NOW THIS DEED WITNESSETH AS FOLLOWS:

INTERPRETATION

Terms
defined in the Loan Agreement dated 14 May, 2003 (the "Loan Agreement") between the Lender and Open Joint Stock Company
Wimm-Bill-Dann Foods as Borrower (the "Borrower") shall have the same meaning when used in this Guarantee except as otherwise
stated and except that, for the purposes of this Guarantee: 

	(1)
	the
term "Guarantor" shall include any of the Borrower's Subsidiaries from time to time guaranteeing the obligations of the Borrower
under the Loan Agreement; and

	(2)
	the
term "Subsidiary", except as the context otherwise requires, shall be construed as a reference to the Subsidiary of the relevant
Guarantor and shall not be deemed to include any Guarantor. 

	 
	 
	 
	 
	 

	1.	GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY
	
1.1	
Guarantee and Indemnity
	

 	

Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally:
	

 	

(a)	

guarantees to the Lender the due and punctual performance by the Borrower of all the Borrower's obligations under the Loan Agreement;
	

 	

(b)	

undertakes with the Lender that whenever the Borrower does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with the Loan Agreement, that Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay or cause to be paid in full that amount as if it was the principal
obligor; and
	

 	

(c)	

indemnifies the Lender immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability suffered by the Lender if any obligation guaranteed by that Guarantor is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal including any and all reasonable expenses properly
documented, such as legal fees and expenses incurred by the Lender in enforcing any rights under the Loan Agreement or this Guarantee.
	
1.2	
Continuing guarantee
	

 	

This Guarantee is a continuing guarantee and extends to the total balance of sums payable by the Borrower under the Loan regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.
	
1.3	
Reinstatement
	

 	

If any payment by the Borrower is avoided or reduced or any discharge given by the Lender or the agreed funding source (whether in respect of the obligations of the Borrower or any security for those obligations or otherwise) as a result of any
insolvency, reorganization or similar event in respect of the Borrower:
	

 	

(a)	

the liability of each Guarantor shall continue as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred; and
	

 	

(b)	

the Lender shall be entitled to recover the full amount of such payment from each Guarantor, as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred.
	 	 	 	 	 

2

 

	
1.4	
Waiver of defences
	

 	

As between each Guarantor and the Lender, but without affecting the Borrower's obligations, each Guarantor will be liable as if it were the sole principal debtor and not merely a surety. Accordingly, such Guarantor will not be discharged nor will its
liability be affected, by anything which would not discharge it or affect its liability if it were the sole principal debtor, including:
	

 	

(a)	

any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, the Borrower or other person;
	

 	

(b)	

the release of the Borrower or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the Group;
	

 	

(c)	

the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, the Borrower or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any
formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;
	

 	

(d)	

any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of the Borrower or any other person;
	

 	

(e)	

any amendment (however fundamental) or replacement of the Loan Agreement or any other document or security;
	

 	

(f)	

any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under the Loan Agreement or any other document (including any other guarantee given in respect of the Loan) or security or the absence of any action to enforce the
same;
	

 	

(g)	

any insolvency or similar proceedings; or
	

 	

(h)	

any failure by any party to perform any requisite due diligence or to present any requisite document, claim, demand for payment, protest or notice with respect to the Loan Agreement.
	
1.5	
Immediate recourse
	

 	

Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Lender (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under
this Guarantee. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of the Loan Agreement to the contrary.
	
1.6	
Appropriations
	

 	

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement have been irrevocably paid in full, the Lender (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:
	

 	

(a)	

refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by the Lender (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether
against those amounts or otherwise) and no Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and
	

 	

(b)	

hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor's liability under this Guarantee.
	
1.7	
Deferral of Guarantors' rights
	

 	

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement have been irrevocably paid in full no Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of the performance by it of its
obligations under this Guarantee:
	

 	

(a)	

to be indemnified by the Borrower;
	

 	

(b)	

to claim any contribution from any other Guarantor of the Borrower's obligations under the Loan Agreement; and/or
	

 	

(c)	

to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Lender under the Loan Agreement or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Loan Agreement by the
Lender.
	 	 	 	 	 

