held by the Borrower and to give consents, ratifications and waivers in respect thereof, to the same extent as the Borrower would if such Pledged Collateral were not pledged to the Lender pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would violate any provision of this Agreement, the Facility Agreement or any other Finance Document or result in the occurrence of an Event of Default. If applicable, the Borrower shall be deemed the beneficial owner of all such Pledged Collateral for purposes of Sections 13 and 16 of the Exchange Act and agrees to file all reports required to be filed by beneficial owners of securities thereunder. The Lender shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Borrower all such proxies and other instruments as the Borrower may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Borrower to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this subsection (b) and to receive the distributions which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to this subsection (b).
(c) Certain Other Administrative Matters. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender may cause any of the Pledged Collateral to be transferred into its name or into the name of its nominee or nominees (subject to the revocable rights specified in subsection (a)). During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender shall have the right to cause the Borrower to use its best efforts to exchange and deliver to the Lender or its designee uncertificated Pledged Collateral for certificated Pledged Collateral, and to exchange and deliver to the Lender or its designee certificated Pledged Collateral for certificates of larger or smaller denominations, for any purpose consistent with this Agreement.
(d) Appointment of Lender as Attorney-in-Fact. For the purpose of enabling the Lender to exercise its rights under this Section 6 or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, the Borrower hereby (i) constitutes and appoints the Lender (and any of the Lenders officers, employees or agents designated by the Lender) its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority to execute any notice, assignment, endorsement or other instrument or document, and to do any and all acts and things for and on behalf of the Borrower (including voting the Pledged Collateral and giving consents, notifications and waivers in respect thereof), which the Lender may deem necessary or desirable to protect, collect, realize upon and preserve the Pledged Collateral, to enforce the Lenders rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral and to accomplish the purposes hereof, and (ii) appoints the Lender as its proxyholder with respect to the Pledged Collateral (including any Converted Securities) to attend and vote at any and all meetings of the shareholders of the Target held on or after the date of this proxy and prior to the termination hereof, with full power of substitution to do so and agrees, if so requested, to execute or cause to be executed appropriate proxies therefor; provided, however, that the Lender shall not exercise the forgoing rights set forth in this subsection (d) except while an Event of Default is continuing. Each such appointment is coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as the Lenders have any Commitments or the Secured Obligations have not been paid and performed in full.
SECTION 7 Lender Performance of Borrower Obligations. The Lender may perform or pay any obligation which the Borrower has agreed to perform or pay, and if it has failed to do so, under or in connection with this Agreement, and the Borrower shall reimburse the Lender on demand for any amounts paid by the Lender pursuant to this Section 7.
SECTION 8 Lenders Duties. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement, the Lender shall have no duty to exercise any of the rights, privileges or powers afforded to it and shall not be responsible to the Borrower or any other person for any failure to do so or delay in doing so. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Pledged Collateral while held hereunder and the accounting for moneys actually received by the Lender hereunder, the Lender shall have no duty or liability to exercise or preserve any rights, privileges or powers pertaining to the Pledged Collateral.
SECTION 9 Remedies.
(a) Remedies. Upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default, the Lender shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement, the Facility Agreement or any other Finance Document, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and other applicable laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower agrees that any item of the Pledged Collateral may be sold for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, in any number of lots at the same or different times, at any exchange, brokers board or elsewhere, by public or private sale, and at such times and on such terms, as the Lender shall determine; provided, however, that the Borrower shall be credited with the net proceeds of sale only when such proceeds are finally collected by the Lender. The Lender shall give the Borrower such notice of any private or public sales as may be required by the UCC or other applicable law. The Borrower recognizes that the Lender may be unable to make a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Collateral, by reason of prohibitions contained in applicable securities laws or otherwise, and expressly agrees that a private sale to a restricted group of purchasers for investment and not with a view to any distribution thereof shall be considered a commercially reasonable sale. The Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which right or equity of redemption the Borrower hereby releases to the extent permitted by law.
(b) Application of Proceeds. The cash proceeds actually received from the sale or other disposition or collection of Pledged Collateral, and any other amounts of the Pledged Collateral (including any cash contained in the Pledged Collateral) the application of which is not otherwise provided for herein, shall be applied to payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations as provided in the Facility Agreement. Any surplus thereof which exists after payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations shall be promptly paid over to the Borrower or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the UCC or other applicable law. The Borrower shall remain liable to the Lender for any deficiency which exists after any sale or other disposition or collection of Pledged Collateral.
SECTION 10 Registration Rights.
(a) Registration of Pledged Collateral. If the Lender shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 9, and if the Lender shall determine in connection therewith that it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Collateral, or any portion thereof, to be sold or registered under the provisions of any federal, state or other applicable securities laws, the Lender shall be entitled to request that the Borrower cause any
registration and qualification to be effected under any federal, state or other applicable securities laws with respect to such Pledged Collateral. Upon such request, the Borrower shall as soon as practicable use its best efforts to cause such registration and qualification to be effected (and be kept effective) as may be so requested, as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of such Pledged Collateral, including registration under the Securities Act (or any similar statute), appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state or other securities laws and appropriate compliance with any other requirements of any governmental authorities. The Borrower shall cause the Lender to be kept reasonably advised in writing as to the progress of each such registration, qualification or compliance and as to the completion thereof, and shall furnish to the Lender such number of prospectuses, offering circulars and other documents incident thereto as the Lender from time to time may reasonably request.
