“Related Intellectual Property”:

 

  (a) all patents, trademarks, service marks, design rights and all other registered or unregistered intellectual property rights;

 

  (b) any applications for intellectual property rights and the benefit of any priority dates attaching to such applications and all benefits deriving from intellectual property rights, including royalties, fees, profit sharing agreements and income from licences;


(c) all copyrights (including rights in software), source codes, brand names and other similar intellectual property rights;

“Security Assets”: all the assets of MIC-UK which from time to time are the subject of any security created or expressed to be created in favour of the Security Trustee by or pursuant to this Deed;

 

2. Covenant to Pay

 

Covenant to Pay

 

2.1 MIC-UK covenants with the Security Trustee (as trustee for the Finance Parties) that it will pay, perform and discharge the Secured Liabilities as and when the same fall due for payment, performance or discharge in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents.

 

Interest

 

2.2 MIC-UK covenants with the Security Trustee to pay interest on any amounts not paid when due under Clause 2.1 (Covenant to Pay) from day to day until full discharge (whether before or after judgment, liquidation, winding-up or administration of MIC-UK) at the rate and in the manner specified in clause 12 (Default Interest) of the Common Terms Deed.

 

3. Floating Charges

 

Creation of Floating Charge

 

3.1 MIC-UK, as security for the payment, performance and discharge of all the Secured Liabilities, charges in favour of the Security Trustee (as trustee for the Finance Parties) by way of a first floating charge:

 

  3.1.1 all present and future Inventory;

 

  3.1.2 all present and future Related Intellectual Property; and

 

  3.1.3 all present and future Non-Vesting Receivables and the Ancillary Rights pertaining thereto.

 

2


Conversion by Notice

 

3.2 If an Event of Default has occurred and while the same is continuing then the Security Trustee may by notice in writing at any time to MIC-UK convert the floating charges created by Clause 3.1 (Creation of Floating Charge) with immediate effect into a fixed charge (either generally or specifically) as regards any assets of MIC-UK specified in the notice

 

Automatic Conversion

 

3.3 Notwithstanding Clause 3.2 (Conversion by Notice) and without prejudice to any law which may have a similar effect, the floating charge created by Clause 3.1 (Creation of Floating Charge) will automatically be converted (without notice) with immediate effect into a fixed charge as regards all of the undertaking and assets subject to that floating charge if:

 

  3.3.1 any Encumbrance over the Security Assets securing Financial Indebtedness in excess of £500,000 (or equivalent in any other jurisdiction) becomes enforceable and any step is taken to enforce the Encumbrance and such circumstance adversely affects the Collateral or materially impairs the collectability of a materal part of the Receivables; or

 

  3.3.2 any corporate action or other steps are taken or legal or other proceedings are started for the winding-up, administration, receivership, dissolution or re-organisation or for the appointment of a receiver, administrator, administrative receiver, trustee or similar officer of MIC-UK or of any or all of MIC-UK’s assets other than in respect of (a) a winding for the purposes of a bona fide, solvent scheme of reconstruction or amalgamation previously approved in writing by the Agent and (b) a petition for winding up which MIC-UK has satisfied the Agent is vexatious, groundless or an abuse of process or is being contested in good faith and on reasonable grounds and which is struck out or discharged before being advertised or otherwise becoming public knowledge.

 

4. Further advances

 

The Security Trustee, as agent for the Finance Parties, covenants with MIC-UK that the Finance Parties will perform their respective obligations to make advances under the Revolving Credit Agreement (including any obligation to make available further advances) and to make or, as the case may be, participate in, payments of Initial Consideration under the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

 

5. Further Assurance

 

Further Assurance

 

5.1 MIC-UK shall, at its own expense, take whatever reasonable action the Security Trustee or any Receiver may, acting in good faith, reasonably require for:

 

  5.1.1 preserving, perfecting or protecting any Security Asset or the security constituted or intended to be constituted by this Deed over any Security Asset;

 

  5.1.2 facilitating the realisation of any Security Asset; and/or

 

  5.1.3 facilitating the exercise of all rights, powers and remedies of the Security Trustee or any Receiver or Delegate provided by or pursuant to this Deed or by law in respect of any Security Asset,

 

3


including, without limitation, the execution of any transfer, conveyance or assignment of all or any of the assets forming part of, or intended to form part of, the Security Assets (whether to the Security Trustee or to its nominee(s)) and the giving of any notice, order or direction and the making of any registration which, in any such case, the Security Trustee may consider in good faith to be reasonably necessary (but for avoidance of doubt in relation to conversion of the floating charge created by Clause 3.1 (Creation of Floating Charge), subject to Clauses 3.2 (Conversion by Notice) and 3.3 (Automatic Crystallisation)).

 

Implied Covenants for Title

 

5.2 Each of the charges granted by MIC-UK under this Deed are granted with full title guarantee in accordance with the Law of Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1994, save that the covenants set out in section 2(1)(a), section 3 and section 4 of that Act shall extend to MIC-UK without, in each case, the benefit of section 6(2) of that Act.

 

6. Undertaking

 

MIC-UK shall not do or cause or permit to be done anything which might in any way depreciate, jeopardise or otherwise prejudice the value to the Security Trustee of the security constituted or intended to be constituted by this Deed, except to the extent expressly permitted by the terms of this Deed or any other Finance Document.

