agrees that it shall not seek from any judicial authority, any interim measures
of protection or pre-award relief against EBRD, any provisions of the UNCITRAL
Arbitration Rules notwithstanding. The arbitral tribunal shall have authority to
consider and include in any proceeding, decision or award any further dispute
properly brought before it by EBRD (but no other party) insofar as such dispute
arises out of any Financing Agreement, but, subject to the foregoing, no other
parties or other disputes shall be included in, or consolidated with, the
arbitral proceedings. In any arbitral proceeding, the certificate of EBRD as to
any amount due to EBRD under any Financing Agreement shall be prima facie
evidence of such amount.
 
(b)Notwithstanding Section 14.09(a), this Deed and the other Financing
Agreements, and any rights of EBRD arising out of or relating to this Deed or
any other Financing Agreement, may, at the option of EBRD, be enforced by EBRD
in the courts of Kazakhstan, the United States of America or in any other courts
having jurisdiction: For the benefit of EBRD, the Borrower hereby irrevocably
submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England with respect
to any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Deed or
any other Financing Agreement, or the breach, termination or invalidity hereof
or thereof. The Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process
or any other legal summons out of such courts by mailing copies thereof by
registered airmail postage prepaid to its address specified herein. The Borrower
covenants and agrees that, so long as it has any obligations under this Deed, it
shall maintain a duly appointed agent to receive service of process and any
other legal summons in England for purposes of any legal

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

action or proceeding brought by EBRD in respect of any Financing Agreement and
shall keep EBRD advised of the identity and location of such agent. Nothing
herein shall affect the right of EBRD to commence legal actions or proceedings
against the Borrower in any manner authorised by the laws of any relevant
jurisdiction. The commencement by EBRD of legal actions or proceedings in one or
more jurisdictions shall not preclude EBRD from commencing legal actions or
proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not. The Borrower
irrevocably waives any objection it may now or hereafter have on any grounds
whatsoever to the laying of venue of any legal action or proceeding and any
claim it may now or hereafter have that any such legal action or proceeding has
been brought in an inconvenient forum.
 
Section 14.10 Privileges and Immunities of EBRD
 
Nothing in this Deed shall be construed as a waiver, renunciation or other
modification of any immunities, privileges or exemptions of EBRD accorded under
the Agreement Establishing the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development,
international convention or any Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
EBRD has made an express submission to arbitration under Section 14.09(a) and
accordingly, and without prejudice to its other privileges and immunities
(including, without limitation, the inviolability of its archives), it
acknowledges that it does not have immunity from suit and legal process under
Article 5(2) of Statutory Instrument 1991, No. 757 (The European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development (Immunities and Privileges) Order 1991), or any
similar provision under English law, in respect of the enforcement of an
arbitration award duly made against it as a result of its express submission to
arbitration pursuant to Section 14.09(a).
 
Section 14.11 Waiver of Sovereign Immunity
 
The Borrower represents and warrants to EBRD that this Deed, the Loan Agreement
and any other Financing Agreements and the undertakings by the Borrower under
any such Financing Agreements to which it is a party are commercial rather than
public or governmental acts and that the Borrower is not entitled to claim

LONDON - 108714.17

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

immunity from legal proceedings with respect to itself or any of its assets on
the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise under any Applicable Law or in any
jurisdiction where an action may be brought for the enforcement of any of the
obligations arising under or relating to this Deed or the other Financing
Agreements. To the extent that the Borrower or any of its assets has or
hereafter may acquire any right to immunity from set-off, legal proceedings,
attachment prior to judgment, other attachment or execution of judgment on the
grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, the Borrower hereby irrevocably waives such
rights to immunity in respect of its obligations arising under or relating to
this Deed, the Loan Agreement or any other Financing Agreements.
 
Section 14.12 No Reliance
 
The Borrower acknowledges that EBRD is entering into this Deed, and has acted,
solely in its capacity as a lender under the Loan Agreement, and not as an
advisor to the Borrower. The Borrower represents and warrants that, in entering
into this Deed, it has engaged and relied upon advice given to it by its own
legal, financial and other professional advisors and it has not relied on and
will not hereafter rely on any advice given to it by EBRD.
 
Section 14.13 Successors and Assigns
 
(a) This Deed binds and inures to the benefit of the respective successors,
assignees and permitted transferees of the parties hereto.
 
