The U.S. Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or New York State court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties




hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, Federal court.
