		No payment, transfer or withdrawal from any of the Issuer Accounts may be made under this Clause 6 at any time after a Bond Enforcement Notice has been served except with the prior written consent of the Trustee.

6.2		Priority of payments prior to service of a Bond Enforcement Notice

		Notwithstanding the Security Interests created by or pursuant to Clause 3, and provided that no Bond Enforcement Notice has been served and the Trustee has not taken any steps to enforce the Security, the Cash Manager (on behalf of the Issuer and the Trustee) shall apply all of the Issuer’s funds (except (i) any amounts and JGB’s posted as collateral under the Swap Agreement and standing to the credit of the Collateral Accounts (ii) Eligible Dividends and (iii) other than on the date on which the Bonds are redeemable, Acquisition Adjustment Amounts) in accordance with the Pre-Enforcement Priority of Payments and shall instruct the Account Bank, or cause the Account Bank to be instructed, to withdraw (unless the intended recipient of the relevant payment agrees otherwise) monies from the Issuer Accounts to be applied in accordance with the Pre-Enforcement Priority of Payments.

		The Interest Letter of Credit shall be drawn for an amount equal to all payments outlined in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (h) of the Pre-Enforcement Priority of Payments (the “Pre-Enforcement Permitted Expenses Draw Amount”). Any such Pre-Enforcement Permitted Expenses Draw Amount shall form part of the funds of the Issuer to be applied in accordance with the Pre-Enforcement Priority of Payments.

		After the Pre-Enforcement Permitted Expenses Draw Amount has been drawn, separately, the Interest Letter of Credit shall be drawn for an amount equal to the Swap Termination Payment due from the Issuer to the Swap Counterparty (if any) and gross-up payments due to the Swap Counterparty under Section 2(d) of the Swap Agreement (if any) (the “Swap Draw Amount”), and such amount shall be paid to the Swap Counterparty. Any such Swap Draw Amount shall not form part of the funds of the Issuer to be applied in accordance with the Pre-Enforcement Priority of Payments.

		Eligible Dividends (as defined in the Conditions) shall not form a part of the funds of the Issuer to be applied in accordance with the Pre-Enforcement Priority of Payments. Provided no Bond Enforcement Notice has been served, Eligible Dividends may be distributed to the Parent.

6.3		Eligible Investments

		Notwithstanding the Security Interests created by or pursuant to Clause 3, Eligible Investments may, on any Business Day, be sold or redeemed or disposed of or realised or otherwise deposited subject always to the other provisions of this Deed (including without limitation Clause 3.3) and to the provisions of Clause 5 (Investments) of Schedule 1 of the Cash Management Agreement.

6.4		VAT

		If any sums which are payable by the Issuer under Clauses 6.2 or 7.2 are subject to VAT, the Issuer shall make payment of the amount in respect of VAT against production of a valid VAT invoice to the relevant person in accordance with the order of priorities set out in those Clauses.

6.5		Management and Application of Funds

		The Issuer shall take or cause to be taken such action as may from time to time be necessary on its part to ensure that the relevant Issuer Accounts (as applicable, excluding the Collateral Accounts) shall from time to time be credited with all amounts received by the Issuer, including, without limitation, amounts falling within any of the following categories (but excluding cash collateral and JGBs governed by Clause 6.6):

	(a)		dividends or other amounts received by the Issuer from the HoldCos;

	(f)		such other payments received by the Issuer as are, or ought in accordance with this Deed to be, comprised in the Charged Property and which are not otherwise paid into the Issuer Accounts.

6.6

Collateral Accounts

The Collateral Accounts are established and may only be used for the following purposes:

6.6.1

Receiving

On any Business Day (as defined in the Conditions):

	(i)		the deposit of any cash collateral and/or JGBs (as defined in the Swap Agreement) received from the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement (in an amount notified to the Cash Manager and Trustee 1 Business Day prior to such deposit); and

	(ii)		interest on the Collateral Accounts and interest under the JGBs.

6.6.2

Paying

On any Business Day:

	(i)		to the Swap Counterparty, cash collateral and/or JGB’s (in an amount notified at least three Business Days prior to the requested date for payment and/or transfer to the Cash Manager by the Swap Counterparty) required to be repaid under the Swap Agreement; and

	(ii)		following the termination of the Swap Agreement, to the Issuer Revenue Account, all amounts standing to the credit of the Collateral Accounts which are not required to be paid to the Swap Counterparty under paragraph (i) above.