3

 

	
1.8	
Additional security
	

 	

This Guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by the Lender, for the avoidance of doubt including any other guarantee (present or future) given in connection with the
Loan Agreement.
	
1.9	
Acceleration
	

 	

Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Lender, on the other hand, (i) for the purposes of this Guarantee, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed by this Guarantee may be accelerated as provided in Clauses
7 (Prepayments) and 15 (Events of Default) of the Loan Agreement, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in
respect of the obligations guaranteed thereby; provided, however, that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Loan was improperly accelerated pursuant to the terms thereof, then the maturity of such obligations may not be
accelerated for the purposes of this Guarantee, and (ii) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations (whether or not due and payable) such obligations shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for purposes of this
Guarantee.
	
1.10	

Termination and accession of Guarantors
	

 	

Provided that the Borrower complies with the requirements of Clause 14.13 of the Loan Agreement, this Guarantee can be terminated in relation to any Guarantor at any time by the Borrower and the relevant Guarantor without the consent of the
Lender (and, following the execution of any agreements entered into in connection with the agreed funding source, without the consent of the party designated by such agreements) provided that a notice of such intended termination is delivered to the
Lender (and, following the execution of the agreements entered into in connection with the agreed funding source, to the party designated by such agreements) not later than 15 days before such intended termination. Should the Borrower become
subject to the requirement to procure additional guarantees in accordance with Clause 14.13 of the Loan Agreement the Subsidiary or Subsidiaries selected by the Borrower to become new or additional Guarantors (each, an "New Guarantor") shall accede to this Guarantee by executing a deed of accession (the "Deed of Accession"), the form of which is attached hereto as the Schedule, with any
necessary modifications arising from any applicable laws or regulations of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the relevant Guarantor.

subsidiaries taken as a whole (a "Material Adverse Effect"); and the Guarantor and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business as a legal entity in all jurisdictions in which its ownership
or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

by such agreements), but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
	
3.3

No Guarantor will, or will permit any of its Subsidiaries to, consummate any Asset Sale, unless the proceeds received by that Guarantor or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, are at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets sold or disposed
of (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of that Guarantor or the relevant Subsidiary) and an amount equal to such proceeds (less any costs plus reasonable expenses incurred in relation to such Asset Sale) is either (a) applied

Affiliate of such Person) or with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the relevant Guarantor, unless any such Transaction or series of related Transactions is made upon fair and reasonable terms no less favourable to that Guarantor or such
Subsidiary, as the case may be, than could be obtained, at the time of such Transaction or, if such Transaction is pursuant to a written agreement, at the time of the execution of the agreement providing therefor, in a comparable arms'-length
transaction with, or for the benefit of, a Person that is not a Related Person of the relevant Guarantor (or any Affiliate of such Person) or an Affiliate of the relevant Guarantor.
	

 	

 	

No such Transaction shall be consummated unless, in the case of a Transaction or series of related transactions involving aggregate consideration equal to or in excess of (i) U.S.$1 million, the relevant Guarantor or such Subsidiary, as the
case may be, obtains the approval of its Board of Directors and (ii) U.S.$25 million, the relevant Guarantor or such Subsidiary shall in addition have received (and shall have delivered a copy to the Lender (and, following the execution of
any other agreements entered into in connection with the agreed funding source, to the party designated by such agreements)) a written opinion of an internationally or nationally recognised investment banking firm addressed to, and stating that the
Transaction or series of related Transactions is fair from a financial point of view to, the relevant Guarantor or such Subsidiary.
	

 	

(b)	

The limitation does in sub-Clause 3.4(a) above shall not limit, and shall not apply to any Transaction or series of related Transactions solely between the relevant Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or the Borrower and any of the Subsidiaries
of the Borrower or solely between Subsidiaries of the relevant Guarantor.

