7.                      ENFORCEMENT OF SECURITY

 

The enforcement of security under this Section 7 is subject to terms, conditions and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements.

 

13











 

7.1               Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default the Security Interest hereby constituted shall become immediately enforceable and the power of sale and other powers specified in Section 30 of the Conveyancing Act 1983 (applied in respect of personal property as well as real property) as varied or amended by this Charge shall be immediately exercisable and the Chargee may, at any time, without notice to, or consultation with, or the consent of, the Chargor:

 

(a)                solely and exclusively exercise all voting and/or consensual powers pertaining to the Charged Property or any part thereof and may exercise such powers in such manner as the Chargee may think fit; and/or

 

(b)                remove the then existing directors and officers (with or without cause) by dating and presenting the undated, signed letters of resignation delivered pursuant to this Charge; and/or

 

(c)                 receive and retain all dividends, interest, distributions or other moneys or assets accruing on or in respect of the Charged Property or any part thereof, such dividends, interest, distributions or other moneys or assets to be held by the Chargee, until applied in the manner described in Clause 7.5, as additional security charged under and subject to the terms of this Charge and any such dividends, interest, distributions or other moneys or assets received by the Chargor after such time shall be held in trust by the Chargor for the Chargee and paid or transferred to the Chargee on demand; and/or

 

(d)                appoint by instrument any person to be a receiver of the Charged Property (the “Receiver”) and remove any Receiver so appointed and appoint another or others in his stead; and/or

 

(e)                 sell, transfer, grant options over or otherwise dispose of the Charged Property or any part thereof at such place and in such manner and at such price or prices as the Chargee may deem fit, and thereupon the Chargee shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer in accordance therewith the Charged Property so sold, transferred, granted options over or otherwise disposed of; and/or

 

(f)                  complete any undated blank share transfer forms of all or any part of the Charged Property by dating the same and/or inserting its name or the name of its nominee as transferee.

 

7.2               The Chargor hereby waives the entitlement conferred by Section 29 of the Conveyancing Act 1983 (to the extent applicable) and agrees that Section 31 of that Act (to the extent applicable) shall not apply to the security created by this Charge. For the avoidance of doubt, the powers of the Chargee by virtue of this Charge shall not be limited to those specified in Section 30 of the Conveyancing

 

14











 

Act 1983. For the purpose of all powers conferred by statute, the Secured Obligations shall be deemed to have become due and payable on the date hereof.

 

7.3               The Chargee shall not be obliged to make any enquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it under this Charge or to make any claim or to take any action to collect any moneys assigned by this Charge or to enforce any rights or benefits assigned to the Chargee by this Charge or to which the Chargee may at any time be entitled hereunder.

 

7.4               Upon any sale of the Charged Property or any part thereof by the Chargee, the purchaser shall not be bound to see or enquire whether the Chargee’s power of sale has become exercisable in the manner provided in this Charge and the sale shall be deemed to be within the power of the Chargee, and the receipt of the Chargee for the purchase money shall effectively discharge the purchaser who shall not be concerned with the manner of application of the proceeds of sale or be in any way answerable therefor.

 

7.5               All moneys received by the Chargee pursuant to this Charge shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.1 of the Intercreditor Agreements.

 

7.6               Neither the Chargee nor its 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.

 

7.7               The Chargee shall not by reason of the taking of possession of the whole or any part of the Charged Property or any part thereof be liable to account as mortgagee-in-possession or for anything except actual receipts or be liable for any loss upon realisation or for any default or omission for which a mortgagee-in-possession might be liable.

 

7.8               In addition to all other rights or powers vested in the Chargee hereunder or by statute or otherwise, the Receiver may take such action in relation to the enforcement of this Charge to:

 

(a)                take possession of, redeem, collect and get in all or any part of the Charged Property;

 

(b)                raise or borrow money and grant security therefor over all or any part of the Charged Property;

15

(e)                 in the name of the Chargor or in his own name, bring, prosecute, enforce, defend and abandon applications, claims, disputes, actions, suits and proceedings in connection with all or any part of the Charged Property and to submit to arbitration, negotiate, compromise and settle any such applications, claims, disputes, actions, suits or proceedings;

 

(f)                  sell, call in, collect and convert to money the Charged Property or any of it at such place and in such manner and at such price or prices as he shall think fit;

 

(g)                 exercise any powers, discretion, voting or other rights or entitlements in relation to the Charged Property and generally to carry out any other action which he may in his sole discretion deem appropriate in relation to the enforcement of this Charge;

 

(h)                make any arrangement or compromise which he shall think expedient; and

 

(i)                    do all such other acts and things as may be considered to be incidental or conducive to any of the matters or powers aforesaid and which the Receiver lawfully may or can do as agent for the Chargor.

 

7.9               Every Receiver shall, so far as it concerns responsibility for his acts, be deemed to be an agent of the Chargor, which shall be solely responsible for his acts and defaults and for the payment of his remuneration and no Receiver shall at any time act as agent for the Chargee.

 

7.10        Every Receiver shall be entitled to remuneration for his services at a rate to be fixed by agreement between him and the Chargee (or, failing such agreement, to be fixed by the Chargee) appropriate to the work and responsibilities involved, upon the basis of current industry practice.

