4.             CONVERSION OF FLOATING CHARGE

 

4.1                                 Conversion of floating charge

 

Without prejudice to the security constituted or intended to be constituted by this Composite Debenture (and subject to the provisions of paragraph 43 of Schedule Al to the Insolvency Act 1986), the Collateral Agent may by written notice to a Charging Company convert the floating charge created by this Composite Debenture into a fixed charge as regards all or any of that Charging Company’s assets specified in the notice if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

4.2                                 Automatic conversion of floating charge

 

The floating charge created by a Charging Company under this Composite Debenture shall (in addition to the circumstances in which the same will occur under general law but subject to the provisions of paragraph 43 of Schedule Al to the Insolvency Act 1986) automatically be converted into a fixed charge in relation to any of the Collateral subject to the floating charge created by Clause 3.3 (a “Floating Charge Asset”) if such Charging Company creates (or purports to create) a Security Interest (other than a Permitted Lien) on or over the relevant Floating Charge Asset without the prior consent

 

8



 

in writing of the Collateral Agent or if any third party levies any distress, execution, attachment or other legal process against any such Floating Charge Asset or attempts to do so and such attempt, in the opinion of leading counsel, has a reasonable prospect of success.

 

4.3                                 No waiver

 

The giving by the Collateral Agent of a notice pursuant to Clause 4.1 in relation to any class of assets of any Charging Company shall not be construed as a waiver or abandonment of the rights of the Collateral Agent to serve similar notices in respect of any other class of assets or of any of the other rights of the Collateral Agent.

 

5.             CONTINUING SECURITY

 

5.1                                 This Composite Debenture shall be in addition to, and without prejudice to and shall not merge with, any other right, remedy, guarantee, mortgage or other security which the Collateral Agent may at any time hold for any of the Secured Obligations and this Composite Debenture may be enforced against each or any Charging Company without the Collateral Agent first having recourse to any other right, remedy, guarantee, mortgage or other security held or available to it.

 

5.2                                 This Composite Debenture shall remain in full force and effect as a continuing security until the Collateral Agent shall have certified in writing that the Secured Obligations have been discharged in full.

 

6.             NEGATIVE PLEDGE

 

Save as permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement, each Charging Company severally covenants with the Collateral Agent that, during the continuance of the security created by this Composite Debenture, it shall not without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent:

 

6.1                                 Create or permit to subsist any Security Interest (other than a Permitted Lien) upon any of the Collateral;

 

6.2                                 Sell, transfer, assign, lease, lend or otherwise dispose of, whether by a single transaction or a number of transactions and whether related or not, the whole or any part of the Collateral except in the ordinary course of business in the case of Collateral that is a Floating Charge Asset.

 

7.             FURTHER ASSURANCE

 

7.1                                 Subject and without prejudice to the terms of the Credit Agreement, each Charging Company will, whenever requested by the Collateral Agent and at its own expense, promptly execute such deeds or documents and take any action reasonably required by the Collateral Agent to perfect and protect the security created (or intended to be created) by this Composite Debenture or to facilitate the realisation thereof or otherwise to

 

9



 

enforce the same or exercise any of the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder. In particular, but without limitation, each Charging Company will:

 

7.1.1                        execute a valid legal mortgage or, in the case or property situated in Scotland, a standard security, in such form as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably require, of any freehold, leasehold or heritable property now or in the future belonging to such Charging Company which is not hereby effectively charged by way of legal mortgage or, in the case of property situated in Scotland, by way of standard security;

 

7.1.2                        execute a legal assignment in such form as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require over all or any of the Accounts or debts, proceeds or moneys referred to in Clause 3.1.6 and/or the contracts relating thereto and give notice of such assignment to the relevant debtors and/or counterparties thereto;

 

7.1.3                        execute a valid fixed charge in such form as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require over any asset the subject of the floating charge hereunder at any time after conversion under Clause 4.1 or 4.2; and

 

7.1.4                        otherwise execute all transfers, assignments, conveyances and assurances whatsoever and give all notices, orders, instructions and directions whatsoever which the Collateral Agent may reasonably think expedient.

 

7.2                                 Any security document required to be executed by a Charging Company pursuant to Clause 7.1 will be prepared at the cost of such Charging Company and will contain terms and conditions which are no more onerous than those contained herein.

 

7.3                                 Each Charging Company as registered proprietor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent to apply for the particulars of this Composite Debenture and of the interest of the Collateral Agent in the Intellectual Property and any other or future trade marks or trade mark applications registered or to be registered in the United Kingdom in the name of each Charging Company to be made on the Register of Trade Marks under section 25(1) of the Trade Marks Act 1994 and each Charging Company hereby agrees to execute all documents and forms required to enable such particulars to be entered on the Register of Trade Marks.

