to Seller’s knowledge, Turkcell Holding has, since the date of Sonera’s investment in Turkcell Holding:

 

  (i)

only ever been operated as a holding company with an interest in Turkcell Shares and conducted activities related to, or reasonably incidental to, the maintenance of its corporate existence; and

 

  (ii)

never (A) traded or operated a business, (B) had any material assets (other than cash, receivables from its shareholders in respect of advance dividends and the Turkcell Shares) or (C) had any material liabilities which remain outstanding (other than liabilities to its shareholders for the payment of dividends);

 

12


  (g)

to Seller’s knowledge, Turkcell Holding has not, since the Locked Box Accounts Date, taken any action which would constitute a breach of Clauses 5.1 or 5.2 had such provisions been effective in respect of Turkcell Holding during such time; and

 

  (h)

to Seller’s knowledge, (i) Turkcell Holding is, and has been for the period of three (3) years prior to the date of this Agreement, in compliance with all Applicable Laws (excluding any Applicable Laws solely to the extent that such Applicable Laws relate to Tax) in all material respects; and (ii) no investigation or review by any Governmental Entity is pending or has been threatened (in writing) against Turkcell Holding, nor has any Governmental Entity indicated an intention to conduct an investigation or review of Turkcell Holding.

 

8.3

From the date of this Agreement until Completion, Seller agrees to notify Purchaser in writing of any facts, events, or circumstances of which any person named in Clause 1.3(b)(i) is notified in writing after the date of this Agreement that would constitute a breach of any Warranty set out in Clause 8.2 by reference to the facts, events and circumstances then existing were the Warranties given by it in Clause 8.2 to be repeated on each day between the date of this Agreement and Completion, provided that in no circumstances such notification shall be taken into account in determining whether Seller has breached any Warranty given on signing.

 

8.4

Seller’s Undertaking to Indemnify

 

  (a)

Subject in all respects to the limitations on liability as set out in Clause 9, Seller agrees and undertakes with Purchaser, in the case of any breach by Seller of a Warranty, to pay in cash to Purchaser, a sum equal to the amount necessary to put Purchaser or Turkcell Holding, as applicable, into the position which would have existed had the Warranty been true and correct as at the date of this Agreement, together with (i) all documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including legal fees, experts’ fees and consultants’ fees) reasonably and properly incurred by Purchaser and/or Turkcell Holding directly arising out of or resulting from the Warranty not being true and correct as at the date of this Agreement; and (ii) such sum as is necessary to ensure that after the deduction of any Tax due on any amount payable under this Clause 8.4(a) (whether by way of direct assessment or withholding at its source) and after taking into account any Relief available to Purchaser or Turkcell Holding in respect of the matter in respect of which the payment is made, Purchaser or Turkcell Holding, as applicable, is left with the same amount it would have had if the payment was not subject to Tax.

 

  (b)

Purchaser’s sole remedy in respect of any Claim for breach of a Warranty is a claim under the indemnity in this Clause 8.4.

 

8.5

Seller’s waiver of rights against Turkcell Holding

With effect from Completion and save for fraud, Seller undertakes to Purchaser (and for the benefit of Turkcell Holding) to waive any rights, remedies or claims which it may have against Turkcell Holding (i) in respect of any Claim made by Purchaser against Seller the origin or cause of which was Turkcell Holding; or (ii) in relation to the facts underlying any Claim.

 

13


9.

LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY

 

9.1

Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any liability under this Agreement:

 

  (a)

in respect of any Claim unless written notice of such Claim is given by the claimant party (the “Claimant Party”) to the respondent party (the “Respondent Party”) setting out reasonably specific details of the matter in respect of which such Claim is made including, where reasonably practicable, an estimate as to the amount of such Claim:

 

  (i)

for any Claim for breach of a Fundamental Warranty, on or before the date of expiry of the relevant statute of limitations in England; or

 

  (ii)

for all other Claims, including for breach of a General Warranty, on or before the date falling six (6) months after the Completion Date,

provided that any Claim shall (if it has not been previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn) be deemed to have been withdrawn six (6) months after written notice of such Claim is given pursuant to this Clause 9.1(a) except where any Claim relates to a contingent liability in which case it shall be deemed to have been withdrawn six (6) months after its becomes an actual liability unless, in each case, legal proceedings in respect of it have commenced by being both issued and served. No new Claim may be made in respect of the facts, matters, events or circumstances giving rise to any such withdrawn Claim;

 

  (b)

in respect of any and all Claims against Seller and subject to clause 13.4 of the Framework Agreement, to the extent that the aggregate amount of the liability of Seller for any and all such Claims, together with any and all claims under the other Transaction Agreements other than the Global Settlement Deed, would exceed the Purchase Price (“Seller Liability Cap”);

 

  (c)

in respect of any and all Claims against Purchaser and subject to clause 13.2.8 of the Framework Agreement, to the extent that the aggregate amount of the liability of Purchaser for any and all such Claims would exceed an amount equivalent to the Seller Liability Cap;

 

  (d)

subject to Clause 9.1(b), unless (i) the amount of Seller’s liability of any Claim for breach of a General Warranty (or any number or series of related Claims for breach of a General Warranty arising from substantially the same facts or circumstances) exceeds US$1,090,860; and (ii) the aggregate amount of Seller’s liability for all such Claims for breach of a General Warranty (or any number or series of related Claims for breach of a General Warranty arising from substantially the same facts or circumstances) is equal to, or greater than, US$10,908,600, in which case Seller shall be liable for the aggregate amount of its liability for all such Claims and not just the excess;

 

  (e)

in respect of any Claim to the extent that such Claim would not have arisen but for the adoption of any new, or a change in any Applicable Law or a change in the interpretation or implementation thereof by any Governmental Entity, or any amendment to or the withdrawal of any practice previously published by or any extra-statutory concession previously made by a Governmental Entity (whether or not the change purports to be effective retrospectively in whole or in part), in each case that was neither announced nor in force as at the date of this Agreement;

 

14


  (f)

in respect of any Claim for which a specific provision is made in the Locked Box Accounts, unless the Relevant Payment incurred in respect of such fact, matter or claim would exceed the amount of the applicable allowance, provision or reserve, in which case the Respondent Party shall only be liable for such excess;

 

  (g)

in respect of any Claim that would not have arisen but for (1) any action taken and/or any transaction undertaken, in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Transaction Agreements (including the TH/TVF BTIH Merger) or (2) after Completion, a change in the tax structure or corporate structure of Turkcell Holding (or its successors);

 

  (h)

in respect of any Claim that arises as a result of any change after the date of this Agreement in the bases, methods or policies of accounting of Turkcell Holding (or its successors) other than a change which is reported by the auditors of such company to be necessary in their opinion because such bases, methods or policies of accounting as at the date of this Agreement are not in accordance with any published accounting practice or principle then current;

 

  (i)

in respect of any Claim the circumstances of which Purchaser is aware at the date of this Agreement provided that, for the purposes of this paragraph, the knowledge of Purchaser shall be expressly limited to only (i) the contents of the Transaction Agreements; (ii) the general disclosures and any other matters fairly disclosed (in sufficient detail to enable Purchaser to assess the nature and scope of the matter disclosed) in any Disclosure Letter (including the Document Bundle an index of which is annexed to the Telia Disclosure Letter or any document bundle annexed to any other Disclosure Letter); (iii) the matters fairly disclosed (in sufficient detail to enable Purchaser to assess the nature and scope of the matter disclosed) in the Received Information; and (iv) any other facts, matters and circumstances of which any of the employees of Purchaser and TWF, as of the date of this Agreement, are actually aware; or

 

  (j)

in respect of any punitive, special, indirect or consequential losses including loss of production, loss of profit, loss of contract or loss of goodwill.

 

9.2

In respect of:

 

  (a)

any Claim for breach of a TI Share Title Warranty or of a General Warranty, Seller’s liability pursuant to Clause 8.4 shall be limited to Seller’s TH Share of such liability (without double-counting such limitation); and

 

  (b)

any other Claim which results from a loss suffered by Purchaser as a result of a loss at Turkcell Holding, Seller’s liability for any such loss suffered, incurred or otherwise claimed hereunder shall be limited to Seller’s TH Share of such loss,

subject always to the Seller’s Liability Cap and the other liability limitations as set out in this Clause 9.

