expectation that such Paying and Conversion 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 and Conversion 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 in the place of payment. No commissions or expenses shall be charged to the Noteholders in respect of such payments.

If the due date for payment of any amount in respect of any Note is not a Payment Business Day in the place of presentation, the Holder shall not be entitled to payment in such place of the amount due until the next succeeding Payment Business Day in such place and shall not be entitled to any further interest or other payment in respect of any such delay.

If the Paying and Conversion Agent makes a partial payment in respect of any Note, the Issuer shall procure that the amount and date of such payment are noted in the Register and, in the case of partial payment upon presentation of a Note Certificate, that a statement indicating the amount and date of such payment is endorsed on the relevant Note Certificate presented to it for payment, such Paying and Conversion Agent will endorse thereon a statement indicating the amount and date of such payment.

The Notes shall be redeemable at the option of the Issuer as provided in Article 10 hereof.

(THE “ISSUER”) THAT (A) THE COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY MAY NOT BE RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED (I) PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE HOLDING PERIOD UNDER RULE 144(k) (OR ANY SUCCESSOR THERETO) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT WHICH IS APPLICABLE TO THIS NOTE OR (II) BY ANY HOLDER THAT WAS AN “AFFILIATE” (WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) OF THE ISSUER AT ANY TIME DURING THE THREE MONTHS PRECEDING THE DATE OF SUCH TRANSFER, IN EITHER CASE, OTHER THAN (1) TO THE ISSUER, (2) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE), OR (3) PURSUANT
TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH OF CASES (1) THROUGH (3) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, (B) THE HOLDER WILL NOT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ENGAGE IN ANY HEDGING TRANSACTION WITH REGARD TO THE COMMON STOCK EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND (C) THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF THE COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY FROM IT OF THE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO IN (A) AND (B) ABOVE.

	
             
  	
            (d)
 	
            Removal of the Restricted Securities Legends
 

Each Note or Share issued upon conversion of such Note shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend set forth in Section 2.3(b) or 2.3(c) hereof, as the case may be, until the earlier of:

	
             
  	
            (i)
 	
            two years after the original issuance date of such Note;
 

	
             
  	
            (ii)
 	
            such Note or Share has been sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to be effective at the time of such sale); or
 

	
             
  	
            (iii)
 	
            such Share has been issued upon conversion of Notes that have been sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to be effective at the time of such sale).
 

The Holder must give notice thereof to the Trustee and any transfer agent for the Shares, as applicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restricted Securities Legend may be removed if there is delivered to the Issuer such satisfactory evidence, which may include an opinion of independent counsel, as may be reasonably required by the Issuer that neither such legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers of such Note will not violate the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Issuer, shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such Notes another Note or Notes having an equal aggregate principal amount that does not bear such legend. If the Restricted Securities Legend has been removed from a Note as provided above, no other Note issued in exchange for all or any part of such Note shall bear such legend, unless the Issuer has reasonable
cause to believe that such other Note is a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144 and instructs the Trustee in writing to cause a Restricted Securities Legend to appear thereon.

Any Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution thereof) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or as to which the conditions for removal of the Restricted Securities Legend set forth in Section 2.3(b) hereof as set forth therein have been satisfied may, upon surrender of such Note for exchange to the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7 hereof, be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the Restricted Securities Legend required by Section 2.3(b) hereof.

Any such Shares as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or as to which the conditions for removal of the Restricted Securities Legend set forth in Section 2.3(c) hereof as set forth therein have been satisfied may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such Shares for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Shares, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like aggregate number of Shares, which shall not bear the Restricted Securities Legend required by Section 2.3(c) hereof.

            Global Note Legend
 

Each Global Note held by the Common Depositary shall also bear the following legend on the face thereof:

UNLESS THIS NOTE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COMMON DEPOSITARY TO BMB MUNAI, INC. (OR ITS SUCCESSOR) OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE, OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE COMMON DEPOSITARY OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COMMON DEPOSITARY (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO THE COMMON DEPOSITARY OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COMMON DEPOSITARY), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, THE COMMON DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE, HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

	
            2.4
 	
            Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating
 

One Officer shall execute the Notes on behalf of the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Note is authenticated, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Notes executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with such Issuer Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise.

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by or on behalf of the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent or agents reasonably acceptable to the Issuer with respect to the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.

	
            2.5
 	
            Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying and Conversion Agent
 

The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), an office or agency where Notes may transferred or exchanged (the “Transfer Agent”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment and conversion (the “Paying and Conversion Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (the “Register”) and of their transfer and exchange. The Register shall at all times be maintained outside of the United Kingdom. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional Paying and Conversion Agents and/or Transfer Agents for the Notes;
provided, however, that the Issuer shall at no time maintain a Registrar or Transfer Agent with a Specified Office within the United Kingdom; provided, further, that the Issuer will ensure that it maintains a Paying and Conversion Agent in a member state of the European Union that will not be obliged to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48.EC or any other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26-27 November 2000. The term “Paying and Conversion Agent” includes any additional Paying and Conversion Agent, the term “Transfer Agent” includes any additional Transfer Agent and the term “Registrar” includes any additional Registrar. Notice of any change in any of the Agents or in their respective Specified Offices shall promptly be given to the Noteholders.

