subject to the conditions set out in this Agreement. 

  

	3.	CESSION AND PLEDGE IN SECURITY 

  

	3.1.	With effect from the Amendment Date, the Pledgor hereby pledges to the Debt Guarantor all of the Pledged Shares and cedes in securitatem debiti to the Debt Guarantor all of the Ceded Rights as a continuing

accepts. 

  

	3.2.	Without prejudice to the representations and warranties given by the Pledgor to the Debt Guarantor pursuant to Clause 4 (Warranties, Representations and Undertakings by the Pledgor) and without prejudice to the
rights of the Debt Guarantor or any other Finance Party consequent upon any breach of such representations and warranties, if the Pledged Shares and/or the Ceded Rights are subject to any right in breach of the representations and warranties in
Clause 4.1.4 (Warranties, Representations and Undertakings by the Pledgor), this Agreement shall (without prejudice to any other rights the Debt Guarantor and/or the Finance Parties may have pursuant to the any Finance Document(s) and without
affecting the operation of this Agreement in respect of those of the Ceded Rights which have not been so ceded or pledged to another person) constitute a cession in securitatem debiti to the Debt Guarantor of the Pledgor’s reversionary
rights or other interests (including all of the Pledgor’s rights of action against such other person/s and any rights which now or may in the future vest in the Pledgor pursuant to such reversionary rights) in respect of those Ceded Rights,
which are hereby ceded in securitatem debiti to the Debt Guarantor with effect from the Amendment Date, which cession the Debt Guarantor hereby accepts. The Debt Guarantor shall be entitled to notify any such other person of this Agreement,
and if any such other person is entitled to possession of any of the documents referred to in Clause 5 (Delivery of Documents of Title and authorisations to the Debt Guarantor), then the Pledgor shall deliver photocopies of the documents to

some of the Pledged Shares or the 



  
 - 6 - 









	 	
Ceded Rights, then the pledge of those Pledged Shares and/or the cession of those Ceded Rights, as the case may be, shall be severed from this Agreement, and this Agreement and all the security
interests created over the remainder of the Pledged Shares and the Ceded Rights shall continue in full force and effect. 

  

	3.5.	The Security Cession contemplated by this Agreement operates as a security cession and pledge and not as an out and out or outright cession and the Pledgor retains bare ownership of the Pledged Shares and the Ceded

that such notification has been duly given; 

  

	7.2.2.	refuse to accept any payment, delivery or performance tendered in respect of any of the Pledged Shares and/or the Ceded Rights in order that such payment, delivery or performance be tendered to the Debt Guarantor, which

incurred by the Debt Guarantor in relation to such realisation) in reduction or discharge, as the case may be, of the Pledgor’s obligations under the Secured Obligations. 


 

	8.2.	Any amount remaining thereafter shall be paid to the Pledgor provided that all of the Secured Obligations have been completely, unconditionally and irrevocably fulfilled, but by no later than 30 (thirty) days after the

	12.2.	If the Pledgor suffers any loss arising from any of the facts, circumstances, acts or omissions referred to above, the Pledgor will have no claim against the Debt Guarantor or any Finance Party in respect thereof,