(b) No Obligation to Delay Private Sale. The Lender shall be under no obligation to delay a private sale of any of the Pledged Collateral (as contemplated by subsection (a)) for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such Pledged Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.
(c) Further Acts. The Borrower further agrees to do or to use its best efforts to cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make any sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws (including the Exchange Act), regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales.
(d) Equitable Relief. The Borrower acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 10 will cause irreparable injury to the Lender, that the Lender has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Section 10 shall be specifically enforceable against the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the provisions of the Facility Agreement.
(e) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall bear all costs and expenses of carrying out its obligations under this Section 10.
SECTION 11 Certain Waivers.
(a) The Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) any right of redemption with respect to the Pledged Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling of the Pledged Collateral or other collateral or security for the Secured Obligations; (ii) any right to require the Lender (A) to proceed against any person, (B) to exhaust any other collateral or security for any of the Secured Obligations, (C) to pursue any remedy in the Lenders power, or (D) to make or give any presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protests or notices of dishonor in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral; and (iii) all claims, damages, and demands against the Lender arising out of the repossession, retention, sale or application of the proceeds of any
sale of the Pledged Collateral except for damages determined by a decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by the Lenders willful misconduct or gross negligence.
(b) The Borrower waives any right it may have to require the Lender to pursue any third person for any of the Secured Obligations. The Lender may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Pledged Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Pledged Collateral. The Lender may sell the Pledged Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Pledged Collateral. The Lender may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Pledged Collateral. If the Lender sells any of the Pledged Collateral upon credit, the Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Lender and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Pledged Collateral, the Lender may resell the Pledged Collateral and the Borrower shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.
SECTION 12 MISCELLANEOUS
(a) Notices. All notices or other communications hereunder shall be given in the manner and to the addresses specified in the Facility Agreement.
(b) No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges that may otherwise be available to the Lender.
(c) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Borrower and the Lender and their respective successors and assigns and shall bind any person who becomes bound as a debtor to this Agreement.
(d) Assignment.
(i) The Borrower shall not assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement.
(ii) The Lender may, at any time, assign to one or more assignees all or part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the Borrower together with and in proportion to any assignment of the Loans. The Borrower agrees to execute all documents and take all action that may be required by the Lender in respect of any assignment or proposed assignment. Any such assignee shall be and be treated as a party for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be entitled to the full benefit of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party in respect of the rights or obligations assigned to it.
(e) Governing Law. This Agreement and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York except as required by mandatory provisions of law and to the extent the validity or perfection of the security interests hereunder, or the remedies hereunder, in respect of any Pledged Collateral are governed by the law of a jurisdiction other than New York.
(f) Jurisdiction; Service of Process.
(i) Jurisdiction. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York, in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which such party may raise now, or hereafter have, to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a final judgment in any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in such a court shall be conclusive and binding upon such party, and may be enforced in any court of the jurisdiction in which such party is or may be subject by a suit upon such judgment, provided, however, that service of process is effected upon such party in the manner specified below or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.
(ii) Service of Process. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Law Debenture Corporate Services Inc., with offices at the date of this Agreement at 400 Madison Avenue, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10017, as its authorized agent on which any and all legal process may be served in any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any Federal or State court located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. The Borrower agrees that service of process in respect of it upon its appointed agent, together with written notice of such service given to it in the manner provided in Section 12, shall be deemed to be effective service of process upon it in any such action, suit or proceeding. The Borrower agrees that the failure of its appointed agent to give notice to it of any such service shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or any judgment rendered in any action, suit or proceeding based thereon. If for any reason the Borrowers appointed agent shall cease to be available to act as such, the Borrower agrees to designate a new agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, on the terms and for the purposes of this Section. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the ability of any party hereto to serve any such legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable law or to obtain jurisdiction over any such party or bring actions, suits or proceedings against it in such other jurisdictions, and in such manner, as may be permitted by applicable law.
(g) Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and the Facility Agreement contain the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall not be amended except by the written agreement of the parties as provided in the Facility Agreement.
(h) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all applicable laws and regulations.
If, however, any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such law or regulation in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such law or regulation, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement, or the validity or effectiveness of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., pdf or tif) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
(j) Incorporation of Provisions of the Facility Agreement. To the extent the Facility Agreement contains provisions of general applicability to the Finance Documents, such provisions are incorporated herein by this reference.
(k) Termination. Upon termination of the Commitment of the Lender and indefeasible payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and unasserted expense reimbursement obligations), the security interests created under this Agreement shall terminate and the Lender shall promptly and at the cost of the Borrower redeliver to the Borrower any of the Pledged Collateral in the Lenders possession and shall execute and deliver to the Borrower such documents and instruments reasonably requested by the Borrower as shall be necessary to evidence termination of all security interests given by the Borrower to the Lender hereunder.