The Issuer will cause each Paying and Conversion Agent (other than the Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying and Conversion Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.5, that such Paying and Conversion Agent will:

	
             
  	
            (a)
 	
            hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on Notes in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee;
 

	
             
  	
            (b)
 	
            give the Trustee notice of any Default by the Issuer in the making of any payment of principal or interest (including Additional Interest, if any); and
 

	
             
  	
            (c)
 	
            at any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying and Conversion Agent.
 

The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent who is not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar, Transfer Agent or Paying and Conversion Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer may act as Paying and Conversion Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar; provided, however, that none of the Issuer, its Subsidiaries or the Affiliates of the foregoing shall act:

	
             
  	
            (i)
 	
            as Paying and Conversion Agent in connection with redemptions, offers to purchase and discharges, as otherwise specified in this Indenture, and
 

	
             
  	
            (ii)
 	
            as Paying and Conversion Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

            2.6
 	
            Paying and Conversion Agent to Hold Assets in Trust
 

Not later than 10:00 a.m. (London time) on the date that is one London Business Day prior to each due date of the principal and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on any Notes, the Issuer shall deposit with one or more Paying and Conversion Agents money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such principal and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) so becoming due. The Issuer at any time may require the Paying and Conversion Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying and Conversion Agent (if other than the Issuer) shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee. 

If the Issuer shall act as the Paying and Conversion Agent, it shall, prior to or on each due date of the principal of or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on any of the Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders a sum sufficient with monies held by all other Paying and Conversion Agents, to pay the principal or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture, and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure to act.

Neither the Trustee nor the Paying and Conversion Agent shall be under any liability for interest on any money received by any of them hereunder, except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Issuer.

	
            2.7
 	
            General Provisions Relating to Transfer and Exchange
 

The Notes are issuable only in registered form. A Holder may transfer a Note only by written application to the Registrar (or to the Transfer Agent to be forwarded to the Registrar) stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this Indenture. No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register. 

If any Holder of a Physical Note proposes to exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to transfer such Physical Note to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note, then the Trustee shall cancel the Physical Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note.

Furthermore, any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Note shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry. 

When Notes are presented to the Registrar or the Transfer Agent with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall, within five New York Business Days of the receipt thereof, register the transfer or make the exchange as requested and deliver any replacement Notes to each relevant Holder at its Specified Office or (as the case may be) the Specified Office of the Transfer Agent or (at the request and risk of any such relevant Holder) by uninsured first class mail (airmail if overseas) to the address specified for the purpose by such relevant Holder; provided, that the Registrar’s requirements for such

transactions are met (including (i) that such Notes are duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the Holder thereof or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Holder and (ii) such evidence as the Registrar may reasonably require to prove the title of the transferor and the authority of the individuals referred to in clause (i)). Subject to Section 2.4 hereof, to permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of the Notes, but the Registrar or the Transfer Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or
other similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof). 

Neither the Issuer nor the Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Notes:

	
             
  	
            (a)
 	
            surrendered for conversion or redemption or, if a portion of any Note is surrendered for conversion or redemption, such portion thereof surrendered for conversion or redemption or

            be registered in the name of the Common Depositary;
 

	
             
  	
            (ii)
 	
            be delivered to the Common Depositary; and
 

	
             
  	
            (iii)
 	
            bear the Restricted Securities Legend as set forth in Section 2.3(b) hereof.
 

Members of, or participants in, Euroclear and Clearstream (“Participants”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Common Depositary, or under such Global Note, and Euroclear and/or Clearstream, as applicable, or their respective nominees may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note(s) for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by Euroclear or Clearstream or impair, as between Euroclear or Clearstream and the Participants, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of
the rights of a Holder of any Note.

	
             
  	
            (b)
 	
            The registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Participants and Persons that may hold interests through Participants, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.
 

	
             
  	
            (c)
 	
            A Global Note may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than nominees of Euroclear and Clearstream and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered. Beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream and the provisions of Section 2.9 hereof.

