2.2Proceeds

The Issuer will apply the principal amount of the Notes for the sole purpose of financing the Loan subject to and on the terms of the Loan Agreement.

2.3Covenant to Repay

Subject always to the provisions hereof and to Clause 2.4 as and when the Notes or any of them become due to be redeemed or repaid in accordance with this Trust Deed, the Issuer shall (subject to the receipt of the relevant funds from the Borrower) procure to be paid in accordance with the provisions of the Conditions and the Agency Agreement to or to the order of the Trustee in U.S. Dollars in same day funds amounts corresponding to principal in respect of the Notes becoming due for redemption or repayment on that date equivalent to principal actually received (and not required to be repaid) under the Loan Agreement and shall (subject to the provisions hereof and to Clause 2.4 as aforesaid), until all such payments (as well after as before any judgment or other order of any court of competent jurisdiction) are duly made, procure to be paid in accordance with the provisions of the Conditions and the Agency Agreement to or to the order of the Trustee as aforesaid on the dates and in the manner provided for in the Conditions amounts corresponding to interest in respect of the Notes and/or Coupons equivalent to interest actually received (and not required to be repaid) under the Loan Agreement pro rata according to the principal amount of each Note or as soon as practicable after the date of the receipt of, and in the currency of, and subject to the conditions attaching to, the equivalent payment under the Loan Agreement, as provided in the Conditions, in each case less any amounts payable in respect of the Reserved Rights provided that:

2.3.1every payment of an amount corresponding to principal or interest in respect of the Notes and/or Coupons made to or to the order of the Trustee or the Principal Paying Agent in the manner provided in the Conditions, the Agency Agreement and in this Trust Deed shall unless the Trustee has given and not withdrawn a notice under Clause 2.5, be satisfaction pro tanto of the relevant covenant by the Issuer contained in this Clause 2.3; and

Unless the Trustee otherwise requires, all payments by the Issuer pursuant to this Clause 2.3 shall be made to the Lender Account.

The Trustee will hold the benefit of this covenant and the covenant in Clause 6 on trust for the benefit of itself and the Noteholders.

2.4Payment dependent on performance under the Loan

The obligations of the Issuer under Clause 2.3 are solely to make payments of amounts in aggregate equivalent to each sum actually received by or for the account of the Issuer from the Borrower in respect of principal, interest, Additional Amounts or other amounts (if any) pursuant to the Loan Agreement (less any amounts in respect of the Reserved Rights which are payable solely to the Issuer). The right to receive such amounts is, inter alia, being charged to the Trustee by virtue of the Charge and assigned to the Trustee by virtue of the Loan Administration Assignment, each as continuing security for the Issuer’s payment obligations under this Trust Deed and the Notes. Noteholders and Couponholders must therefore rely solely and exclusively upon the Borrower’s covenant to pay under the Loan Agreement and the credit and financial standing of the Borrower.

2.5Payment after a Potential Event of Default, an Event of Default or a Relevant Event

At any time after any Potential Event of Default, Event of Default or Relevant Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may:

2.5.1by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Paying Agents require each such Agent or any of them:
(i)to act thereafter as agents of the Trustee mutatis mutandis on the terms provided in the Agency Agreement (save that the Trustee’s liability under any provisions thereof for the indemnification, remuneration and payment of out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent shall be limited to the amounts for the time being held by the Trustee on the trusts of this Trust Deed and available to the Trustee for such purpose) and thereafter to hold all Notes and Coupons (if any) and all sums, documents and records held by them in respect of the Notes and Coupons on behalf of the Trustee; or
(ii)to deliver up all Notes and Coupons (if any) and all sums, documents and records held by them in respect of the Notes and Coupons to the Trustee or as the Trustee shall direct in such notice; provided that such notice shall be deemed not to apply to any documents or records which the relevant Agent is obliged not to release by any law or regulation; and
2.5.2by notice in writing to the Issuer require it to make all subsequent payments in respect of the Notes and Coupons to or to the order of the Trustee and not to the Principal Paying Agent and with effect from the receipt of any such notice to the Issuer and until such notice is withdrawn, proviso to Clause 2.3 insofar as it relates to the Principal Paying Agent will cease to have effect.
2.6Redemption
2.6.1Unless previously prepaid or repaid, the Borrower will be required to repay the Loan (together with any outstanding interest or additional amounts) on 23 September 2015 and, subject to such repayment, all the Notes then remaining outstanding will on that date be redeemed or repaid by the Issuer at their principal amount thereof.
2.6.2If the Loan should become prepayable or repayable (and be prepaid or repaid), otherwise than as provided in sub-Clause 2.6.1 above, pursuant to the Loan Agreement prior to 2015, all Notes then remaining outstanding shall thereupon become due and redeemable or repayable in accordance with the Conditions.
2.7Issuer's own funds

Nothing contained in this Trust Deed or the Conditions, or any of the other Transaction Documents, shall require the Issuer to extend, apply or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability) in the performance of its obligations or duties or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion under this Trust Deed or the Conditions, or any of the other Transaction Documents, until it has first received from the Borrower the funds that are necessary (in the opinion of the Issuer) to cover the costs and expenses in connection with such performance or exercise and/or (at its sole discretion) it shall have been indemnified and/or secured to its satisfaction against all liabilities, proceedings, claims and demands to which it may thereby become liable and all costs, charges and expenses which may be incurred by it in connection therewith. Noteholders must rely upon the Borrower’s covenant to pay in the Loan Agreement and the credit and financial standing of the Borrower in respect of payments of interest, principal and other amounts due to them pursuant to the Conditions.

2.8Payment on a non-Business Day

In any case where the due date for payment of any amount pursuant hereto in respect of any Note shall not be a Business Day, then the owner thereof shall not be entitled to payment of the amount due until the next following Business Day and will not be entitled to any interest accrued to such next following Business Day. If the due date for redemption of a Note is not an Interest Payment Date, an amount corresponding to the interest accrued from the preceding Interest Payment Date or, if none, from the date hereof, shall be payable only if an equivalent amount is received by the Issuer pursuant to the Loan.

2.9Further Issues
2.9.1The Issuer may from time to time (but subject always to the provisions of this Trust Deed and Condition 14) with the consent of the Borrower and without the consent of the Noteholders create and issue further notes having the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects (or in all respects except for the first payment of interest) so as to form a single series with the Notes. In relation to such further issue, the Issuer will enter into a loan agreement supplemental to the Loan Agreement with the Borrower on the same terms as the original Loan Agreement (or on the same terms except for the first payment of interest) subject to any modifications which, in the sole opinion of the Trustee, would not materially prejudice the interests of the Noteholders. The Issuer will provide a further fixed charge and absolute assignment by way of security in favour of the Trustee of its rights under such supplemental loan agreement equivalent to the rights charged and assigned as Security Interests in relation to the Issuer’s rights under the original Loan Agreement which will, together with the Security Interests referred to in the Conditions, secure both the Notes and such further notes.
2.9.2Any further notes created and issued pursuant to the provisions of sub-clause 2.9.1 shall be subject to a supplemental Trust Deed. In any such case the Issuer shall prior to the issue of any such further notes, execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental Trust Deed (if applicable, duly stamped or denoted) and containing a covenant by the Issuer in the form mutatis mutandis of Clause 2.3 of this Trust Deed in relation to the principal and interest in respect of such further notes and such other provisions (corresponding to any of the provisions contained in this Trust Deed) as the Trustee shall require.
2.9.3A memorandum of every such supplemental trust deed shall be endorsed by the Trustee on this Trust Deed and by the Issuer on the duplicate of this Trust Deed.
2.10Entitlement to Treat Holder as Absolute Owner

The Issuer, the Trustee and the Paying Agents may (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws) deem and treat the holder of any Note or of a particular principal amount of the Notes and the holder of any Coupon as the absolute owner of such Note, principal amount or Coupon, as the case may be, for all purposes (whether or not such Note, principal amount or Coupon shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership thereof or of trust or other interest with regard thereto, any notice of loss or theft thereof or any writing thereon), and the Issuer, the Trustee and the Paying Agents shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Issuer hereby covenants that in the event of the only trustee hereof which is a trust corporation giving notice under this Clause it shall use its best endeavours to procure a new trustee, being a trust corporation, to be appointed and if the Issuer has not procured the appointment of a new trustee within 30 days of the expiry of the Trustee notice referred to in this Clause 19.4, the Trustee shall be entitled to procure forthwith a new trustee.

19.5Competence of a majority of Trustees

Whenever there shall be more than two trustees hereof the majority of such trustees shall (provided such majority includes a trust corporation) be competent to execute and exercise all the trusts, powers, authorities and discretions vested by this Trust Deed in the Trustee generally.

19.6Powers additional

The powers conferred by this Trust Deed upon the Trustee shall be in addition to any powers which may from time to time be vested in it by general law or as the holder of any of the Notes.

19.8Issuer to Appoint New Trustee

Subject to the other sub-clauses in this Clause 19, the Issuer may appoint a new trustee if the United Kingdom ceases to be the jurisdiction in which the Trustee is resident and acting through for taxation purposes.

In each case where amounts of principal, interest and additional amounts (if any) are stated herein or in the Trust Deed to be payable in respect of the Notes, the obligation of the Issuer to make any such payment shall constitute an obligation only to account to the Noteholders on each date upon which such amounts of principal, interest and additional amounts (if any) are due in respect of the Notes, for an amount equivalent to sums of principal, interest and additional amounts (if any) actually received by or for the account of the Issuer pursuant to the Loan Agreement (less any amounts in respect of the Reserved Rights (as defined in Condition 3 (Security))). Noteholders must therefore rely solely and exclusively on the covenant to pay under the Loan Agreement and the credit and financial standing of the Bank. Noteholders shall have no recourse (direct or indirect) to any other assets of the Issuer. None of the Noteholders, the Trustee or the other creditors (nor any other person acting on behalf of any of them) shall be entitled at any time to institute against the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, administration, moratorium, reorganisation, controlled management, arrangement, insolvency, winding-up or liquidation proceedings or similar insolvency proceedings under any applicable bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligation of the Issuer relating to the Notes or otherwise owed to the creditors or the Trustee for so long as the Notes are outstanding, save for lodging a claim in the liquidation of the Issuer which is initiated by another party or taking proceedings to obtain a declaration or judgment as to the obligations of the Issuer.

In certain circumstances, the Trustee can (subject to it being indemnified and/or secured and/or pre-funded to its satisfaction) be required by Noteholders holding at least one-quarter of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding (as defined in the Trust Deed) or by an Extraordinary Resolution (as defined in the Trust Deed) of the Noteholders to exercise certain of its powers under the Trust Deed (including any rights arising under the Loan Administration Assignment (as defined in the Trust Deed)). It may not be possible for the Trustee to take certain actions in relation to the Notes and, accordingly, in such circumstances the Trustee will be unable to take action, notwithstanding the provisions of an indemnity to it, and it will be for the Noteholders to take action directly.

The statements in these terms and conditions (the “Conditions”) include summaries of, and are subject to, the detailed provisions of, and definitions in, the Trust Deed. Copies of the Trust Deed and an agency agreement (such agreement as modified and/or restated and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Agency Agreement”) dated 24 September 2010 between the Issuer, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as principal paying agent (the “Principal Paying Agent” and any other paying agents named therein or appointed thereunder and, together with the Principal Paying Agent, the “Paying Agents”, which expressions shall include any successors) and the Trustee are available for inspection during normal business hours by Noteholders and Couponholders (as defined below) at the specified office for the time being of the Trustee, being at the date hereof at Winchester House, 1 Great Winchester Street, London EC2N 2DB, United Kingdom, and at the Specified Office (as defined in the Agency Agreement) of each Paying Agent. The Noteholders and the holders of the related interest coupons (the “Couponholders” and the “Coupons” respectively) are entitled to the benefit of, are bound by and are deemed to have notice of all the provisions of the Trust Deed and those applicable to them of the Agency Agreement. Terms defined in the Trust Deed (including the Schedules thereto) shall have the same meaning when used herein, except as otherwise provided.