12.4.7                                          To take any such proceedings, in the name of any of the Charging Companies or otherwise, as he shall think fit in respect of the Collateral and/or income in respect of which he was appointed, including proceedings for recovery of rent or other monies in arrears at the date of his appointment;

disposal by the Receiver or the Collateral Agent may contain conditions excluding or restricting the personal liability of the Receiver and the Collateral Agent.

15.          PROTECTION OF THIRD PARTIES

 

No purchaser from or other person dealing with the Collateral Agent, with any Receiver or with any Administrator shall be obliged or concerned to enquire whether the right of the Collateral Agent to appoint a Receiver or Administrator or the right of the Collateral Agent or any Receiver to exercise any of the powers conferred by this Composite Debenture in relation to the Collateral or any part thereof have arisen or become exercisable by the Collateral Agent or by any such Receiver or Administrator, nor be concerned with notice to the contrary, nor with the propriety of the exercise or purported exercise of any such powers and the title of such a purchase and the position of such a person shall not be impeachable by reference to any of those matters.

 

16.          NOTICE OF SUBSEQUENT SECURITY INTEREST

 

If the Collateral Agent receives notice (whether actual or otherwise) of any subsequent Security Interest, other than a Permitted Lien, affecting any part of the Collateral and/or

 

20



 

the proceeds of sale thereof, it may open a new account or accounts for any of the Charging Companies in its books and if it does not do so then, as from the time of receipt of such notice by the Collateral Agent, all payments made by such Charging Company to the Collateral Agent shall be treated as having been credited to the new account of such Charging Company and not as having been applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations.

 

17.          CONSOLIDATION OF ACCOUNTS AND SET-OFF

 

17.1                           The Collateral Agent shall be entitled, at any time or times after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing and without prior notice to the Charging Companies (both before and after demand);

 

17.1.1                  To combine or consolidate all or any sums of money now or hereafter standing to the credit of the then existing Accounts (including any of the Collections Accounts (if any)) of any of the Charging Companies with the Collateral Agent with the liabilities to the Collateral Agent of any of the Charging Companies; and

 

17.1.2                  To set-off or transfer any sum or sums standing to the credit of any one or more of such Accounts (including any of the Collections Accounts (if any)) in or towards satisfaction of any of the liabilities of all or any of the Charging Companies to the Collateral Agent on any other account or in any other respect.

 

The liabilities referred to in this Clause 17 may be actual, primary, collateral, several or joint liabilities, and the accounts, sums and liabilities referred to in this Clause 17 may be denominated in any currency.

 

17.2                           If the amounts concerned are expressed in a different currency then the Collateral Agent may exercise all such rights and is authorized to effect any necessary conversions at a market rate of exchange selected by it.

 

17.3                           If the relevant obligation or liability is unliquidated or unascertained the Collateral Agent may set-off the amount it estimates (in good faith) will be the final amount of such obligation or liability once it becomes liquidated or ascertained.

 

18.          CURRENCY AND THE EURO

 

18.1                           All monies received or held by the Collateral Agent, any Receiver or any Administrator under this Composite Debenture may be converted from their existing currency into such other currency as the Collateral Agent considers necessary or desirable to cover the obligations and liabilities comprised in the Secured Obligations in that other currency at the spot rate of exchange.

 

18.2                           No payment to the Collateral Agent (whether under any judgment or court order or in the liquidation or dissolution of any of the Charging Companies or otherwise) shall discharge the obligation or liability of any Charging Company in respect of which it was made, unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received payment in full in the currency in which the obligation or liability was incurred and, to the extent that the amount of any

 

21



 

such payment shall on actual conversion into such currency fall short of such obligation or liability expressed in that currency, the Collateral Agent shall have a further separate cause of action against such Charging Company and shall be entitled to enforce the security constituted by this Composite Debenture to recover the amount of the shortfall.

 

18.3                           If sterling is, or is to be replaced by the euro, the Collateral Agent may notify the Charging Companies of any amendments to this Composite Debenture which the Collateral Agent reasonably considers necessary to reflect that replacement and to put the Collateral Agent in the same position, so far as possible, that it would have been in if no such replacement had occurred. Upon such notification this Composite Debenture shall be deemed to be amended in accordance with such notification.

 

19.          APPROPRIATION AND SUSPENSE ACCOUNT

 

19.1                           Subject to Clause 18.2, the Collateral Agent may apply all payments received for the Secured Obligations to reduce any part of those liabilities as it thinks fit.

 

19.2                           All monies received, recovered or realized by the Collateral Agent under this Composite Debenture may, at the direction of the Collateral Agent, be credited to any suspense account for so long as the Collateral Agent determines (with interest accruing thereon at such rate, if any, as the Collateral Agent may determine for the account of the relevant Charging Company) pending application by the Collateral Agent (as it may determine) in or towards the discharge of any of the Secured Obligations.

 

20.          PAYMENTS

 

20.1                           Subject to Clause 20.2, all payments to be made by any Charging Company in respect of this Composite Debenture, shall be made in immediately available funds to the credit of such account as the Collateral Agent may designate. All such payments shall be made free and clear of, and without any deduction for, or on account of, any set-off or counterclaim or, except to the extent compelled by law, any deduction on account of any Taxes.

 

20.2                           If any Charging Company is compelled by law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any sum payable hereunder to the Collateral Agent, the sum so payable by such Charging Company shall be increased so as to result in the receipt by the Collateral Agent of a net amount equal to the full amount expressed to be payable hereunder and such Charging Company will supply the Collateral Agent promptly with evidence satisfactory to the Collateral Agent that such Charging Company has accounted to the relevant authority for the sum withheld or deducted.

 

21.          DELAY, OMISSION, AMENDMENTS AND CONSENTS

 

21.1                           No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Collateral Agent any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other power or right. The rights and remedies

 

22



 

herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

 

21.2                           Any provisions of this Composite Debenture may be amended only if the Collateral Agent, the Charging Companies so agree in writing and any breach hereof may be waived before or after it occurs only if the Collateral Agent so agrees in writing.

22.3                           The amounts payable under Clauses 22.1 and 22.2 shall carry interest at the Default Rate (as well after as before any judgment) from the dates on which they were demanded by the Collateral Agent or the Receiver or Administrator (as the case may be) and shall form part of the Secured Obligations and accordingly be secured on the Collateral under the charges contained in this Composite Debenture.

 

22.4                           Each Charging Company shall pay all present and future stamp, registration and similar taxes or charges which may be payable, or determined to be payable, in connection with the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Composite Debenture or any judgment given in connection therewith and shall indemnify the Collateral Agent and the Receiver or Administrator against any and all liabilities, including, without limitation, penalties with respect to, or resulting from its delay or omission to pay any such stamp, registration and similar taxes or charges.

27.          TERMINATION; RELEASE

 

27.1                           Termination

 

This Composite Debenture and the security interest created hereby shall terminate when all the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, at which time the Lenders shall direct the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver to each Charging Company or the Charging Company’s designee, at the relevant Charging Company’s expense, all documents which such Charging Company shall reasonably request from time to time to evidence such termination. Any execution and delivery of termination documents pursuant to this Clause 27.1 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent or the Lenders.

 

27.2                           Release

 

25



 

If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by a Charging Company in a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents, the security interest created hereby in any Collateral that is so sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of shall automatically terminate and be released upon the closing of such sale, transfer or other disposition, and such Collateral shall be sold free and clear of the lien and security interest created hereby; provided, however, that such security interest will continue to attach to all proceeds of such sales or other dispositions. In connection with any of the foregoing, the Lenders shall direct the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver to each Charging Company or the Charging Company’s designee, at the relevant Charging Company’s expense, all documents that such Charging Company shall reasonably request from time to time to evidence such termination. Any execution and delivery of termination documents pursuant to this Clause 27.2 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent or the Lenders.

28.2.3                  Other competent jurisdictions

 

The submission to the jurisdiction of the courts referred to in Clause 28.2.1 shall not (and shall not be construed so as to) limit the right of the Collateral Agent to take proceedings against any Charging Company in any other court of competent jurisdiction (including without limitation and for the avoidance of doubt, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement) nor shall the taking of

 

26



 

proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.

Each of the Charging Companies hereby consents in respect of any legal action or proceeding arising out of, or in connection with, this Composite Debenture, to the giving of any relief, or the issue of any process in connection with such action or proceeding including, without limitation, the making, enforcement or execution against any property whatsoever (irrespective of its use or intended use) of any order or judgment which may be made or given in such action or proceeding.

To the extent that any of the Charging Companies may in any jurisdiction claim for itself or its assets, immunity from suit, execution, attachment (whether in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other legal process and, to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed to itself or its assets such immunity (whether or not claimed), the Charging Companies hereby irrevocably agree that they shall not claim and hereby irrevocably waive such immunity to the full extent permitted by the law of such jurisdiction.

Each Charging Company shall, by way of security for the Secured Obligations, in respect of all Charged Shares which are in certificated form:

 

1.1                                 immediately deliver to the Collateral Agent (or as it shall direct) all certificates and other documents of title to such Charged Shares together with instruments of transfer executed in blank in respect of such Charged Shares and left undated; and