 

9.3

If:

 

  (a)

the Respondent Party makes a payment (excluding any interest on a late payment) to the Claimant Party (which has been received) in respect of a Claim (a “Relevant Payment”);

 

15


  (b)

the Claimant Party receives any sum which would not have been received but for the circumstance which gave rise to that Claim provided that, where such sum is paid to Turkcell Holding (or Purchaser as its successor), that sum, for the purposes of this provision, shall be deemed to be Seller’s TH Share of such sum (a “Third Party Sum”);

 

  (c)

the receipt of the Third Party Sum was not taken into account in calculating the Relevant Payment; and

 

  (d)

the aggregate of the Third Party Sum and the Relevant Payment exceeds the amount required to compensate the Claimant Party in full for the loss or liability which gave rise to the Claim in question, such excess being the “Excess Recovery”,

then the Claimant Party shall repay to the Respondent Party promptly, on receipt of such Third Party Sum, an amount equal to the lower of (i) the Excess Recovery; and (ii) the Relevant Payment, after deducting (in either case) all costs and expenses incurred by the Claimant Party in recovering the Third Party Sum and any Tax attributable to or suffered in respect of such receipt.

 

9.4

Purchaser shall be entitled to bring Claims under one or more applicable Warranties in respect of the same matter, fact or circumstance, but shall not be entitled to double recovery by reason of such matter, fact, or circumstance constituting a breach of more than one Warranty. More generally, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity more than once in respect of any one liability, loss, cost, shortfall, damage or deficiency, regardless of whether more than one Claim or Leakage Claim arises in respect of it.

 

9.5

Each of Seller and Purchaser, respectively, shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, reasonable steps to mitigate any liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, associated with a Claim upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including, in relation to any costs incurred to minimise the relevant losses in relation to the Claim, incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary provided that, in all cases and from time to time, no Party shall be required to take any action (or refrain from taking any action) in mitigation to the extent that such action (or inaction as the case may be) may preclude such Party from initiating or conducting any Claim (or potential Claim) pursuant to this Agreement or any claim (or potential claim) against any party pursuant to any other Transaction Agreement.

 

9.6

Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly provided in any Warranty, Seller does not give or make any warranty, covenant or representation as to (i) any aspect of Turkcell (other than to the extent of any of the TI Share Title Warranties); or (ii) the accuracy of the forecasts, estimates, projections or statements of intent provided to Purchaser or TWF prior to the date of this Agreement.

 

9.7

If any Claim is based upon a liability which is contingent only, the Respondent Party shall not be liable to make any payment unless and until such contingent liability gives rise to an actual liability (but the Claimant Party has the right under Clause 9.1 to give written notice of that Claim before such time).

 

9.8

Seller shall not be liable for any Claim to the extent that it would not have arisen but for, or has been increased (solely to the extent of such increase) as a result of, any voluntary act, omission or transaction carried out:

 

16


  (a)

after Completion by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (or their respective Representatives) outside the ordinary and usual course of business; or

 

  (b)

before Completion by Seller or Turkcell Holding at the written direction or request of Purchaser or any of its Controlled Affiliates (as of the date of this Agreement).

 

9.9

In connection with a Claim for breach of a General Warranty where Seller would not be deemed to be aware of the facts, matters or circumstances giving rise to the Claim but for Clause 1.3(b)(iii) (and without prejudice to any Claim where Seller is deemed to have such knowledge pursuant to Clause 1.3(b)(i) or (b)(ii) in which case Clause 9.9(a) shall not apply):

 

  (a)

Seller shall not be liable for such Claim unless:

 

  (i)

a claim against ATT for breach of an equivalent warranty pursuant to clause 8.3 of the Total CTH TH Interest SPA (or L1 pursuant to clause 13.1 of the Framework Agreement) relating to those facts, matters or circumstances (an “Equivalent ATT Claim”) (1) has been accepted by or settled with ATT (or L1 as the case may be); or (2) has resulted in an arbitral award for the payment of monies made in favour of Purchaser (the amount which ATT (or L1 as the case may be) is required to pay pursuant to (1) or (2) in respect of any such claim being an “ATT Claim Amount”); and

 

  (ii)

the ATT Claim Amount has been satisfied by (individually or in combination) (1) ATT (or L1 or IMTIS Holdings or any Affiliate as the case may be) in cash, in Turkcell shares, for other valuable consideration or any combination thereof; and/or (2) via enforcement proceedings undertaken by or on behalf of Purchaser;

 

  (b)

the Parties consent and agree that where Purchaser brings an Equivalent ATT Claim, both the relevant Claim and the Equivalent ATT Claim shall, to the extent either has not otherwise previously been accepted or settled, be consolidated in arbitration and, in particular, the relevant Claim shall not be withdrawn, nor shall it be capable of dismissal, discharge or determination unless and until the Equivalent ATT Claim has been finally dismissed, discharged or determined; and

 

  (c)

for the avoidance of doubt, Seller agrees that ATT and its Affiliates shall not have any liability (expect in case of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation) to Seller in connection with any such successful Claim by Purchaser.