 

7. Enforcement of Security

 

When Security becomes Enforceable

 

7.1 The security constituted by this Deed shall become immediately enforceable and the power of sale and other powers conferred by section 101 of the LPA, as varied or extended by this Deed, shall be immediately exercisable upon and at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default and while the same is continuing.

 

7.2 After the security constituted by this Deed has become enforceable, the Security Trustee may in its absolute discretion enforce all or any part of that security at the times, in the manner and on the terms it thinks fit and take possession of and hold or dispose of all or any part of the Security Assets.

 

Right of Appropriation

 

7.3 To the extent that any of the Security Assets constitute “financial collateral” and this Deed and the obligations of MIC-UK under this Deed 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 (the “Regulations”)), the Security Trustee shall have the right, at any time after the security constituted by this Deed has become enforceable, to appropriate all or any part of such financial collateral in or towards discharge of the Secured Liabilities. For this purpose, the parties agree that the value of such financial collateral shall be (in the case of cash) the amount standing to the credit of each Collection Account, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, at the time the right of appropriation is exercised and (in the case of Securities) the market price of such Securities determined by the Security Trustee by reference to a public index or by such other process as the Security Trustee may select (acting in good faith), including independent valuation. In each case, the parties agree that the manner of valuation provided for in this Clause 7.3 shall constitute a commercially reasonable manner of valuation for the purposes of the Regulations.

Redemption of Prior Mortgages

 

7.4 The Security Trustee may at any time following the security constituted by this Deed becoming enforceable pursuant to Clause 7.1 (When Security becomes Enforceable):

 

  7.4.1 redeem any prior Security Interest against any Security Asset; or

 

  7.4.2 procure the transfer of that Security Interest to itself; or

 

  7.4.3 settle and pass the accounts of the person or persons entitled to such Security Interest (and any accounts so settled and passed shall be conclusive and binding on MIC-UK absent manifest error).

 

7.5 All principal moneys and interest, reasonable out-of-pocket costs, charges and expenses of and incidental to any such redemption or transfer shall be promptly paid by MIC-UK to the Security Trustee following demand and shall be secured by this Deed.

 

8. Extension and Variation of the LPA

 

General

 

8.1 For the purposes of all powers implied by the LPA, such powers shall arise (and the Secured Liabilities shall be deemed to have become due and payable for that purpose) on the date of this Deed; provided that such powers shall not be exercised until the security constituted by this Deed has become enforceable.

 

8.2 Section 103 of the LPA (restricting the power of sale) and section 93 of the LPA (restricting the right of consolidation) shall not apply to the security constituted by this Deed.

 

Privileges

 

8.3 Subject to the limitations set forth in the Finance Documents, each Receiver and the Security Trustee is entitled to all the rights, powers, privileges and immunities conferred by the LPA on mortgagees and receivers; provided that such rights, powers and privileges shall not be exercised until the security constituted by the Deed has become enforceable.

 

9. Appointment of Receiver

 

Appointment

 

9.1 At, and only at, any time after the security constituted by this Deed has become enforceable or if MIC-UK so requests the Security Trustee in writing (in which case, in each such case, the security constituted by this Deed shall become immediately enforceable), the Security Trustee may without prior notice to MIC-UK appoint free from the restrictions imposed by section 109(1) of the LPA either under seal or in writing under its hand any one or more persons to be a Receiver of the whole or any part or parts of the Security Assets in like manner in every respect as if the Security Trustee had become entitled under the LPA to exercise the power of sale conferred under the LPA.

  9.2.1 remove any Receiver appointed by it; and

16. The Security Trustee as Trustee

 

16.1 The Security Trustee hereby declares itself trustee of the security and other rights (including, but not limited to, the benefit of the covenants contained in this Deed), titles and interests constituted by this Deed and of all moneys, property and assets paid to the Security Trustee or to its order or held by the Security Trustee or its nominee(s) or received or recovered by the Security Trustee or its nominee(s) pursuant to or in connection with this Deed with effect from the date of this Deed to hold the same on trust for itself and each of the other Finance Parties absolutely pro rata (save as may otherwise be agreed between the Security Trustee and the other Finance Parties from time to time) to the moneys, obligations and liabilities of MIC-UK owed to all the Finance Parties (including the Security Trustee) from time to time secured by this Deed.

 

16.2 All moneys received by the Security Trustee or any Receiver or Delegate shall be held by it or him upon trust for the Security Trustee and the other Finance Parties according to their respective interests to apply the same in the order specified in Clause 14 (Application of proceeds).

17. Effectiveness of Security

 

Continuing Security

 

17.1 The security constituted by this Deed shall remain in full force and effect as a continuing security, unless and until the trust in this Deed is terminated pursuant to Clause 16 (The Security Trustee as Trustee), and will extend to the ultimate balance of all the Secured Liabilities, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

 

Cumulative Rights

 

17.2 The security constituted by this Deed and all rights, powers and remedies of the Security Trustee provided by or pursuant to this Deed or by law shall be cumulative, in addition to and independent of any other guarantee or security which the Security Trustee or any other Finance Party may at any time hold for the Secured Liabilities or any other obligations or any rights, powers and remedies provided by law.

 

Reinstatement

 

17.3 Where any discharge, whether in respect of the obligations of MIC-UK or any security for those obligations or otherwise, is given or any arrangement is made in whole or in part on the faith of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored on insolvency, liquidation or otherwise, the liability of MIC-UK under this Deed shall continue as if the discharge or arrangement had not occurred.

20. Remedies and Waivers
