10.1          Enforceability powers

For the purpose of all rights and powers implied or granted by section 101 of the Law of Property Act 1925, the Secured Obligations are deemed to have fallen due on the date of this Deed. The power of sale and other powers conferred by section 101 of the Law of Property Act 1925 and all other enforcement powers conferred by this Deed shall be immediately exercisable at any time after an Enforcement Event has occurred.

10.2          Statutory powers

The powers conferred on mortgagees, receivers or administrative receivers by the Law of Property Act 1925 and the Insolvency Act 1986 (as the case may be) shall apply to this Security, unless they are expressly or impliedly excluded. If there is ambiguity or conflict between the powers contained in those Acts and those contained in this Deed, those contained in this Deed shall prevail.

10.3          Exercise of Powers

All or any of the powers conferred upon mortgagees by the Law of Property Act 1925 as varied or extended by this Deed, and all or any of the rights and powers conferred by this Deed on a Receiver (whether expressly or impliedly), may be exercised by the Chargee without further notice to the Chargor at any time after an Enforcement Event has occurred, irrespective of whether the Chargee has taken possession or appointed a Receiver of the Charged Property.

10.4          Disapplication of Statutory Restrictions

The restriction on the consolidation of mortgages and on power of sale imposed by sections 93 and 103 respectively of the Law of Property Act 1925 shall not apply to the security constituted by this Deed.

10.5          Appropriation under the Financial Collateral Regulations

(a)

To the extent that any of the Charged Property constitutes Financial Collateral and this Deed and the obligations of the Chargor hereunder constitute "security financial collateral arrangement" (in each case as defined in, and for the purposes of, the Financial Collateral Regulations), the Chargee shall have the right to appropriate all or any part of such financial collateral in or towards discharge of the Secured Obligations and may exercise that right to appropriate by giving notice to the Chargor at any time after an Enforcement Event has occurred.

(b)

The Parties agree that the value of any such appropriated Financial Collateral shall be:

(i)

in the case of cash, its face value at the time of appropriation; and

(ii)

in the case of financial instruments or other Financial Collateral, the amount as determined by the Chargee as the Chargee's estimate (acting in a commercially reasonable manner) of the net proceeds that would be realised on a sale of such financial instruments or other Financial Collateral and (in respect of Financial Collateral that comprises publicly traded securities) taking into account such considerations as the Chargee, acting reasonably, deems appropriate at the time, which may include, without limitation, the following factors:

(A)

the current market price of that Financial Collateral as quoted on any public index, exchange or regulated market on which those securities are listed or admitted to trading;

(B)

the market liquidity of those securities;

(C)

the availability of alternative markets for, and price achievable or realisable from the sale in any such alternative market of, that Financial Collateral, in each case that the Chargee is aware of;

(D)

any adjustment to the price of that Financial Collateral that may be required if that Financial Collateral were to be sold in a block trade, accelerated book build or otherwise off-exchange; and

(E)

the number of relevant securities and the proportion that they bear to the total aggregate amount of such securities then in issuance,

as converted, where necessary, into the currency in which the Secured Obligations are denominated at a market rate of exchange prevailing at the time of appropriation selected by the Chargee. The Parties agree that the methods of valuation set out in this paragraph (b) are commercially reasonable for the purpose of the Financial Collateral Regulations.

In addition, notwithstanding any liquidation of the Chargor, each Receiver shall have the power to:

(a)

exercise all voting and other rights attaching to the Collateral Shares owned by the Chargor and comprised in the Charged Property, but only following a written notification from either the Receiver or the Chargee to the Chargor stating that the Chargee shall exercise all voting rights in respect of the Collateral Shares owned by the Chargor and comprised in the Charged Property;

(b)

redeem any prior Security on or relating to the Charged Property and settle and pass the accounts of the person entitled to that prior Security, so that any accounts so settled and passed shall (subject to any manifest error) be conclusive and binding on the Chargor and the money so paid shall be deemed to be an expense properly incurred by the Receiver;

(c)

settle any claims, accounts, disputes, questions and demands with or by any person who is or claims to be a creditor of the Chargor or relating to any of the Charged Property; and

(d)

do all other acts and things (including signing and executing all documents and deeds) as the Receiver considers to be incidental or conducive to any of the matters or powers in this Clause 12.1, or otherwise incidental or conducive to the preservation, improvement or realisation of the Charged Property, and use the name of the Chargor for all such purposes,

and in each case may use the name of the Chargor and exercise the relevant power in any manner which he may think fit.

