In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this paragraph and any release or termination provisions set forth in the Collateral Agreement or any other Security Document, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control.
		

		
			(b) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Loan Party (other than to Murphy USA, the Company or any other Subsidiary) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest created under any Security Document in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02, the security interests in such Collateral created by the Security Documents shall be automatically released; provided that (i) at any time when any Permitted Non-ABL Indebtedness is outstanding, no such release shall occur unless, substantially concurrently therewith, all Liens on such Collateral securing any such Permitted Non-ABL Indebtedness shall have been released and (ii) the Company shall have given the Administrative Agent written notice of such transaction, together with such information as shall be required for the Administrative Agent to adjust the Borrowing Base to reflect such disposition,  to the extent required by the definition of the term “Borrowing Base”.

			14

		

		

			 

		

		the Collateral Agreement or any other Security Document, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control.
		

		
			(c) The Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby further irrevocably authorize (i) the release of Liens on the Non-ABL Priority Collateral as provided in each Permitted Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) the release of Liens on the Collateral as provided in the Security Documents.
		

		
			(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.

				 (iii)
			Article IX of the Credit Agreement is hereby further amended to add a new Section 9.19 as follows:

		
			“SECTION 9.19.  Permitted Intercreditor Agreement.  (a) Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties acknowledges that obligations of the Company and the other Loan Parties under the Permitted Non-ABL Indebtedness, upon incurrence thereof, may be secured by Liens on assets of the Company and the other Loan Parties that constitute Collateral (and by fee-owned real property of the Company and the other Loan Parties, whether or not such fee-owned real property constitutes Collateral), and that the relative Lien priority and other creditor rights of the Secured Parties and the secured parties in respect of Permitted Non-ABL Indebtedness will be set forth in a Permitted Intercreditor Agreement.  Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, in each case on behalf of such Secured Party and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Secured Party, (i) from time to time upon the request of the Company, in connection with the establishment, incurrence, amendment, refinancing or replacement of any Permitted Non-ABL Indebtedness, any Permitted Intercreditor Agreement (it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and directed to determine the terms and conditions of any such Permitted Intercreditor Agreement as contemplated by the definition of the term “Permitted Intercreditor Agreement”, and that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Secured Party, or by any Loan Party, as a result of, any such determination) and (ii) any documents relating thereto.
		

		
			(b) Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably (i) consents to the subordination of the Liens on the Non-ABL Priority Collateral securing the Secured Obligations on the terms set forth in each Permitted Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) agrees that, upon the execution and 
		

		 

		

			

		

 

		

			15

		

		

			 

		

		delivery thereof, such Secured Party will be bound by the provisions of each Permitted Intercreditor Agreement as if it were a signatory thereto and will take no actions contrary to the provisions thereof, (iii) agrees that no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of any action taken by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section or in accordance with the terms of any Permitted Intercreditor Agreement and (iv) authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to carry out the provisions and intent of each such document.
		

		
			(c) Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably further authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, in each case on behalf of such Secured Party and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Secured Party, any amendments, supplements or other modifications of each Permitted Intercreditor Agreement that the Company may from time to time request (i) to give effect to any establishment, incurrence, amendment, extension, renewal, refinancing or replacement of any Permitted Non-ABL Indebtedness, (ii) to confirm for any party that the Intercreditor Agreement is effective and binding upon the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties or (iii) to effect any other amendment, supplement or modification so long as the resulting agreement would constitute a Permitted Intercreditor Agreement if executed at such time as a new agreement.
		

		
			(d) Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably further authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, in each case on behalf of such Secured Party and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Secured Party, any amendments, supplements or other modifications of any Security Document to add or remove any legend that may be required pursuant to any Permitted Intercreditor Agreement.
		

		
			(e) Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties acknowledges and agrees that JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., or one or more of its Affiliates may (but is not obligated to) act as administrative agent, collateral agent or a similar representative for the holders of any Permitted Non-ABL Indebtedness and, in such capacity, may be a party to any Permitted Intercreditor Agreement.  Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties waives any conflict of interest in connection therewith and agrees not to assert against JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or any of its Affiliates any claims, causes of action, damages or liabilities of whatever kind or nature relating thereto.
		

		
			(f) The Administrative Agent shall have the benefit of the provisions of Article VIII and Section 9.03 with respect to all actions taken by it pursuant to this Section or in accordance with the terms of any Permitted Intercreditor Agreement to the full extent thereof.
		

		 

		

			

		

 

		

			16

		

		

			 

		

		
			(g)  Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Secured Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Section 9.19.”
