jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action or proceedings, and to settle any disputes,
which may arise out of or in connection with this Indemnity and, for such purposes, irrevocably
submit to the jurisdiction of such courts.

settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with this Indemnity and agree not to
claim that any such court is not a convenient or appropriate forum.



The submission to the jurisdiction of the courts referred to above shall not (and shall not be
construed so as to) limit your right to take proceedings against us in any other court of competent
jurisdiction nor shall the taking of proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the
taking of proceedings in another jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.



IN WITNESS of which this Indemnity has been entered into, executed and delivered as a deed on the
date stated at the beginning of this Indemnity.
