7.5 Partial conversion

The giving of a notice by the Lender pursuant to clause 7.1 (Conversion by notice) in relation to any class of assets of the Chargor shall not be construed as a waiver or abandonment of the rights of the Lender to serve similar notices in respect of any other class of assets or of any other right of the Lender.

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Lender, any right or remedy under this Deed shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise, or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

 

30. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS

Any provision of this Deed may be amended only if the Lender and the Chargor so agree in writing and any breach of this Deed may be waived before or after it occurs only if the Lender so agrees in writing. A waiver given or consent granted by the Lender under this Deed will be effective only if given in writing and then only in the instance and for the purpose for which it is given.

 

31. COUNTERPARTS

This Deed may be executed in any number of counterparts, and this has the same effect as if the signatures (and seals, if any) on the counterparts were on a single copy of this Deed.

32. RELEASE

 

32.1 Release

Upon the expiry of the Security Period (but not otherwise) the Lender shall, at the request and cost of the Chargor, take whatever action is necessary to release or re-assign (without recourse or warranty) the Security Assets from the Security.

 

32.2 Reinstatement

Where any discharge (whether in respect of the obligations of the Chargor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made in whole or in part or any arrangement is made on the faith of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored on insolvency, liquidation or otherwise (without limitation), the liability of the Chargor under this Deed shall continue as if the discharge or arrangement had not occurred. The Lender may concede or compromise any claim that any payment, security or other disposition is liable to avoidance or restoration.

 

33. GOVERNING LAW

This Deed and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by English law.

 

34. ENFORCEMENT

 

34.1 Jurisdiction of English courts

 

  (a) The courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Deed (including a dispute relating to the existence, validity or termination of this Deed or any non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with this Deed) (a “Dispute”).

 

  (b) The Parties agree that the courts of England are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes and accordingly no Party will argue to the contrary.

 

  (c) This clause 34.1 (Jurisdiction of English courts) is for the benefit of the Lender only. As a result, the Lender shall not be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, the Lender may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

IN WITNESS of which this Deed has been duly executed by the Chargor as a deed and duly executed by the Lender and has been delivered on the first date specified on page 1 of this Deed by the Chargor.

SCHEDULE 1: THE GUARANTEE

 

1. Continuing guarantee

This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by the Borrower, the Chargor or any other member of the Group under the Loan Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

 

2. Reinstatement

If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of the Borrower, the Chargor or any other member of the Group or any security for those obligations or otherwise) made by the Lender 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.

 

3. Waiver of defences

The obligations of the Chargor under this Deed will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Deed, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Deed (without limitation and whether or not known to it or to the Lender) including:

 

  (a) any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, the Borrower, the Chargor or other person;

 

  (b) the release of the Borrower, the Chargor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the Group;

 

  (c) the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, the Borrower, the Chargor or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

 

  (d) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of the Borrower, the Chargor or any other person;

 

  (e) any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of a Loan Document or any other document or security including, without limitation, any change in the purpose of, any extension or increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Loan Document or other document or security;

 

  (f) any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Loan Document or any other document or security; or

 

  (g) any insolvency, administration or similar proceedings.

 

 

28


 

4. Guarantor Intent

Without prejudice to the generality of clause 3 (Waiver of Defences), the Chargor expressly confirms that it intends that this guarantee shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Loan Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Loan Documents for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: business acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities, refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.

 

5. Immediate recourse

The Chargor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Lender to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from the Chargor under this Deed. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Loan Document to the contrary.

 

6. Appropriations

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Borrower, any other member of the Group and/or the Chargor under or in connection with the Loan Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, the Lender (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

 

  (a) refrain from applying or enforcing any other monies, security or rights held or received by the Lender (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and the Chargor shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

 

  (b) hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any monies received from the Chargor or on account of the Chargor’s liability under this Deed.

 

7. Deferral of Guarantors’ rights

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Borrower, any other member of the Group and/or the Chargor under or in connection with the Loan Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Lender otherwise directs, the Chargor shall not exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Loan Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Deed:

 

  (a) to be indemnified by the Borrower, any other member of the Group or the Chargor;

 

  (b) to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of the Borrower’s, another Group member’s or the Chargor’s obligations under the Loan Documents;

 

  (c) to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Lender under the Loan Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Loan Documents by the Lender;

 

 

29


 

  (d) to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any member of the Group to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which the Chargor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under clause 2.1 (Guarantee and indemnity);

 

  (e) to exercise any right of set-off against any member of the Group; and/or

 

  (f) to claim or prove as a creditor of any member of the Group in competition with the Lender.

If the Chargor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Lender by the any member of the Group under or in connection with the Loan Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Lender and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Lender.

 

8. Additional security

This guarantee is in addition to, and is not in any way prejudiced by, any other guarantee or security at the date of this guarantee or subsequently held by the Lender.
