9.   RECEIVERS AND ADMINISTRATORS
 
9.1   Appointment and removal
 
    At any time after having been requested to do so by the Chargor or if the security created by this Agreement is enforceable in accordance with Clause 8 (Security Enforcement), the Collateral Agent may by deed or otherwise (acting through an authorised officer of the Collateral Agent), without prior notice to the Chargor:

9.4   Powers of Receivers
 
    Every Receiver shall (subject to any restrictions in the instrument appointing him but notwithstanding any winding-up or dissolution of the Chargor) have and be entitled to exercise, in relation to the Charged Portfolio in respect of which he was appointed, and as varied and extended by the provisions of this Agreement (in the name of or on behalf of the Chargor or in his own name and, in each case, at the cost of the Chargor):
  (a)   all the powers conferred by the Law of Property Act 1925 on mortgagors and on mortgagees in possession and on receivers appointed under that Act;
 
  (b)   all the powers of an administrative receiver set out in Schedule 1 to the Insolvency Act 1986 (whether or not the Receiver is an administrative receiver);
 
  (c)   all the powers and rights of an absolute owner and power to do or omit to do anything which the Chargor itself could do or omit to do;
 
  (d)   the power to delegate (either generally or specifically) the powers, authorities and discretions conferred on it by this Agreement or any of the Principal Finance Documents (including the power of attorney) on such terms and

- 11 -


 

      conditions as it shall see fit which delegation shall not preclude either the subsequent exercise any subsequent delegation or any revocation of such power, authority or discretion by the Receiver itself; and
  (e)   the power to do all things (including bringing or defending proceedings in the name or on behalf of the Chargor) which seem to the Receiver to be incidental or conducive to:
  (i)   any of the functions, powers, authorities or discretions conferred on or vested in him;
 
  (ii)   the exercise of any rights, powers and remedies of the Collateral Agent provided by or pursuant to this Agreement or by law (including realisation of all or any part of the Charged Portfolio); or
 
  (iii)   bringing to his hands any assets of the Chargor forming part of, or which when got in would be, the Charged Portfolio.
9.5   Consideration

9.6   Protection of purchasers
 
    No purchaser or other person dealing with the Collateral Agent or any Receiver shall be bound to inquire whether the right of the Collateral Agent or such Receiver to exercise any of its powers has arisen or become exercisable or be concerned with any propriety or regularity on the part of the Collateral Agent or such Receiver in such dealings.

No prior security held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party over the whole or any part of the Charged Portfolio shall merge into the collateral constituted by this Agreement.

- 12 -


 

10.2   No Waiver
 
    No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent, any right, power or remedy of the Collateral Agent provided by this Agreement or by law shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of that right, power or remedy prevent any further or other exercise of that or any other right, power or remedy of the Collateral Agent provided by this Agreement or by law.
 
10.3   Illegality, Invalidity, Unenforceability
 
    If, at any time, any provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired and if any part of the security intended to be created by or pursuant to this Agreement is invalid, unenforceable or ineffective for any reason, that shall not affect or impair any other part of the security.

    None of the Collateral Agent, its nominee(s) or any receiver or Delegate appointed pursuant to this Agreement shall be liable by reason of (a) taking any action permitted by this Agreement or (b) any neglect or default in connection with the Charged Portfolio or (c) the taking possession or realisation of all or any part of the Charged Portfolio, except to the extent provided in the Principal Finance Documents.
 
10.5   Implied Covenants for Title
  (a)   The covenants set out in Sections 3(1), 3(2) and 6(2) of the Law of Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1994 will not extend to Clause 2.3 (Charge).
 
  (b)   It shall be implied in respect of Clause 2.3 (Charge) that the Chargor is charging the Charged Portfolio free from all charges and encumbrances (whether monetary or not) and from all other rights exercisable by third parties (including liabilities imposed and rights conferred by or under any enactment).
10.6   Continuing Lien
  (a)   The Lien from time to time constituted by this Agreement is a continuing security and will remain in full force and effect as a continuing security until released or discharged by the Collateral Agent.
 
  (b)   No part of the security from time to time constituted by this Agreement will be considered satisfied or discharged by any intermediate payment, discharge or satisfaction of the whole or any part of the Secured Liabilities.
10.7   Immediate recourse
 
    The Chargor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Collateral Agent or a Secured Party to proceed against or enforce any other rights or Lien or claim payment from any person before claiming from the Chargor under this Agreement. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of this Agreement to the contrary.

- 13 -


 

10.8   Avoidance of Payments
 
    Notwithstanding Clause 3.3 (Release) if the Collateral Agent 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 Chargor under this Agreement and the security constituted by this Agreement shall continue and that amount shall not be considered to have been irrevocably paid.
 
10.9   Waiver of defences
 
    The obligations of the Chargor under this Agreement and the Collateral Rights will not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 10.9 (Waiver of defences), would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Agreement and this Lien and whether or not known to the Chargor or the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party including:
