17.   INDEMNITY
 
17.1   To the extent set out in section 4.11 of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Chargor shall, notwithstanding any release or discharge of all or any part of the security, indemnify the Collateral Agent, its agents, attorneys, any Delegate and any Receiver against any action, proceeding, claims, losses, liabilities, expenses, demands, taxes, and costs which it may sustain as a consequence of any breach by the Chargor of the provisions of this deed, the exercise or purported exercise of any of the rights and powers conferred on them by this deed or otherwise relating to the Secured Property.
 
18.   MISCELLANEOUS
 
18.1   Partial invalidity: If at any time any provision of this deed or any other document relating to the Secured Liabilities is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any relevant jurisdiction, that illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the enforceability of the provisions, or (as the case may be) the remaining provisions, of this deed, nor shall the legality, validity or enforceability of any of those provisions under the law of any other jurisdiction be in any way affected or impaired thereby.
 
18.2   No implied waivers: Time shall be of the essence in respect of performance by the Chargor of the Chargor’s obligations under this deed, but no failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, and no delay on its part in exercising, any right, power or remedy under this deed shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
 
18.3   Obligations independent: Each of the obligations of the Chargor under clauses 10.4 and 17.1 shall constitute a continuing obligation, separate and independent from the Chargor’s other obligations under this deed and shall survive discharge of the Secured Liabilities and release of this deed.
 
18.4   Enforcement: It shall not be necessary for the Collateral Agent to incur any expense or make any payment before enforcing any of its rights in respect of any obligation of the Chargor referred to in clause 18.3.

18.5   No merger or marshalling: The right of each Secured Party to payment or performance of any Secured Liabilities (including under any negotiable instrument or a Loan Document) shall not merge in the Chargor’s liability for those Secured Liabilities under this deed. The Collateral Agent has no duty to marshall in favour of the Chargor or any other person.
 
18.6   Conflict of provisions: This deed is subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Arrangements. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this deed and the Intercreditor Arrangements, the terms of the Intercreditor Arrangements will prevail.
