MISCELLANEOUS

 

12

Duration of the security

 

12.1

Continuing security

The Obligations of the Chargor under the Finance Documents and the security created by the Chargee Security will continue until the Secured Indebtedness have been irrevocably and unconditionally paid or discharged in full, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

 

12.2

Reinstatement

If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of the Chargor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by the Chargee in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of the Chargor under this Deed will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

 

12.3

Avoidance of payments

If the Chargee reasonably determines that there exists a reasonable possibility of the avoidance or invalidation of any payment or repayment of the Secured Indebtedness:

 

  (a)

the Chargee shall be entitled to retain this Deed and not to release any of the Charged Assets from the Chargee Security; and

 

  (b)

if so required by the Chargee (acting reasonably), the Chargor shall promptly provide the Chargee with any evidence (including, if required by the Chargee, a solvency report from the auditors of the Chargor in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Chargee) requested by the Chargee in order that it may determine whether or not at such time there exists such a possibility.

 

12.4

Retention of documents

If the Chargee does determine that there exists such a reasonable possibility it shall be entitled to retain this Deed and not release the Charged Assets for a period of one month plus the relevant statutory period after the Secured Indebtedness of the Chargor shall have been discharged in full. If at any time within such period an Insolvency Event occurs in relation to the Chargor or of any other person that has given or made any relevant assurance, security, guarantee or payment in respect of the discharge of those Secured Indebtedness the Chargee may continue to retain this Deed and not release the Charged Assets for and during such other period as the Chargee in its absolute discretion shall determine.

 

12.5

Final redemption

Subject, and without prejudice, to Clause 12.3 (Avoidance of payments), once the Chargee is satisfied that all the Secured Indebtedness have been discharged in full and that all facilities which might give rise to Secured Indebtedness have terminated, the Chargee shall at the request and cost of the Chargor execute and do all such deeds, acts and things as may be necessary to release or (as appropriate) re-assign the Charged Assets from the Chargee Security within fourteen (14) Business Days upon the request and at the cost of the Chargor. For the avoidance of doubt, the Facility Agreement shall be terminated upon the above release.

 

17


13

Expenses, liability and indemnity

 

13.1

Costs and expenses

The Chargor will, on demand, pay all legal and other costs and expenses (including any stamp duty, registration or other similar taxes) incurred by the Chargee or by any Receiver in connection with the Chargee Security. This includes any costs and expenses relating to the enforcement or preservation of the Chargee Security or the Charged Assets and to any amendment, waiver, consent or release required in connection with the Chargee Security.

 

13.2

No liability or costs

Neither the Chargee nor a Receiver nor any of their Officers will be in any way liable or responsible to the Chargor for any loss or liability of any kind arising from any act or omission by it of any kind (whether as mortgagee in possession or otherwise) in relation to the Charged Assets or the Chargee Security, except to the extent caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

 

13.3

Indemnity to the Chargee

The Chargor will, on demand, indemnify each of the Chargee, a Receiver and their Officers in respect of all costs, expenses, losses or liabilities of any kind which it incurs or suffers in connection with:

 

  (a)

the taking, holding, protection or enforcement of the Chargee Security,

 

  (b)

any matter or thing done or omitted in any way in accordance with the terms of this Deed relating to the Charged Assets;

 

  (c)

the exercise or purported exercise of any of the rights, powers, authorities, discretions and remedies conferred on it under the Chargee Security or by law;

 

  (d)

a claim of any kind (whether relating to the environment or otherwise) made or asserted against it which would not have arisen but for the execution or enforcement of this Deed or if the Chargee Security had not been granted; or

 

  (e)

any breach by any Obligor of the Finance Documents.

 

14

Payments

 

14.1

Payments in full

All payments by the Chargor under the Chargee Security Documents will be made in full, without any set-off or other deduction.

 

14.2

Gross up

If any Tax or other sum must be deducted from any amount payable by the Chargor under the Chargee Security Documents, the Chargor will pay such additional amounts as are necessary to ensure that the recipient receives a net amount equal to the full amount it would have received before such deductions.

 

14.3

Default interest

If the Chargor fails to make a payment under the Chargee Security Documents, it will pay interest to that person on the amount concerned at the Default Rate from the date it should have made the payment until the date of payment (after, as well as before, judgment).

 

18


14.4

Currency indemnity

No payment by the Chargor (whether under a court order or otherwise) will discharge any Obligation of the Chargor unless and until the Chargee has received payment in full in the currency in which the Obligation is denominated. If, on conversion into that currency, the amount of the payment falls short of the amount of the Obligation concerned, the Chargee will have a separate cause of action against the Chargor for the shortfall.

 

14.5

Certificates and determinations

Any certification or determination by the Chargee of an amount payable by the Chargor under this Deed is, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive evidence of that amount.

 

15

Remedies

 

15.1

Rights additional

The Rights created by this Deed are in addition to any other Rights of the Chargee against the Chargor or any other security provider under any other documentation, the general law or otherwise. They will not merge with or limit those other Rights, and are not limited by them.

 

15.2

No waiver

No failure by the Chargee to exercise any Right under this Deed will operate as a waiver of that Right. Nor will a single or partial exercise of a Right by the Chargee preclude its further exercise.

 

15.3

Partial invalidity

If, at any time, any provision of this Deed is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of that provision in any other respect or under the law of any other jurisdiction will be affected or impaired in any way.

 

16

The Chargor, by way of security, irrevocably appoints each of the Chargee and any Receiver severally to be its attorney:

 

  (a)

to do anything which the Chargor is obliged to do under the Chargee Security Documents; and
