4.		THIRD PARTY RIGHTS

		Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer on any person any right to enforce any term of this Agreement which that person would not have had but for the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇.

5.		GOVERNING LAW; ARBITRATION

5.1		This Agreement is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, English law.

5.2		Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration (the “Rules”) of the London Court of International Arbitration (the “LCIA Court”) in force at the date of this Agreement, which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference to this clause 5. There shall be three arbitrators, and the Parties agree that one arbitrator shall be nominated by each party for appointment by the LCIA Court in accordance with the Rules. The third arbitrator who shall act as the chairman of the tribunal, shall be nominated by agreement of the two party-approved arbitrators within fourteen days of the confirmation of the appointment of the second arbitrator, or in default of such agreement, appointed by the LCIA Court. The seat of the arbitration shall be London. The language of this arbitration shall be English.

The arbitral tribunal shall not consolidate such arbitrations unless it determines that (a) there are issues of fact or law common to the arbitrations in question so that a consolidated

proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (b) no Party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise. In the event of different rulings on this question by the arbitration tribunal constituted hereunder and the tribunal constituted under any Related Agreement, the ruling of the first formed panel shall control. In the case of the consolidated proceeding, the arbitrators in that proceeding shall be appointed by the LCIA Court.

There shall be three arbitrators, and the Parties agree that one arbitrator shall be nominated by each party for appointment by the LCIA Court in accordance with the Rules. The third arbitrator who shall act as the chairman of the tribunal, shall be nominated by agreement of the two party-approved arbitrators within fourteen days of the confirmation of the appointment of the second arbitrator,

		or in default of such agreement, appointed by the LCIA Court. The seat of the arbitration shall be London. The language of this arbitration shall be English.

27.3		The arbitrators shall have the power to grant any legal or equitable remedy or relief available under law, including but not limited to injunctive relief, whether interim and/or final, and specific performance, and any measures ordered by the arbitrators may be specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. Each Party retains the right to seek interim or provisional measures, including but not limited to injunctive relief and including but not limited to pre-arbitral attachments or injunctions, from any court of competent jurisdiction, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with the agreement to arbitrate or a waiver of the right to arbitrate.

27.4		In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related disputes, the Parties agree that upon request of any Party to an arbitration pursuant to this Clause 27, the arbitral tribunal may, within 90 days of its appointment, consolidate the arbitration with any other arbitration or proposed arbitration involving any of the Parties and relating to this Agreement and/or any other agreement (a “Related Agreement”) for the sale and purchase of any participation interest in the Company other than the Participation Interests executed simultaneously with this Agreement. The arbitral tribunal shall not consolidate such arbitrations unless it determines that (a) there are issues of fact or law common to the arbitrations in question so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (b) no Party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise. In the event of different rulings on this question by the arbitration tribunal constituted hereunder and the tribunal constituted under any Related Agreement, the ruling of the first formed panel shall control. In the case of the consolidated proceeding, the arbitrators in that proceeding shall be appointed by the LCIA Court.

28.		LANGUAGE

28.1		This Agreement is written in English and Russian, except for the New Charter, which is written in English and Ukrainian.

3.		EXCLUSIONS

3.1		The Tax Covenant does not apply in respect of any Tax Liability (and the Sellers shall not have any liability under the Tax Warranties in respect of any Tax Liability) to the extent that:

	3.1.1		payment or discharge of such Tax Liability has been made prior to Completion or such payment or discharge was shown in the Accounts;

	3.1.2		the Tax Liability arises as a result of a change on or after the date of this Agreement in the accounting reference date of the Company or in any accounting policy or any Tax reporting practice of the Company, other than a change which is necessary in order to comply with Applicable Law, tax practices or generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the Company at the Accounts Date;

	3.1.3		the Tax Liability arises as a result of any default or delay by the Buyers or any Affiliate of either Buyer after the date of this Agreement, including (without limitation) a delay in paying or satisfying any Tax Liability or a delay or default in submitting any returns, computations or other documents required to be submitted or in submitting such returns, computations or documents outside the appropriate time limits or in submitting such returns, computations or documents otherwise than on a proper basis, in each case the date of this Agreement;

	3.1.5		recovery in respect of such Tax Liability is made under the Warranties or otherwise under the Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, under this Schedule);

4.		BUYER’S COVENANT

		The Buyers covenant to pay to the Sellers, no later than 3 (three) Business Days before the last date on which the relevant Sellers would be required to pay the relevant amount to a Tax Authority without incurring a liability to interest, penalties or a fine, an amount equal to any Tax assessed on the Sellers (or any of them) as a result of the Company failing to pay any amount of or in respect of Tax after Completion.