1.FORM, DENOMINATION AND TITLE
1.1Form and denomination: The Notes are serially numbered and in bearer form in the denominations of U.S.$ 100,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$ 1,000 in excess thereof up to and including U.S.$ 199,000 each with Coupons attached on issue.
1.2Title: Title to the Notes and Coupons passes by delivery. The holder of any Note or Coupon will (except as otherwise required by law) be treated as its absolute owner for all purposes (whether or not it is overdue and regardless of any notice of ownership, trust or any interest in it, any writing on it, or its theft or loss) and no person will be liable for so treating the holder.
2.STATUS AND LIMITED RECOURSE
2.1Status

The Notes constitute secured, limited recourse obligations of the Issuer. Recourse in respect of the Notes is limited in the manner described in Condition 2.2 (Limited Recourse) below. The Notes are secured in the manner described in Condition 3 (Security) and shall at all times rank pari passu and without any preference amongst themselves.

2.2Limited Recourse

The sole purpose of the issue of the Notes is to provide the funds for the Issuer to finance the Loan. In each case where amounts of principal, interest and additional amounts (if any) are stated in these Conditions or in the Trust Deed to be payable in respect of the Notes, the obligation of the Issuer to make any such payment shall constitute an obligation only to account to the Noteholders on each date upon which such amounts of principal, interest and additional amounts (if any) are due in respect of the Notes, for an amount equivalent to sums of principal, interest or additional amounts (if any) actually received by or for the account of the Issuer pursuant to the Loan Agreement less any amount in respect of the Reserved Rights (as defined in Condition 3 (Security) below). If the Issuer receives any amount (a “relevant amount”) under the Loan Agreement in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Issuer’s obligation to make any corresponding payment under these Conditions or the Trust Deed shall be fully satisfied by paying such sum as the Issuer receives having converted the relevant amount into U.S. dollars (after deducting any costs of exchange) at the rate or rates of exchange at which the Issuer may in the ordinary course of business purchase U.S. dollars with the currency so received.

Any payment in respect of the Notes and the Coupons equivalent to the sums actually received (and not required to be repaid pursuant to appropriate Ukrainian bankruptcy legislation) by or for the account of the Issuer by way of principal, interest or additional amounts (if any) pursuant to the Loan Agreement (less any amounts in respect of the Reserved Rights) will be made pro rata among all Noteholders and Couponholders (as the case may be), on or as soon as practicable after the date of the receipt of, and in the currency of, and subject to the conditions attaching to, the equivalent payment pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The Issuer shall not be liable to make any payment in respect of the Notes or the Coupons other than as expressly provided in these Conditions and in the Trust Deed. The Issuer shall not be under any obligation to exercise in favour of the Noteholders or Couponholders any rights of set-off or of banker’s lien or to combine accounts or counterclaim that may arise out of other transactions between the Issuer and the Bank.

It is a condition of the Notes that:

2.2.1neither the Issuer nor the Trustee makes any representation or warranty in respect of, and shall at no time have any responsibility for or liability or obligation in respect of, or, save as otherwise expressly provided in the Trust Deed or in Condition 2.2.6 below, the performance and observance by the Bank of its obligations under the Loan Agreement or the recoverability of any sum of principal or interest (or any additional amounts) due or to become due from the Bank under the Loan Agreement;
2.2.2neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall at any time have any responsibility for, or obligation or liability in respect of, the condition (financial, operational or otherwise), creditworthiness, affairs, status, nature or prospects of the Bank;
2.2.3neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall at any time be liable for any misrepresentation or breach of warranty or any act, default or omission of the Bank under, or in respect of, the Loan Agreement;
2.2.4neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall at any time have any responsibility for, or liability or obligation in respect of, the performance and observance by the Principal Paying Agent or any Paying Agent of their respective obligations under the Agency Agreement;
2.2.5the financial servicing and performance of the terms of the Notes and the Coupons depend solely and exclusively upon performance by the Bank of its obligations under the Loan Agreement, its covenant to pay under the Loan Agreement and its credit and financial standing. The Bank has represented and warranted to the Issuer in the Loan Agreement that the Loan Agreement constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations of the Bank. The representations and warranties given by the Bank in Clause 10 (Representation and Warranties of the Borrower) of the Loan Agreement are given by the Bank to the Issuer for the benefit of the Issuer and neither the Trustee, any Noteholder nor any Couponholder shall have any remedies or rights against the Bank that the Issuer may have with respect to such representations or warranties, other than any right the Trustee may have pursuant to the Loan Administration Assignment (as defined in Condition 3 (Security) below);
2.2.6the Issuer and, pursuant to the Loan Administration Assignment, the Trustee will and are entitled to rely on self-certification by the Bank and, where applicable, certification by third parties as a means of monitoring whether the Bank is complying with its obligations under the Loan Agreement and shall not otherwise be responsible for investigating any aspect of the Bank’s performance in relation to the Loan Agreement and, subject as further provided in the Trust Deed, neither the Issuer nor the Trustee will be liable for any failure to make any investigation which might be made by a lender or a security holder in relation to the Loan or the property which is the subject of the Security Interests (as defined in Condition 3 (Security) below) and held by way of security for the Notes, as applicable, and the Trustee shall not be bound to enquire into or be liable for any defect or failure in the right or title of the Issuer to the property which is the subject of the Security Interests whether such defect or failure was known to the Trustee or might have been discovered upon examination or enquiry and whether capable of remedy or not, nor will it have any liability for the enforceability of the security created by the Security Interests whether or not as a result of any failure, omission or defect in registering or filing or otherwise protecting or perfecting such security and the Trustee will have no responsibility for the value of such security;
2.2.7if the Bank is required by law to make any withholding or deduction for or on account of tax from any payment under the Loan Agreement or if the Issuer is required by law to make any withholding or deduction for or on account of tax from any payment in respect of the Notes, the sole obligation of the Issuer will be to pay to the Noteholders sums equivalent to the sums actually received from the Bank pursuant to the Loan Agreement in respect of such payment, including, if applicable, additional amounts in respect of the tax required to be so withheld or deducted; the Issuer shall not be obliged to take any actions or measures as regards such deductions or withholdings other than those set out in Clause 7 (Taxes) of the Loan Agreement; and
2.2.8neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall at any time be required to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of their obligations or duties or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion pursuant to these Conditions until they have received the funds from the Bank that are necessary (in its opinion) to cover the costs and expenses in connection with such performance or exercise.

