Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (I)(x) if the First-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral, then the Applicable Second Lien Agent may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral, so long as, with respect to the Common Collateral, such Lien is subordinated to the adequate protection Lien granted to the holders of the applicable First-Priority Lien Obligations, on the same basis as the other Liens securing Second-Priority Lien Obligations on the Common Collateral are subordinated to the Liens on Common Collateral securing the First-Priority Lien Obligations under this Agreement and (y) each of the Applicable Second Lien Agent, Second-Priority Lien Obligations Representatives and Second-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties hereby agrees that in the event the Applicable Second Lien Agent seeks or requests adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral, then the First-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties (or the Applicable First Lien Agent or the relevant First-Priority Lien Obligations Representative(s) acting on their behalf) shall also be granted a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral as adequate protection for the First-Priority Lien Obligations and that any adequate protection Lien on such additional or replacement collateral that constitutes Common Collateral securing the Second-Priority Lien Obligations shall be subordinated to the adequate protection Liens on such collateral granted to the holders of the First-Priority Lien Obligations and any other Liens on Common Collateral granted to the holders of First-Priority Lien Obligations on the same basis as the Liens securing Second-Priority Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing the First-Priority Lien Obligations under this Agreement, and (II)(x) if the First-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of a superpriority administrative claim, then the Applicable Second Lien Agent may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a superpriority administrative claim, so long as such claim is subordinated to the adequate protection superpriority claim granted to the holders of the applicable First-Priority Lien Obligations on the same basis as the other claims with respect to the Second-Priority Lien Obligations are subordinated to the claims with respect to the First-Priority Lien Obligations under this Agreement and (y) each of the Applicable Second Lien Agent, Second-Priority Lien Obligations Representatives and Second-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties hereby agrees that in the event the Applicable Second Lien Agent seeks or requests adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a superpriority administrative claim, then the First-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties (or the Applicable First Lien Agent or the relevant First-Priority Lien Obligations Representative(s) acting on their behalf) shall also be granted a

superpriority administrative claim and that any claim granted with respect to the Second-Priority Lien Obligations shall be subordinated to the superpriority administrative claim granted with respect to the First-Priority Lien Obligations as adequate protection on the same basis as the claims with respect to the Second-Priority Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the claims with respect to the First-Priority Lien Obligations under this Agreement.

(f) Each of the Applicable Second Lien Agent, Second-Priority Lien Obligations Representatives and other Second-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties hereby agrees that (i) it will not oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Applicable First Lien Agent, any First-Priority Lien Obligations Representative or any other First-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Party for allowance of First-Priority Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Applicable First Lien Agent’s Lien on the Common Collateral, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Second-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties on the Common Collateral; and (ii) until the Discharge of First-Priority Lien Obligations has occurred, the Applicable Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself, the Second-Priority Lien Obligations Representatives and the Second-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties, will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code senior to or on a parity with the Liens on Common Collateral securing the First-Priority Lien Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral.

(g) The Applicable Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself, the Notes Facility Agent, the Notes Facility Secured Parties, each Other Second-Priority Lien Obligations Agent and the Other Second-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties of the applicable Series, and the Applicable First Lien Agent, on behalf of itself, the RBL Facility Agent, the RBL Facility Secured Parties, each Other First-Priority Lien Obligations Agent and the Other First-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties of the applicable Series, acknowledges and intends that: the grants of Liens pursuant to the Second-Priority Lien Obligations Security Documents, on the one hand, and the First-Priority Lien Obligations Security Documents, on the other hand, constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens, and because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the First-Priority Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the Second-Priority Lien Obligations and must be separately classified in any Plan of Reorganization proposed or confirmed (or approved) in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the First-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties and the Second-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties in respect of any Collateral constitute claims in the same class (rather than separate classes of secured claims), then the First-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties and the Second-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions from the Common Collateral shall be made as if there were separate classes of First-Priority Lien Obligations and Second-Priority Lien Obligations against the Grantors (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Common Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties ), the First-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees or expenses that are available from the Common Collateral (regardless of whether any such claims may or may not be allowed or allowable in whole or in part as against the Company or any of the Grantors in the applicable Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding(s) pursuant to Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or

otherwise) before any distribution is made in respect of the Second-Priority Lien Obligations from, or with respect to, such Collateral, with the holder of such Second-Priority Lien Obligations hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the respective other Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from, or with respect to, such Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing their aggregate recoveries).

(h) If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of First-Priority Lien Obligations and on account of Second-Priority Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First-Priority Lien Obligations and on account of the Second-Priority Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the Common Collateral, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the debt obligations so distributed, to the Liens securing such debt obligations and the distribution of proceeds thereof.

