The Security Agent shall promptly enter into such documentation and/or take such other action as is required by the Chargor (acting reasonably) in order to facilitate any such transaction, matter or other step, including by way of executing any confirmation, consent to dealing, release or other similar or equivalent document, provided that any costs and expenses incurred by the Security Agent entering into such documentation and/or taking such other action at the request of the Chargor pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be for the account of the Chargor, in accordance with clause 20 (Costs and Expenses) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

(i) to give a guarantee or grant Security where, in the good faith judgment of the directors of the Chargor, the creation of Security, the giving of a guarantee and/or otherwise becoming the Chargor under this Security Agreement could materially increase the regulatory capital requirements pursuant to any applicable law or regulation or the views, guidance or interpretation of the applicable law or regulation of any Relevant Regulator, or materially adversely affect the solvency capital requirements, of the Group (or any member thereof) pursuant to any applicable law or regulation applicable to such member of the Group, or where such guarantee or grant could cause the Group (or any member thereof) to breach any applicable law or regulation; or

(ii) to create Security over or otherwise encumber any Restricted Asset (including, without limitation, any bank accounts which contain or are reasonably likely to contain any Restricted Assets).

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 the Security created under this Security Agreement, 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 Security Agreement, those contained in this Security Agreement shall prevail.

11.4 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 Security Agreement, and all or any of the rights and powers conferred by this Security Agreement on a Receiver (whether expressly or impliedly), may be exercised by the Security Agent without further notice to the Chargor at any time upon or after the occurrence of an Acceleration Event which is continuing, irrespective of whether the Security Agent has taken possession or appointed a Receiver of the Charged Property.

11.5 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 Security Agreement.

11.6 Appropriation under the Financial Collateral Regulations

To the extent that any of the Charged Property constitute “financial collateral” and this Security Agreement and the obligations of the Chargor under it constitute a “security financial collateral arrangement” (in each case, as defined in, and for the purposes of, the Financial Collateral Arrangements (No. 2) Regulations 2003 (SI 2003 No. 3226) (the “FCR Regulations”)), upon and after the Security created pursuant to this Security Agreement has become enforceable, the Security Agent or any Receiver shall have the benefit of all the rights of a collateral taker conferred upon it by the FCR Regulations, including the right to appropriate without notice to the Chargor (either on a single occasion or on multiple occasions) all or any part of that financial collateral in or towards discharge of the Secured Obligations and, for this purpose, the value of the financial collateral so appropriated shall be:

(a) in the case of cash, the face value at the time of appropriation; and

(b) in the case of any other financial collateral, the market price at the time of appropriation of that financial collateral determined by the Security Agent or any Receiver (as applicable) in a commercially reasonable manner (including by reference to a public index or independent valuation),

as converted, where necessary, into the currency in which the liabilities under the Secured Debt Documents are denominated at a market rate of exchange prevailing at the time of appropriation selected by the Security Agent or any Receiver. The Parties agree that the methods of valuation set out in paragraphs (a) and (b) above are commercially reasonable methods of valuation for the purposes of the FCR Regulations.

12. RECEIVERS

12.1 Appointment of Receiver

(a) At any time upon or after the occurrence of an Acceleration Event which is continuing, or if so requested by the Chargor, the Security Agent may, by writing under hand signed by an officer or manager of the Security Agent, appoint any person (or persons) to be a Receiver of all or any part of the Charged Property (save to the extent prohibited by section 72A of the Insolvency Act 1986).

(b) Section 109(1) of the Law of Property Act 1925 shall not apply to this Security Agreement.

(c) If the Security Agent appoints more than one person as Receiver, the Security Agent may give those persons power to act either jointly or severally.

(d) Any Receiver may be appointed Receiver of all of the Charged Property or Receiver of a part of the Charged Property specified in the appointment. In the case of an appointment in respect of a part of the Charged Property, the rights conferred on a Receiver as set out in Clause 12.2 (Powers of Receiver) shall have effect as though every reference in Clause 12.2 (Powers of Receiver) to the Charged Property were a reference to the part of the Charged Property so specified or any part of that Charged Property.

