	6.	 	POWER OF SALE
	 
	6.1	 	Enforceability. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Offshore Security
Agent or its nominee may, without further notice or authority, sell or dispose of all or any
part of the Shares and may apply the proceeds of any such sale or disposition in or towards
the discharge of the costs thereby incurred and of the Secured Indebtedness in such manner as
it in its absolute discretion thinks fit.
	 
	6.2	 	Sale of Shares. The Offshore Security Agent shall be entitled to exercise such power
of sale in such manner and at such time or times and for such consideration (whether payable
immediately or by instalments) as it shall in its absolute discretion think fit (whether by
private sale, public auction or otherwise) and so that the Shares (or any relevant part
thereof) may be sold (i) subject to any conditions which the Offshore Security Agent may think
fit to impose, (ii) to any person (including any person connected with the Mortgagor, the
Borrower, the Company or any Finance Party, provided that any sale to a person connected with
any Finance Party shall be entered into in good faith at a fair market value) and (iii) at any
price which the Offshore Security Agent, in its absolute discretion, considers to be the best
obtainable in the circumstances taking into account the nature of the Company as a private
company.
	 
	6.3	 	Dividends. At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Dividends
which have been or may be received or receivable by the Offshore Security Agent or any nominee
of the Offshore Security Agent may be applied by the Offshore Security Agent as though they
were proceeds of sale hereunder and any Dividends declared or paid during the continuance of
an Event of Default which may be received or receivable by the Mortgagor shall be paid
forthwith upon receipt to the Offshore Security Agent and may be applied by the Offshore
Security Agent as though they were proceeds of sale hereunder.
	 
	6.4	 	Purchaser Not Bound to Enquire. The Offshore Security Agent is authorised to give a
good discharge for any moneys received by it pursuant to the exercise of its power of sale and
a purchaser shall not be bound to enquire whether the power of sale has arisen as herein
provided nor be concerned with the manner of application of the proceeds of sale.
	 
	6.5	 	No Liability for Losses. The Mortgagor shall not have any claim against the Offshore
Security Agent or its nominee or any other Finance Party in respect of any loss arising out of
any such sale or any postponement thereof howsoever caused and whether or not a better price
could or might have been obtained upon the sale of the Shares or any of them by deferring or
advancing the date of such sale or otherwise howsoever.
	 
	6.6	 	Waiver of Pre-emption Rights. The Mortgagor waives any right it may have under the
articles of association of the Company or otherwise to purchase the Shares or any of them in
the event that they are sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to the power of sale contained
in this Clause.

8

 

	7.	 	DIVIDENDS AND VOTING RIGHTS
	 
	7.1	 	Dividends and Voting Rights. At any time during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Offshore Security Agent shall have complete discretion to retain the Dividends
received by the Offshore Security Agent and to exercise or abstain from exercising all voting
and other rights and powers attaching to the Shares as the Offshore Security Agent in its
absolute discretion thinks fit without being liable for any losses which the Mortgagor may
suffer as a result thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, if there is not a continuing Event of
Default, the Mortgagor shall have complete discretion to retain the Dividends received by it
and to exercise or abstain from exercising all voting and other rights and powers attaching to
the Shares.
	 
	7.2	 	Authority to Sign Proxies. The Mortgagor irrevocably authorises the Offshore
Security Agent to sign on its behalf and on behalf of each person holding any of the Shares as
the nominee of the Mortgagor any proxies or other documents which the Offshore Security Agent
may require to enable the Offshore Security Agent to exercise such voting and other rights and
powers attaching to the Shares in accordance with this Deed.
	 
	8.	 	CLAIMS BY MORTGAGOR
	 
	 	 	The Mortgagor represents to and undertakes with the Offshore Security Agent that it has not
taken and will not take any security in respect of its liability under this Deed whether
from the Borrower or the Company or any other person. So long as any sum remains owing by
the Borrower to any Finance Party, the Mortgagor shall not exercise any right of
subrogation, contribution or any other rights of a surety or enforce any security or other
right or claim against the Borrower or the Company (whether in respect of its liability
under this Deed or otherwise) or any other person who has guaranteed or given any security
in respect of the Secured Indebtedness or claim in the insolvency or liquidation of the
Borrower or the Company or any such other person in competition with any Finance Party. If
the Mortgagor receives any payment or benefit in breach of this Clause, it shall hold the
same upon trust for the Offshore Security Agent as a continuing security for the Secured
Indebtedness.
	 
