ARTICLE 7 - INTEREST

7.1

Computation

Interest due in respect of the DEFERRED PAYMENT FACILITY will be computed at the following rate per annum:

6-month EURIBOR + 2.9%

Such interest will be calculated on a 365 over 360 day basis and the actual number of days elapsed.

7.1.1

In respect of the DEFERRED PAYMENT FACILITY:

For the calculation of interest there will be six consecutive interest periods. The first interest period shall be the period starting on the date falling 30 days after delivery of the first consignment of the EQUIPMENT to the point of customs clearance (customs warehouse) in the City of Moscow or Moscow Region (Moskovskaya Oblast) and ending on the date for the first repayment to be made pursuant to Article 5. Each subsequent interest period shall start on the last date of the preceding period and end on the next date for repayment to be made under PHASE 17 pursuant to Article 5.

7.1.2

The rate of interest in respect of the first interest period shall be the rate determined by Alcatel and notified to KBI by applying the above mentioned interest rate irrespective of the actual duration of such first interest period on the date falling 2 BUSINESS DAYS prior to the date falling 30 days after the delivery of the first consignment of EQUIPMENT (as the case may be) to the point of customs clearance (customs warehouse) in the City of Moscow or Moscow Region (Moskovskaya Oblast).

The rate of interest in respect of each subsequent interest period shall be the rate determined by ALCATEL according to this AGREEMENT and notified to KBI two BUSINESS DAYS prior to the commencement of such interest period.

If an interest period would otherwise end on a day which is not a BUSINESS DAY, that interest period will instead end on the next BUSINESS DAY.

7.2

Delayed payment

7.2.1

If KBI does not pay the sums payable under this AGREEMENT when due, it shall pay interest on the amount from time to time outstanding in respect of that overdue sum for the period beginning on its due date and ending on the date of its receipt by ALCATEL (both before and after judgment) in accordance with this Article 7.2.

7.2.2

Such interest shall be calculated and payable by reference to successive interest periods, each of which (other than the first, which shall begin on the due date) will begin on the last day of the previous period. Each such period will be for a duration of six months and the rate of interest applicable for a particular period will be EURIBOR (calculated on the first day of that interest period) plus 9 per cent per annum. For the avoidance of doubt interest payable under this Article 7.2 is payable in respect of the actual period in respect of which any delayed payment is outstanding and not in respect of 6 month periods.

7.2.3

Interest payable under this Article 7.2 shall be capitalised on the last day of each period in respect of which it is calculated and on the date of payment of the overdue sum. Any interest which is not paid when due will be added to the overdue sum and will itself bear interest accordingly.

ARTICLE 8 - FINANCIAL EXPENSES

All charges, fees and stamp duties (including legal fees) accruing in connection with the conclusion, implementation and enforcement of this AGREEMENT shall be paid by KBI on demand (or in the case of stamp duties) promptly and in any event before any interest or penalty becomes payable.

Each partial payment of principal shall be in aggregate amount a minimum of EURO 100,000 (one hundred thousand) and shall be a whole multiple of EURO 100,000 (one hundred thousand);

9.1.3

The interest on the principal prepaid, accrued to the date of prepayment, shall be repaid in full on the date of prepayment together with any other sum then due under the AGREEMENT.

All sums prepaid pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the reverse order of the maturity dates of all amounts outstanding under the DEFERRED PAYMENT FACILITY and in the same order as provided in Article 9.3 and interest shall be cancelled or adjusted accordingly.

No amount repaid whether under this or any other Article under this AGREEMENT may be redrawn.

Should, however, ALCATEL intend to assign all or part of its rights and obligations under this AGREEMENT for refinancing purposes as outlined in Article 18.2 hereinafter, it shall give written notice thereof to KBI. Upon receipt of such written notice KBI shall have the option within 30 calendar days to prepay all or part of the principal sums due hereunder by applying the prepayment rules stated herein above. Regarding any amount not prepaid by KBI to ALCATEL within such 30 day period such right to prepay shall be cancelled. Should KBI effect any prepayment after such 30 day period it shall indemnify ALCATEL or the assignee as the case may be for cost of broken funds.

9.2

Method of payment

Payments in favour of ALCATEL shall be made on the due date before 10.00 a.m. local time (Frankfurt time) on the account to be notified by ALCATEL or another account which shall be from time to time designated to KBI in writing with at least 30 (thirty) days advance notice.

At any time after an EVENT OF DEFAULT described in Article 13.2. of this AGREEMENT has occurred, amounts due under the DEFERRED PAYMENT FACILITY shall, upon receipt by KBI of a written notice from ALCATEL, be paid by KBI in ROUBLES to the K-type Account of a Non-Resident Bank. In this case, KBI shall pay to the K-type Account of the Non-Resident Bank an amount in ROUBLES that is sufficient to ensure that, after such ROUBLES have been converted into EUROS, and after any fees, commissions, expenses, conversion charges, costs and other amounts have been deducted (whether on account of banking services or otherwise), ALCATEL will receive an amount in EUROS equal to the amount in EUROS that is owing to it under the other provisions of this AGREEMENT. The obligations of KBI hereunder will only be discharged to the extent that ALCATEL receives into its account in Germany full payment in EUROS in relation to all
amounts due hereunder.

For avoidance of doubts this provision is only an option for ALCATEL and does not create any rights for KBI.

9.3

Application of payment

Payments received from KBI shall be applied upon the then existing indebtedness of KBI pursuant to this AGREEMENT in the following order, in each case starting with the oldest maturities:

9.3.1

interest for late payment;

9.4.1

KBI shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by ALCATEL shall equal the gross amounts of principal and interest agreed to be paid under this AGREEMENT as if no such deduction or withholding had taken place; and

9.4.2

KBI will immediately forward to ALCATEL written evidence of the payment of such deductions, taxes or duties withheld.

In any event the Parties shall cooperate in good faith in order to avoid any withholding or deduction (when lawful) and double taxation and shall provide to each other all documents reasonably required under the relevant legislation.