            (i)
 	
            Euroclear and/or Clearstream notifies the Issuer in writing that it is no longer willing or able to continue to act as depositary for the Global Notes and a successor is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice or cessation; or
 

	
             
  	
            (ii)
 	
            an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from Euroclear and/or Clearstream for the issuance of Physical Notes in exchange for such Global Note or Global Notes,
 

Euroclear and/or Clearstream, as applicable, shall surrender such Global Note or Global Notes to the Trustee for cancellation and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate and Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such Global Note or Global Notes, Physical Notes of like tenor as that of the Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Note or Global Notes. Such Physical Notes shall be registered in such names as Euroclear and/or Clearstream shall identify in writing as the beneficial owners of the Notes represented by such Global Note or Global Notes (or any nominees thereof).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any transfer of beneficial interests in a Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 2.8(c) hereof, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in such Global Note to be transferred.

	
            2.9
 	
            Special Transfer Provisions
 

Unless a Note is transferred after the time period referred to in Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or otherwise is, or has been, sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to be, or was, effective at the time of such sale), the following provisions shall apply:

	
             
  	
            (a)
 	
            if the Notes to be transferred consist of an interest in the Global Notes, the transfer of such interest may be effected only through the book-entry system maintained by Euroclear and/or Clearstream and pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and related Prospectus; and
 

	
             
  	
            (b)
 	
            if the Notes to be transferred consist of Physical Notes, the Registrar shall register the transfer if such transfer is being made by a proposed transferor who has provided to the Issuer and the Registrar the certification provided for on the form of Note stating, or has otherwise advised the Issuer and the Registrar in writing that:
 

	
             
  	
            (i)
 	
            the transfer is being effected pursuant to and in accordance with Rules 904 and 905 under the Securities Act;
 

	
             
  	
            (ii)
 	
            the transfer is not being made to a person in the United States and (1) at the time the buy order was originated, the transferee was outside the United States or such transferor and any Person acting on its behalf reasonably believed and believes that the transferee was outside the United States or (2) the transaction was executed in, on or through the facilities of a designated offshore securities market and neither such transferor nor any Person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction was prearranged with a buyer in the United States;

            (iv)
 	
            the transaction is not part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration requirements of the Securities Act; and
 

	
             
  	
            (v)
 	
            if the proposed transfer is being made prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, the transfer is not being made to a U.S. Person.
 

By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Restricted Securities Legend, each Holder of such a Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture. The Registrar shall not register a transfer of any Note unless such transfer complies with the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture. The Registrar shall be entitled to receive and rely on written instructions from the Issuer verifying that such transfer complies with such restrictions on transfer. In connection with any transfer of Notes, each Holder agrees by its acceptance of the Notes to furnish the Registrar or the Issuer such certifications, legal opinions or other information as either of them may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or a
transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided, however, that the Registrar shall not be required to determine (but may rely on a determination made by the Issuer with respect to) the sufficiency of any such certifications, legal opinions or other information.

The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof or this Section 2.9. The Issuer shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

	
            2.10
 	
            Holder Lists
 

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the TIA. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee prior to or on each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders relating to such Interest Payment Date or request, as the case may be.

	
            2.11
 	
            Persons Deemed Owners
 

The Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying and Conversion Agent and any agent of the Issuer, the Trustee or the Paying and Conversion Agent may treat the registered Holder of a Global Note as the absolute owner of such Global Note for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon, or any notice of previous loss or theft or other interest therein. The Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying and Conversion Agent and any agent of the Issuer, the Trustee or the Paying and Conversion Agent may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note
be overdue, and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon, or any notice of previous loss or theft or other interest therein.

            Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes
 

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Registrar, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding; provided that, if required by the Issuer or the Trustee, such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless must be supplied by the relevant Holder in connection with such replacement.

            (b)
 	
            such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless,
 

then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and, upon request, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.12, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.12 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and such new Note shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.12 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

            Temporary Notes
 

Pending the preparation of Notes in definitive form, the Issuer may execute and the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Issuer, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed). Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Notes in definitive form but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Issuer. Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Notes in definitive form. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer will execute and deliver to the Trustee Notes in definitive form (other than in the case of Notes in global form) and thereupon any or all temporary Notes (other than any such Notes
in global form) may be surrendered in exchange therefor and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes in definitive form. Such exchange shall be made by the Issuer at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Notes in definitive form authenticated and delivered hereunder.

            Cancellation
 

All securities surrendered for payment, redemption, purchase, conversion, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. All Notes so delivered shall be canceled promptly by the Trustee, and no Notes shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. Upon written instructions of the Issuer, the Trustee shall destroy canceled Notes and, after such destruction, shall deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Issuer. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

	
            2.16
 	
            Common Code and ISIN Numbers
 

The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “Common Code” and/or “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use), and the Trustee shall use Common Code and/or ISIN numbers, as applicable, in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice shall state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any such notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the Common
Code and/or ISIN numbers.

thereafter reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee in connection with this Indenture or the Notes.

