  2.2.1   provide the Collateral Agent with a report listing all Receivables as at the relevant Report Date; and

4.   CONTINUING SECURITY
 
4.1   The rights of the Collateral Agent and the obligations of the Assignor under this Agreement and the Security constituted by this Agreement are a continuing security and will remain in full force and effect as a continuing security until all of the Obligations have been unconditionally and irrevocably paid or discharged in full. Until then, the obligations of the Assignor under this Agreement and the Security shall not be discharged, impaired or otherwise affected by:
  4.1.1   any winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, judicial management, administration or reorganization of or bankruptcy or any change in any of the Loan Parties or any other company, corporation, partnership or other person;
 
  4.1.2   any of the other Obligations being at any time illegal, invalid, unenforceable or ineffective;
 
  4.1.3   any intermediate satisfaction of the whole or any part of the Obligations (other than by full performance and discharge of the Obligations);
 
  4.1.4   any time or other indulgence being granted to any of the Loan Parties or any other company, corporation, partnership or other person;
 
  4.1.5   any amendment, variation, waiver or release of any of the Obligations (except to the extent that the Loan Parties’ liabilities are discharged by such action);
 
  4.1.6   the extinction of any or all indebtedness by whatsoever reason (other than by full performance and discharge of the Obligations);
 
  4.1.7   any failure to take or failure to realise the value of any other collateral in respect of the Obligations or any release, discharge, exchange or substitution of any such collateral; or
 
  4.1.8   any other act, event or omission which but for this provision would or might operate to impair, discharge or otherwise adversely affect the obligations of the Assignor under this Agreement.

 


 

4.2   Without releasing, discharging, prejudicing or otherwise affecting the Obligations and the obligations of the Assignor under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time without any notice to the Assignor, to perform any, several or all of the following to which the Assignor consents and agrees:
  4.2.1   to grant time or any other indulgence to any Loan Party with regard to its performance of the Obligations, and/or to compromise and/or make any agreement or arrangement with any Loan Party and/or any other person howsoever liable with respect to the Obligations;
 
  4.2.2   to release or discharge any Loan Party and/or any other person who is or may become liable to the Collateral Agent in respect of any Obligations and obligations of the Assignor under this Agreement or any part thereof, and to include releasing or discharging, wholly or partially, and/or varying, renewing or giving up any judgement, Security Interest of whatever kind or other right that the Collateral Agent may now or hereafter hold as Transaction Security; or
 
  4.2.3   to increase, extend or vary any credit or facility granted or to be granted to any person, or any other agreement constituting the Obligations,
    provided that the Collateral Agent shall only exercise such right upon an instruction of the Applicable Representative.
 
5.   FURTHER ASSURANCE AND PROTECTION OF SECURITY
 
5.1   Covenant for further assurance
 
    Subject to the Agreed Security Principles, the Assignor shall from time to time, at its cost and at the request of the Collateral Agent, upon a reasonable instruction of the Applicable Representative promptly do any act or execute any instruments, notices and documents in favour of the Collateral Agent or as it may require such further or other legal or other assignments, transfers, mortgages, charges, pledges or securities as in each case the Collateral Agent shall reasonably stipulate, in such form as the Collateral Agent, upon a reasonable instruction of the Applicable Representative, may require for the purpose of creating, perfecting, maintaining, ensuring, protecting, defending, enforcing or securing the Security (whether in existence at the date hereof or acquired after the date hereof) or for facilitating the exercise or, as the case may be, realisation thereof and the exercise of all other powers, authorities and discretions vested in the Collateral Agent including any act or any document which may reasonably be required under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction in which any Receivables may be located in order to confer on the Collateral Agent such rights or for rendering any assignment of a benefit pursuant to Clause 10 (Successors and Assigns) valid and enforceable by law.
 
    For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged that the Collateral Agent is permitted to act on the instructions of the Applicable Representative in accordance with Clause 2.02(a)(i) of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. It is further acknowledged that the Collateral Agent may assume that any and all instructions received by it from the

 


 

    Applicable Representative under this Clause 5.1 are reasonable, and that any question as to the reasonableness or otherwise of such instructions shall be determined as between the Applicable Representative and the Assignor.
5.2   Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, until a Notice of Assignment is issued to the Debtor and the Assignor, the Assignor shall retain control over the Receivables, and exercise all rights and powers in respect of the Receivables and apply their proceeds in its business as it deems appropriate.
 