3.5	
Merger and Similar Transactions
	

 	

(a)	

Subject to sub-Clause 3.5(b) below, no Guarantor shall merge with or into or enter into a transaction whose effect would be similar to that of a merger (including, but not limited to, by way of an acquisition through a share-for-share exchange
or contribution of assets) or sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property and assets (each a "merger") to, any Person or permit any Person to merge with
or into that Guarantor:
	

 	

 	

(i)	

if such merger would result in a Rating Decline;
	

 	

 	

(ii)	

unless the Guarantor shall be the continuing Person, or the Person (if other than the Guarantor) into which such Guarantor is merged or that acquired or leased such property and assets of the relevant Guarantor (the "Surviving
Entity") shall be a company organised and validly existing under the laws of the Russian Federation, a member of the European Union (as the European Union is constituted on the date hereof), Switzerland or a State of the
United States of America or the District of Columbia, and shall expressly assume, by amendment hereto, executed and delivered by such continuing Person to the Lender (and, following the execution of any other agreements entered into in connection
with the agreed funding source, to the party designated by such agreements), in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender (and, following the execution of any other agreements entered into in connection with the agreed funding source, to the
party designated by such agreements), the due and punctual payment of amounts due on this Guarantee, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all the covenants, conditions and other obligations of the Guarantor in respect of this
Guarantee;
	

 	

 	

(iii)	

unless, in the case of a sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposal of all or substantially all of the Guarantor's property and assets, such property and assets shall have been transferred as an entirety or substantially an entirety in one
transaction or a series of related transactions to one Person;
	

 	

 	

(iv)	

unless immediately before and after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes, or is anticipated to become, an obligation of the Surviving Entity as a result of such
transaction or series of transactions as having been incurred by the Surviving Entity at the time of such transaction or series of transactions), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
	

 	

 	

(v)	

unless immediately before and after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes, or is anticipated to become, an obligation of the Surviving Entity as a result of such
transaction or series of transactions as having been incurred by the Surviving Entity at the time of such transaction or series of transactions) the Borrower, any Guarantor, or any Person becoming the successor obligor of the Loan or this Guarantee,
as the case may be, would be able to incur an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to Clause 14.10 (Financial Covenant) of the Loan Agreement;
	

 	

 	

(vi)	

unless the Guarantor delivers to the Lender an opinion of counsel or tax adviser in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Lender (and, following the execution of any other agreements entered into in connection with the agreed funding source,
 to the party designated by such agreements), to the effect that neither the Lender nor any agreed funding source will recognise any income, gain or loss for Tax purposes from any such merger of the Guarantor and that the Lender and any agreed
funding source would, after such merger, be subject to Taxes in the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such merger had not occurred; and
	

 	

 	

(vii)	

unless the Guarantor delivers to the Lender an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Lender, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender (and, following the execution of any supplemental agreements entered into in connection with the
agreed funding source, to the party designated by such agreements), stating that such merger or transfer and such supplemental agreement comply with this provision, that all legal conditions precedent provided for herein relating to such transaction
have been complied with and that this Agreement and the Loan constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the continuing Person, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject, in the case of the opinion of counsel, to customary exceptions,
 qualifications and limitations.

the Guarantors and any of the Subsidiaries. The restrictions in sub-Clauses 3.5(a)(vi) and (vii) above shall not apply to any mergers between any of the Guarantors or any of the Subsidiaries or between two or more of the Guarantors or

each Guarantor shall, and it shall procure that each of its Subsidiaries that are also Significant Subsidiaries shall, take all necessary action to obtain and do or cause to be done all things necessary, in the opinion of such Guarantor or the
relevant Subsidiary, to ensure the continuance of its corporate existence, its business and intellectual property related to its business; and
	

 	

 	

(ii)	

each Guarantor shall, and it shall procure that its Subsidiaries that are also Significant Subsidiaries shall, make or cause to be made all registrations, recordings and filings and shall obtain and maintain all consents, licences, approvals and
authorisations, which may at any time be required to be obtained or made in Russia or any other relevant jurisdiction for the purposes of the execution, delivery or performance of this Guarantee and for the validity and enforceability
thereof;
	

 	

provided that if the Guarantor or any such Significant Subsidiary can remedy any failure to comply with the above within 60 days of such failure, this covenant shall be deemed not to have been breached.
	
3.7	
Maintenance of Property
	

 	

So long as any amount remains outstanding hereunder, each Guarantor and its Subsidiaries that are also Significant Subsidiaries will cause all property used in the conduct of its or their business to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair
and working order and supplied with all necessary equipments and shall cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements and improvements thereof, all as, in the judgments of that Guarantor or such Significant Subsidiary, may be
reasonably necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times.
	
