3. Nature of Mortgage
3.1 Priority
    The mortgage created under clause 2.1(a) (Mortgage) is a first equitable mortgage and takes priority over all other Security Interests.
3.2 Dealing with Mortgaged Property
  (a)   Except with the prior written consent of the Mortgagee or as permitted in any Loan Document, the Mortgagor shall not:
  (i)   create or allow to exist any Security Interest over any Mortgaged Property; or

  (A)   dispose of;
  (B)   create or allow any interest in; or
  (C)   part with possession of,
      any Mortgaged Property.
  (b)   Where by law a mortgagee may not restrict the creation of any Security Interest over an asset ranking after the mortgage created by this Deed, paragraph (a) will not restrict that creation, but the Mortgagor shall ensure that before that Security Interest is created the holder of that Security Interest enters into a deed of priority in form and substance specified by the Mortgagee.
4. Covenant to Pay and Perform
  (a)   The Mortgagor shall duly and punctually pay the Secured Money. After an Event of Default (whether or not it is subsisting) it shall pay all Secured Money on demand.
  (b)   The Mortgagor shall ensure that no Event of Default occurs. Without affecting the liability of the Mortgagor or the Powers of the Mortgagee in any other respect (including where a breach of this paragraph is also a breach of another provision), the Mortgagor is not liable in damages for a breach of this paragraph but the Mortgagee may exercise its Powers following the breach.

  (a)   it is the sole beneficial owner of, and has good title to, all Mortgaged Property, subject to no Security Interest whatsoever other than Permitted Liens;

  (c)   all Equity Interests have been duly authorised and validly issued and, if applicable, are fully paid;
Page 5

 


 

Share Mortgage  
  (d)   the Equity Interests mortgaged under this Deed constitute not less than 65% of the total issued share capital of the Australian Subsidiary;
  (e)   it is not in default in the payment of any portion of any mandatory capital contribution, if any, required to be made under any Organization Document of the Australian Subsidiary, and it is not in violation of any other material provisions of any Organization Document of the Australian Subsidiary, or otherwise in default or violation thereunder, no Mortgaged Property is subject to any defence, offset or counterclaim, nor have any of the foregoing been asserted or alleged against the Mortgagor by any Person with respect thereto and as of the Closing Date, other than with respect to Equity Interests of the Mortgagor that are not required to be mortgaged hereunder, there are no certificates, instruments, documents or other writings (other than the Organization Documents, if any, delivered to the Mortgagee) which evidence any Equity Interests of the Mortgagor (other than management shares);
  (f)   the mortgage of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Deed, subject to any necessary stamping or registration, creates a valid and continuing Security Interest in the Mortgaged Property and the proceeds thereof and is not subject to any prior Security Interest or to any agreement purporting to grant to any third party a Security Interest on the property or assets of the Mortgagor which would include the Mortgaged Property other than Permitted Liens ; and
  (g)   it shall give the Mortgagee prompt notice of any written claim relating to the Mortgaged Property received by it and shall deliver to the Mortgagee a copy of each other demand, notice or other document received by it which may adversely affect the Mortgagee’s interest in the Mortgaged Property simultaneously with the next occurring delivery of the financial statements required to be delivered under section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement.
6. Undertakings
  (a)   The Mortgagor covenants and agrees that it will defend the Mortgagee’s right, title and security interest in and to the Mortgaged Property (including the proceeds thereof) against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever other than Persons holding Permitted Liens.
  (b)   Subject to paragraph (c), if the Mortgagor shall acquire (by purchase, stock dividend or otherwise) any additional Equity Interests at any time or from time to time after the date of this Deed which are represented by certificates or instruments, the Mortgagor will, concurrently with the next occurring delivery of the financial statements required by Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement, mortgage to the Mortgagee and deliver to the Mortgagee certificates or instruments thereof, accompanied by undated transfer powers duly executed in blank by the Mortgagor, or such other instruments of transfer as are reasonably acceptable to the Mortgagee.
  (c)   Notwithstanding paragraph (b), the Mortgagor shall not be required to mortgage any Equity Interests it holds in the Australian Subsidiary in excess of 65% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares capital of the Australian Subsidiary.
  (d)   If any Equity Interests (whether or not now owned or hereafter acquired) are uncertificated, the Mortgagor shall promptly notify the Mortgagee thereof, and shall promptly take all
Page 6

