13.

ENFORCEMENT OF SECURITY

13.1

Enforcement Powers

For the purpose of all rights and powers implied or granted by statute, the Secured Obligations are deemed to have fallen due on the date of this Deed. The power of sale and other powers conferred by section 101 of the Law of Property Act 1925 and all other enforcement powers conferred by this Deed shall be immediately exercisable at any time after an Enforcement Event has occurred.

13.2

Statutory Powers

The powers conferred on mortgagees, receivers or administrative receivers by the Law of Property Act 1925 and the Insolvency Act 1986 (as the case may be) shall apply to the Security created under this Deed, unless they are expressly or impliedly excluded. If there is ambiguity or conflict between the powers contained in those Acts and those contained in this Deed, those contained in this Deed shall prevail.

13.3

Exercise of Powers

All or any of the powers conferred upon mortgagees by the Law of Property Act 1925 as varied or extended by this Deed, and all or any of the rights and powers conferred by this Deed on a Receiver (whether expressly or impliedly), may be exercised by the Chargee in any manner in which it sees fit without further notice to the Chargor at any time after an Enforcement Event has occurred, irrespective of whether the Chargee has taken possession or appointed a Receiver of the Charged Property.

13.4

Disapplication of Statutory Restrictions

The restriction on the consolidation of mortgages and on power of sale imposed by sections 93 and 103 respectively of the Law of Property Act 1925 shall not apply to the Security constituted by this Deed.

13.5

Appropriation under the Financial Collateral Regulations

(a)

The Chargor and the Chargee intend that this Deed constitutes a “financial collateral arrangement” (as defined in the Financial Collateral Regulations) and, as such, and without prejudice to any other rights of the Chargee under any Finance Document, the Chargee shall have the right at any time following the occurrence of an Enforcement Event, to appropriate any Charged Property which constitutes Financial Collateral, in such manner as it sees fit in or towards satisfaction of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Financial Collateral Regulations.

(b)

If the Chargee is required to value any Financial Collateral for the purpose of paragraph (a) above, the value shall be:

(i)

in the case of cash, its face value at the time of appropriation; and

(ii)

in the case of financial instruments or other Financial Collateral, the amount as determined by the Chargee which is the Chargee’s estimate (acting in a commercially reasonable manner) of the net proceeds that would be realised on a sale of such financial instruments or other Financial Collateral and (in respect of Financial Collateral that comprises publicly traded securities) taking into account such considerations as the Chargee, acting reasonably, deems appropriate at the time, which may include, without limitation, the following factors:

(A)

the current market price of that Financial Collateral as quoted on any public index, exchange or regulated market on which those securities are listed or admitted to trading;

(B)

the market liquidity of those securities;

(C)

the availability of alternative markets for, and price achievable or realisable from the sale in any such alternative market of, that Financial Collateral, in each case that the Chargee is aware of;

(D)

any adjustment to the price of that Financial Collateral that may be required if that Financial Collateral were to be sold in a block trade; and

(E)

the number of relevant securities and the proportion that they bear to the total aggregate amount of such securities then in issuance,

as converted, where necessary, into the currency in which the Secured Obligations are denominated at a market rate of exchange prevailing at the time of appropriation selected by the Chargee. The Parties agree that the methods of valuation set out in this paragraph (b) are commercially reasonable for the purpose of the Financial Collateral Regulations.

13.6

Application of Collateral Cash

At any time after an Enforcement Event has occurred the Chargee may and is hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorised, without further enquiry and without either giving notice to the Chargor or obtaining any consent, to apply the whole or part of the Collateral Cash in or towards payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations.

13.7

Sale of Collateral Securities

(a)

The Chargor acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Securities may decline speedily in value and are of a type customarily sold on a recognised market and therefore that the Chargee is not required to send any notice of its intention to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral Securities. Following the occurrence of an Enforcement Event, the Chargee may but subject to any duties or obligations arising under any applicable law or regulation, sell the Collateral Securities in a private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Chargee may deem necessary or advisable (with the Chargee having the right to purchase any or all of the Collateral Securities to be sold). The Chargor acknowledges that such sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, notwithstanding that any such sale may be for a price less than that which might have been obtained had such Collateral Securities been otherwise privately or publicly sold.