12.2 Powers of Receiver

Each Receiver appointed under this Security Agreement shall have (subject to any limitations or restrictions which the Security Agent may incorporate in the deed or instrument appointing it) all the powers conferred from time to time on receivers by the Law of Property Act 1925 and the Insolvency Act 1986 (each of which is deemed incorporated in this Security Agreement), so that the powers set out in Schedule 1 to the Insolvency Act 1986 shall extend to every Receiver, whether or not an administrative receiver. In addition, notwithstanding any liquidation of the Chargor, each Receiver shall have the following rights, powers and discretions:

(a) all the rights conferred by the Law of Property Act 1925 on mortgagors and on mortgagees in possession and on any receiver appointed under the Law of Property Act 1925;

(b) all the rights expressed to be conferred upon the Security Agent in this Security Agreement and all the rights to release the Charged Property from the Security conferred upon the Security Agent in the Secured Debt Documents;

(c) to take immediate possession of, get in and collect any Charged Property and to require payment to it or to the Security Agent of any monetary claims or credit balance on any Account;

(d) to bring, prosecute, enforce, defend and abandon any action, suit and proceedings in relation to any Charged Property or any business of the Chargor;

(e) to give a valid receipt for any moneys and execute any assurance or thing which may be necessary or desirable for realising any Charged Property;

(f) to exercise all voting and other rights attaching to the Shares and stocks, shares and other securities owned by the Chargor and comprised in the Charged Property, but only following a written notification from either the Receiver or the Security Agent to the Chargor stating that the Security Agent shall exercise all voting rights in respect of the Shares and stocks, shares and other securities owned by the Chargor and comprised in the Charged Property;

(g) to 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;

(h) to exercise in relation to any Charged Property all the powers, authorities and things which he would be capable of exercising if he were the absolute beneficial owner of that Charged Property; and

(i) to 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 12.2, 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.

12.3 Receiver as Agent

(a) Any Receiver shall be the agent of the Chargor for all purposes and accordingly shall be deemed to be in the same position as a Receiver duly appointed by a mortgagee under the Law of Property Act 1925.

(b) The Chargor is solely responsible for the contracts, engagements, acts, omissions, defaults and losses of a Receiver and for any liabilities incurred by a Receiver.

12.4 Removal of Receiver

The Security Agent may by notice remove from time to time any Receiver appointed by it (subject to the provisions of section 45 of the Insolvency Act 1986 in the case of an administrative receivership) and, whenever it may deem appropriate, appoint a new Receiver in the place of any Receiver whose appointment has terminated, for whatever reason.

12.5 Remuneration of Receiver

The Security Agent may (subject to section 36 of the Insolvency Act 1986) reasonably determine the remuneration of any Receiver appointed by it and any maximum rate imposed by any law

(including under section 109(6) of the Law of Property Act 1925) shall not apply to this Security Agreement and may direct payment of such remuneration out of moneys accruing to him as Receiver, but the Chargor alone shall be liable for the payment of such remuneration and for all other reasonable costs, charges, losses, liabilities and expenses of the Receiver.

12.6 Several Receivers

If at any time there is more than one Receiver, each Receiver may separately exercise all of the powers conferred by this Security Agreement (unless the deed or instrument appointing such Receiver states otherwise).

13. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS

13.1 Order of application

All moneys and other proceeds or assets received or recovered by the Security Agent or any Receiver pursuant to this Security Agreement or the powers conferred by it shall be applied in the order and manner specified in the Intercreditor Agreement.

13.2 Section 109 Law of Property Act 1925

Sections 109(6) of the Law of Property Act 1925 shall not apply to a Receiver appointed under this Security Agreement.

13.3 Application against Secured Obligations

Subject to Clause 13.1 (Order of application) above, any moneys or other value received or realised by the Security Agent from the Chargor or a Receiver under this Security Agreement may be applied by the Security Agent to any item of account or liability or transaction forming part of the Secured Obligations to which they may be applicable in any order or manner which the Security Agent may determine.

13.4 Suspense account

At any time upon or after the occurrence of an Acceleration Event which is continuing, until the Final Discharge Date, the Security Agent may place and keep (for such time as it shall determine) any money received, recovered or realised pursuant to this Security Agreement or on account of the Chargor’s liability in respect of the Secured Obligations in an interest bearing separate suspense account (to the credit of either the Chargor or the Security Agent as the Security Agent shall think fit) and the Receiver may retain the same for the period which he and the Security Agent consider expedient without having any obligation to apply all or any part of that money in or towards discharge of such Secured Obligations.

14. PROTECTION OF Security Agent AND RECEIVER

14.1 Possession of Charged Property

If the Security Agent or the Receiver enters into possession of the Charged Property, it will not be liable to account as mortgagee in possession by reason of viewing or repairing any of the present or future Charged Property of the Chargor and may at any time at its discretion go out of such possession.