 


 

Share Mortgage  
      actions required or requested by the Mortgagee to perfect the security interest of the Mortgagee under applicable Laws. The Mortgagor further agrees to take such actions as the Mortgagee deems reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the foregoing and to permit the Mortgagee to exercise any of its rights and remedies hereunder.
  (e)   Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Mortgagor shall be entitled to exercise all voting rights attaching to any and all Equity Interests owned by it, and to give consents, waivers or ratifications in respect thereof. All such rights of the Mortgagor to vote and to give consents waivers and ratifications shall cease if an Event of Default is subsisting.
  (f)   Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all cash dividends or other amounts payable in respect of the Mortgaged Property shall be paid to the Mortgagor. All dividends, distributions or other payments which are received by the Mortgagor contrary to the provisions of this Deed shall be held by the Mortgagor on account for the benefit of the Mortgagee, and shall be promptly paid over to the Mortgagee as Mortgaged Property in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

  (e)   creating, procuring or executing any document, including any notice, consent or agreement, or legal or statutory mortgage or transfer; and

8.3 Receiver’s powers
    In addition to any powers granted by law, and except to the extent specifically excluded by the terms of appointment, at any time while an Event of Default subsists, every Receiver has power to do anything in respect of the Mortgaged Property that an absolute beneficial legal owner of the property could do.

Share Mortgage  
    All of the above paragraphs are to be construed independently. None limits the generality of any other.
8.4 Receiver appointed after commencement of Liquidation
    The power to appoint a Receiver may be exercised even if:

  (b)   a receiver or receiver and manager appointed in those circumstances may not, or may not in some respects, act as the agent of the Mortgagor.
8.5 Powers exercisable by the Mortgagee
    Whether or not a Receiver has been appointed, to the extent permitted by law the Mortgagee may exercise any Power of a Receiver at any time while an Event of Default subsists, in addition to any Power of the Mortgagee and without giving notice. It may exercise those Powers and its Powers without taking possession or being liable as mortgagee in possession. Without limitation it may exercise those Powers and its Powers directly or through one or more agents. In the latter event anything done or incurred by an agent will be taken to be done or incurred by the Mortgagee.
8.6 Withdrawal
    The Mortgagee may give up possession of any Mortgaged Property and withdraw any receivership at any time.
9. Power of Attorney
  (a)   For valuable consideration and by way of security the Mortgagor irrevocably appoints each Authorised Officer of the Mortgagee severally its attorney to do anything which:
  (i)   the Mortgagor is obliged, but has failed, to do under or in relation to any Loan Document; or
  (ii)   any Secured Party or Receiver is authorised or empowered to do under any Loan Document or any law, but only at the times that that Secured Party or Receiver (if a Receiver had been appointed) would have been able to do it.
  (b)   Without limitation, the Attorney may at any time while an Event of Default subsists:
  (i)   do anything which in the opinion of the Mortgagee or the Attorney is necessary or expedient to secure, preserve, perfect or give effect to the security contained in this Deed (including anything under clause 10 (Completion of blank securities) or 11 (Performance of Mortgagor’s obligations)) and for this purpose, without limitation, the Attorney may execute a legal mortgage, transfer, assignment and other assurance in favour of any Secured Party of any of the Mortgaged Property; and
  (ii)   delegate the Attorney’s powers (including delegation).
  (c)   No Attorney appointed under this Deed may act, nor has power to act, inconsistently with this Deed or any other Loan Document.

11. Performance of Mortgagor’s Obligations

12. Inspection
    The Mortgagor shall permit representatives and independent contractors of the Mortgagee to visit and inspect any of its properties, to examine its corporate, financial and operating records, and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its directors, officers, and independent public accountants, all at the expense of the Mortgagor and at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to the Mortgagor, provided, that the Mortgagee may not exercise such rights of inspection under this clause 12 more often than two times during any calendar year absent the existence of an Event of Default; provided, further, that when an Event of Default exists the Mortgagee (or any of its respective representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Mortgagor at any time during normal business hours and without advance notice.

