AMENDMENT OF THE ORIGINAL SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

On the date of this Agreement, the Original Sale and Purchase Agreement shall be amended and restated on the terms set forth in the Amended and Restated Sale and Purchase Agreement.

On the date of this Agreement, the Original Sale and Purchase Agreement and this Agreement shall be read and construed as one document and references in the Original Sale and Purchase Agreement shall be read and construed as references to the Original Sale and Purchase Agreement as amended and restated by this Agreement.

THIRD PARTY RIGHTS

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer on any person any right to enforce any term of this Agreement which that person would not have had but for the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Xxx 0000.

GOVERNING LAW; ARBITRATION

5.1

This Agreement is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, English law.

5.2

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration (the “Rules”) of the London Court of International Arbitration (the “LCIA Court”) in force at the date of this Agreement, which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference to this clause 5. There shall be three arbitrators, and the Parties agree that one arbitrator shall be nominated by each party for appointment by the LCIA Court in accordance with the Rules. The third arbitrator who shall act as the chairman of the tribunal, shall be nominated by agreement of the two party-approved arbitrators within fourteen days of the confirmation of the appointment of the second arbitrator, or in default of such agreement, appointed by the LCIA Court. The seat of the arbitration shall be London. The language of this arbitration shall be English.

5.3

The arbitrators shall have the power to grant any legal or equitable remedy or relief available under law, including but not limited to injunctive relief, whether interim and/or final, and specific performance, and any measures ordered by the arbitrators may be specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.

The arbitral tribunal shall not consolidate such arbitrations unless it determines that (a) there are issues of fact or law common to the arbitrations in question so that a consolidated

proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (b) no Party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise. In the event of different rulings on this question by the arbitration tribunal constituted hereunder and the tribunal constituted under any Related Agreement, the ruling of the first formed panel shall control. In the case of the consolidated proceeding, the arbitrators in that proceeding shall be appointed by the LCIA Court.

	4.4.3		the Claim has become time-barred in accordance with paragraph 3 of Schedule 4; or

	4.4.4		a competent court or arbitration tribunal has awarded final judgment or an arbitral award in respect of the Claim and, where relevant, the period for lodging an appeal has expired without an appeal having been lodged.

There shall be three arbitrators, and the Parties agree that one arbitrator shall be nominated by each party for appointment by the LCIA Court in accordance with the Rules. The third arbitrator who shall act as the chairman of the tribunal, shall be nominated by agreement of the two party-approved arbitrators within fourteen days of the confirmation of the appointment of the second arbitrator, or in default of such agreement, appointed by the LCIA Court. The seat of the arbitration shall be London. The language of this arbitration shall be English.

27.3		The arbitrators shall have the power to grant any legal or equitable remedy or relief available under law, including but not limited to injunctive relief, whether interim and/or final, and specific performance, and any measures ordered by the arbitrators may be specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. Each Party retains the right to seek interim or provisional measures, including but not limited to injunctive relief and including but not limited to pre-arbitral attachments or injunctions, from any court of competent jurisdiction, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with the agreement to arbitrate or a waiver of the right to arbitrate.

The arbitral tribunal shall not consolidate such arbitrations unless it determines that (a) there are issues of fact or law common to the arbitrations in question so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (b) no Party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise. In the event of different rulings on this question by the arbitration tribunal constituted hereunder and the tribunal constituted under any Related Agreement, the ruling of the first formed panel shall control. In the case of the consolidated proceeding, the arbitrators in that proceeding shall be appointed by the LCIA Court.

28.		LANGUAGE

28.1		This Agreement is written in English and Ukrainian. In the event of any discrepancy between the English and the Ukrainian version, the English version shall prevail except as regards the New Charter, where the Ukrainian version shall prevail.

Dear Sirs

Re: Material Adverse Effect Certificate

We refer to the Sale and Purchase Agreement dated 7 June 2007 between the Buyers and the Sellers. Capitalised terms used herein and not defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Sale and Purchase Agreement. References to Clauses and Schedules are to clauses and schedules of the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

This is the material adverse effect certificate referred to in Clause 6.6.3 (f).

The Sellers hereby confirm to the Buyers that, as far as the Sellers are aware, had the Warranties which are not repeated as of the Completion Date in accordance with Clause 10.2 (the “Non-Repeating Warranties”), been repeated as of the Completion Date, any failure of the Non-Repeating Warranties to be true and correct as of the Completion Date (without giving any limitation as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect”) would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

Yours faithfully,
