2. PAYMENT OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS

2.1 Covenant

The Chargor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, covenants with the Beneficiaries that it will pay or discharge the Secured Obligations on the due date for payment therefor in the manner provided in the relevant Finance Document.

Immediately upon demand, the Chargor shall pay all fees, costs and expenses (including legal fees and any value added tax) incurred from time to time in connection with the enforcement of or preservation of rights under this Debenture by the Agent, or any Receiver, attorney, manager, trustee or any other person appointed by the Agent under this Debenture or by statute.

3. CHARGING PROVISIONS

3.1 Specific Charges

Subject to Clause 3.4, the Chargor with full title guarantee and as a continuing security for the payment, performance and discharge of the Secured Obligations hereby charges in favour of the Agent (or, if the Agent so chooses, its nominee) for the benefit of the Beneficiaries all of its rights, title and interest in and to the following assets, both present and future, from time to time owned by it or in which it has an interest:

(c) by way of first fixed charge:

(iii) its goodwill and its uncalled share capital both present and future;

3.2 Floating Charge

The Chargor with full title guarantee and as a continuing security for the payment, performance and discharge of the Secured Obligations hereby charges to the Agent for the benefit of the Beneficiaries by way of first floating charge all of its undertakings, property, assets and rights (including its Inventory and Equipment), whatsoever and wheresoever, both present and future (save insofar as any of the same shall for the time being be effectively mortgaged or charged by way of first fixed charge under the provisions of Clause 3.1 or assigned by way of security under the provisions of Clause 3.3). The floating charge created by the Chargor pursuant to this clause 3.2 is a “qualifying floating charge” for the purposes of paragraph 14.2(a) of Schedule B1 of the Insolvency Act 1986 and paragraph 14 of Schedule B1 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies to this Debenture.

3.3 Assignments by way of Security

Subject to Clause 3.4, the Chargor with full title guarantee and as a continuing security for the payment, performance and discharge of the Secured Obligations hereby assigns absolutely (in each case to the fullest extent capable of assignment) by way of security to the Agent for the benefit of the Beneficiaries all of its present and future rights, title and interest in and to:

(a) the proceeds of the Policies;

(b) the Receivables;

(d) the Related Rights; and

3.4 Removal of Impediments to Charges and Assignments

To the extent that:

and upon written notice served upon the Chargor by the Agent, the Chargor shall use its best endeavours as soon as reasonably practicable to obtain any relevant consent to such assignment or charge or to otherwise render the same capable of assignment or charge and, pending such interest becoming capable of assignment or charge, the charge purported to be created by Clause 3.1 or the assignment purported to be effected by Clause 3.3 (as the case may be) shall, without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 3.1(c)(ix) in relation to Receivables, only operate as a charge or an assignment (as the case may be) by way of continuing security of any and all proceeds, damages, compensation, remuneration, profit, rent or income which the Chargor may derive therefrom or be awarded or entitled to in respect thereof, in each case as continuing security for the payment, discharge and performance of the Secured Obligations. Forthwith upon receipt of the relevant consent, the relevant right, title or interest shall stand charged or assigned to the Agent under Clause 3.1 or 3.3 (as the case may be) and the Chargor will, if required by the Agent, forthwith execute a valid fixed charge or legal assignment (as the case may be) in such form as the Agent shall require but on terms no more onerous that this Debenture.

The Agent may from time to time remove any Receiver appointed by it and, in the case of an administrative receiver, may at any time and from time to time apply to the court for removal of any administrative receiver appointed by it and may, whenever it may deem it expedient, appoint or as the case may be apply to the court for the appointment of another qualified person as a new Receiver in place of any Receiver whose appointment may for any reason have terminated.

10.8 Application of Proceeds

Any Receiver shall (so far as the law allows) apply all monies received by him in the following order:

10.9 Administrator

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this clause are without prejudice to the Agent’s rights to appoint an administrator pursuant to paragraph 14 of Schedule B1 of the Insolvency Act 1986 with all the powers conferred on administrators under the Insolvency Act 1986.

