Dear Sirs,

1.

We refer to the Supplemental Security Agreement. This is notice that, pursuant to the Supplemental Security Agreement, we and each company listed in the schedule to this notice (each a Chargor) have assigned absolutely (subject to a proviso for reassignment in accordance with the Supplemental Security Agreement) to the Common Security Agent (on behalf of certain Secured Parties referred to in the Supplemental Security Agreement) all our respective right, title and interest in and to the insurance policies identified in respect of each Chargor in the schedule to this notice (and the proceeds of them) and to any other insurance policies (and the proceeds of them) taken out with you by or on behalf of any Chargor or under which any Chargor has a right to a claim (together, the Insurance Policies). We confirm to you that we are authorised to give this notice on behalf of the other Chargors.

 

2.	A reference in this notice to any amount excludes all amounts received or receivable under or in connection with any third party liability or similar insurance and required to settle a liability of any Chargor or Obligor referred to in the Supplemental Security Agreement to a third party.

(a)

each Chargor shall remain liable under its Insurance Policies to perform all the obligations assumed by it under its Insurance Policies; and

 

(b)

neither the Common Security Agent nor any Secured Party referred to in this notice (nor any agent, employee or officer of either of them) nor any receiver, administrator or other person shall at any time be under any obligation or liability to you under or in respect of the Insurance Policies of any Chargor.

 

4.

Despite its assignment of its rights to us, each Chargor shall be entitled to exercise all rights under its Insurance Policies expressed to be given to it thereunder, and you should continue to give notices under the Insurance Policies to the relevant Chargor, until such time as the Common Security Agent provides written notification that an Enforcement Event has occurred. Thereafter, unless the Common Security Agent otherwise agrees in writing:

 

(a)

all amounts payable under the Insurance Policies should be paid to the Common Security Agent or as it directs; and

 

(b)

all rights in respect of the Insurance Policies shall be exercisable by the Common Security Agent and notices under the Insurance Policies should be given to the Common Security Agent or as it directs.

 

5.	After the occurrence of an Enforcement Event, you are authorised and instructed (without requiring further approval from any Chargor) to provide the Common Security Agent with such information relating to the Insurance Policies as it may from time to time request.

 

 

6.

These instructions may not be revoked or amended without the prior written consent of the Common Security Agent. We agree that you may comply with the terms of this notice without any further permission from any Chargor and without enquiry by you as to the justification for or validity of any request, notice or instruction.

 

7.

Please note the interest of the Common Security Agent on the Insurance Policies and show the Common Security Agent as loss payee and first priority assignee and send a copy of that notation to the Common Security Agent at [insert address], together with your acknowledgment and agreement to the terms of this notice (as referred to below).

 

8.	Please sign and return the enclosed copy of this notice to the Common Security Agent (with a copy to us) to confirm (by way of undertaking in favour of the Common Security Agent) that:

 

(a)

you agree to the terms of this notice and to act in accordance with its provisions;

 

(b)

you have not received notice of the interest of any third party in any of the Insurance Policies;

 

(c)

you have noted the interest of the Common Security Agent on the Insurance Policies;

 

(d)

you will not cancel, avoid, release or otherwise allow the Insurance Policies to lapse, or amend any term of the Insurance Policies, without the prior written consent of the Common Security Agent;

 

(e)

you will allow the Common Security Agent to, in its absolute discretion, pay any insurance premia and any other necessary amounts which a Chargor has not paid;

 

(f)

you have not and will not claim, exercise or enforce any right of set-off, counterclaim or similar right in respect of the Insurance Policies without the prior written consent of the Common Security Agent;

 

(g)

you shall notify the Common Security Agent of any breach by any Chargor of any term of its Insurance Policies and shall allow the Common Security Agent or the Secured Parties referred to in this notice to remedy that breach; and

 

(h)

the Common Security Agent shall not in any circumstances be liable for the premium in relation to the Insurance Policies (but may elect to pay it).

 

9.	This notice and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this notice shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law.