Save as otherwise expressly provided in these Conditions and in the Trust Deed, no proprietary or other direct interest in the Issuer’s rights under or in respect of the Loan Agreement or the Loan exists for the benefit of the Noteholders. Subject to the terms of the Trust Deed, no Noteholder or Couponholder will have any entitlement to enforce any of the provisions in the Loan Agreement or have direct recourse to the Bank except through action by the Trustee in respect of the Security Interests. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee (as the case may be) shall be required to take proceedings to enforce payment under the Loan Agreement unless, subject to the more detailed provisions of the Trust Deed, it has been indemnified and/or secured and/or pre-funded to its satisfaction against all liabilities, claims and demands to which it may thereby become liable and all costs, charges and expenses which may be incurred by it in connection therewith.

Payments made by the Bank under the Loan Agreement to, or to the order of, the Trustee or (subject to the provisions of the Trust Deed) the Principal Paying Agent will satisfy pro tanto the obligations of the Issuer in respect of the Notes and Coupons.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Conditions and the provisions in the Trust Deed, the Trustee and the Noteholders and Couponholders shall have recourse only to the property subject to the Security Interests in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Deed. After realisation of the Security Interests which have become enforceable, the obligations of the Issuer with respect to the Trustee and the Noteholders and Couponholders in respect of the Notes and Coupons shall be satisfied and none of the foregoing parties may take any further steps against the Issuer to recover any further sums in respect thereof and the right to receive any such sums shall be extinguished. In particular, neither the Trustee nor any Noteholder or Couponholder shall petition or take any other step for the winding-up of the Issuer.

Noteholders and Couponholders are deemed to have accepted and agreed that they will be relying solely and exclusively on the performance of the Bank of its obligations under the Loan Agreement which depends on the credit and financial standing of the Bank in respect of the financial servicing of the Notes.

3.SECURITY

The obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and all other moneys payable under the Trust Deed are secured by the following security (together referred to as the “Charge”):

(i)a charge by way of first fixed security in favour of the Trustee of all its rights to principal, interest and other amounts paid and payable by the Bank to the Issuer as lender in respect of the Loan under the Loan Agreement;
(ii)a charge by way of first fixed security in favour of the Trustee of the right to receive all sums which may be paid or be or become payable by the Bank under any claim, award or judgment relating to the Loan Agreement;
(iii)a charge by way of first fixed security in favour of the Trustee of all its rights, title and interest in and to all sums of money now or in the future deposited in an account in the name of the Issuer with the Principal Paying Agent, account number 0196713 0000 USD 000 CTA, MTAG 19671300 together with the debts represented thereby (other than interest from time to time earned thereon) (the “Account”); and
(iv)a charge by way of first fixed security in favour of the Trustee of all its rights, title and interest in Permitted Investments (as defined in the Trust Deed) if any,

(other than Reserved Rights (as defined below)) (the “Charged Property”).

Reserved Rights” means the Issuer’s right to amounts in respect of any rights, interests and benefits of the Issuer under the following clauses of the Loan Agreement: Clause 3.2 (Payment of Fees), Clause 5.3 (Calculation of Additional Interest), Clause 6.3 (Prepayment upon Illegality) and Clause 6.4 (Prepayment in the event of a Change of Control) (other than the right to receive any amounts payable under such Clauses 6.3 and 6.4), Clause 6.7 (Costs of Prepayment/Repayment) (second sentence thereof), Clause 7.1 (Additional Amounts) (penultimate sentence thereof), Clause 7.3.1 and, to the extent it does not relate to a withholding or deduction in respect of a payment to a Noteholder, Clause 7.3.2, Clause 7.5 (Tax Credits and Tax Refunds), Clause 7.7 (Delivery of Forms), Clause 9 (Change in Circumstances), Clause 10 (Representations and Warranties of the Borrower), Clause 15 (Accrual of Interest and Indemnity) and Clause 18 (Costs and Expenses).

The Issuer, pursuant to the Trust Deed, with full title guarantee will assign absolutely by way of security to the Trustee for the benefit of itself and the Noteholders all the rights, interests and benefits, both present and future, which have accrued or may accrue to the Issuer as lender under or pursuant to the Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, the right to declare the Loan immediately due and payable and to take proceedings to enforce the obligations of the Bank thereunder), other than and excluding the rights subject to the Charge described in Condition 3(i) above and the Reserved Rights (the “Loan Administration Assignment”, and together with the Charge, the “Security Interests”).

In certain circumstances, the Trustee may (subject to its being indemnified and/or secured and/or pre-funded to its satisfaction) be required in writing by Noteholders holding at least one-quarter of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding or by an Extraordinary Resolution (as defined in the Trust Deed) of the Noteholders to exercise certain of its powers under the Trust Deed (including those arising in connection with the Security Interests).

