If any payment by the Chargor or any discharge given by the Lender (whether in respect of the obligations of the Chargor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is avoided or reduced as a result of insolvency or any similar event:

 

(a)                                 the liability of the Chargor and the Charges shall continue as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred; and

 

(b)                                 the Lender shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of that security or payment from the Chargor, as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred.

 

14.3                        Waiver of defences

 

Neither the obligations of the Chargor under this Deed nor the Charges will be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under any Transaction Document of any of the Charges (without limitation and whether or not known to it or the Lender) including:

 

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

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 Chargor’s liability under this Deed.

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;

 

(c)                                  to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Lender under the Finance Documents or of any other

 

10



 

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).

15.2                        Retention of Security

 

If the Lender considers that any amount paid or credited to the Lender under any Finance Document is capable of being avoided or otherwise set aside, that amount shall not be considered to have been paid for the purposes of determining whether all the Liabilities have been irrevocably paid.

 

16.                               EXPENSES

 

16.1                        Enforcement costs
