(ix) generally to carry out, or cause or authorise to be carried out, any transaction, scheme or arrangement whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, in relation to the Charged Property which it may consider expedient as effectually as if it were solely and absolutely entitled to the Charged Property; (x) in connection with the exercise of any of its powers, to execute or do, or cause or authorise to be executed or done, on behalf of or in the name of the Issuer or otherwise, as it may think fit, all documents, acts or things which it may consider appropriate and to exercise in relation to the Charged Property all such powers as it would be capable of exercising if it were the absolute sole, legal and beneficial owner of the same and to use the name of the Issuer for all or any of the foregoing purposes;

The statutory powers of sale and of appointing a receiver which are conferred upon the Note Trustee as varied and extended by this Deed and all other powers shall in favour of any purchaser be deemed to arise and be exercisable immediately after the execution of this Deed but shall only be exercised upon and following the giving of an Enforcement Notice. 10.5 The Note Trustee may raise and borrow money on the security of the Charged Property or any part thereof for the purpose of defraying any monies, costs, charges, losses and expenses paid or incurred by it in relation to this Deed (including the costs of realisation of any or all of the Charged Property and the remuneration of the Note Trustee). The Note Trustee may raise and borrow such money at such rate of interest and generally on such terms and conditions as it shall think fit and may secure the repayment of the money so raised or borrowed with interest on the same by mortgaging or otherwise charging the Charged Property or any part thereof and either in priority to the security constituted by this Deed or otherwise and generally in such manner and form as the Note Trustee shall think fit and for such purposes may execute and do all such assurances and things as it shall think fit. 10.6 The powers conferred by this Deed in relation to the security constituted thereby or any part thereof on the Note Trustee or on any Receiver of the Charged Property or any part thereof shall be in addition to and not in substitution for the powers conferred on -9- mortgagees or receivers under the LPA and the Insolvency Act 1986 and where there is any ambiguity or conflict between the powers contained in either of such Acts and those conferred by this Deed, the terms of this Deed shall prevail. 11. RECEIVER 11.1 At any time after the service of an Enforcement Notice (and so that no delay or waiver of the right to exercise the powers hereby conferred shall prejudice the future exercise of such powers) the Note Trustee may, subject to Clause 11.2, appoint such person or persons (including an officer or officers of the Note Trustee) as it thinks fit (subject always to any requirement under the Insolvency Act 1986 that the person appointed be a licensed insolvency practitioner) to be Receiver or Receivers of the Charged Property to act jointly or jointly and severally as the Note Trustee shall determine. 11.2 The Note Trustee may (subject to Section 45 of the Insolvency Act 1986) remove the Receiver whether or not appointing another in his place and the Note Trustee may also appoint another receiver if the Receiver resigns. 11.3 The exclusion of any part of the Charged Property from the appointment of the Receiver shall not preclude the Note Trustee from subsequently extending his appointment (or that of the Receiver replacing him) to that part. 11.4 Any Receiver appointed shall, so far as the law permits, be the agent of the Issuer and (subject to applicable law) the Issuer shall be solely responsible for the Receiver's acts and defaults and liable on any contracts or engagements made or entered into by the Receiver; and in no circumstances whatsoever shall the Note Trustee, the Noteholders, the Swap Counterparty or the Expenses Loan Provider be in any way responsible for any misconduct, negligence or default of the Receiver. The Receiver shall have no power to take any action in relation to the Charged Property which the Note Trustee is prohibited from taking by virtue of the terms of this Deed. 11.5 The remuneration of the Receiver may be fixed by the Note Trustee (and may be or include a commission calculated by reference to the gross amount of all money received or otherwise), but such remuneration shall be payable by the Issuer alone and the amount of such remuneration shall form part of the Secured Amounts and accordingly be secured on the Charged Property under the charges and securities contained in this Deed. 11.6 The Receiver shall have, mutatis mutandis, the powers, authorities and discretions conferred upon the Note Trustee under this Deed, subject to such restrictions as the Note Trustee may think fit. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any Receiver appointed to the whole or substantially the whole of the Charged Property shall have the powers referred to in Schedule 1 of the Insolvency Act 1986. 11.7 The Receiver shall in the exercise of his powers, authorities and discretions conform to the regulations and directions from time to time made and given by the Note Trustee. 11.8 The Note Trustee may from time to time and at any time require any such Receiver to give security for the due performance of his duties as such Receiver and may fix the nature and amount of the security to be so given but the Note Trustee shall not be bound in any case to require any such security. -10- 11.9 Save so far as otherwise directed by the Note Trustee and as otherwise required by law all monies from time to time received by such Receiver shall be paid over to the Note Trustee to be applied by it in the manner set out in Clause 6. 11.10 The Note Trustee may pay over to such Receiver any monies constituting part of the Charged Property to the intent that the same may be applied for the purposes of this Deed by such Receiver and the Note Trustee may from time to time determine what funds the Receiver shall be at liberty to keep in hand with a view to the performance of his duties as such Receiver. 11.11 Sections 109(6) and (8) of the LPA (relating to application of monies received by receiver) shall not apply in relation to a Receiver appointed under the foregoing provisions of this Clause 11. 11.12 None of the restrictions imposed by the LPA in relation to appointment of receivers or as to the giving of notice or otherwise shall apply. 12. PROTECTION OF THIRD PARTIES 12.1 No purchaser from, or other person dealing with, the Note Trustee and/or any Receiver shall be concerned to enquire whether any of the powers which they have exercised or purported to exercise has arisen or become exercisable, or whether the Secured Amounts remain outstanding or whether any event has occurred to authorise the Receiver to act or as to the propriety or validity of the exercise or purported exercise of any such powers and the title of such a purchaser and the position of such a person shall not be impeachable by reference to any of those matters. 12.2 The receipt of the Note Trustee or the Receiver shall be an absolute and a conclusive discharge to a purchaser or other such person as is referred to in Clause 12.1 and shall relieve such purchaser or other person of any obligation to see to the application of any monies paid to or by the direction of the Note Trustee or the Receiver. 12.3 In Clauses 12.1 and 12.2 "purchaser" means any person acquiring in good faith, for money or money's worth, any Security Interest over, or any other interest or right whatsoever in relation to, the Charged Property. 13.
