10. | POWERS OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT |
10.1 | At any time after the Collateral Agent shall have demanded payment or discharge of any money, obligation or liability hereby secured, in addition to all other powers or rights vested in it by law or otherwise, the Collateral Agent may, without any notice except as hereinafter provided and whether or not it shall have appointed a Receiver, enter into possession and sell all or any of the goodwill, undertaking, assets, rights and property hereby charged (provided that, in the case of the charge over the Charged Assets described in clause 5.1(e), such charge shall, prior to the exercise of such power, operate as a fixed charge) or any part thereof at public or private sale or in any other manner and for such consideration and |
9 of 16
| generally on such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may think fit. Upon any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to each purchaser thereof such goodwill, undertaking, assets, rights or property in the name and on behalf of the Chargor. |
10.2 | Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property so sold absolutely free from any equity or right of redemption of the Chargor who hereby specifically waive all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which the Chargor has or may have under any rule or law or statute now existing or hereinafter adopted. The Collateral Agent shall give to the Chargor ten days written notice of its intention to make any such public or private sale. Such notice in case of public sale shall state the time and place fixed for such sale and in case of private sale the day on which such goodwill, undertaking, assets, rights and property or that portion thereof so being sold will first be offered for sale. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place as the Collateral Agent may fix in the notice of such sale. At such sale, such goodwill, undertaking, assets, rights and property may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obliged to make any public or private sale and may cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In case of any sale on credit or for future delivery the undertaking, assets, rights and property so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the selling price is paid by each purchaser thereof but the Collateral Agent shall incur no liability in the case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for such undertaking, assets, rights and property so sold and in case of any such failing such undertaking, assets, rights and property may again be sold upon like notice. The Collateral Agent instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Deed and sell all or any of the goodwill, undertaking, property, assets and rights hereby charged or any part thereof under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, the Chargor having been given due notice of all such action. |
11. | APPOINTMENT AND POWERS OF RECEIVER |
11.1 | At any time after the Collateral Agent shall have demanded payment or discharge of any money, obligation or liability hereby secured or if requested by the Chargor, the Collateral Agent may in writing under its common seal or under the hand of any director, officer or manager for the time being of the Collateral Agent appoint any person to be a receiver (Receiver) of the undertaking, property, assets and rights hereby charged or any part thereof (with power to authorise any joint receiver to exercise any power independently of any other joint receiver) and may remove any Receiver so appointed and appoint another in his place. In addition to all other powers vested in him by law or otherwise a Receiver shall have the power on behalf and at the cost of the Chargor to do or omit to do anything in relation to the undertaking, property or assets charged hereby or any part thereof and in particular (but without limitation), the following powers: |
| (a) | to take possession of, collect and get in and give receipts binding on the Chargor for all or any property, assets and rights hereby charged and to bring, defend or discontinue any proceedings or submit to arbitration in the name of the Chargor or otherwise as may seem expedient; |
10 of 16
| (b) | to make calls conditionally or unconditionally on the members of the Chargor in respect of uncalled capital; |
| (c) | to carry on, manage, develop, reconstruct, amalgamate or diversify or authorise or concur in any such action relating to, the business of the Chargor or any part thereof and to exercise in respect of the Securities, all voting or other powers or rights available to a registered holder thereof in such manner as he may think fit and to manage and conduct the same without being responsible for loss or damage and for any of those purposes to raise or borrow any money from or incur any liability to the Collateral Agent or others on such terms with or without security as he may think fit and so that any such security may be or include a charge on the whole or any part of the property hereby charged ranking in priority to this security or otherwise; |
| (d) | whether forthwith or later, to sell or concur in selling by public auction or private contract, and to let or concur in letting and to accept surrenders, grant licences or otherwise dispose of or deal with all or any of the goodwill, undertaking, assets, rights and property hereby charged in such manner and for such consideration and generally on such terms and conditions as the Receiver may think fit with full power to convey or otherwise transfer such goodwill, undertaking, assets, rights or property in the name and on behalf of the Chargor or other the estate owner and any such sale may be for cash, debentures or other obligations, shares, stocks or other valuable consideration and may be payable in a lump sum immediately or by instalments spread over such period as the Receiver shall think fit and so that any consideration received in a form other than cash shall ipso facto forthwith on receipt be and become charged with the payment of all moneys, obligations and liabilities secured hereby. Plant, machinery and other fixtures may be severed and sold separately from the premises containing them without the consent of the Chargor being obtained thereto; |