Following Service of a Bond Enforcement Notice

7.1		Bond Enforcement Notice

		From and including the time when the Trustee serves a Bond Enforcement Notice on the Issuer:

	(a)		no amount may be withdrawn from the Issuer Accounts without the prior written consent of the Trustee; and

	(b)		if not already crystallised, any charge created under or pursuant to this Deed, which is a floating charge, shall immediately and without further action on the part of the Trustee, crystallise and become a fixed charge.

7.2		Priority of payments upon service of a Bond Enforcement Notice

		Upon and after the service of a Bond Enforcement Notice, all funds (except any Return Amounts payable to the Swap Counterparty and standing to the credit of the Collateral Accounts) received by the Issuer or recovered by or on behalf of the Trustee or any Receiver for the benefit of the Secured Creditors (including funds recovered as a result of enforcement of the Security, Acquisition Adjustment Amounts and Eligible Dividends) shall be held by the Trustee on trust to be applied in the following order of priority (the “Post-Enforcement Priority of Payment”) (and, in each case, only if and to the extent that payments or provisions of a higher order of priority have been made in full):

	(a)		first, pro rata and pari passu, in or towards payment of all fees, costs, charges, expenses, liabilities and all other amounts due and payable to the Trustee under the Deed of Charge and under the Bond Trust Deed or any receiver appointed by the Trustee (including any taxes required to be paid, the costs of realising any Security and the Trustee’s remuneration) which have not been paid by the Issuer;

	(b)		second, pro rata and pari passu in or towards payment of any amounts due and payable to the Principal Paying Agent, the Paying Agents and the Calculation Agent under the Agency Agreement, to the Account Bank under the Accounts Bank Agreement and to the Cash Manager under the Cash Management Agreement;

	(c)		third, in or towards payment of any Fixed Amounts due to the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement;

	(d)		fourth, in or towards payment of due but unpaid interest under the Bonds (including gross-up payments to the Bondholders under Condition 8 (Taxation) and Default Interest);

	(e)		fifth, in or towards payment of the Principal Amount Outstanding under the Bonds and any Call Premium;

	(f)		sixth, in or towards payment of any amounts due to the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement and which are not paid either under paragraph (c) above or from the Swap Draw Amount;

	(g)		seventh, to pay any amounts due to the Servicer under the Administrative Services Agreement; and

	(h)		eighth, to pay the surplus (if any) to the Issuer.

The Interest Letter of Credit shall be drawn for an amount equal to all payments outlined in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) and (g) of the Post-Enforcement Priority of Payments above (the “Post-Enforcement Permitted Expenses Draw Amount”). Any such Post-Enforcement Permitted Expenses Draw Amount shall form part of the funds of the Issuer to be applied in accordance with the Post-Enforcement Priority of Payments.

After the Post-Enforcement Permitted Expenses Draw Amount is drawn, separately, from any remaining amounts available to be drawn under the Interest Letter of Credit, an amount equal to the Swap Draw Amount (if any) shall be drawn and paid to the Swap Counterparty. Any such Swap Draw Amount shall not form part of the funds of the Issuer to be applied in accordance with the Post-Enforcement Priority of Payments.

Eligible Dividends and Acquisition Adjustment Amounts shall form part of the funds of the Issuer to be applied in accordance with the Post-Enforcement Priority of Payments.

Upon an Event of Default and/or Termination Event occurring (each term as defined in the Swap Agreement) in respect of the Issuer, the Trustee shall, but without any liability, personal or otherwise, in respect thereof to the Swap Counterparty or any other person, direct the Cash Manager to pay, as soon as reasonably practicable, any Return Amount (as such term is defined in the Credit Support Annex attached to the Swap Agreement) to the Swap Counterparty (the “Return Amount”) out of the amounts and JGB’s posted as collateral (the “Posted Collateral”) under the Swap Agreement. The Swap Counterparty agrees that it shall give 5 clear Business Days’ notice to the Trustee and Cash Manager of the quantum of the Return Amount and such information to the Trustee and Cash Manager’s satisfaction concerning the account to which the Return Amount shall be remitted. The Issuer undertakes (i) to deposit all Posted Collateral into the relevant Collateral Account and (ii) to only pay out amounts standing to the credit of the Collateral Accounts in respect of Posted Collateral, either to pay the Return Amount payable to the Swap Counterparty when due or to transfer the Posted Collateral less the Return Amount to the Issuer Revenue Account following any termination of the Swap Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Clause 7.2 is intended to, nor shall, create a trust. The parties agree that the Trustee and the Cash Manager shall be entitled to deduct any direct or indirect costs and expenses they incur in carrying out the actions described in this paragraph. In their sole discretion, the Trustee and Cash Manager shall be entitled to