 

8.                      FURTHER ASSURANCES

 

8.1               The Chargor shall execute and do all such assurances, acts and things as the Chargee in its absolute discretion may require for:

 

(a)                perfecting, protecting or ensuring the priority of the Security Interest hereby created (or intended to be created);

 

(b)                preserving or protecting any of the rights of the Chargee under this Charge;

 

16











 

(c)                 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 Chargee;

 

(d)                facilitating the appropriation or realisation of the Charged Property or any part thereof; or

 

(e)                 exercising any power, authority or discretion vested in the Chargee under this Charge,

 

in any such case, forthwith upon demand by the Chargee and at the expense of the Chargor.

 

8.2               Without limitation to the generality of Clause 8.1, the Chargor covenants with the Chargee that it will on demand of the Chargee procure any amendment to the memorandum of association or bye-laws of the Company necessary or, in the opinion of the Chargee desirable, in order to give effect to the terms of this Charge or any documents or transactions provided for herein.

 

8.3               The Chargor shall provide such assurances and do all acts and things the Receiver may in his absolute discretion require for the purpose of exercising the powers (or giving effect to the exercise of the powers) conferred on the Receiver hereunder and the Chargor hereby irrevocably appoints the Receiver to be the lawful attorney in fact of the Chargor to do any act or thing and to exercise all the powers of the Chargor for the purpose of exercising the powers (or giving effect to the exercise of the powers) conferred on the Receiver hereunder.

 

9.                      INDEMNITIES

 

9.1               The Chargor will indemnify and save harmless the Chargee, the Receiver 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 reasonably suffered, incurred or made by the Chargee, the Receiver or such agent or attorney:

 

(a)                in the exercise or purported exercise of any rights, powers or discretions vested in them pursuant to this Charge;

 

(b)                in the preservation or enforcement of the Chargee’s rights under this Charge or the priority thereof; or

 

(c)                 on the release of any part of the Charged Property from the security created by this Charge,

 

and the Chargee, the Receiver or such agent or attorney may retain and pay all sums in respect of the same out of money received under the powers conferred

 

17











 

by this Charge. All amounts recoverable by the Chargee, the Receiver or such agent or attorney or any of them shall be recoverable on a full indemnity basis.

 

9.2               If, under any applicable law or regulation, and whether pursuant to a judgment being made or registered against the Chargor or the bankruptcy or liquidation of the Chargor or for any other reason any payment under or in connection with this Charge is made or falls to be satisfied in a currency (the “Payment Currency”) other than the currency in which such payment is due under or in connection with this Charge (the “Contractual Currency”), then to the extent that the amount of such payment actually received by the Chargee when converted into the Contractual Currency at the rate of exchange, falls short of the amount due under or in connection with this Charge, the Chargor, as a separate and independent obligation, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Chargee against the amount of such shortfall. For the purposes of this Clause, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Chargee is able on or about the date of such payment to purchase the Contractual Currency with the Payment Currency and shall take into account any premium and other costs of exchange with respect thereto.

 

10.               POWER OF ATTORNEY

 

10.1        The Chargor, by way of security and in order more fully to secure the performance of its obligations hereunder, hereby irrevocably appoints the Chargee and the persons deriving title under it jointly and also severally to be its attorney:

 

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

 

(b)                to take and institute on non-payment (if the Chargee in its sole discretion so decides) all steps and proceedings in the name of the Chargor or of the Chargee for the recovery of such moneys, property and assets hereby charged and to agree accounts;

 

(c)                 to make allowances and give time or other indulgence to any surety or other person liable;

 

(d)                otherwise generally to act for it and in its name and on its behalf; and

 

(e)                 to sign, execute, seal and deliver and otherwise perfect and do any such legal assignments and other assurances, charges, authorities and documents over the moneys, property and assets hereby charged, and all such deeds, instruments, acts and things (including, without limitation, those referred to in Clause 8) which may be required for the full exercise

 

18











 

of all or any of the powers conferred or which may be deemed proper on or in connection with any of the purposes aforesaid.

 

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 the Chargee of such power shall be conclusive evidence of its right to exercise the same.

 

10.3        Notwithstanding the rights of the Chargee under Clauses 10.1 and 10.2, the Chargee’s rights under the power of attorney shall be subject to the Intercreditor Agreements.

 

11.               EXPENSES

 

11.1        The Chargor shall pay to the Chargee on demand all costs, fees and expenses (including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses) and taxes thereon incurred by the Chargee or for which the Chargee may become liable in connection with:

 

(a)                the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Charge;

 

(b)                the preserving or enforcing of, or attempting to preserve or enforce, any of its rights under this Charge or the priority hereof;

 

(c)                 any variation of, or amendment or supplement to, any of the terms of this Charge; and/or

 

(d)                any consent or waiver required from the Chargee in relation to this Charge,

 

and in any case referred to in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Clause 8.1 regardless of whether the same is actually implemented, completed or granted, as the case may be.

 

11.2        The Chargor shall pay promptly any stamp, documentary and other like duties and taxes to which this Charge may be subject or give rise and shall indemnify the Chargee on demand against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission on the part of the Chargor to pay any such duties or taxes.

 

12.               NOTICES

 

Any notice required to be given hereunder shall be in writing in the English language and shall be served by sending the same by prepaid recorded post, facsimile or by delivering the same by hand to the address of the Party or Parties in question as set out below (or such other address as such Party or Parties shall