SECTION 2.07. Reinstatement. In the event that any of the First-Priority Lien Obligations shall have been paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all such First-Priority Lien Obligations shall again have been paid in full in cash.

SECTION 2.08. Insurance. As between the Applicable First Lien Agent, on the one hand, and the Applicable Second Lien Agent, the Notes Facility Agent and any Other Second-Priority Lien Obligations Agent, on the other hand, only the Applicable First Lien Agent will have the right (subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Notes Facility Documents, the RBL Facility Documents, the Other First-Priority Lien Obligations Documents and the Other Second-Priority Lien Obligations Documents) to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering or constituting the Common Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Common Collateral.

SECTION 2.09. Refinancings. The RBL Facility Obligations, the Notes Facility Obligations, any Series of Other First-Priority Lien Obligations, any Series of Other Second-Priority Lien Obligations and the agreements or indentures governing them may be Refinanced, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the refinancing transaction under any RBL Facility Document, any Notes Facility Document, any applicable Other First-Priority Lien Obligations Document or any applicable Other Second-Priority Lien Obligations Document) of any Notes Facility Secured Party, any RBL Facility Secured Party, any Other First-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Party or any Other Second-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Party, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided, however, that the requirements set forth in Section 5.14 shall have been satisfied. In connection with any Refinancing contemplated by this Section 2.09, this Agreement may be amended at the request and sole expense of the

Company, and without the consent of any Representative, (a) to add parties (or any authorized agent or trustee therefor) providing any such Refinancing, (b) to confirm that such Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any First-Priority Lien Obligations shall have the same rights and priorities in respect of any Common Collateral vis-a-vis the Second-Priority Lien Obligations as the Indebtedness being Refinanced and (c) to confirm that such Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any Second-Priority Lien Obligations shall have the same rights and priorities in respect of any Common Collateral vis-a-vis the First-Priority Lien Obligations as the Indebtedness being Refinanced, all on the terms provided for herein immediately prior to such Refinancing.

SECTION 2.10. Amendments to Security Documents.

(a) Each of the Applicable Second Lien Agent and Second-Priority Lien Obligations Representatives agrees that each applicable Second-Priority Lien Obligations Document executed as of the date hereof shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the relevant Applicable First Lien Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the liens and security interests granted to [applicable Second Lien Representative] for the benefit of the [applicable Second-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties] pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by [applicable Second Lien Representative] hereunder or the application of proceeds (including insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds) of any Common Collateral, are subject to the provisions of the Additional Priority Lien Intercreditor Agreement dated as of November 29, 2016 (as amended, restated, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Additional Priority Lien Intercreditor Agreement”), among Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Notes Facility Agent and Applicable Second Lien Agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as RBL Facility Agent and Applicable First Lien Agent, EP Energy LLC and the Subsidiaries of EP Energy LLC party thereto. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Additional Priority Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Additional Priority Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.”

(b) In the event that any Applicable First Lien Agent, any First-Priority Lien Obligations Representative or any First-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Party enters into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of or replaces any First-Priority Lien Obligations Collateral Document for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any First-Priority Lien Obligations Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of such Applicable First Lien Agent, the applicable First-Priority Lien Obligations Representative or the applicable First-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties, the Company or any other Grantor thereunder (including the release of any Liens on any Common Collateral), then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each Comparable Second-Priority Lien Obligations

Collateral Document without the consent of the Applicable Second Lien Agent, any Second-Priority Lien Obligations Representative or any Second-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Party and without any action by any of the Applicable Second Lien Agent, Second-Priority Lien Obligations Representative or Second-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Party; provided, that such amendment, waiver or consent does not materially adversely affect the rights of the Applicable Second Lien Agent, any Second-Priority Lien Obligations Representative or any Second-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Party in the Common Collateral and not in the First-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties that have a security interest in the affected Collateral in a like or similar manner (without regard to the fact that the Liens of such First-Priority Lien Obligations Collateral Document are senior to the Liens of the Comparable Second-Priority Lien Obligations Collateral Document). The Applicable First Agent shall give written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent to the Applicable Second Lien Agent (which shall forward such notice upon receipt to each relevant Second-Priority Lien Obligations Representative); provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or consent with respect to the provisions of any Second-Priority Lien Obligations Collateral Document as set forth in this Section 2.10(b).

