Arbitration

(a)

Any dispute, claim, difference or controversy arising out of, relating to or having any connection with this Agreement or (unless such document expressly provides otherwise) any other Company Finance Document, including any dispute as to its existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination or the consequences of its nullity and any dispute relating to any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it (a Dispute), shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the LCIA Arbitration Rules (the Rules).

(b)	The Rules are incorporated by reference into this Clause 35 or 35.1 and capitalised terms used in this Clause which are not otherwise defined in this Agreement, have the meaning given to them in the Rules.

(c)

The number of arbitrators shall be three. The Company shall nominate one arbitrator for appointment by the LCIA Court. The Lender shall nominate one arbitrator for appointment by the LCIA Court. The two party-appointed arbitrators will nominate the chairman for appointment by the LCIA Court. If, within 30 days of the Request for Arbitration being sent to the LCIA Registrar, (i) the Company does not make a nomination for an arbitrator or (ii) the Lender does not make a nomination for an arbitrator, the LCIA Court shall appoint such arbitrator. Any requirement in the Rules to take account of the nationality of a person considered for appointment as an arbitrator shall be disapplied and a person may be nominated or appointed as an arbitrator (including as Chairman) regardless of his nationality.


(d)	(i)	The seat, or legal place of arbitration, shall be London. The language used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English.

	(ii)	All documents submitted in connection with the proceedings shall be in the English language or, if in another language, accompanied by an English translation.

(e)	The jurisdiction of the English courts under sections 45 and 69 of the Arbitration Xxx 0000 is excluded.

35.2

Consolidation of disputes

(a)	In this Clause 35.2:

Joinder Order means an order by a Tribunal that a Primary Dispute and a Linked Dispute be resolved in the same arbitral proceedings.

Linked Agreement means each Finance Document (except for this Agreement) which contemplates that disputes under that Finance Document will be resolved by arbitration under the Rules.

Linked Dispute means any dispute, claim, difference or controversy arising out of, relating to or having any connection with this Agreement or any Linked Agreement, including any dispute as to its existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination or the consequences of its nullity and any dispute relating to any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it, where a Request for Arbitration is served after a Request for Arbitration has been served in respect of a Primary Dispute.

Primary Dispute means any dispute, claim, difference or controversy arising out of, relating to or having any connection with this Agreement or any Linked Agreement, including any dispute as to its existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination or the consequences of its

nullity and any dispute relating to any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it, where a Request for Arbitration has been served before a Request for Arbitration has been served in relation to a Linked Dispute.

Tribunal means any arbitral tribunal appointed under this Agreement or any Linked Agreement.

(b)	Any party to a Primary Dispute and a Linked Dispute may apply to the Tribunal appointed in relation to the Primary Dispute for a Joinder Order in relation to any Linked Dispute.

(c)	The applicant must promptly notify the parties to the Primary Dispute and Linked Dispute of any application under paragraph (b) above.

(d)	A Tribunal may, if it considers it just, make a Joinder Order on hearing an application brought under paragraph (b) above. In determining whether to make a Joinder Order, the Tribunal must take account of:

(i)

the likelihood and consequences of inconsistent decisions if joinder is not ordered;

(ii)

any fault on the part of the party seeking joinder to make a timely application; and

(iii)

the likely consequences of joinder in terms of cost and time.

(e)	If the Tribunal makes a Joinder Order:

(i)

it will immediately have jurisdiction to resolve finally the Linked Dispute in addition to its jurisdiction in relation to the Primary Dispute to the exclusion of any other Tribunal;

(ii)

it shall order that notice of the Joinder Order and its effect be given immediately to any arbitrators already appointed in relation to the Linked Dispute and to all parties to that dispute; and

(iii)

it may also give any other directions as it considers appropriate to:

(A)

give effect to the joinder and make provision for any costs which may result from it (including costs in any arbitration rendered functus officio as a result); and

(B)

ensure the proper organisation of the arbitration proceedings and that all the issues between the parties are properly formulated and resolved.

(f)	Any appointment of an arbitrator in relation to the Linked Dispute before the date of the Joinder Order will terminate immediately and that arbitrator will be deemed to be functus officio. The termination is without prejudice to:

(i)

the validity of any act done or order made by that arbitrator before termination;

(ii)

his entitlement to be paid his proper fees and disbursements; and

(iii)

the date when any claim or defence was raised for the purpose of applying any limitation bar or any like rule or provision.

(g)

If a Joinder Order is made by a Tribunal appointed under a Linked Agreement, the effect of which is to confer on that Tribunal jurisdiction to resolve a Linked Dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, that Joinder Order and the award of that Tribunal will bind the parties to the Primary Dispute and the Linked Dispute being heard by that Tribunal.

(h)

For the avoidance of doubt, where a Tribunal is appointed under this Agreement or any Linked Agreement, the whole of its award (including any part relating to a Linked Dispute) is deemed for the purposes of the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Arbitral Awards of 1958 to be contemplated by this Agreement and that Linked Agreement.

(i)	If it is considered reasonable by the Tribunal, and in its absolute discretion, the Tribunal will use its best efforts to render its final award or awards four months from the later of the date of appointment of the Tribunal by the LCIA Court and any Joinder Order (if any).

(j)	Each of the Parties waives any objection, on the basis of a Joinder Order, to the validity or enforcement of any arbitral award made by a Tribunal following that Joinder Order.

35.3

Waiver of immunity

The Company irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a)

agrees not to claim any immunity from proceedings brought by the Lender against it in relation to a Finance Document and to ensure that no such claim is made on its behalf;

(b)

consents generally to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with those proceedings; and

(c)

waives all rights of immunity in respect of it or its assets.”.

are true and correct; and

would also be true and correct if references to the Agreement were construed as references to the Agreement as amended by this deed.

Each Repeating Representation is applied to the circumstances existing at the time the Repeating Representation is made.

5.	Confirmation

The Company confirms that, from the date of this deed, any security or guarantee created or given by it under a Finance Document will:

(a)

continue in full force and effect; and

(b)

extend to the liabilities and obligations of the Obligors to the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents as amended by this deed.

(d)	Except to the extent expressly waived in this deed, no waiver of any provision of any Finance Document is given by the terms of this deed and the Finance Parties expressly reserve all their rights and remedies in respect of any breach of, or other Default under, the Finance Documents.
