(b)    Each Party seeking (i) interim relief pursuant to clause 10.2 or (ii) to enter or enforce any award, judgment or order of an arbitral tribunal, may do so in (A) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, in and for New York County, and the 

United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any of the preceding courts, (B) the competent courts of England and Wales, or (C) the competent courts of the Republic of India located in New Delhi or Mumbai.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, judgment on any award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof over a Party or its assets. 
(c)    Each Party waives any objection to the exercise of jurisdiction by any of the courts referred to in 10.9(a) or 10.9(b) and to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient forum.
(d)    Each Party agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Party at its address referred to in clause 11.1 or at such other address as the Parties shall have been notified pursuant to clause 11.1, and agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by Law.

10.10    Remedies.  The Parties agree that (a) any breach of this Agreement by any Party may result in immeasurable and irreparable harm to the other Parties, (b) monetary damages may be an inadequate remedy for such breach, and (c) in addition to any other rights or remedies that such other Parties may have, such other Parties shall be entitled to (i) interim relief in any court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 10.2, (ii) equitable relief, including specific performance, from an arbitral tribunal pursuant to Section 10.3, and (iii) enter or enforce any award, judgment, or order of an arbitral tribunal pursuant to Section 10.9(b) in addition to any and all other legal or equitable remedies available to them.  Each Party agrees (A) not to oppose the granting of any such relief on the grounds that monetary damages would be an adequate remedy, and (B) to waive any requirement for the posting of any bond in connection with such relief.  
11.    MISCELLANEOUS
11.1    Notices. The provisions of Section 15.1 (Notices) of the Shareholders’ Agreement shall apply to this Agreement and are incorporated by reference mutatis mutandis as if set forth at 

length in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement is a Transaction Document as defined in the Shareholders’ Agreement.
11.2    Costs and Expenses.  Each Party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
11.3    Assignment.  This Agreement (and the rights and obligations hereunder) shall not be assignable or otherwise transferable by any Party, without the prior written consent of the other Party. 
11.4    Effect of Waiver or Consent.  A failure or delay in exercising any right in respect of this Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right will not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right.  Any modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will not be effective unless made in writing.  Any such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose given.  Any waiver shall not create any right of a Party benefiting from such waiver to receive any similar (or any other) waiver in the future, and shall not create any right of any other Party to receive a waiver, whether in a similar circumstance or in any other circumstance, and whether or not the waiver sought by such Party is similar to a waiver obtained by any other Party.

11.9    Further Assurances.  Each Party shall execute and deliver all such future instruments and take such other and further action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to carry out the intention of the Parties as expressed in this Agreement.
11.10    Severability.  If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining provisions of this Agreement will be unimpaired, and 

each illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision will be replaced by a mutually acceptable provision, which being legal, valid, and enforceable, comes closest to the intention of the Parties underlying the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision.
11.11    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in more than one counterpart, each of which upon execution and delivery will constitute an original and all of which when taken together will constitute one agreement.
