Superior Liens Where permitted by local law and where the senior lienholder is required to notify a junior lienholder be named as a party defendant in foreclosure proceedings in order to foreclose such junior lienholder’s equity of redemption, the Servicer shall file (or cause to be filed) a request for notice of any action by a superior lienholder under a First Lien for the protection of the Trust interests in the related second lien Mortgage Loan, the expense of which shall constitute a Servicing Advance to the extent not otherwise reimbursed by the Seller. In jurisdictions where the senior lienholder is not required to notify a junior lienholder be named as party defendant in foreclosure proceedings in order to foreclose on such lienholder, the Servicer shall cause the First Lien relating to each second lien Mortgage Loan to be tracked to protect the Trust’s interest in such second lien Mortgage Loan, the expense of which shall constitute a Servicing Advance to the extent not otherwise reimbursed by the Seller.

Permitted Liens; Title Insurance Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy or a “marked up” commitment, in each case with escrow instructions and binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record specifically identified in the Title Policy; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property; (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a Crossed Underlying Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, and (g) condominium declarations of record and identified in such Title Policy, provided that none of clauses (a) through (g), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or principal use of the Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). For purposes of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon. Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the second preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller, nor to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the Mortgaged Property shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.
ENCUMBRANCES AND LIENS The Contractor shall not cause or permit any lien, attachment or other encumbrance by any person to be placed on file or to remain on file in any public office or on file with UNDP against any monies due to the Contractor or that may become due for any work done or against any goods supplied or materials furnished under the Contract, or by reason of any other claim or demand against the Contractor or UNDP.
Perfected Liens The Collateral Agent shall have obtained a valid security interest in the Collateral covered by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (to the extent and with the priority contemplated therein and in the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement); and all documents, instruments, filings and recordations reasonably necessary in connection with the perfection and, in the case of the filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, protection of such security interests shall have been executed and delivered or made, or shall be delivered or made substantially concurrently with the initial funding pursuant to the Debt Financing under the Loan Documents pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or, in the case of filings under the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction, written authorization to make such filings shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent, and none of such Collateral shall be subject to any other pledges or security interests except for Permitted Liens or pledges or security interests to be released on the Closing Date; provided that with respect to any such Collateral the security interest in which may not be perfected by filing of a UCC financing statement or by possession of certificated Capital Stock of the Parent Borrower or its Domestic Subsidiaries (to the extent constituting Collateral) (provided that certificated Capital Stock of the Waterworks Business and its Subsidiaries will only be required to be delivered on the Closing Date to the extent received from the Sellers, so long as the Borrower Representative has used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain them on the Closing Date), if perfection of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Collateral may not be accomplished on or before the Closing Date after the applicable Loan Party’s commercially reasonable efforts to do so, then delivery of documents and instruments for perfection of such security interest shall not constitute a condition precedent to the initial borrowings hereunder if the applicable Loan Party agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered such documents and instruments, and take or cause to be taken such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to perfect such security interests in accordance with Subsection 7.12 and otherwise pursuant to arrangements to be mutually agreed by the applicable Loan Party and the Administrative Agent acting reasonably, but in no event later than the 91st day after the Closing Date (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion).
