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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, EBRD has made an express submission to arbitration under Section 14.9(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 14.9(a).




Section 14.11 Waiver of Sovereign Immunity




The Borrower represents and warrants to EBRD that this Deed, the Loan Agreement, 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 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.

(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.