            Deposited Monies To Be Held in Trust
 

Subject to Section 3.3 hereof, all monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it to the payment either directly or through the Paying and Conversion Agent (including the Issuer if acting as its own Paying and Conversion Agent), to the Holders of the particular Notes for the payment or redemption of which such monies have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and interest (including Additional Interest, if any). All monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof (and held by it or the Paying and Conversion Agent) for the payment of Notes subsequently converted shall be returned to the Issuer upon request of the Issuer.

	
            3.3
 	
            Return of Unclaimed Monies
 

The Trustee and the Paying and Conversion Agent shall pay to the Issuer any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such payment shall have become due. After payment to the Issuer, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and the Paying and Conversion Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

            4.2
 	
            Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment
 

If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 4.1(e), (f), (g) or (other than with respect to an underlying event referred to in Section 4.1(d) hereof)(h) hereof), then the Trustee may and, if so requested in writing by Holders of at least one quarter of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes or if so directed by an Extraordinary Resolution, shall, provided that it has been indemnified and/or secured to its satisfaction, give written notice to the Issuer declaring the Notes to be immediately due and payable, whereupon they shall become immediately due and payable at their principal amount together with accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) without further action or formality.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 4.1(e), (f), (g) or (other than with respect to an underlying event referred to in Section 4.1(d) hereof)(h) hereof occurs, all unpaid principal of and accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Outstanding Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may rescind and annul an acceleration and its consequences if:

	
             
  	
            (a)
 	
            all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Notes which has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been remedied, cured or waived, and
 

	
             
  	
            (b)
 	
            the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.
 

	
            4.3
 	
            Other Remedies
 

If an Event of Default with respect to Outstanding Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding in which it may prosecute and enforce all rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes, even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.

	
            4.4
 	
            Waiver of Past Defaults
 

The Holders, either (i) through the written consent of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes or (ii) by Extraordinary Resolution may, on

behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive an existing Default or Event of Default, except a Default or Event of Default:

	
             
  	
            (a)
 	
            in the payment of the principal of or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on any Note (provided, however, that subject to Section 4.2 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration);
 

	
             
  	
            (b)
 	
            in respect of the right to convert any Note in accordance with Article 11 hereof ; or
 

	
             
  	
            (c)
 	
            in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under Section 7.1 hereof, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected.
 

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; provided, however, that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

	
            4.5
 	
            Control by Majority
 

The Holders, either (i) through the written consent of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, or (ii) by Extraordinary Resolution, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that:

	
             
  	
            (a)
 	
            conflicts with any law or with this Indenture,
 

	
             
  	
            (b)
 	
            the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of the Holders not joining therein, or
 

	
             
  	
            (c)
 	
            may expose the Trustee to personal liability.
 

The Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

	
            4.6
 	
            Limitation on Suit
 

No Holder of any Note shall have any right to pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes (including instituting any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee) unless:

	
             
  	
            (a)
 	
            such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of an Event of Default that is continuing;
 

	
             
  	
            (b)
 	
            the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
 

	
             
  	
            (c)
 	
            such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against any costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in complying with such request;
 

	
             
  	
            (d)
 	
            the Trustee has failed to comply with the request for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity; and

            during such 60-day period, no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes (or such amount as shall have acted at a meeting pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture);
 

provided, however, that no one or more of such Holders may use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain preference or priority over another Holder.

	
            4.7
 	
            Unconditional Rights of Holders to Receive Payment and to Convert
 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on such Note on the respective due dates expressed in such Note and to convert such Note in accordance with Article 11, and to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates and right to convert, and such rights shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

	
            4.8
 	
            Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by the Trustee
 

The Issuer covenants that if:

	
             
  	
            (a)
 	
            a Default or Event of Default occurs in the payment of any interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on any Note when such interest (including Additional Interest, if any) becomes due and payable and such Default or Event of Default continues for a period of 30 days, or
 

	
             
  	
            (b)
 	
            a Default or Event of Default occurs in the payment of the principal of any Note at the date on which the principal of such Note becomes due and payable as therein or herein provided, 
 

the Issuer shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable (as expressed therein or as a result of any acceleration effected pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof) on such Notes for principal and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal at the Rate of Interest, and, in addition thereto, such further amounts as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

If the Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Issuer and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Notes by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

            Restoration of Rights and Remedies
 

If the Trustee or any Holder of a Note has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

	
            4.12
 	
            Delay or Omission Not Waiver
 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 4 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Notes, as the case may be.

            (i)
 	
            The Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture or the TIA, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
 

	
             
  	
            (ii)
 	
            In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, that in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates or opinions to determine whether or not, on their face, they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not investigate or confirm the accuracy of any facts stated therein).
 

	
             
  	
            (b)
 	
            In case an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.
 

