(a)if the relevant Withheld Amount was withheld from the Integration Consideration, may withhold such Disputed Amount from the Integration Consideration and shall pay any excess of the Withheld Amount over the Disputed Amount so determined by the Independent Counsel to the Seller simultaneously with, and as part of, the Integration Consideration, or, if the Integration Consideration (less the Withheld Amount) has been paid prior to such determination by the Independent Counsel, within [***] of the determination; or

provided that if the Independent Counsel provides a range of values, the simple average of all values shall be used for the purposes of the calculation. The Independent Counsel shall be instructed to assess the values in a way that the top end of the range shall not be greater than the mid-point of the range by more than [***].

6.3.6if the Independent Counsel determines that the Withheld Amount is a reasonable estimate of the amount of the Claim and that the Claim has a reasonable prospect of success, then the costs of the Independent Counsel shall be borne by the Seller; if the Independent Counsel determines that the Withheld Amount is not a reasonable estimate of the amount of the Claim and that the Claim does not have a reasonable prospect of success, then the costs of the Independent Counsel shall be borne by the Buyer; in all other cases, the costs of the Independent Counsel shall be borne equally by the Buyer and the Seller;
6.3.7if, after the date on which the Integration Consideration is to be paid by the Buyer to the Seller hereunder or after a Release Date, a Notified Claim by the Buyer with respect to all or a portion of a Withheld Amount or Disputed Amount, as applicable,

is Determined in favour of the Seller, then, within [***] thereafter, the Buyer shall cause such part of the Withheld Amount or Disputed Amount, as applicable, as is being withheld in relation to such Notified Claim to be paid in accordance with Clause 1.2.9, to the Seller (which the Seller and the Buyer acknowledge shall be treated as a payment of a portion of the Purchase Price); and
6.3.8if, [***], a Notified Claim by the Buyer with respect to all or a portion of a Withheld Amount or Disputed Amount, as applicable, is Determined in favour of the Buyer, then the Buyer shall keep such part of the Withheld Amount or Disputed Amount, as applicable.

6.5For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the time periods set out above in this Clause 6, (a) in the event that the amount of Integration Consideration payable to the Seller is less than the amount of Claims Determined in favour of the Buyer (including in the event that no Integration Consideration is payable), the Buyer shall be entitled to [***].

12.LIMITATION OF THE BUYER’S LIABILITY
12.1Time Limitation for Seller Claims
12.1.1If the Seller becomes aware of any potential Seller Claim, the Seller shall as soon as reasonably practicable give a notice of the Seller Claim in writing to the Buyer specifying in reasonable detail the legal and factual basis of the Seller Claim and setting out (to the extent possible) the Seller’s reasonable estimate of the amount of losses, costs and liabilities which is, or is to be, the subject of the Seller Claim (including any losses which are contingent on the occurrence of any future event). Subject to Clause 12.1.2, failure to give any notice under this Clause will in no way prejudice the Seller’s ability to bring such Seller Claim except that the Buyer shall

36


not be liable for such Seller Claim to the extent that its liability under such Seller Claim has arisen or increased as a result of such failure.
12.1.2The Buyer shall not be liable for any claim by the Seller unless a notice of such claim is given by the Seller to the Buyer specifying the matters set out in Clause 12.1.1:
(a)in respect of any Seller Claim for breach of any Buyer Warranty set out in Schedule 8 (Buyer Warranties), [***] following the Completion Date;
(b)in respect of any other Seller Claim (except for any Seller Claim in relation to payment of all or a portion of the Purchase Price, including all or a portion of the Deferred Consideration), [***] following the Completion Date; and
(c)in respect of any Seller Claim [***] following the date on which the relevant portion of the Purchase Price is due in accordance with this Agreement.
12.1.3The Buyer shall not be liable for any Seller Claim (that has not been previously satisfied or settled between the Buyer and the Seller or withdrawn by the Seller) unless the Seller issues and serves legal proceedings on the Buyer in respect of such Seller Claim within [***] of the date on which the Seller notified the Buyer of the Seller Claim in accordance with Clause 12.1.1.  In respect of a Seller Claim referred to in Clause 12.4, such legal action need not be brought until [***] after the first of the loss becoming ascertainable or ceasing to be contingent.
12.2Maximum Liability

The aggregate liability of the Buyer in respect of all Seller Claims shall not exceed the aggregate amount of [***] (subject to all adjustments thereto under this Agreement and not including any interest (default or otherwise), penalties, costs or expenses incurred by the Seller in recovering any amount of the Purchase Price).

