exercise of its remedies hereunder and under Section 10.3 of the Credit Agreement. Nothwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Committee shall be permitted to investigate and commence any claim or action with regard to the Liens and security interests granted herein, which Liens and security interests shall be subject to avoidance if such claims and actions are successful.
