The principles in this Clause 6.1 shall operate together and not separately. The actions in the Demerger Step Plan shall in any case be subject to the principles set forth in this Clause 6.1.

	15.1	Each of the Parties hereto shall provide such information, perform such further acts and execute such additional documents as may be required to effectuate this Agreement, as relevant, and all other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall be deemed to have waived all statutory and contractual rights of pre-emption of any kind for such purpose. 

	15.2	The Sellers and Yandex agree to use their respective rights and powers to procure that MLU and SDG consent to the transfer of the relevant MLU Sale Shares, SDG Sale Shares and MLU Option Shares to Yandex and that such transfers are properly reflected in their respective books and records.

	16.	WITHHOLDINGS AND DEDUCTIONS

All payments to be made under this Agreement and the Trademark License shall be made without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding regardless of any requirements of Applicable Law or otherwise; provided, that, in the event that a change in Applicable Law that is first introduced after the date hereof requires deduction or withholding of Tax on amounts paid by Yandex pursuant to this Agreement or the Trademark License, Yandex will be permitted to make such deduction and withholding that results solely from that change in Applicable Law if, prior to making any such deduction or withholding Yandex provides Uber or its Affiliates notice of its intention to make such deduction or withholding (which notice shall include the authority, basis and method of calculation for the proposed deduction or withholding), at least three (3) Business Days before such deduction or withholding is required, in order for Uber or its Affiliates to obtain reduction of, or relief from, such deduction or withholding to the extent allowed under Applicable Law and Yandex shall use all reasonable endeavors to cooperate with Uber or its Affiliates to minimize any such Taxes.

To the extent that such information includes Yandex Competitively Sensitive Information, it shall be provided to Uber in compliance with a competition law protocol to be implemented by the parties. Uber’s rights under this Clause 17.1 shall not terminate prior to the completion of all applicable tax filings by Uber and its Affiliates with respect to the taxable year including the Call Option Closing.

	17.2	Yandex shall use all reasonable commercial endeavours to procure that an analysis of the material tax consequences of the Demerger in each of Israel, Armenia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, prepared by appropriate outside Tax counsel and/or a member of the “Big Four” (or, where appropriate, a reputable national firm), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Uber, be provided to Uber prior to the Demerger Shares Closing.

	20.	GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Governing law
	20.1	This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this Agreement are governed by English law. 

Dispute resolution 
	20.2	The Parties agree that any claim, dispute, difference or controversy of whatever nature arising under, out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement (including a claim, dispute, difference or controversy regarding its existence, termination, validity, interpretation, performance, breach, the consequences of its nullity or any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this Agreement) (a “Dispute”), shall be referred to and finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the LCIA Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) as at present in force and as modified by this Clause 20.2, which Rules shall be deemed incorporated into this Clause and capitalised terms used in this Clause which are not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meaning given to them in the Rules. This Clause 20.2 and any non-contractual provisions arising out of or in connection with this Clause 2.2 are governed by English law.

		(a)	The number of arbitrators shall be three (3), one (1) of whom shall be nominated by the Claimant(s), one by the Respondent(s) and the third (3rd) of whom, who shall act as presiding arbitrator, shall be nominated by the two (2) party-nominated arbitrators, provided that if the third arbitrator has not been nominated within thirty-five (35) days of the nomination of the second party-nominated arbitrator such third (3rd) arbitrator shall be appointed by the LCIA Court. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Clause 20.2(a), the LCIA Court may order expedited formation of the Arbitral Tribunal pursuant to Article 9A of the Rules and for that purpose the LCIA Court may elect and appoint the presiding arbitrator at any time. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Rules, the Parties may nominate and the LCIA Court may appoint arbitrators (including the presiding arbitrator) from among the nationals of any country, whether or not a Party is a national of that country.

		(b)	The seat or legal place of arbitration shall be London, England, and the language used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. All documents submitted in connection with the arbitral proceedings shall be in the English language or, if in another language, accompanied by an English translation. Sections 45 and 69 of the Arbitration Act 1996 shall not apply.

		(c)	No Party shall be required to give general discovery of documents but may be required only to produce specific, identified documents or classes of documents which are relevant to the Dispute and material to its outcome.

