Governing Law and Dispute Resolution 11.1 This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of, or in connection with, it shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, English law. 11.2 Any Dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any related agreement (s), including any question regarding its or their existence, validity, breach, termination or enforceability, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “HKIAC”) under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the notice of arbitration is submitted (the “HKIAC Rules”) which are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Clause 11.2, except as they may be modified herein or by mutual agreement of the Parties. 11.3 The tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators. The parties to the Dispute shall each nominate one arbitrator, provided that where there are multiple claimants or multiple respondents, the multiple claimants jointly and the multiple respondents jointly shall nominate an arbitrator. The third arbitrator, who will be the chairman of the tribunal, shall be nominated by the two party-nominated arbitrators. The chairman of the tribunal must be a solicitor or barrister qualified in England and Wales, with at least ten (10) years of experience. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the HKIAC Rules, in agreeing upon a third arbitrator, the two party-nominated arbitrators may communicate directly with each other and their respective nominating parties. If no agreement is reached upon the third arbitrator within ten (10) Business Days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, HKIAC shall expeditiously nominate and appoint a third arbitrator to act as chairman of the arbitral tribunal (as applicable). If the claimant or claimant parties and/or the respondent or respondent parties fail to nominate an arbitrator in accordance with this Clause 11.3 within twenty (20) Business Days after the deadline to submit the answer to the notice of arbitration, an arbitrator shall be appointed on their behalf in accordance with the HKIAC Rules. In such circumstances, any existing nomination or confirmation of an arbitrator shall be unaffected, and the remaining arbitrator(s) shall be appointed in accordance with this Clause 11.3. Each party expressly agrees and consents to this process for nominating and appointing the arbitrators. 11.4 The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. 11.5 The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. 11.6 The governing law of this arbitration agreement shall be English law. 11.7 The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties, and the parties undertake to carry out any award without delay. Except as provided in Clause 11.8, judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction over the award or over the relevant party or its assets. 11.8 Each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall not, and it shall procure that its Affiliates shall not, bring any action, claim or proceedings in any court in Russia (including pursuant to Articles 248.1 and 248.2 of the Arbitrazh Procedure Code of the Russian Federation) or in any other jurisdiction or dispute resolution forum other than (i) as set out in Clause 11.2 in relation to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated therein or (ii) any enforcement proceeding in relation to an arbitral award obtained in accordance with Clause 11.2 (each such restricted action, claim or proceeding, a “Restricted Party Claim”). 11.9 Each Party hereby covenants with each other Party to hold such Party and its Affiliates harmless and on such Party’s demand to indemnify such Party and its Affiliates for and against (and hereby covenants on such Party’s demand to pay such Party and its Affiliates an amount equal to) all documented losses, liabilities, claims, actions, demands, damages or costs and expenses (including documented fees of external legal advisers) incurred by such Party or any of its Affiliates resulting from or arising out of or in connection with a Restricted Party Claim of the Party giving the covenant hereunder (or a Restricted Party Claim of an Affiliate of such Party). 11.10 Any Party to this Agreement serving a notice of arbitration shall send a copy of that notice to every other Party. Any respondent to a claim may join any other Party as a party to the arbitration, to afford that party an opportunity to defend against the claim or to assert against that party a substantially related claim. Any Party that is not already a party to the arbitration may intervene as a party to the arbitration to defend against a claim or to assert against any other Party a substantially related claim. Any joined or intervening Party shall be bound by any award rendered by the arbitration tribunal even if such Party chooses not to participate in the arbitration proceedings. Any joinder or intervention pursuant to this Clause shall be made by serving written notice on all Parties within thirty (30) days from receipt of the notice of arbitration to which the joinder or intervention relates. The arbitral tribunal shall resolve any disputes as to whether the joinder or intervention is admissible under the terms of this Clause and whether and to what extent any other pending arbitration proceedings between Parties shall be stayed or discontinued in the interest of efficiency. The tribunal’s decision shall be binding. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “claim” as used in this Clause includes any claim, counterclaim, crossclaim, or claim by or against a joined or intervening Party. 11.11 In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related disputes, and upon request of any party to the arbitration proceeding, the arbitration tribunal may consolidate the arbitration proceeding with any other arbitration proceeding relating to this Agreement or any related agreement (s). The arbitration tribunal shall not consolidate such arbitrations unless it determines that (i) there are issues of fact or law common to the two proceedings such that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (ii) no party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise.

Procedure Upon Termination of Trust Fund (a) Notice of any termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.01, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the final distribution shall be made, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by first class mail to Certificateholders mailed upon (x) the sale of all of the property of the Trust Fund by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01(b) or (y) upon the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property in the Trust Fund. Such notice shall specify (A) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates of all amounts required to be distributed to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02 will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the Corporate Trust Office, and (B) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distribution being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Holders of the Certificates. Upon any such termination, the duties of the Certificate Registrar with respect to the Certificates shall terminate and the Trustee shall terminate or request the Master Servicer to terminate, the Collection Account it maintains, the Certificate Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates, subject to the Trustee’s obligation hereunder to hold all amounts payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment. (b) In the event that all of the Holders do not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within three months after the time specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of such Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the amounts distributable to such Holders. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall, subject to applicable state law relating to escheatment, hold all amounts distributable to such Holders for the benefit of such Holders. No interest shall accrue on any amount held by the Trustee and not distributed to a Certificateholder due to such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for payment of the final distribution thereon in accordance with this Section. (c) Any reasonable expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with any termination or liquidation of the Trust Fund shall be reimbursed from proceeds received from the liquidation of the Trust Fund.
