	3.	PRESERVATION OF SECURITY

the Security Trustee for any Secured Liability. 
  

	3.3	Waiver of defences 

  
 The obligations of the Chargor under this Mortgage of Shares will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this provision,

shall include each variation or replacement; 

  

 3 









	 	(f)	any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Finance Document or any other document or security, to the intent that the Chargor’s
obligations under this Mortgage of Shares shall remain in full force and be construed accordingly, as if there were no unenforceability, illegality or invalidity; or 

  

	 	(g)	any postponement, discharge, reduction, non-provability or other similar circumstance affecting any obligation of the Borrower under a Finance Document resulting from any
insolvency, liquidation or dissolution proceedings or from any law, regulation or order so that each such obligation shall for the purposes of the Chargor’s obligations under this Mortgage of Shares be construed as if there were no such
circumstance. 

  

	3.4	Immediate recourse

other rights or security or claim payment from any person before enforcing this Mortgage of Shares.

behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and the Chargor shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and 


 

	 	(b)	hold in a suspense account any moneys received on an enforcement of this Mortgage of Shares without liability to pay interest on those moneys. 

  

	3.6	Non-competition

becomes enforceable: 
  

	 	(a)	be subrogated to any rights, security or moneys held, received or receivable by the Finance Parties or the Security Trustee (or any other trustee or agent on their behalf) or be
entitled to any right of contribution or indemnity in respect of any action taken, payment made or moneys received on account of the Chargor’s liability under this Mortgage of Shares; 

  

	 	(b)	claim, rank, prove or vote as a creditor of any other Obligor or their respective estates in competition with the Security Trustee; or 

  

	 	(c)	receive, claim or have the benefit of any payment, distribution or security from or on account of the Borrower or any other Obligor, or exercise any right of set-off as against any
Obligor. 

  

 4

transfer to the Security Trustee any payment or distribution or benefit of security received by it contrary to this Clause 3.6 or as directed by the Security Trustee.

	(a)	Where any discharge (whether in respect of the obligations of the Borrower, this Mortgage of Shares, any other security or otherwise) is made in whole or in part or any arrangement
is made on the faith of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored on insolvency, liquidation or otherwise without limitation, this security and the liability of the Chargor under this Mortgage of Shares shall
continue as if the discharge or arrangement had not occurred.

of Shares. 

  

 7 









	7.2	Shares 

  
 After the security constituted by this Mortgage of Shares has become enforceable, the Security Trustee may exercise (in the name of the Chargor and
without any further consent or authority on the part of the Chargor) any voting rights and any powers or rights which may be exercised by the person or persons in whose name any Share or its Related Rights are registered or who is the holder of any
of them or otherwise (including all the powers given to trustees by Section 10(3) and (4) of the Trustee Act, 1925 as amended by Section 9 of the Trustee Investment Act, 1961 in respect of securities or property subject to a trust). 
  

	7.3	Contingencies 

  
 If the Security Trustee enforces the security constituted by this Mortgage of Shares at a time when no amounts are due under the Finance Documents but at
a time when amounts may or will become so due, the Security Trustee (or the Receiver) may pay the proceeds of any recoveries effected by it into a suspense account. 
  

	7.4	No liability as mortgagee in possession

	7.5	Agent of the Chargor 

  
 Each Receiver is deemed to be the agent of the Chargor 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 Chargor alone shall be responsible for his 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
Chargor or to any other person) by reason of the Security Trustee making his appointment as a Receiver or for any other reason.

	7.7	Protection of purchaser 

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

	 	(a)	whether the Secured Liabilities have become payable; or 

  

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

  

	 	(c)	whether any money remains due under the Finance Documents; or 

  

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

	8.	RECEIVER 

  

	8.1	Appointment of Receiver 

  
 At any time after the security constituted by this Mortgage of Shares becomes enforceable, or if the Chargor so requests the Security Trustee in writing,
at any time, the Security Trustee may without further notice appoint under seal or in writing under its hand any one or more persons to be a Receiver of all or any part of the Security Assets in like manner in every respect as if the Security
Trustee had become entitled under the Act to exercise the power of sale conferred under the Act.

 To the fullest extent permitted by law, any right, power or discretion conferred by this Mortgage of Shares (either expressly or impliedly) upon a
Receiver of the Security Assets may after the security created by this Mortgage of Shares becomes enforceable be exercised by the Security Trustee in relation to any Security Asset without first appointing a Receiver or notwithstanding the
appointment of a Receiver.

misconduct on the part of any such delegate or sub-delegate unless caused by the gross negligence or wilful default of the Security Trustee or, as the case may be, the Receiver. 
  

	13.	FURTHER ASSURANCES

 The Chargor shall, at its own expense, take whatever action the Security Trustee or a Receiver may require for:

	 	(b)	facilitating the realisation of any Security Asset or the exercise of any right, power or discretion exercisable by the Security Trustee or any Receiver or any of its delegates or
sub-delegates in respect of any Security Asset after such time as the Security constituted by this Mortgage of Shares shall have become enforceable, 

  
 including the execution of any transfer, conveyance, assignment or assurance of any property whether to the Security Trustee

	13.2	Legal Charge 

  
 Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 13.1, the Chargor will forthwith at the request of the Security Agent (acting reasonably) execute a legal
mortgage, charge or assignment over all or any of the Security Assets subject to or intended to be subject to any fixed security hereby created in favour of the Security Agent (as agent and trustee as aforesaid) in such form as the Security Agent
may require but containing terms no more onerous than those in this Mortgage of Shares. 
  

	14.	POWER OF ATTORNEY 

  
 The Chargor, by way of security, irrevocably and severally appoints the Security Trustee, each Receiver and any of its delegates or sub-delegates to be
its attorney to take any action which the Chargor is obliged to take under this Mortgage of Shares, including under Clause 13 (Further Assurances). The Chargor ratifies and confirms whatever any attorney does or purports to do pursuant to its
appointment under this Clause.