4.ISSUER’S COVENANT

As provided in the Trust Deed, so long as any of the Notes or Coupons remain outstanding (as defined in the Trust Deed), the Issuer will not, without the prior written consent of the Trustee or an Extraordinary Resolution, agree to any amendment to or any modification or waiver of, or authorise any breach or proposed breach of, or give any consent under, the terms of the Loan Agreement and (to the extent reasonably practicable) will act at all times in accordance with any instructions of the Trustee from time to time with respect to the Loan Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Trust Deed or the Loan Agreement. Any such amendment, modification, waiver, consent or authorisation made with the consent of the Trustee shall be binding on the Noteholders and, unless the Trustee agrees otherwise, any such amendment or modification shall be notified by the Issuer to the Noteholders and Couponholders in accordance with Condition 15 (Notices).

5.INTEREST

On each Interest Payment Date (or such later date as amounts equivalent to amounts of interest are received from the Bank) the Issuer shall account to the Noteholders and/or Couponholders for an amount equivalent to amounts of interest actually received by or for the account of the Issuer pursuant to the Loan Agreement, which interest under the Loan Agreement is equal to 9.375 per cent. per annum as set out in Clause 5.2 (Calculation of Interest) of the Loan Agreement (the “Rate of Interest”).

The amount of interest payable on an Interest Payment Date shall be calculated by applying the Rate of Interest to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes, dividing the product by two and rounding the resultant figure to the nearest cent (half a cent being rounded upwards), except that the total aggregate amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date shall be U.S.$9,322,916.67. If interest is required to be calculated for any other period, it will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 months of 30 days each and, in the case of an incomplete month, the number of days elapsed.

In this Condition 5, “Interest Payment Date” means 23 March and 23 September of each year, commencing on 23 March 2011.

6.REDEMPTION AND PURCHASE
6.1Final Redemption

All the Notes will be redeemed at their outstanding principal amount on 23 September 2015 or, if such a day is not a business day, the next succeeding business day (the “Redemption Date”), unless previously redeemed pursuant to this Condition 6 or Condition 13 (Enforcement).

In this Condition 6.1, “business day” means a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks generally are open for business in New York City, London and Kyiv.

6.2Mandatory Redemption

The Notes will be redeemed in whole, but not in part, at any time, on giving not less than 15 days’ nor more than 90 days’ notice to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 15 (Notices) (which notice shall be irrevocable) at the outstanding principal amount thereof, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption if, immediately before giving such notice, the Issuer satisfies the Trustee as set out below in this Condition 6.2 that:

(a)the Issuer has received a notice of prepayment from the Bank pursuant to Clause 6.2 (Prepayment for Tax Reasons and Change in Circumstances) of the Loan Agreement;
(b)the Issuer has delivered a notice to the Bank requiring the Bank to repay the whole (but not part only) of the Loan in accordance with the provisions of Clause 6.3 (Repayment upon Illegality) of the Loan Agreement; or
(c)the Issuer has received a notice of Change of Control (as defined in the Loan Agreement) pursuant to Clause 6.4 (Prepayment in the event of a Change of Control) of the Loan Agreement.

Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption referred to in this Condition 6.2, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by two officers of the Issuer stating (i) that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption in accordance with this Condition 6.2; (ii) the text of the Bank’s notice of prepayment or details of the circumstances contemplated by Clause 6.2 (Prepayment for Tax Reasons and Change in Circumstances), Clause 6.4 (Prepayment in the event of a Change of Control) or Clause 6.3 (Repayment upon Illegality) of the Loan Agreement, as the case may be; and (iii) the date fixed for redemption of the Notes. The Trustee shall accept the certificate of the Issuer as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the applicable condition set out above, which shall be conclusive and binding on all parties and the Noteholders.

Upon the expiry of any such notice as is referred to in this Condition 6.2, the Issuer shall be bound to redeem the Notes in accordance with this Condition 6, subject as provided in Condition 7 (Payments).

6.3No other Redemption

The Issuer shall not be entitled to redeem the Notes otherwise than as provided in this Condition 6.

6.4Purchase

The Bank or any of its subsidiaries may at any time purchase or otherwise acquire Notes in the open market or otherwise and at any price. Such Notes may be held, reissued, resold or surrendered by the purchaser through the Issuer to the Principal Paying Agent for cancellation.

7.PAYMENTS
7.1Payments

Payments of principal and interest upon redemption will be made against presentation and surrender (or, in the case of a partial payment, endorsement) of the relevant Notes at the Specified Office of any Paying Agent (subject to the next paragraph) outside the United States by U.S. dollar cheque drawn on, or, upon application by a holder of a Note to the Specified Office of the Principal Paying Agent not later than the fifteenth day before the due date for redemption, by transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with, a bank in New York City.

Payments of interest (other than interest due on redemption) shall be made by U.S. dollar cheque drawn on, or upon application by a holder of a Note to the Specified Office of the Principal Paying Agent not later than the fifteenth day before the due date for any such payment, by transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with, a bank in New York City and (in the case of interest payable on redemption) upon surrender (or, in the case of part payment only, endorsement) of the relevant Coupons at the Specified Office of any Paying Agent outside the United States.

Payments of principal or interest may be made at the Specified Office of a Paying Agent in New York City if (i) the Issuer has appointed Paying Agents outside the United States with the reasonable expectation that such Paying Agents will be able to make payment of the full amount of the interest on the Notes in U.S. dollars when due; (ii) payment of the full amount of such interest at the offices of all such Paying Agents is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions; and (iii) payment is permitted by applicable United States law.

All payments in respect of the Notes are subject in all cases to any applicable fiscal or other laws and regulations, but without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 8 (Taxation). No commissions or expenses shall be charged to the Noteholders in respect of such payments.

If the due date for payment of interest or principal is not a business day, the holder of a Note or Coupon shall not be entitled to payment of the amount due until the next following business day and shall not be entitled to any further interest or other payment in respect of any such delay. In this paragraph, “business day” means, in relation to any place, a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealing in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in that place.

