The Chargor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to enforce any Lien or other rights or claim any payment from or otherwise proceed against any other person before enforcing this Deed against the Chargor. This waiver applies irrespective of any applicable law and regulation or any provision of any Loan Document to the contrary.

 

12


11.5 Discretion in enforcement

Until the expiry of the Security Period, the Collateral Agent or any Receiver may:

 

  11.5.1 refrain from applying or enforcing any other monies, Lien or other rights held or received by it in respect of the Secured Liabilities or apply and enforce them in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against the Secured Liabilities or otherwise) and the Chargor shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

 

  11.5.2 hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any monies received from the Chargor or on account of the Secured Liabilities.

 

11.6 Non-Competition

Unless:

 

  11.6.1 all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligor under or in connection with the Loan Documents have been irrevocably paid in full; or

 

  11.6.2 the Collateral Agent otherwise directs,

the Chargor shall not, after a claim has been made or by virtue of any payment or performance by it under this Deed:

 

  (a) be subrogated to any rights, security or moneys held, received or receivable by any Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf);

  (c) claim, rank, prove or vote as a creditor of any Obligor or its estate in competition with any Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf); or

 

  (d) receive, claim or have the benefit of any payment, distribution or security from or on account of any Obligor, or exercise any right of set-off as against any Obligor.

The Chargor must hold in trust for and must immediately pay or transfer to the Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties any payment or distribution or benefit of security received by it contrary to this clause or in accordance with any directions given by the Collateral Agent under this clause.

 

11.7 Subsequent Security

 

  11.7.1 At any time following:

 

  (a) the Collateral Agent’s receipt of notice of any subsequent Lien affecting the Charged Investments;

 

  (b) the Insolvency of the Chargor; or

 

  (c) any disposal of all or any of the Charged Investments in breach of paragraph 2 of Schedule 3,

 

13


any Secured Party may open a new account or accounts in the name of the Chargor (whether or not it permits any existing account to continue). If a Secured Party does not open such a new account, it shall nevertheless be treated as if it had done so at the time when the notice was received or was deemed to have been received or, as the case may be, the Insolvency commenced or the assignment or transfer occurred and from that time all payments made by the Chargor to, the Secured Party or received by the Secured Party for the account of the Chargor shall be credited or treated as having been credited to the new account and shall not operate to reduce the amount secured by this Deed at the time when the Secured Party received or was deemed to have received that notice or, as the case may be, the Insolvency commenced or the assignment or transfer occurred.

  12.2.2 If any avoidance, reduction or clawback occurs or order is made as referred to in clause 12.2.1, then the release given by the Collateral Agent shall have no effect and shall not prejudice the right of the Collateral Agent to enforce this Deed in respect of the Secured Liabilities. As between the Chargor and the Collateral Agent, this Deed shall (notwithstanding the release) be deemed to have remained at all times in effect and held by the Collateral Agent as security for the Secured Liabilities.

 

12.3 Redemption

The Collateral Agent may at any time:

 

  12.3.1 redeem, or procure the transfer to itself of, any such prior Lien over any Charged Investments; or
