2.	COMMITMENTS; BORROWING AND INTEREST PERIOD SELECTION PROCEDURES, ETC

2.1	Commitments

	(a)	Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Clause 4) each Lender severally and for itself alone agrees that it will, from time to time on any Business Day occurring during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the Commitment Termination Date, make loans (with respect to each Lender, each such loan individually a "Loan") denominated in Dollars to the Borrower as set forth in this Clause.

	(b)	Each Loan made by each Lender pursuant to any Borrowing Request shall be made in a principal amount equal to such Lender's Funding Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans requested by the Borrower to be made on the Borrowing Date specified in such Borrowing Request.

(c)	A Lender shall not be required to make any Loan if, after giving effect thereto the aggregate original principal amount of all Loans:

	(i)	of all Lenders made since the Effective Date would exceed the Total Commitment Amount; or

	(ii)	of such Lender made since the Effective Date would exceed such Xxxxxx's Commitment Amount.

2.2	Procedure for Making Loans

	(a)	By delivering a Borrowing Request to the Facility Agent on or before 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day the Borrower may request, on not less than five (5) nor more than seven (7) Business Days' notice (counting the date on which such Borrowing Request is given), that Loans be made by all Lenders on the Borrowing Date, and in the principal amount, in each case as specified in such Borrowing Request. Upon receipt of a Borrowing Request, the Facility Agent shall promptly notify each Lender and the Principal Facilities Agent of the contents thereof, and such Borrowing Request shall not thereafter be revocable.

	(b)	The aggregate principal amount of Loans requested to be made in any Borrowing Request shall be in an integral multiple of U.S.$1,000,000 and, when aggregated with the Loans to be made on the same Borrowing Date under the Tranche A Loan Agreement, shall be in a minimum amount of U.S.$10,000,000 and a maximum amount of U.S.$25,000,000; provided, however, that the initial Loans may, subject to the other terms and conditions of the Finance Documents, be in such amount as shall enable the Borrower to comply with the condition precedent set forth in Clause 8.1(p) of the Common Terms Agreement..

	(c)	Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Clause 4), the Loans requested to be made in a Borrowing Request shall be made on the requested Borrowing Date. On such Borrowing Date and subject to such terms and conditions, each Lender shall, on or before 11:00 a.m., credit such Dollar account of the Principal Facilities Agent at its Dollar Lending Office as the Principal Facilities Agent may notify to the Lenders with an amount of Dollars equal to such Xxxxxx's Funding Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing Request. To the extent funds are received by the Principal Facilities Agent from the Lenders in respect of the Loans requested by each Borrowing Request (but subject to clause (d)) the Principal Facilities Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower by crediting the principal amount of such Loans to the Moscow Dollar Account. No Lender's obligation to make any Loan as aforesaid shall be affected by any other Lender's failure to make any other Loan.

	(d)	Unless the Principal Facilities Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender prior to 5:00 p.m. on the day prior to a Borrowing Date that such Lender will not make available the principal amount which would constitute its Funding Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the

Loans to be made on such Borrowing Date pursuant to the relevant Borrowing Request, the Principal Facilities Agent may assume that such Xxxxxx has made such principal amount available to the Principal Facilities Agent and may, in reliance on such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In the event that the Principal Facilities Agent makes such corresponding amount available to the Borrower and the relevant Lender has not in fact made such amount available to the Principal Facilities Agent, then such Xxxxxx agrees to pay the Principal Facilities Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Principal Facilities Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is paid by the Lender to the Principal Facilities Agent, at the interest rate (calculated pursuant to Clause 3.2(a)) applicable at the time to the Loans requested to be made pursuant to the relevant Borrowing Request. In the event that such corresponding amount and such interest is not paid to the Principal Facilities Agent by such Lender within five (5) Business Days of the Principal Facilities Agent having made written demand for such amount, then the Borrower agrees to repay such corresponding amount to the Principal Facilities Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Principal Facilities Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is paid by the Borrower to the Principal Facilities Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans requested to be made pursuant to the relevant Borrowing Request.

