14.4

Waiver of defences

The obligations of each Guarantor under this clause 14 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this clause 14, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this clause 14 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or the Agent) including:

14.4.1

any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor or other person;

14.4.2

Page 35

14.4.3

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, any Obligor 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;

any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.

Page 36

14.6

Immediate recourse

Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Agent (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or Security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under this clause 14. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of any Document to the contrary.

14.7

Appropriations

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Transaction Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, the Agent (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

14.7.1

refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, Security or rights held or received by the Agent (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 no Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

14.7.2

hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor's liability under this clause 14.

14.8

Deferral of Guarantors' rights

14.8.1

to be indemnified by a Chargor;

14.8.2

to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Obligor's obligations under the Documents;

14.8.3

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

to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which any Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under clause 14.1;

14.8.5

to exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor; and/or

14.8.6

to claim or prove as a creditor of any Obligor in competition with the Agent.

If a Guarantor 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 Agent by the Obligors under or in connection with the Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Agent and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Agent in accordance with the Documents.

14.9

Release of Guarantors' right of contribution

If any Guarantor (Retiring Guarantor) shall cease to be a Guarantor, with the prior written consent of the Agent for the purpose of any sale or other disposal of that Retiring Guarantor then on the date such Retiring Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor:

14.9.1

that Retiring Guarantor is released by each other Guarantor from any liability (whether past, present or future and whether actual or contingent) to make a contribution to any other Guarantor arising by reason of the performance by any other Guarantor of its obligations under the Documents; and

14.9.2

each other Guarantor waives any rights it may have by reason of the performance of its obligations under the Documents to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Agent under any Documents or of any other Security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, any Documents where such rights or Security are granted by or in relation to the assets of the Retiring Guarantor.