11. VARIATION AND EXTENSION OF STATUTORY POWERS

11.1 Statutory Powers Generally

The powers conferred on mortgagees or receivers (including administrative receivers) by the Act and the Insolvency Act 1986 shall apply to this Debenture except insofar as they are expressly or impliedly excluded and where there is any ambiguity or conflict between the powers contained in the Act and/or the Insolvency Act 1986 and those contained in this Debenture the terms of this Debenture shall (so far as the law allows) prevail.

11.2 Agent’s Powers

The restrictions contained in sections 93 and 103 of the Act shall not apply to the Security and the power of sale and other powers contained in section 101 of the Act and all other enforcement powers conferred in this Debenture shall be immediately exercisable at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default and shall be varied and extended so that the Agent shall at any such time be entitled (without prejudice to any other rights or powers of a mortgagee) to exercise any of the powers conferred upon a Receiver by Clause 10 and shall have the benefit of all the provisions of Clause 10.

11.3 Mortgagee in Possession

It is agreed and declared that no exercise (whether by the Agent or any Receiver) of any of the powers contained in this Debenture shall render the Agent or any Receiver liable as mortgagee in possession in respect of any of the Collateral or liable for any loss or damage (including, without limitation, loss upon realisation of any of the Collateral) save where caused by gross negligence or wilful default on the part of the Agent or any Receiver.

11.4 Protection for Third Parties

No person (including a purchaser) dealing with the Agent, any Receiver or any of their respective agents will be concerned to enquire:

(a) whether the Secured Obligations have become payable; or

(c) whether any money remains due under the Finance Documents; or

(d) how any money paid to the Agent or any Receiver is to be applied.

In the absence of bad faith on the part of such purchaser or other person, such dealings shall be deemed, so far as regards the safety and protection of such purchaser or other person, to be within the powers conferred by this Debenture and to be valid accordingly. The remedy of the Chargor in respect of any impropriety or irregularity in the exercise of such power shall be in damages only.

11.5 Delegation

The Agent or any Receiver may at any time on giving prior written notice to the Chargor delegate by power of attorney or in any other manner to any person or persons any of the powers (including the power of attorney contained in Clause 13.1), authorities and discretions which are for the time being exercisable by the Agent or any Receiver under this Debenture in relation to the Collateral. Any such delegation may be made upon such terms (including power to sub-delegate) and subject to such regulations as the Agent or Receiver may think fit. Neither the Agent nor any Receiver shall be in any way liable or responsible to the Chargor for any loss or damage arising from any act, default, omission or misconduct on the part of any such delegate or sub-delegate.

11.6 Suspense Accounts

The Agent and any Receiver may at any time and from time to time place and keep (for such time as it or he shall consider prudent) any monies received, recovered or realised from the Chargor or in relation to any Collateral pursuant to this Debenture in a separate suspense account (to the credit of either the Chargor or the Agent as the Agent shall think fit) without any intermediate obligation on its part to apply the same or any part thereof in or towards the discharge of the Secured Obligations provided that if such monies are at any time sufficient to discharge the Secured Obligations in full, they shall be promptly so applied.

11.7 Agent’s Power to Remedy Breaches

If at any time the Chargor fails to perform any of the covenants contained in this Debenture it shall be lawful for the Agent, but the Agent shall have no obligation, to take such action on behalf of the Chargor (including, without limitation, the payment of money) as may in the Agent’s reasonable opinion be required to ensure that such covenants are performed. Any losses, costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Agent in taking such action shall be reimbursed by the Chargor immediately on written demand.

12. CONTINUATION AND PRESERVATION OF SECURITY

12.1 Subsequent Liens

If the Agent or any other Beneficiary receives, or is deemed to be affected by, notice, whether actual or constructive, of any Lien (other than a Lien which is permitted under the terms of the Finance Documents) affecting the Collateral and/or the proceeds of sale thereof, the Agent or such other Beneficiary may open a new account or accounts for the Chargor in its books. If the Agent or such other Beneficiary does not open a new account, it shall nevertheless be treated as if it had done so at the time when it received or was deemed to have received notice (unless it gives express notice to the contrary to the Chargor). As from that time all payments made to the Agent or such other Beneficiary will (in the absence of any express appropriation to the contrary) be credited or be treated as having been credited to the new account and will not operate to reduce the Secured Obligations.

