12.2 This Assignment shall remain in full force and effect as a continuing security for the Secured Obligations unless and until the Assignee discharges it.

12.3 No failure on the part of the Assignee to exercise, or delay on its part in exercising, any Collateral Right shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of a Collateral Right prevent any further or other exercise of that or any other Collateral Right.

12.4 If, at any time, any provision of this Assignment is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, the legality, validity or enforceability of (a) the remaining provisions of this Assignment; and (b) such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

13.2 If the Assignee considers that any amount paid or credited to it is capable of being avoided or reduced by virtue of any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar laws, the liability of the Assignor under this Assignment and the security constituted by this Assignment shall continue and such amount shall not be considered to have been irrevocably paid.

13.3 The Assignee may retain this Assignment, the security constituted by or pursuant to this Assignment and all documents relating to or evidencing ownership of all or any part of the Assigned Property for a period of seven months after any discharge in full of the Secured Obligations, provided that if at any time during that seven month period a petition or application is presented for an order for the winding-up of, or the making of an administration order in respect of, the Assignor or any person who is entitled to do so gives written notice of its intention to appoint an administrator of the Assignor or files such a notice with the court or the Assignor commences to be wound-up voluntarily or any analogous proceedings are commenced in respect of it, the Assignee may continue to retain such security and such documents for such further period as the Assignee may determine and the security and such documents shall be deemed to have continued to be held as security for the Secured Obligations.

14. SUBSEQUENT INTERESTS AND ACCOUNTS

If the Assignee at any time receives notice of any subsequent mortgage, assignment, charge or other interest affecting all or any part of the Assigned Property, all payments made by the Assignor to the Assignee after that time shall be treated as having been credited to a new account of the Assignee and not as having been applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations as at the time when the Assignee received notice.

(a) in or towards the discharge of all or any of the Secured Obligations which are then due and payable; or

- 6 -

(b) if any of the Secured Obligations are then contingent, in payment to the credit of any accounts selected by the Assignee to be held until such time as the Assignee shall think fit pending their application in or towards the discharge of all or any of the Secured Obligations which are at that time due and payable; or

(c) in payment to the credit of any suspense or impersonal account for so long as the Assignee shall think fit pending any further application of such moneys (as the Assignee shall be entitled, but not obliged, to do in its discretion) in accordance with the previous provisions of this Clause; and