5.3   Except as provided in Clause 5.2, without the written consent of the Collateral Agent, the Assignor shall not, or agree to, do any of the following:
  5.3.1   create or permit to subsist any Security Interest over any of the Receivables;
 
  5.3.2   sell or transfer or otherwise dispose of the Receivables; and
 
  5.3.3   knowingly do or permit to be done anything or fail to do anything, that would jeopardise or otherwise directly or indirectly prejudice the validity or enforceability of the Security or that would cause an Event of Default to occur;
    unless otherwise permitted under the Principal Finance Documents.
5.4   The Assignor agrees:
  5.4.1   to comply in all respects with any applicable laws and regulations to which it is subject and any requirements of authorities to which it is subject and to perform the Assignor’s obligations under the Contracts in connection with the Receivables (so as to establish and maintain valid and enforceable payment obligations of the Debtors under the Contracts) if failure to do so would have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Credit Agreement or, if the Credit Agreement is no longer in existence, any Additional Agreement); and
 
  5.4.2   after the Notice of Assignment has been served:
  (a)   not to cancel or terminate the Contract and not to, or purport to, terminate, revoke or extend the maturity date of any Receivable without the prior consent in writing of the Collateral Agent and to refrain from any action which might in any way prejudice or limit the Collateral Agent’s rights under or in respect of any Receivable;
 
  (b)   to promptly inform the Collateral Agent of any material breach of a Contract by the Debtor, as soon as it becomes aware of any such breach and to take all reasonable measures necessary to minimise or prevent any loss which may be incurred by the Collateral Agent in the event of non-performance of the Contract or non payment of an invoice issued under the relevant Contract; and
 
  (c)   to use reasonable endeavours to recover any or all Receivables and assist the Collateral Agent to recover any or all Receivables (including at the request of the Collateral Agent joining in and being a party to any legal or other action that the Collateral Agent has taken or wishes

 


 

      to take against the Debtor with the Collateral Agent being entitled to full control of such action).
6.   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
 
6.1   The Assignor warrants to the Collateral Agent that on the date of this Agreement:
  6.1.1   it is solely entitled to the Receivables and to receive such proceeds and related rights thereof;
 
  6.1.2   its entry into and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Assignor’s assignment of the Receivables to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement do not and will not conflict with (i) the Assignor’s Memorandum and Articles of Association in any material respect or (ii) any agreement binding it or any of its assets or constitute a default or termination event (however described) under any such agreement to an extent that has, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Credit Agreement or, if the Credit Agreement is no longer in existence, any Additional Agreement);
 
  6.1.3   except to the extent set out in the Credit Agreement, to the best of its knowledge and belief, there are no litigation, arbitration or administrative proceedings of, or before, any court, arbitral body or agency started or threatened against it in respect of the Receivables that are reasonably likely to be adversely determined and if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Credit Agreement or, if the Credit Agreement is no longer in existence, any Additional Agreement);
 
  6.1.4   no Receivable is subject to any restrictions or prohibitions under the relevant Contract and each Receivable is freely assignable and constitutes an amount to be due and payable by the Debtor pursuant to the relevant Contract; and
 
  6.1.5   the information or report in relation to any Receivables, Contracts and Debtors provided to the Collateral Agent as required hereunder is true and correct in all material respects.
6.2   Each of the representations set out in Clause 6.1 will be deemed to be repeated by the Assignor as true and correct in all material respects on and as of each date that a Supplemental Conditional Assignment Agreement is executed in respect of any Receivables that are not listed in Schedule 1 or when any other document is executed (as required under Clause 5 (Further Assurance and Protection of Security)) with the same effect as though made on and as of such date.
 
7.   POWER OF ATTORNEY
 
7.1   Appointment and powers
 
    To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Assignor by way of security irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent or receiver or any person delegated by it as an attorney severally to be its attorney and in its name, on its behalf and as its act to

 


 

    execute, deliver and perfect all documents and do all things that the attorney may consider to be required or desirable for:

  (i)   an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing; and/or
 
  (ii)   the Collateral Agent has received notice from the Applicable Representative, the Loan Parties’ Agent and/or the Assignor that the Assignor has failed to comply with a further assurance or perfection obligation within 10 Business Days of being notified of that failure (with a copy of that notice being sent to the Loan Party’s Agent),

8.2   At any time following the service of a Notice of Assignment, the Collateral Agent may:

No action taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent shall give rise to any defence, counterclaim or other right of set-off against the Collateral Agent or affect or impair the Obligations or the Assignor’s obligations under this Agreement.
 
9.   APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
 
    All monies received, recovered or realised by the Collateral Agent under this Agreement (including the proceeds of any conversion of currency) shall be applied in or towards the discharge of the Obligations in accordance with the Intercreditor Arrangements.

  11.1.1   by the Collateral Agent (acting on the instructions of the Applicable Representative) at the request and cost of the Assignor, upon the Obligations being irrevocably paid or discharged in full and none of the Secured Parties being under any further actual or contingent obligation to make advances or provide other financial accommodation to the Assignor or any other person under any of the Loan Documents; or
 
  11.1.2   in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the Intercreditor Arrangements (to the extent it is possible to give effect to such arrangements under Thai law).

13.   EFFECTIVENESS OF SECURITY
 
13.1   Rights Cumulative
 
    The rights of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Security are cumulative and are in addition to, independent of, without prejudice to, and are not and shall not be in substitution for, any other right, security, guarantee or indemnity now held or which may hereafter be held by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Obligations or any rights powers and remedies provided by law. No prior or other security or Security Interest with respect to the Obligations held by the Collateral Agent shall merge in the Security.
 
13.2   Waivers
  13.2.1   No waiver of any of its rights under this Agreement shall be effective unless given in writing by the party waiving those rights (or entitled to give such