	
             
  	
            (c)
 	
            No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
 

	
             
  	
            (i)
 	
            This paragraph (c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of paragraph (a) of this Section 5.1;
 

	
             
  	
            (ii)
 	
            The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
 

	
             
  	
            (iii)
 	
            The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes (or such lesser amount as shall have acted at a Meeting pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture) relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture.
 

	
             
  	
            (d)
 	
            Whether or not herein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 5.1.
 

	
             
  	
            (e)
 	
            No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers. The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable fees of counsel).
 

	
             
  	
            (f)
 	
            The Trustee shall not be obligated to pay interest on any money or other assets received by it unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Issuer. Assets held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

            5.2
 	
            Certain Rights of Trustee

            (d)

any conflicting interest (as such term is defined in Section 310(b) of the TIA), it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee (to the extent permitted under Section 310(b) of the TIA) or resign. Any agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 5.11 and 5.12 hereof.

            5.6
 	
            Notice of Defaults
 

Within 90 days after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder of which the Trustee has received written notice, the Trustee shall give notice to Holders pursuant to Section 12.2 hereof, unless such Default or Event of Default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest (including Additional Interest, if any), or in the payment of any redemption or purchase obligation, on any Note, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders.

	
            5.7
 	
            Reports by Trustee to Holders

The Issuer shall in addition pay to the Trustee an amount equal to the amount of any value added tax or similar tax chargeable in respect of its
remuneration under this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 4.1 hereof, the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. The Issuer also covenants to indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and to hold such Persons harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred by them, arising

out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder or the performance of their duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against or investigating any claim of liability in the premises, except to the extent that any such loss, liability or expense was due to the negligence or willful misconduct of such Persons. The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 5.8 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents and to pay or reimburse such Persons for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of the Notes upon all property and funds held
or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Notes, and the Notes are hereby subordinated to such senior claim. “Trustee” for purposes of this Section 5.8 shall include any predecessor Trustee, but the negligence or willful misconduct of any Trustee shall not affect the indemnification of any other Trustee. 

	
            5.9
 	
            Replacement of Trustee
 

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 5.9.

The Trustee may resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer in writing. The Holders, either (i) through the written consent of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes, or (ii) by Extraordinary Resolution, may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer must remove the Trustee if:

	
             
  	
            (a)
 	
            the Trustee fails to comply with Section 5.11 hereof or Section 310 of the TIA;
 

	
             
  	
            (b)
 	
            the Trustee becomes incapable of acting;
 

	
             
  	
            (c)
 	
            the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; or
 

	
             
  	
            (d)
 	
            a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property.
 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to payment of its fees and reimbursement of its expenses while acting as Trustee.

            (b)
 	
            such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it;

provided, however, that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obliged to pay such additional amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due.

Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 10.3, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee:

The Trustee shall be entitled to accept such certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the circumstances set out in (a) and (b) above without need of further enquiry and such certification and opinion (in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee) shall be conclusive and binding on the Noteholders.

Upon the expiry of any such notice as is referred to in this Section 10.3, the Issuer shall be bound to redeem the Notes in accordance with this Section 10.3.

Notwithstanding the above, a Noteholder may elect not to accept such redemption in accordance with this Section 10.3 by giving notice to the Specified Office of the Paying and Conversion Agent within 20 days from publication of the relevant notice by the Issuer.

In order to exercise such option the Issuer shall give not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Trustee and the Noteholders (which notice shall be irrevocable and shall oblige the Issuer to redeem the Notes on the date for redemption specified in such notice). Such notice shall specify (i) the date when the relevant redemption will take place and (ii) the last day on which Conversion Rights may be exercised by a Noteholder. Should the Issuer redeem the Notes in accordance with this Section 10.4, the Issuer shall give notice to Noteholders in accordance with Section 12.2 hereof.

“A” is the number of Shares in issue on the Exchange Business Day immediately preceding the date of such announcement;

“B” is the number of Shares which the Aggregate Consideration would purchase at such Current Market Price; and

“C” is the maximum number of Shares which could be issued upon exercise in full of the rights to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Shares pursuant to the terms of such Share-Related Securities at the initial price or rate;

provided, however, that, if any such adjustment would otherwise result in the Conversion Price being less than the Minimum Conversion Price, then the Conversion Price as adjusted pursuant to this Section 11.12 shall be the Minimum Conversion Price.

provided, however, that, if any such adjustment would otherwise result in the Conversion Price being less than the Minimum Conversion Price, then the Conversion Price as adjusted pursuant to this Section 11.13 shall be the Minimum Conversion Price.

            (i)
 	
            an adjustment should be made to the Conversion Price as a result of one or more events or circumstances not referred to in Sections 11.6 to 11.14 hereof (even if the relevant event or circumstance is specifically excluded from the operation of Sections 11.6 to 11.14 hereof); or
 

	
             
  	
            (ii)

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]

 

BMB MUNAI, INC.

