Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will join with the Secured Party upon the Secured Party’s request in notifying any Person who has possession of any Collateral of the Secured Party’s security interest therein and requesting an acknowledgment from such Person that it is holding the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Party.