14.2 Waiver of defences

Clause 24.4 (Waiver of defences) of the Intercreditor Agreement is incorporated mutatis mutandis into this Security Agreement (including all capitalised terms as defined therein) but as if each reference therein to:

(a) a “Debtor” is a reference to the Chargor; and

(b) a “Debt Document” is a reference to a Secured Debt Document.

14.3 Security Agent

The provisions set out in clause 17 (The Security Agent) of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern the rights, duties and obligations of the Security Agent under this Security Agreement.

14.4 Cumulative powers

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

15. POWER OF ATTORNEY

(a) The Chargor, by way of security, irrevocably and severally appoints the Security Agent, each Receiver and any person nominated for the purpose by the Security Agent or any Receiver (in writing and signed by an officer of the Security Agent 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 at any time upon or after the occurrence of an Acceleration Event which is continuing and in such manner as the attorney considers fit:

(i) to do anything which the Chargor is obliged to do under this Security Agreement (including to do all such acts or execute all such documents, assignments, transfers, mortgages, charges, notices, instructions, filings and registrations as the Security Agent may reasonably specify (and in such form as the Security Agent may reasonably require in favour of the Security Agent or its nominee(s))); and

(ii) to exercise any of the rights conferred on the Security Agent, any Receiver or any delegate in relation to (i) the Security granted pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) any Secured Debt Document or (iii) under any law.

(b) The power of attorney conferred on the Security Agent and each Receiver pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall continue notwithstanding the exercise by the Security Agent or any Receiver of any right of appropriation pursuant to Clause 11.6 (Appropriation under the Financial Collateral Regulations).

(c) The Chargor ratifies and confirms and agrees to ratify and confirm whatever any such attorney shall do in the proper exercise of the power of attorney granted by it in this Clause 15.

16. PROTECTION FOR THIRD PARTIES

16.1 No obligation to enquire

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

(a) whether the right of the Security Agent or any Receiver to exercise any of the powers conferred by this Security Agreement has arisen or become exercisable or as to the propriety or validity of the proper exercise of any such power;

(b) whether any consents, regulations, restrictions or directions relating to such powers have been obtained or complied with;

(d) as to the propriety or validity of acts purporting or intended to be in exercise of any such powers;

(e) whether 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; or

(f) as to the application of any money paid to the Security Agent, any Receiver or its agents,

and any such person who is not a party to this Security Agreement may rely on this Clause 16.1 and enforce its terms under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

16.2 Receipt conclusive

The receipt of the Security Agent or any Receiver shall be an absolute and a conclusive discharge to a purchaser, and shall relieve him of any obligation to see to the application of any moneys paid to or by the direction of the Security Agent or any Receiver.

17. REINSTATEMENT AND RELEASE

17.1 Amounts avoided

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

(i) the liability of the Chargor and the relevant security shall continue as if the payment, discharge, release, avoidance or reduction had not occurred; and

(ii) the relevant Secured Party 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.

(b) The Security Agent may concede or compromise any claim that any payment, security or other disposition is liable to avoidance or restoration.

17.2 Discharge conditional

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

17.3 Covenant to release

(a) Subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) below, on the Final Discharge Date, the Security Agent and each Secured Party shall, at the request and cost of the Chargor:

(i) promptly take any and all action which the Chargor reasonably requests and/or which may be necessary to release, reassign or discharge (as appropriate) the Charged Property from the Security constituted by this Security Agreement; and

(ii) promptly take all other actions and steps contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement in relation to the release of any Security contemplated by this Security Agreement, or any other steps, confirmations or actions in relation to this Security Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Security Agreement, on the date of any disposal of any of the Charged Property, as contemplated in the Tax Structure Memorandum (or in order to facilitate any of the intermediate steps or actions necessary to implement the steps, circumstances, payments or transactions described therein), the Security Agent (on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties and is irrevocably authorised and instructed to do so without any consent, sanction, authority or further confirmation) hereby agrees that it:

(B) reassigns and retransfers to the Chargor all rights, interest and title to the Charged Property; and

(C) relinquishes any and all rights effectively granted to it by the Chargor under any power of attorney or proxy, or submission to enforcement, pursuant to or in connection with this Security Agreement; and

(ii) shall promptly (at the request and cost of the Chargor) take any and all action which is necessary to release such Charged Property from the Security constituted by this Security Agreement.

17.4 Immediate recourse

Upon or after the occurrence of an Acceleration Event which is continuing and until the Final Discharge Date, each Secured Party (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 that Secured Party (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 considers fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and the Chargor shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

(b) hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from the Chargor or on account of the Chargor’s liability under this Security Agreement.

