incurred or otherwise claimed hereunder shall be limited to CFI’s TH Share of such loss; and (B) ATT’s liability for any such loss suffered, incurred or otherwise claimed hereunder shall be limited to ATT’s TH Share of such loss,
|
subject always to the CFI Liability Cap, the ATT Liability Cap and the other liability
limitations as set out in this Clause 9.
| 9.3 |
If:
|
| (a) |
the Respondent Party makes a payment (excluding any interest on a late payment) to the Claimant Party (which has been received) in respect of a Claim (a “Relevant Payment”);
|
| (b) |
the Claimant Party receives any sum which would not have been received but for the circumstance which gave rise to that Claim, provided that, where such sum
is paid to Turkcell Holding (or Purchaser as its successor), that sum, for the purposes of this provision, shall be deemed to be CFI’s TH Share or ATT’s TH Share (as relevant) of such sum (a “Third Party Sum”);
|
| (c) |
the receipt of the Third Party Sum was not taken into account in calculating the Relevant Payment; and
|
| (d) |
the aggregate of the Third Party Sum and the Relevant Payment exceeds the amount required to compensate the Claimant Party in full for the loss or liability
which gave rise to the Claim in question, such excess being the “Excess Recovery”,
|
then the Claimant Party shall repay to the Respondent Party promptly, on receipt of such
Third Party Sum, an amount equal to the lower of (i) the Excess Recovery; and (ii) the Relevant Payment, after deducting (in either case) all costs and expenses incurred by the Claimant Party in recovering the Third Party Sum and any Tax attributable
to or suffered in respect of such receipt.
| 9.4 |
Purchaser shall be entitled to bring Claims under one or more applicable Warranties in respect of the same matter, fact, or circumstance, but shall not be
entitled to double recovery by reason of such matter, fact, or circumstance constituting a breach of more than one Warranty. More generally, neither CFI, ATT nor Purchaser shall be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment,
reimbursement, restitution or indemnity more than once in respect of any one liability, loss, cost, shortfall, damage or deficiency, regardless of whether more than one Claim or Leakage Claim arises in respect of it.
|
| 9.5 |
Each Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, reasonable steps to mitigate any liabilities, including reasonable attorneys' fees, associated with
a Claim upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including, in relation to any costs incurred to minimise the relevant losses in relation to the Claim, incurring
costs only to the minimum extent necessary provided that, in all cases and from time to time, no Party shall be required to take any action (or refrain from taking any action) in mitigation to the extent that such action (or inaction
|
22
as the case may be) may preclude such Party from initiating or conducting any Claim (or
potential Claim) pursuant to this Agreement or any claim (or potential claim) against any party pursuant to any other Transaction Agreement.
| 9.6 |
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly provided in any Warranty, Seller does not give or make any warranty, covenant or representation
as to (i) any aspect of Turkcell (other than to the extent of any of the TI Share Title Warranties); or (ii) the accuracy of the forecasts, estimates, projections or statements of intent provided to Purchaser or TWF prior to the date of
this Agreement.
|
| 9.7 |
If any Claim is based upon a liability which is contingent only, the Respondent Party shall not be liable to make any payment unless and until such
contingent liability gives rise to an actual liability (but the Claimant Party has the right under Clause 9.1 to give written notice of that Claim before such time).
|
| 9.8 |
Neither ATT nor CFI shall be liable for any Claim to the extent that it would not have arisen but for, or has been increased (solely to the extent of such
increase) as a result of, any voluntary act, omission or transaction carried out:
|
| (a) |
after Completion by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (or their respective Representatives) outside the ordinary and usual course of business; or
|
| (b) |
before Completion by Seller or Turkcell Holding at the written direction or request of Purchaser or any of its Controlled Affiliates (as of the date of this
Agreement).
|
| 9.9 |
In connection with a Claim for breach of a General Warranty where ATT would not be deemed to be aware of the facts, matters or circumstances giving
rise to the Claim but for Clause 1.3(c)(iii) (and without prejudice to any Claim where ATT is deemed to have such knowledge pursuant to Clause 1.3(c)(i) or 1.3(c)(ii) in which case Clause 9.9(a) shall
not apply):
|
| (a) |
ATT shall not be liable for such Claim unless:
|
| (i) |
a claim against Telia Finland for breach of an equivalent warranty pursuant to clause 8.2 of the Telia TH Interest SPA relating to those facts,
matters or circumstances (an “Equivalent Telia Claim”) (1) has been accepted by or settled with Telia Finland; or (2) has resulted in an arbitral award for the payment of monies made in
favour of Purchaser (the amount which Telia Finland is required to pay pursuant to (1) or (2) in respect of any such claim being a “Telia Finland Claim Amount”); and
|
| (ii) |
the Telia Finland Claim Amount has been satisfied by (individually or in combination) (1) Telia Finland (or its Affiliate) in cash, for other valuable
consideration or any combination thereof; and/or (2) via enforcement proceedings undertaken by or on behalf of Purchaser;
|
| (b) |
ATT and Purchaser consent and agree that where Purchaser brings an Equivalent Telia Claim, both the relevant Claim and the Equivalent Telia Claim shall, to the extent either
has not otherwise previously been accepted or settled, be consolidated in arbitration and, in particular, the relevant Claim shall not be withdrawn, nor shall it be capable of dismissal, discharge or determination
|
23
unless and until the Equivalent Telia Claim has been finally dismissed, discharged or determined;
| (c) |
for the avoidance of doubt, Seller agrees that Telia Finland and its Affiliates shall not have any liability (expect in case of fraud or fraudulent
misrepresentation) to Seller in connection with any such successful Claim by Purchaser.
|
| 9.10 |
The Warranties are subject to the CFI Disclosure Letter and the ATT Disclosure Letter.
