Notwithstanding
Clause 8.1 above, this Agreement and any other Finance Document, and any rights

England or in any other courts having jurisdiction. For the benefit of EBRD,
the Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of
the courts of England with respect to any dispute, controversy or claim arising
out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Finance Document, or the

agent to receive service of process and any other legal summons in England for

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.

modification of any immunities, privileges or exemptions of EBRD accorded under
the Agreement Establishing the European Bank for Reconstruction and
Development, international convention or any applicable law.

 

9.2         Waiver of immunity

 

The
Borrower irrevocably agrees that, should any party take any proceedings
anywhere (whether for an injunction, specific performance, damages or
otherwise), no immunity (to the extent that it may at any time exist, whether
on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise) from those proceedings, from
attachment (whether in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) of its
assets or from execution of judgment shall be claimed by it or on behalf of it
or with respect to its assets, any such immunity being irrevocably waived. The
Borrower irrevocably agrees that it and its

assets
are, and shall be, subject to such proceedings, attachment or execution in
respect of its obligations under the Finance Documents.