		(d)	Each Party agrees that the arbitration agreement set out in this Clause 20.2 and the arbitration agreement contained in each Related Agreement shall together be deemed to be a single arbitration agreement.

​

Information in this exhibit identified by [***] is confidential and has been excluded pursuant to Item 601(b)(10)(iv) of Regulation S-K because it is both not material and would likely cause competitive harm to the registrant if publicly disclosed.

		(e)	Each Party consents to being joined to any arbitration commenced under this Agreement or a Related Agreement 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 20.2 may effect joinder by serving notice on any party to this Agreement or any Related Agreement 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 twenty-eight (28) days 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 in Clause 20.2(a).

		(f)	An Arbitral Tribunal constituted under this Agreement may, unless consolidation would prejudice the rights of any party, consolidate an arbitration hereunder with an arbitration under a Related Agreement 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 20.2(f) 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 20.2(f), 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 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.

		(g)	To the extent permitted by law, each Party waives any objection, on the basis that a Dispute has been resolved in a manner contemplated by Clause 20.2(e) to 20.2(f), to the validity and/or enforcement of any arbitral award.

		(h)	Each Party agrees that any arbitration under this Clause 20.2 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.

		(i)	The law of this arbitration agreement, including its validity and scope, shall be English law.

		(j)	This agreement to arbitrate shall be binding upon the Parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

	21.	PROCESS AGENT

	21.1	Uber irrevocably consents to the process by which any proceedings are commenced in the English courts in support of, or in connection with, an arbitration commenced pursuant to Clause 20.2 (Dispute Resolution) being served on it by being delivered to Uber London Limited, First Floor, Aldgate Tower, 2 Leman Street, Whitechapel, London E1 8FA, England. If such person is not or ceases to be effectively appointed to accept service of process on behalf of Uber, Uber shall immediately appoint a further person in England to accept service of process on its behalf.

	21.2	Yandex irrevocably appoints Law Debenture Corporate Services Limited as their agent under this Agreement for service of process and agrees that the process by which any proceedings are commenced in the English courts in support of, or in connection with, an arbitration commenced pursuant to Clause 20.2 may be served on it by being delivered to 8th Floor 100 Bishopsgate, London, United Kingdom, EC2N 4AG. If such person is not or ceases to be effectively appointed to accept service of process on behalf of Yandex, then Yandex shall immediately appoint a further person in England to accept service of process on its behalf. 

	21.3	Each of the Parties agree that failure by a process agent to notify it of any process will not invalidate the relevant proceedings or render service of those proceedings ineffective.

	21.4	Nothing in this Clause 21 shall affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

THIS AGREEMENT has been duly EXECUTED by the Parties (or their duly authorised representatives) as of the date first above written.

​
NEW CLAUSE 23.4 OF DEED OF SHA AMENDMENT 
​
​
23.4 If Uber delivers a Qualified IPO Notice after the Call Option Termination Date in accordance with Clauses 23.1.3 and 23.3, Yandex shall be entitled to exercise its right to defer such Qualified IPO on no more than [***] occasion for a period of up to [***] months following the date on which Uber first delivers a Qualified IPO Notice (such date, as so deferred, the “IPO Deferral Date”) by giving a notice in writing to Uber within [***] Business Days of receipt of such Qualified IPO Notice exercising its right to defer such Qualified IPO. If Yandex has exercised the deferral rights in accordance with the foregoing and a Qualified IPO has not been consummated within [***] months following the IPO Deferred Date, then Clause 20 (Right of First Refusal) shall not apply to any Transfer by Uber to a Third Party Purchaser following the last date on which the IPO should have been consummated in accordance with this sentence and Clauses 23.5 to 23.8 (inclusive) shall instead apply; provided, however, that in the case of a proposed Transfer by Uber to Alphabet or Bolt, Clause 20 (Right of First Refusal) (but not Clauses 23.5 to 23.8) shall continue to apply.  If Yandex does not notify Uber of such deferral within [***] Business Days of receipt of a Qualified IPO Notice, it shall forfeit the right to any deferral under this Clause 23.4 in the future.

Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under the Securities Purchase Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof to the fullest extent enforceable under applicable law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

	9.	Counterparts; Headings. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.  Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
	 	 
	10.	Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
	 	 
	11.	Amendments. Any amendments or modifications hereto must be executed in writing by all parties hereto.
