	8.1	 	Time for Enforcement
	 
	 	 	On and at any time after the occurrence of a Relevant Event (which is continuing) or
if a petition or application is presented for the making of an administration order in
relation to the Chargor or if any person gives written notice of its intention to
appoint an administrator of the Chargor or files such a notice with the court, the
security created by or pursuant to this Charge is immediately enforceable and the
Secured Party may, without notice to the Chargor or prior authorisation from any
court, in its absolute discretion:

	 	(a)	 	secure and perfect their title to all or any part of the Charged
Portfolio (including transferring the Charged Portfolio into the name of the Secured
Party or such parties’ nominees);
	 
	 	(b)	 	enforce all or any part of the Security (at the times, in the manner
and on the terms they think fit) and take possession of and hold, sell, or otherwise
dispose of all or any part of the Charged Portfolio (at the time, in the manner and on
the terms they think fit); and
	 
	 	(c)	 	whether or not the Secured Party have appointed a Receiver, exercise
all or any of the powers, authorisations and discretions conferred by any applicable
law in the Cayman Islands (as varied or extended by this Charge) on chargees and by
this Charge on any Receiver or otherwise conferred by law on chargees or Receivers.

	8.2	 	Secured Party liability

	 	(a)	 	Neither the Secured Party nor any Receiver will be liable to account as mortgagee
or mortgagee in possession in respect of the Charged Portfolio or be liable for any
loss upon realisation or for any neglect or default of any nature whatsoever in
connection with the Charged Portfolio for which a mortgagee or mortgagee in possession
might as such be liable.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Neither the Secured Party nor any Receiver will be obliged to make any enquiry as
to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it under this Charge or to
make any claim or to take any action to collect any monies assigned by this Charge or
to enforce any rights or benefits assigned to the Secured Party by this Charge or to
which the Secured Party may at any time be entitled hereunder.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Neither the Secured Party nor their respective agents, managers, officers,
employees, delegates or advisors will be liable for any claim, demand, liability,
loss, damage, consequential damage, cost or expense incurred or arising in connection
with the exercise or purported exercise of any rights, powers and discretions
hereunder.

	8.3	 	Statutory powers
	 
	 	 	The powers conferred by this Charge on the Secured Party are in addition to and not in
substitution for the powers conferred on mortgagees and mortgagees in possession by
law and in the case of any conflict between the powers contained in any such law and
those conferred by this Charge the terms of this Charge will prevail.

	 	(a)	 	entitled to act individually or together with any other person
appointed or substituted as Receiver;
	 
	 	(b)	 	for all purposes deemed to be the agent of the Chargor which shall be
solely responsible for his acts, defaults and liabilities and for the payment of his
remuneration and no Receiver shall at any time act as agent for the Secured Party; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	entitled to remuneration for his services at a rate to be fixed by the
Secured Party from time to time.

	9.3	 	Powers of Receivers
	 
	 	 	In addition to the powers conferred by Clause 9.1, each Receiver shall (subject to any
restrictions in the instrument appointing him but notwithstanding any winding-up or
dissolution of the Chargor) have and be entitled to exercise, in relation to the
Charged Portfolio in respect of which he was appointed, and as varied and extended by
the provisions of this Charge (in the name of or on behalf of the Chargor or in his

	 	(a)	 	all the powers conferred on a receiver by any applicable law;
	 
	 	(b)	 	all the powers and rights of an absolute owner and power to do or omit

	 	(c)	 	the power to delegate (either generally or specifically) the powers,
authorities and discretions conferred on it by this Charge (including the power of
attorney) on such terms and conditions as it shall see fit which delegation shall not

of such power, authority or discretion by the Receiver itself; and

13

 

Page 14

	 	(d)	 	the power to do all things (including bringing or defending
proceedings in the name or on behalf of the Chargor) which seem to the Receiver to be
incidental or conducive to:

	 	(i)	 	any of the functions, powers, authorities or discretions
conferred on or vested in him;

Secured Party provided by or pursuant to this Charge or by law (including
realisation of all or any part of the Charged Portfolio); or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	bringing to his hands any assets of the Chargor forming
part of, or which when got in would be, Charged Portfolio.

	9.4	 	Consideration
	 
	 	 	The receipt of the Secured Party or any Receiver shall be a conclusive discharge to a

making any acquisition, the Secured Party or any Receiver may do so for such
consideration, in such manner and on such terms as it thinks fit.
	 
	9.5	 	Protection of purchasers
	 
	 	 	No purchaser or other person dealing with the Secured Party or any Receiver shall be
bound to inquire whether the right of the Secured Party or such Receiver to exercise
any of its powers has arisen or become exercisable or be concerned with any propriety
or regularity on the part of the Secured Party or such Receiver in such dealings.
	 
	10.	 	EFFECTIVENESS OF COLLATERAL
	 
	10.1	 	Collateral Cumulative
	 
	 	 	The collateral constituted by this Charge and the Collateral Rights shall be
cumulative, in addition to and independent of every other security which Secured Party
may at any time hold for the Secured Obligations or any rights, powers and remedies
provided by law. No prior security held by the Secured Party over the whole or any
part of the Charged Portfolio shall merge into the collateral constituted by this
Charge.
	 
