It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that the description of the Charged Assets, including without limitations, the assets listed in Sections 3.1(a)(d) above, shall be amended and updated from time to time by the Company, in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement.

| (iii) | all present and future rights to compensation, indemnity, warranty or guaranty accruing to the Company by reason of the loss of, damage to or expropriation of, or any other event or circumstance with respect to, the Charged Assets. |
With respect to insurance proceeds, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) the Company may commence, appear in, defend or prosecute any claim or action, and may adjust, compromise, settle and collect all claims and awards; provided however, that no settlements shall be made without the consent of Creditor which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (ii) all proceeds of insurance shall be made available to the Company to repair or restore the Charged Assets, as applicable.
Nothing in this Debenture in any way limits the Company from entering into any transactions with regard to its Intellectual Property in the Ordinary Course of Business and making any Permitted Transfers.
| 3.2 | First Ranking |

| 4. | PRESERVATION OF SECURITY |
| 4.1 | Continuing Security |
The Company declares and agrees that:
| (a) | the Security Interests created by this Debenture shall remain in force as continuing security for the payment and discharge of the Secured Liabilities and shall remain in force notwithstanding any settlement of account or any other act, event or matter whatsoever, and, subject to Section 4.4, shall be fully released and discharged upon the full and final payment of the Secured Liabilities and subject to Section 4.4. |

| 4.2 | Nature of Security Interests |

For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby clarified that this Debenture is in addition to the Debenture - Floating Charge (and in no manner in lieu thereof or replacement thereto), and each of this Debenture and the Debenture - Floating Charge shall independently serve as aforesaid to secure the Secured Liabilities in their entirety. Without derogating from the generality of the foregoing or from any other right of the Creditor, the Creditor shall have the right to act on this Debenture, on the Debenture - Floating Charge or on both, in each case in connection with the Security Interest created by each (including, without limitation, with respect to any and all assets, properties and rights subject to both this Debenture and the Debenture - Floating Charge); and no action or omission relating to any such Security Interest shall prevent or estop the Creditor from invoking such other Security Interest, at the same time or subsequently.
5
| 4.3 | Liability of the Company; Security Interest Absolute |
| (a) | The Company is a principal debtor and the Charged Assets are a principal security for the Secured Liabilities and, without prejudice to the foregoing, none of the rights of the Creditor, the Security Interests created hereunder or the liabilities or obligations of the Company or any third party, shall be impaired or discharged by (without limitation): |
| (i) | the Creditor releasing any of the Charged Assets or granting any time or any indulgence whatsoever to or making any settlement, composition or arrangement with any third party; |
| (ii) | the Creditor asserting or pursuing, failing or neglecting to assert or pursue, or delaying in asserting or pursuing, or waiving, any of its rights or remedies against the Company or any third party arising under or by virtue of this Debenture or otherwise; |

| (vii) | the Creditor taking, accepting, varying, dealing with, enforcing, abstaining from enforcing, surrendering, exchanging or releasing any Security Interest in relation to the Company or any third party in such manner as any of them thinks fit, or claiming, proving for, accepting or transferring any payment in respect of the Secured Liabilities or the liabilities of any other third party in any composition by, or winding up of, any such party and/or any third party, or abstaining from so claiming, proving, accepting or transferring; or |
| (viii) | to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any other circumstance that could otherwise constitute a defence to or discharge of the Company or any third party, other than the payment and performance in full of the Secured Liabilities. |

6
| (c) | The exercise by the Creditor of any of the rights or remedies hereunder shall not release the Company from any of its liabilities or obligations under any agreement between the Creditor and the Company; for the avoidance of doubt, the application of the Charged Assets to satisfy part of the Secured Liabilities shall not release the Company from its obligation to pay and perform the Secured Liabilities in full. |
| 4.4 | Avoidance of Payments |
To the extent that the Company and/or subsidiaries of the Company or any third party on behalf of the Company makes a payment or payments to the Creditor, or the Creditor enforces any Security Interest or exercises any right of set-off and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently avoided or set aside, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or required to be repaid or refunded or reduced by virtue of any applicable law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, administration, receivership, liquidation or similar proceedings, the Secured Liabilities or any part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and this Debenture and all Security Interests, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred.
