Grossing Up

Each payment made by the Guarantor to the Collateral Agent under this Deed shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of Tax unless the Guarantor is required to make such payment subject to the deduction or withholding of Tax, in which case the sum payable by the Guarantor in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of the required deduction or withholding, the Collateral Agent receives and retains (free from any liability in respect of any such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received and so retained had no such deduction or withholding been made or required to be made.

(b)

	
that Collateral Agent has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit,

the Collateral Agent shall pay an amount to the Chargor which the Collateral Agent reasonably determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the increased Tax payment under Clause 16.1 not been made by the Chargor, provided that any costs of such determination reasonably incurred by the Collateral Agent shall be borne by the Chargor.

3.5

	
Assets acquired after crystallisation

Currency Indemnity

If any sum due from the Company under this Deed or any order or judgment given or made in relation to this Deed has to be converted from the currency (the "first currency") in which the same is payable under this Deed or under such order or judgment into another currency (the "second currency") for the purpose of (a) making or filing a claim or proof against the Company, (b) obtaining an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal or (c) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation to this Deed, each Collateral Agent shall indemnify and hold harmless each Secured Party from and against any loss it suffers or incurs as a result of any discrepancy between (i) the rate of exchange used for such purpose to convert the sum in question from the first currency into the second currency; and (ii) the rate or rates of exchange at which such Secured Party may in the ordinary course of business purchase the first currency with the second currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof.

	
24.

	
PARTIAL INVALIDITY

If, at any time, any provision of this Deed is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of that provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.

	
25.

	
REMEDIES AND WAIVERS

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent, any remedy or other right under this Deed shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any remedy or other right prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right.  The remedies and other rights provided in this Deed are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies and other rights provided by law.

	
26.
