For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that any Sanctions against Sberbank (or Digital Assets) existing and publicly disclosed and in force as of the date of this Agreement would not prohibit YNV and the Company from consummating the Investment.

			13.6.2     If any deduction or withholding is required by Applicable Law to be made from any payment in respect of a claim under this Agreement, in either case other than payment of the Consideration (as adjusted), the payer shall increase the amount of the payment to the extent necessary to ensure that the net amount received by the recipient (after taking into account all deductions or withholdings) is equal to the amount that it would have received had the payment not been subject to any such deductions or withholdings. The recipient or expected recipient of an amount paid under this Agreement (or any affiliate of or person with an interest in such recipient) shall take such measures as are reasonable to claim from the appropriate Tax Authority any exemption, rate reduction, refund, credit or similar benefit (including pursuant to any relevant double tax treaty) to which it is entitled in respect of any deduction or withholding in respect of which a payment has been made or would otherwise be required to be made pursuant to this Clause 13.6.2 and, for such purposes, shall, within any applicable time limits, submit any claims, notices, returns or applications and send a copy thereof to the payer.
		

		
			13.6.3     If the recipient of a payment made under this Agreement (or any Affiliate of or person with an interest in such recipient) receives a credit for or refund of any Taxation payable by it or similar benefit by reason of any deduction or withholding for or on account of Taxation, then it shall reimburse to the payer such part of such additional amounts paid to it pursuant to Clause 13.6.2 as the recipient of the payment certifies to the payer will leave it (after such reimbursement) in no better and no worse position than it would have been if the payer had not been required to make such deduction or withholding.
		

		
			13.6.4     Where any payment is made or to be made under this Agreement pursuant to an indemnity, compensation or reimbursement provision (or any reimbursement made pursuant to Clause 13.6.3) then the sum payable shall be adjusted to such sum as will ensure that
		

		
			(i)        after payment of any Taxation charged on such sum in the hands of the recipient (including any Taxation which would have been charged in the absence of any Reliefs); and
		

		
			(ii)       after giving credit for any Reliefs that is or will be available to the recipient in respect of the matter giving rise to the payment,
		

		
			the recipient shall be left with a sum equal to the sum that it would have received in the absence of such a charge to Taxation or relief.

			13.6.7     Payment of a sum in accordance with this Clause 13.6 shall constitute a payment in full of the sum payable and shall be a good discharge to the payer (and those on whose behalf such payment is made) of the payer’s obligation to make such payment and the payer (and those on whose behalf such payment is made) shall not be obliged to see to the application of the payment as between those on whose behalf the payment is received.
		

		
			13.7     Costs

			This Agreement may be entered into in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. YNV, the Company and Sberbank (or the Sberbank Nominee, as appropriate) may enter into this Agreement by executing any such counterpart.
		

		
			13.13   Arbitration
		

		
			13.13.1   The Parties agree that, in respect of any claim, dispute or difference or controversy of whatever nature arising 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) (each, a “Dispute”), they shall notify in writing the other Parties and attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute. If no such resolution can be reached during the 30-day period following the date of such written notice, then such Dispute shall be referred upon the application of any Party to, and finally settled by, arbitration in accordance with the London Court of International Arbitration (“LCIA”) Rules (the “Rules”) as in force at the date of this Agreement, which Rules, as amended by this Clause 13.13, are deemed to be incorporated into this Clause 13.13,  and capitalised terms used in this Clause 13.13 which are not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meaning given to them in the Rules.
		

		
			13.13.2   The number of arbitrators shall be three, one of whom shall be nominated by the Claimant(s) between them, one by the Respondent(s) between them, and the third of whom, who shall act as presiding arbitrator of the tribunal, shall be nominated by the two party-nominated arbitrators, provided that if the third arbitrator has not been nominated within ** of the nomination of the second party nominated arbitrator, such third arbitrator shall be appointed by the LCIA.
		

		
			13.13.3   The seat of arbitration shall be London, England and the language of arbitration shall be English. Sections 45 and 69 of the Arbitration Act 1996 shall not apply.
		

		
			13.13.4   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.
		

		
			13.13.5   Each Party agrees that the arbitration agreement set out in this Clause 13.13 and the arbitration agreement contained in each other Transaction Document (other than the Ancillary Agreements and all documents entered into pursuant to the Ancillary Agreements)  shall together be deemed to be a single arbitration agreement.
		

		
			13.13.6   Each 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 13.13 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 in Clause 13.13.2.
		

		
			13.13.7   An 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 13.13.7 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 13.13.7, 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.
		

		
			13.13.8   To 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 13.13.6 to 13.13.7, to the validity and/or enforcement of any arbitral award.
		

		
			13.13.9   Each Party agrees that any arbitration under this Clause 13.13 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.
		

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

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

		
			13.14   Governing Law and Submission to Jurisdiction
		

		
			13.14.1   This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by English law.
		

		
			13.14.2   The Parties acknowledge that the Deed of Issuance shall be governed by the laws of the Netherlands and that in the event of a dispute between the Parties arising out of or

			21.1.3     In the event that any Principal Shareholder becomes precluded from subscribing for any Additional Securities pursuant to this Clause 21.1 as a result of any sanctions introduced after the date of this Agreement against the other Principal Shareholder, the Principal Shareholders shall enter into good faith discussions on available alternative solutions in respect of financing to be provided to the Group.
		

