To the extent perfection of the security interest in such Pledged Collateral is required by this Agreement, the Interim Order or the Final Order, the security interest and Lien granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement in and on such Pledged Collateral will at all times constitute a perfected security interest and Lien prior to all other Liens, except for Other Prepetition Liens and the Carve Out.

The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to inquire about such changes if any Pledgor does not inform the Administrative Agent of such changes, the parties acknowledging and agreeing that it would not be feasible or practical for the Administrative Agent to search for information on such changes if such information is not provided by any Pledgor.