3.8	
Payment of Taxes
	

 	

Each Guarantor shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay or discharge, before the same shall become overdue all Taxes, assessments and governmental levies, except (i) as contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and for
which adequate reserves in accordance with appropriate accounting provisions have been made or (ii) the amount of which, together with all such other unpaid and undischarged Taxes, assessments and governmental levies does not in aggregate exceed

11

 

	
3.9	
Financial Covenant
	

 	

No Guarantor shall, or shall permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Indebtedness, other than:
	

 	

 	

(i)	

the Loan;
	

 	

 	

(ii)	

any Indebtedness in circumstances where: (1) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time or would occur as a consequence of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, and (2) after giving effect to the incurrence of such
Indebtedness on a pro forma basis and the receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom, immediately after such incurrence the ratio of the consolidated Indebtedness of the Group to Consolidated EBITDA is 4:1 or lower; and
	

 	

 	

(iii)	

in addition, any Indebtedness incurred by such Guarantor or Subsidiary, other than any Indebtedness owed to any Affiliate of the Borrower or an Affiliate of any Guarantor, which, when aggregated with all the other Indebtedness of the Group, would not
exceed U.S. $100 million.
	
3.10	
No Limitation on Dividend or Other Payments Affecting Subsidiaries
	

 	

(a)	

Subject to sub-clause 3.9(b) below, no Guarantor shall or shall cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of
itself or any Subsidiary to:
	

 	

 	

(i)	

pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock to the Borrower or such Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Borrower or such Guarantor or any such Subsidiary;
	

 	

 	

(ii)	

make loans or advances to, or guarantee any Indebtedness or other obligations of the Borrower or such Guarantor; or
	

 	

 	

(iii)	

transfer any of its property or assets to the Borrower or such Guarantor or any of the Borrower's or such Guarantor's Subsidiaries.
	

 	

(b)	

The provisions of sub-Clause 3.9(a) above shall not restrict any encumbrance or restriction:
	

 	

 	

(i)	

arising solely by operation of law;
	

 	

 	

(ii)	

existing under an agreement in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that the terms, conditions and scope of any such encumbrance or restriction included in any such agreement may be amended only if:
	

 	

 	

 	

(1)	

such amended encumbrance or restriction, when taken together with all the other encumbrances and restrictions in such agreement (as amended), will not be materially more restrictive or disadvantageous (A) to the agreed funding source or the
Guarantor than the encumbrance or restriction being amended or (B) to the Guarantor than is customary in comparable transactions (in each case, as determined by the Guarantor); and
	

 	

 	

 	

(2)	

the amended terms, conditions and scope of any such amended encumbrance or restriction, when taken together with the terms, conditions and scope of all the other encumbrances and restrictions in such agreement (as amended), will not materially
adversely affect the Guarantor's ability to make payments on this Guarantee (as determined by the Guarantor); or
	

 	

 	

(iii)	

contained in the terms of any Indebtedness incurred in compliance with Clause 14.10 (Financial Covenant) of the Loan Agreement or in any agreement pursuant to which such Indebtedness was issued,
if:
	

 	

 	

 	

(1)	

the encumbrances and restrictions in any such agreement, when taken as a whole, will not be materially more restrictive or disadvantageous to the Guarantor than is customary in comparable transactions (as determined by the Guarantor); and
	

 	

 	

 	

(2)	

the terms, conditions and scope of any such encumbrances and restrictions in any such agreement, when taken as a whole, will not materially adversely affect the Guarantor's ability to make payments on this Guarantee(as determined by the
Guarantor).
	 	 	 	 	 

12

 

	
3.11	
Insurance
	

 	

Each of the Guarantors will obtain and maintain insurance with an insurer or insurers of sufficient standing against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which they are engaged in the
jurisdiction where they operate, respectively, at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect; provided that the relevant Guarantor can remedy any failure to comply with the above within 30 days, this covenant shall be deemed not to
have been breached.
	
