Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relevant ROFR Acceptance Notice and the relevant Buyer's obligation to buy the Selling Shareholder(s)'s Shares shall cease to have effect if (i) any necessary Regulatory Approval is not obtained within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the relevant ROFR Acceptance Notice or (ii) if earlier than the end of the latter period, any relevant authority conclusively refuses to grant any such Regulatory Approval.

If Titan does not give a ROFR Acceptance Notice within the ROFR Period and (if relevant) the Non-Selling Shareholder does not give a ROFR Acceptance Notice within the Second ROFR Period, it/they shall be deemed to have consented to the Selling Shareholder(s) selling its/their Shares to the Third Party Purchaser on the Key Terms, and the Selling Shareholder(s) shall at any time within 90 Business Days after the expiry of the ROFR Period, or, if relevant, the Second ROFR Period, be at liberty to transfer its/their Shares to the Third Party Purchaser (but to no other person) provided that the transfer is for not less than the price, and on terms no more favourable to a purchaser than the terms, specified in the Transfer Notice and subject further to Clause 17.


16.9	A Transfer Notice and ROFR Acceptance Notice shall each be governed by English law.

The Sale Right and the Drag Right may only be exercised where the exercise of such right will result in Titan receiving an amount at least equal to the aggregate of (i) the Titan Investment Amount; and (ii) such amount as would, when aggregated with the amount of dividends and/or distributions received by Titan from the Company from the date of Completion, represent an IRR for Titan of 8 per cent. per annum in respect of the Shares held by Titan from Completion until the date of completion of the sale of the Russian Operating Company or the sale of Titan's Shares to the Third Party Purchaser (as relevant).

18.5

Any transfer of Shares pursuant to this Clause shall be completed and carried out on the terms set out in Clause 22 below within sixty (60) days of the relevant Sale Notice (or, if later, the date on which all necessary Regulatory Approvals are obtained). Each Shareholder and the Company shall use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that any necessary Regulatory Approvals are obtained as soon as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relevant Sale Notice and Titan's obligation to transfer its Shares shall cease to have effect if (i) any necessary Regulatory Approval is not obtained within one hundred and twenty (120) days of relevant Sale Notice or (ii) if earlier than the end of the latter period, any relevant authority conclusively refuses to grant any such Regulatory Approval.


19.	PUT OPTION


19.1	Titan irrevocably grants to each of RDIF and OEP an option (the "Put Option") to require that Titan purchase from RDIF and/or OEP all (but not some only) of their respective Shares for the Put Option Price. The Put Option shall be exercisable at any time from the third anniversary of Completion until the fifth anniversary of Completion (the "Put Option Period").


19.2	The Put Option shall be exercisable by written notice from or on behalf of RDIF and/or OEP (the Shareholder exercising the Put Option being the "Exercising Party") to Titan (the "Put Option Notice") within the Put Option Period. RDIF and OEP may exercise the Put Option separately or together within the Put Option Period.

19.3

The transfer of the Exercising Party/ies's Shares pursuant to the Put Option shall be completed and carried out on the terms set out in Clause 22 below within sixty (60) days of the Put Option Notice (or, if later, the date on which all necessary Regulatory Approvals are obtained). Each Shareholder and the Company shall use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that any necessary Regulatory Approvals are obtained as soon as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Put Option Notice and Titan's obligation to buy the Exercising Party/ies's Shares shall cease to have effect if (i) any necessary Regulatory Approval is not obtained within one hundred and twenty (120) days of Put Option Notice or (ii) if earlier, than the end of the latter period, any relevant authority conclusively refuses to grant any such Regulatory Approval. The Exercising Parties shall not be required to make any warranty to Titan, other than as to: (i) good title to the Shares it transfers; (ii) absence of any Encumbrance with respect to its Shares; and (iii) customary warranties concerning its power and authority to undertake the proposed transfer of the Shares.


19.4	For the purposes of this Clause 19, the "Put Option Price" shall be calculated by Titan as follows:

Put Option Price = (A / B) x ((LTM EBITDA x 5.5) - Net Debt)

where "A" is the number of Shares held by the Exercising Party on the date of the relevant Put Option Notice, "B" is the total number of Shares in issue on the date of the relevant Put Option Notice, and LTM EBITDA and Net Debt shall be measured on (or on a date as near as practicable following) the date of the relevant Put Option Notice.

19.5

Titan shall notify the Exercising Party/ies's in writing of its calculation of the Put Option Price within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the relevant Put Option Notice (a "Put Option Price Notice". If an Exercising Party disagrees with Titan's calculation of the Put Option Price, then it may notify Titan (copied to the other Exercising Party where there are two) in writing of such disagreement within ten (10) Business Days after receiving the Put Option Price Notice (an “Objection Notice”). An Objection Notice shall set out reasonable details of the disagreement and the Exercising Party's or Exercising Parties' alternative calculations, as

well as the Exercising Party's or Exercising Parties' nominations under Clause 19.6 below for the role of the Expert. If the disagreement is not resolved to the satisfaction of the Shareholders within five (5) Business Days after the Objection Notice is served, the Put Option Price shall be determined by an independent expert (the “Expert”) in accordance with Clauses 19.6 to 19.12 below.