12.2         Receiver as agent

Each Receiver shall be the agent of the Chargor, which shall be solely responsible for his acts or defaults, and for his remuneration and expenses, and be liable on any agreements or engagements made or entered into by him. The Chargee will not be responsible for any misconduct, negligence or default of a Receiver.

12.3         Remuneration

The Chargee may from time to time fix the remuneration of any Receiver appointed by it.

13.           APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS

13.2         Section 109 Law of Property Act 1925

Until the Secured Obligations are paid in full, the Chargee or the Receiver (as appropriate) may place and keep (for such time as it shall determine) any money received, recovered or realized pursuant to this Deed or on account of the Chargor's liability in respect of the Secured Obligations in a separate suspense account (to the credit of either the Chargor or the Chargee or the Receiver as the Chargee or the Receiver shall think fit) pending application by the Chargee from time to time as the Chargee considers expedient in or towards discharge of the Secured Obligations.

(b)

Clause 13.1 (Order of Application) shall not, in any way, limit the rights of the Chargee under this Clause 13.3.

14.            PROTECTION OF CHARGEE AND RECEIVER

14.1          No Liability

Neither the Chargee nor any Receiver shall be liable in respect of any of the Charged Property or for any loss or damage which arises out of the exercise or the attempted or purported exercise of, or the failure to exercise any of, their respective powers, unless caused by its or his gross negligence, wilful default under the Transaction Documents.

14.2          Possession of Charged Property

Without prejudice to Clause 14.1 (No Liability) above, if the Chargee or the Receiver enters into possession of the Charged Property, it will not be liable to account as mortgagee in possession and may at any time at its discretion go out of such possession.

14.3          Primary liability of Chargor

The Chargor shall be deemed to be the 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.

14.4          Waiver of defences

The obligations of the Chargor under this Deed will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this this Deed, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this this Deed (without limitation and whether or not known to it or the Chargee) including:

(a)

any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any person;

(b)

the release of any person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor;

(c)

the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, the Chargor or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

(d)

any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of any person;

(e)

any amendment, novation, supplement, extension restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of a Transaction Document or any other document or security including, without limitation, any change in the purpose of, any extension of or increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Transaction Document or other document or security;

(f)

any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Transaction Document or any other document or security; or

(g)

any insolvency or similar proceedings.

14.5          Delegation

The Chargee may delegate by power of attorney or in any other manner all or any of the powers, authorities and discretions which are for the time being exercisable by it under this Deed to any person or persons upon such terms and conditions (including the power to sub-delegate) as it may think fit. The Chargee will not be liable or responsible to the Chargor or any other person for any losses arising from any act, default, omission or misconduct on the part of any delegate.

14.6          Cumulative Powers

The powers which this Deed confers on the Chargee and any Receiver appointed under this Deed 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 Chargee 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 Chargee and the Receiver will in no circumstances be suspended, waived or otherwise prejudiced by anything other than an express consent or amendment.

15.            PROTECTION OF THIRD PARTIES

15.1          No Obligation to Enquire

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

(a)

the right of the Chargee or any Receiver to exercise any of the powers conferred by this Deed has arisen or become exercisable or as to the propriety or validity of the exercise or purported exercise of any such power; or

(b)

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.

15.2          Receipt Conclusive

The receipt of the Chargee or any Receiver shall be an absolute and a conclusive discharge to a purchaser.

16.            CONTINUATION AND PRESERVATION OF SECURITY

16.1          Continuation of accounts

In the event of the commencement of the winding-up of the Chargor or of this Deed ceasing for any reason to be binding on the Chargor or if the Chargee receives, or is deemed to be affected by, notice, whether actual or constructive, of any subsequent or other Security or other like interest, matter, event or transaction affecting the Charged Property or any part thereof, the Chargee may at any time open a new account or accounts for the Chargor in its books. If the Chargee does not in fact open such new account then, unless it gives express notice in writing to the Chargor to the contrary, it shall nevertheless be treated as if it had in fact opened such account or accounts at the time when it received or was deemed to have received such notice. As from that time and unless such express notice in writing shall be given to the Chargor by the Chargee, all payments by or on behalf of the Chargor to the Chargee will be credited or be treated as having been credited to a new account of the Chargor and not as having been applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations at the time when such notice was received or deemed to have been received.

16.2          Immediate recourse

The Chargor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Chargee or any Receiver or Delegate (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security in respect of the Secured Obligations or claim payment from any person before enforcing this Security. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or provision of the Transaction Documents to the contrary.

16.3          Continuing Security

This Security shall remain in full force and effect as a continuing security for the Secured Obligations unless and until discharged by the Chargee and shall extend to the ultimate balance of the Secured Obligations notwithstanding any interim or intermediate payment, discharge, settlement of account, reduction or repayment of the Secured Obligations or any other matter or thing whatsoever.

