5.3 | Immediate recourse |
Each Security Provider waives any right it may have of first requiring the Security Agent or any other Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on their behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights, security or other guaranty or claim payment from any person before claiming from such Security Provider under this Agreement and enforcing the Security Agent’s security interest in the Collateral.
10
5.4 | Appropriations |
Until the expiry of the Security Period, but subject at all times to Clause 10, the Security Agent and each other Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on their behalf) may, after this Security has become enforceable pursuant to Clause 8 (When Security becomes enforceable):
(a) | refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security, guaranties (or the proceeds thereof) or rights held or received by the Security Agent or such other Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on their behalf) in respect of the Secured Liabilities (and instead retain it as collateral security); and |

any right of subrogation, contribution or indemnity it may have against any Obligor as a result of any payment under that guaranty or in respect of the Secured Liabilities.

(a) | Each Security Provider understands that the exercise by the Security Agent and the other Finance Parties of certain rights and remedies contained in the Finance Documents may affect or eliminate such Security Provider’s right of subrogation and reimbursement against the Obligors and that such Security Provider may therefore incur a partially or totally non-reimbursable liability under this Agreement. |
(b) | Each Security Provider expressly authorizes the Security Agent and the other Finance Parties to pursue their rights and remedies with respect to the Secured Liabilities in any order or fashion they deem appropriate, in their sole and absolute discretion. |
(c) | Each Security Provider waives any defense arising out of the absence, impairment, or loss of any or all rights of recourse, reimbursement, contribution, or subrogation or any other rights or remedies of such Security Provider against any Obligor, any other person or any security, whether resulting from any election of rights or remedies by the Security Agent or the other Finance Parties, or otherwise. |

(a) | Each Security Provider represents and warrants to the Security Agent and the other Finance Parties that such Security Provider is affiliated with each Obligor or is otherwise in a position to have access to all relevant information bearing on the present and continuing creditworthiness of each Obligor and the risk that any Obligor will be unable to pay the Secured Liabilities when due. |
(b) | Each Security Provider waives any requirement that the Security Agent or the other Finance Parties advise such Security Provider of information known to the Security Agent or any other Finance Party regarding the financial condition or business of any Obligor, or any other circumstance bearing on the risk of non-performance of the Secured Liabilities. |

This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Each Security Provider ratifies and confirms all actions taken by the Security Agent or its agents under this power of attorney. |
