7ENFORCEMENT OF SECURITY

7.1Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the security hereby constituted shall become immediately enforceable and the Lender may, at any time, without notice to, or consultation with, or the consent of, the Chargor:

(d)

sell, transfer, grant options over or otherwise dispose of the Charged Property or any part thereof at such place and in such manner and at such price or prices as the Lender may deem fit, and thereupon the Lender shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer in accordance therewith the Charged Property so sold, transferred, granted options over or otherwise disposed of; and/or

(e)

complete any undated blank share transfer forms of all or any part of the Charged Property by dating the same and/or inserting its name or the name of its nominee as transferee.

7.2The Lender shall not be obliged to make any enquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it under this Charge or to make any claim or to take any action to collect any moneys assigned by this Charge or to enforce any rights or benefits assigned to the Lender by this Charge or to which the Lender may at any time be entitled hereunder.

7.3Upon any sale of the Charged Property or any part thereof by the Lender the purchaser shall not be bound to see or enquire whether the Lender’s power of sale has become exercisable in the manner provided in this Charge and the sale shall be deemed to be within the power of the Lender, and the receipt of the Lender for the purchase money shall effectively discharge the purchaser who shall not be concerned with the manner of application of the proceeds of sale or be in any way answerable therefor.

7.4All moneys received by the Lender pursuant to this Charge shall be held by it upon trust and shall be applied in the manner provided for in Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement.

9.3 The Chargor shall provide such assurances and do all acts and things the Receiver may in his absolute discretion require for the purpose of exercising the powers (or giving effect to the exercise of the powers) conferred on the Receiver hereunder and the Chargor hereby irrevocably appoints the Receiver to be the lawful attorney in fact of the Chargor to do any act or thing and to exercise all the powers of the Chargor for the purpose of exercising the powers (or giving effect to the exercise of the powers) conferred on the Receiver hereunder.

10INDEMNITIES

10.1The Chargor will indemnify and save harmless the Lender, the Receiver and each agent or attorney appointed under or pursuant to this Charge from and against any and all expenses, claims, liabilities, losses, taxes, costs, duties, fees and charges properly and reasonably suffered, incurred or made by the Lender, the Receiver or such agent or attorney:

in the exercise or purported exercise of any rights, powers or discretions vested in them pursuant to this Charge or by law;

provided that, unless and until the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the Lender may not exercise any powers pursuant to this appointment.    

11.2The power hereby conferred shall be a general power of attorney and 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.  In relation to the power referred to herein, the exercise by the Lender of such power shall be conclusive evidence of its right to exercise the same.

14.2The Chargor may not assign or transfer all or any part of its rights and/or obligations under this Charge without the prior written consent of the Lender.

14.3The Lender may assign or transfer all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Charge to any assignee or transferee and shall notify the Chargor promptly following any such assignment or transfer.

15RELEASE

15.1Upon the Lender being satisfied that the Non-U.S. Obligations have been unconditionally and irrevocably paid and discharged in full, and following a written request therefor from the Chargor, the Lender will, subject to being indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction for the costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection therewith, release the security constituted by this Charge.

15.2Any settlement or discharge under this Charge between the Lender and the Chargor shall be conditional upon no security or payment to the Lender by the Company or the Chargor or any other person being avoided or set-aside or ordered to be refunded or reduced by virtue of any provision or enactment relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, administration or liquidation for the time being in force and, if such condition is not satisfied, the Lender shall be entitled to recover from the Chargor on demand the value of such security or the amount of any such payment as if such settlement or discharge had not occurred.

15.3Any receipt, release or discharge of any Security Interest created by this Charge or of any liability arising under this Charge may be given by the Lender in accordance with the provisions of this Charge and shall not release or discharge the Chargor from any liability owed to the Lender for the same or any other monies which may exist independently of this Charge.  Where such receipt, release or discharge relates to only part of the Non-U.S. Obligations such receipt, release or discharge shall not prejudice or affect any other part of the Non-U.S. Obligations or any of the rights and remedies of the Lender under this Charge or any of the obligations of the Chargor under this Charge.

21

 


 

 

15.4 The Lender shall, following the release of the Security Interest and discharge of the obligations of the Chargor under this Charge, provide written confirmation of such release and discharge to the Chargor.

15.4The security constituted by this Charge shall be continuing and shall not be considered as satisfied or discharged by any intermediate payment or settlement of the whole or any part of the Non-U.S. Obligations or any other matter or thing whatsoever and shall be binding until all the Non-U.S. Obligations have been unconditionally and irrevocably paid and discharged in full in accordance with the terms of this Charge.

15.5 This Charge is in addition to and shall not merge with or otherwise prejudice or affect any banker’s lien, right to combine and consolidate accounts, right of set-off or other contractual or other right or remedy, or any guarantee, lien, pledge, bill, note, charge or other security now or hereafter held by or available to the Lender.

16.