(b)

The Parties acknowledge and agree that large blocks of equity securities are customarily sold by the seller retaining an investment bank or other financial institution (a “Block Dealer”) to send notification of such sale via e-mail and/or telephone calls, using a marketing team reasonably familiar with the issuer and the market for such equity securities, to one or more sophisticated equity investors who maintain accounts with such Block Dealer (or its affiliates) (but generally not to retail investors) soliciting such investors to submit bids to purchase the offered securities from which bids the Block Dealer will build a book of bids for purposes of determining the market clearing price for such offered securities, which price is typically expected to be determined shortly following the commencement of such offering. Furthermore, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, subject to any duties or obligations arising under any applicable law or regulation (i) the Chargee may exercise its rights pursuant to this Clause 13 substantially concurrently or in prompt succession (including at the same time on the same day); (ii) the Chargee may solicit bids to purchase the relevant Collateral Securities from any particular investor that maintains accounts with the Chargee (or its affiliates) and (iii) the events or circumstances giving rise to certain Events of Default and/or the event of an enforcement on a large block of equity securities pledged by a major shareholder, may reduce the number of investors interested in participating in the market for such equity securities and/or the price any such investor is willing to bid for such equity securities. As a result, any such sale may result in prices and terms less favourable to the Chargee than those that could be obtained by selling or otherwise disposing of such Collateral Securities in multiple transactions, over multiple days, in a broadly distributed offering and/or in the absence of, or at a time later than the occurrence of, any adverse events or circumstances. For the avoidance of doubt, the Chargee shall not be limited to enforcing in accordance with foregoing procedures in this paragraph (b) and may also enforce using any other method or procedure that satisfies the applicable requirements set forth in this Deed.

(c)

The Chargor hereby (i) acknowledges that selling or otherwise disposing of the Collateral Securities in accordance with the restrictions and other provisions set forth in this Clause 13.7 may result in prices and terms less favourable to the Chargee than those that could be obtained by selling or otherwise disposing of such Collateral Securities in a single transaction to a single purchaser and (ii) agrees and acknowledges that (A) no method of sale or other disposition of such Collateral Securities shall be deemed commercially unreasonable because of any action taken or not taken by the Chargee to comply with such restrictions or otherwise comply with such provisions or because of any such less favourable prices or terms and (B) the Chargee shall not have any liability or responsibility for any such action taken or not taken by it or any such less favourable prices or terms.

(d)

To the extent any Collateral Securities are subject to any competing Security in favour of the Chargor, the Chargor hereby irrevocably agree to release such competing Security from such Collateral Securities with immediate effect upon the exercise of any right or remedy that the Chargee (or a Receiver) may have in respect of such Collateral Securities under the Transaction Security (including any right to sell, dispose or appropriate such Collateral Securities under this Deed) following an Enforcement Event. The release of such other competing Security shall automatically take effect without the need for any other action or step being required to be taken by the Chargor or any other person. Upon a disposal of any of the Collateral Securities, the Chargee is authorised to execute, without the need for any further authority from the Chargor or the Chargee, any release of any claim over the Collateral Securities that may be required or desirable.

13.8

Private Enforcement

For purposes of Swiss insolvency laws, enforcement of the security interest constituted by this Deed may take place outside debt enforcement proceedings (Privatverwertung). The Chargee may commence other enforcement proceedings against the Chargor by way of special or general enforcement (Betreibung auf Pfändung oder Konkurs) pursuant to the Swiss Federal Act on Debt Enforcement and Bankruptcy. Art. 41 para. 1bis of the Swiss Federal Act on Debt Enforcement and Bankruptcy is hereby waived.

13.9

Limitations on Enforcement

(a)

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Finance Documents to the contrary, including without limitation Clauses 13.5 (Appropriation under the Financial Collateral Regulations) and 13.7 (Sale of Collateral Securities) of this Deed, in no event shall the Chargee be entitled to acquire, receive, vote or exercise any other rights in respect of any Collateral Securities to the extent (but only to the extent) that immediately upon giving effect to such acquisition, receipt or exercise of such rights (the “Ownership Limitation”):

(i)

it would cause the Chargee to have Beneficial Ownership equal to or greater than 9.0% of the number of the total outstanding Shares of the Issuer;

(ii)

the Chargee, under any federal, state or local laws, rules, regulations or regulatory orders or any provisions of the constitutional documents of the Issuer, in each case, applicable to ownership of the Shares (the “Applicable Restrictions”), would own, beneficially own, constructively own, control, hold the power to vote or otherwise meet a relevant definition of ownership in excess of a number of such Shares equal to:

(A)

the number of such Shares that would give rise to any reporting or registration obligation or other requirement (including obtaining prior approval by any person or entity) of the Chargee or would result in an adverse effect on the Chargee under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by the Chargee in its reasonable discretion; less

(B)

1% of the number of the total outstanding Shares.