3.12	
Financial Information
	

 	

Each Guarantor will, at its own expense, so long the Loan remains outstanding, furnish to the Lender, copies of all reports and other communications (financial or other) furnished to stockholders of the Guarantor and furnish to the Lender,
(i) as promptly as practicable, copies of any reports and financial statements furnished to or filed with any securities exchange (other than any securities exchange in Russia) on which any class of securities of the Guarantor is listed, if any;
and (ii) such additional publicly available information concerning the business and financial condition of the Guarantor as the Lender may from time to time reasonably request. In addition, each Guarantor shall furnish to the Lender, such
information as the London Stock Exchange plc (or any other or further stock exchange or stock exchanges or any other relevant authority or authorities on which the instruments issued to the agreed funding source may, from time to time, be listed or
admitted to trading) may require in connection with the listing or admittance to trading on such stock exchange or relevant authority of instruments issued to the agreed funding source.
	

 	

If so requested by the Lender, the Guarantor shall deliver to the Lender (and, following the execution of any other agreements entered into in connection with the agreed funding source, to the party designated by such agreements), within 14 days
of such request, an Officers' Certificate stating that to the best of each of the Officers' knowledge (i) the Guarantor has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant, and complied with the covenants and conditions contained
in this Agreement and (ii) the Guarantor is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events
of Default of which he may have knowledge).
	 	 	 	 	 

13

 

	
4.	
TAXATION
	
4.1	
Additional Amounts
	

 	

(a)	

Subject to Clause 4.1(b), all payments made by each Guarantor under or with respect to this Guarantee will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost,
assessment, or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) (collectively, "Taxes") imposed or levied by or on behalf of any government or political
subdivision or territory or possession of any government or authority or Agency therein or thereof having the power to tax (each, a "Taxing Authority") within the jurisdiction in which the relevant
Guarantor is resident for tax purposes or Luxembourg (or any Qualifying Jurisdiction in which the Lender or any successor thereto is resident for tax purposes), unless the relevant Guarantor is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the
interpretation or administration thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, this Clause 4.1 shall not apply to any Taxes on income payable by the Lender.
	

 	

(b)	

If at any time a Guarantor is required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Authority within the jurisdiction in which the relevant Guarantor is resident for tax purposes or
Luxembourg (or any Qualifying Jurisdiction in which the Lender or any successor thereto is resident for tax purposes) from any payment made under or with respect to the Guarantee, that Guarantor, failing which the other Guarantors, shall, on the due
date for such payment, pay such additional amounts ("Additional Amounts") as may be necessary so that the net amount received by the Lender (including Additional Amounts) in U.S. dollars after such
withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount the Lender would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted and free from liability in respect of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that for the avoidance of
doubt, such Additional Amounts shall not be payable with respect to any Taxes on income payable by the Lender.
	

 	

(c)	

Each Guarantor will also:
	

 	

 	

(i)	

make such withholding or deduction; and
	

 	

 	

(ii)	

remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law.
	

 	

(d)	

If the Lender pays any amount in respect of such Taxes, in respect of which Additional Amounts are payable (without prejudice to, and duplication of, the provisions of Clause 4.3 (Tax Indemnity)),
each relevant Guarantor shall reimburse the Lender in U.S. dollars for such payment on demand.
	

 	

(e)	

Whenever this Guarantee mentions, in any context, the payment of amounts based upon the principal or premium, if any, interest or of any other amount payable under or with respect to the Loan or the Guarantee, this includes, without duplication,
payment of any Additional Amounts and Tax Indemnity Amounts that may be applicable.
	

 	

The foregoing provisions shall apply, modified as necessary, to any Taxes imposed or levied by any Taxing Authority in any jurisdiction in which any Guarantor or any successor of the Borrower or of any Guarantor is organised.
	
4.2	
Payments
	

 	

The Lender shall assist each Guarantor in ensuring that all payments made under this Guarantee are exempt from deduction or withholding of Tax.
	 	 	 	 	 

