We further agree to store and hold the Goods on trust for DBS, with authority (subject to any subsequent revocation of such authority) to sell the same as agent and for the account of DBS at full market value but without authority to make any other disposition whatsoever of the Goods or any part thereof or the proceeds of sale of such Goods as part thereof either by way of conditional sale, pledge, charge or otherwise.
2. For the avoidance of doubt, where documents released to us consist of less than the full set of bills of lading, we confirm that the terms and conditions stated herein and all your right conferred herein shall nevertheless apply.

We agree to obtain delivery of and to warehouse the Goods on your behalf but at our expense, and to hand to you upon your demand all warehouseman receipt, attornment or such document evidencing title or right of possession. We shall keep DBS informed at all times of any movement of goods from the place of storage.

4. We agree that as documents are released to us hereunder, we are deemed to have accepted the documents as well as waived all our rights to reject the documents on any ground, including the ground that the documents presented are incomplete or do not comply with the requirements of the Letter of Credit or of the Collection Bill and/or that they otherwise contain any discrepancies.
5. We also undertake to keep the Goods fully insured against fire, theft, pilferage, marine risks and/or such other risks or contingencies if any as the Bank may from time to time require and to hold the policies on behalf of DBS and to pay the sum insured in case of loss to DBS immediately. Such warehousing and storage charges, insurance premium and any other expenses incurred on or in relation to the Goods should be borne entirely by us. We also undertake to take all steps towards the recovery of any losses or damages suffered by DBS in respect of the Goods, including if required by DBS, commencing proceedings in our own name or in the joint names of DBS and us.
6. Where the Goods or any part thereof are sold, we agree to hold and do so hold the proceeds of sale as soon as received on trust for DBS and to hand over to or otherwise place the proceeds of sale in a designated account with DBS immediately thereafter, to be applied in payment against such of our indebtedness to DBS whether or not arising out of or in connection with the Collection Bill or Letter of Credit referenced above or the Goods.
7. We confirm that the Goods and any products manufactured therefrom (over which you are entitled to the rights as are vested in you herein in relation to the Goods) would not be subject to any other security, lien or encumbrance. We further warrant that we are not indebted to the Buyer of the Goods and the Buyer of such Goods does not have any actual or contingent right of set-off against us which may lead to a reduction of the proceeds of sale payable on the Goods.
8. DBS may at any time at its sole discretion, terminate this trust, demand or resume possession of the Goods and/or demand payment or a legal assignment of the proceeds of sale of the Goods. In the event of any failure on our part to observe the terms of the application for issuance of the Letter of Credit, the Collection Bill or this Trust Receipt, any failure to make or lateness in payment of the amount under the Letter of Credit, the Collection Bill or any part thereof or the proceeds of sale to DBS, all of our obligations, acceptances, indebtedness and liabilities whatsoever shall thereupon (with or without notice) mature and become due and payable.
