7.5 | All moneys received by the Chargee pursuant to this Charge shall be applied in accordance with the LSA. |

7.7 | The Chargee shall not by reason of the taking of possession of the whole or any part of the Charged Property or any part thereof be liable to account as mortgagee-in-possession or for anything except actual receipts or be liable for any loss upon realisation or for any default or omission for which a mortgagee-in-possession might be liable. |
7.8 | In addition to all other rights or powers vested in the Chargee hereunder or by statute or otherwise, the Receiver may take such action in relation to the enforcement of this Charge to: |
a. | take possession of, redeem, collect and get in all or any part of the Charged Property; |
b. | raise or borrow money and grant security therefor over all or any part of the Charged Property; |
c. | appoint an attorney or accountant or other professionally qualified person to assist him in the performance of his functions; |
d. | do all acts and to execute in the name and on behalf of the Chargor any document or deed in respect of all or any part of the Charged Property; |

f. | sell, call in, collect and convert to money the Charged Property or any of it at such place and in such manner and at such price or prices as he shall think fit; |
g. | exercise any powers, discretion, voting or other rights or entitlements in relation to the Charged Property and generally to carry out any other action which he may in his sole discretion deem appropriate in relation to the enforcement of this Charge; |
h. | make any arrangement or compromise which he shall think expedient; and |
i. | do all such other acts and things as may be considered to be incidental or conducive to any of the matters or powers aforesaid and which the Receiver lawfully may or can do as agent for the Chargor. |
7.9 | Every Receiver shall, so far as it concerns responsibility for his acts, be deemed to be an agent of the Chargor, which shall be solely responsible for his acts and defaults and for the payment of his remuneration and no Receiver shall at any time act as agent for the Chargee. |
7.10 | Every Receiver shall be entitled to remuneration for his services at a rate to be fixed by agreement between him and the Chargee (or, failing such agreement, to be fixed by the Chargee) appropriate to the work and responsibilities involved, upon the basis of current industry practice. |
8. | FURTHER ASSURANCES |
8.1 | The Chargor shall execute and do all such assurances, acts and things as the Chargee in its reasonable discretion may require for: |
a. | creating, perfecting, protecting or ensuring the priority of the Security Interest hereby created (or intended to be created); |