	9.	 	TAXES AND OTHER DEDUCTIONS
	 
	 	 	All sums payable by the Mortgagor under this Deed shall be paid in full without
set-off or counterclaim or any restriction or condition and free and clear of any tax or
other deductions or withholdings of any nature. If the Mortgagor or any other person is
required by any law or regulation to make any deduction or withholding (on account of tax
or otherwise) from any payment for the account of any Finance Party, the Mortgagor shall,
together with such payment, pay such additional amount as will ensure that such Finance
Party receives (free and clear of any tax or other deductions or withholdings) the full
amount which it would have received if no such deduction or withholding had been required.
The Mortgagor shall promptly forward to the Offshore Security Agent copies of official
receipts or other evidence showing that the full amount of any such deduction or
withholding has been paid over to the relevant taxation or other authority.

9

 

	10.	 	COSTS. CHARGES AND EXPENSES
	 
	 	 	Subject to clause 11.7 of the Facility Agreement, the Mortgagor shall from time to time
forthwith on demand pay to or reimburse each Finance Party for:

	 	(a)	 	all reasonable costs, charges and expenses (including legal and other fees on
a full indemnity basis and all other out-of-pocket expenses, provided that any travel
expenses are incurred in relation to the economy class of the relevant type of
transportation involved) incurred by any Finance Party in connection with the
preparation, execution and registration of this Deed and the Security Documents to
which any Personal Shareholder is a party and any other documents required in
connection herewith and any amendment to or extension of, or the giving of any
consent or waiver in connection with, this Deed or any Security Document to which any
Personal Shareholder is a party if the same is requested by the Mortgagor, the
Borrower or any Personal Shareholder; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	all costs, charges and expenses (including legal and other fees on a full
indemnity basis and all other out-of-pocket expenses, provided that any travel
expenses are incurred in relation to the economy class of the relevant type of
transportation involved) incurred by any Finance Party in investigating any event
which it reasonably believes is an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or
in exercising any of its or their rights or powers hereunder or under any Security
Document to which any Personal Shareholder is a party or in suing for or seeking to
recover any sums due hereunder or thereunder or otherwise preserving or enforcing its
or their rights hereunder or thereunder or in defending any claims brought against it
or them in respect of this Deed and any such Security Document or in releasing or
re-assigning this Deed and any such Security Document upon payment of all monies
hereby secured,

	 	 	and, until payment of the same in full, all such costs, charges and expenses shall be
secured by this Deed.

	11.	 	INDEMNITY
	 
	11.1	 	General Indemnity. Subject to clause 11.7 of the Facility Agreement, the Mortgagor
shall indemnify each Finance Party against all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and
expenses incurred by it in the execution or performance of the terms and conditions hereof and
against all actions, proceedings, claims, demands, costs, charges and expenses which may be
incurred, sustained or arise in respect of the non-performance or non-observance of any of the
undertakings and agreements on the part of the Mortgagor herein contained or in respect of any
matter or thing done or omitted relating in any way whatsoever to the Shares.
	 
	11.2	 	Currency Indemnity. If an amount due to any Finance Party from the Mortgagor in one
currency (the “first currency”) is received by such Finance Party in another currency (the
“second currency”), the Mortgagor’s obligations to such Finance Party in respect of such
amount shall only be discharged to the extent that such Finance

10

 

	 	 	Party may purchase the first currency with the second currency in accordance with normal
banking procedures. If the amount of the first currency which may be so purchased (after
deducting any costs of exchange and any other related costs) is less than the amount so
due, the Mortgagor shall indemnify such Finance Party against the shortfall. This
indemnity shall be an obligation of the Mortgagor independent of and in addition to its
other obligations under this Deed.

	11.3	 	Payment and Security. The Offshore Security Agent may retain and pay out of any
money in the Offshore Security Agent’s hands all sums necessary to effect the indemnity
contained in this Clause and all sums payable by the Mortgagor under this Clause shall form
part of the monies hereby secured.
	 