require satisfactory indemnity and/or security before they carry out any action contemplated in this paragraph.

8		Acknowledgement of Secured Creditors

8.1		Each of the Secured Creditors (other than the Trustee and the Bondholders) hereby acknowledges and concurs with all the provisions of the Bond Trust Deed and acknowledges that the Trustee shall not have regard to the interests of the other Secured Creditors and each of them agrees that it shall have no claim against the Trustee as a result of the application thereof.

8.2		Without prejudice to Clause 8.1 above, the Issuer hereby gives notice to each of the other parties to this Deed, and each of the parties to this Deed (other than the Issuer) acknowledges receipt of such notice, that the Issuer has made the assignment to the Trustee pursuant to Clause 3.2 and in accordance with the terms hereof.

8.3		Each of the Secured Creditors (other than the Bondholders) hereby acknowledges that no amendment may be made to a Transaction Document without the consent of all parties to such Transaction Document unless the Trustee is of the opinion that such modification is of a formal, minor or technical nature or, is to correct a manifest error.

9		The Trustee’s Powers

9.1		Enforceability and Bond Enforcement Notice

	(a)		The security created under and pursuant to this Deed shall become immediately enforceable and the power of sale and other powers conferred by section 101 of the Law of Property Xxx 0000 (the “1925 Act”), as varied or amended by this Deed, shall be exercisable by the Trustee forthwith upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

	(b)		The Trustee will as soon as practicable notify each Secured Creditor of any enforcement of the Security.

The provisions of the 1925 Act (to the extent applicable) relating to the power of sale and the other powers conferred by sections 101(1) and (2) are hereby extended in relation to the Issuer (as if such extensions were contained therein) to authorise the Trustee, and the Trustee is hereby authorised, at its absolute discretion at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default and subject to the Trustee being satisfied as to the indemnification available to it in relation to the exercise of such powers:

	(a)		to make demands in the name of the Secured Creditors or in its own right for any moneys and liabilities in respect of the Charged Property;

	(b)		to sell, transfer, convey, vary or otherwise dispose of the Issuer’s title to or interest in the Charged Property, and to do so for any shares, debentures or other securities whatsoever, or in consideration of an agreement to pay all or part of the purchase price at a later date or dates, or an agreement to make periodical payments, whether or not the agreement is subject to a Security Interest or a guarantee, or for such other consideration whatsoever as the Trustee may think fit, and also to grant any option to purchase, and to effect exchanges of, any of the Charged Property;

	(c)		with a view to, or in connection with, selling the Charged Property (or offering it for sale) to repair, replace and develop the Charged Property and to apply for any appropriate permission, licence, registration or approval;

	(d)		to sever any fixtures and to sell them apart from the land or buildings on or to which they are affixed, and also to apportion any rent affecting the property sold, to charge such rent upon the property sold or retained and to agree to indemnify by any means any purchaser in respect of such rent or any covenants or undertakings, or to take an indemnity or reserve powers of entry in respect of the property sold or retained;

	(e)		with a view to or in connection with the sale of the Charged Property, to carry out any transaction, scheme or arrangement which the Trustee may, in its absolute discretion, consider appropriate;

	(c)		in connection with the Charged Property; or

	(d)		in connection with or arising from the enforcement of the Security.

		The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to insure in respect of such liabilities and/or obligations, but to the extent that it does so, the Issuer shall on written request pay all insurance premiums and expenses which the Trustee may properly incur in relation to such insurance. If the Issuer fails to reimburse the Trustee, the Trustee shall be entitled to be indemnified out of the Charged Property in respect thereof, and in the case of a Bond Enforcement Notice having been served, the indemnification of all such insurance premiums and expenses shall be payable in priority to payments to the Bondholders and all other Secured Creditors and otherwise in accordance with this Deed.