If a Note is presented without all unmatured Coupons relating thereto, a sum equal to the aggregate amount of the missing Coupons will be deducted from the amount of principal due for payment; provided, however, that, if the gross amount available for payment is less than the principal amount of such Note, the sum deducted will be that proportion of the aggregate amount of such missing Coupons which the gross amount actually available for payment bears to the principal amount of such Note. Each sum of principal so deducted shall be paid in the manner provided above against presentation and (provided that payment is made in full) surrender of the relevant missing Coupons.

Payments of interest other than in respect of matured Coupons shall be made only against presentation of the relevant Notes at the Specified Office of any Paying Agent outside the United States (or in New York City if permitted as above).

If a Paying Agent makes a partial payment in respect of any Note or Coupon presented to it for payment, such Paying Agent will endorse thereon a statement indicating the amount and date of such payment.

Save as directed by the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Deed, the Issuer will require the Bank to make all payments of principal and interest to be made pursuant to the Loan Agreement to the Principal Paying Agent to an account in the name of the Issuer. Under the Charge, the Issuer will charge by way of first fixed charge all its rights, title and interest in and to all sums of money then or in the future deposited in such account in favour of the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders.

7.2Initial Paying Agents

The name of the Principal Paying Agent and its initial Specified Office is set out at the end of these Conditions. The Issuer reserves the right, subject to the prior written approval of the Trustee, at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of the Principal Paying Agent, or any of the Paying Agents, and appoint additional or other paying agents provided that it will, subject to Condition 2.2.8, at all times maintain:

7.2.1a paying agent with a Specified Office in a member state of the European Union that will not be obliged to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to European Council Directive on the Taxation of Savings Income in the form of Interest Payments (Directive 2003/48/EC) or any other Directive implementing or complying with, or introduced to conform to, the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26-27 November 2000; and
7.2.2a Principal Paying Agent having a Specified Office in a major European city approved by the Trustee.

Notice of any termination or appointment and of any changes in Specified Offices will be given to the Noteholders and Couponholders in accordance with Condition 15 (Notices).

7.3Payment obligations limited

The obligations of the Issuer to make payments of principal, interest and additional amounts (if any) in respect of the Notes or the Coupons shall constitute an obligation only to account to the Noteholders and Couponholders on each Interest Payment Date or such other date upon which a payment is due in respect of the Notes or the Coupons for an amount equivalent to and in the same currency as amounts of principal, interest and/or additional amounts (if any) actually received by or for the account of the Issuer pursuant to the Loan Agreement less any amounts in respect of the Reserved Rights.

8.TAXATION

All payments of principal and interest by or on behalf of the Issuer in respect of the Notes or the Coupons shall be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatsoever nature (“Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the United Kingdom or Ukraine or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, unless such withholding or deduction of Taxes is required by law. In that case, the Issuer shall, subject as provided below, pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Noteholders and the Couponholders after the withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts which would have been receivable in respect of the Notes or the Coupons in the absence of the withholding or deduction, except that no additional amounts shall be payable in respect of any Note or Coupon:

8.1presented for payment by or on behalf of a holder which is liable to Taxes in respect of such Note or Coupon by reason of his having some connection with the United Kingdom or Ukraine other than the mere holding of the Note or Coupon; or
8.2where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive on the Taxation of Savings Income in the form of Interest Payments (Directive 2003/48/EC) or any other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26-27 November 2000 on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive; or
8.3presented for payment by or on behalf of a holder who would be able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Note or Coupon to another Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union; or
8.4presented for payment by or on behalf of a holder more than 30 days after the Relevant Date (as defined below) except to the extent that the relevant holder would have been entitled to additional amounts on presenting the relevant Note or Coupon for payment on the last day of the period of 30 days.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Issuer shall only make such payments to the Noteholders or Couponholders to the extent and at such time as it shall have actually received an equivalent amount from the Bank under the Loan Agreement subject always to the provisions of Condition 2 (Status and Limited Recourse).

To the extent that the Issuer does not receive from the Bank such equivalent amount in full, the Issuer shall account to each Noteholder or Couponholder for an additional amount equivalent to a pro rata proportion of such additional amount (if any) as is actually received by, or for the account of, the Issuer pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Agreement on or as soon as may be practicable after the date of the receipt of, in the currency of, and subject to any conditions attaching to the payment of, such additional amount by the Issuer.

In these Conditions, “Relevant Date” means the date on which the payment in question first becomes due except that, if the full amount of the money payable has not been received by the Principal Paying Agent or the Trustee on or before the due date, it means the date on which (the full amount of the money having been so received) notice to that effect has been duly given to the Noteholders and Couponholders by the Issuer in accordance with Condition 15 (Notices).

Any reference in these Conditions to principal or interest shall be deemed to include any additional amounts in respect of principal or interest (as the case may be) which may be payable under this Condition 8 or any undertaking given in addition to or in substitution for this Condition pursuant to the Trust Deed or the Loan Agreement.

If the Issuer or the Bank becomes subject at any time to any taxing jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom or Ukraine, as the case may be, references in these Conditions to the United Kingdom and/or Ukraine shall be construed as references to the United Kingdom and/or Ukraine and/or such other jurisdiction.

9.PRESCRIPTION

Notes will become void unless presented for payment within periods of 10 years (in the case of principal) and five years (in the case of interest) from the Relevant Date in respect thereof, subject to the provisions of Condition 7 (Payments).

10.REPLACEMENT OF NOTES AND COUPONS

If any Note or Coupon is lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed, it may be replaced at the Specified Office of the Principal Paying Agent upon payment by the claimant of the expenses incurred in connection with such replacement and on such terms as to evidence, security, indemnity and otherwise as the Issuer may reasonably require. Mutilated or defaced Notes or Coupon must be surrendered before replacements will be issued.