| (e) | to make any arrangements or compromise, allow time for payment or enter into, abandon, cancel or disregard any contracts which he shall think expedient in the interests of the Collateral Agent; |
| (f) | to make and effect all repairs, improvements and renew such of the plant, machinery, chattels and property of the Chargor as he shall think fit and maintain, renew, take out or increase insurances; |
| (g) | to promote the formation of companies with a view to the same purchasing, leasing, licensing or otherwise acquiring all or any of the goodwill, undertaking, property, assets or rights of the Chargor or otherwise; |
11 of 16
| (h) | without any further consent by or notice to the Chargor, exercise on behalf of the Chargor all the powers, rights and provisions conferred on a landlord or a tenant at law or under any lease, sub-lease or other contract or agreement to which the Chargor is a party relating to rents or otherwise in respect of any part of the property hereby charged but without any obligation to exercise any of such powers and without any liability in respect of powers so exercised or omitted to be exercised; |
| (i) | to appoint managers, accountants, lawyers, agents, officers, servants and workmen for any of the aforesaid purposes at such salaries or remuneration and for such periods and upon such terms as he or they may determine; and |
| (j) | to sign any document, execute any deed and do all such other acts and things as may be considered to be incidental or conducive to any of the matters and powers aforesaid and which he may and can lawfully do as agent for the Chargor. |
11.2 | All money received by such Receiver or by the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any powers conferred by this Deed shall be applied after the discharge of any taxes or the remuneration and expenses of such Receiver and all liabilities having priority thereto in or towards satisfaction of such of the moneys, obligations and liabilities hereby secured and in such order as the Collateral Agent in its absolute discretion may from time to time conclusively determine. |
11.3 | A Receiver appointed by the Collateral Agent shall be the agent of the Chargor and the Chargor shall alone be solely responsible and liable for his acts, defaults or remuneration. |
11.4 | Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Receiver shall be liable to account as mortgagee in possession in respect of all or any of the property charged hereby nor be liable for any loss upon realisation or for any neglect or default or omission of any nature whatsoever for which a mortgagee in possession might be liable. |
11.5 | No purchaser, chargor or chargee or other person or company dealing with the Collateral Agent or with any Receiver appointed by it or with its or his, attorneys or agents shall be bound or concerned to see or enquire whether the powers exercised or purported to be exercised have become exercisable or whether any money remains due actually or contingently on the security of this Deed or as to the necessity or expediency of the stipulations and conditions subject to which any sale shall have been made or otherwise as to the propriety or regularity of such sale, calling in, collection or conversion or to see to the application of any money paid to the Collateral Agent and in the absence of mala fides on the part of such purchaser, mortgagor, mortgagee or other person or company such dealing shall be deemed so far as regards the safety and protection of such purchaser, chargor, chargee person or company to be within the powers hereby conferred and to be valid and effectual accordingly. |
12 of 16
11.6 | The Chargor hereby covenants with the Collateral Agent on demand to pay all costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent or by any Receiver appointed by it in the exercise of any powers conferred by this Deed or which they or he shall properly incur in or about the preservation or attempted preservation of this security or of the goodwill, undertaking, property, assets and rights hereby charged with interest at the highest rate payable by the Chargor to the Collateral Agent. |
The Chargor by way of security hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent and the persons deriving title under it and any Receiver appointed hereunder jointly and also severally to be its attorney to execute and complete in favour of the Collateral Agent or its nominees or of any purchaser any documents which the Collateral Agent may require for perfecting its title to or for vesting the Securities or any property, assets or rights hereby charged or agreed to be charged in the Collateral Agent or its nominees or in any purchaser and otherwise generally for it and in its name and on its behalf and as its act and deed or otherwise to execute, seal and deliver and otherwise perfect and do any such legal or other mortgage, charge or assignment as aforesaid and all such deeds, assurances, agreements, instruments, acts and things which may be required for the full exercise of all or any of the powers hereby conferred or which may be deemed proper on or in connection with any sale or other disposition thereof or any of the purposes aforesaid. The Chargor hereby ratifies and confirms and agrees to ratify and confirm any instrument, act or thing which any such attorney may execute or do.