5.0% CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTE DUE 2012

 

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective means ascribed thereto in the Indenture referred to below.

 

	
            1.
 	
            INTEREST
 

 

BMB Munai, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”, which term shall include any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate of 5.0% per annum (the “Rate of Interest”). The Issuer shall pay interest semiannually on January 13 and July 13 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on January 13, 2008. The Notes shall bear interest from July 13, 2007 (the “Original Issue Date”) at the Rate of Interest payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Subject as provided in Sections 11.4(d) and 11.4(e) of the Indenture, each Note will cease to bear interest from the due date
for redemption; provided that if, upon due presentation of any Note on the due date for redemption, payment of principal is improperly withheld or refused, such Note will continue to bear interest at the Rate of Interest (both before and after judgment) until the Relevant Date.

 

The amount of interest (excluding Additional Interest, if any) payable on each Interest Payment Date shall be U.S. $2,500 in respect of each Note of U.S. $100,000 denomination. If interest is required to be paid in respect of a Note on any other date, it shall be calculated by applying the Rate of Interest to the principal amount of such Note, multiplying the product by the relevant Day Count Fraction and rounding the resulting figure to the nearest cent (half a cent being rounded upwards), where “Day Count Fraction” means, in respect of any period, the number of days in the relevant period divided by 360 (the number of days to be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with twelve 30-day months).

 

	
            2.
 	
            METHOD OF PAYMENT
 

 

Each payment of interest (including Additional Interest, if any) in respect of a Note will be made to the person shown as the Holder in the Register at the opening of business in the place of the Registrar’s Specified Office on the Interest Record Date immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date. Where payment in respect of a Note is to be made by cheque, the cheque will be mailed to the address shown as the address of the Holder in the Register at the opening of business on the relevant Interest Record Date.

 

Principal of and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on Global Notes shall be payable to the Common Depositary for the accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream, as applicable, in immediately available funds.

 

Principal of and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on Physical Notes shall be made (a) upon application by a Noteholder to the Specified Office of the Paying and Conversion Agent no later than the fifteenth day before the due date for such payment and (provided that such payment (i) if principal, is made in full or (ii) if interest, constitutes interest payable on redemption) surrender (or in the case of part payment only, endorsement) of the relevant Note Certificates at the Specified Office of the Paying and Conversion Agent outside the United States by U.S. Dollar cheque drawn on, or by transfer to a U.S. Dollar account maintained by the payee with, a bank in New York City or (b) at the Specified Office, if any, of the Paying and Conversion Agent in New York City if (i) the Issuer has appointed Paying and Conversion Agents outside the United States with the

reasonable expectation that such Paying and Conversion 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 and Conversion Agents is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions and (iii) payment is permitted by applicable United States law.

 

	
            3.
 	
            PAYING AGENT, REGISTRAR AND CONVERSION AGENT
 

 

Initially, The Bank of New York will act as Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying and Conversion Agent for the Notes. Notice of any change in any of the Agents or in their respective Specified Offices shall promptly be given to the Noteholders. The Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer may, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, act as Paying and Conversion Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar.

 

	
            4.
 	
            INDENTURE, LIMITATIONS
 

 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer designated as its 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2012 (the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture, dated as of September 19, 2007 (as it may from time to time be supplemented or amended by one or more indentures supplemental thereto entered into pursuant to the applicable provisions thereof, the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and The Bank of New York (the “Trustee”).

This Note is subject to all
such terms, and the Holder of this Note is referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. In the case of any conflict between the provisions of this Note and the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall control.

            REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE ISSUER
 

 

The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer in whole, but not in part, at 104% of their principal amount together with accrued but unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption:

	
             
  	
            (a)
 	
            at any time on or after July 13, 2010; provided that the Closing Market Price of the Shares on each of not less than 20 Exchange Business Days in any period of 30 consecutive Exchange Business Days ending not earlier than the seventh day prior to the date on which the relevant notice of redemption is given by the Issuer to the Noteholders shall have exceeded 130% of the Conversion Price in effect on such Exchange Business Day; or
 

	
             
  	
            (b)
 	
            at any time if prior to the date on which the relevant notice of redemption is given by the Issuer less than 10% in principal amount of the Notes originally issued (including any further notes consolidated and forming a single series with the Notes at such date) remain Outstanding.
 

In order to exercise such option the Issuer shall give not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Trustee and the Noteholders (which notice shall be irrevocable and shall oblige the Issuer to redeem the Notes on the date for redemption specified in such notice). Such notice shall specify (i) 

 

	
            UK/1309140/10
 	
            A-6
 	
            246135/70-40262323

            7.
 	
