or otherwise in all material respects the same forms of documents other than with respect to the First Lien and Second Lien nature of the obligations and Collateral thereunder; and
(c) that in the event either First Lien Agent shall obtain or record any First Lien Documents in favor of First Lien Agent granting Liens on Collateral to secure First Lien Obligations, or Second Lien Agent shall obtain or record any Second Lien Documents in favor of Second Lien Agent granting Liens on Collateral to secure Second Lien Obligations, and such First Lien Documents or Second Lien Documents are not Security Documents, then First Lien Agent or Second Lien Agent, as the case may be, shall notify the other of such documentation and provide a copy thereof.
Other Liens Debtors will not create, permit or suffer to exist, and will defend the Collateral against and take such other action as is necessary to remove, any Lien on the Collateral except Permitted Liens, and will defend the right, title and interest of the Secured Party in and to the Collateral and in and to all Proceeds thereof against the claims and demands of all Persons whatsoever.

Absence of Other Liens The Collateral is owned by the Grantors free and clear of any Lien, except for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement. The Grantor has not filed or consented to the filing of (a) any financing statement or analogous document under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable laws covering any Collateral, (b) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Collateral with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office or (c) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office, which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement.

Prohibition on Transfers, Other Actions (a) The Covenanting Unitholder hereby agrees, except for a Permitted Transfer, not to (i) Transfer any of the Covered Units, beneficial ownership thereof or any other interest therein, (ii) enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or take any other action, that violates or conflicts with, or would reasonably be expected to violate or conflict with, or would reasonably be expected to result in or give rise to a violation of or conflict with, the Covenanting Unitholder’s representations, warranties, covenants and obligations under this Agreement, (iii) take any action that would restrict or otherwise affect the Covenanting Unitholder’s legal power, authority and right to comply with and perform its covenants and obligations under this Agreement, (iv) convert any of the Existing Units or any PIK Units into Common Units, or (v) discuss, negotiate, make an offer or enter into a Contract, commitment or other arrangement with respect to any matter related to this Agreement, except, in the case of clause (v) as would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the ability of the Covenanting Unitholder to perform its obligations hereunder. Any Transfer in violation of this provision shall be null and void.
(b) The Covenanting Unitholder agrees that if it attempts to Transfer (other than a Permitted Transfer), vote or provide any other Person with the authority to vote any of the Covered Units other than in compliance with this Agreement, the Covenanting Unitholder shall unconditionally and irrevocably (during the term of this Agreement) instruct the Company to not, (i) permit any such Transfer on its books and records, (ii) issue a Book-Entry Interest or a new certificate representing any of the Covered Units, or (iii) record such vote unless and until the Covenanting Unitholder has complied in all respects with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) The Covenanting Unitholder agrees not to knowingly take any action that would make any representation or warranty of the Covenanting Unitholder contained herein untrue or incorrect in any material respect or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of preventing, impeding or interfering with or adversely affecting in any material respect the performance by the Covenanting Unitholder of its obligations under or contemplated by this Agreement.
(e) The Covenanting Unitholder shall and does hereby authorize the Company or its counsel to notify the Company’s transfer agent that there is a stop transfer order with respect to the Existing Units (and that this Agreement places limits on the voting and transfer of such Existing Units).
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.