9.6		The Trustee may at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default apply to a court of competent jurisdiction (the “Court”) for an order that the powers and trusts of this Deed be exercised or carried into execution under the direction of the Court and for the appointment of a Receiver of the Charged Property or any part thereof and for any other order in relation to the execution and administration of the powers and trusts hereof as the Trustee shall deem expedient, and it may assent to or approve any application to the Court made at the instance of any of the Bondholders.

9.7		If, after the service of a Bond Enforcement Notice, the amount of the moneys at any time available for payment of principal and interest in respect of any class of Bonds under Clause 7.2 shall be less than one-tenth of the Principal Amount Outstanding of all the Bonds of the relevant class then outstanding, the Trustee may, at its absolute discretion and without incurring any liability therefor, invest such moneys in any investments for the time being authorised by English law for the investment by trustees of trust monies or in any other investments which may be selected by the Trustee or by placing the same on deposit in the name or under the control of the Trustee with such bank or financial institution as the Trustee may think fit. The Trustee may at any time vary or transfer any of such investments for or into other such investments or convert any monies into any other currency as the Trustee at its absolute discretion may determine; and such investments or deposits with the resulting income thereof may be accumulated until the accumulations, together with any other funds for the time being under the control of the Trustee and applicable for the purpose, shall amount to a sum equal to at least one-tenth of the Principal Amount Outstanding of all the Bonds then outstanding and such accumulations and funds shall then be applied in accordance with Clause 7.2.

10.2		Removal and replacement

		Except as otherwise required by statute, the Trustee may by writing or by deed remove a Receiver and appoint another in his place or to act with a Receiver and the Trustee may apply to the court for an order removing an administrative receiver.

10.3		Extent of appointment

10.4		Agent of the Issuer

		The Receiver shall be the agent of the Issuer and the Issuer alone shall be responsible for the Receiver’s contracts, engagements, acts, omissions, misconduct, negligence or default and for liabilities incurred by him and in no circumstances whatsoever shall the Trustee be in any way responsible for or incur any liability in connection with his contracts, engagements, acts, omissions, misconduct, negligence or default, and if a liquidator of the Issuer shall be appointed, the Receiver shall act as principal and not as agent for the Trustee.

10.5		Remuneration

		The remuneration of the Receiver shall be fixed by the Trustee and may be or include a commission calculated by reference to the gross amount of all moneys received or otherwise and may include remuneration in connection with claims, actions or proceedings made or brought against the Receiver by the Issuer or any other person or the performance or discharge of any obligation imposed upon him by statute or otherwise, but subject to Clause 7.2 (as applicable), such remuneration shall be payable hereunder by the Issuer alone. The amount of such remuneration shall be paid in accordance with the terms and conditions and in the manner agreed from time to time between the Receiver and the Trustee.

	(e)		to bring, defend, submit to arbitration, negotiate, compromise, abandon and settle any claims, disputes and proceedings concerning the Charged Property or any part thereof;

	(j)		to exercise any powers, discretions, voting, conversion or other rights or entitlements in relation to any of the Charged Property or incidental to the ownership of or rights in or to any of the Charged Property and to complete or effect any transaction entered into by the Issuer and complete, disclaim, abandon or modify all or any of the outstanding contracts or arrangements of the Issuer relating to or affecting the Charged Property;

	(l)		to delegate its powers by way of power of attorney or in any other manner to any person any right, power or discretion exercisable by it under this Deed on the terms (including the power to sub-delegate) and subject to any regulations which such Receiver may think fit and such Receiver shall not be liable or responsible in any way to the Issuer or the Trustee for any loss or liability arising from any act, default, omission or misconduct on the part of any such delegate or sub-delegate;

	(m)		generally to carry out, or cause or authorise to be carried out, any transaction, scheme or arrangement whatsoever, whether similar or not to any of the foregoing, in relation to the Charged Property which he may consider expedient as effectually as if he were solely and absolutely entitled to the Charged Property;

(n)	(i)	to do all other acts and things which he may consider desirable or necessary for realising any Charged Property or incidental or conducive to any of the rights, powers or discretions conferred on a Receiver under or by virtue of this Deed; and

	(ii)	to exercise in relation to any Charged Property all the powers, authorities and things which he would be capable of exercising if he were the absolute beneficial owner of the same,

think fit to pay and to apply the residue of the said profits, income or moneys in the manner provided by Clause 7.2.