4.	RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THIS DEED AND THE SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

(a)

With effect from the date of this Deed:

 

(i)

the Supplemental Security Agreement shall be read and construed for all purposes as if the Additional Chargor had been an original party to the Supplemental Security Agreement in the capacity of a Chargor and so that all of the provisions, rights, obligations and liabilities of, under or in connection with the Supplemental Security Agreement apply to the Additional Chargor in that capacity (but so that the Transaction Security created on this accession shall be created on the date of this Deed);

 

(ii)

the provisions of the Supplemental Security Agreement which are expressed to apply to the Common Security Agent, any Secured Party, any Receiver or any other person shall apply to this Deed as if set out in full in this Deed except that references to the Supplemental Security Agreement shall include this Deed; and

 

(iii)

unless the context otherwise requires, any reference in the Supplemental Security Agreement to “this Deed” and similar phrases shall include this Deed and all references in the Supplemental Security Agreement to any relevant schedule to the Supplemental Security Agreement (or any part of it) shall include a reference to the schedule to this Deed (or relevant part of it).

 

(b)

Without prejudice to any other provision of this Deed, all Transaction Security:

 

(i)

is created in favour of the Common Security Agent for itself and on behalf of each of the other Secured Parties;

 

(ii)

is created free from any security interest (other than any Transaction Security);

 

(iii)

is created over the present and future assets of each Chargor; and

 

(iv)

is a continuing security for the payment, discharge and performance of all of the Secured Obligations, shall extend to the ultimate balance of all amounts payable under the Debt Documents and shall remain in full force and effect until the Discharge Date. No part of the Transaction Security shall be considered to be satisfied or discharged by any intermediate payment, discharge or satisfaction of the whole or any part of the Secured Obligations.

 

(c)

If the Additional Chargor purports to mortgage, assign or, by way of a fixed charge, charge an asset (a “restricted asset”) under this Deed and that mortgage, assignment or fixed charge breaches a term of a written agreement (a “Restrictive Contract”) binding on the Additional Chargor in respect of that restricted asset because the consent of a person (other than a member of the Group, each a “counterparty”) has not been obtained, then:

 

(i)

the Additional Chargor shall notify the Common Security Agent of the same immediately;

 

(ii)

subject to paragraph (iv) below, the relevant mortgage, assignment or fixed charge under this Deed shall extend (to the extent that no breach of that Restrictive Contract would occur) to the Related Rights in respect of that restricted asset but shall exclude the restricted asset itself;

 

 

(iii)

unless the Common Security Agent otherwise requires, the Additional Chargor shall obtain the consent of each relevant counterparty and, once obtained, shall promptly provide a copy of that consent to the Common Security Agent; and

 

(iv)

on and from the date on which the Additional Chargor obtains the consent of each relevant counterparty, that restricted asset shall become subject to a mortgage, an assignment or a fixed charge in favour of the Common Security Agent under each provision of clause 3 (Creation of security) of this Deed which applies to the class of asset corresponding to that restricted asset.

 

(d)

The Common Security Agent holds the benefit of this Deed, the Supplemental Security Agreement and the Transaction Security on trust for itself and each of the other Secured Parties from time to time on the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(e)

The Transaction Security created pursuant to this Deed by the Additional Chargor is made with full title guarantee under the LPMPA 1994.

 

(f)

If the Common Security Agent considers that any payment, security or guarantee provided to it or any other Secured Party under or in connection with any Debt Document is capable of being avoided, reduced or invalidated by virtue of any applicable law, notwithstanding any reassignment or release of any Security Asset, the liability of the Additional Chargor under this Deed, the Supplemental Security Agreement and the Transaction Security shall continue as if those amounts had not been paid or as if any such security or guarantee had not been provided.

 

(g)

Each undertaking of the Additional Chargor (other than a payment obligation) contained in this Deed or the Supplemental Security Agreement:

 

(i)

shall be complied with at all times during the period commencing on the date of this Deed and ending on the Discharge Date; and

 

(ii)

is given by the Additional Chargor for the benefit of the Common Security Agent and each other Secured Party.

 

(h)

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Deed or the Supplemental Security Agreement or implied to the contrary, the Additional Chargor remains liable to observe and perform all conditions and obligations assumed by it in relation to the Security Assets. The Common Security Agent is under no obligation to perform or fulfil any such condition or obligation or to make any payment in respect of any such condition or obligation.

 

5.

7.

GOVERNING LAW

 

This Deed and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this Deed shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law.

 

 

8.	JURISDICTION

 

(a)

The English courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction in relation to all disputes arising out of or in connection with this Deed (including claims for set-off and counterclaims), including disputes arising out of or in connection with: (i) the creation, validity, effect, interpretation, performance or non-performance of, or the legal relationships established by, this Deed; and (ii) any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this Deed. For those purposes each party to this Deed irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the English courts and waives any objection to the exercise of that jurisdiction.
