Rights in Collateral; Priority of Liens Borrower and each other Loan Party own the property granted by it as Collateral under the Collateral Documents, free and clear of any and all Liens in favor of third parties. Upon the proper filing of UCC financing statements, and the taking of the other actions required by the Required Lenders, the Liens granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents will constitute valid and enforceable first, prior and perfected Liens on the Collateral in favor of Agent, for the ratable benefit of Agent and Lenders.
Relative Priorities Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection (if any) of any Liens securing the Senior Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations granted on the Junior Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, or any other applicable Law or the Senior Loan Documents or the Junior Lien Documents, or whether any Senior Secured Party or Junior Secured Party holds possession of all or any part of the Junior Collateral, or any defect or deficiencies in, or failure to perfect, or avoidance as a fraudulent conveyance or otherwise of, the Liens securing the Senior Obligations or the Junior Lien Obligations or any other circumstance whatsoever, each Junior Secured Party agrees that (a) any Lien on the Junior Collateral securing any Senior Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any Senior Secured Party or any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Junior Collateral securing any Junior Lien Obligations, (b) any Lien on the Junior Collateral securing any Junior Lien Obligations now or hereafter held by any Junior Lender or Junior Lien Representative (or any other agent or trustee therefore) regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be (x) junior and subordinate in all respects to the rights and interests of the Senior Secured Parties and all Liens on the Junior Collateral securing any Senior Obligations, in each case as provided in this Agreement and (y) equal and ratable in all respects with the rights and interests of all other Junior Secured Parties.
Lien Priority Any Lien created hereunder or by any other Loan Document shall at any time fail to constitute a valid and perfected Lien on any of the Collateral purported to be secured thereby, subject to no prior or equal Lien, other than Permitted Liens which are permitted to have priority in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Lien Priorities Notwithstanding (a) the date, manner or order of filing, recordation, or perfection of the security interests or liens granted in favor of Moriah and the Notes Collateral Agent, (b) any provisions of the UCC, or any applicable law or decision, (c) the provisions of the Moriah Loan Agreements, Noteholder Agreements or any contract between any of the Creditors on one hand, and the Borrower or any affiliate thereof, on the other hand, or (d) whether either Moriah or the Notes Collateral Agent holds possession of all or any part of the Collateral, the following, as between Moriah and the Notes Collateral Agent, shall be the relative priority of the security interests and liens of Moriah and the Notes Collateral Agent in the Collateral: (a) Moriah shall have a first and prior security interest to the extent set forth herein in all Accounts and Inventory as defined in the Section 9-102 of the UCC. The Notes Collateral Agent shall have a second and subordinate security interest in the foregoing property and interests in such property; provided, that, any amount of the Moriah Claim in excess of the Maximum Moriah Debt at any time outstanding (together with the interest on such excess) shall not be entitled to the benefit of the priority of the security interest of Moriah provided for in this Section 2.1(a). (b) The Notes Collateral Agent shall have a first and prior security interest in the remainder of the Collateral that is the subject of the Noteholder Agreements and Moriah shall have a second and subordinate security interest in such Notes Collateral whether now owned or hereafter created by any Loan Party. Neither Moriah nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall contest the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of any lien or security interest heretofore granted to the other Party or granted in connection herewith or contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding any failure of a Party to perfect its security interests in any Collateral or any other defect in any security interests or obligations owing to such Party, the priority and rights as between the parties hereto shall be as set forth herein.
Collateral Protection Expenses Preservation of Collateral (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent may discharge taxes and other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on any of the Collateral, make repairs thereto and pay any necessary filing fees. Each Grantor agrees to reimburse the Agent on demand for any and all expenditures so made. The Agent shall have no obligation to any Grantor to make any such expenditures, nor shall the making thereof relieve any Grantor of any default. (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each contract or agreement comprised in the Collateral to be observed or performed by such Grantor thereunder. The Agent shall not have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Agent of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall the Agent be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Agent in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Agent or to which the Agent may be entitled at any time or times. The Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Sections 9-207 and 9-208 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as the Agent deals with similar property for its own account. (c) Each Grantor shall, to the extent reasonably necessary to preserve and maintain the Intellectual Property Collateral and the interest of the Agent therein, diligently pursue legal or other action to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral and any licenses thereof.
