	26	 	ENFORCEMENT
	 
	26.1	 	Jurisdiction






	 	(a)	 	Except as otherwise provided in any of the Security Documents and subject to
the Company’s right to propose arbitration pursuant to Clause 26.2 (Arbitration) and
the Lenders’ option to agree to such proposal, or to initiate arbitration pursuant to
Clause 26.2 (Arbitration), the Parties agree that the courts of England shall have
exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any dispute arising out of or in connection with the
Finance Documents (including a dispute regarding the existence, breach, validity or
termination of this Agreement or any of the Finance Documents) (a “Dispute”).
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Parties agree that English law shall govern the determination of any
Dispute regardless of the jurisdiction in which the Dispute is heard.






	26.2	 	Arbitration






	 	(a)	 	Prior to the commencement of any legal proceedings by the Company (other than
Interim Proceedings) in the courts of England in respect of a Dispute the Company
shall give prior notice to the Lenders, and the Lenders acting unanimously shall
indicate to the Company in writing within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice
from the Company, whether that Dispute shall instead be resolved by arbitration
pursuant to this Clause 26.2 (Arbitration), provided that this Clause 26.2
(Arbitration) shall not prejudice the right of the Lenders to commence arbitration in
respect of a Dispute by giving prior notice to the Company. If the Lenders notify the
Company that the Dispute is to be resolved by arbitration, to which the Company shall
not object, the following provisions shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Company shall not be required to give notice pursuant to this Clause prior to the
commencement of Interim Proceedings.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Any arbitration commenced in respect of a Dispute shall be resolved in
accordance with the rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law

save as modified by this Agreement. In any such arbitration:

International Arbitration (the “LCIA”);




-12-









 












	 	(ii)	 	the language to be used in the arbitration shall be English;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the place and seat of the arbitration shall be London,
England; and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	the number of arbitrators shall be three. For the purpose of
Article 7 of the UNCITRAL Rules, where there are multiple parties, whether as
claimant or as respondent, the claimants shall act and be treated, jointly, as
‘a party’ and the respondents shall act and be treated, jointly, as ‘a party’.






	 	(c)	 	In any arbitration commenced pursuant to this Clause 26.2 (Arbitration):






	 	(i)	 	the Parties hereby waive any rights under the Arbitration Act
1996 (UK) to seek determination of a preliminary point of law by the courts of
England; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	subject to the terms of any arbitration agreement agreed
between the Parties and the provisions of the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, the
Company shall be entitled to seek only from the Arbitral Tribunal, but not
from any judicial authority, any interim measures of protection or pre-award
relief (other than any relief sought through Interim Proceedings) against any
of the Finance Parties. Until the Arbitral Tribunal has been constituted, the
Company shall be entitled to institute Interim Proceedings in the courts of
England.






	 	(d)	 	In any arbitral proceeding, the certificate of a Finance Party as to any
amount due to that Finance Party under any Finance Document shall be prima facie
evidence of such amount.






	26.3	 	Service of Process
	 
	 	 	Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, the Company:






	 	(a)	 	irrevocably appoints Chadbourne & Parke MNP of Regis House, 45 King William
Street, London, EC4R 9AN, United Kingdom, as its agent for service of process in
relation to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with any Finance
Document;
	 
	 	(b)	 	agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the Company of the process
will not invalidate the proceedings concerned;
	 
	 	(c)	 	undertakes that as long as any of the Finance Documents remains in force, the
Company shall maintain a duly appointed and authorised agent to receive for and on its
behalf service of the writ of summons or other legal process in any action, suit or
proceeding brought by any Finance Party in the courts of England with respect to each
of the Finance Documents and




-13-









 






	 	 	 	shall keep the Global Agent advised of the identity and location of such agent; and






	 	(d)	 	irrevocably consents, if for any reason the Company’s authorized agent for
service of process of summons, complaint and other legal process in any action, suit
or proceeding is not present in England, to service of such papers being made out of
those courts by mailing copies of the papers by registered air mail, postage prepaid,
to the Company at its address specified pursuant to Clause 20 (Notices). In such a
case, any Finance Party shall also send by facsimile, or have sent by facsimile, a
copy of the papers to the Company.






	26.4	 	Waiver






	 	(a)	 	To the extent that the Company may be entitled in any jurisdiction to claim
for itself or its assets immunity with respect to its obligations under this Agreement
or any other Finance Document from any suit, execution, attachment (whether
provisional or final, in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other
legal process or to the extent that in any jurisdiction that immunity (whether or not
claimed), may be attributed to it or its assets, the Company irrevocably agrees not to
claim and irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent now or in the future
permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction.
	 
	 	(b)	 	To the extent that the Company may, in any suit, action or proceeding brought
in any of the courts referred to in Clause 26.1 (Jurisdiction) or a court of Kenya,
Cayman Islands or elsewhere arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Finance Document to which the Company is a party, be entitled to the benefit of
any provision of law requiring any Finance Party in such suit, action or proceeding to
post security for the costs of the Company, or to post a bond or to take similar
action, the Company hereby irrevocably waives such benefit, in each case to the
fullest extent now or in the future permitted under the laws of England, Cayman
Islands or Kenya or, as the case may be, the jurisdiction in which such court is
located.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Each Party waives any right it may have to a jury trial of any claim or cause
of action in connection with any Finance Documents or any transaction contemplated by
any Finance Document. This Agreement may be filed as a written consent to trial by
court.






	26.5	 	Consolidation of Arbitral Proceedings
	 
	 	 	The arbitral tribunal constituted pursuant to Clause 26.2 (Arbitration) may consolidate an
arbitration arising out of or relating to this Agreement with any arbitration arising out
of or relating to one or more Finance Documents that provides for arbitration by the London
Court of International Arbitration, if the




-14-









 












	 	 	subject matter of the disputes arises out of or relates to essentially the same facts or
transactions. Such consolidated arbitration shall be determined by the arbitral tribunal
appointed for the arbitration proceeding that was commenced first in time. Except as
otherwise provided in this Clause 26.5 (Consolidation of Arbitral Proceedings), the rights
of the Parties to proceed with dispute resolution hereunder shall be independent of their
rights to proceed with dispute resolution under any of the other Finance Documents.




THIS AGREEMENT has been entered into by the Parties on the date stated at the beginning of this
Agreement.