	12.	 	FURTHER ASSURANCE
	 
	12.1	 	Further Assurance. The Mortgagor shall at any time and from time to time (whether
before or after the security hereby created shall have become enforceable) execute such
further legal or other mortgages, charges or assignments and do all such transfers,
assurances, acts and things as the Offshore Security Agent may reasonably require over or in
respect of the Shares to secure all monies, obligations and liabilities hereby covenanted to
be paid or hereby secured or for the purposes of perfecting and completing any assignment of
the Offshore Security Agent’s rights, benefits or obligations hereunder and the Mortgagor
shall also give all notices, orders and directions which the Offshore Security Agent may
reasonably require.
	 
	12.2	 	Agreement to Execute Further Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Mortgagor agrees from time to time to execute and sign or to procure that the person for the
time being holding any of the Shares as the Mortgagor’s nominee executes and signs all
transfers, powers of attorney, proxies and other documents which the Offshore Security Agent
may reasonably require for perfecting the Offshore Security Agent’s title to any of the Shares
or for vesting or enabling it to vest the same in itself, its nominee or in any purchaser
including, without limitation, procuring to be duly passed such resolutions by the directors
of the Company and such resolutions by the Mortgagor or the person holding any of the Shares
as the Mortgagor’s nominee in an extraordinary general meeting of the Company as the Offshore
Security Agent shall reasonably require for the purposes of approving and passing for
registration any transfers of any of the Shares, altering the Company’s memorandum or articles
of association, removing any directors of the Company, appointing new directors of the Company
nominated by the Offshore Security Agent or for such other purposes as the Offshore Security
Agent shall from time to time reasonably require.
	 
	12.3	 	Enforcement of Offshore Security Agent’s Rights. The Mortgagor will do or permit to
be done everything which the Offshore Security Agent may from time to time require to be done
for the purpose of enforcing the Offshore Security Agent’s rights hereunder and will allow the
name of the Mortgagor to be used as and when required by the Offshore Security Agent for that
purpose.

11

 

	13.	 	POWER OF ATTORNEY
	 
	 	 	The Mortgagor irrevocably appoints the Offshore Security Agent by way of security to be its
attorney (with full power of substitution) and in its name or otherwise on its behalf and
as its act and deed to sign, seal, execute, deliver, perfect and do all deeds, instruments,
acts and things which may be reasonably required or which the Offshore Security Agent shall
reasonably think proper or expedient for carrying out any obligations imposed on the
Mortgagor hereunder or for exercising any of the powers hereby conferred or for giving to
the Offshore Security Agent the full benefit of this security and so that the appointment
hereby made shall operate to confer on the Offshore Security Agent authority to do on
behalf of the Mortgagor anything which it can lawfully do by an attorney. The Mortgagor
ratifies and confirms and agrees to ratify and confirm any deed, instrument, act or thing
which such attorney or substitute may execute or do.
	 
	14.	 	EVIDENCE OF DEBT
	 
	 	 	Any statement of account purporting to show an amount due from the Borrower under any
Finance Document to which it is a party or from the Mortgagor under this Deed and signed
as correct by a duly authorised officer of the Facility Agent shall, in the absence of
manifest error, be conclusive evidence of the amount so due.
	 
	15.	 	SUSPENSE ACCOUNT
	 
	15.1	 	Right to Credit Suspense Account. The Offshore Security Agent may place and keep any
monies received by virtue of this Deed (whether before or after the insolvency or liquidation
of the Mortgagor or the Borrower or the Company) to the credit of a suspense account for so
long as the Offshore Security Agent may think fit in order to preserve the rights of any
Finance Party to sue or prove for the whole amount of its claims against the Mortgagor or the
Borrower or the Company or any other person.
	 
	15.2	 	Subsequent Encumbrances. If any Finance Party receives notice of any breach of
Clauses 5(b) or 5(c), any Finance Party may open a new account for the Borrower. Whether or
not they do so they shall each be treated as if they had opened a new account at the time of
such breach (unless it or they give written notice to the contrary to the Mortgagor). As
from the time of such breach all payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower to or received
pursuant to this Deed by any Finance Party shall be credited or treated as having been
credited to the new account and shall not operate to reduce the amount due from the Borrower
or the Mortgagor or the Company to such Finance Party at the time of such breach.
	 
