(b)at the Borrower’s expense, the Borrower (or its designee) is authorized to file UCC termination statements and other appropriate documents to terminate the security interests, liens and other rights on or in the Collateral under the Transaction Documents, and the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower all possessory collateral (if any) held by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Transaction Documents;

(c)at the Borrower’s expense, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower other appropriate documents reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower in order to notify the applicable financial institutions of the termination of the security interest and control of the Administrative Agent in any deposit or securities accounts that are part of the Collateral and to otherwise effectuate the release of liens contemplated herein.