14

 

	
4.3	
Tax Indemnity
	

 	

Without prejudice to, and without duplication of, the provisions of Clause 4.1 (Additional Amounts),
	

 	

(a)	

if at any time the Lender makes or is required to make any payment to a Person (other than to or for the account of the agreed funding source) on account of Tax (other than Taxes on income payable by the Lender) in respect of this Guarantee or in
respect of any instruments issued to, or documents entered into with, the agreed funding source imposed by any Taxing Authority of or in Russia, Luxembourg or any Qualifying Jurisdiction in which the Lender or any successor thereto is resident for
tax purposes, or any liability in respect of any such payment is asserted, imposed, levied or assessed against the Lender, each Guarantor shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following, and in any event within 30 calendar days of, written demand
made by the Lender, indemnify the Lender against such payment or liability, together with any interest, penalties, costs and expenses payable or Incurred in connection therewith; and
	

 	

(b)	

if at any time a Taxing Authority imposes an obligation on the Lender to withhold or deduct any amount on any payment made or to be made by the Lender to or for the account of the agreed funding source and the Lender is required by any instruments
issued to, or documents entered into with, the agreed funding source, to pay additional amounts to such agreed funding source in connection therewith, each Guarantor shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following, and in any event within 30
calendar days of, written demand made by the Lender, pay to the Lender such additional amounts as may be necessary so that the net amount received by the agreed funding source (including such additional amounts) in U.S. dollars after such withholding
or deduction will not be less than the amount such agreed funding source would have received if such withholdings or deductions had not been made and free from liability in respect of such withholding or deduction.
	

 	

Any payments required to be made by any Guarantor under this Clause 4.3 are collectively referred to as "Tax Indemnity Amounts". For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Clause 4.3
shall not apply to any withholding or deductions of Taxes with respect to this Guarantee which are subject to payment of Additional Amounts under Clause 4.1 (Additional Amounts).
	
4.4	
Tax Claims
	

 	

If the Lender intends to make a claim for any Tax Indemnity Amounts pursuant to Clause 4.3 (Tax Indemnity), it shall notify each relevant Guarantor thereof; provided that nothing herein shall
require the Lender to disclose any confidential information relating to the organization of its affairs.
	 	 	 	 	 

15

 

	
4.5	
Tax Credits and Tax Refunds
	

 	

(a)	

If any Additional Amounts are paid under Clause 4.1 (Additional Amounts) or Tax Indemnity Amounts are paid under Clause 4.3 (Tax Indemnity) by any
Guarantor for the benefit of the Lender and the Lender, in its reasonable opinion, determines that it has received or been granted a credit against, a relief or remission for, or a repayment of, any Tax, then, if and to the extent that the Lender, in
its reasonable opinion, determines that such credit, relief, remission or repayment is in respect of or calculated with reference to the deduction or withholding giving rise to such Additional Amounts or, in the case of Tax Indemnity Amounts, with
reference to the liability, expense or loss to which the payment giving rise to such Tax Indemnity Amounts relates, the Lender shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit, relief, remission
or repayment, pay to each relevant Guarantor such amount as the Lender shall, in its reasonable opinion, have concluded to be attributable to such deduction or withholding or, as the case may be, such liability, expense or loss; provided that the
Lender shall not be obliged to make any payment under this Clause 4.5 in respect of such credit, relief, remission or repayment until the Lender is, in its reasonable opinion, satisfied that its tax affairs for its tax year in respect of which
such credit, relief, remission or repayment was obtained have been finally settled. Any such payment shall, in the absence of manifest error and subject to the Lender specifying in writing in reasonable detail the calculation of such credit, relief,
remission or prepayment and of such payment and providing relevant supporting documents evidencing such matters, be conclusive evidence of the amount due to each relevant Guarantor hereunder and shall be accepted by each relevant Guarantor in full
and final settlement of its rights of reimbursement hereunder in respect of such deduction or withholding. Nothing contained in this Clause 4.5 shall interfere with the right of the Lender to arrange its tax affairs generally in whatever manner
it thinks fit nor oblige the Lender to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs generally or any computations in respect thereof.
	