2.3	Continuation Elections

	By delivering a Continuation Notice to the Facility Agent on or before 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day, the Borrower may from time to time irrevocably elect, on not less than three (3) nor more than five (5) Business Days' notice (counting the date on which such Continuation Notice is given) prior to the expiration of any Interest Period with respect to any then outstanding Loans, that such Loans be, upon the expiration of such Interest Period, continued as Loans for the Interest Period specified in such Continuation Notice; provided, however, that, at any one time (and subject to Clause 5.2(b) of the Common Terms Agreement), only five (5) Interest Periods may be in effect; and provided, further, however, that following any continuation of Loans, each tranche of Loans with identical Interest Periods made by all the Lenders shall be in an aggregate principal amount which is not less than U.S.$5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of U.S.$1,000,000.

	In the absence of delivery of a Continuation Notice with respect to any Loans at least three (3) Business Days before the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such Loans shall, on such last day, automatically be deemed to be continued as Loans having (subject to Clause 3.2(b)) an Interest Period determined pursuant to the provisions of clause (c) of the definition of such term.

	Upon receipt of a Continuation Notice, the Facility Agent shall promptly notify each Lender and the Principal Facilities Agent of the contents thereof, and such Continuation Notice shall not thereafter be revocable.

2.4	Cancellation

	The Borrower may cancel the unutilised portion of the Total Commitment Amount only in accordance with the provisions of Clause 3.3 of the Common Terms Agreement.

2.5	Records

	Each Lender's Loans shall be evidenced by a loan account maintained by such Xxxxxx. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorises each Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate account entries, which account entries, if made, shall evidence inter alia the date of, the principal amount of, any repayments of, the interest rate on, and the Interest Periods applicable to, the Loans then outstanding to such Lender. Any such account entries indicating the outstanding principal amount of the Loans outstanding to such Lender shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid, but the failure to make any such entry shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder to make payments of the principal amount of, or interest on, such Loans when due.

2.6	Funding

	Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfil its obligation to make or maintain any portion of the principal amount of its Loans by causing a foreign branch, affiliate or international banking facility of such Lender to make such Loans; provided, however, that in such event such Loans shall be deemed to have been made by a foreign branch, affiliate or international banking facility of such Lender, the obligation of the Borrower to repay the principal amount of such Loans, and pay interest thereon, shall nevertheless be to such Lender and shall be deemed to be held by it, to the extent of such Loans, for the account of such foreign branch, affiliate or international banking facility; and provided, further, however, that unless such election is made in order for such Lender to comply with applicable law, if as a result of circumstances existing at the date of such election, the Borrower would be obliged to make a payment to such Lender under Clause 7.2 or 7.5 of the Common Terms Agreement, then such Lender shall only be entitled to receive payment under such Clauses to the same extent as such Lender would have been so entitled if such election had not occurred.

	In acting as the Facility Agent or as an MLA, each such Finance Party shall be treated as a separate entity from any other division of such Finance Party (or similar units of such Finance Party in any subsequent reorganisation) or its affiliates and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any of such Finance Party's divisions (or similar units) or affiliates should act for any Group Member in an advisory capacity in relation to any other matter, any

information given by any Group Member to such divisions (or similar units) or affiliates for the purposes of obtaining advice shall be treated as confidential and shall not be available to the other Finance Parties without the consent of the Borrower; and notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied herein and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Finance Party shall not as between itself and the other Finance Parties be bound to disclose to any other Finance Party or other person any information supplied by any Group Member to such Finance Party in its capacity as the Facility Agent or as an MLA hereunder which is identified by such Group Member at the time of supply as being unpublished price sensitive information relating to a proposed transaction by a Group Member to such Finance Party and supplied solely for the purpose of evaluating in consultation with such Finance Party in its capacity as advisor whether such transaction might require a waiver or amendment to any of the provisions contained in any Finance Document.

