  (a)	as further continuing security for the payment of the Secured Obligations, each Chargor assigns by way of security absolutely with full title guarantee to the Security Agent all its rights, title and interest in:

  (i)	the Insurance Policies; and

  (ii)	the Assigned Agreements to which it is a party,

  subject in each case to reassignment by the Security Agent to the relevant Chargor of all such rights, title and interest on the Final Discharge Date; and

  (b)	until an Acceleration Event has occurred which is continuing, but subject to Clause 7.3 (Insurance Policies, Assigned Agreements) and the Secured Debt Documents, the relevant Chargor may continue to deal with the counterparties to the relevant Assigned Agreements and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be entitled to receive the proceeds of any claim under the Insurance Policies and Assigned Agreements.

  3.5	Conversion of floating charge

  (a)	The Security Agent may, by notice in writing to any Chargor, convert the floating charge created under this Debenture into one or more fixed charges with immediate effect as regards those assets specified in the notice:

  (ii)	if the Security Agent reasonably considers that it is required to protect the priority of the Security created under this Debenture.

  (b)	The floating charge created under this Debenture will automatically (without notice) and immediately be converted into a fixed charge over all the assets of a Chargor which are subject to the floating charge created under this Debenture, if:

  (ii)	any person (entitled to do so) takes any step to effect any expropriation, attachment, sequestration, distress or execution against any such asset.

  14

  

   

  (c)	Upon the conversion of any floating charge pursuant to this Clause 3.5, each relevant Chargor shall, at its own expense, following written request by the Security Agent execute a fixed charge or legal assignment consistent with the Agreed Security Principles on terms no more onerous to that Chargor than the terms set out in this Debenture (and otherwise in such form as the Security Agent may reasonably request in writing).

  (d)	Any floating charge which has crystallised under this Clause 3.5 may, by notice in writing given at any time by the Security Agent (acting on the unanimous instructions of the Secured Parties) to the relevant Chargor, be reconverted into a floating charge under paragraph (a) of Clause 3.3 (Floating charge) in relation to the assets, rights and property specified in that notice. The conversion to a fixed charge and reconversion to a floating charge (or the converse) may occur any number of times.

  3.6	Property restricting charging

  15.2	Primary liability of Chargor

  Each Chargor shall be deemed to be a principal debtor and the sole, original and independent obligor for the Secured Obligations and the Charged Property shall be deemed to be a principal security for the Secured Obligations. The liability of each Chargor under this Debenture and the charges contained in this Debenture shall not be impaired by any forbearance, neglect, indulgence, abandonment, extension of time, release, surrender or loss of securities, dealing, variation or 

  25

  

   

  arrangement by the Security Agent or any other Secured Party, or by any other act, event or matter whatsoever whereby the liability of the relevant Chargor (as a surety only) or the charges contained in this Debenture (as secondary or collateral charges only) would, but for this provision, have been discharged.

  15.3	Waiver of defences

  Clause 24.4 (Waiver of defences) of the Intercreditor Agreement is incorporated mutatis mutandis into this Debenture (including all capitalised terms as defined therein) but as if each reference therein to:

  (a)	a “Debtor” is a reference to a Chargor; and

  (b)	a “Debt Document” is a reference to a Secured Debt Document.

  15.4	Security Agent

  The provisions set out in clause 17 (The Security Agent) of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern the rights, duties and obligations of the Security Agent under this Debenture.

  15.5	Cumulative powers

  The powers which this Debenture confers on the Security Agent, the other Secured Parties and any Receiver appointed under this Debenture are cumulative, without prejudice to their respective powers under the general law, and may be exercised as often as the relevant person thinks appropriate. The Security Agent, the other Secured Parties or the Receiver may, in connection with the exercise of their powers, join or concur with any person in any transaction, scheme or arrangement whatsoever. The respective powers of the Security Agent, the other Secured Parties and the Receiver will in no circumstances be suspended, waived or otherwise prejudiced by anything other than an express consent or amendment.

