        claim, enforce and prove for the Subordinated Debt or take any analogous action anywhere;

        each Subordinated Creditor will hold all payments and distributions in cash or in kind received or receivable by it in respect of the Subordinated Debt from the Borrower or its estate or from any other source in trust for the Lender to the extent of the Senior Debt and will pay and transfer them to the Lender for application towards the Senior Debt until the Senior Debt is irrevocably paid in full;

 4.2
        Failure of Trust

        will not be subrogated to any rights, security or monies held, received or receivable by the Lender;
 (b)
        will not be entitled to any right of contribution or indemnity in respect of any payment made or monies received on account of a Subordinated Creditors liability under this Deed;
 (c)
        may not claim, rank, prove or vote as a creditor of any Obligor or its estate in competition with the Lender; or

        Effect of Assignment by the Lender of Rights
 Upon receipt by each Subordinated Creditor or the Borrower of written notice of any assignment of rights against it under this Deed, such assignment shall take effect as an absolute assignment and the assignee shall accordingly be entitled to sue each Subordinated Creditor or the Borrower without joining the assignor as a party to the proceedings.

 Each of the Subordinated Creditors and the Borrower irrevocably agrees that, if it receives written notice of any transfer of obligations owed to it under this Deed and the transferee confirms in such notice that it will perform such transferred obligations, then upon receipt of such notice such obligations shall be novated and, after that, shall be owed to such Subordinated Creditor or the Borrower by the transferee and not by the transferor. 10.4
        No Assignment or Transfer by the Subordinated Creditors or the Borrower
 Neither the Borrower nor any Subordinated Creditor may assign or transfer any one or more of its rights (if any) or obligations under this Deed. 10.5

        such Obligor shall pay to the Lender on demand any exchange costs and taxes payable in connection with any such conversion; and

 (d)
        To the extent that the undertaking in the preceding paragraphs of this Clause 12.8 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, each Obligor will contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction at such undertaking.