5.13	Interpretation

	As used in this Clause, "actual knowledge" and "actual notice" of the Facility Agent and the MLA's means actual knowledge or notice of those officers of the Facility Agent, or, as the case may be, the MLA's, from time to time responsible for the performance by the Facility Agent, or, as the case may be, the MLA's, of their respective obligations under the Finance Documents.

5.14	Conduct of Proceedings

	As set forth in the Common Terms Agreement, the Principal Facilities Agent and/or the relevant Representative shall have the sole conduct of any action or proceedings to be taken upon the happening of an Event of Default and in the enforcement of any security granted by the Security Agreements and no Lender shall (unless the Principal Facilities Agent otherwise requests) take any action by itself or in conjunction with any other Lender or any other person to enforce the terms of any of the Finance Documents or to terminate the same. If any Lender notifies the Facility Agent that it wishes to take action as aforesaid, the Facility Agent shall refer the same to the Principal Facilities Agent for referral to the Senior Lenders in accordance with Clause 14.14 of the Common Terms Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, and subject to the Common Terms Agreement, the Facility Agent shall not:

	(a)	formally initiate any legal action or proceedings hereunder against any Obligor on behalf of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender; or

	(b)	exercise on behalf of any of the Lenders any of their rights or remedies hereunder or under the Security Agreements unless it has been instructed to do so in writing by such Xxxxxxx.

5.15	Decisions by the Lenders

	In any case where the materiality of any matter, event or consequence is in question, the Facility Agent shall be entitled (but not bound) to determine the same without reference to the Lenders. Any acknowledgement given by the Facility

Agent to any Obligor that any matter, event or consequence is not material shall be binding on the Lenders.

The Facility Agent shall, unless it reasonably considers the matter in question not to be material, be bound (and shall in any event be entitled) to notify to the Lenders any question relating to the exercise by the Facility Agent of any discretion, or to the giving or withholding by it of any approval or waiver, or of any matter dependent on its opinion, for any purposes under the Finance Documents.

5.16	Manner of Reference to Lenders

	Whenever the Facility Agent refers any question to the Lenders for any of the purposes of this Clause it shall:

	(a)	do so in writing; and

	(b)	state a time (being reasonable in all the circumstances) within which each Lender is to give directions as aforesaid.

	If not all the Lenders reply to the Facility Agent within the required time as aforesaid (or such longer time as the Facility Agent may allow) then the percentage referred to in the definition of Required Lenders shall be deemed to refer to the percentage of the aggregate shares of the Lenders who have so replied.

5.17	Know Your Customer Checks

	(a)	If:

		(i)	the introduction of or any change in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or regulation made after the date of this Agreement;

		(ii)	any change in the status of any Obligor after the date of this Agreement; or

		(iii)	a proposed assignment or transfer by a Lender of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a party that is not a Lender prior to such assignment or transfer;

		obliges the Facility Agent or any Lender (or, in the case of clause (a)(iii), any prospective new Lender) to comply with "know your customer" or similar identification procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Borrower shall promptly upon the request of the Facility Agent or any Lender supply, or procure the supply of, such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Facility Agent (for itself or on behalf of any Lender) or any Lender (for itself or, in the case of the event described in clause (a)(iii), on behalf of any prospective new Lender) in order for the Facility Agent or such Lender or, in the case of the event described in clause (a)(iii), any prospective new Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all

		applicable laws and regulations pursuant to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

	(b)	To the extent permitted by the applicable law of the relevant Lender, each Lender shall promptly upon the request of the Facility Agent supply, or procure the supply of, such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Facility Agent (for itself) in order for the Facility Agent to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations pursuant to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

5.18	No fiduciary duties

	(a)	Except, and to the extent, expressly set forth herein or in any Security Agreement, nothing in this Agreement constitutes the Facility Agent as a trustee or fiduciary of any other person.

	(b)	The Facility Agent shall not be bound to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account.