  16.	POWER OF ATTORNEY

  (a)	Each Chargor, by way of security, irrevocably and severally appoints the Security Agent, each Receiver and any person nominated for the purpose by the Security Agent or any Receiver (in writing and signed by an officer of the Security Agent or Receiver) as its attorney (with full power of substitution and delegation) in its name and on its behalf and as its act and deed at any time upon or after the occurrence of an Acceleration Event which is continuing and in such manner as the attorney considers fit:

  (i)	to do anything which that Chargor is obliged to do under this Debenture (including to do all such acts or execute all such documents, assignments, transfers, mortgages, charges, notices, instructions, filings and registrations as the Security Agent may reasonably specify (and in such form as the Security Agent may reasonably require in favour of the Security Agent or its nominee(s))); and

  (ii)	to exercise any of the rights conferred on the Security Agent, any Receiver or any delegate in relation to (i) the Security granted pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) any Finance Document or (iii) under any law.

  (b)	The power of attorney conferred on the Security Agent and each Receiver pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall continue notwithstanding the exercise by the Security Agent or 

  26

  

   

  any Receiver of any right of appropriation pursuant to Clause 11.6 (Appropriation under the Financial Collateral Regulations).

  (c)	Each Chargor ratifies and confirms and agrees to ratify and confirm whatever any such attorney shall do in the proper exercise of the power of attorney granted by it in this Clause 16.

  17.	PROTECTION FOR THIRD PARTIES

  17.1	No obligation to enquire

  No purchaser from, or other person dealing with, the Security Agent or any Receiver (or their agents) shall be obliged or concerned to enquire:

  (a)	whether the right of the Security Agent or any Receiver to exercise any of the powers conferred by this Debenture has arisen or become exercisable or as to the propriety or validity of the proper exercise of any such power; 

  (b)	whether any consents, regulations, restrictions or directions relating to such powers have been obtained or complied with; 

  (c)	whether the Security Agent, any Receiver or its agents is acting within such powers;

  (d)	as to the propriety or validity of acts purporting or intended to be in exercise of any such powers; 

  (e)	whether any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding and/or are due and payable or be concerned with notice to the contrary and the title and position of such a purchaser or other person shall not be impeachable by reference to any of those matters; or

  (f)	as to the application of any money paid to the Security Agent, any Receiver or its agents,

  and any such person who is not a party to this Debenture may rely on this Clause 17.1 and enforce its terms under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

  17.2	Receipt conclusive

  The receipt of the Security Agent or any Receiver shall be an absolute and a conclusive discharge to a purchaser, and shall relieve him of any obligation to see to the application of any moneys paid to or by the direction of the Security Agent or any Receiver. 

  18.	REINSTATEMENT AND RELEASE

  18.1	Amounts avoided

  (a)	If any payment by a Chargor or any discharge, arrangement or release given by a Secured Party (whether in respect of the obligations of any Debtor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is avoided or reduced as a result of insolvency or any similar event:

  (i)	the liability of that Chargor and the relevant security shall continue as if the payment, discharge, release, avoidance or reduction had not occurred; and

  27

  

   

  (ii)	the relevant Secured Party shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of that security or payment from that Chargor, as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred.

  (b)	The Security Agent may concede or compromise any claim that any payment, security or other disposition is liable to avoidance or restoration.

  18.2	Discharge conditional

  Any settlement or discharge between a Chargor and any Secured Party shall be conditional upon no security or payment to that Secured Party by that Chargor or any other person being avoided, set aside, ordered to be refunded or reduced by virtue of any provision or enactment relating to insolvency and accordingly (but without limiting the other rights of that Secured Party under this Debenture) that Secured Party shall be entitled to recover from that Chargor the value which that Secured Party has placed on that security or the amount of any such payment as if that settlement or discharge had not occurred.