12.3Fraud

None of the limitations contained in this Clause 12 shall apply to the extent a liability arises or is increased as a result of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by the Buyer.

12.4Contingent or Non-quantifiable Claims

The Buyer shall not be liable in respect of any Seller Claim to the extent that such Seller Claim is based upon a liability which is contingent only or is otherwise not capable of being quantified unless and until such liability ceases to be contingent and becomes an actual liability or becomes capable of being quantified, as the case may be, and is due and payable; provided that this Clause 12.4 shall not operate to avoid a claim made by the Seller in respect of a contingent or unquantifiable liability of which notice is given by the Buyer under Clause 12.1.1 within the applicable time limits specified in Clause 12.1.2 if the notice of such Seller Claim has been given (together with such material details relating to that Seller Claim of which the Seller shall be aware when giving it) before the expiry of the relevant period (even if such liability does not become an actual or quantifiable liability, as the case may be, until after the expiry of such period).

12.5Indirect Losses

12.6.2The Seller confirms that, as of the date of this Agreement, it is not aware of any matter that constitutes a breach of this Agreement or which entitles it to make a Seller Claim under a Buyer Warranty.
12.7Conduct of Third Party Claims
12.7.1If the CEO or chief legal officer of the Seller becomes aware of a written Third Party Claim which might be reasonably expected to result in a Seller Claim under a Buyer Warranty being made, the Seller shall:

12.7.2If the Seller would be entitled to make a Seller Claim under a Buyer Warranty as a result of, or in connection with, a Third Party Claim, then the Seller shall not, and shall procure that no other member of the Seller’s Group shall, admit liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, and shall procure that such Third Party Claim shall not be compromised, disposed of or settled without:

18.GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
18.1This Agreement and any Dispute shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England.
18.2Any Dispute shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the Arbitration Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (“LCIA”) then in force (the “Rules”), which are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Clause 18 (Governing Law and Dispute resolution), and capitalised terms used in this Clause 18 (Governing Law and Dispute resolution) which are not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meaning given to them in the Rules.
18.3There shall be three (3) arbitrators, one of which shall be nominated by the claimant(s) and one of which shall be nominated by the respondent(s) in accordance with the Rules and the third, who shall be the Chairman of the tribunal, shall be nominated by the two party nominated arbitrators within [***] of the last of their appointments.  In the event of any failure to nominate an arbitrator within the designated time period, the LCIA shall, at the written request of any

46


party, make the remaining appointments forthwith. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Rules, the parties and arbitrators may nominate and the LCIA may appoint arbitrators (including the Chairman of the tribunal) from among the nationals of any country, whether or not a party is a national of that country.
18.4The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be London, England, at a location to be determined by the tribunal.  The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English.  Where testimony or a document is provided in a language other than English, a translation of such testimony or document shall be provided in the English language, and shall be certified as a true, complete and accurate translation by a recognised translator.
18.5Any such award shall be final and binding on the Parties and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction and any right of appeal under the Arbitration Act 1996 or otherwise or reference of points of law to the courts is hereby waived, to the extent that such waiver can be validly made.
18.6Each Party retains the right to seek interim, provisional or conservatory measures and to confirm and enforce any arbitral award, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with the agreement or a waiver of the right to arbitrate.  The courts of England, Cyprus, the Netherlands or the Russian Federation shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction in respect of any such interim, provisional or conservatory measure.  A Party may seek confirmation or enforcement of an arbitral award in any court having jurisdiction.
18.7Each Party hereby consents generally in respect of any arbitration proceedings arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or a Dispute hereunder to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with such proceedings including the making, enforcement or execution against any property (irrespective of its use or intended use) of any order or judgment which may be made or given in such proceedings.
18.8Each Party agrees that the arbitration agreement set out in this Clause 18 (Governing Law and Dispute resolution) and the arbitration agreement contained in each other Transaction Document (other than the Local Services Agreements and all documents entered into pursuant to the Local Services Agreements) shall together be deemed to be a single arbitration agreement.
18.9Each Party consents to being joined to any arbitration commenced under any Transaction Document on the application of any other Party if the arbitral tribunal so allows, and subject to and in accordance with the Rules. Before the constitution of the arbitral tribunal, any party to an arbitration commenced pursuant to this Clause 18 (Governing Law and Dispute resolution) may effect joinder by serving notice on any party to any Transaction Document whom it seeks to join to the arbitration proceedings, provided that such notice is also sent to all other parties to the Dispute and the LCIA Court within [***] of service of the Request for Arbitration. The joined party will become a claimant or respondent party (as appropriate) to the arbitration proceedings and participate in the arbitrator appointment process set out in Clause 18.3.
18.10An arbitral tribunal constituted under this Agreement may consolidate an arbitration hereunder with an arbitration under any other Transaction Document if the arbitration proceedings raise common questions of law or fact, and subject to and in accordance with the Rules. For the avoidance of doubt, this Clause 18.10 is an agreement in writing by all parties to any arbitrations to be consolidated for the purposes of Article 22.1(ix) of the Rules. If an arbitral tribunal has been constituted in more than one of the arbitrations in respect of which consolidation is sought pursuant to this Clause 18.10, the arbitral tribunal which shall have the power to order consolidation shall be the arbitral tribunal appointed in the arbitration with the earlier Commencement Date under Article 1.4 of the Rules (i.e., the first-filed arbitration). Notice of the consolidation order must be given to any arbitrators already appointed in relation to any of

