(d) Until SLR Repayment, Debenture Creditor hereby agrees that it shall not exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the EB Priority Collateral unless Debenture Creditor reasonably provides SLR access to any of the EB Priority Collateral as SLR may need in connection with the collection of its SLR Priority Collateral. Debenture Creditor may dispose of, and exercise any other rights with respect to, any or all of the EB Priority Collateral, free of the Liens of SLR, provided that SLR retains any rights it may have as a junior secured creditor with respect to the surplus, if any, arising from any such disposition or enforcement. Upon any disposition of any of the EB Priority Collateral by Debenture Creditor in accordance with the terms and conditions of this paragraph, SLR (a) agrees, if requested, to execute and immediately deliver any and all releases or other documents or agreements which Debenture Creditor deems necessary to accomplish a disposition thereof free of the Liens of SLR, and (b) authorizes Debenture Creditor to record, or cause to have recorded, any UCC financing statements which Debenture Creditor deems necessary to accomplish a disposition thereof free of the Liens of SLR (it being understood that Debenture Creditor shall not be authorized to release any Lien of SLR with respect to any SLR Priority Collateral).
