them in the Transaction Agreement (as defined herein). 
 WHEREAS, Isvias Trading Limited, which is a company incorporated under the laws of

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the
Company and Guarantor hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not
merely as surety, for the benefit of the Company, Calypso, the officers, directors, employees, managers and members of the Company, any of the Company’s Subsidiaries and Calypso, and such parties’ successors and assigns (collectively, the
“Covered Group”), the performance of all obligations of Buyer, Newco, the Amalgamated Company and their successors and assigns in connection with the Transaction Agreement, the Bermuda Amalgamation Agreement and all agreements and
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement and the Bermuda Amalgamation Agreement, including without limitation Buyer’s obligation to deposit with the escrow agent funds sufficient in amount to satisfy Buyer’s obligations

 3. Guarantor agrees to pay, on demand, and to save the
Covered Group harmless against liability for, any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred or expended by the Covered Group in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under
this Guarantee. 
 4. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty, with respect to a Claim (as defined in the Policy (as defined
below)), Guarantor shall not be obligated to make any payment under this Guarantee to the applicable Person within the Covered Group until such Person gives the Insurer (as defined in the Policy) notice of such Claim pursuant to and in accordance
with the terms of the Policy. As a condition to any payment under this Guaranty by Guarantor for such a Claim, the applicable Person within the Covered Group shall, to the extent it receives payment from Guarantor for such Claim, (a) pay to
Guarantor proceeds received by such Person from the Insurer pursuant to the Policy for such Claim up to an amount equal to the amount paid by Guarantor to such Person pursuant to this Guaranty for such Claim, which obligation of such Person to so
pay Guarantor shall be pursuant to a document or instrument reasonably acceptable to such Person and Guarantor and (b) execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered any and all such further documents and instruments, and shall take
or cause to be taken such actions, as Guarantor may reasonably request for purposes of attempting to obtain payment from the Insurer for such Claim, in each case, at the cost and expense of Guarantor. For purposes of this Section 4,
“Policy” shall mean the Financial Services Liability Policy, Policy Number ELU090987 with Indian Harbor Insurance Company.

 2 

 (b) Guarantor has all requisite legal power and authority to execute and deliver this Guarantee and carry
out and perform its obligations hereunder. This Guarantee has been duly authorized by the appropriate governing bodies of Guarantor and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms,
except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other laws or equitable principles relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally. 
 (c) All action on the part of Guarantor necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee has been taken. 
 (d) Neither the execution and delivery of this Guarantee nor the performance by Guarantor of its obligations hereunder will (i) conflict with or
result in any breach of any provision of the governing or organizational documents of Guarantor; (ii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default, or give rise to any right
of termination, cancellation or acceleration or obligation, or loss of benefits under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, charge, mortgage, letter of credit, other evidence of indebtedness, guarantee, license, lease or agreement
or similar instrument or obligation which Guarantor is a party or by which any of its assets or properties may be bound; or (iii) violate any order, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation of any Governmental Entity to which Guarantor
is subject. 
 (e) No filing or registration with, notification to, or authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Entity is
required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Guarantee by Guarantor or the performance by Guarantor of its obligations hereunder. 
 6. Guarantor hereby consents to any and all amendments to the Transaction Agreement, the Bermuda Amalgamation Agreement or any agreements contemplated thereby that may be entered into or effected after the execution and delivery of this
Guarantee but prior to the Effective Time, and any such amendments shall not change, reduce or diminish in any way Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. 
 7. This Guarantee shall be binding upon Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Covered Group and their successors and assigns. Persons and entities included within the Covered
Group not expressly party to this Guarantee are intended third party beneficiaries of this Guarantee. 
 8. This Guarantee shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws thereof that would require the application of any other law. If the choice of law in the foregoing sentence is found to be
unenforceable for any reason, then in no case shall this Guarantee be governed by, construed under or interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Russian Federation.

