	 	(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

	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 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




-14-









 






	 	 	 	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 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.
