			This Clause 10.1 is for the benefit of the Agent and the Co-ordinator only.

	10.3		For the purpose of securing its obligations under Clause 10.2, each of the Borrower and the Guarantor irrevocably agrees that, if it for any reason fails to appoint a process agent within the period specified in Clause 10.2, the Agent may appoint any person (including a company controlled by or associated with the Agent or any Lender) to act as the Borrower’s or the Guarantor’s (as the case may be) process agent in England with the unconditional authority described in Clause 10.2.

	10.4		No neglect or default by a process agent appointed or designated under this Clause (including a failure by it to notify the Borrower or the Guarantor (as the case may be) of the service of any process or to forward any process to the Borrower or the Guarantor (as the case may be)) shall invalidate any proceedings or judgment.

	10.5		Each of the Borrower and the Guarantor appoints in the case of the courts of England the Process Agent to receive, for and on its behalf service of process in England of any legal proceedings with respect to this Deed.

	10.6		A judgment relating to this Deed which is given or would be enforced by an English court shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and/or the Guarantor (as the case may be) and may be enforced without review in any other jurisdiction.

	10.7		Nothing in this Clause shall exclude or limit any right which the Agent or the Co-ordinator may have (whether under the laws of any country, an international convention or otherwise) with regard to the bringing of proceedings, the service

			of process, the recognition or enforcement of a judgment or any similar or related matter in any jurisdiction.

	10.8		In this Clause “judgment” includes order, injunction, declaration and any other decision or relief made or granted by a court.

IN WITNESS whereof the parties hereto have caused this Deed to be duly executed as a deed on the day and year first before written.