|
| 9.11 |
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that all Claims by Purchaser for which L1, ATT, or any other L1 Guaranteed Party are liable
shall be satisfied in accordance with the Claims process set out in clause 7 of the Turkcell Interest SPA provided that, unless and until
Purchaser receives, in respect of each such Claim, the full value accepted, agreed or awarded (as the case may be) in respect of each such Claim:
|
| (a) |
Purchaser shall be entitled to take any action provided by Applicable Law (including, without limitation, seeking interim relief) it deems appropriate in
order to protect and preserve its rights in respect of any amount of the value of any such Claim; and/or
|
| (b) |
if, at the end of any applicable time period provided for in clause 7 of the Turkcell Interest SPA, Purchaser has not received the full value of the relevant
Claim which ATT and/or IMTIS Holdings are required to satisfy, Purchaser is entitled to take any and all actions it chooses to, and commence any proceedings it chooses to, for the recovery of any residual amount of the value of any such
Claim.
|
| 9.12 |
Without prejudice to the rights of CFI and/or ATT to bring any claim, CFI, ATT and Seller acknowledge and agree that Seller is not entitled to make any claim
against Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and Seller’s only relief or remedy in respect of any such claim or potential claim shall be equitable relief and/or specific performance.
|
| 9.13 |
The limitations of liability contained in this Clause 9 or otherwise in this Agreement shall not apply to any liability for any Claim to the extent that the
same is attributable to fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation on the part of CFI, ATT, Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be.
|
| 10. |
Termination
|
| 10.1 |
This Agreement shall automatically terminate on the termination of the Framework Agreement in accordance with its terms.
|
| 10.2 |
On written notice to the other Parties, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement if the Condition in Clause 6.1(ii) has not been satisfied (or waived)
immediately prior to Completion.
|
| 10.3 |
Notwithstanding Clause 10.1 and Clause 10.2, this Clause 10 (Termination) and Clauses 1 (Interpretation), 9 (Limitations on Liability), 11 (Third Party Rights), 13 (Costs and Expenses), 15
(Miscellanea), 16 (Governing Law), and 17 (Arbitration) shall survive any termination hereof.
|
| 10.4 |
Any termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any liability of any Party for prior breaches hereof.
|
24
| 11. |
Third Party Rights
|
| 11.1 |
The Parties do not intend that any term of this Agreement should be enforceable, by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Xxx 0000, by any person
who is not a party to this Agreement, except that Turkcell Holding may enforce and rely upon Clause 4.10 and Clause 8.6 to the same extent as if it were a party and Telia Finland may enforce and rely upon Clause 9.9(c) to the same extent as
if it were a party.
|
| 11.2 |
This Agreement may be terminated and any term may be amended or waived without the consent of either or both of Turkcell Holding or Telia Finland.
|
| 12. |
Payments
|
| 12.1 |
Any payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in full, without any set off, counterclaim and without any deduction or withholding. If,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any Party is required by Applicable Law to make a deduction or withholding in respect of any sum payable under or in connection with this Agreement, such Party shall, at the same time as the sum which is the
subject of the deduction or withholding is payable, pay to the relevant Party such additional amount as shall be required to ensure that the net amount received by that Party will equal the full amount which would have been received by that
Party had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made.
|
| 12.2 |
Any payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be effected by crediting for same day value the account specified in writing by the relevant payee(s)
(reasonably in advance and in sufficient detail to enable payment by telegraphic or other electronic means to be effected) on or before the due date for payment.
|
| 12.3 |
If any payment is made to Purchaser by CFI and/or ATT in connection with this Agreement, the payment shall be treated as an adjustment to the value of the
consideration paid by Purchaser to Seller under this Agreement and, in such circumstances, the value of the consideration shall be deemed to have been reduced by the amount of such payment.
|
| 12.4 |
Payment of a sum in accordance with this Clause 12 shall constitute a payment in full of the sum payable and shall be a good discharge to the payor (and
those on whose behalf such payment is made) of the payor’s obligation to make such payment and the payor (and those on whose behalf such payment is made) shall not be obliged to see to the application of the payment as between those on
whose behalf the payment is received.
|
| 13. |
Costs and Expenses
|
Each Party shall pay its own costs and expenses in relation to the negotiation,
preparation and execution of this Agreement and all other documents mentioned herein.
| 14. |
General
|
| 14.1 |
Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that the Parties may have, the Parties acknowledge and agree that damages alone would not be an adequate
remedy for any breach by them of Clauses 2, 3 or 7 and that the remedies of injunction and specific performance as well as any other equitable relief for any threatened or actual breach of Clauses 2, 3 or 7 by any Party would be more
appropriate remedies.
|
25
| 14.2 |
The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and do not exclude any rights and remedies provided by Applicable Law, provided that (save
for termination pursuant to Clause 10) no Party shall be entitled to rescind or terminate this Agreement, whether before or after Completion. Nothing in this Clause 14 shall operate to limit or exclude any liability for fraud.
|
| 15. |
Miscellanea
|
The provisions of clauses 15 (Confidentiality),
16 (Announcements), 17 (Successors), 18 (Assignment), 19 (Notices), 21 (Variation and Waiver), 22 (Counterparts), 23 (Whole Agreement), and 24 (Invalidity) of the
Global Settlement Deed are incorporated into this Agreement mutatis mutandis with references to “this Deed” therein to being deemed to be a reference to this Agreement.
| 16. |
Governing Law
|
This Agreement and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims)
arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter shall be governed by, and construed and take effect in accordance with, English law.
| 17. |
Arbitration
|
All disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be finally settled
in accordance with clause 2 (Arbitration) of the Arbitration Deed.
In witness whereof this Agreement has been executed as a
deed and delivered on the date first above written.
