Each Obligor irrevocably authorizes the Secured Parties at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any jurisdiction any initial financing statement or amendment thereto that indicates the collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” of such Obligor or words of similar effect. Such Obligor will pay the cost of filing the same in all public offices wherever filing is, or is deemed by the Secured Parties to be, necessary or desirable to effect the rights and obligations provided for herein.

(m) Such Obligor shall promptly execute and deliver to the Secured Parties such further deeds, mortgages, fixture filings, assignments, security agreements, financing statements or other instruments, documents, certificates and assurances and take such further action as any Secured Party may from time to time request and may in its sole discretion deem necessary to perfect, protect or enforce its security interest in the Collateral or any additional collateral, including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of separate mortgages and fixture filings, which shall be satisfactory to the Secured Parties in their sole discretion for real or personal property interest.