  18.3	Covenant to release

  (a)	Subject to paragraph (b) below, on the Final Discharge Date, the Security Agent and each Secured Party shall, at the request and cost of each Chargor:

  (i)	promptly take any and all action which the relevant Chargor reasonably requests and/or which may be necessary to release, reassign or discharge (as appropriate) the Charged Property from the Security constituted by this Debenture; and

  (ii)	promptly take all other actions and steps contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement in relation to the release of any Security contemplated by this Debenture, or any other steps, confirmations or actions in relation to this Debenture. 

  (b)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Debenture, to the extent contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement or any other Secured Debt Document (or to the extent agreed between the Security Agent and the relevant Chargors), the Security Agent and each Secured Party shall, at the request and cost of the relevant Chargor, take any and all action which is necessary to release such assets from the Security constituted by this Debenture in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. 

  18.4	Immediate recourse

  (a)	Each Chargor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from or enforcing against any Chargor under this Debenture.

  (b)	The waiver in this Clause 18.4 applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Secured Debt Document to the contrary.

  18.5	Appropriations

  Upon or after the occurrence of an Acceleration Event which is continuing and until the Final Discharge Date, each Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

  28

  

   

  (a)	refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it considers fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and no Chargor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

  (b)	hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Chargor or on account of any Chargor’s liability under this Debenture.

  18.6	Deferral of Chargors’ rights

  (a)	Until the Final Discharge Date and unless the Security Agent otherwise directs, no Chargor shall exercise any rights which it may have to:

  (i)	be indemnified by any other Chargor or Obligor or surety or Group Company of any Debtor’s or Chargor’s obligations under the Secured Debt Documents;

  (ii)	claim any contribution from any other Obligor in respect of any Debtor’s obligations under the Secured Debt Documents;

  (iii)	take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Secured Parties under the Secured Debt Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Secured Debt Documents by any Secured Party;

  (iv)	bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor or any Chargor to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which the Obligor or the Chargor had given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity;

  (v)	exercise any right of set-off against a Debtor; and/or

  (vi)	claim or prove as a creditor of any Debtor in competition with any Secured Party.

  (b)	If a Chargor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Secured Parties by the Chargors and Debtors under or in connection with the Secured Debt Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Secured Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Security Agent or as the Security Agent may direct for application in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.

  18.7	Security held by Chargors

  (a)	No Chargor shall, without the prior written consent of the Security Agent, hold or otherwise take the benefit of any Security from any other Debtor in respect of that Chargor’s liability under this Debenture.

  (b)	Each Chargor shall hold any Security and the proceeds thereof held by it in breach of this Clause 18.7 on trust for the Security Agent and shall promptly pay or transfer those proceeds to the Security Agent or as the Security Agent may direct.

  18.8	Additional security/non-merger 

  29

  

   

  The Security created pursuant to this Debenture is in addition to, independent of and not in substitution for or derogation of, and shall not be merged into or in any way be excluded or prejudiced by, any other guarantees or Security at any time held by any Secured Party in respect of or in connection with any or all of the Secured Obligations or any other amount due by any Chargor to any Secured Party.

  18.9	New accounts and ruling off

  (a)	Any Secured Party may open a new account in the name of any Chargor at any time after that Secured Party has received or is deemed to have received notice of any subsequent Security affecting any Charged Property (except as permitted by the Secured Debt Documents or where Required Creditor Consent has been obtained).

  (b)	If a Secured Party does not open a new account in the circumstances referred to in paragraph (a) above it shall nevertheless be deemed to have done so upon the occurrence of such circumstances, and all payments made by or on behalf of that Chargor to that Secured Party shall be credited or be treated as having been credited to the relevant new account.

  (c)	No moneys paid into any account (whether new or continuing) after the occurrence of the circumstances referred to in paragraph (a) above shall reduce or discharge the Secured Obligations.

  19.	CURRENCY CLAUSES

  19.1	Conversion

  All monies received or held by the Security Agent, or any Receiver, under this Debenture may be converted into any other currency which the Security Agent considers necessary to cover the obligations and liabilities comprised in the Secured Obligations in that other currency, at the Security Agent’s spot rate of exchange then prevailing for purchasing that other currency with the existing currency.

