Subject to Clause 15 (Discharge of Security), the Security Interests are continuing Security and will extend to the ultimate balance of the Secured Liabilities, regardless of discharge in whole or in part.

 

14.2 Reinstatement

 

If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of the Chargor or the Company or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of the Chargor and the Security Interests under this Deed will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

 

14.3 Waiver of defences

 

Neither the obligations of the Chargor under this Deed nor the Security Interests will be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 14.3, would reduce, release or prejudice any of his obligations under this Deed or any of the Security Interests (without limitation and whether or not known to him or the Chargee) including:

 

(a) any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, the Chargor or other person;

 

(b) the release of the Chargor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement;

- 14 -

 

 

(e) any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of the Management Agreement;

 

(f) any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under the Management Agreement or any other document or security; or

 

(g) any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, winding-up, provisional supervision, supervision, administration, receivership or similar proceedings.

 

14.4 Immediate recourse

 

The Chargor waives any right he may have of first requiring the Chargee (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from the Chargor under this Deed. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of this Deed to the contrary.

 

14.5 Appropriations

 

The Chargee (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may at any time during the Security Period without affecting the liability of the Chargor under this Deed:

 

(a) refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by the Chargee (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and the Chargor shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

 

(b) hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from the Chargor or on account of the Chargor’s liability under this Deed.

 

14.6 Additional security

 

(a) The Security Interests are in addition to and are not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by the Chargee.

 

(b) No prior security held by the Chargee (in its capacity as such or otherwise) over any Security Asset will merge into this Security.

 

15. DISCHARGE OF SECURITY

 

Once the Secured Liabilities are discharged, the Chargee shall at the request and cost of the Chargor, release, reassign or discharge (as appropriate) the Security Assets from the Security Interests.

 

16. COSTS AND EXPENSES

 

16.1 Amendment costs

 

If the Chargor requests an amendment, waiver or consent, to the extent not paid by the Chargor, the Chargor shall, within three Business Days of demand, reimburse the Chargee for the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred by the Chargee in responding to, evaluating, negotiating or complying with that request.
