Each party hereto hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to prepare and file such financing statements (including continuation statements) or amendments thereof or supplements thereto as the Administrative Agent may from time to time deem necessary or appropriate in order to perfect and maintain the security interests granted by Calumet and each Guarantor pursuant to the Security Agreement as modified hereby.
