7.4   Neither the Chargees nor their agents, managers, officers, employees, delegates or advisers shall be liable for any claim, demand, liability, loss, damage, cost or expense incurred or arising in connection with the exercise or purported exercise of any rights, powers and discretions hereunder in the absence of fraud or dishonesty.

8   FURTHER ASSURANCES
 
8.1   The Chargor shall execute and do all such assurances, acts and things as the Chargees in their absolute discretion may require for:
  8.1.1   creating, perfecting, protecting or ensuring the priority of the Security Interest hereby created (or intended to be created);
 
  8.1.2   preserving or protecting any of the rights of the Chargees under this Charge;
 
  8.1.3   ensuring that the security constituted by this Charge and the covenants and obligations of the Chargor under this Charge shall inure to the benefit of any assignee of the Chargees;
 
  8.1.4   facilitating the appropriation or realisation of the Charged Property or any part thereof; or
 
  8.1.5   exercising any power, authority or discretion vested in the Chargees under this Charge,

9   INDEMNITIES
 
9.1   The Chargor will indemnify and save harmless the Chargees and each agent or attorney appointed under or pursuant to this Charge from and against any and all expenses, claims, liabilities, losses, taxes, costs, duties, fees and charges properly and reasonably suffered, incurred or made by the Chargees or such agent or attorney:
  9.1.1   in the exercise or purported exercise of any rights, powers or discretions vested in them pursuant to this Charge;
 
  9.1.2   in the preservation or enforcement of the Chargees’ rights under this Charge or the priority thereof;

  10.1.1   to execute and complete in favour of the Chargees or its nominees or of any purchaser any documents which the Chargees may from time to time require for perfecting their title to or for vesting any of the assets and property hereby charged or assigned to the Chargees or their nominees or in any purchaser and to give effectual discharges for payments;

10.2   The power hereby conferred shall be a general power of attorney and the Chargor hereby ratifies and confirms and agrees to ratify and confirm any instrument, act or thing which any such attorney may execute or do. In relation to the power referred to herein, the exercise by any of the Chargees of such power shall be conclusive evidence of its right to exercise the same.
 
11   EXPENSES
 
11.1   The Chargor shall pay to the Chargees on demand all costs, fees and expenses (including but not limited to legal fees and expenses) and taxes thereon incurred by the Chargees or for which the Chargees may become liable in connection with:
