(d)                                 if pursuant to enforcement the Security Trustee or a Receiver intends to sell any asset over which Barclays has Security conferred by the Barclays Security, or if the relevant Company intends to sell such asset with the approval of the Security Trustee, the Security Trustee will consult with Barclays with a view to agreeing the timing and manner in which the sale of that asset is to be conducted. Failing such agreement, Barclays will on any such sale release the Encumbrances conferred by the Barclays Security over the asset if the proceeds are or will be sufficient to discharge the Barclays Liabilities (or, if such proceeds are not sufficient, if it has given its consent to the sale) and are to be applied in accordance with Clause 7.2.
