of England are to have jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action or
proceedings, and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in
connection with these presents (respectively, "PROCEEDINGS" and "DISPUTES")
and, for such purposes, irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts.
The MTN Issuer irrevocably waives any objection which it might now or hereafter
have to the courts of England being nominated as the forum to hear and
determine any Proceedings and to settle any Disputes and agrees not to claim
that any such court is not a convenient or appropriate forum.
