The [Seller] hereby covenants that the [Seller] shall not attempt to transfer to any other person any interest in any MPN Loan assigned hereunder. The [Seller] hereby authorizes the Indenture Trustee to file a UCC-1 financing statement identifying the [Seller] as debtor and the Indenture Trustee as secured party and describing the Loans sold pursuant to this Agreement. The preparation or filing of such UCC-1 financing statement is solely for additional protection of the Indenture Trustee's interest in the MPN Loans and shall not be deemed to contradict the express intent of the [Seller] and the Indenture Trustee that the transfer of MPN Loans under this Agreement is an absolute assignment of such MPN Loans and is not a transfer of such MPN Loans as security for a debt."]
