Priorities and Agreements With Respect to Shared Collateral Section 2.01.
The Security Documents (a) None of the Collateral is subject to any Liens except Permitted Liens.
(b) The security interests created under the Share Charge in favor of the Collateral Agent, as pledgee, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, constitute perfected security interests in the Share Charge Collateral described in the Share Charge, subject to no security interests of any other Person. No filings or recordings are required in order to perfect (or maintain the perfection or priority of) the security interests created in the Share Charge Collateral under the Share Charge other than with respect to that portion of the Share Charge Collateral constituting a “general intangible” under the UCC. The filings on Form UCC-1 made pursuant to the Share Charge will perfect a security interest in the Collateral covered by the Share Charge to the extent a security interest in such Collateral may be perfected by such filings.
(c) After the execution and registration thereof, the Vessel Mortgage will create, as security for the obligations purported to be secured thereby, a valid and enforceable perfected security interest in and mortgage lien on the Vessel in favor of the Collateral Agent (or such other trustee as may be required or desired under local law) for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, superior and prior to the rights of all third Persons (except that the security interest and mortgage lien created on the Vessel may be subject to the Permitted Liens related thereto) and subject to no other Liens (other than Permitted Liens related thereto).
(d) After the execution and delivery thereof and upon the taking of the actions mentioned in the immediately succeeding sentence, each of the Security Documents will create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors a legal, valid and enforceable fully perfected first priority security interest in and Lien on all right, title and interest of the Credit Parties party thereto in the Collateral described therein, subject only to Permitted Liens. Subject to Sections 7.02, 8.04 and this Section 8.11 and the definition of “Collateral and Guaranty Requirements,” no filings or recordings are required in order to perfect the security interests created under any Security Document except for filings or recordings which shall have been made on or prior to the execution of such Security Document.
Agreement to Deliver Security Documents The Company shall, and shall cause the Guarantors to, deliver, to further secure the Obligations whenever requested by the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, deeds of trust, mortgages, chattel mortgages, security agreements, pledge agreements, financing statements and other Security Documents in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for the purpose of granting, confirming, and perfecting second priority Liens or security interests in the Collateral. The Company shall deliver and shall cause the Guarantors to deliver whenever reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, title opinions or other evidence of title reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Mortgaged Properties designated by the Administrative Agent, based upon abstract or record examinations reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (a) evidencing that the Company or a Guarantor, as applicable, has good and indefeasible title to the Mortgaged Properties, free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens, (b) confirming that such Mortgaged Properties are subject to Security Documents securing the Obligations that constitute and create legal, valid and duly perfected second priority deed of trust or mortgage Liens in such Mortgaged Properties and interests, and assignments of and security interests in the Oil and Gas attributable to such Mortgaged Properties comprised of Oil and Gas Properties and interests and the proceeds thereof, in each case subject only to Permitted Liens, and (c) covering such other matters as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.
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 Lender, the Liens granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents will constitute valid and enforceable first, prior and perfected (to the extent that Liens on the Collateral can be perfected by the filing of UCC financing statements) Liens on the Collateral in favor of Lender.
