12



---

|10.5 | Agent of the Company
|---- | --------------------



Each Receiver is deemed to be the agent of the Company for all purposes and accordingly is deemed to be in the same position as a Receiver duly appointed
by a mortgagee under the Act. The Company alone shall be responsible for its contracts, engagements, acts, omissions, defaults and losses and for liabilities incurred by him and the Security Trustee shall not incur any liability (either to the
Company or to any other person) by reason of the Security Trustee making its appointment as a Receiver or for any other reason.



|10.6 | Privileges

|10.7 | Protection of third parties
|---- | ---------------------------



No person (including a purchaser) dealing with the Security Trustee or a Receiver or its or his agents will be concerned to enquire:



| | (a) | whether the Secured Liabilities have become payable;
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | whether any power which the Security Trustee or the Receiver is purporting to exercise has become exercisable;
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | whether any Secured Liabilities remain due; or

| | (d) | how any money paid to the Security Trustee or to the Receiver is to be applied.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|10.8 | Redemption of prior Mortgages
|---- | -----------------------------



At any time after the security constituted by this Deed has become enforceable, the Security Trustee may do one or more of the following:

| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|---- | ------------



The Security Trustee may fix the remuneration of any Receiver appointed by it and the maximum rate specified in Section 109(6) of the Act shall not apply.



|11.4 | Relationship with Security Trustee
|---- | ----------------------------------



To the fullest extent permitted by law, any right, power or discretion conferred by this Deed (either expressly or impliedly) upon a Receiver of the