            REDEMPTION FOR TAX REASONS
 

 

The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer in whole, but not in part, at any time, on giving not less than 45 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Noteholders (which notice shall be irrevocable), at their principal amount, together with accrued but unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption, if:

	
             
  	
            (a)
 	
            the Issuer has or will become obliged to pay additional amounts in excess of any payable on the Original Issue Date (the “Excess Additional Amounts”) as provided or referred to in Section 9.33 of the Indenture as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of the United States or the Republic of Kazakhstan or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change or amendment becomes effective on or after July 13, 2007; and
 

	
             
  	
            (b)
 	
            such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it;
 

provided, however, that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obliged to pay such additional amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due.

Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph 7, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee:

	
             
  	
            (a)
 	
            an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to redeem have occurred; and
 

	
             
  	
            (b)
 	
            an opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, of independent legal advisers of internationally recognised standing to the effect that the Issuer has or will become obliged to pay such additional amounts as a result of such change or amendment.
 

The Trustee shall be entitled to accept such certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the circumstances set out in (a) and (b) above without need of further enquiry and such certification and opinion (in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee) shall be conclusive and binding on the Noteholders.

Upon the expiry of any such notice as is referred to in this paragraph 7, the Issuer shall be bound to redeem the Notes in accordance with this paragraph 7.

Notwithstanding the above, a Noteholder may elect not to accept such redemption in accordance with this paragraph 7 by giving notice to the Specified Office of the Paying and Conversion Agent within 20 days from publication of the relevant notice by the Issuer. Such Noteholder will continue to receive payments on the Notes but will not be entitled to any Excess Additional Amounts.

The Issuer shall, at the option of the Holder of any Note, redeem such Note:

	
             
  	
            (a)
 	
            in the event that the Initial Shelf Registration Statement has not been filed on or prior to the Filing Deadline Date, on any day following the Filing Deadline Date until, but excluding, the Shelf Registration Statement Filing Date (the “First Put Exercise Period”) at a price equal to 110% of its principal amount together with interest accrued but unpaid to such date; or
 

	
             
  	
            (b)
 	
            in the event that the Shelf Registration Statement Effective Date has not occurred, on any day following the one (1) year anniversary of the Original Issue Date (the “Anniversary”) until, but excluding, the earlier of the day that is 45 days after the Anniversary or the Shelf Registration Statement Effective Date (the “Second Put Exercise Period”) at a price equal to 110% of its principal amount together with interest accrued but unpaid to such date; or
 

	
             
  	
            (c)
 	
            on July 13, 2010 (the “Third Put Date”) at a price equal to 104% of its principal amount together with interest accrued but unpaid to such date.
 

In order to exercise the option contained in clauses (a) or (b) above, the Holder of a Note must, during the First Put Exercise Period or the Second Put Exercise Period, as applicable, deposit with the Paying and Conversion Agent such Note Certificate and a duly completed Put Option Notice. 

In order to exercise the option contained in clause (c) above, the Holder of a Note must, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days before the relevant Put Settlement Date, deposit with the Paying and Conversion Agent a duly completed Put Option Notice and, in the case of a Put Option Notice relating to Notes evidenced by a Note Certificate, such Note Certificate.

The Paying and Conversion Agent with which a Note is so deposited shall deliver a duly completed receipt for such Note (a “Put Option Receipt”) to the depositing Noteholder. No Note, once deposited with a duly completed Put Option Notice in accordance with this paragraph 8, may be withdrawn; provided, however, that if, prior to the relevant Put Settlement Date, any such Note becomes immediately due and payable or, upon due presentation of any such Note on the relevant Put Settlement Date, payment of the redemption moneys is improperly withheld or refused, the Paying and Conversion Agent shall mail notification thereof to the depositing Noteholder at such address as may have been given by such Noteholder in the relevant Put Option Notice and shall hold such
Note at its Specified Office for collection by the depositing Noteholder against surrender of the relevant Put Option Receipt. For so long as any Outstanding Note is held by the Paying and Conversion Agent in accordance with this paragraph 8, the depositor of such Note and not such Paying and Conversion Agent shall be deemed to be the Holder of such Note for all purposes. Should a Holder of any Note redeem such Note in accordance with this paragraph 8, the Issuer shall give notice to Noteholders in accordance with paragraph 8.

The Issuer shall give notice to the Noteholders as soon as practicable following such event of the Shelf Registration Statement Filing Date and the Shelf Registration Statement Effective Date, in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Indenture and, in the absence of such notice, the Shelf Registration Statement Filing Date and the Shelf Registration Statement Effective Date shall be deemed not to have occurred for the purposes of this paragraph 8.

Put Date, any such Note becomes immediately due and payable or, upon due presentation of any such Note on the Change of Control Put Date, payment of the redemption moneys is improperly withheld or refused, the Paying and Conversion Agent shall mail notification thereof to the depositing Noteholder at such address as may have been given by such Noteholder in the relevant Put Option Notice and shall hold such Note at its Specified Office for collection by the depositing Noteholder against surrender of the relevant Put Option Receipt. For so long as any Outstanding Note is held by the Paying and Conversion Agent in accordance with this paragraph 9, the depositor of such Note and not such Paying and Conversion Agent shall be deemed to be the Holder of such Note for all purposes.

