8



 

3.1.1                     the Administrative Agent determines, after consultation with the Chargor that granting such Security would:

 

(a)                                  violate the law of the jurisdiction in which the Charged Assets are located or the law of the jurisdiction where the person owning such asset or property is organised;

 

(b)                                 violate the terms of any material contract binding on the Chargor,  (but only to the extent that the restrictions in all such contracts, taken as a whole, do not materially limit the Charged Assets that would otherwise be pledged pursuant to the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and Section 5.13(c) of the Credit Agreement to secure the Obligations); or

 

(c)                                  result in a material adverse tax consequence to the Chargor; or

 

3.1.2                     the Administrative Agent shall determine that the cost to the Chargor of granting and perfecting such security interest would be excessive in view of the related benefits to be received by it.

 

3.2                               Ranking

3.2.1                     behind all the fixed Charges created by the Chargor; but

3.3                               Conversion by notice

 

The Administrative Agent may convert the floating Charge created pursuant to Clause 3.1 (Creation) over all or any of the Charged Assets into a fixed Charge by notice to the Chargor specifying the relevant Charged Assets (either generally or specifically):

3.3.3                     upon and at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

 

9



 

3.4                               Automatic conversion

3.4.1                     the Chargor takes any step to create any Security in breach of Clause 4.1 (Security) over any of the Charged Assets not subject to a fixed Charge;

 

3.4.2                     any person takes any step to effect any expropriation, attachment, sequestration, distress or execution against any of those Charged Assets;

 

3.4.3                     a resolution is passed or an order is made for the Winding-up of the Chargor; or

 

3.4.4                     any person (who is entitled to do so) gives notice of its intention to appoint a judicial manager to the Chargor or files such a notice with the court,

 

the floating Charge over the relevant Charged Assets shall automatically and immediately be converted into a fixed Charge without notice.

 

3.5                               De-crystallisation

 

Subject to no Winding-up having occurred in relation to the Chargor and no other Event of Default continuing, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole discretion (acting reasonably), at any time after the floating Charge created pursuant to Clause 3.1 (Creation) over any Charged Asset becomes fixed under Clause 3.4 (Automatic conversion), upon the written request of the Chargor and by written notice to the Chargor, reconvert the fixed Charge into a floating Charge in relation to the Charged Assets specified in that notice.

[Policy Number [                  ]] [(the “Insurances”)]

 

Seagate Singapore International Headquarters Pte. Ltd. (the “Chargor”) hereby gives you notice that, by an assignment contained in a Debenture (the “Debenture”) dated 25 September 2009 entered into between the Chargor and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Administrative Agent”), the Chargor assigned, by way of security to the Administrative Agent (subject to a provision for re-assignment), all its present and future right, title and interest in and to the insurances, details of which are set out in the attached schedule (the “Insurances”) including all claims under the Insurances and the proceeds of those claims and any return of premiums.

 

1.                                       Insurances Other Than Third Party Insurance

 

After receipt of a notice from the Administrative Agent addressed to you indicating that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (a “Default Notice”), all moneys payable by you to the Chargor in respect of the Insurances other than third party Insurances shall be paid to, or to the order of, the Administrative Agent.

 

42



 

2.                                       Third Party Liability Insurance

 

Subject to any applicable legislation and despite the assignments referred to above, all sums in respect of any claim under any third party Insurance by an insured party shall be paid:

 

2.1                                 directly to the person whose claim(s) constitute(s) the risk or liability insured against, provided that such person has executed a discharge of all claims against each insured party in respect of the risk or liability in relation to which the claim was made; or

 

2.2                                 (despite any policy term to the contrary) to the extent that insurers accept liability to indemnify the insured party in respect of the claims or liabilities which the insured party has settled directly with the claimant, to the relevant insured party, unless the insured party is the Chargor, in which case those sums shall be paid in the same manner as described in paragraph 1 above.

 

3.                                       Who to deal with

 

3.1                                 Despite the assignment, you shall continue to treat the Chargor and the Administrative Agent as entitled to make and deal with claims under the Insurances unless and until you are notified by the Administrative Agent that the security created by the Debenture has become enforceable.

 

3.2                                 After receiving notice from the Administrative Agent that the security created by the Debenture has become enforceable, you shall treat the Administrative Agent as the only person entitled to make and deal with claims under the Insurances.

 

4.                                       Notices

 

You are entitled to rely without enquiry on any notice given to you by the Administrative Agent that the security created by the Debenture has become enforceable.

 

5.                                       Chargor remains liable for performance

 

The Chargor shall remain liable to perform the obligations assumed by it under the Insurances and the Administrative Agent is not liable to perform any of those obligations nor liable for the consequences of non-performance.

 

6.                                       Irrevocable Authority

 

The authorities and instructions in this notice cannot be revoked without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