47


the arbitration(s) which are to be consolidated under the consolidation order, all parties to those arbitration(s) and the LCIA Registrar. Any appointment of an arbitrator in the other arbitrations before the date of the consolidation order will terminate immediately and the arbitrator will be deemed to be discharged. This termination is without prejudice to the validity of any act done or order made by that arbitrator or by any court in support of that arbitration before that arbitrator’s appointment is terminated; his or her entitlement to be paid proper fees and disbursements; and the date when any claim or defence was raised for the purpose of applying any limitation bar or any similar rule or provision. If this clause operates to exclude a Party’s right to choose its own arbitrator, each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right to do so.
18.11To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Party waives any objection, on the basis that a Dispute has been resolved in a manner contemplated by Clauses 18.9 to 18.10, to the validity and/or enforcement of any arbitral award.
18.12Each Party agrees that any arbitration under this Clause 18 (Governing Law and Dispute resolution) shall be confidential to the Parties and the arbitrators, and that each Party shall therefore keep confidential, without limitation, the fact that the arbitration has taken place or is taking place, all non-public documents produced by any other Party for the purposes of the arbitration, all awards in the arbitration and all other non-public information provided to it in relation to the arbitral proceedings, including hearings, save to the extent that disclosure may be requested by a regulatory authority, or required of it by legal duty, to protect or pursue a legal right or to enforce or challenge an award in bona fide legal proceedings before a state court or other judicial authority.
18.13The law of this arbitration agreement, including its validity and scope, shall be English law.
18.14This arbitration agreement shall be binding upon any person who acquires rights under this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise.  Any such person who intends to commence legal proceedings in relation to a Dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall, as a precondition of commencing such proceedings, give prior written notice to all the Parties to this Agreement that it agrees to be bound by this Clause 18 (Governing Law and Dispute resolution).
19.MISCELLANEOUS
19.1Entire agreement
19.1.1This Agreement and other Transaction Documents constitute the whole Agreement between the Parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement to the exclusion of any terms implied by law (to the extent that the same may be excluded by contract) and supersede any previous discussion, arrangement, understanding or agreement between the Parties (whether written or oral) in relation to such subject matter.  In particular (but without limitation), this Agreement and such documents supersede the Original Agreement.
19.1.2Each Party acknowledges that, in entering into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, it is not relying on any statement, representation, assurance or warranty of any person (whether a Party to this Agreement or not) (a “Statement”) other than any Statement (an “Agreed Statement”) as expressly set out in this Agreement or such other Transaction Documents.
19.1.3Each Party agrees and undertakes to the other Party that:
(a)it shall have no rights, claims or remedies (and hereby irrevocably waives any such rights, claims or remedies) in relation to any Statement (including

for any Statement made, repeated or deemed made, whether negligent or innocent) other than an Agreed Statement; and
(b)the only rights and remedies available to it arising out of or in connection with any Agreed Statement shall be solely for breach of contract, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (and each Party hereby irrevocably waives any other rights and remedies in relation to any Agreed Statement (including those in tort or arising under the Misrepresentation Act 1967 or any other statute)).

