5. ENFORCEMENT

5.2 Enforceability of Security

(a)

For the purposes of all powers implied by the LPA or any other applicable statute, the Secured Liabilities shall be deemed to have become due and payable upon the date of this Deed.

(b)

Save as provided in Clause 5.3 (Effect of Moratorium) below, the Security shall become immediately enforceable upon:

(i)

the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing; or

(ii)

a petition being presented or application made for the appointment of an administrator in respect of the Chargor; or

(iii)

notice being given by a person entitled to do so of the intention to appoint an administrator or such notice being filed with the court,

and the power of sale conferred by section 101 of the LPA and all other powers conferred on mortgagees and Receivers by law (as varied and extended by this Deed) shall be exercisable in relation to the Security and the Chargee may take possession, hold or dispose of any Charged Asset at any time after the Security has become enforceable.

5.3 Effect of Moratorium

The Security will not become enforceable solely as a result of any person obtaining or taking steps to obtain a moratorium under Schedule A1 of the Insolvency Act 1986.

5.4 Contingencies

If the Security is enforced at a time when no amount is due under the Loan Agreement but at a time when amounts may or will become due, the Chargee (or the Receiver) may pay the proceeds of any recoveries effected by it into a suspense account.

5.5 Right of Appropriation: Financial Collateral

To the extent that any of the Charged Assets constitute "financial collateral" and this Deed and the obligations of the Chargor hereunder constitute a "security financial collateral arrangement" (in each case as defined in, and for the purposes of, the Financial Collateral Arrangements (No. 2) Regulations 2003 (SI 2003 No. 3226; the "Regulations")), the Chargee shall have the right following enforcement of this Deed to appropriate all or any part of such financial collateral in or towards discharge of the Secured Liabilities. For this purpose, the parties agree that the value of such financial collateral so appropriated shall be, in the case of Investments, the market price of such Investments determined by the Chargee by reference to a public index or by such other process as the Chargee may select, including independent valuation. In each case, the parties agree that the method of valuation provided for in the Deed shall constitute a commercially reasonable method of valuation for the purposes of the Regulations.

8.5 Custody

The Chargee shall be entitled to keep all certificates and documents of title relating to the Charged Assets in safe custody at any of its branches or otherwise provide for their safe custody by third parties and shall not be responsible for any loss or damage occurring to or in respect thereof unless such loss or damage shall be caused by its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

to do all acts and things which the Chargor is obliged to do under this Deed but has failed to do, including, without limitation, to fill in the name of the transferee and to date and complete any instrument of transfer in respect of any Charged Assets which has been executed in blank by the Chargor and, in the case of registered Charged Assets, to procure the registration of the transferee as the holder of the relevant Charged Assets in circumstances in which the Charged Assets are to be transferred under the terms of this Deed;

(b)

to transfer any interest in any Charged Assets in the circumstances in which such transfer may be required under this Deed, including on an enforcement of the Security over such Charged Assets;

12. PROTECTION OF THIRD PARTIES

12.1 No Duty to Enquire

No person dealing with the Chargee, any Receiver or any Delegate shall be concerned to enquire:

(b)

whether the Secured Liabilities have become payable or any amount remains outstanding under the Loan Agreement;

as to the application of any money borrowed or raised or paid to the Chargee or any Receiver or Delegate; or

(d)

as to the propriety or regularity of such dealings.

12.2 Receipt

12.3 Statutory Protection

All the protection to purchasers contained in sections 104 and 107 of the LPA, section 42(3) of the Insolvency Act 1986 or in any other applicable legislation shall apply to any person purchasing from or dealing with the Chargee, any Receiver or any Delegate.

15. EFFECTIVENESS OF SECURITY

15.2 Cumulative Rights

The rights and remedies provided in this Deed are cumulative and in addition to and independent of and not in any way prejudiced by any rights or remedies provided by law or any other Security, guarantees or rights of set-off or combination thereof held by the Chargee.

15.3 Failure to Exercise Rights

No failure by the Chargee to exercise or delay in the exercise of any right or remedy under this Deed will operate as a waiver thereof nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

15.4 Immediate Recourse

This Deed and the Chargor’s obligations under this Deed are in addition to, and not to be prejudiced by or to be merged with, any other guarantee, indemnity or Security at any time existing in favour of any person. The Chargor waives any right it may have to require the Chargee (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to make demand of, proceed against or enforce any other rights or Security or claim payment from any person before claiming against it. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of any Loan Document to the contrary.

15.5 Grant of Waivers

A waiver given or consent granted by the Chargee under this Deed will be effective only if given in writing and then only in the instance and for the purpose for which it is given.

15.6 Waiver of Defences

Neither the Charges nor the obligations of the Chargor under this Deed shall be discharged or affected by (and the Chargor hereby irrevocably waives any defences it may now or hereafter acquire in any way relating to) any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 15, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Deed (without limitation and whether or not known to the Chargor or the Chargee) including:

(a)

any time, waiver or consent given to, or any composition with, any person;

(b)

the release of the Chargor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of the Chargor or any other person (other than any express release of the Charges given in accordance with this Deed);

The Chargee shall notify the Chargor of any action taken pursuant to this Clause 16.1 promptly after such action is taken.