17.6 Deferral of the Chargor’s rights

(a) Until the Final Discharge Date and unless the Security Agent otherwise directs, the Chargor shall not exercise any rights which it may have to:

(i) be indemnified by any Obligor or surety or Group Company of any Debtor’s or the Chargor’s obligations under the Secured Debt Documents;

(ii) claim any contribution from any Obligor in respect of any Debtor’s obligations under the Secured Debt Documents;

(iii) take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Secured Parties under the Secured Debt Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Secured Debt Documents by any Secured Party;

(iv) bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor or the Chargor to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which the relevant Obligor or the Chargor had given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity;

(v) exercise any right of set-off against a Debtor; and/or

(vi) claim or prove as a creditor of any Debtor in competition with any Secured Party.

(b) 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 Secured Parties by the Chargor and Debtors under or in connection with the Secured Debt Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Secured Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Security Agent or as the Security Agent may direct for application in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.

17.8 Additional security/non-merger

The Security created pursuant to this Security Agreement is in addition to, independent of and not in substitution for or derogation of, and shall not be merged into or in any way be excluded or prejudiced by, any other guarantees or Security at any time held by any Secured Party in respect of or in connection with any or all of the Secured Obligations or any other amount due by the Chargor to any Secured Party.

17.9 New accounts and ruling off

(a) Any Secured Party may open a new account in the name of the Chargor at any time after that Secured Party has received or is deemed to have received notice of any subsequent Security affecting any Charged Property (except as permitted by the Secured Debt Documents or where Required Creditor Consent has been obtained).

(b) If a Secured Party does not open a new account in the circumstances referred to in paragraph (a) above it shall nevertheless be deemed to have done so upon the occurrence of such circumstances, and all payments made by or on behalf of the Chargor to that Secured Party shall be credited or be treated as having been credited to the relevant new account.

(c) No moneys paid into any account (whether new or continuing) after the occurrence of the circumstances referred to in paragraph (a) above shall reduce or discharge the Secured Obligations.

18. CURRENCY CLAUSES

18.1 Conversion

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

18.2 No discharge

No payment to the Security Agent (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 Security Agent 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 Security Agent shall have a further separate cause of action against the Chargor and shall be entitled to enforce the Security constituted by this Security Agreement to recover the amount of the shortfall.

19. SET-OFF

19.1 Set-off rights

Upon or after the occurrence of an Acceleration Event which is continuing, the Security Agent may set off any matured obligation due from the Chargor under the Secured Debt Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by the Security Agent) against any matured obligation owed by the Security Agent to the Chargor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Security Agent may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off.

19.2 Unliquidated claims

If, at any time upon or after the occurrence of an Acceleration Event which is continuing, the relevant obligation or liability is unliquidated or unascertained, the Secured Party may set-off the amount which it estimates (in good faith) will be the final amount of that obligation or liability once it becomes liquidated or ascertained.

20. REDEMPTION OF PRIOR Security

The Security Agent or any Receiver may, at any time upon or after the occurrence of an Acceleration Event which is continuing, 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 Security Agent all principal monies and interest and all losses incidental to any such redemption or transfer.

A certificate or determination of the Security Agent or any Receiver under this Security Agreement will be conclusive evidence of the matters to which it relates and binding on the Chargor, except in the case of manifest error.

23.2 Counterparts

This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and this has the same effect as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of this Security Agreement. Delivery of a counterpart of this Security Agreement by e-mail attachment or telecopy shall be an effective mode of delivery.

23.3 Invalidity of any provision

If any provision of this Security Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired in any way.

23.4 Failure to execute

Failure by one or more Parties (“Non-Signatories”) to execute this Security Agreement on the date hereof will not invalidate the provisions of this Security Agreement as between the other Parties who do execute this Security Agreement. Such Non-Signatories may execute this Security Agreement on a subsequent date and will thereupon become bound by its provisions.

23.5 Amendments

Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, any provision of this Security Agreement may be amended in writing by the Security Agent and the Chargor, and the Chargor irrevocably appoints the Parent as its agent for the purpose of agreeing and executing any amendment on its behalf.

Agreement, whether contractual or non-contractual (including a dispute regarding the existence, validity or termination of this Security Agreement) (a “Dispute”). The Parties agree that the courts of England are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes and accordingly no party will argue to the contrary.

(c) The Chargor agrees that a judgment or order of any court referred to in this Clause 24 is conclusive and binding and may be enforced against it in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

IN WITNESS whereof this Security Agreement has been duly executed and delivered as a deed on the date first above written, and shall take effect as a deed notwithstanding the fact that some parties may have signed under hand.