5.19	Role of the MLA's

	Except as specifically provided in the Finance Documents, no MLA has any obligations of any kind to any other party under or in connection with the Finance Documents.

6.	MISCELLANEOUS

6.1	Waivers, Amendments, etc

	Each of the provisions of this Agreement may from time to time be amended, modified or waived, if such amendment, modification or waiver is in writing and implemented in accordance with Clause 18.1 of the Common Terms Agreement.

	No failure or delay on the part of any Finance Party in exercising any power or right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on any Obligor in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by any Finance Party under this Agreement shall, except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval hereunder shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder.

6.2	Notices

	All notices and other communications provided to any party hereto under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by hand delivery, courier delivery, facsimile or electronic communication and addressed or delivered to it at its address set forth below its signature hereto and designated as its "Address for

	(b)	if transmitted by facsimile, shall be deemed given when transmitted (transmission confirmed by the sending facsimile machine); and

	(c)	if transmitted by electronic communication, shall be deemed given when actually received by the recipient in readable form.

6.3	Survival

6.4	Severability

	Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

6.5	Headings

	The various headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any provisions hereof.

6.6	Counterparts, Effectiveness, etc

	This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall, when executed, be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute together but one and the same agreement. This Agreement shall become effective on the date (the "Effective Date") when counterparts hereof executed on behalf of the Borrower, the MLA's, the Principal Facilities Agent and each Lender (or notice thereof satisfactory to the Facility Agent) shall have been received by the Facility Agent.

6.7	Governing Law

	This Agreement and all matters and disputes relating hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law.

6.8	Assignments and Transfers by the Obligors

	No Obligor shall be entitled to assign or transfer all or any of its respective rights, benefits and obligations under any Finance Document except with the consent of the Lenders.

6.9	Assignments and Transfers by the Lenders

	Any Lender may at any time assign or transfer all or any of its rights and benefits under the Finance Documents to another bank or other financial institution which is a Qualifying Financial Institution in accordance with this Clause 6.9 but subject always to Clause 18.11 of the Common Terms Agreement.

	(a)	Assignments

		Any Lender may at any time assign and transfer, all or, subject to clause (a), a portion of its rights and benefits under the Finance Documents to another bank or financial institution or, in connection with any payment made to a Covered Tranche B Lender pursuant to any Political Risk Insurance, to the issuer of the relevant policy. If any Lender chooses to effect an assignment pursuant to this Clause, such assignment and transfer shall not be effective unless and until the assignee Lender has agreed with the Facility Agent and the other Lenders that the assignee Lender shall be under the same obligations toward each of them as it would have been under if it had been a party hereto as a Lender and the Facility Agent and the other Lenders shall not otherwise be obligated to recognise such assignee Lender as having the rights against each of them which it would have had if it had been such a party hereto. Any assignment or transfer pursuant to this clause (a) shall be effective only after delivery to and acceptance by, the Facility Agent of an instrument, in form and substance satisfactory to it, executed by the assignor Lender and the assignee Lender stating the portion of the Commitment Amount assigned to the assignee Lender and the assignee Lender's administrative details.

	(b)	Transfers

		As an alternative to clause (a), if any Lender (a "Transferor Lender") wishes to transfer all or, subject to clause (c), a portion of its rights, benefits and obligations under the Finance Documents to another bank or financial institution or, in connection with any payment made to a Covered TrancheB Lender pursuant to any Political Risk Insurance to the issuer of the relevant policy (a "Transferee Lender"), then such transfer may be effected by the delivery to the Facility Agent of a duly completed and executed Transfer Certificate, whereupon:



		(i)	to the extent that in such Transfer Certificate the Transferor Lender party thereto seeks to transfer its rights and obligations under each Finance Document, each Obligor, the Facility Agent and such Transferor Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another hereunder and their respective rights against one another shall be cancelled (such rights and obligations being referred to in this Clause as "discharged rights and obligations");

		(ii)	each Obligor, the Facility Agent and the Transferee Lender party thereto shall assume obligations towards one another and acquire rights against one another which differ from such discharged rights and obligations only insofar as such Obligor, the Facility Agent and

such Transferee Lender have assumed and acquired the same in place of such Transferor Lender; and

(iii)

the Facility Agent, such Transferee Lender and the other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had such Transferee Lender been an original party to this Agreement as a Lender with the rights and obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of such transfer.