		The Trustee may pay over to the Receiver any moneys constituting part of the Charged Property to the extent that the same may be applied for the purposes referred to in Clause 7.2 (as applicable) by such Receiver and the Trustee may from time to time determine what funds the Receiver shall be at liberty to keep in hand with a view to the performance of his duties as such Receiver.

11		Protection of Third Parties

11.1		Enquiry

		No person (including a purchaser) dealing with the Trustee or any Receiver or its or his agents will be concerned to enquire:

	(a)		whether any power which the Trustee or a Receiver is purporting to exercise has become exercisable or is being properly exercised;

	(b)		whether the Issuer Obligations remain outstanding or have become payable;

	(c)		whether any money remains due under the Transaction Documents; or

	(d)		how any money paid to the Trustee or to that Receiver is to be applied, and

		the protections afforded to purchasers from a mortgagee by sections 104 to 107 of the 1925 Act and to persons dealing with an administrative receiver by section 42(3) of the Insolvency Xxx 0000 will apply.

11.2		Receipts

		The receipt of the Trustee or the Receiver shall be an absolute and a conclusive discharge to a purchaser and shall relieve him of any obligation to see to the application of any moneys paid to or by the direction of the Trustee or the Receiver.

12		Protection of Trustee and Receiver

12.1		Liability

		The Receiver of the Issuer shall not be liable to the Issuer in the absence of wilful default, fraud or gross negligence or breach of trust on its part or that of its officers, employees or agents in respect of any loss or damage which arises out of the exercise or the attempted or purported exercise of or failure to exercise any of their respective powers.

12.2		Possession

		Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 12.3, entry into possession of the Charged Property shall not render the Trustee or the Receiver of that company liable to account as mortgagee in possession. If and whenever the Trustee or the Receiver enters into possession of the Charged Property, it shall be entitled at any time to go out of such possession.

12.3		Mortgagee in possession

		Neither the Trustee nor the Secured Creditors shall, by reason of any assignment or other security made under or pursuant to this Deed, be or be deemed to be a mortgagee or in possession nor shall they take any action (other than, in the case of the Secured Creditors,

		with the Trustee’s prior written consent) which would be likely to lead to the Secured Creditors or the Trustee becoming a mortgagee in possession in respect of any property referred to in this Deed. The Trustee, in its absolute discretion, may at any time, serve a written notice on the Secured Creditors requiring the Secured Creditors from the date such notice is served to obtain the Trustee’s prior written consent before taking any action which would be likely to lead to the Secured Creditors or the Trustee becoming a mortgagee in possession in respect of any property referred to in this Deed.

12.4		Additional protection

	12.4.1		The Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever to any Secured Creditor as regards any deficiency or additional payment, as the case may be, which might arise because the Trustee is subject to any Tax in respect of the Charged Property or any part thereof or any income therefrom or any proceeds thereof.

	12.4.2		The Trustee shall not be bound to give notice to any person of the execution of the this Deed nor shall it be liable for any failure, omission or defect in perfecting the Security intended to be constituted by this Deed including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing:

	(a)		failure to obtain any licence, consent or other authority for the execution of the same;

	(b)		failure to register the same in accordance with the provisions of any of the documents of title of the Issuer to any of the Charged Property; and

12.4.3

The Trustee shall not be responsible for the genuineness, validity, adequateness or effectiveness of this Deed or any other documents entered into in connection therewith or any other document or any obligations or rights created or purported to be created thereby or pursuant thereto or any Security or the priority thereof constituted or purported to be constituted by or pursuant to this Deed or any of the other Transaction Documents, nor shall it be responsible or liable to any person because of any invalidity of any provision of such documents or the unenforceability thereof, whether arising from statute, law or decisions of any court and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall not have any responsibility for or have any duty to make any investigation in respect of or in any way be liable whatsoever for:

	(a)		the nature, status, creditworthiness or solvency of the Issuer;

	(b)		the execution, legality, validity, adequacy, admissibility in evidence or enforceability of this Deed or any other documents comprised within the Charged Property or any other document entered into in connection therewith;