		The Seller’s obligations and rights

5.1		The Sellers shall (at the cost of the Company) have the sole conduct of the Company’s tax affairs as regards all accounting periods ended on or before Completion and, in relation to any accounting periods beginning before Completion but ending after Completion, as regards that part of any such period which falls on or before Completion (the “Relevant Accounting Periods”) as more particularly described in this paragraph 5.1 (the “Pre-Completion Tax Affairs”) and in particular (but without limitation to the generality of the foregoing), in a manner consistent, to the extent not unlawful, with past practice and in accordance with Applicable Laws, the Sellers shall:

5.2

The Sellers shall ensure that the Pre-Completion Tax Affairs are dealt with as promptly as reasonably practical and shall ensure that:

	5.2.1		the Buyers are kept informed in reasonable detail of the progress of all matters relating to the Pre-Completion Tax Affairs;

	5.2.2		the Buyers receive copies of all material written correspondence sent after Completion in relation to the Pre-Completion Tax Affairs;

	5.2.3		no tax document is submitted to a Tax Authority which is, so far as the Sellers are aware, misleading, untrue or inaccurate; and

		The Buyers’ obligations

	5.4.1		there is given to the Sellers’ professional advisers authority to conduct the Pre-Completion Tax Affairs and such authority is confirmed to any relevant Tax Authority;

	5.4.2		the Sellers and their advisers are promptly sent a copy of any communication from a Tax Authority relating to the Pre-Completion Tax Affairs;

	5.4.3		the Sellers (and their advisers) shall be provided with such information and assistance (including assistance from employees of the Buyers or the

			Company) and permitted to take copies of and granted access to such accounts, books, documents and records of or relating to the Company as they may reasonably require in connection with the matters referred to at paragraph (a) above;

	5.4.4		the Company shall not (unless so directed by the Sellers):

	(a)		amend, withdraw or disclaim any election or claim previously made; nor

	(b)		disclaim any allowance or Relief; and

5.4.5

the Company:

	(a)		makes such claims (including, but not limited to, claiming or disclaiming capital allowances, depreciation allowances and claiming roll-over reliefs);

	(b)		executes such documents (including but not limited to returns of profits and losses and amended returns); and

	(c)		does such other things in relation to the Relevant Accounting Periods,

in each case, as reasonably directed in writing by the Sellers and in a manner consistent, to the extent not unlawful, with past practice and in accordance with Applicable Laws.

5.5		To the extent that the provisions of this paragraph 5 conflict with the provisions of Clause 14 of the Agreement, the provisions of that Clause shall prevail.

6.		DUE DATE FOR PAYMENT

6.1		The Sellers are to pay any amount required to be paid under the Tax Covenant:

6.1.1

for any payment due pursuant to paragraph 2.1, on the later of the date:

	(a)		5 (five) Business Days before the date on which the Company will finally be liable to pay the Tax in respect of the relevant Tax Liability;

		accounting period of the Company shall be deemed to have ended on the Relevant Date in question and the existence of a Tax Liability for the purposes of paragraphs 2 or 3 of this Schedule shall not be determined on the basis of a time apportionment of any Income, Profits or Gains arising in the period in which the Relevant Date in question occurs as between that part of such period which falls on or before and that part which falls after the Relevant Date in question.

8.		COOPERATION IN RESPECT OF TAX AUDITS

		Subject always to Clause 14 (the provisions of which shall prevail to the extent inconsistent with the provisions of this paragraph 8), the Buyers and the Sellers shall cooperate to the extent reasonably requested by the other party in connection with the filing of Tax Returns in connection with any audit, litigation or other proceeding relating to Taxes to which the Buyers or the Sellers (or any of them) are a party. Such cooperation shall, for the avoidance of doubt, include the retention and (upon the other party’s reasonable request) the provision of access to copies of Tax records and other documentary information which is reasonably necessary for the purposes of the audit, litigation or other proceeding and the making available of employees or agents on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information reasonably required in the context of such audit, litigation or proceeding in relation to any materials provided under this paragraph 8.

Dear Sirs

Re: Material Adverse Effect Certificate

We refer to the Sale and Purchase Agreement dated 7 June 2007 between the Buyers and the Sellers. Capitalised terms used herein and not defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Sale and Purchase Agreement. References to Clauses and Schedules are to clauses and schedules of the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

This is the material adverse effect certificate referred to in Clause 6.6.3 (f).

The Sellers hereby confirm to the Buyers that, as far as the Sellers are aware, had the Warranties which are not repeated as of the Completion Date in accordance with Clause 10.2 (the “Non-Repeating Warranties”), been repeated as of the Completion Date, any failure of the Non-Repeating Warranties to be true and correct as of the Completion Date (without giving any limitation as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect”) would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

Yours faithfully,