            CONVERSION
 

 

The Holder of each Note has the right to convert such Note into fully-paid Shares at any time during the Conversion Period.

The “Conversion Period” in respect of any Note shall be the period beginning on and including the first to occur of (X) the tenth New York Business Day following the Shelf Registration Statement Effective Date and (Y) July 13, 2008 and ending on and including the earlier to occur of:

	
             
  	
            (i)
 	
            the close of business (in the place where the Conversion Notice in respect of the Note is deposited) on June 28, 2012; and
 

	
             
  	
            (ii)
 	
            if such Note shall have been called for redemption before the Maturity Date, the close of business (in the place where the Conversion Notice in respect of the Note is deposited) on the day which is 10 days before the date fixed for redemption thereof,
 

provided, however, that:

	
             
  	
            (A)
 	
            if the Issuer shall default in making payment in full in respect of such Note on the date fixed for redemption thereof, the relevant Conversion Period shall continue up to and including the date upon which the full amount of the moneys payable in respect of such Note has been duly received by the Trustee or the Paying and Conversion Agent and notice of such receipt has been given to the Noteholders in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Indenture) or, if earlier, up to and including June 28, 2012; and 
 

	
             
  	
            (B)
 	
            in any such case, if the last day of the Conversion Period would otherwise be a day which is not a Business Day in the place where the Conversion Notice in respect of the Note is deposited, the last day of the Conversion Period shall be the immediately preceding Business Day in such place.
 

In any event the Conversion Period shall end on the date of any notice from the Trustee declaring the Notes to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Article 4 of the Indenture.

Conversion Rights are not exercisable in respect of any Note deposited for redemption under Section 10.4 of the Indenture.

The number of Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Conversion Right attaching to any Note shall be determined by dividing the principal amount of the Note by the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date. 

The Conversion Price in effect on the Original Issue Date is U.S. $7.2094. The Conversion Price in effect on any subsequent date shall be the Conversion Price in effect on the Original Issue Date subject to any subsequent adjustment in accordance with the Indenture and the expression “Conversion Price” shall be construed accordingly. Notwithstanding any provision of the Indenture which permits or requires an adjustment of the Conversion Price, no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made that would reduce the adjusted Conversion Price to a price that is less than the Minimum Conversion Price. Any such adjustment will result in the Conversion Price being set at the Minimum Conversion Price.

Conversion Rights are not exercisable in respect of any specific Shares and no Shares have been or will be charged, placed in custody or otherwise set aside to secure or satisfy the obligations of the Issuer in respect of the Conversion Rights.

Fractions of a Share will not be issued on conversion. However, if more than one Note is to be converted at any one time by the same Noteholder such that the Shares to be issued upon conversion thereof are to be registered in the same name, the number of Shares which shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be calculated on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so to be converted. If a fraction of a Share would otherwise fall to be issued upon conversion, the Issuer shall make or procure that there is made, on or before the seventh London Business Day after the relevant Conversion Date, a cash payment equal to such fraction of the Current Market Price per Share as at the relevant Conversion Date by U.S. Dollar cheque drawn on, or by transfer to a U.S. Dollar account maintained by the payee with, a bank in New York City in accordance with instructions given in the relevant Conversion Notice.

 

To convert a Note, a Holder must follow the procedures set forth in the Indenture.

 

	
            11.
 	
            DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE
 

 

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of U.S. $100,000 or integral multiples thereof. A Holder may register the transfer of or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation thereto by law or permitted by the Indenture.

 

	
            12.
 	
            PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS
 

 

The Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying and Conversion Agent and any agent of the Issuer, the Trustee or the Paying and Conversion Agent may treat the registered Holder of a Global Note as the absolute owner of such Global Note for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon, or any notice of previous loss or theft or other interest therein.

            13.
 	
            UNCLAIMED MONEY
 

 

The Trustee and the Paying and Conversion Agent shall pay to the Issuer any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such payment shall have become due. After payment to the Issuer, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and the Paying and Conversion Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

 

	
            14.
 	
            AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

If an Event of Default occurs as a result of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer, all unpaid principal of and accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Outstanding Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders, all as and to the extent provided in the Indenture.

 

Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. 

 

The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. 

 

Subject to certain limitations, the Holders, either (a) through the written consent of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, or (b) by Extraordinary Resolution, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. 

 

The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing default (except a default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests. 

 

The Issuer is required to give notice in writing to the Trustee forthwith upon becoming aware of any Event of Default or Default under the Indenture or obligation of the Issuer to pay Additional Interest
