9.3 | Waiver of defences |
The obligations of a Chargor under this Security Agreement will not be affected by any act, omission or thing (whether or not known to it or any Secured Party) which, but for this provision, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Security Agreement. This includes:
(a) | any time or waiver granted to, or composition with, any person; |
(b) | any release of any person under the terms of any composition or arrangement; |
(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, any person; |
(d) | 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; |
(e) | any incapacity, lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of any person; |
(f) | any amendment of a Second Lien Note Document or any other document or security; or |
(g) | any unenforceability, illegality, invalidity or non-provability of any obligation of any person under any Second Lien Note Document or any other document or security or the failure by that Chargor or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into or be bound by any Second Lien Note Document. |
9.4 | Immediate recourse |
Each Chargor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other right or security or claim payment from any person or file any proof or claim in any insolvency, administration, winding-up or liquidation proceedings relative to any other Indenture Party or any other person before claiming from that Chargor under this Security Agreement.
9.5 | Appropriations |
At any time during the Security Period, each Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may without affecting the liability of a Chargor under this Security Agreement:
(a) (i) | 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) against those amounts; or |
14
(ii) | apply and enforce them in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise); and |
(b) | hold in a non interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from a Chargor or on account of a Chargor’s liability under this Security Agreement. |
9.6 | Non-competition |
Unless the Security Period has expired, no Chargor will, after a claim has been made under this Security Agreement or by virtue of any payment or performance by it under this Security Agreement:
(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); |
(b) | be entitled to any right of contribution or indemnity in respect of any payment made or moneys received on account of a Chargor’s liability under this Clause; |
(c) | claim, rank, prove or vote as a creditor of any Indenture Party 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 Indenture Party, or exercise any right of set-off as against any Indenture Party. |
Each Chargor must hold in trust for and 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.
9.7 | Additional security |
(a) | This Security Agreement is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other security now or subsequently held by any Secured Party. |
(b) | No prior security held by any Secured Party (in its capacity as such or otherwise) over any Security Asset will merge into this Security. |
9.8 | Security held by the Chargors |
No Chargor may hold any security from any other Indenture Party in respect of that Chargor’s liability under this Security Agreement. That Chargor will hold any security held by it in breach of this provision on trust for the Collateral Agent.
10. | WHEN SECURITY BECOMES ENFORCEABLE |
10.1 | Timing |
This Security will become immediately enforceable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