SECTION 2.11. Possessory Collateral Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection. (a) Each of the Applicable First Lien Agent and the Applicable Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the relevant Secured Parties, hereby agrees that: (i) each Possessory Collateral Agent shall hold the Possessory Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each Secured Party and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral pursuant to the Notes Facility Security Documents, the RBL Facility Security Documents, the Other First-Priority Lien Obligations Security Documents or the Other Second-Priority Lien Obligations Security Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.11; (ii) to the extent any Possessory Collateral is possessed by or is under the control of a Collateral Agent (either directly or through its agents or bailees) other than the Applicable Agent, such Collateral Agent shall deliver such Possessory Collateral to (or shall cause such Possessory Collateral to be delivered to) the Applicable Agent and shall take all actions reasonably requested in writing by the Applicable Agent to cause the Applicable Agent to have possession or control of same; and (iii) pending such delivery to the Applicable Agent, each other Collateral Agent shall hold any Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Secured Party and any assignee, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable RBL Facility Security Documents, Notes Facility Security Documents, Other First-Priority Lien Obligations Security Documents or Other Second-Priority Lien Obligations Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.11.

(b) The duties or responsibilities of the Possessory Collateral Agent and each other Collateral Agent under this Section 2.11 shall be limited solely to holding the Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the security interest held by the Secured Parties therein.

(c) Each of the Applicable First Lien Agent and First-Priority Lien Obligations Representatives hereby agrees that, upon the Discharge of all First-Priority Lien Obligations, it shall deliver to the Applicable Second Lien Agent, to the extent that it is legally

permitted to do so, the remaining Possessory Collateral (if any) held by it, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the Applicable Second Lien Agent to obtain control of such Possessory Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Company shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify the Possessory Collateral Agent for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of such transfer except for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. Neither the RBL Facility Agent nor any Other First-Priority Lien Obligations Agent shall be obligated to follow instructions from the Applicable Second Lien Agent in contravention of this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

EXISTENCE AND AMOUNTS OF LIENS AND OBLIGATIONS

Whenever a Representative shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any First-Priority Lien Obligations (or the existence of any commitment to extend credit that would constitute First-Priority Lien Obligations) or Second-Priority Lien Obligations, or the Collateral subject to any such Lien, it may request in writing that such information be furnished to it in writing by the other Representatives and shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that if a Representative shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the requesting Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Company. Each Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any Secured Party or any other Person as a result of such determination.

ARTICLE IV

SECTION 5.11. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the First-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties and the Second-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties in relation to one another. None of the Company, any other Grantor or any other creditor thereof shall have any rights or obligations hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement (provided that nothing in this Agreement (other than Section 2.05, 2.06, 2.10, 2.11 and Article V) is intended to or will amend, waive or otherwise modify the provisions of the Notes Facility, the RBL Facility, any Other First-Priority Lien Obligations Credit Documents or any Other Second-Priority Lien Obligations Credit Documents), and none of the Company, or any other Grantor may rely on the terms hereof (other than Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.10, 2.11 and Article V). Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Company or any other Grantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any RBL Facility Document, any Notes Facility Document, any Other First-Priority Lien Obligations Document or any Other Second-Priority Lien Obligations Document, the Grantors shall not be required to act or refrain from acting pursuant to this Agreement, any Notes Facility Document, or any Other Second-Priority Lien Obligations Document, as the case may be, with respect to any Common Collateral in any manner that would cause a default under any RBL Facility Document or any Other First-Priority Lien Obligations Document.

SECTION 5.12. Agent Capacities. Except as expressly set forth herein, none of the Notes Facility Agent, the RBL Facility Agent, the Other First-Priority Lien Obligations Agents or the Other Second-Priority Lien Obligations Agents shall have any duties or obligations in respect of any of the Collateral, all of such duties and obligations, if any, being subject to and governed by the Notes Facility Documents, the RBL Facility Documents, the applicable Other First-Priority Lien Obligations Documents or the applicable Other Second-Priority Lien Obligations Documents, as the case may be. It is understood and agreed that (i) JPM is entering into this Agreement in its capacity as administrative agent under the RBL Facility, and the provisions of Section 12 of the Credit Agreement referred to in clause (i) of the definition of the RBL Facility applicable to JPM as administrative agent and collateral agent thereunder shall also apply to JPM as the RBL Agent hereunder and (ii) Wilmington is entering into this Agreement in its capacity as trustee and collateral agent under the Indenture referred to in clause (i) of the definition of Notes Facility and collateral agent under the Notes Facility Security Documents.

SECTION 5.13. Supplements. Upon the execution by any Subsidiary of the Company of a supplement hereto in form and substance satisfactory to the Applicable First Lien Agent and the Applicable Second Lien Agent, such Subsidiary shall be a party to this Agreement and shall be bound by the provisions hereof to the same extent as the Company and each Grantor are so bound.