8.1 Appointment of receivers
If:
(a) requested by the Chargor;

without any notice or further notice, the Lender may, by deed, or otherwise in writing signed by any officer or manager of the Lender or any person authorised for this purpose by the Lender, appoint one or more persons to be a Receiver. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, the Lender may similarly remove (so far as it is lawfully able) any Receiver and appoint any person instead of any Receiver.

Any Receiver may be appointed Receiver of all of the Charged Assets or Receiver of a part of the Charged Assets specified in the appointment.

8.3 Rights of Receivers
Any Receiver appointed pursuant to this Clause 8 shall have the rights, powers, privileges and immunities conferred by the Acts on (a) mortgagees, (b) mortgagees in possession and (c) administrative or other receivers duly appointed under the Acts, and subject to Clause 8.2 (Scope of appointment), shall also have the rights set out in Schedule 1 (Rights of Receivers).

The Chargor undertakes to indemnify the Lender, each Receiver and each Delegate against any claim which may be made against the Lender, that Receiver or that Delegate by such purchaser or any other person by reason of any defect in its title to the Charged Assets.

(a) any time, indulgence, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, the Chargor, or any 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;

(d) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of the Chargor or any other person;
(e) any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of any Transaction Document or any other document or security including without limitation any change in the purpose of, any extension of or any increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Transaction Document or other document or security;

14.4 Immediate recourse
The Chargor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Lender (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 that Chargor under this Deed. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.
14.5 Appropriations
Until all the Liabilities have been irrevocably paid in full and all facilities which might give rise to Liabilities have terminated, the Lender (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:
(a) refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, Security or rights held or received by the Lender (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 sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and the Chargor shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and
(b) hold in a non-interest bearing suspense account any moneys received from the Chargor or on account of the Chargors liability under this Deed.
14.6 Deferral of Chargors rights
Until all the Liabilities have been irrevocably paid in full and all facilities which might give rise to Liabilities have terminated and unless the Lender otherwise directs, the Chargor will not exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Deed:
(a) to be indemnified by any other person;
(b) to claim any contribution from any other person;

guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents by the Lender;
(d) to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any other person to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which the Chargor had given an guarantee, undertaking or indemnity;
(e) to exercise any right of set-off against any other person; and/or
(f) to claim or prove as a creditor of any other person in competition with the Lender.
If the 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 Lender by the Chargor under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Lender and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Lender or as the Lender may direct for application in accordance with Clause 10 (Order of distributions).

(b) any step is taken in relation to the Winding-up of the Chargor,
the Lender may open a new account in the name of the Chargor with the Lender (whether or not it permits any existing account to continue). If the Lender does not open such a new account, it shall nevertheless be treated as if it had done so when the relevant event occurred. No moneys paid into any account, whether new or continuing, after that event shall discharge or reduce the amount recoverable pursuant to any Finance Document to which the Chargor is party.
18. INDEMNITIES
18.1 Currency indemnity
(a) If any sum due from the Chargor under the Finance Documents (a Sum), or any order, judgment or award given or made in relation to a Sum, has to be converted from the currency (the First Currency) in which that Sum is payable into another currency (the Second Currency) for the purpose of:
(i) making or filing a claim or proof against the Chargor; or
(ii) obtaining or enforcing an order, judgment or award in relation to any litigation or arbitration proceedings,
the Chargor shall as an independent obligation, within three (3) Business Days of demand, indemnify the Lender against any cost, loss or liability arising out of or as a result of the conversion including any discrepancy between (A) the rate of exchange used to convert that Sum from the First Currency into the Second Currency and (B) the rate or rates of exchange available to that person at the time of its receipt of that Sum.
(b) The Chargor waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under the Finance Documents in a currency or currency unit other than that in which it is expressed to be payable.
18.2 Other Indemnities
(a) The Lender shall be indemnified (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) by the Chargor from and against all actions, losses, claims, proceedings, costs, demands and liabilities which may be suffered by the Lender by reason of any failure of the Chargor to perform any of its obligations under this Deed or in the execution or purported execution of any of the rights, powers, remedies, authorities or discretions vested in the Lender under or pursuant to this Deed.

Where there is any ambiguity or conflict between the rights conferred by law or contained in the Property Act and those conferred by or pursuant to any Finance Document, the terms of that Finance Document shall prevail.
19.2 Exercise of rights
No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Lender, Receiver or Delegate, any right or remedy under any Finance Document shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy.