 	

(b)	

If as a result of a failure to obtain relief from deduction or withholding of any Tax imposed by the jurisdiction in which the relevant Guarantor is resident for tax purposes or Luxembourg (or any Qualified Jurisdiction in which the Lender or any
successor thereto is resident for tax purposes) (i) such Tax is deducted or withheld by any Guarantor and pursuant to Clause 4.1 (Additional Amounts) an increased amount is paid by any relevant
Guarantor to the Lender in respect of such deduction or withholding, and (ii) following the deduction or withholding of Tax as referred to above, (A) the relevant Guarantor applies on behalf of the Lender to the relevant Taxing Authorities
for a tax refund and such tax refund is credited by the relevant Taxing Authorities to the Lender or (B) if such tax refund is otherwise credited by a relevant Taxing Authority to the Lender pursuant to a final decision of such Taxing Authority,
the Lender shall as soon as reasonably possible notify such relevant Guarantor of the receipt of such tax refund and promptly transfer the entire amount of the tax refund to a bank account of each relevant Guarantor specified for that purpose by each
relevant Guarantor.
	
4.6	
Representations of the Lender
	

 	

The Lender represents that (a) it is a bank which at the date hereof is a resident of Luxembourg, is subject to taxation in Luxembourg on the basis of its registration as a legal entity, location of its management body or another similar
criterion and it is not subject to taxation in Luxembourg merely on income from sources in Luxembourg or connected with property located in Luxembourg; (b) it will account for the Loan on the date of closing on its balance sheet as an asset
under "loans and advances to customers" and any arrangements with the agreed funding source as a liability under "liabilities evidenced by paper" and (c) at the date hereof, it does not have a permanent establishment in Russia.
	

 	

The Lender shall make reasonable and timely efforts to assist each relevant Guarantor to obtain relief from the withholding of income tax in any jurisdiction in which the relevant Guarantor is resident for tax purposes, pursuant to the double
taxation treaty between the jurisdiction in which the relevant Guarantor is resident for tax purposes and the jurisdiction in which the Lender is incorporated, including its obligations under Clause 4.8 (Delivery of
Forms). The Lender makes no representation as to the application or interpretation of any double taxation treaty between the jurisdiction in which the relevant Guarantor is resident for tax purposes and the jurisdiction in
which the Lender is incorporated.

16

  

	 
	 
	 
	 
	 

	4.7	Exceptions
	

 	

The Lender agrees promptly, upon becoming aware of such, to notify each Guarantor if it ceases to be resident in Luxembourg or a Qualifying Jurisdiction or if any of the representations set forth in Clause 4.6 (Representations of the Lender) are no longer true and correct. If the Lender ceases to be resident in Luxembourg or a Qualifying Jurisdiction, then, except in circumstances where the Lender has ceased to be resident
in Luxembourg or a Qualifying Jurisdiction by reason of any Change of Law (including a change in a double taxation treaty or in such law or treaty's application or interpretation), in each case taking effect after the date of this Guarantee, no
Guarantor shall be liable to pay to the Lender under Clause 4.1 (Additional Amounts) or Clause 4.3 (Tax Indemnity) any sum in excess of the sum it
would have been obliged to pay if the Lender had not ceased to be resident in Luxembourg or a Qualifying Jurisdiction.
	
4.8	
Delivery of Forms
	

 	

The Lender shall within 30 calendar days of the request of any Guarantor, to the extent it is able to do so under applicable law including the laws of the jurisdiction in which the relevant Guarantor is resident for tax purposes, deliver to that
Guarantor a certificate issued by the competent Taxing Authority in Luxembourg (or any Qualifying Jurisdiction in which the Lender or any successor thereto is resident for tax purposes) confirming that the Lender is a tax resident in Luxembourg (or
any Qualifying Jurisdiction in which the Lender or any successor thereto is resident for tax purposes) and such other information or forms as the relevant Guarantor may need to be duly completed and delivered by the Lender to enable that Guarantor to
apply to obtain relief from deduction or withholding of the relevant Tax after the date of this Guarantee or, as the case may be, to apply to obtain a tax refund if a relief from deduction or withholding of the relevant Tax has not been obtained. The
Lender shall, within 30 calendar days of the request of any Guarantor, to the extent it is able to do so under applicable laws, including the laws of the jurisdiction in which the relevant Guarantor is resident for tax purposes, from time to time
deliver to that Guarantor any additional duly completed application forms as need to be duly completed and delivered by the Lender to enable that Guarantor to apply to obtain relief from deduction or withholding of the relevant Tax or, as the case
may be, to apply to obtain a tax refund if a relief from deduction or withholding of the relevant Tax has not been obtained. The certificate and, if required, other forms referred to in this Clause 4.8 shall be duly signed by the Lender, if
applicable, and stamped or otherwise approved by the competent Taxing Authority in Luxembourg (or any Qualifying Jurisdiction in which the Lender or any successor thereto is resident for tax purposes) and apostilled or otherwise legalised. If a
relief from deduction or withholding of the relevant Tax under this Clause 8.8 has not been obtained and further to an application of that Guarantor to the relevant Taxing Authorities the latter requests the Lender's rouble bank account details,
the Lender shall at the request of that Guarantor (x) use reasonable efforts to procure that such rouble bank account of the Lender is duly opened and maintained, and (y) thereafter furnish that Guarantor with the details of such rouble
bank account. The relevant Guarantor shall pay for all costs associated, if any, with opening and maintaining such rouble bank account.
	