SECTION 5.14. Requirements For Consent and Acknowledgment. The Company may designate hereunder additional obligations as RBL Facility Obligations, Notes Facility Obligations, Other First-Priority Lien Obligations, Other Second-Priority Lien Obligations or as a Refinancing of the First-Priority Lien Obligations or Second-Priority Lien Obligations of any Series if the incurrence of such obligations is permitted under each of the

First-Priority Lien Obligations Documents, the Second-Priority Lien Obligations Documents and this Agreement. If so permitted, the Company shall (i) notify the Applicable First Lien Agent in writing of such designation (and the Applicable First Lien Agent shall forward such notice to each Representative then existing) and (ii) cause any applicable agent in connection with such designation or Refinancing to execute and deliver to each Representative then existing, a Consent and Acknowledgment substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2, as applicable, hereto. In connection with any Other First-Priority Lien Obligations or Other Second-Priority Lien Obligations contemplated by this Section 5.14, this Agreement may be amended at the request and sole expense of the Company, by the Applicable First Lien Agent and the Applicable Second Lien Agent (without the consent of any Secured Party hereunder) (a) to add parties (or any authorized agent or trustee therefor) providing any such obligations, (b) to confirm that the holders of such Other First-Priority Lien Obligations shall have the same rights and priorities with respect to the Collateral vis-a-vis the holders of the Second-Priority Lien Obligations as the other First-Priority Obligations and (c) to confirm that such Other Second-Priority Lien Obligations shall have the same rights and priorities with respect to the Collateral vis-a-vis the holders of the First-Priority Lien Obligations as the other Second-Priority Obligations.

SECTION 5.15. Intercreditor Agreements.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each party hereto agrees that the First-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties (as among themselves) and the Second-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties (as among themselves) may each enter into intercreditor agreements (or similar arrangements) with the Applicable First Lien Agent or the Applicable Second Lien Agent, respectively, governing the rights, benefits and privileges as among the First-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties or the Second-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Parties, as the case may be, in respect of the Common Collateral, this Agreement, the RBL Facility Security Documents, any Other First-Priority Lien Obligations Security Documents, the Notes Facility Security Documents or any Other Second-Priority Lien Obligations Security Documents, as the case may be, including as to the application of Proceeds of the Common Collateral, the priority in respect of the Common Collateral, voting rights, control of the Common Collateral and waivers with respect to the Common Collateral, in each case so long as the terms thereof do not violate or conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, any First-Priority Lien Obligations Documents or any Second-Priority Lien Obligations Documents, as the case may be. In any event, if a respective intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement) exists, the provisions thereof shall not be (or be construed to be) an amendment, modification or other change to this Agreement, any First-Priority Lien Obligations Document or any Second-Priority Lien Obligations Document, and the provisions of this Agreement and the First-Priority Lien Obligations Documents and Second-Priority Lien Obligations Documents shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (as such provisions may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, including to give effect to any such intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement)).

SECTION 5.16. Other Junior Intercreditor Agreements. In addition, in the event that the Company or any Subsidiary incurs any obligations secured by a lien on any Collateral that is junior to any Series of First-Priority Lien Obligations (and not designated

hereunder as Second-Priority Lien Obligations) or junior to the Second-Priority Lien Obligations, then the Applicable First Lien Agent and/or the Applicable Second Lien Agent may enter into an intercreditor agreement with the agent or trustee for the lenders with respect to such secured obligations to reflect the relative lien priorities of such parties with respect to the Collateral and governing the relative rights, benefits and privileges as among such parties in respect of the Collateral, including as to application of Proceeds of the Collateral, priority in respect of Common Collateral, voting rights, control of the Collateral and waivers with respect to the Collateral, in each case so long as such secured obligations are permitted under, and the terms of such intercreditor agreement do not violate or conflict with, the provisions of this Agreement or any of the First-Priority Lien Obligations Documents or the Second-Priority Lien Obligations Documents, as the case may be. If any such intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement) is entered into, the provisions thereof shall not be (or be construed to be) an amendment, modification or other change to this Agreement, any First-Priority Lien Obligations Documents or any Second-Priority Lien Obligations Documents, and the provisions of this Agreement, the First-Priority Lien Obligations Documents and the Second-Priority Lien Obligations Documents shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (as such provisions may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time in accordance with the respective terms thereof, including to give effect to any intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement)).

SECTION 5.17. Further Assurances.

Each of the Applicable First Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable First-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Party, and the Applicable Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself, each Second-Priority Lien Obligations Representative and each other Second-Priority Lien Obligations Secured Party, agrees that it and each of them shall take such further action and shall execute and deliver to the other persons such additional documents and instruments (in recordable form, if requested) as the relevant First-Priority Lien Obligations Representative or the relevant Second-Priority Lien Obligations Representative may reasonably request in writing to effectuate the terms of, and the Lien priorities contemplated by, this Agreement.