	(c)	Minimum Amount

		Any assignment or transfer pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of a portion of a Lender's rights and/or benefits shall be in an integral multiple of [CONFIDENTIAL] provided, however, that in the event of any such assignment or transfer to the issuer of any policy of Political Risk Insurance the amount so assigned or transferred, as the case may be, may be in such other amount as the relevant Covered Tranche B Lender may have received pursuant to such policy.

	(d)	Security Agreements

		Within ten (10) Business Days after an assignment or transfer pursuant to this Clause 6.9 and upon the written request (given through the Facility Agent), and at the cost and expense, of the relevant assignee Lender or Transferee Lender, as the case may be, each Obligor will enter into such documentation as the assignee Lender or the Transferee Lender shall reasonably request so as to ensure that the liens created by the Security Agreements secures the Obligations of the Borrower to such assignee Lender or Transferee Lender, as the case may be.

	(e)	Consent

		Any assignment or transfer pursuant to this Clause 6.9 may be effected only with the prior written consent of the Principal Facilities Agent and (at any time when no Default shall have occurred and be continuing) of the Borrower (such consent of the Principal Facilities Agent or the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

	(f)	Reliance on Instruments

		The Facility Agent shall be fully entitled to rely on any written instrument delivered to it in accordance with clause (a) or on any Transfer Certificate which is correct and regular on its face as regards its contents and purportedly executed on behalf of the relevant parties thereto and shall have no liability or responsibility to any party as a consequence of placing reliance upon and acting in accordance with any such written instrument or Transfer Certificate.

(g)	Sub-participations

	Nothing in this Clause 6.9 shall, or shall be deemed to, prevent any Lender from selling any participation or similar interest in its Commitment or Loans and the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that in connection with any such sale, the seller of any such participation shall be entitled to claim under the provisions of Clauses 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 17.4, 17.7, 18.3 and 18.4 of the Common Terms Agreement on behalf of the purchaser of any such participation as if such purchaser was named as a Lender in such provisions (but in no event shall such seller be entitled to claim any amount on behalf of any such purchaser under any such provision which is in excess of the amount which such seller would then be entitled to claim under such provision in respect of the portion of its Commitments or Loans so participated); provided, however, that:

	(i)	for the avoidance of doubt, the sale by any Lender of any such participation or similar interest shall not relieve such Lender of any of its obligations hereunder; and

	(ii)	the Obligors shall be required to deal only with the Lenders and not with any purchaser of a participation from any Lender.

(h)	Fee

	[CONFIDENTIAL]

(i)	Provision of Information

	In connection with any assignment, transfer or sale of a participation or similar interest by any Lender as contemplated by this Clause such Lender may, subject to Clause 6.11, supply to the relevant assignee Lender, Transferee Lender or purchaser such information in its possession with respect to such Xxxxxx's Loans and Commitment and the Finance Documents as such Lender shall deem appropriate.

(j)	Mitigation of Cost

	If any Lender shall assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder and, as a result of circumstances existing at the date of such assignment or transfer, the Borrower would be obliged to make a payment to the assignee Lender or Transferee Lender under Clause 7.2 or 7.5 of the Common Terms Agreement, then the assignee Lender or Transferee Lender shall only be entitled to receive payment under such Clauses to the same extent as the assignor Lender or Transferor Lender would have been so entitled if the assignment or transfer had not occurred; provided, however, that the

provisions of this Clause shall not apply to any assignment or transfer by any Lender in connection with Primary Syndication of the Commitments.