	16.	 	WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY
	 
	 	 	No failure or delay by the Offshore Security Agent in exercising any right, power or remedy
hereunder shall impair such right, power or remedy or operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of the same preclude any further

12

 

	 	 	exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights, powers and
remedies herein provided are cumulative and do not exclude any other rights, powers and
remedies provided by law. If at any time any provision of this Deed is or becomes illegal,
invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, the legality,
validity and enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction, and
of the remaining provisions of this Deed, shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

	17.	 	MISCELLANEOUS
	 
	17.1	 	Continuing Obligations. The liabilities and obligations of the Mortgagor under this
Deed shall remain in force notwithstanding any act, omission, event or circumstance
whatsoever, until full, proper and valid payment of the Secured Indebtedness.
	 
	17.2	 	Protective Clauses. Without limiting Clause 17.1, neither the liability of the
Mortgagor nor the validity or enforceability of this Deed shall be prejudiced, affected or
discharged by:

	 	(a)	 	any other Finance Document, Encumbrance, guarantee or other security or right
or remedy being or becoming held by or available to any Finance Party or by any of the
same being or becoming wholly or partly void, voidable, unenforceable or impaired or by
any Finance Party at any time releasing, refraining from enforcing, varying or in any
other way dealing with any of the same or any power, right or remedy any Finance Party
may now or hereafter have from or against the Mortgagor or the Borrower or the Company
or any other person or the granting of any time or indulgence to the Mortgagor or the
Borrower or the Company or any other person;
	 
	 	(b)	 	any variation or modification of any Finance Document or any other document
referred to therein;
	 
	 	(c)	 	the invalidity or unenforceability of any obligation or liability of the
Borrower or the Mortgagor or the Company under any Finance Document to which it is a
party;
	 
	 	(d)	 	the insolvency or liquidation or any incapacity, disability or limitation or
any change in the constitution or status of the Borrower or the Mortgagor or the
Company;
	 
	 	(e)	 	any invalidity or irregularity in the execution of this Deed or any of the
other Finance Documents or any deficiency in the powers of the Mortgagor or the
Borrower or the Company to enter into or perform any of its obligations hereunder or
under any of the other Finance Documents to which it is a party or any irregularity in
the exercise thereof or any lack of authority by any person purporting to act on behalf
of the Mortgagor or the Borrower or the Company;
	 
	 	(f)	 	any waiver, exercise, omission to exercise, compromise, renewal or release of

13

 

	 	 	 	any rights against the Mortgagor or the Borrower or the Company or any other person
or any compromise, arrangement or settlement with any of the same;

	 	(g)	 	any act, omission, event or circumstance which would or may but for this
provision operate to prejudice, affect or discharge this Deed or the liability of the
Mortgagor or the Borrower or the Company hereunder.

	17.3	 	Unrestricted Right of Enforcement. This Deed may be enforced without the Finance
Parties first having recourse to any other security or rights or taking any other steps or
proceedings against the Borrower or the Mortgagor or the Company or any other person or may be
enforced for any balance due after resorting to any one or more other means of obtaining
payment or discharge of the monies, obligations and liabilities hereby secured.
	 
	17.4	 	Discharges and Releases. Notwithstanding any discharge, release or settlement from
time to time between any Finance Party and the Mortgagor, if any security, disposition or
payment granted or made to any Finance Party in respect of the Secured Indebtedness by the
Mortgagor or the Borrower or the Company or any other person is avoided or set aside or
ordered to be surrendered, paid away, refunded or reduced by virtue of any provision, law
or enactment relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, winding-up, composition or
arrangement for the time being in force or for any other reason, the Offshore Security Agent
shall be entitled hereafter to enforce this Deed as if no such discharge, release or
settlement had occurred.
	 
	17.5	 	Finance Parties’ Rights Several. The rights of the Finance Parties under this Deed
are several and accordingly:

	 	(a)	 	the amount at any time due hereunder to each Finance Party shall be a separate
and independent debt and each Finance Party shall be entitled to protect and enforce
its rights arising out of this Deed; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	the failure of any Finance Party to perform its obligations under the Facility
Agreement or under this Deed shall not affect the rights of the other Finance Parties
under this Deed.