4.9	
Notification of Requirement to Deduct Tax
	

 	

If, at any time, a Guarantor is required by law to make any deduction or withholding from any sum payable by it hereunder, or if thereafter there is any change in the rates at which or the manner in which such deductions or withholdings are
calculated, that Guarantor shall promptly notify the Lender.
	
4.10	
Evidence of Payment of Tax
	

 	

Each relevant Guarantor will make all reasonable endeavours to obtain certified copies, and translations into English, of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Taxing Authority imposing such Taxes. That
Guarantor will furnish to the Lender (and, following the execution of any other agreements entered into in connection with the agreed funding source, to the party designated by such agreements), within 60 calendar days after the date the payment of
any Taxes so deducted or withheld is due pursuant to applicable law, either certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by that Guarantor or, if such receipts are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by that
Guarantor.

5.	
CURRENCY OF ACCOUNT AND PAYMENT

Currency of Account
	

 	

The U.S. dollar is the currency of account and payment for each and every sum at any time due from each Guarantor hereunder.
	
5.2	
Currency Indemnity
	

 	

If any sum due from any Guarantor under this Guarantee or any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto has to be converted from the currency (the "first currency") in which the same is payable
hereunder or under such order or judgment into another currency (the "second currency") for the purpose of (a) making or filing a claim or proof against such Guarantor, (b) obtaining an order
or judgment in any court or other tribunal or (c) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto, the relevant Guarantor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Lender from and against any loss suffered or reasonably incurred as
a result of any discrepancy between (i) the rate of exchange used for such purpose to convert the sum in question from the first currency into the second currency and (ii) the rate or rates of exchange at which the Lender may in the
ordinary course of business purchase the first currency with the second currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof.

No Guarantor shall be entitled to assign or transfer all or any of its rights, benefits and obligations hereunder.
	
6.2	
Assignments by the Lender
	

 	

(a)	

Prior to an Event of Default, the Lender may (i) on or at any time after the date hereof assign all or any of its rights and benefits hereunder or transfer all or any of its rights, benefits and obligations hereunder (save for (x) its
rights to principal, interest and other amounts paid and payable under this Guarantee and (y) its right to receive amounts paid and payable under any claim, award or judgment relating to this Guarantee in favour of the agreed funding source) to
or on behalf of the agreed funding source and (ii) subject to the prior written consent of the Guarantors (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and except as may be otherwise specifically provided under the agreements entered
into in connection with the agreed funding source, assign all or any of its rights and benefits hereunder or transfer all or any of its rights, benefits and obligations hereunder to any company which, as a result of any amalgamation, merger or
reconstruction or which, as a result of any agreement with the Lender, or any previous substitute, owns beneficially the whole or substantially the whole of the undertaking, property and assets owned by the Lender prior to such amalgamation, merger,
reconstruction or agreement coming into force and where, in the case of any company which will own the whole or substantially the whole of the undertaking, property or assets of the Lender, the substitution of that company as principal debtor in
relation to the agreed funding source would not be materially prejudicial to the interests of the agreed funding source or the Guarantors. Any reference in this Guarantee to any such assignee or transferee pursuant to subclause (ii) of this
Clause 6.2(a) shall be construed accordingly and, in particular, references to the rights, benefits and obligations hereunder of the Lender, following such assignment or transfer, shall be references to such rights, benefits or obligations by
