Each Pension Fund Secured Party, Bank Group Secured Party and Convertible Note Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Bank Group Security Documents, the Pension Fund Security Documents and the Convertible Note Security Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the applicable Common Collateral, (i) the Bank Group Obligations, the Convertible Note Obligations and the Pension Fund Obligations secured by the Pension Fund Collateral are fundamentally different from each other and (ii) the Bank Group Obligations and Convertible Note Obligations secured by the Bank Group Priority Common Collateral are fundamentally different from each other, and in each case must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding.
