(b) | the release of any other UK Loan Party or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any UK Loan Party; |
(c) | the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any UK Loan Party or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security; |
(d) | any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of a UK Loan Party or any other person; |

(a) | business acquisitions of any nature; |
(b) | increasing working capital; |
(c) | enabling investor distributions to be made; |
(d) | carrying out restructurings; |
(e) | refinancing existing facilities; |
(f) | refinancing any other indebtedness; |
(g) | making facilities available to new borrowers; |

(i) | any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing. |
17.6 | Immediate recourse |
Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under this Clause 17 (Guarantee and Indemnity). This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Loan Document to the contrary.
17.7 | Appropriations |

(a) | refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and no Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and |
20 |
(b) | hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor's liability under this Clause 17 (Guarantee and Indemnity). |

(d) | to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any UK Loan Party to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which any Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 17 (Guarantee and Indemnity) of this Deed; |

(b) | Each Chargor (other than the Company) by its execution of this Deed or any Deed of Accession, irrevocably appoints the Company to execute on its behalf any Deed of Accession without further reference to or the consent of such Chargor and such Chargor shall be bound by any such Deed of Accession as if it had itself executed such Deed of Accession. |
