19. Further Assurances.

(a) The Pledgor agrees that with effect from the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Notes which has been notified to the Pledgor, the Pledgor or its appointed Sponsor will, at the expense of the Pledgor, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be required by applicable law or may be necessary or desirable, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Pledgee to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral.

The Pledgee shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or the other documents binding upon the Pledgee. Notwithstanding

9

anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Pledgee shall not in any event be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder if it is prevented from so performing its obligations by any existing or future law or regulation, any existing or future act of Governmental Authority, act of God, flood, war whether declared or undeclared, terrorism, riot, rebellion, civil commotion, strike, lockout, other industrial action, general failure of electricity or other supply, aircraft collision, technical failure, accidental or mechanical or electrical breakdown, computer failure or failure of any money transmission system or any reason which is beyond the control of the Pledgee.

(d) The Pledgee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Pledged Collateral shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Pledgee deals with similar property for its own account.

(e) Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Pledgee shall not be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever including but not limited to loss of profits, whether or not foreseeable, and regardless of whether the claim for such loss or damage is made in negligence, for breach of contract, breach of trust, breach of fiduciary obligation or otherwise. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination or expiry of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Pledgee.

(f) The Pledgee may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through delegates or attorneys and may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be reasonably selected and retained by it. The Pledgee shall not be liable for the acts of such delegates or attorneys, or for anything done, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons.

21. Additional Provisions Relating to the Pledgee.

Any corporation, bank, trust company or association into which the Pledgee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation, bank, trust company or association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Pledgee shall be a party, or any corporation, bank, trust company or association succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Pledgee, shall be the successor of the Pledgee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.
