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).
