Common use of Separate Liens and Classifications Clause in Contracts

Separate Liens and Classifications. Each Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Lien Secured Parties, and each First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other First Lien Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Security Documents and the Second Lien Security Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Second Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the First Lien Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence and without limiting Section 5.03, if it is held that the claims of the First Lien Secured Parties and the Second Lien Secured Parties in respect of the Shared Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the provisions hereof, all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Shared Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Shared Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Lien Secured Parties) to satisfy the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts otherwise distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest, fees and other claims constituting First Lien Obligations, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to each First Lien Credit Document, arising from or related to a default, which is included in the First Lien Obligations but which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Second Lien Secured Parties with respect to, or on account of the value of, the Collateral, and each Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Lien Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges and agrees to turn over to the appropriate First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other First Lien Secured Parties, amounts otherwise received or receivable by the Second Lien Secured Parties to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence (with respect to the payment of post-petition interest), even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Lien Secured Parties.