13.1 | This security shall be a continuing security notwithstanding any settlement of account or other matter whatsoever and is in addition to and shall not merge or otherwise prejudice or affect any other right or remedy of the Collateral Agent or the security created by any deposit of documents or any guarantee, lien, pledge, bill, note, mortgage or other security now or hereafter held by or available to the Collateral Agent and shall not be in any way prejudiced or affected thereby or by the invalidity thereof or by the Collateral Agent now or hereafter dealing with, exchanging, releasing, modifying or abstaining from, perfecting or enforcing any of the same or any rights which it may now or hereafter have or giving time for payment or indulgence or compounding with any other person liable. |
13.2 | It shall be lawful for but not obligatory on the Collateral Agent to advance and pay all sums of money necessary for the purpose of remedying any breach or breaches of covenants or obligations whether imposed on the Chargor under the provisions of this Deed or any collateral or additional charges or securities hereto or implied by law and all monies so paid and all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in relation to any payment or act by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent shall be repayable on demand and in addition to the other monies hereby secured and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. |

14.1 | All moneys received or held by the Collateral Agent or by a Receiver under this Deed may from time to time after demand has been made by the Collateral Agent be converted into such other currency as the Collateral Agent considers necessary or desirable to cover the obligations and liabilities (actual or contingent) of the Chargor in that other currency at the then prevailing spot rate of exchange of the Collateral Agent (as conclusively determined by the Collateral Agent) for purchasing that other currency with the existing currency. |
14.2 | Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Receiver shall be liable to the Chargor for any loss resulting from any fluctuation in exchange rates before or after the exercise of any of the powers under this Deed. |
14.3 | No payment to the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent shall have received payment in full in the currency in which such obligation or liability was incurred and to the extent that the amount of any such payment shall on actual conversion into such currency fall short of such obligation or liability (actual or contingent) expressed in that currency, the Collateral Agent shall have a further separate cause of action against the Chargor and shall be entitled to enforce the charges hereby created to recover the amount of the shortfall. |
The Chargor hereby agrees to indemnify both the Collateral Agent and any Receiver against all losses, actions, claims, expenses, demands and liabilities whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise now or hereafter incurred by it or him or by any manager, officer, director or employee for whose liability, act or omission it or he may be answerable, responsible or liable for anything done or omitted in the exercise or purported exercise of the powers herein contained or occasioned by any breach by the Chargor or any of its covenants or other obligations to the Collateral Agent. The Chargor shall so indemnify the Collateral Agent and any such Receiver on demand and shall pay interest on the sums demanded at the Default Rate.
16.1 | Any statutory or other powers of granting or agreeing to grant or of accepting or agreeing to accept surrenders of leases or tenancies of the property hereby charged or any part thereof shall not during the continuance of this security be capable of being exercised by the Chargor without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. |
16.2 | No neglect, omission or forbearance on the part of the Collateral Agent to take advantage of or enforce any right or remedy arising out of any breach or non-observance or any covenant or condition herein or in any collateral or additional charges or securities hereto contained or implied shall be deemed to be or operate as a general waiver of such covenant or condition or the right to enforce or take advantage of the same in respect of any breach or non-observance thereof either original or recurring. |
14 of 16
16.3 | Each of the provisions of this Deed is severable and distinct from the others and if at any time one or more of such provisions is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and unenforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. |
16.4 | Any demand or notice hereunder may, without prejudice to any other effective mode of making the same, be deemed to have been properly and effectively made, given and served to and on the Chargor at any time by a letter sent to them by registered post addressed to its registered office and signed by the Collateral Agent or any manager, officer, director, secretary, attorney, agent or lawyer on its behalf and every such demand or notice posted in the Cayman Islands shall be deemed to have been given and served on the day following the posting thereof. Any such notice or demand or any certificate as to the amount at any time secured hereby shall be conclusive and binding upon the Chargor if signed by an officer of the Collateral Agent. |
16.5 | The Chargor shall pay all stamp duty to which this Deed may at any time be subject and shall on demand indemnify the Collateral Agent against any losses resulting from any failure to pay or delay in paying the same. |
This Deed shall be governed and construed solely according to the laws of the Cayman Islands and the parties hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the Cayman Islands.
