for any
 
other
reason
 
whatsoever,
 
shall,
 
in
 
such
 
jurisdiction
 
only
 
and
 
only
 
to
 
the
 
extent
 
that
 
it

effect.

provision if

hereof.

Rights and remedies

exercise, nor any delay
 
in exercising, on the
 
part of any
 
Finance Party,
any
 
right
 
or
 
remedy under
 
this
 
Agreement
 
shall
 
operate as
 
a
 
waiver,
 
nor
 
shall any
single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise
or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies of each Finance
Party under this Agreement -
15.8.1.1
are cumulative and not exclusive of its rights under the general law;

of time or
 
other indulgence which
 
may be given
 
or allowed by
 
any
Party to any other
 
Party in respect of the
 
performance of any obligation or
 
enforcement of
any right under this Agreement, and no single or partial exercise of any right by any Party,
shall be
 
construed to
 
be an
 
implied consent
 
by such
 
Party or
 
operate as
 
a waiver
 
or a
 
novation
of, or otherwise affect any
 
of that Party’s rights under or
 
in connection with this
 
Agreement
or
 
estop
 
such
 
Party
 
from
 
enforcing,
 
at
 
any
 
time
 
and
 
without
 
notice,
 
strict
 
and
 
punctual
compliance with each and every provision or term of this Agreement.
15.10
Independent advice
Each
 
Subordinated
 
Party
 
and
 
Obligor
 
acknowledges
 
that
 
it
 
has
 
been
 
free
 
to
 
secure
independent legal and other advice
 
as to the nature and effect of
 
all of the provisions of this
Agreement and that
 
it has either
 
taken such independent
 
legal and other
 
advice or dispensed
with the necessity of
 
doing so. Further, each Subordinated Party
 
and Obligor acknowledges
that all of the provisions of
 
this Agreement and the restrictions
 
therein contained are part of
the overall intention of the Parties in connection with this Agreement.
15.11

may be
 
executed in
 
any number
 
of counterparts,

same effect
as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of this Agreement.

hereby irrevocably
 
and unconditionally

objection
to this court
 
on the grounds of
 
inconvenient forum or otherwise
 
in relation to
 
proceedings
in connection with this Agreement.
17.3
Clause
 
is for the benefit
 
of the Finance Parties.
 
As a result,
 
no Finance Party shall be
prevented from taking
 
proceedings relating

law, the
 
Finance Parties may take concurrent