		
			21.2     Debt finance
		

		
			21.2.1     If at any time the Board determines that the Group needs additional debt finance, the Company shall invite Sberbank, in its absolute discretion, to make an offer to provide such finance and, provided such offer is on terms at least equivalent (taken as a whole) to the best terms offered by any third party lenders, the Group shall procure such debt finance from Sberbank.
		

		
			21.2.2     The Parties agree that, subject to Clause 21.1, there is no obligation on the Principal Shareholders to provide any further financing to the Group.

			(c)      In the event that the Transferring Shareholder fails to comply with the terms of this Clause 22.4.3(ii) (the “Tag-along Default”), the Remaining Shareholder shall be entitled to give notice (the “Tag-along Default Notice”) within ** of the Tag-along Default occurring, requiring the Transferring Shareholder to purchase all of the Tag-along Shares held by the Remaining Shareholder at the same cash price as, and on no less favourable terms than, the Transfer Shares, and the Transferring Shareholder shall be obligated to complete such purchase within ** following receipt of such Tag-along Default Notice.

			(iv)        Each Dragged Shareholder, upon receipt of the Drag-along Notice and accompanying documents, shall be obliged to:
		

		
			(a)      sell all its Drag-along Shares (including giving warranties as to its title to its Drag-along Shares and its capacity to transfer the Drag-along Shares) on the date of completion of the Drag-along Exit;

			(v)        Completion of any transfer pursuant to this Clause 22.4.4 shall take place at the same time as completion of the transfer of the Transfer Shares. In order to effect such completion, the Offeror shall transfer the purchase price for the Drag-along Shares to the Company,  to receive and hold on behalf of each Dragged Shareholder, and each Dragged Shareholder shall deliver duly executed instrument(s) for share transfer (including a duly executed deed of transfer or a power of attorney authorising the execution of a deed of transfer on its behalf) for the Drag-along Shares to the Company. The Company’s receipt of the purchase price as agent on behalf of each Dragged Shareholder shall be a good discharge to the Offeror who shall not be bound to see to the application of those moneys.

If any Dragged Shareholder fails to deliver its duly executed instrument(s) for share transfer for its Drag-along Shares to the Company by completion, the Directors shall authorise any Director to transfer such Drag-along Shares on behalf of such Dragged Shareholder to the Offeror to the extent the Offeror has, by completion, put the Company in funds to pay the purchase price. The Directors shall then authorise registration of the transfer.

			If a Transferring Shareholder, a Remaining Shareholder or a Dragged Shareholder does not comply with its sale or purchase obligations in this Clause 22, then the provisions of Clause 25.2 shall apply.

			31.1     Arbitration
		

		
			31.1.1      The Parties agree that, in respect of any claim, dispute or difference or controversy of whatever nature arising 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) (each, a “Dispute”), they shall notify in writing the other parties and attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute. If no such resolution can be reached during the ** following the date of such written notice, then such Dispute shall be referred upon the application of any party to, and finally settled by, arbitration in accordance with the London Court of International Arbitration (“LCIA”) Rules (the “Rules”) as in force at the date of this Agreement, which Rules, as amended by this Clause 31.1, are deemed to be incorporated into this Clause 31.1,  and capitalised terms used in this Clause 31.1 which are not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meaning given to them in the Rules.
		

		
			31.1.2      The number of arbitrators shall be three, one of whom shall be nominated by the Claimant(s) between them, one by the Respondent(s) between them, and the third of whom, who shall act as presiding arbitrator of the tribunal, shall be nominated by the two party-nominated arbitrators, provided that if the third arbitrator has not been nominated within ** of the nomination of the second party nominated arbitrator, such third arbitrator shall be appointed by the LCIA.
		

		
			31.1.3      The seat of arbitration shall be London, England and the language of arbitration shall be English. Sections 45 and 69 of the Arbitration Act 1996 shall not apply.
		

		
			31.1.4      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.
		

		
			31.1.5      Each party agrees that the arbitration agreement set out in this Clause 31.1 and the arbitration agreement contained in each other Transaction Document (other than the Ancillary Agreements and all documents entered into pursuant to the Ancillary Agreements)  shall together be deemed to be a single arbitration agreement.
		

		
			31.1.6      Each 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 31.1 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 in Clause 31.1.2.
		

		
			31.1.7      An 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 31.1.7 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 31.1.7, 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 defense 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.
		

		
			31.1.8      To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, each party waives any objection, on the basis that a Dispute has been resolved in a manner contemplated by Clauses 31.1.6 to 31.1.7, to the validity and/or enforcement of any arbitral award.
		

		
			31.1.9      Each party agrees that any arbitration under this Clause 31.1 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.
		

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

		
			31.1.11    This agreement to arbitrate shall be binding upon the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
		

		
			31.2     Governing law and submission to jurisdiction
		

		
			31.2.1      This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by English law.
		

		
			31.2.2      Each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England to support and assist the arbitration process pursuant to Clause 31.1, including if necessary the grant of interlocutory relief pending the outcome of that process.
