2.2  
Non-PPSA Collateral
 
(a)  
Subject to clause 2.2(b) and 20.2, in relation to all Non-PPSA Collateral, the security interest granted under this Deed operates as a charge over all of the Grantor’s present and future right, title and interest (legal and equitable) in and to all such Non-PPSA Collateral. The charge:

is a fixed charge over all the Grantor’s present and future right, title and interest (legal and equitable) in any Non-PPSA Collateral which is a Restricted Asset; and
 
(ii)  
is a floating charge over all other Non-PPSA Collateral.
 
(b)  
The security interest granted under this Deed operates as a mortgage over all the Grantor’s present and future right, title and interest (legal and equitable) in real property.
 
2.3  
Priority of Security Interest
 
Save and except as provided otherwise in any Transaction Document or save as agreed by the parties in writing, the parties intend that the security interest granted under this Deed takes priority over all other Security Interests over the Collateral.
 
2.4

The security interest granted under this Deed secures the due and punctual payment of the Secured Money.
 
2.5  
Consideration
 
The Grantor enters into this Deed in consideration of the Secured Party entering into the Transaction Documents, and for other valuable consideration received.
 
2.6  
Variations
 
The Grantor acknowledges that the Transaction Documents may be varied or replaced from time to time.
 
The Grantor confirms that the Secured Money includes any amount payable under any Transaction Document as varied or replaced regardless of:
 
(a)  
the manner by which the Transaction Document is varied or replaced;
 
(b)  
the reasons for the variation or replacement; and
 
(c)  
whether the variation or replacement results in an increase or decrease in the Secured Money or otherwise makes the Transaction Documents more onerous.
 
3  
Dealing with Collateral
 
3.1  
Encumbering Collateral
 
(a)  
Other than with the prior written consent of the Secured Party, the Grantor may not (and may not attempt to, agree to or otherwise take any step to) create or allow to exist any Security Interest over any Collateral except Permitted Securities.
 
(b)  
Where by law a Secured Party may not restrict the creation of any Security Interest over an asset, clause 3.1(a) will not restrict that creation, but before creating that Security Interest the Grantor must use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the holder of that Security Interest enters into a deed of priority in form and substance specified by the Secured Party.
 
 
Page 9

(iii)  
any litigation or administrative proceedings (including any objection made to a stamp duty or state revenue office) taken against or involving the Indemnified Party in connection with the assessment for stamp duty of the documents or transactions referred to in clause 17.2(a); or
 
(iv)  
any future, or any change in any present or future, stamp duty law or regulation or stamp duty or state revenue office practice (with which, if not having the force of law, compliance is in accordance with the practice of responsible bankers and financial institutions in the jurisdiction concerned),
 
including any administration costs of an Indemnified Party in connection with the matters referred to above, any legal costs and expenses and any professional consultant’s fees for any of the above on a full indemnity basis.
 
(b)  
The Secured Party must give notice to the Grantor as soon as it becomes aware of any of the following events:
 
(i)  
any enquiry by a Public Authority referred to in clause 17.2(a)(ii) involving it; or

17.3  
Continuing indemnities and evidence of loss

Each indemnity of the Grantor contained in this Deed is a continuing obligation of the Grantor, despite:
 
(i)  
any settlement of account; or
 
(ii)  
the occurrence of any other thing,

(iii)  
the Secured Money is paid in full to the satisfaction of the Secured Party; and
 
(iv)  
each Transaction Security in respect of all the Collateral has been finally discharged.

Each indemnity of the Grantor contained in a Transaction Document is an additional, separate and independent obligation of the Grantor and no one indemnity limits the generality of any other indemnity.

Each indemnity of the Grantor contained in this Deed survives the termination of this Deed.
 
 
Page 24

 
 
(d)  
A certificate signed by an officer of the Secured Party detailing the amount of any loss covered by any indemnity in this Deed is conclusive evidence unless the contrary is proved.

19.3  
No merger of security

any Security Interest in favour of the Secured Party at any time;

20  
Severability and Collateral
 
20.1  
Severability of provisions
 
Any provision of this Deed which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction is ineffective as to that jurisdiction to the extent of the prohibition or unenforceability. That does not invalidate the remaining provisions of this Deed nor affect the validity or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction.
 
20.2  
Restricted Collateral
 
(a)  
If the security interest granted under this Deed with respect to any Collateral would:
 
(i)  
otherwise be ineffective with respect to the Collateral; or
 
(ii)  
breach any law or (if that Collateral is a right under a document or agreement) that document or agreement,
 
then if it would render the security interest with respect to that Collateral effective and not in breach, the security interest will operate as a fixed charge with respect to the Collateral, failing which, it will operate, to the extent the relevant Collateral is Non-PPSA Collateral, as a floating charge with respect to that Collateral, failing which it will not apply to that Collateral.
 
(b)  
The Grantor must use its best efforts promptly to obtain any consents and do anything else needed to ensure the security interest can apply to that Non-PPSA Collateral and not operate as a floating charge.
 
21

lessens, varies or affects in favour of the Grantor any obligation under this Deed; or
 
(b)  
delays, prevents or prejudicially affects the exercise by the Secured Party, Controller or Attorney of any Power,
 
is excluded from this Deed.