12.2 Waiver of defences

The Chargor shall be deemed to be a principal debtor and the sole, original and independent obligor for the Secured Obligations and the Collateral shall be deemed to be a principal security for the Secured Obligations. The liability of the Chargor under this Debenture shall not be discharged, impaired or otherwise affected by any circumstance, act, omission, matter or thing which but for this provision might operate to reduce, release, prejudice or otherwise exonerate the Chargor from its obligations under the Finance Documents in whole or in part, including without limitation and whether or not known to any Obligor, the Agent or any other person:

so that the Chargor’s obligations under this Debenture remain in full force and effect and that this Debenture shall be construed accordingly as if there were no such circumstance, act, omission, matter or thing.

12.3 Immediate recourse

The Chargor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Agent (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security in respect of the Secured Obligations or claim payment from any person before enforcing the Security. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or provision of the Finance Documents to the contrary.

12.4 Non-competition

Subject as provided below, until the Agent is satisfied that all of the Secured Obligations have been unconditionally and irrevocably paid and discharged in full in cash, the Chargor shall not, by virtue of any payment made, security realised or moneys received or recovered under any of the Finance Documents for or on account of the liability of any Obligor:

The Chargor shall hold in trust for and forthwith pay or transfer to the Agent for the benefit of the Beneficiaries any payment or distribution or benefit of security received by it contrary to the above. If the Chargor exercises any right of set-off contrary to the above it will forthwith pay an amount equal to the amount set off to the Agent for the benefit of the Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following any enforcement of the Collateral by the Agent under this Debenture, the Chargor will (at its own cost) promptly take such steps or actions as are referred to above as the Agent may from time to time stipulate.

12.5 Security held by the Chargor

The Chargor warrants that it has not taken, and agrees that it will not take, from any other Obligor or any person party to any related security any Lien, guarantee, indemnity, bond or other assurance in respect of or in connection with its obligations under this Debenture. If the Chargor takes any such Lien, guarantee, indemnity, bond or other assurance in contravention of this Clause, it shall hold it on trust for the Beneficiaries until such time as all of the Secured Obligations have been satisfied in full (and the Beneficiaries are not under any further obligation, actual or contingent, to any Obligor) and shall on request promptly deposit the same with and/or charge the same to the Beneficiaries in such manner as the Agent may require as security for the due and punctual payment, performance and discharge by the Chargor of the Secured Obligations.

12.6 Continuing Security

The Security constituted by this Debenture shall be a continuing security and will extend to the ultimate balance of the Secured Obligations notwithstanding any interim or intermediate payment, discharge or settlement of account or other matter whatsoever and is in addition to and shall not merge with or otherwise prejudice or affect (or be prejudiced or affected by) the security constituted by any Lien, guarantee or other assurance now or hereafter held by the Agent or any right or remedy of the Agent in respect of the same and shall not be in any way prejudiced or affected by the invalidity thereof, or by the 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. POWER OF ATTORNEY

13.1 Appointment

The Chargor, by way of security, hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent and the persons deriving title under it and separately any Receiver jointly or severally to be its attorney or attorneys for them (with full power of substitution and delegation) and in the name and on behalf and as its act and deed to sign, seal, execute, deliver, perfect and do all deeds, instruments, acts and things which may be required:

The provisions of this Clause 13.1 shall take effect as and by way of variation to the provisions of sections 109(6) and 109(8) of the Act which provisions as so varied and extended shall be deemed incorporated in this Debenture as if they related to a receiver of the Collateral and not merely a receiver of the income thereof.

13.2 Ratification

The Chargor covenants with the Agent and separately with any Receiver that, on request, it will ratify and confirm all security agreements, documents and acts and all transactions entered into by the Agent or any Receiver (or by the Chargor at the instance of the Agent or any Receiver) in the exercise or purported exercise of its or his powers set out in this Debenture and the Chargor irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that the power of attorney contained in Clause 13.1 is given to secure the proprietary interest of, and the performance of obligations owed to, the respective donees within the meaning of the Powers of Attorney Act 1971.

