or its nominee or otherwise) and make any registration or notarisation and give any notice, instructions, order or direction in respect of the Security Assets.







 





	
27

	
PRIOR SECURITY INTERESTS








	
27.1

	
In the event of any action, proceeding or step being taken to exercise any powers or remedies conferred by any prior ranking Security Interest against any of the Security Assets or in case of exercise by the Lender or any Receiver of any power of sale under this Deed, the Lender may redeem such prior Security Interest or procure the transfer of such Security Interest to itself.








	
27.2

	
The Lender may settle and agree the accounts of the holder of the prior Security Interest and any accounts so settled and agreed will (in the absence of manifest error) be conclusive and binding on the Chargors.








	
27.3

	
All principal monies, interest, costs, charges and expenses of and incidental to any redemption or transfer will be paid by the Chargors to the Lender on demand together with accrued interest on such sums as well as before judgement at the rate of fifteen per cent. per annum from the time or respective times of the same having been paid or incurred until payment of such sums (as well as after as before judgment).








	
28

	
SUBSEQUENT SECURITY INTERESTS







If the Lender receives, or is deemed to be affected by, notice whether actual or constructive of any subsequent Security Asset or other interest affecting the Security Assets, it may open a new account for the relevant Chargor in its books.  If the Lender does not open a new account, it shall nevertheless be treated as if it had done so at the time it received or was deemed to be affected by such notice.  Unless the Lender gives express written notice to the contrary to the Chargors, all payments made by the relevant Chargor to the Lender will, as from that time, be treated as having been credited to a new account of the relevant Chargor and not as having been applied in reduction of the Secured Liabilities.



	
29

	
SUSPENSE ACCOUNT








	
29.1

	
Contingencies







If the Security Interest constituted by this Deed, is enforced at a time when no amount is due under the Finance Documents but at a time when amounts may or will become due, the Lender (or the Receiver) may pay the proceeds of any recoveries effected by it into a suspense account in which event, Clause 29.2 (Suspense account) shall apply to such proceeds.



	
29.2

	
Suspense account







All monies received, recovered or realised by the Lender under this Deed (including the proceeds of any conversion of currency) may in the absolute discretion of the Lender be credited to any interest bearing suspense or impersonal account(s) maintained with a bank, building society or financial institution (including itself) for so long as it may think fit (the interest being credited to the relevant account) pending their application from time to time at the Lender's absolute discretion, in or towards the discharge of any of the Secured Liabilities.


 


 



PAGE 42










 


 



	
30

	
RELEASE OF SECURITY








	
30.1

	
Upon the occurrence of the Discharge Date and subject always to Clause 30.2, the Lender shall, at the request and cost of the Chargors, release and cancel the Security Interest constituted by this Deed and procure the reassignment to the relevant Chargor of the property and assets assigned to the Lender pursuant to this Deed, in each case without recourse to, or any representation or warranty by, Lender or any of its Delegates.








	
30.2

	
Following any discharge of any Chargor made by the Lender, in reliance on any payment or security, the Lender may retain the Security Interest constituted by this Deed (and all documents of title or other documents necessary to protect such Security Interest) until the expiry of the maximum period within which such payment or security can be avoided, reduced or invalidated for any reason. If the person other than the relevant Chargor making such payment or giving such security goes into liquidation or administration or equivalent proceedings in any foreign jurisdiction within that period the Lender may retain the Security Interest constituted by this Deed for as long as it sees fit.








	
31

	
SET-OFF







The Lender may set off any matured obligation due from any Chargor under this Deed (to the extent beneficially owned by the Lender) against any matured obligation owed by the Lender to that Chargor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation.  If the obligations are in different currencies, the Lender may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off.



	
32

	
FINANCIAL COLLATERAL








	
32.1

	
To the extent that any of the Security Assets constitute "financial collateral" and this Deed constitutes a "security financial collateral arrangement" (as those terms are defined in the Regulations), the Lender shall, upon the Security Interest created by this Deed becoming enforceable pursuant to Clause 18.2 and to the extent permitted by the Regulations, have the right to appropriate all or any part of the Security Assets in or towards the discharge of the Secured Liabilities without obtaining any court authorisation and in such order as the Lender may in its absolute discretion determine.








	
32.2

	
The Parties agree that the value of any Security Asset appropriated in accordance with sub-clause 32.1 above shall be:








	
32.2.1

	
in the case of cash denominated in the currency of denomination of the Secured Liabilities, the amount of such cash plus any accrued but unposted interest attributable to such cash on the date of appropriation;








	
32.2.2

	
in the case of any other cash, the amount of the currency of denomination of the Secured Liabilities that the Lender could purchase with the amount of such cash (plus any accrued but unposted interest attributable to such cash) on the date of appropriation in accordance with its usual practice; or








	
32.2.3

	
in the case of Shares, the price of those Shares at the time the right of appropriation is exercised as listed on any recognised market index, independent valuation or as determined by such other method as the Lender may select.

33.3

	
Currency indemnity








	
33.3.1

	
If any sum due from a Chargor under this Deed (a "Sum"), or any order, judgment or award given or made in relation to a Sum, has to be converted from the currency (the "First Currency") in which the Sum is payable into another currency (the "Second Currency") for the purposes of:








	
(a)

	
making or filing a claim against any Chargor; or








	
(b)

	
obtaining or enforcing an order, judgment or award in relation to any litigation or arbitration proceedings,







each Chargor shall, as an independent obligation, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify the Lender against any cost, loss or liability arising out of or as a result of the conversion including any discrepancy between (a) the rate of exchange used to convert that Sum from the First Currency into the Second Currency and (b) the rate or rates of exchange available to the Lender at the time of receipt of that Sum.



	
33.3.2

	
Each Chargor waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under this Deed in a currency or currency unit other that in which it is expressed to be payable.








	
34

	
PAYMENTS TO BE MADE WITHOUT DEDUCTION








	
34.1

	
No deductions







All sums payable by each Chargor under this Deed shall be paid in the Relevant Currency in immediately available funds and shall be paid to the credit of such account as the Lender may designate.  All such payments shall be made in full without set-off of any sum owing by the Lender to any Chargor or counterclaim and free and clear of any deductions of or withholding for or on account of any Tax or for any other reason, except to the extent that any such deduction or withholding is required by law.


 


 



PAGE 44










 



	
34.2

	
Grossing-up







If at any time any Chargor is required by law to make any deduction or withholding from any payment due from that Chargor to the Lender, that Chargor shall simultaneously pay to the Lender whatever additional amount is necessary to ensure that the Lender receives a net sum equal to the payment it would have received had no deduction or withholding been made.



	
35

A certificate or determination by the Lender or a Receiver of a rate or an amount under this Deed is, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive evidence of the matters to which it relates.



	
36

	
ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER








	
36.1

	
Chargors consent to assignment/transfer by Lender







Each Chargor consents to the assignment and/or transfer by the Lender of any one or more of its rights and/or obligations under this Deed. The Lender may, without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Chargor at any time charge, assign or otherwise create Security Interest in or over its rights, benefits and interests under this Deed to secure any obligations of any Secured Party.
