(d) Subject to the limitations set forth or referred to in this Section 5.11, if any material assets (including any owned real property or improvements thereto but excluding leasehold interests) (but only those having a fair market value of at least $5,000,000) are acquired by the Borrower or any Subsidiary that is a Loan Party after the Second Restatement Date (other than assets constituting Collateral under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement that become subject to the Lien in favor of the Agent upon acquisition thereof), the Borrower will notify the Agent and the Lenders thereof, and, if requested by the Agent or the Required Lenders, the Borrower will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Obligations and will take, and cause the Loan Parties that are Subsidiaries to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described in paragraph (c) of this Section, all at the expense of the Loan Parties.
(e) If, at any time and from time to time after the Second Restatement Date, Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Loan Parties because they are Immaterial Subsidiaries comprise in the aggregate more than 7.5% of Total Assets as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries or more than 7.5% of Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower, then the Borrower shall, not later than 45 days after the date by which financial statements for such quarter are required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement (or such later date as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), cause one or more such Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries to become additional Loan Parties (notwithstanding that such Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries are, individually, Immaterial Subsidiaries) such that the foregoing condition ceases to be true.
(f) Notwithstanding any provision of the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Loan Parties shall not be required to grant a security interest in any personal property of a type that would not constitute Pledged Collateral or Article 9 Collateral (each as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 4.01 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

It will and will cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent from time to time such other documentation, consents, authorizations, approvals and orders in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably deem necessary to perfect or maintain the Liens on the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents. Upon the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant to any Loan Document which requires any consent, approval, registration, qualification or authorization of any Governmental Authority, it will and will cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to execute and deliver all applications, certifications, instruments and other documents and papers that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may require. If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that they are required by law to have appraisals prepared in respect of the Real Property of any Restricted Subsidiary constituting or about to become Collateral, it shall provide to the Administrative Agent appraisals that satisfy the applicable requirements of the Real Estate Appraisal Reform Amendments of FIRREA and are otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

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.

Each Borrower also hereby ratifies its authorization for Agent to have filed in any jurisdiction any like financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof. The parties agree that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed in any appropriate office in lieu thereof.

(e) The Borrowers agree that each action required by clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 9.12 shall be completed in no event later than 90 days after such action is required to be taken pursuant to such clauses or requested to be taken by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders (or such longer period as the Collateral Agent shall otherwise agree, including with respect to any Real Property acquired after the Closing Date that Lead Borrower has notified the Collateral Agent that it intends to dispose of pursuant to a disposition permitted by Section 10.04), as the case may be; provided that, in no event will the Borrowers or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries be required to take any action to obtain consents from third parties with respect to its compliance with this Section 9.12; provided further that, the Borrowers shall give the Collateral Agent 45 days written notice prior to granting any Mortgage to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors as required herein and shall not grant such Mortgage until (i) the Collateral Agent has provided written notice to the Borrowers of the completion of all required flood insurance due diligence and flood insurance compliance which notice states that the Collateral Agent is satisfied with the results thereof and (ii) the expiration of such 45 day period with no Lender having provided notice to Lead Borrower that it has not completed any necessary flood insurance due diligence or flood insurance compliance or that it is not satisfied with the results of any such due diligence or compliance (and the date by which any Credit Party is required to deliver Mortgages hereunder shall automatically be extended to the extent necessary to comply with the foregoing). Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the grant of any Mortgage on Mortgaged Property of the Credit Parties (or any increase, extension or renewal of any Loans or Commitments at a time when any Mortgaged Property is subject to a Mortgage) shall be subject to (and conditioned upon) the prior delivery to the Collateral Agent of “life-of-loan” Federal Emergency Management Agency standard flood hazard determinations with respect to each Mortgaged Property and, to the extent any improved Mortgaged Property is located in an area determined by the Federal Emergency Agency (or any successor agency) to be a special flood hazard area, (i) delivery by the Collateral Agent to Lead Borrower of a notice of special flood hazard area status and flood disaster assistance and, if such notice is delivered to Lead Borrower at least two (2) Business Days prior to such grant, increase, extension or renewal, a duly executed acknowledgment of receipt thereof by Lead Borrower and (ii) evidence of flood insurance as required by Section 9.03 hereof. Notwithstanding anything in any Credit Document to the contrary, if the Collateral Agent or any Lender is not satisfied with the results of any flood insurance due diligence or flood insurance compliance or any of the deliveries referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, and determines it is in its best interest not to require a Mortgage on any Mortgaged Property, the Credit Parties shall not be required to grant a Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property in favor of such Person or otherwise comply with respect to such Person with the provisions of the Credit Documents relating to Mortgages.