 

9.10

The Warranties are subject to the Telia Disclosure Letter.

 

9.11

The limitations of liability contained in this Clause 9 or otherwise in this Agreement shall not apply to any liability for any Claim to the extent that the same is attributable to fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation on the part of Seller or Purchaser as the case may be.

 

10.

TERMINATION

 

10.1

This Agreement shall automatically terminate on the termination of the Framework Agreement in accordance with its terms.

 

17


10.2

On written notice to the other Party, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement if the Condition in Clause 6.1(ii) has not been satisfied (or waived) immediately prior to Completion.

 

10.3

Notwithstanding Clause 10.1 and Clause 10.2, this Clause 10 (Termination) and Clauses 1 (Interpretation), 9 (Limitations on Liability), 11 (Third Party Rights), 13 (Costs and Expenses), 15 (Miscellanea), 16 (Governing Law) and 17 (Arbitration) shall survive any termination hereof.

 

10.4

Any termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any liability of any Party for prior breaches hereof.

 

11.

THIRD PARTY RIGHTS

 

11.1

The Parties do not intend that any term of this Agreement should be enforceable, by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, by any person who is not a party to this Agreement, except that Turkcell Holding may enforce and rely upon Clause 4.7 and Clause 8.5 to the same extent as if it were a party and ATT may enforce and rely upon Clause 9.9(c) to the same extent as if it were a party.

 

11.2

This Agreement may be terminated and any term may be amended or waived without the consent of either or both of Turkcell Holding or ATT.

 

12.

PAYMENTS

 

12.1

Any payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in full, without any set off, counterclaim and without any deduction or withholding (save as expressly set out in this Agreement with respect to Leakage). If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Party is required by Applicable Law to make a deduction or withholding in respect of any sum payable under or in connection with this Agreement, such Party shall, at the same time as the sum which is the subject of the deduction or withholding is payable, pay to the relevant Party such additional amount as shall be required to ensure that the net amount received by that Party will equal the full amount which would have been received by that Party had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made.

 

12.2

Any payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be effected by crediting for same day value the account specified in writing by the relevant payee(s) (reasonably in advance and in sufficient detail to enable payment by telegraphic or other electronic means to be effected) on or before the due date for payment.

 

12.3

If any payment is made to Purchaser by Seller in connection with this Agreement, the payment shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price paid by Purchaser to Seller under this Agreement and, in such circumstances, the Purchase Price shall be deemed to have been reduced by the amount of such payment.

 

12.4

Payment of a sum in accordance with this Clause 12 shall constitute a payment in full of the sum payable and shall be a good discharge to the payor (and those on whose behalf such payment is made) of the payor’s obligation to make such payment and the payor (and those on whose behalf such payment is made) shall not be obliged to see to the application of the payment as between those on whose behalf the payment is received.

 

18


13.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

Each Party shall pay its own costs and expenses in relation to the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and all other documents mentioned herein.

 

14.

GENERAL

 

14.1

Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that the Parties may have, the Parties acknowledge and agree that damages alone would not be an adequate remedy for any breach by them of Clauses 2, 3 or 7 and that the remedies of injunction and specific performance as well as any other equitable relief for any threatened or actual breach of Clauses 2, 3 or 7 by any Party would be more appropriate remedies.

 

14.2

The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and do not exclude any rights and remedies provided by Applicable Law, provided that (save for termination pursuant to Clause 10) no Party shall be entitled to rescind or terminate this Agreement, whether before or after Completion. Nothing in this Clause 14 shall operate to limit or exclude any liability for fraud.

 

15.

MISCELLANEA

The provisions of clauses 15 (Confidentiality), 16 (Announcements), 17 (Successors), 18 (Assignment), 19 (Notices), 21 (Variation and Waiver), 22 (Counterparts), 23 (Whole Agreement) and 24 (Invalidity) of the Global Settlement Deed are incorporated into this Agreement mutatis mutandis with references to “this Deed” therein to being deemed to be a reference to this Agreement.

 

16.

GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter shall be governed by, and construed and take effect in accordance with, English law.

 

17.

ARBITRATION

All disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be finally settled in accordance with clause 2 (Arbitration) of the Arbitration Deed.

IN WITNESS whereof this Agreement has been executed as a deed and delivered on the date first above written.