Liens and Security Interests Each Party grants to the other parties to this agreement a lien on any interest it now owns or later acquires in Oil and Gas Leases and Oil and Gas Interests in the Contract Area, and a security interest and/or purchase money security interest in any interest it now owns or later acquires in the personal property and fixtures on or used or obtained for use in connection with any interest, to secure performance of all of its obligations under this agreement including but not limited to payment of expense, interest and fees, the proper disbursement of all monies paid under this agreement, the assignment or relinquishment of interest in Oil and Gas Leases as required hereunder, and the proper performance of operations under this agreement. The lien and security interest granted by each Party shall include the Party’s leasehold interests, working interests, operating rights, and royalty and overriding royalty interests in the Contract Area now owned or later acquired and in lands pooled or unitized with them, or otherwise becoming subject to this agreement, the Oil and Gas when extracted and equipment situated on or used or obtained for use in connection with the Contract Area (including, without limitation, all xxxxx, tools, and tubular goods), and accounts (including, without limitation, accounts arising from gas imbalances or from the sale of Oil and/or Gas at the wellhead), contract rights, inventory, and general intangibles relating to or arising from them, and all proceeds and products of the foregoing. To perfect the lien and security agreement provided, each Party shall execute and acknowledge the recording supplement and/or any financing statement prepared and submitted by any Party in conjunction with or at any time following execution of this agreement, and Operator is authorized to file this agreement or the recording supplement as a lien or mortgage in the applicable real estate records and as a financing statement with the proper officer under the Uniform Commercial Code in the state in which the Contract Area is situated and such other states as Operator shall deem appropriate to perfect the security interest granted. Any Party may file this agreement, the recording supplement, or other documents as it deems necessary as a lien or mortgage in the applicable real estate records and/or a financing statement with the proper officer under the Uniform Commercial Code. Each Party represents and warrants to the other parties that the lien and security interest granted by a Party to the other parties shall be a first and prior lien, and each Party agrees to maintain the priority of the lien and security interest against all persons acquiring an interest in Oil and Gas Leases and Interests covered by this agreement by, through, or under the Party. All parties acquiring an interest in Oil and Gas Leases and Oil and Gas Interests covered by this agreement, whether by assignment, merger, mortgage, operation of law, or otherwise, shall be deemed to have taken subject to the lien and security interest granted by this Article VII.B. as to all obligations attributable to the interest under this agreement whether or not the obligations arise before or after the interest is acquired. To the extent that parties have a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which the Contract Area is situated, they shall be entitled to exercise the rights and remedies of a secured Party under the Code. The bringing of a suit and the obtaining of judgment by a Party for the secured indebtedness shall not be deemed an election of remedies or otherwise affect the lien rights or security interest as security for the payment of the indebtedness. In addition, on default by any Party in the payment of its share of expenses, interests or fees, or upon the improper use of funds by the Operator, the other parties shall have the right, without prejudice to other rights or remedies, to collect from the purchaser the proceeds from the sale of the defaulting Party’s share of Oil and Gas until the amount owed by the Party, plus interest as provided in Exhibit “C,” has been received, and shall have the right to offset the amount owed against the proceeds from the sale of the defaulting Party’s share of Oil and Gas. All purchasers of production may rely on a notification of default from the non-defaulting Party or parties stating the amount due as a result of the default, and all parties waive any recourse available against purchasers for releasing production proceeds as provided in this paragraph. If any Party fails to pay its share of cost within one hundred twenty (120) days after rendition of a statement of them by Operator, the non-defaulting parties, including Operator, shall, on request by Operator, pay the unpaid amount in the proportion that the interest of each Party bears to the interest of all parties. The amount paid by each Party paying its share of the unpaid amount shall be secured by the liens and security rights described in Article VII.B., and each paying Party may independently pursue any remedy available under this agreement or otherwise. If any Party does not perform all of its obligations under this agreement, and the failure to perform subjects that Party to foreclosure or execution proceedings pursuant to the provisions of this agreement, to the extent allowed by governing law, the defaulting Party waives any available right of redemption from and after the date of judgment, any required valuation or appraisement of the mortgaged or secured property prior to sale, any available right to stay execution or to require a marshalling of assets and any required bond in the event a receiver is appointed. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Party grants to the other parties a power of sale as to any property that is subject to the lien and security rights granted by this agreement, the power to be exercised in the manner provided by applicable law or otherwise in a commercially reasonable manner and on reasonable notice. Each Party agrees that the other parties shall be entitled to utilize the provisions of Oil and Gas lien law or other lien law of any state in which the Contract Area is situated to enforce the obligations of each Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Non-Operators agree that Operator may invoke or utilize the mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien law of the state in which the Contract Area is situated in order to secure the payment to Operator of any sum due under this agreement for services performed or materials supplied by Operator.