(b)

The inability of the Chargee to acquire, receive or exercise rights with respect to the Collateral Securities as provided above at any time as a result of an Ownership Limitation shall not preclude the Chargee from taking such action at a later time when no such Ownership Limitation is then existing or would result under this provision. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Finance Documents to the contrary, the Chargee shall not become the record or beneficial owner, or otherwise have any rights as a holder, of any Collateral Securities that the Chargee is not entitled to acquire or receive, or exercise any other rights, at any time pursuant to Clauses 13.5 (Appropriation under the Financial Collateral Regulations) and 13.7 (Sale of Collateral Securities) of this Deed, until such time as the Chargee is not prohibited from acquiring, receiving or exercising such rights in respect thereof under this Clause 13.9.

(c)

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Finance Documents to the contrary, any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral Securities by the Chargee must be a Qualifying Disposition.

14.

16.

PROTECTION OF CHARGEE AND RECEIVER

16.1

No Liability

(a)

Neither the Chargee nor any Receiver shall be liable in respect of any of the Charged Property or for any loss or damage which arises out of the exercise or the attempted or purported exercise of, or the failure to exercise any of, their respective powers, unless caused by its or his gross negligence or wilful misconduct under the Finance Documents.

16.3

Primary liability of Chargor

The Chargor shall be deemed to be a principal debtor and the sole, original and independent obligor for the Secured Obligations and the Charged Property shall be deemed to be a principal security for the Secured Obligations. The liability of the Chargor under this Deed and the charges contained in this Deed shall not be impaired by any forbearance, neglect, indulgence, abandonment, extension of time, release, surrender or loss of Securities, dealing, variation or arrangement by the Chargee, or by any other act, event or matter whatsoever whereby the liability of the Chargor (as a surety only) or the charges contained in this Deed (as secondary or collateral charges only) would, but for this provision, have been discharged.

16.4

Waiver of defences

The obligations of the Chargor under this Deed will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this this Deed, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this this Deed (without limitation and whether or not known to it or the Chargee) including:

(a)

any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor, the Parent or other person;

16.6

Delegation

The Chargee may delegate by power of attorney or in any other manner all or any of the powers, authorities and discretions which are for the time being exercisable by it under this Deed to any person or persons upon such terms and conditions (including the power to sub-delegate) as it may think fit. The Chargee will not be liable or responsible to the Chargor or any other person for any losses arising from any act, default, omission or misconduct on the part of any delegate.

16.7

Cumulative Powers

The respective powers of the Chargee will in no circumstances be suspended, waived or otherwise prejudiced by anything other than an express consent or amendment.

17.

POWER OF ATTORNEY

(a)

to do anything which the Chargor is obliged to do under this Deed but has failed to do (including to execute, seal and deliver (using the company seal where appropriate) and otherwise perfect and do any deed, assurance, agreement, instrument, act or thing as the Lender may reasonably specify); and

(b)

following the occurrence of an Enforcement Event, to exercise any rights or powers conferred on the Chargee or any Receiver under this Deed or otherwise for any of the purposes of this Deed, and

18.

PROTECTION FOR THIRD PARTIES

18.1

No Obligation to Enquire

No purchaser from, or other person dealing with, the Chargee or any Receiver (or their agents) shall be obliged or concerned to enquire:

(a)

whether the right of the Chargee or any Receiver to exercise any of the powers conferred by this Deed has arisen or become exercisable or as to the propriety or validity of the exercise or purported exercise of any such power;

(b)

whether any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding and/or are due and payable or be concerned with notice to the contrary and the title and position of such a purchaser or other person shall not be impeachable by reference to any of those matters;

(c)

the manner or the order by which any amount received or recovered by the Chargee or any Receiver is to be applied; or

(d)

whether the Collateral Securities have been released from any competing Security in favour of the Chargor.

18.2

Receipt Conclusive

The receipt of the Chargee or any Receiver shall be an absolute and a conclusive discharge to a purchaser, and shall relieve him of any obligation to see to the application of any moneys paid to or by the direction of the Chargee or any Receiver.

18.3

Chargor intent

Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 16.4 (Waiver of defences), the Chargor expressly confirms that it intends that the Security created by this Deed shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Finance Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Finance Documents for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: investments, business acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing

19.

REINSTATEMENT AND RELEASE

19.1

Discharge Conditional

Any settlement or discharge between the Chargor and the Chargee shall be conditional upon no security or payment to the Chargee by the Chargor or any other person being avoided, set aside, ordered to be refunded or reduced by virtue of any provision or enactment relating to insolvency and accordingly (but without limiting the other rights of the Chargee under this Deed) the Chargee shall be entitled to recover from the Chargor the value which the Chargee has placed on that security or the amount of any such payment as if that settlement or discharge had not occurred.

