(c) The Company shall, at its own expense, take any and all actions necessary to defend title to the Collateral against all persons and to defend the Security Interests and the priority thereof against any other Lien.
(d) The Company agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as Citi may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements or other documents in connection herewith or therewith.
(e) Citi and such persons as Citi may reasonably designate shall have the right, at the Company’s own cost and expense, during regular business hours upon reasonable prior notice to inspect the Collateral, all records related thereto (and to make extracts and copies from such records) and the premises upon which any of the Collateral is located, to discuss the Company’s affairs with the officers of the Company and its independent accountants and to verify under reasonable procedures, in accordance with Article 24 of the Intermediation Agreement, the validity, amount, quality, quantity, value, condition and status of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral, including, in the case of Collateral in the possession of any third person, by contacting the third person possessing such Collateral for the purpose of making such a verification.
(f) At its option, Citi may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Collateral that are not being contested in accordance with Section 16.2 of the Intermediation Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral to the extent the Company fails to do so as required by this Agreement or the Intermediation Agreement, and the Company agrees to reimburse Citi on written demand for all reasonable and documented payments made or out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Citi pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing the Company from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on Citi to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of the Company with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the Transaction Documents,
(g) The Company shall remain liable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Citi from and against any and all liability for such performance.