	(d)		the scope or accuracy of any representations, warranties or statements made by or on behalf of the Issuer or any other person or entity who has at any time provided in this Deed or any documents comprised within the Charged Property or in any document entered into in connection therewith;

	(f)		the existence, accuracy or sufficiency of any legal or other opinions, searches, reports, certificates, valuations or investigations delivered or obtained or required to be delivered or obtained at any time in connection with the Charged Property;

	(g)		the title of the Issuer to any of the Charged Property;

	(h)		the failure to call for delivery of documents of title to or require any transfers, mortgages, charges or other further assurances in relation to any of the assets the subject matter of this Deed or any other documents entered into in connection therewith; or

		All sums of whatsoever nature (including, without limitation, remuneration and other fees) which are payable by the Issuer under this Deed and which are now or at any time hereafter become subject to VAT or similar Tax shall be deemed to be exclusive of VAT or similar Tax and the Issuer in addition to such sums will indemnify the Trustee and/or the Receiver from and against all claims and liabilities whatsoever in respect thereof.

		If the Trustee or any Receiver shall make any payment for a taxable or deemed taxable supply to it pursuant to or in connection with this Deed and any such payment shall bear VAT which is irrecoverable VAT the Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee or such Receiver (as the case may be) on demand for an amount equal to such irrecoverable VAT so far as it has not been taken into account in computing the amount of any payment made by the Issuer to the Trustee or such Receiver under any other indemnity contained in this Deed.

13.4		Stamp duties

		The Issuer shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay all stamp duties and other duties or similar Taxes including any interest and penalties arising in connection with such payment (if any) on or arising out of or in consequence of:

have served a demand for payment of the Issuer Obligations) upon demand to execute, at the Issuer’s own cost, any document or do any act or thing (other than any amendment hereto) which:

	(a)		the Trustee may specify with a view to registering or perfecting any charge or other security created or intended to be created by or pursuant to this Deed (including the perfecting of the conversion of any floating charge to a fixed charge pursuant to Clause 15.1 or 15.2), the Issuer Pledge Agreement, Parent Pledge Agreement; or

	(b)		the Trustee or the Receiver may specify with a view to facilitating the exercise or the proposed exercise of any of their powers or the realisation of any of the Charged Property; or

	(a)		whilst a Potential Event of Default is subsisting; or

	(b)		the Trustee believes that the Charged Property or any part thereof is in danger of being seized or sold under any form of distress, diligence or execution levied or threatened or is otherwise in jeopardy or imperilled; or

	(c)		if any circumstance shall occur which in the opinion of the Trustee prejudices, imperils or threatens or is likely to do any of the foregoing in respect of the security created by this Deed, the Issuer Pledge Agreement or the Parent Pledge Agreement,

		by notice in writing to the Issuer, declare that the floating charge hereby created shall be converted into a first specific fixed charge as to all of the undertaking, property and assets or such of them as may be specified in the notice, and by way of further assurance, the Issuer, at its own expense, shall execute all documents in such form as the Trustee shall require and shall deliver to the Trustee all conveyances, deeds, certificates and documents which may be necessary for perfecting the aforesaid floating charge.

15.2		Automatic crystallisation

		In addition to and without prejudice to any other event resulting in a crystallisation of the floating charge, the floating charge contained herein shall automatically be converted into a fixed charge over all property, assets or undertaking of the Issuer subject to the floating charge, if and when an Event of Default occurs.

16		Issuer Power of Attorney

16.1		Execution of Issuer Power of Attorney

		Immediately upon execution of this Deed, the Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a power of attorney in or substantially in the form set out in Schedule 1 (the “Issuer Power of Attorney”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee confirms that it may only exercise the powers conferred under the Issuer Power of Attorney in the circumstances set out in paragraph 1 of the Issuer Power of Attorney.

16.2		Charged Property on trust

		To the extent permitted to do so under the Transaction Documents, for the purpose of giving effect to this Deed, the Issuer hereby declares that, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, it will hold all of the Charged Property (subject to the right of redemption) on trust to convey, assign or otherwise deal with such Charged Property in such manner and to such person as the Trustee shall direct, and declares that it shall be lawful for the Trustee to appoint a new trustee or trustees of the Charged Property in place of the Issuer.