 9. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Guarantee, or the breach,
termination or validity of this Guarantee, shall be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the International Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect, except as modified herein. The place
of arbitration shall be New York, New York. If there are two parties to the arbitration (which, for these purposes, Guarantor and its affiliates shall be considered one party), there shall be three neutral and impartial arbitrators, of whom each
party shall appoint one within 30 days of the receipt by the respondent of the demand for arbitration. The two arbitrators so appointed shall select the chair of the arbitral tribunal within 30 days of the appointment of the second arbitrator. If
there are more than two parties to the arbitration (which, for these purposes, Guarantor and its affiliates shall be considered one party), the parties shall have 30 days from receipt by respondent(s) of a copy of the demand for arbitration to agree
on a panel of three arbitrators. If any arbitrator is not appointed within the time limit provided herein, such arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and ranking procedure, with each party having a limited
number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause. In rendering an award, the arbitral tribunal shall be required to follow the laws of the State of New York. Any arbitration proceedings, decision or award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect
and interpretation of this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq. The award shall be in writing and shall state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based. The
arbitration award shall include an assessment of the costs of the arbitration (including the fees and expenses of the AAA, the arbitrator(s) and any expert witnesses, and the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the prevailing party or parties)
against the non-prevailing party or parties. The award shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the
arbitrator(s). Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any costs or fees (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incident to enforcing the award shall be charged against the party resisting such enforcement. By
agreeing to arbitration, the parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any award. Without
prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the parties to request that any court modify or vacate any
temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect. The Company and Guarantor submit to the jurisdiction of the federal and state
courts in the City of New York, State of New York, United States of America (the “New York Courts”) for the purpose of an order to compel arbitration, for preliminary relief in aid of arbitration or for a preliminary injunction to maintain
the status quo or prevent irreparable harm prior to the appointment of the arbitrators, and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the enforcement of any award issued hereunder. The Company and Guarantor each irrevocably agrees
that all process in any such proceedings in any New York Court may be effected by sending to it a copy thereof (a) by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail, including a form of mail in the intended
recipient’s jurisdiction that would most closely approximate such form of mail), postage prepaid, (b) by confirmed delivery by a standard courier or (c) by facsimile transmission if such party confirms receipt of such transmission in
writing, in each case, at its address or facsimile number, as applicable, set forth below or at such other address or facsimile number, as applicable, of which the other party hereto 
  

 4 

 shall have been notified pursuant thereto, such service being hereby acknowledged by the parties to this Guarantee to be
effective and binding service in every request. The Company and Guarantor each irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non
conveniens or any right of jurisdiction on account of the place of residence or domicile which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in any New York Court. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve
process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. For purposes of sending copies of process pursuant to this section, the following addresses and facsimile numbers shall apply (subject to the changing of such addresses or facsimile numbers
pursuant to this section):

	 	Re:	Amended and Restated Administration and Liquidation Agreement 

 Dear Stephen: 
 Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Administration and Liquidation Agreement,
effective as of July 10, 2006, by and between Calypso Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Calypso”), and Harbor Global Company Ltd., a Bermuda limited duration company (the “Company”), as amended (the
“Administration Agreement”). 
 In consideration of the agreements set forth in this letter agreement, and for other good and
valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, and intending to be legally bound, Calypso and the Company agree as follows: 
 The Company and Calypso agree that, if the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), pursuant to the Company’s Memorandum of
Association, extends (the “Extension”) the date by which the assets of the Company must be liquidated (such extended date, the “Extension Date”) beyond the current date for completing such liquidation of October 24, 2006,
the term of the Administration Agreement, as set forth in Section 2 of the Administration Agreement, shall be automatically extended until the earliest of (i) the Extension Date, (ii) the date the Company is liquidated or
(iii) the date of termination of the Administration Agreement pursuant to Section 1 of Amendment No. 2 to the Amended and Restated Administration and Liquidation Agreement contemplated to be entered into between the Company and
Calypso pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Amalgamation, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company, Isvias Trading Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Cyprus, and Namredips Ltd., a Bermuda company and a
wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer, subject to the Company and Calypso entering into such Amendment No. 2 (such earliest date, the “Termination Date”). The extension of the term of the Administration Agreement will be legally binding
notwithstanding that this letter agreement is less than 120 days prior to October 24, 2006. 

 Section 1 of the Employment Agreement, dated as of August 8, 2000, between Stephen G. Kasnet
and Calypso Management LLC (as amended previously, “Employment Agreement”) provides for Mr. Kasnet’s engagement by Calypso “for the Term (as defined in the Administration and Liquidation Agreement)” (the
“Employment Agreement Term”). If the Board effects the Extension, the parties agree to extend the Employment Agreement Term until the Termination Date. 
 This letter agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same
instrument. 
 Please confirm your agreement with the foregoing by signing and returning the enclosed copy of this letter. 
  

			
	Very truly yours,
	
	Harbor Global Company Ltd.
