In both cases, QIWI shall maintain the effectiveness of such Form F-3 until all of the Subscription Shares included on such Form F-3 have been disposed of, if and to the extent that the Investor is deemed an affiliate of QIWI under the Securities Act as reasonably determined by QIWI. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of QIWI to take any action pursuant to this clause 8.1 with respect to the

 

17

registration of the Subscription Shares that the Investor furnish to QIWI such information regarding itself and the intended method of disposition of the Subscription Shares and, prior to Completion 1, other information concerning the Group Companies (including any financial information of the Group Companies required to be filed pursuant to Form F-3) as is reasonably requested by QIWI to effect the registration of the Subscription Shares. Any such information furnished to QIWI by the Investor for use in the registration statement on Form F-3 shall not contain any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the Subscription Shares on Form F-3, including all registration, filing, and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for QIWI, shall be borne by QIWI.

8.5 If QIWI fails to file Form-F-3 of either the Subscription Shares 1 or the Subscription Shares 2 in accordance with clause 8.1, then QIWI shall pay to the Investor an amount totalling RUB 250,000,000 (two hundred and fifty million roubles) as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in recognition of the fact that under such circumstances it would be impossible to calculate precisely the monetary damages incurred by the Investor and that such sum represents a genuine covenanted pre-estimate of, and prior consideration for, the costs, expenses and lost value to the Investor resulting from the failure of QIWI to satisfy such covenant. Following such payment, QIWI shall no longer be under any obligation with respect to the registration of the Subscription Shares pursuant to clause 8.1.

  8.6.2 at any time after Completion Date 1, attempt to use any Intellectual Property owned by any Group Company at Completion Date 1.

Neither Party, nor any of its Related Parties, for a period of two (2) years from the Completion Date 1 shall employ or solicit for employment, hire or otherwise retain, any person knowing such person or a related person to be an employee of the Group Companies, provided that such Party or Related Party may (i) solicit for employment or employ or attempt to employ any persons who are no longer employed by the Group Companies at the time of their first contact with them, (ii) engage in general solicitations of employment not specifically

 

18

directed at employees of the Group Companies, or (iii) employ any person (other than a person who becomes known to such Party or Related Party in connection with the Transaction) who contacts such Party or Related Party on his or her own initiative without any direct or indirect solicitation (other than general solicitations described in the foregoing clause (ii)) by or encouragement from such Party or Related Party.

46

liabilitt by or on behalf of QIWI. In all other events, the Investor will seek the consent of QIWI in connection with the Investor’s agreement to any settlement or compromise of any such Third Party Claim; and
