  (c)

third, the balance (if any) in payment or distribution to the Chargor.

 

11.2

No Restriction

Clause 11.1 (Application of Proceeds) does not in any way limit the rights of the Lender under Clause 15.4 (Appropriations) and shall override any appropriation made by the Chargor.

 

11.3

Suspense Account

The Lender may (in its discretion) place all or any part of the amounts paid to the Lender under this Deed or received or recovered by the Lender or any Delegate in exercise of their rights under this Deed in one or more suspense accounts for so long as the Lender shall think fit, pending the application of those amounts towards payment and discharge of the Secured Obligations, with the view to preserving the rights of the Lender to prove for the whole of its claims under the Finance Documents.

 

11.4

Prospective Liabilities

At any time after the Charge has become enforceable, the Lender may (in its discretion) hold any amount of the sums from time to time received or recovered by the Lender (or any Delegate) pursuant to the terms of this Deed in one or more suspense or impersonal accounts in the name of the Lender with such financial institution (including itself) and for so long as the Lender shall think fit, by way of reserve or otherwise, for later application in accordance with this Deed and the Facility Agreement in respect of:

the Lender receives notice (whether actual or constructive) of:

 

  (i)

any subsequent Security or other interest affecting the Charged Property;

 

  (ii)

any assignment, transfer or other disposal of the Charged Property which is prohibited by the terms of this Deed or any other Finance Document; or

 

  (iii)

any other matter which may cause the Charge to cease to be a continuing Security; or

 

  (b)

the passing of a resolution, the presentation of a petition or application or the filing of any other document with a court or the making of an order in relation to any insolvency, bankruptcy or Restructuring Event of the Chargor,

the Lender may open a new account in the name of the Chargor with the Lender (whether or not it permits any existing account to continue). If the Lender does not open such a new account, it shall nevertheless be treated as if it had done so at the time such event occurs and, as from that time, all payments made by or on behalf of the Chargor to the Lender shall be treated as having been credited to a new account of the Chargor and not as having been applied in reduction or discharge of the Secured Obligations.

 

12.

PROTECTION OF THIRD PARTIES

 

12.1

No Duty to Enquire

Upon any sale or disposal of the Charged Property or any part thereof which the Lender or any Delegate shall make or purport to make under the provisions of this Deed, a statement in writing from the Lender or such Delegate that the Charge has become enforceable and that the power of sale has become exercisable shall be conclusive evidence of the fact in favour of any purchaser or other person to whom the Charged Property may be transferred and such purchaser or other person will take the same free of any rights of the Chargor. The Chargor undertakes to indemnify the Lender and each Delegate against any claim which may be made against the Lender or such Delegate (as the case may be) by such purchaser or any other person by reason of any defect in its title to the Charged Property.

 

12.3

Good Discharge

The receipt of the Lender or any Delegate shall be an absolute and conclusive discharge to any purchaser of the Charged Property and shall relieve such purchaser of any obligation to see to the application of any monies paid to or by the direction of the Lender or such Delegate (as the case may be) or to enquire whether the Secured Obligations have become due or payable and, in making any sale or disposal of the Charged Property, the Lender and each Delegate may do so for such consideration, in such manner and on such terms as it thinks fit.

26

19.4

Demands

Any demand for payment made by the Lender shall be effective as a demand for the purposes of the Finance Documents, from the date on which it is given, even if it contains no statement of the relevant Secured Obligations or an inaccurate or incomplete statement of them.

 

20.

MISCELLANEOUS

 

20.1

Determinations

Any certification or determination by the Lender (or any Delegate) of a rate or amount or other matter under any Finance Document is conclusive evidence of the matters to which it relates.

 

20.2

Set-Off

 

  (a)

The Lender may set off any matured obligation due from the Chargor to the Lender under the Finance Documents against any matured obligation owed by the Lender to the Chargor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Lender may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off.

 

  (b)

The Lender shall be entitled, at any time and without prior notice to the Chargor, to combine or consolidate all or any of the accounts of the Chargor with the Lender (whether current, deposit or of any other nature whatsoever, whether in US Dollars or any other currency, whether held alone or jointly with any other person, and whether situate in Singapore or elsewhere) and set-off or transfer any sum standing to the credit of any one or more of such accounts in or towards satisfaction of all or any amounts, obligations and liabilities owed by the Chargor to the Lender under the Finance Documents to which it is a party (whether actual or contingent, primary or collateral, or several or joint, and regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of such amount, obligation or liability). If the amounts, obligations or liabilities owed by the Chargor to the Lender are contingent, the Lender shall be entitled to set aside such sums to keep the Lender in funds for the purposes of meeting and discharging such amounts, obligations and liabilities of the Chargor (whether contingent or otherwise) in full. If the sums standing to the credit of any such accounts and any such amounts, obligations and/or liabilities are in different currencies, the Lender may convert any of them at the Lender’s spot rate of exchange (or such other rate of exchange as may be utilised by the Lender in its discretion) for the purposes of effecting the combination, set-off or transfer.

 

27


  (c)

The Lender shall be entitled, at any time and without prior notice to the Chargor, to debit all or any of the accounts of the Chargor with the Lender (whether current or of any other nature whatsoever, whether in US Dollars or any other currency, whether held alone or jointly with any other person, and whether situate in Singapore or elsewhere) for all or any amounts due and payable by the Chargor to the Lender under the Finance Documents to which it is a party, provided that any such debit shall not constitute or be deemed to be a payment of the outstanding amounts to which it relates (except to the extent of any amount in credit in that account so debited) or a remedy or waiver of any Default.

 

  (d)

The rights of the Lender under this Deed are in addition to, and are without prejudice to, any right of set-off of the Lender under the other Finance Documents or which the Lender may otherwise have against the Chargor. The rights of the Lender under this Clause 20.2 (Set-Off) are in addition to, and are without prejudice to, any banker’s lien, right of set-off or combination of accounts or other right which the Lender may have, or any other right or remedy of the Lender under the Finance Documents (including any rights of the Lender to enforce or realise the Charge) or which the Lender may otherwise have against any Obligor.

 

20.3

Time Deposits

Without prejudice to any right of set-off the Lender may have under this Deed or any other Finance Document or otherwise, if any time deposit matures on the Charged Property the Chargor has with the Lender at a time when:

 

  (a)

the Charge has become enforceable; and

 

  (b)

no amount of the Secured Obligations is due and payable,

that time deposit shall automatically be renewed for any further maturity which the Lender considers appropriate.

 

20.4

Amendments and Waivers

Any amendment or waiver of any term of this Deed shall only be effective if made in writing and signed by or on behalf of the Chargor and the Lender. Any waiver of any term of this Deed may be given subject to such conditions as the Lender may deem fit, and shall only be effective in the instance and for the purpose for which it is given.

 

20.5

Exercise of Rights

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 of any such right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Deed are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

 

20.6

Partial Invalidity

If, at any time, any provision of this Deed is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Deed nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the laws 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 Deed is invalid, unenforceable or ineffective for any reason, that shall not affect or impair any other part of such Security.