19.3.2A waiver of any right or remedy under this Agreement or by law shall only be effective if given in writing and signed by the person waiving such right or remedy.  Any such waiver shall apply only to the circumstances for which it is given and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.
19.3.3Failure by any Party to exercise, or any delay by any Party in exercising, any right or remedy granted to such Party under this Agreement or by law shall not constitute a waiver by that Party of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall such failure or delay prevent or restrict any further exercise by that Party of that or any other right or remedy.
19.3.4The single or partial exercise by any Party of any right or remedy granted to such Party under this Agreement or by law shall not prevent or restrict the further exercise by that Party of that or any other right or remedy.
19.3.5A Party which:
(a)waives a right or remedy granted to such Party, or releases any other Party from any liability, under this Agreement or by law; or

19.4Counterparts and Creation of Agreement

This Agreement shall be binding on and shall enure for the benefit of the successors in title of each Party.

19.6Third Party Rights
19.6.1Save as specified in Clause 19.6.2, a person who is not a Party to this Agreement shall not have any rights under or in connection with it by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.  This Clause 19.6.1 shall not operate to prevent any person to whom the benefit of any rights under or arising out of this Agreement have been validly assigned in accordance with Clause 19.7 from enforcing or enjoying the benefit of those rights.
19.6.2Subject to Clause 19.6.3, where any provision of this Agreement specifically states that any person who is not a Party to this Agreement shall have the right, by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, to enforce any rights under or in connection with a provision of this Agreement, the persons so specified in such provision shall be entitled, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, to enforce the rights specified to be granted to such persons under the relevant provision.
19.6.3The ability of the Parties to this Agreement to terminate, amend, vary or waive any of the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent otherwise permitted or provided for in this Agreement or by law, including any provision referred to in Clause 19.6.2, shall not require the consent of any of the persons specified in Clause 19.6.2 or any other person who is not a Party to this Agreement.
19.6.4The rights specified in Clause 19.6.2 shall not be assignable.
19.7Assignment, Etc.
19.7.1Save as specified in Clause 19.7.2, this Agreement is personal to the Parties and no Party shall, without the prior written consent of each other Party:
(a)assign, transfer, mortgage, charge, declare or establish a trust of or deal in any other manner with this Agreement or any of its rights (or any claims or causes of action arising out of them) and obligations under or arising out of this Agreement (or any document referred to in it), or purport to do any of the same; or
(b)sub-contract or delegate in any manner any or all of its obligations under this Agreement to any third Party or agent.

The Buyer shall procure that (i) any subsequent assignment of any benefit is undertaken by the assignee in compliance with this Clause 19.7.2 and (ii) prior to any assignee ceasing

50


to be a Buyer Group Company for any reason, such assignee shall assign all benefit enjoyed by it pursuant to this Clause 19.7.2 to another Buyer Group Company.  The liability of the Seller to an assignee shall be limited to the liability it would have had to the Buyer had the assignment not occurred.
19.8Remedies
19.8.1Safe as specified in Clause 19.8.3, the rights and remedies provided under this Agreement are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law.
19.8.2Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that any Party may have, each Party acknowledges and agrees that damages alone would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the terms of this Agreement by such Party. Accordingly, each Party agrees and undertakes that each other Party shall be entitled, without proof of special damages, to the remedies of injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief for any threatened or actual breach of the terms of this Agreement.
19.8.3
(a)Each Party agrees and undertakes to the other Party that the only rights and remedies available to it arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter or any other Transaction Document shall be solely for breach for contract.
(b)Neither Party shall be entitled to rescind or (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) terminate this Agreement, for breach of contract, for negligent or innocent misrepresentation or otherwise.
19.9Severance
19.9.1If any provision of this Agreement (or any part of any provision) is found by any court or other body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable to any extent, that provision or part-provision shall:
(a)be deemed to be modified to the minimum extent necessary so as to render such provision or part-provision valid, legal and enforceable (and, without prejudice to the preceding wording, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to amend such provision or part-provision so that, as amended, it is legal, valid and enforceable and, as far as possible, achieves the intended commercial result of the original provision); or
(b)if it is not possible to modify (and/or the Parties fail to agree an appropriate amendment to) such provision or part-provision as envisaged by Clause 19.9.1, to the relevant extent, be deemed not to form part of this Agreement.
19.9.2In the circumstances referred to in Clause 19.9, the legality, validity and enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement (including, in relation to any part-provision, the remaining parts of the relevant provision), and, where relevant, the legality, validity and enforceability of such provision or part-provision under the law of any other jurisdiction, shall not be affected or impaired.