14. INDEMNITIES

14.1 General

The Chargor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees as primary obligor and not merely as surety to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent (and its nominees), each other Beneficiary from time to time and any Receiver on demand against all losses, actions, claims, expenses, demands or liabilities whether in contract, tort or otherwise now or hereafter incurred by any of them or by any of their respective managers, agents, officers or employees occasioned by any breach by the Chargor of any of its covenants or other obligations under this Debenture or otherwise arising out of or in connection with the Collateral or the Security.

14.2 Taxes

The Chargor agrees to indemnify the Agent, each other Beneficiary and any Receiver on demand against all present or future stamp or other taxes or duties and any penalties or interest with respect thereto which may be imposed by any competent authority in connection with the execution or enforcement of this Debenture or in consequence of any payment made pursuant hereto being impeached or declared void for any reason whatsoever.

15. WAIVERS AND REMEDIES

15.1 Waivers

No failure or delay by any Beneficiary (or the Agent on their behalf) in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or any partial exercise or waiver of any right or remedy preclude its further exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy as though no waiver had been made and no relaxation or indulgence granted. The rights and remedies provided in this Debenture are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

15.2 Severability

If any provision of this Debenture shall be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall be ineffective only to such extent and in the relevant jurisdiction, without invalidating the remainder of this Debenture.

16. REINSTATEMENT AND RELEASE

16.1 Reinstatement

Any settlement or discharge under this Debenture between the Chargor and the Agent or the Beneficiaries (or any of them) shall be conditional upon no security or payment to the Agent or the Beneficiaries (or any of them) by any Obligor or the Chargor or any other person on behalf of any Obligor or, as the case may be, the Chargor being avoided or set aside or ordered to be refunded or reduced by or pursuant to any applicable law or regulation and, if such condition is not satisfied, the Agent and/or the Beneficiaries shall be entitled to recover from the Chargor on demand the value of any such security or the amount of any such payment as if such settlement or discharge had not occurred.

16.2 Release

Once all the Secured Obligations have been paid in full in cash and neither the Agent nor any other Beneficiary has any contingent liability to advance further monies to, or incur liability on behalf of, the Chargor or any other Obligor, the Agent and each other Beneficiary shall, at the request and cost of the Chargor, take any action which may be necessary to release, discharge and reassign the Collateral from the Security.

17. DECLARATION OF TRUST

The Agent hereby declares that it holds the security constituted by this Debenture as a trustee for and on behalf of the Beneficiaries on the basis of the duties, obligations and responsibilities set out in the Collateral Agency Agreement and shall have no implied duties, obligations or responsibilities (including without limitation but only to the extent permitted by law any duties, obligations or responsibilities provided for pursuant to the terms of the Trustee Act 2000 or otherwise). The proceeds of any enforcement of the security constituted by this Debenture shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Subscription Agreement and the Collateral Agency Agreement.

18. CURRENCY

Any amount received or recovered by the Agent for the benefit of the Beneficiaries in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Chargor under this Debenture in a currency other than the currency (the “contractual currency”) in which such sum is so expressed to be due (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, any judgment or order of a court or tribunal of any jurisdiction, the winding-up of the Chargor or otherwise) shall only constitute a discharge to the Chargor to the extent of the amount of the contractual currency that the Agent is able, in accordance with its usual practice, to purchase with the amount of the currency so received or recovered on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if later, the first date on which such purchase is practicable). If the amount of the contractual currency so purchased is less than the amount of the contractual currency so expressed to be due the Chargor shall fully indemnify the Agent against any loss sustained by it as a result, including the cost of making any such purchase.

19. LAND REGISTRY

Wherever any application shall be made to note this Debenture in the charges register relating to the title to any registered land of the Chargor which shall be the subject of any of the charges constituted by this Debenture the parties hereto apply and agree to apply to H.M. Land Registry for the following entry to be made on the register of the Chargor’s title relating to any such registered land:

“No disposition or other dealing by the proprietor of the land is to be registered or noted on the register without the consent of the proprietor for the time being of the charge referred to in entry no. [?] of the Charges Register”.

20. NOTICES