11.TRUSTEE AND PAYING AGENTS
11.1Indemnification of the Trustee

The Trust Deed and the Fees Letter (as defined in the Loan Agreement) contain, inter alia, provisions for the indemnification of the Trustee, provisions for its relief from responsibility, including relieving it from taking action unless indemnified and/or secured and/or pre-funded to its satisfaction, and provisions entitling it to be paid its costs and expenses in priority to the claims of the Noteholders or Couponholders.

The Trustee’s responsibilities are solely those of trustee for the Noteholders on the terms of the Trust Deed. Accordingly, the Trustee makes no representations and assumes no responsibility for the validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement or the security created in respect thereof or for the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under or in respect of the Notes and the Trust Deed or by the Bank in respect of the Loan Agreement. The Trustee is entitled to assume that the Bank is performing all of its obligations pursuant to the Loan Agreement and that no Event of Default, Potential Event of Default, Change of Control, Rating Decline, Negative Ratings Event (as each such term is defined in the Loan Agreement) or Relevant Event has occurred (and shall have no liability for doing so) until it has actual knowledge to the contrary.

The Trustee shall have no liability to Noteholders for any shortfall they may suffer if it is liable for tax in respect of any payments received by it or as a result of the Security Interests being held or enforced by it.

11.2Trustee contracting with the Issuer and the Bank

11.3Trustee to have regard to interests of Noteholders as one class

In connection with the exercise by it of any of its trusts, powers, authorities and discretions (including, without limitation, any modification, waiver, authorisation, determination or substitution), the Trustee shall have regard to the general interests of the Noteholders as a class but shall not have regard to any interests arising from circumstances particular to individual Noteholders (whatever their number) and, in particular but without limitation, shall not have regard to the consequences of any such exercise for individual Noteholders or Couponholders (whatever their number) resulting from their being for any purpose domiciled or resident in, or otherwise connected with, or subject to the jurisdiction of, any particular territory or any political subdivision thereof and the Trustee shall not be entitled to require, nor shall any Noteholder be entitled to claim, from the Issuer, the Trustee or any other person any indemnification or payment in respect of any tax consequence of any such exercise upon individual Noteholders or Couponholders except to the extent already provided for in Condition 8 (Taxation) and/or any undertaking given in addition to, or in substitution for, Condition 8 (Taxation) pursuant to the Trust Deed.

11.4Paying Agents

In acting under the Agency Agreement and in connection with the Notes, the Paying Agents act solely as agents of the Issuer and (to the extent provided therein) the Trustee and do not assume any obligations towards or relationship of agency or trust for or with any of the Noteholders or Couponholders.

The Trustee may, in making any determination under these Conditions, the Trust Deed or the Loan Agreement, act on the opinion or advice of, or information obtained from, any lawyer, banker, valuer, surveyor, broker, auctioneer, accountant, auditor or other expert and will not be responsible for any loss, liability, cost, claim, action, demand, expense or inconvenience which may result from it so acting or not acting notwithstanding that such opinion or advice (or the engagement letter relating thereto) contains a limitation on liability or, in the case of the auditors, disclaims all liability.

Unless ordered to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Trustee shall not be required to disclose to any Noteholder any confidential financial or other information made available to the Trustee by the Issuer or the Bank.

12.MEETINGS OF NOTEHOLDERS, MODIFICATION, WAIVER, SUBSTITUTION AND APPOINTMENT
12.1Meetings of Noteholders

The Trust Deed contains provisions for convening meetings of Noteholders to consider any matter affecting their interests, including any modification of, or any arrangement in respect of, the Notes or the Trust Deed. Noteholders will, in respect of any vote by poll, be entitled to one vote per U.S.$ 1,000 in principal amount of Notes held by them. Special quorum provisions apply for meetings of Noteholders convened for the purpose of amending certain terms concerning, inter alia, the amount payable on, and the currency of payment in respect of, the Notes and the amounts payable and currency of payment under the Loan Agreement.

Any resolution duly passed at a meeting of Noteholders will be binding on all the Noteholders and Couponholders, whether present or not.

In addition, a resolution in writing signed by or on behalf of all holders of Notes then outstanding who for the time being are entitled to receive notice of a meeting of Noteholders under the Trust Deed will take effect as if it were an Extraordinary Resolution. Such a resolution in writing may be contained in one document or several documents in the same form, each signed by or on behalf of one or more holders of Notes then outstanding.

12.2Modification

The Trustee may agree, without the consent of the Noteholders or Couponholders, subject to the provisions of the Trust Deed, (a) to any modification of these Conditions and the Trust Deed and the Loan Agreement (other than in respect of a Reserved Matter) which, in the opinion of the Trustee, is not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders or the Couponholders; or (b) to any modification of these Conditions and the Trust Deed and the Loan Agreement which, in the opinion of the Trustee, is of a formal, minor or technical nature or is made to correct a manifest error. The Trustee may also, subject to the provisions of the Trust Deed, waive or authorise or agree to the waiving or authorising of any breach or proposed breach by the Issuer of these Conditions or the Trust Deed, or by the Bank of the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, or determine that any event which would or might otherwise give rise to (i) a right of acceleration under the Loan Agreement; or (ii) a Relevant Event shall not be treated as such, if, in the opinion of the Trustee, to do so would not be materially prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders or Couponholders. Any such modification, waiver or authorisation shall be binding on the Noteholders or Couponholders and, unless the Trustee agrees otherwise, any such modification shall be promptly notified to the Noteholders or Couponholders.

12.3Substitution of the Issuer

The Trust Deed contains provisions to the effect that the Issuer may, having obtained the consent of the Trustee (which consent may be given without the consent of the Noteholders or Couponholders) and having complied with such requirements as the Trustee may direct in the interests of the Noteholders, substitute any entity in place of the Issuer as issuer and principal obligor in respect of the Notes and as principal obligor under the Trust Deed, subject to the relevant provisions of the Trust Deed and the substitute’s rights under the Loan Agreement being charged and assigned, respectively, to, and to the satisfaction of, the Trustee as security for the payment obligations of the substitute obligor under the Trust Deed and the Notes. Such substitution shall be notified to the Noteholders and the Couponholders as soon as practicable thereafter and in accordance with Condition 15 (Notices).