17		Other Security

17.1		No merger

		The charges contained in or created pursuant to this Deed are in addition to, and shall neither be merged in, nor in any way exclude or prejudice any other Security Interest, right of recourse, set-off or other right whatsoever which the Trustee or any Secured Creditor may now or at any time hereafter hold or have (or would apart from this Deed or any charge contained or created pursuant to this Deed hold or have) as regards the Issuer or any other person in respect of the Issuer Obligations, and neither the Trustee nor any Secured Creditor shall be under any obligation to take any steps to call in or to enforce any security for the Issuer Obligations, and shall not be liable to the Issuer for any loss arising from any omission on the part of the Trustee or any Secured Creditor to take any such steps or for the manner in which the Trustee or any Secured Creditor shall enforce or refrain from enforcing any such security.

17.2		Consolidation

		Section 93 of the 1925 Act shall not apply in relation to any of the charges contained in this Deed.

17.3		Ruling off

		If the Trustee receives notice of any Security Interest affecting the Charged Property in contravention of the provisions of this Deed:

	(b)		all payments made by the Issuer to the Trustee after the Trustee receives such notice shall be credited or deemed to have been credited to the new account, and in no circumstances whatsoever shall operate to reduce the Issuer Obligations as at the time the Trustee receives such notice.

17.4

Change of name, etc.

		This Deed shall remain valid and enforceable notwithstanding any change in the name, composition or constitution of the Trustee or the Issuer or any merger, amalgamation or consolidation by the Trustee or the Issuer with any other corporation.

18		Avoidance of Payments

18.1		No release

		No assurance, security or payment which may be avoided or adjusted under the law, including under any enactment relating to bankruptcy or insolvency and no release, settlement or discharge given or made by the Trustee or any Secured Creditor on the faith of any such assurance, security or payment, shall prejudice or affect the right of the Trustee or any Secured Creditor to recover the Issuer Obligations from the Issuer or to enforce the security contained in, or granted pursuant to, this Deed to the full extent of the Issuer Obligations.

18.2		Retention of security

		If the Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the Issuer may be unable to pay its debts as they fall due as at the date of any payment made by the Issuer to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be at liberty to retain the Security until the expiry of a period of one month plus such statutory period within which any assurance, security, guarantee or payment can be avoided or invalidated after the payment and discharge in full of all Issuer Obligations notwithstanding any release, settlement, discharge or arrangement which may be given or made by the Trustee on, or as a consequence of, such payment or discharge of liability provided that, if at any time within such period, a petition shall be presented to a competent court for an order for the winding up or the making of an administration order in respect of the Issuer or the Issuer shall commence to be wound up or to go into administration or any analogous proceedings shall be commenced by or against the Issuer, the Trustee shall be at liberty to continue to retain such security for such further period as the Trustee may determine and such security shall be deemed to continue to have been held as security for the payment and discharge to the Trustee of all Issuer Obligations.

19		Set-off

		The Trustee may at any time following an Event of Default (without notice and notwithstanding any settlement of account or other matter whatsoever) combine or consolidate all or any existing accounts of the Issuer whether in its own name or jointly with others and held by it or any Secured Creditor and may set off or transfer all or any part of any credit balance or any sum standing to the credit of any such account (whether or not the same is due to the Issuer from the Trustee or relevant Secured Creditor and whether or not the credit balance and the account in debit or the Issuer Obligations are expressed in the same currency in which case the Trustee is hereby authorised to effect any necessary conversions at its prevailing rates of exchange) in or towards satisfaction of any of the Issuer Obligations and may in its absolute discretion estimate the amount of any liability of the Issuer which is contingent or unascertained and thereafter set off such estimated amount and no amount shall be payable by the Trustee to the Issuer unless and until all Issuer Obligations have been ascertained and fully repaid or discharged.

20		Execution of Documents

21.3		Subject to the provisions of this Deed, the Trustee may at any time, at its discretion and without notice, take such proceedings and/or other action as it may think fit against, or in relation to, the Issuer or any other party to any of the Transaction Documents to enforce its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents. Subject to the provisions of this Deed, the Issuer Pledge Agreement or the Parent Pledge Agreement (as the case may be), at any time after the Security has become enforceable, the Trustee may, at its discretion and without notice, take such steps as it may think fit to enforce such Security.

21.4		The Trustee shall not be bound to take any steps or institute any proceedings or to take any other action under or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, enforcing the Security) unless the Trustee:
