SECTION 17
CURRENCY INDEMNITY
If, under any applicable law or regulation, and whether pursuant to a judgment being made or registered against the Chargor or for any other reason (including any Insolvency Event in relation to the Chargor), any payment under or in connection with this Charge is made or falls to be satisfied in a currency (the “Payment Currency”) other than the currency in which such payment is due under or in connection with this Charge (the “Contractual Currency”), to the extent that the amount of such payment actually received by the Security Agent when converted into the Contractual Currency at the rate of exchange, falls short of the amount due under or in connection with this Charge, the Chargor, as a separate and independent obligation, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Security Agent against the amount of such shortfall. For the purposes of this section, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Security Agent is able on or about the date of such payment to purchase the Contractual Currency with the Payment Currency and shall take into account any premium and other costs of exchange with respect thereto.

19.2 | If all of the Secured Obligations have been unconditionally and irrevocably paid and discharged in full, and no Secured Party is under any further obligation to provide financial accommodation to the Chargor under the terms of any Transaction Document, the Security Agent shall, at the request and cost of the Chargor, execute such documents and do all such reasonable acts as may be necessary to release, reassign or discharge (as appropriate) the Charged Assets from this Charge, in each case subject to Section 6.2 (Continuing Security) and Section 19.1 above and without recourse to, or any representation or warranty by, the Security Agent or any its nominees. |
19.3 | If all or part of the Additional Charged Shares shall be released pursuant to Clause 8.3 of the Purchase Agreement, the Security Agent shall, at the request and cost of the Chargor, release, reassign or discharge (as appropriate) such Additional Charged Shares pursuant to Clause 8.3 of the Purchase Agreement, and the Derivate Assets in relation to such Additional Charged Shares (but in any event not the security constituted by this Charge over the Initial Charged Shares or any other part of the Charged Assets), in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Clause 8.3 of the Purchase Agreement, and return to the Chargor all documents delivered to the Security Agent pursuant to Clause 3.3 (Subsequent Charged Assets) with respect to such Additional Charged Shares being released pursuant to Clause 8.3 of the Purchase Agreement (to the extent not otherwise previously sold, assigned or otherwise disposed of or applied and (in the case of any such document delivered pursuant to Section 3.3) not put into effect in accordance with this Charge), in each case subject to Section 6.2 (Continuing Security) and Section 19.1 above and without recourse to, or any representation or warranty by, the Security Agent or any its nominees. |