CURRENCY

16.1

For the purpose of, or pending the discharge of, any of the Non-U.S. Obligations, the Lender may, in its sole discretion, convert any moneys received, recovered, or realised in any currency under this Charge (including the proceeds of any previous conversion under this Clause) from their existing currency or denomination into any other at such rate or rate of exchange and at such time as the Lender thinks fit.

16.2

No payment to the Lender (whether under any judgment of a court or otherwise) shall discharge the Non-U.S. Obligations in respect of which it was made unless and until the Lender shall have received payment in full in the currency in which such Non-U.S. Obligations were incurred and, to the extent that the amount of any such payment shall on actual conversion into such currency fall short of such Non-U.S. Obligations expressed in that currency, the Lender shall have a further separate cause of action against the Chargor and shall be entitled to enforce that cause of action and this Charge to recover the amount of the shortfall. 

17.MISCELLANEOUS

17.1The Lender, at any time and from time to time, may delegate by power of attorney or in any other manner to any person or persons all or any of the powers, authorities and discretions which are for the time being exercisable by the Lender under this Charge in relation to the Charged Property or any part thereof.  Any such delegation may be made upon such terms and be subject to such regulations as the Lender may think fit.  The Lender shall not 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 provided the Lender has acted reasonably in selecting such delegate.

17.2All sums payable by the Chargor under this Charge shall be paid without any set off,

22

 


 

 

counterclaim, withholding or deduction whatsoever unless required by law in which event the Chargor will, simultaneously with making the relevant payment under this Charge, pay to the Lender such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Lender of the full amount which would otherwise have been receivable and will supply the Lender promptly with evidence satisfactory to the Lender that the Chargor has accounted to the relevant authority for the sum withheld or deducted.

17.3No delay or omission on the part of the Lender in exercising any right or remedy under this Charge shall impair that right or remedy or operate as or be taken to be a waiver of it nor shall any single, partial or defective exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise under this Charge of that or any other right or remedy.

17.4The Lender’s rights, powers and remedies under this Charge are cumulative and are not, nor are they to be construed as, exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies provided by law or otherwise and may be exercised from time to time and as often as the Lender deems expedient.

17.5If at any time any one or more of the provisions of this Charge is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Charge nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall be in any way affected or impaired as a result.

17.6Any statement, certificate or determination of the Lender as to the Non-U.S. Obligations or (without limitation) any other matter provided for in this Charge shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Chargor.

17.7The Chargor shall at all times maintain an agent for service of process in the Cayman Islands.  Such agent shall be the Company, with an address of c/o the offices of Maples Corporate Services Limited, Ugland House, South Church Street, PO Box 309, Grand Cayman KY1-1104, Cayman Islands, and any writ, judgment or other notice of legal process shall be sufficiently served on the Chargor if delivered to such agent at its address set out above.  The Chargor undertakes not to revoke any authority of above agent and if, for any reason, such agent no longer serves as agent of the Chargor to receive service of process the Chargor shall promptly appoint another such agent and advise the Lender of the new agent’s name and address for service.

17.8The Chargor shall be deemed to be a principal debtor and the sole, original and independent obligor for the Non-U.S. Obligations and the Security Interest created by this Charge shall be deemed to be a principal security for the Non-U.S. Obligations.  The liability of the Chargor under this Charge 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 Loan Documents in whole or in part, including without limitation

23

 


 

 

and whether or not known to the Chargor, the lender or any other person any variation (however fundamental and whether or not involving any increase in the liability of the Chargor or any other obligor thereunder) or replacement of any Loan Documents or any other document or security so that the Chargor’s obligations under this Charge remain in full force and effect and that this Charge shall be construed accordingly as if there were no such circumstance, act, omission, matter or thing.

17.9 This Charge, including its Schedules, contains the whole agreement between the Parties in respect of the subject matter of this Charge. 

17.10No variations of this Charge shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by each of the Parties.

17.11The headings in this Charge are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Charge.

17.12This Charge may be executed in counterparts each of which when executed and delivered shall constitute an original but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

17.13If any of the clauses, sub-clauses, conditions, covenants or restrictions of this Charge or any deed or document emanating from it shall be found to be void but would be valid if some part thereof were deleted or modified, then such clause, sub-clause, condition, covenant or restriction shall apply with such deletion or modification as may be necessary to make it valid and effective.

17.14Sections 8 and 19(3) of the Electronic Transactions Law (2003 Revision) of the Cayman Islands shall not apply to this Charge.      

18LAW AND JURISDICTION

18.1This Charge shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and the Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Cayman Islands, provided that nothing in this Clause shall affect the right of the Lender to serve process in any manner permitted by law or limit the right of the Lender to take proceedings with respect to this Charge against the Chargor in any jurisdiction nor shall the taking of proceedings with respect to this Charge in any jurisdiction preclude the Lender from taking proceedings with respect to this Charge in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.

IN WITNESS whereof the Parties have caused this Charge to be duly executed (as a Deed in the case of the Chargor) and delivered the day and year first before written.