15
11. | ENFORCEMENT OF SECURITY |
11.1 | General |
(a) | The power of sale and any other powers conferred on a mortgagee by law (including under Section 101 of the Act), as amended by this Security Agreement, will be immediately exercisable at any time after this Security has become enforceable. |
(b) | For the purposes of all powers implied by statute, the Secured Liabilities are deemed to have become due and payable on the date of this Security Agreement. |
(c) | Any restriction imposed by law on the power of sale (including under section 103 of the Act) or the right of a mortgagee to consolidate mortgages (including under section 93 of the Act) does not apply to this Security. |
(d) | The statutory powers of leasing conferred on the Collateral Agent are extended so as to authorise the Collateral Agent to lease, make agreements for leases, accept surrenders of leases and grant options as the Collateral Agent may think fit and without the need to comply with any provision of section 99 or 100 of the Act. |
11.2 | No liability as mortgagee in possession |
Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Receiver will be liable, by reason of entering into possession of a Security Asset, to account as mortgagee in possession or for any loss on realisation or for any default or omission for which a mortgagee in possession might be liable.
11.3 | Privileges |
Each Receiver and the Collateral Agent is entitled to all the rights, powers, privileges and immunities conferred by law (including the Act) on mortgagees and receivers duly appointed under any law (including the Act), except that Section 103 of the Act does not apply.
11.4 | Protection of third parties |
No person (including a purchaser) dealing with the Collateral Agent or a Receiver or its or his agents will be concerned to enquire:
(a) | whether the Secured Liabilities have become payable; |
(b) | whether any power which the Collateral Agent or a Receiver is purporting to exercise has become exercisable or is being properly exercised; |
(c) | whether any money remains due under the Second Lien Note Documents; or |
(d) | how any money paid to the Collateral Agent or to that Receiver is to be applied. |
11.5 | Redemption of prior mortgages |
(a) | At any time after this Security has become enforceable, the Collateral Agent may: |
(i) | redeem any prior Lien against any Security Asset; and/or |
(ii) | procure the transfer of that Lien to itself; and/or |
16
(iii) | settle and pass the accounts of the prior mortgagee, chargee or encumbrancer; any accounts so settled and passed will be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive and binding on each Chargor. |
(b) | Each Chargor must pay to the Collateral Agent, promptly following demand, the costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with any such redemption and/or transfer, including the payment of any principal or interest. |
11.6 | Contingencies |
If this Security is enforced at a time when no amount is due under the Second Lien Note Documents but at a time when amounts may or will become due, the Collateral Agent (or the Receiver) may pay the proceeds of any recoveries effected by it into such number of suspense accounts as it considers appropriate.
12. | RECEIVER |
12.1 | Appointment of Receiver |
(a) | Except as provided below, the Collateral Agent may appoint any one or more persons to be a Receiver of all or any part of the Security Assets if: |
(i) | this Security has become enforceable; or |
(ii) | a Chargor so requests the Collateral Agent in writing at any time. |
(b) | Any appointment under paragraph (a) above may be by deed, under seal or in writing under its hand. |
(c) | Except as provided below, any restriction imposed by law on the right of a mortgagee to appoint a Receiver (including under section 109(1) of the Act) does not apply to this Security Agreement. |
(d) | The Collateral Agent is not entitled to appoint a Receiver solely as a result of the obtaining of a moratorium (or anything done with a view to obtaining a moratorium) under section 1A of the Insolvency Act 1986. |
12.2 | Removal |
The Collateral Agent may by writing under its hand remove any Receiver appointed by it and may, whenever it thinks fit, appoint a new Receiver in the place of any Receiver whose appointment may for any reason have terminated.
12.3 | Remuneration |
The Collateral Agent may fix the remuneration of any Receiver appointed by it and the maximum rate specified in Section 109(6) of the Act will not apply.
12.4 | Agent of each Chargor |
(a) | A Receiver will be deemed to be the agent of each Chargor for all purposes and accordingly will be deemed to be in the same position as a Receiver duly appointed by a mortgagee under the Act. Each Chargor is responsible for the contracts, engagements, acts, omissions, defaults and losses of a Receiver and for liabilities incurred by a Receiver. |
17
(b) | No Secured Party will incur any liability (either to a Chargor or to any other person) by reason of the appointment of a Receiver or for any other reason. |
12.5 | Relationship with Collateral Agent |
To the fullest extent allowed by law, any right, power or discretion conferred by this Security Agreement (either expressly or impliedly) or by law on a Receiver may after this Security becomes enforceable be exercised by the Collateral Agent in relation to any Security Asset without first appointing a Receiver and notwithstanding the appointment of a Receiver.
13. | POWERS OF RECEIVER |

in each case as he thinks fit.
19
13.15 | Other powers |
A Receiver may:
(a) | do all other acts and things which he may consider desirable or necessary for realising any Security Asset or incidental or conducive to any of the rights, powers or discretions conferred on a Receiver under or by virtue of this Security Agreement or law; |
(b) | exercise in relation to any Security Asset all the powers, authorities and things which he would be capable of exercising if he were the absolute beneficial owner of that Security Asset; and |
(c) | use the name of any Chargor for any of the above purposes. |
14. | APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS |
Any moneys received by the Collateral Agent or that Receiver after this Security has become enforceable must be applied by the Collateral Agent in the following order of priority:

(c) | in payment of the surplus (if any) to any Chargor or other person entitled to it. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Clause is subject to the payment of any claims having priority over this Security and to the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. This Clause does not prejudice the right of any Secured Party to recover any shortfall from any Chargor following compliance with the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.
15. | CURRENCY CONVERSION |
Any amounts received by the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties as a consequence of the exercise of the Collateral Agent’s rights provided for herein, including in respect of an Event of Default, shall be applied pursuant to the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Where applicable, such amounts will be converted into U.S. Dollars at the reasonable market rates in force on the day of such conversion and then remitted (minus any commission or other amounts charged in connection with such conversion, if applicable) to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties or directly to the Secured Parties, provided that if such conversion or remittance is not legally permitted or possible for any reason outside the Collateral Agent’s control at the time, such amounts may, at the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties, and if so permitted under applicable law, regulations and the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, be received in the applicable currency by the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties.
16. | EXPENSES AND INDEMNITY |
(a) | Each Chargor must: |
(i) | immediately on demand pay all costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred in connection with this Security Agreement by any Secured Party, Receiver, attorney, manager, agent or other person appointed by the Collateral Agent under this Security Agreement including any arising from any actual or alleged breach by any person of any law or regulation, whether relating to the environment or otherwise; and |
20
(ii) | keep each of those persons indemnified against any failure or delay in paying those costs and expenses. |
(b) | No Chargor will be liable for any amount claimed under and in accordance with paragraph (a) above to the extent that such an amount has arisen solely due to the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of any Secured Party, Receiver, attorney, manager, agent or other person appointed by the Collateral Agent under this Security Agreement. |

18. | FURTHER ASSURANCES |

19. | POWER OF ATTORNEY |

Each Chargor ratifies and confirms whatever any attorney does or purports to do under its appointment under this Clause.
20. | CHANGES TO THE PARTIES |
20.1 | The Chargors |
No Chargor may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Security Agreement other than in connection with the transfer of shares to a Note Guarantor as contemplated by the Company Reorganization (as defined in the Credit Agreement), provided that such transfer is expressly subject to this Security and the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Security Agreement.
21
20.2 | The Secured Parties |
(a) | Any Secured Party may assign or otherwise dispose of all or any of its rights under this Security Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Note Documents to which it is a party and may disclose any information in its possession relating to a Chargor to any actual or prospective assignee, transferee or participant if so permitted by the terms of the Second Lien Note Documents. |
(b) | References to the Collateral Agent in this Security Agreement include any successor Collateral Agent appointed under the Credit Agreement. |

22. | MISCELLANEOUS |
22.1 | Covenant to pay |
Each Chargor must pay or discharge the Secured Liabilities in the manner provided for in the Second Lien Note Documents.
22.2 | Tacking |
Each Issuer must perform its obligations under the Indenture (including any obligation to make available further Securities).

(a) | If any subsequent charge or other interest affects any Security Asset, the Secured Party may open a new account with a Chargor. |
(b) | If the Secured Party does not open a new account, it will nevertheless be treated as if it had done so at the time when it received or was deemed to have received notice of that charge or other interest. |
(c) | As from that time all payments made to the Secured Party will be credited or be treated as having been credited to the new account and will not operate to reduce any Secured Liability. |
22.4 | Time deposits |
Without prejudice to any right of set-off any Secured Party may have under any other Second Lien Note Document or otherwise, if any time deposit matures on any account a Chargor has with any Secured Party within the Security Period when:
(a) | this Security has become enforceable; and |
22
(b) | no Secured Liability is due and payable, |
that time deposit will automatically be renewed for any further maturity which that Secured Party considers appropriate.
23. | RELEASE |
At the end of the Security Period, the Secured Parties must, at the request and cost of a Chargor, take whatever action is necessary to release its Security Assets from this Security. In addition, if any Security Asset is being disposed of or otherwise transferred to a person other than the Issuers or any Note Guarantor pursuant to a transaction which is either permitted by or consented to under the Indenture, the Collateral Agent shall, at the reasonable request and cost of the relevant Chargor, release, reassign or discharge (as appropriate) such Security Asset from this Security.
24. | EVIDENCE AND CALCULATIONS |
24.1 | Accounts |
Accounts maintained by a Secured Party in connection with this Security Agreement are prima facie evidence of the matters to which they relate for the purpose of any litigation or arbitration proceedings.
24.2 | Certificates and determinations |
Any certification or determination by a Secured Party of a rate or amount under the Indenture will be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive evidence of the matters to which it relates.

Any communication in connection with this Security Agreement must be given in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
26. | SEVERABILITY |
If a term of this Security Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any jurisdiction, that will not affect:
(a) | the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other term of this Security Agreement; or |

27. | WAIVERS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE |

23
(b) | are cumulative and not exclusive of its rights under the general law; and |

29. | GOVERNING LAW |
This Security Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by English law.

(c) | This Clause is for the benefit of the Secured Parties only. To the extent allowed by law, a Secured Party may take: |
(i) | proceedings in any other court; and |