16.4          Cumulative Security

This Security shall be cumulative, in addition to and independent of every other security which the Chargee may at any time hold in respect of the Secured Obligations or any other obligations or any rights, powers and remedies provided by law. This Security shall not merge with or be in any way prejudiced or affected by any of the other Transaction Documents or any other Security held by the Chargee (acting in any capacity) over the whole or any part of the Charged Property, nor shall any of the other Transaction Documents, any such Security or the liability of either Chargor or any other person for all or any part of the Secured Obligations be in any way prejudiced or affected by this Deed.

17.           POWER OF ATTORNEY

The Chargor, by way of security, irrevocably and severally appoints the Chargee, each Receiver and any person nominated for the purpose by the Chargee or any Receiver (in writing and signed by an officer of the Chargee 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 to execute, seal and deliver (using the company seal where appropriate) and otherwise perfect and do any deed, assurance, agreement, instrument, act or thing which it ought to execute and do under the terms of this Deed, or which may be required or deemed proper in the exercise of any rights or powers conferred on the Chargee or any Receiver under this Deed or otherwise for any of the purposes of this Deed, and the Chargor covenants with the Chargee and each Receiver to ratify and confirm all such acts or things made, done or executed by that attorney.

18.           AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS AND REMEDIES

18.1          Amendments

Any term of this Deed may be amended only with the prior consent of the Parties, and any term of this Deed may be waived only with the prior consent of the Chargee. Any such amendment or waiver must be in writing and will be binding on both Parties.

18.2          Waivers

No failure or delay by the Chargee in exercising any right or remedy under this Deed shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or any partial exercise or waiver of any right or remedy preclude its further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Deed are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

19.           REINSTATEMENT AND RELEASE

19.1          Amounts Avoided

If any amount paid by the Chargor in respect of the Secured Obligations is capable of being avoided or set aside on the liquidation or administration of the Chargor or otherwise, then for the purposes of this Deed that amount shall not be considered to have been paid. No interest shall accrue on any such amount, unless and until such amount is so avoided or set aside.

19.2          Discharge Conditional

Any settlement or discharge between the Chargor and Chargee shall be conditional upon no security or payment to the Chargee by the 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 the Chargee under this Deed) the Chargee shall be entitled to recover from the Chargor the value which the Chargee has placed on that security or the amount of any such payment as if that settlement or discharge had not occurred.

19.3          Covenant to Release

Once all the Secured Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the Chargee does not have any actual or contingent liability to advance further moneys to, or incur liability on behalf of, the Chargor, the Chargee shall, at the request and cost of the Chargor, execute any documents (or procure that its nominees execute any documents) or take any action which may be necessary to release the Charged Property from the Security constituted by this Deed.

20.           CURRENCY

20.1          Conversion

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

20.2          No discharge

No payment to the Chargee (whether under any judgment or court order or otherwise) shall discharge the obligation or liability of the Chargor in respect of which it was made unless and until the Chargee 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 Chargee shall have a further separate cause of action against the Chargor and shall be entitled to enforce the Security constituted by this Deed to recover the amount of the shortfall.

21.           THIRD PARTY RIGHTS

Save for any Receiver or Delegate or any attorney or nominee of the Chargee, any Receiver or any Delegate and any person appointed by any of them in accordance with the provisions of this Deed and except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Deed, a person who is not a Party has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce or enjoy the benefit of any term of this Deed. Notwithstanding any term of this Deed, the consent of any third party is not required for any variation (including any release or compromise of any liability under) or termination of this Deed.

22.           NO SET-OFF BY CHARGOR

The Chargor will pay all amounts payable under this Deed without any set-off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever unless required by law, in which event the Chargor will pay an additional amount to ensure that the payment recipient receives the amount which would have been payable had no deduction been required to be made.

23.           RULING OFF

If the Chargee receives notice of any subsequent Security or other interest affecting any of the Charged Property, it may open a new account for the Chargor in its books. If it does not do so then (unless it gives express notice to the contrary to the Chargor), as from the time it receives that notice, all payments made by the Chargor to it (in the absence of any express appropriation to the contrary) shall be treated as having been credited to a new account of the Chargor and not as having been applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations.

24.           REDEMPTION OF PRIOR CHARGES

The Chargee may, at any time after an Enforcement Event has occurred, 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 the Chargor. The Chargor will on demand pay to the Chargee all principal moneys and interest and all losses incidental to any such redemption or transfer.