	17.6	 	Pro Rata Sharing. The Mortgagor acknowledges that, if at any time any Finance Party
receives any amount from the Mortgagor, the Borrower or the Company or any other person in
respect of sums due from the Borrower or the Mortgagor or the Company under the Facility
Agreement or any Finance Document (other than through the Facility Agent pursuant to the
Facility Agreement) whether by way of voluntary or involuntary payment, set-off or otherwise,
it will promptly pay to the Facility Agent the amount so received for distribution to the
Finance Parties in accordance with the Facility Agreement. The Facility Agent shall treat
such amount as if it were a payment directly to the Facility Agent on account of sums due from
the Borrower or the Mortgagor or the Company under the Facility Agreement or any Finance
Document so that, as between the Mortgagor and the Finance Party who originally received the
amount, the amount shall not be treated as having been paid and such Finance Party shall
retain all its rights against the Mortgagor or the Borrower or the Company otherwise with
respect to such amount (except to the extent of any sum

14

 

	 	 	received by it from such distribution by the Facility Agent). Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Clause,

	 	(a)	 	in respect of any amount received by any Finance Party arising from any legal
proceeding brought against the Mortgagor, the Borrower, the Company or any other person
for recovering any amount due and payable to such Finance Party under the Facility
Agreement and any Finance Document, such Finance Party is not obliged to share such
received amount with any other Finance Party who has the legal right to participate in
such legal proceeding but has not participated after obtaining a reasonable opportunity
to so participate, and has not on its own behalf commenced (and use its best endeavours
to proceed with) any enforcement of its rights against the Mortgagor, the Borrower, the
Company or any other person; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	if any Finance Party is obliged to refund the Mortgagor, the Borrower, the
Company or any other person any part of the amount received from the Mortgagor, the
Borrower, the Company or such other person and shared according to this Clause, each
other Finance Party shall provide the Facility Agent such funds which such Finance
Party is obliged to refund (after deducting (the appropriate portion of) such amount
distributed to and received by such Finance Party by the Facility Agent).

	17.7	 	Amendment. Any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Deed and any waiver of
any default under this Deed shall only be effective if made in writing and signed by the
Offshore Security Agent and (in relation to any amendment of any provision of this Deed) the
Mortgagor.
	 
	17.8	 	Counterparts.

	 	(a)	 	This Deed (i) 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
Deed; and (ii) the executed signature pages of each party to this Deed may be collated
into and attached to any number of single copies of this Deed, pursuant to paragraph
(b) below, as if each of them had been executed by both parties in a single copy, and
this has the same effect as if the Deed had been executed in the relevant number of
single copies.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If the parties to this Deed choose to execute the same in accordance with
paragraph (a)(ii) above, each party will transmit its signed signature page(s) either
to (i) Baker & McKenzie (or such other person authorised by each party to this Deed)
or (ii) the Offshore Security Agent (or such other person authorised by the Offshore
Security Agent) (each person referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above a
“Recipient”), and the Recipient shall be and shall be deemed to be authorised by each
such party, upon receipt of the executed signature pages of each party to this Deed,
to collate and attach them into single copies of the Deed (with one executed signature
page of each party being collated into and attached to one such single copy). For the
avoidance of doubt, the Recipient shall have no further duties connected with its
position as Recipient.

15

 

	17.9	 	Recovery of Costs. The parties to this Deed agree to and to be bound by the
provisions of clause 11.7 of the Facility Agreement and that such provisions shall be
deemed to be incorporated into this Deed as if they were set out in full in this Deed,
mutatis mutandis. Accordingly, to the extent that any Finance Party is entitled to make a
demand for payment against the Mortgagor in accordance with clause 11.7 of the Facility
Agreement, the Mortgagor shall upon such demand make the relevant payment accordingly.
	 
	18.	 	ASSIGNMENT
	 
	18.1	 	The Mortgagor. The Mortgagor shall not assign any of its rights hereunder.
	 
	18.2	 	The Offshore Security Agent and Finance Parties. Any of the Offshore Security Agent
and the other Finance Parties may assign or grant participations in all or any part of their
rights under this Deed and make disclosures in accordance with the provisions of clause 22 of
the Facility Agreement but as if references therein to the Borrower were references to the
Mortgagor.

whether concurrently or not.
