The Chargee shall not be liable for:

 

(a)

any loss arising out of such sale or other disposal of any of the Security Assets or the exercise of or failure to exercise any of the Chargee's powers under this Deed however caused and whether or not a better price could or might have been obtained by deferring or advancing the date of such sale or other disposal and the Chargee shall not be liable to account as mortgagee in possession for any of the Security Assets; and

At any time on, or after the date on which the security constituted by this Deed becomes enforceable, the Chargee may exercise in the name of the Chargor or otherwise, and without any further consent or authority on the part of the Chargor in respect of the Security Assets any voting rights and all powers given to trustees in respect of securities or property subject to a trust and any powers or rights which may be exercisable by the person in whose name any of the Security Assets is registered.