  19.2	No discharge

  No payment to the Security Agent (whether under any judgment or court order or otherwise) shall discharge the obligation or liability of the relevant Chargor in respect of which it was made unless and until the Security Agent has received payment in full in the currency in which the obligation or liability is payable or, if the currency of payment is not specified, was incurred. To the extent that the amount of any such payment shall on actual conversion into that currency fall short of that obligation or liability expressed in that currency, the Security Agent shall have a further separate cause of action against the relevant Chargor and shall be entitled to enforce the Security constituted by this Debenture to recover the amount of the shortfall.

  20.	SET-OFF

  20.1	Set-off rights

  Upon or after the occurrence of an Acceleration Event which is continuing, the Security Agent may set off any matured obligation due from a Chargor under the Secured Debt Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by the Security Agent) against any matured obligation owed by the Security Agent to that Chargor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either 

  30

  

   

  obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Security Agent may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off.

  20.2	Unliquidated claims

  If, at any time upon or after the occurrence of an Acceleration Event which is continuing, the relevant obligation or liability is unliquidated or unascertained, the Secured Party may set-off the amount which it estimates (in good faith) will be the final amount of that obligation or liability once it becomes liquidated or ascertained.

  21.	REDEMPTION OF PRIOR Security

  The Security Agent or any Receiver may, at any time upon or after the occurrence of an Acceleration Event which is continuing, redeem any prior Security on or relating to any of the Charged Property or procure the transfer of that Security to itself, and may settle and pass the accounts of any person entitled to that prior Security. Any account so settled and passed shall (subject to any manifest error) be conclusive and binding on each Chargor. Each Chargor will on demand pay to the Security Agent all principal monies and interest and all losses incidental to any such redemption or transfer.

  22.	NOTICES

  Any communication to be made under or in connection with this Debenture shall be made in accordance with clause 23 (Notices) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

  The Security Agent may at any time assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of its rights under this Debenture in accordance with the Secured Debt Documents.

  23.2	Assignment by the Chargors

  No Chargor may assign or transfer, or attempt to assign or transfer, any of its rights or obligations under this Debenture.

  (b)	irrevocably appoints the Parent as its agent for the purpose of executing any Security Accession Deed on its behalf.

  24.	MISCELLANEOUS

  24.1	Certificates conclusive

  31

  

   

  A certificate or determination of the Security Agent or any Receiver under this Debenture will be conclusive evidence of the matters to which it relates and binding on each Chargor, except in the case of manifest error.

  24.2	Counterparts

  This Debenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, and this has the same effect as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of this Debenture. Delivery of a counterpart of this Debenture by e-mail attachment or telecopy shall be an effective mode of delivery.

  24.3	Invalidity of any provision

  If any provision of this Debenture is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired in any way.

  24.4	Failure to execute

  Failure by one or more Parties (“Non-Signatories”) to execute this Debenture on the date hereof will not invalidate the provisions of this Debenture as between the other Parties who do execute this Debenture. Such Non-Signatories may execute this Debenture on a subsequent date and will thereupon become bound by its provisions.

  24.5	Amendments

  Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, any provision of this Debenture may be amended in writing by the Security Agent and the Chargors, and each Chargor irrevocably appoints the Parent as its agent for the purpose of agreeing and executing any amendment on its behalf.

  24.6	Notice of charge or assignment

  This Debenture constitutes notice in writing to each Chargor of any charge or assignment of a debt owed by that Chargor to any other Group Company and contained in any other Secured Debt Document.

  25.	GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

  (a)	This Debenture and any non-contractual claims arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.

  (b)	Subject to paragraph (c) below, the Parties agree that the courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Debenture, whether contractual or non-contractual (including a dispute regarding the existence, validity or termination of this Debenture) (a “Dispute”). The Parties agree that the courts of England are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes and accordingly no party will argue to the contrary.

  (c)	Each Chargor agrees that a judgment or order of any court referred to in this Clause 25 is conclusive and binding and may be enforced against it in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

  IN WITNESS whereof this Debenture has been duly executed as a deed on the date first above written.