19.2

Covenant to Release

Once all the Secured Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the Chargee could not reasonably be expected to have any actual or contingent liability to advance further moneys to, or incur liability on behalf of, the Chargor and the Chargee shall, at the request and cost of the Chargor, promptly:

(a)

release, reassign or discharge (as appropriate) the Charged Property from the Security created by this Deed;

(b)

execute any documents (or procure that its nominees execute any documents) or take any action which may be necessary to release the Charged Property from the Security constituted by this Deed; and

(c)

return all documents of title, transfer documents and other documentation relating to the Charged Property which it holds (or which are being held to its order).

20.

CURRENCY CLAUSES

20.1

Conversion

All moneys received or held by the Chargee or any Receiver under this Deed may be converted into any other currency which the Chargee considers necessary to cover the obligations and liabilities comprised in the Secured Obligations in that other currency at the spot rate of exchange then prevailing for purchasing that other currency with the existing currency by a bank selected by the Chargee.

20.2

No Discharge

No payment to the Chargee (whether under any judgment or court order or otherwise) shall discharge the obligation or liability of the Chargor in respect of which it was made unless and until the Chargee has received payment in full in the currency in which the obligation or liability is payable or, if the currency of payment is not specified, was incurred. To the extent that the amount of any such payment shall on actual conversion into that currency fall short of that obligation or liability expressed in that currency, the Chargee shall have a further separate cause of action against the Chargor and shall be entitled to enforce the Security constituted by this Deed to recover the amount of the shortfall.

21.

SET-OFF

21.1

Set-off by the Chargee

The Chargee may set off any matured obligation due from the Chargor under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by the Chargee) against any matured obligation owed by the Chargee to the Chargor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Chargee may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange selected by it for the purpose of the setoff.

21.2

Different Currencies

The Chargee may exercise its rights under Clause 21.1 (Set-off by the Chargee) notwithstanding that the amounts concerned may be expressed in different currencies and the Chargee is authorised to effect any necessary conversions at a market rate of exchange selected by it.

21.3

Unliquidated Claims

If, at any time after notice demanding payment of any sum which is then due but unpaid in respect of the Secured Obligations has been given by the Chargee to the Chargor, the relevant obligation or liability is unliquidated or unascertained, the Chargee may set-off the amount which it estimates (in good faith) will be the final amount of that obligation or liability once it becomes liquidated or ascertained.

21.4

No Set-off

The Chargor will pay all amounts payable under this Deed without any set-off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever unless required by law, in which event the Chargor will pay an additional amount to ensure that the payment recipient receives the amount which would have been payable had no deduction been required to have been made.

22.

RULING OFF

If the Chargee receives notice of any subsequent Security or other interest affecting any of the Charged Property (except as permitted by the Facility Agreement) it may open a new account for the Chargor in its books. If it does not do so then (unless it gives express notice to the contrary to the Chargor), as from the time it receives that notice, all payments made by the Chargor to it (in the absence of any express appropriation to the contrary) shall be treated as having been credited to a new account of the Chargor and not as having been applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations unless such amounts are sufficient to repay the Secured Obligations in full.

23.

REDEMPTION OF PRIOR CHARGES

The Chargee may, at any time after an Enforcement Event has occurred, redeem any prior Security on or relating to any of the Charged Property or procure the transfer of that Security to itself, and may settle and pass the accounts of any person entitled to that prior Security. Any account so settled and passed shall (subject to any manifest error) be conclusive and binding on the Chargor. The Chargor will on demand pay to the Chargee all principal moneys and interest and all losses incidental to any such redemption or transfer.

24.

NOTICES

Any communication to be made under or in connection with this Deed shall be made in accordance with Clause 35 (Notices) of the Facility Agreement.

26.

MISCELLANEOUS

26.1

Certificates Conclusive

A certificate or determination of the Chargee as to any amount payable under this Deed will be conclusive and binding on the Chargor, except in the case of manifest error.

26.2

Counterparts

This Deed may be executed in any number of counterparts, and this has the same effect as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of this Deed.

26.3

Invalidity of any Provision

If any provision of this Deed is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired in any way.

26.4

Failure to Execute

Failure by one or more parties (“Non-Signatories”) to execute this Deed on the date hereof will not invalidate the provisions of this Deed as between the other Parties who do execute this Deed. Such Non-Signatories may execute this Deed on a subsequent date and will thereupon become bound by its provisions.