12.4Appointment or removal of Trustee

The Trust Deed contains provision for the appointment or removal of a Trustee by a meeting of Noteholders passing an Extraordinary Resolution (as defined in the Trust Deed), provided that in the case of the removal of a Trustee, at all times there remains a trustee in office in respect of the Notes. Any appointment or removal of a Trustee shall be notified to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 15 (Notices). The Trustee may also resign such appointment giving not less than three months’ notice to the Noteholders provided that such resignation shall not become effective unless there remains a Trustee in office after such resignation.

13.ENFORCEMENT
13.1Enforcement by the Trustee

At any time after an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) shall have occurred and be continuing, or a Relevant Event (as defined below) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may, at its discretion and without notice, institute such steps, actions or proceedings as it thinks fit to enforce its rights under the Trust Deed in respect of the Notes, but it shall not be bound to do so unless:

13.1.1it has been so requested in writing by the holders of at least one-quarter in principal amount of the outstanding Notes or has been so directed by an Extraordinary Resolution; and
13.1.2it has been indemnified and/or provided with security and/or pre-funded to its satisfaction against all liabilities, proceedings, claims and demands to which it may thereby become liable and all costs, charges and expenses which may be incurred by it in connection therewith.

In the case of an Event of Default or a Relevant Event the Trustee may, and shall if requested to do so by Noteholders holding at least one-quarter in principal amount of the Notes outstanding or if directed to do so by an Extraordinary Resolution and, in either case, subject to its being secured and/or indemnified and/or pre-funded to its satisfaction, (a) (in the case of an Event of Default) declare or require the Issuer to declare all amounts payable under the Loan Agreement by the Bank to be due and payable; or (b) (in the case of a Relevant Event) subject to Condition 2.2 (Limited Recourse), enforce the security created in the Trust Deed in favour of the Trustee. Subject to Condition 2.2.8 upon repayment of the Loan following an Event of Default, the Notes (and related Coupons) will be redeemed or repaid at their principal amount together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and thereupon shall cease to be outstanding.

For the purposes of these Conditions, “Relevant Event” means any of (a) the failure by the Issuer to make any payment of principal or interest on the Notes when the same is due to be made by the Issuer and such failure is not remedied with five (5) Business Days (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of the due date for that payment; (b) the making of an order in proceedings in the United Kingdom in respect of the winding up or dissolution of the Issuer or for a composition with the Issuer’s creditors; and (c) the passing of an effective resolution for the winding up or dissolution of the Issuer.

13.2Enforcement by the Noteholder

No Noteholder or Couponholder may proceed directly against the Issuer unless the Trustee, having become bound to do so, fails to do so within a reasonable time and the failure is continuing.

14.FURTHER ISSUES

The Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of the Noteholders or Couponholders and in accordance with the Trust Deed, create and issue further notes having the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects (or in all respects except for the issue price, issue date and/or first payment of interest on such further notes) so as to be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes (“Further Notes”). Such Further Notes shall be issued under a deed supplemental to the Trust Deed. In relation to any issue of Further Notes (i) the Issuer will enter into a supplemental loan agreement with the Bank on substantially the same terms as the Loan Agreement (or on the same terms except for the first payment of interest) subject to any modifications which, in the sole opinion of the Trustee, would not materially prejudice the interests of the Noteholders or Couponholders; and (ii) the Security Interests granted in respect of the Notes will be amended or supplemented so as to secure amounts due in respect of such Further Notes also and/or the Issuer will provide a further fixed charge in favour of the Trustee in respect of certain rights and interests under the Loan Agreement or any further loan agreement and will assign absolutely certain of its rights and interests under the Loan Agreement or any further loan agreement and any loan assignment equivalent to the rights charged and assigned as security in relation to the Issuer’s rights under the original Loan Agreement to secure amounts due on the Notes and such Further Notes.

15.NOTICES

Notices to Noteholders will be valid if published in a leading newspaper having general circulation in London (which is expected to be the Financial Times) or, if in the opinion of the Trustee such publication shall not be practicable, in an English language newspaper of general circulation in Europe. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more than once, on the first date on which publication is made. Couponholders will be deemed for all purposes to have notice of the contents of any notice given to the Noteholders in accordance with this Condition.

16.GOVERNING LAW

The Trust Deed, the Loan Agreement, the Notes and the Coupons and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them shall be governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, English law.

17.CONTRACTS (RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES) ACT 1999

No person shall have any right to enforce any term or condition of the Notes under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, but this does not affect any right or remedy of any person which exists or is available apart from that Act.

14Votes

Every Voter shall have:

(a)on a show of hands, one vote; and
(b)on a poll, one vote in respect of each U.S.$1,000 in aggregate face amount of the outstanding Note(s) represented or held by him, provided, however, that for so long as the Notes are represented by a Global Note which is held on behalf of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg and the rules of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg permit the Notes to be traded in amounts above U.S.$100,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof, each Voter shall have one vote in respect of each U.S.$1,000 in aggregate face amount of the outstanding Note(s) represented or held by him.

15Validity of Votes by Proxies

Any vote by a Proxy in accordance with the relevant Block Voting Instruction or Form of Proxy shall be valid even if such Block Voting Instruction or Form of Proxy or any instruction pursuant to which it was given has been amended or revoked, provided that the Principal Paying Agent has not been notified in writing of such amendment or revocation by the time which is 24 hours before the time fixed for the relevant Meeting. Unless revoked, any appointment of a Proxy under a Block Voting Instruction or Form of Proxy in relation to a Meeting shall remain in force in relation to any resumption of such Meeting following an adjournment; provided, however, that no such appointment of a Proxy in relation to a Meeting originally convened which has been adjourned for want of a quorum shall remain in force in relation to such Meeting when it is resumed.