6.10	Other Transactions

	Without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 5.8 or 5.12, nothing contained herein shall preclude any Finance Party from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by any Finance Document, with any Group Member or any of their respective affiliates in which any Group Member or such affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other person.





6.11	Confidentiality

	Information provided by any Obligor hereunder or under any other Finance Document shall not be disclosed by any Finance Party for any purpose other than evaluation, monitoring and review pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that such information may be disclosed:




	(a)	as contemplated by Xxxxxx 6.9(i) if the relevant assignee Lender, Transferee Lender or purchaser is advised such information is confidential and such persons agree to keep such information confidential;



	(b)	to any director, officer or employee of such Finance Party; provided, however, that same is treated in the same manner as other confidential information held by such Finance Party;



	(c)	to legal advisers, accountants and other consultants and professional advisors determined by such Finance Party to require such information for the purpose of assisting in or advising upon such evaluation, monitoring and review, if such persons are advised that such information is confidential to the relevant Obligor;





	(d)	pursuant to applicable law;

	(e)	to the extent that such information is public;

	(f)	to the extent that such information was previously known to such Finance Party through means other than the Obligors, or was acquired from a third party not known to such Finance Party to be under a duty of confidentiality to an Obligor;




	(g)	in connection with the exercise by any Finance Party of any rights and remedies at any time when any Default has occurred and is continuing; or


	(h)	by any Covered Xxxxxxx X Xxxxxx to any issuer of any policy of Political Risk Insurance.


6.12	Dispute Resolution

	(a)	(i)	Any dispute, difference, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including the breach, termination or

invalidity hereof, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules as at present in force.

	(ii)	The arbitral tribunal shall be composed of a sole arbitrator who shall be appointed by agreement between the parties in dispute. Failing such agreement within thirty (30) days from the service of the notice of arbitration, the sole arbitrator shall be appointed by the President for the time being of the London Court of International Arbitration.

	(iii)	The notice of arbitration shall be also served on each and every party who hereby agree to submit any dispute, difference, controversy or claim arising of or in connection with this Agreement before the same arbitral tribunal by intervening in the pending arbitration proceedings commenced pursuant to clauses (a)(i) and (a)(ii). In the event that such proceedings have already been declared closed or discontinued for other reasons the dispute, difference, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled through fresh arbitral proceedings to be commenced in compliance with clauses (a)(i) and (a)(ii).

	(iv)	The arbitral tribunal shall be empowered to settle each and every dispute submitted to it in separate awards and at different times.

	(v)	The place of arbitration shall be London, England and the English language shall be used throughout the arbitral proceedings.

	(vi)	The parties hereby waive any rights under any applicable and procedural law to appeal any arbitration award or to seek determination of a preliminary point of law with respect to such proceedings.

	(vii)	Judgement of the award may be entered into any court having jurisdiction thereof.

(a)

Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any Finance Party to commence legal proceedings or otherwise sue any Obligor in England, Russia, Canada, any Province of Canada or any other appropriate jurisdiction, or concurrently in more than one jurisdiction, or to serve process, pleadings and other legal papers upon any Obligor in any manner authorised by the laws of any such jurisdiction.

6.13	Entire Agreement

	The Finance Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede any previous agreement, written or oral, between the parties relating to the subject matter thereof. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that in entering into this Agreement it does not rely on, and shall have no remedy in respect of, any statement, representation, warranty or understanding (whether negligently or innocently made) of any person (whether party to this Agreement or not) other than as expressly set out in this Agreement as a warranty. The only remedy available to any party hereto for breach of the warranties shall be for breach of contract under

the terms of this Agreement or the relevant Finance Document. Nothing in this Section shall, however, operate to limit or exclude any liability for fraud.

6.14	Waiver of Immunity

	To the extent that any Obligor may be entitled in any jurisdiction to claim for itself or its assets, immunity from suit, execution, attachment or other legal process whatsoever, it hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction.

6.15	Third Party Rights

	A person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce or enjoy the benefit of any term of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunder duly authorised on the day and year first above written.