(b) The Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of its
rights or obligations under this Deed without the prior written consent of EBRD.
 
(c) EBRD may sell, transfer, assign, novate or otherwise dispose of all or part
of its rights or obligations under this Deed and the other Financing Agreements
without the consent of the Borrower. (ii) Upon receipt by the Borrower of
written notice of any assignment of rights against the Borrower under this Deed,
such assignment shall take effect as an absolute assignment and the assignee
shall

LONDON - 108714.17

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

accordingly be entitled to sue the Borrower without joining EBRD as a party to
the proceedings. For the avoidance of doubt, EBRD shall be entitled to sue the
Borrower pursuant to any right not assigned without joining the assignee as a
party to the proceedings. (iii) The Borrower irrevocably agrees that, if it
receives written notice of any transfer of any kind whatsoever of obligations
owed to the Borrower under this Deed and the transferee confirms in such notice
that it will perform such transferred obligations, then upon receipt of such
notice such obligations shall be novated and after that shall be owed to the
Borrower by the transferee and not by the transferor.
 
Section 14.14 Rights of Third Parties
 
A person who is not a party to this Deed has no rights under the Contracts
(Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce or enjoy the benefit of any term
of this Deed (except as provided in Sections 14.13(a) to 14.13(c)).
 
Section 14.15 Default Interest
 
(a) Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of EBRD under this Deed or
any other Financing Agreement, any other agreement or instrument or by
Applicable Law, if the Borrower fails to pay any amount payable by it under this
Deed, the Borrower shall forthwith on demand by EBRD pay interest on such
overdue amount from and including the due date up to the date of actual payment
(as well after as before judgment) at the rate per annum which is equal to the
Interest Rate in effect immediately before the due date, provided that EBRD
shall not be entitled to charge default interest on the same defaulted sum under
both this Section 14.15 and the equivalent provision of another Financing
Agreement.
 
(b) Interest at the rate referred to in Section 14.15(a) shall accrue from the
date on which payment of the relevant overdue amount became due until the date
of actual payment of that amount and shall become payable on demand or, if not
demanded, on each Interest Payment Date falling after such overdue amount became
due.

LONDON - 108714.17

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Section 14.16 Set-off
 
EBRD shall have the right, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off
any amount owed by EBRD to the Borrower, whether or not matured, against any
amount then due and payable by the Borrower under any Financing Agreement,
whether or not EBRD has demanded payment by the Borrower of such amount and
regardless of the currency or place of payment of either such amount.
 
Section 14.17 No Partnership or Agency.
 
Nothing in this Deed (or any of the arrangements contemplated hereby) shall be
deemed to constitute a partnership between the parties hereto nor save as
expressly provided herein constitute any party the agent of any other for any
purpose.
 
Section 14.18 Deed as Property of EBRD.
 
This Deed is and will remain the property of EBRD after any release, settlement,
discharge or arrangement relating to the liability of the Borrower under this
Deed.
 
Section 14.19 Certificates
 
A certificate by any officer of EBRD specifying amounts due and payable under or
in connection with any of the provisions of this Deed, together with any
relevant calculations supporting the amounts set out as such certificate as
being due and payable, shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive
and binding on the Borrower.

Section 14.20 Disclosure
 
EBRD may disclose such documents, information and records regarding the Borrower
or any other party to a Financing Agreement and this transaction (including,
without limitation, copies of this Deed and any Financing Agreement) as EBRD
deems appropriate in connection with any dispute involving the Borrower or any
other party to a Financing Agreement, for the purpose of preserving or enforcing
any of EBRD's rights under any Financing Agreement or collecting any amount
owing to EBRD or in connection with any proposed Participation or any other
proposed sale, transfer, assignment, novation or other disposal contemplated by
above Section 14.13 (Successors and Assigns).
 
Section 14.21 Severability.
 
Each of the provisions of this Deed shall be severable and distinct from one
another and if at any time any one or more of those provisions (or any part
thereof) is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired. In this event, to the extent practicable under the circumstances,
the parties to this Deed shall negotiate in good faith to replace the void,
illegal or unenforceable provision with a valid, legal and enforceable provision
which corresponds as far as possible to the spirit and purpose of the void,
illegal or unenforceable provision.
 
Section 14.22 Counterparts
 
This Deed may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
agreement.
