them under Clause 26.10 (Lenders Indemnity to the Agent and the Security Trustee);
| | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

it is so obliged; and
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (v) | fifthly, in payment to such Obligor.
| | --- | ------------------------------------



| | (b) | Before making any application under paragraph (a) above the Security Trustee may:
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | convert any Proceeds attributable to any Obligor from their existing currency of denomination into the currency or currencies (if different) of sums then outstanding from that Obligor under the Finance Documents (any
such conversion from one currency to another to be made at the spot rate for the purchase of that other currency with the first-mentioned currency reasonably determined by the Security Trustee);
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | place any such Proceeds to the credit of a proceeds or a suspense or any other account or accounts (howsoever named) and hold the same (whether or not set aside by way of reserve in accordance with paragraph (b)(iii)

| | (iii) | set aside in any such account, by way of reserve, amounts required to meet:
| | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (A) | any amount which may become due and payable by that Obligor to the Security Trustee under the Finance Documents;
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (B) | all such Deductions insofar as they relate to that Obligor, the Rights relating to that Obligor and the obligations of that Obligor under the Finance Documents which will or may become payable and which will or may not

| | (C) | any other liability which may arise.
| | --- | ------------------------------------



| | (c) | An application of any Proceeds by the Security Trustee in accordance with paragraph (a) above does not prevent any subsequent exercise of its powers under paragraph (b) above.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | The fact that the Security Trustee may apply any Proceeds in accordance with paragraph (a)(ii) or paragraph (a)(iii) above, or determine that any Obligor is under no further actual or contingent liability under the
Finance Documents and apply any Proceeds in accordance with paragraph (a)(iv) or paragraph (a)(v) above, will not prevent the Security Trustee from applying any further Proceeds in the order set out in paragraph (a) above.

its capacity as security trustee under the Finance Documents or otherwise by virtue of such capacity. The Borrower agrees that its obligations under the Finance Documents shall only be discharged by virtue of receipt or recovery by the Security
Trustee of Proceeds, or of applications made by the Security Trustee under this