13.1 Powers in augmentation

14.3 Amounts contingently due
If any of the Secured Money is contingently owing to any Secured Party at the time of a distribution of an amount under clause 14.1 (Order), the Mortgagee may retain any of that amount. If it does, it shall place the amount retained on short term interest bearing deposit until the relevant Secured Money becomes actually due or ceases to be contingently owing, and the Mortgagee shall then:
  (a)   pay to that Secured Party the amount which becomes actually due to it; and
 
  (b)   apply the balance of the amount retained (together with interest earned on the deposit) in accordance with clause 14.1 (Order).
14.4 Notice of subsequent Security Interests

  (b)   The Mortgagee or any Controller may pay or agree to pay at any time the amount certified by the holder of a Security Interest or purported Security Interest to be necessary to discharge it or some of the indebtedness secured by it or to acquire it. From the date of payment that amount will be part of the Secured Money and the Mortgagor will indemnify the Mortgagee (or if other Secured Parties indemnify the Mortgagee those other Secured Parties) and the Controller against that amount. This applies whether or not that Security Interest or purported Security Interest was valid or prior, equal or subsequent ranking or the property or moneys stated in the certificate was secured by it.
16. Protection of Secured Parties, Controllers and Attorneys
To the extent permitted by law, no Secured Party, Controller or Attorney will be liable:
  (a)   in respect of any conduct, delay, negligence or breach of duty in the exercise or non-exercise of a Power; nor
 
  (b)   for any loss (including consequential loss) which results,
except where it arises from fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of any Secured Party, Controller or Attorney, provided that in no event shall any Secured Party, Controller or Attorney be liable for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages.

No party to any Dealing (as defined below) and no person asked to register a Dealing:
  (a)   is bound to enquire:
  (i)   whether an Event of Default has occurred or whether this Deed has become enforceable;
 
  (ii)   whether a person who is, or, purports or is purported to be, a Controller or Attorney is duly appointed;

  (a)   any payment, or any delivery or handing over of an asset, to; or
 
  (b)   any acquisition, incurring of Finance Debt, receipt, sale, Lease, disposal or other dealing, by,
any Secured Party, Controller or Attorney, or any person who purports or is purported to be a Controller or Attorney.
17.2 Receipt
The receipt of any Authorised Officer of any Secured Party, Controller or Attorney (or person who purports, or is purported, to be a Controller or Attorney) for any moneys or assets payable to or receivable or received by it exonerates the person paying those moneys or handing over that asset from being concerned as to their application, or from being liable or accountable for their loss or misapplication.

  (a)   that Secured Party receives or recovers an amount in one currency (the Payment Currency) in respect of an amount denominated under a Loan Document in another currency (the Due Currency); and
 
  (b)   the amount actually received or recovered by that Secured Party under its normal practice when it converts the Payment Currency into the Due Currency is less than the relevant amount of the Due Currency.
20. Certificate as to Amount of Secured Money
A certificate signed by an Authorised Officer of a Secured Party will be conclusive evidence against the Mortgagor, in the absence of manifest error:
  (a)   as to the amount of Secured Money stated in that certificate;
 
  (b)   that a document specified in that certificate is a Loan Document; and
 
  (c)   that the relevant Secured Party is of the opinion stated in the certificate.
21. Survival of Obligations
  (a)   (Representations and warranties) Each representation or warranty in a Loan Document survives the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the provision of financial accommodation.
 
  (b)   (Indemnity) Each indemnity, reimbursement or similar obligation in a Loan Document (to the extent provided therein):
  (i)   is a continuing, separate and independent obligation;
 
  (ii)   is payable on demand; and
 
  (iii)   survives termination or discharge of the relevant Loan Document and repayment of financial accommodation.
Where a party is obliged to indemnify another party against any loss, cost, charge, liability, expense, deficiency or other amount, it shall pay on demand from time to time the amount stated by the other party to be the amount indemnified against.

  (b)   Powers in the Loan Documents are in addition to, and do not exclude or limit, any right, power or remedy provided by law.