	10.2	 	No Waiver
	 
	 	 	No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any of the Secured
Party, any right, power or remedy of any of the Secured Party provided by this Charge
or by law shall impair such right, power or remedy, or operate as a waiver, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of that right, power or remedy prevent any further or
other exercise of that or any other right, power or remedy of any of the Secured Party
provided by this Charge or by law. The rights, powers and remedies herein provided
are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers and remedies provided by law
and may be exercised from time to time and as often as the Secured Party may deem
expedient. Any waiver by the Secured Party of any terms of this Charge shall only be
effective if given in writing and then only for the purpose and upon the terms for
which it is given.
	 
	10.3	 	Illegality, Invalidity, Unenforceability
	 
	 	 	If, at any time, any provision of this Charge is or becomes illegal, invalid or
unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality,
validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Charge nor the
legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other
jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.

14

 

Page 15

	10.4	 	No liability
	 
	 	 	None of the Secured Party, the Secured Party’s nominee(s) or any Receiver appointed
pursuant to this Charge shall be liable by reason of (a) taking any action permitted

or (c) the taking possession or realisation of all or any part of the Charged
Portfolio, except in the case of gross negligence or wilful default upon its part.
	 
	10.5	 	Implied Covenants for Title
	 
	 	 	It shall be implied in respect of Clause 2.2 (Charge) that the Chargor is charging the
Charged Portfolio free from all charges and encumbrances (whether monetary or not) and
from all other rights exercisable by third parties (including liabilities imposed and
rights conferred by or under any enactment).
	 
	10.6	 	Continuing security

will be considered satisfied or discharged by any intermediate payment, discharge or
satisfaction of the whole or any part of the Secured Obligations.

	 	 	The Chargor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Secured Party to
proceed against or enforce any other rights or Security or claim payment from any
person before claiming from the Chargor under this Charge. This waiver applies
irrespective of any law or any provision of this Charge to the contrary.
	 
	10.8	 	Avoidance of Payments
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding Clause 3.3 (Release) if the Secured Party consider that any amount
paid or credited to it is capable of being avoided or reduced by virtue of any
bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar laws the liability of the Chargor under
this Charge and the security constituted by this Charge shall continue and that amount
shall not be considered to have been irrevocably paid.
	 
	10.9	 	Waiver of defences
	 
	 	 	The obligations of the Chargor under this Charge and this Security will not be
affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 10.9 (Waiver
of defences), would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations, or might
operate to impair, affect or discharge the rights and security of the Secured Party,
in whole or in part, under this Charge and this Security and whether or not known to
the Company, the Chargor, the Secured Party or any other person including:

	 	(a)	 	any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, the
Chargor or other person;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the release of the Chargor or any other person under the terms of any
composition or arrangement with any creditor of the Chargor;
	 
	 	(c)	 	the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or

over assets of, the Chargor or other person or any non-presentment or non-observance
of

15

 

Page 16

	 	 	 	any formality or other requirement in respect of any instruments or any
failure to realise the full value of any other security;
	 
	 	(d)	 	any incapacity or lack of powers, authority or legal personality of or
dissolution or change in the members or status of, the Chargor or any other person;
	 
	 	(e)	 	any amendment (however fundamental) or replacement of any document or
security;
	 
	 	(f)	 	any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of

the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred by the Secured
Party in connection with the exercise, enforcement or preservation of any rights,
powers and remedies under this Charge, the enforcement of the Security created

	11.2	 	Indemnity
	 
	 	 	The Chargor shall, notwithstanding any release or discharge of all or any part of the
security, indemnify the Secured Party, their respective attorneys and any Receiver

sustain as a consequence of any breach by the Chargor of the provisions of this
Charge, the exercise or purported exercise of any of the rights and powers conferred
on them by this Charge or otherwise relating to the Charged Portfolio.
	 
	11.3	 	Currency
	 
	 	 	If, under any applicable law or regulation, and whether pursuant to a judgment being
made or registered against the Chargor or the bankruptcy or liquidation of the Chargor
or for any other reason any payment under or in connection with this Charge is made or
falls to be satisfied in a currency (the “Payment Currency”) other than the currency
in which such payment is due under or in connection with this Charge (the “Contractual
Currency”), then to the extent that the amount of such payment actually received by
the Secured Party when converted into the Contractual Currency at the rate of
exchange, falls short of the amount due under or in connection with this Charge, the
Chargor, as a separate and independent obligation, shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Secured Party against the amount of such shortfall. For the purposes of this
clause, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Secured Party is able on or
about the date of such payment to purchase the Contractual Currency with the Payment
Currency and shall take into account any premium and other costs of exchange with
respect thereto.

	 	 	incurred and payments made by the Receiver, the payment of his remuneration and

Secured Obligations.
