9                              Applicable law

 

9.1                    Law

 

This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations connected with it are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with English law.

 

9.2                    Submission to jurisdiction

 

Each of the Relevant Parties agrees, for the benefit of the Creditors, that any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any non-contractual obligations connected with it against any of the Relevant Parties or any of its assets may be brought in the English courts.

The submission to such jurisdiction shall not (and shall not be construed so as to) limit the right of the Creditors or any of them to take proceedings against any of the Relevant Parties in the courts of any other competent jurisdiction nor shall the taking of proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.  The parties further agree that only the Courts of England and not those of any other State shall have jurisdiction to determine any claim which any of the Relevant Parties may have against the Creditors or any of them arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any non-contractual obligations connected with it.
