9.3 Realisation

(b) The Chargee shall not be obliged to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Deed.

All monies received by the Chargee or any Receiver under or in connection with this Deed or the Charged Assets after the Charges have become enforceable shall (subject to the rights and claims of any person having a security ranking in priority to the Security Interest created hereunder) be applied in the following order:
(a) first, in satisfaction of, or provision for, all costs, charges and expenses incurred and payments made by the Chargee or any Receiver and of all remuneration due to the Receiver in connection with this Deed or the Charged Assets;
(b) secondly, in or towards the satisfaction of the remaining Secured Obligations; and
(c) thirdly, in payment of any surplus to the Chargor or other person entitled to it.
The Chargor by way of security irrevocably appoints the Chargee and any Receiver severally as its attorney (with full power of substitution) on its behalf and in its name or otherwise, at such time and in such manner as the attorney thinks fit:
(a) to do anything which the Chargor is obliged to do (but has not done) under this Deed (including to execute charges over, transfers, conveyances, assignments and assurances of, and other deed, instruments, notices, orders and directions relating to, the Charged Assets); and

Subject to Clause 14 (Discharge of Security), the Charges are continuing Security Interests and will extend to the ultimate balance of the Secured Obligations, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.
13.2 Reinstatement
If any payment by the Chargor or any discharge given by the Chargee (whether in respect of the obligations of any person or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is avoided or reduced as a result of insolvency, liquidation or any similar event:
(a) the liability of the Chargor and the Charges shall continue or be reinstated as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred; and
(b) the Chargee shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of that security or payment from the Chargor, as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred.
13.3 Additional Security
The Charges are in addition to and are not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantees or security now or subsequently held by the Chargee.
14.1 Release
(a) After the Secured Obligations have been paid or discharged in full, the Chargee shall at the request and cost of the Chargor promptly release, reassign or discharge (as appropriate) the Charged Assets from the Charges.

All payments by the Chargor under this Deed (including damages for its breach) shall be made in such currency as the Chargee may require and to such account, with such financial institution and in such other manner as the Chargee may direct.