19.6	The Expert shall be one of the Permitted Accountancy Firms (who shall not be the Auditor). The Shareholder serving any Objection Notice shall nominate two such accounting firms to act as the Expert, and Titan shall select one of such nominees, who shall be the Expert, by no later than five (5) Business Days following the receipt of any Objection Notice by the other Shareholder.


19.7	The Shareholders shall procure that the Company and the Subsidiaries provide to the Expert all reasonable assistance and information necessary to review and assess Titan's calculation of the Put Option Price and Titan shall provide the Expert with access to all of its working papers.


19.8	The Expert shall determine the Put Option Price. Within twenty (20) Business Days of his appointment the Expert must give written notice to the Shareholders of the Put Option Price. The Expert shall be obliged to include written reasons for his determination in the notice to the Shareholders.


19.9	The Expert shall be deemed to act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and, save in the case of fraud or manifest error, his determination shall be final and binding on all concerned.


19.10	If, by the time of the appointment of the Expert, the Shareholders have not agreed the procedure to be followed by the Expert in arriving at his decision, the Expert shall be entitled to determine the procedure. The Expert shall be entitled to appoint legal or other advisers if appropriate.


19.11	The Exercising Party/ies (on the one hand) and Titan (on the other) shall each bear one half of the Expert’s costs, unless the Expert issues a determination which fully endorses and confirms one Shareholder's calculation of the matters which are the subject of the Objection Notice, in which case the Expert's costs shall be borne solely by the other Shareholders.


19.12	If any difficulty arises in determining the Put Option Price then the Expert shall resolve that difficulty in such manner as he shall in his absolute discretion think fit.


20.	SETTLEMENT OPTIONS

Settlement Put Option

20.1

Titan irrevocably grants to each of RDIF and OEP an option (the "Settlement Put Option") to require that Titan purchases from RDIF and/or OEP all (but not some only) of their respective Shares for the Settlement Option Price. The Settlement Put Option shall be exercisable at any time from the fifth anniversary of Completion until the expiry of six months from that date (the "Settlement Option Period").


20.2	The Settlement Put Option shall be exercisable by written notice from or on behalf of RDIF and/or OEP to Titan (the "Settlement Put Option Notice") within the Settlement Option Period. RDIF and OEP may exercise the Settlement Put Option separately or together within the Settlement Option Period.

Settlement Call Option


20.3	RDIF and OEP each irrevocably grant to Titan an option (the "Settlement Call Option") to require that RDIF and/or OEP sell to Titan all (but not some only) of their respective Shares for the Settlement Option Price, which price must be specified in cash. The Settlement Call Option shall be exercisable at any time within the Settlement Option Period.

20.4

The Settlement Call Option shall be exercisable by written notice from or on behalf of Titan to RDIF and/or OEP (the "Settlement Call Option Notice") within the Settlement Option Period. Titan may exercise the Settlement Call Option in respect of the Shares held by RDIF and Shares held by OEP at the same time or on in respect of the Shares held by either on separate occasions within the Settlement Option Period (or in respect of the Shares held by one only and not the other).

20.5

The transfer of RDIF's and/or OEP's Shares pursuant to the Settlement Put Option or the Settlement Call Option (the Shareholder transferring its Shares being the "Selling Party") shall be completed and carried out on the terms set out in Clause 22 below within sixty (60) days of the relevant Settlement Option Notice (or, if later, the date on which all necessary Regulatory Approvals are obtained). Each Shareholder and the Company shall use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that any necessary Regulatory Approvals are obtained as soon as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relevant Settlement Option Notice and Titan's obligation to buy the Selling Party/ies's Shares shall cease to have effect if (i) any necessary Regulatory Approval is not obtained within one hundred and twenty (120) days of relevant Settlement Option Notice or (ii) if earlier than the end of the latter period, any relevant authority conclusively refuses to grant any such Regulatory Approval. The Selling Shareholder shall not be required to make any warranty to Titan,

other than as to: (i) good title to the Shares it transfers; (ii) absence of any Encumbrance with respect to its Shares; and (iii) customary warranties concerning its power and authority to undertake the proposed transfer of the Shares.


20.6	For the purposes of this Clause 20, the "Settlement Option Price" for the Shares being sold by a Selling Party shall be calculated by Titan as the greater of:


20.6.1	the product of: (A / B) x ((LTM EBITDA x 5.5) - Net Debt),

where "A" is the number of Shares held by the relevant Selling Party on the date of the relevant Settlement Option Notice, "B" is the total number of Shares in issue on the date of the relevant Settlement Option Notice, and LTM EBITDA and Net Debt shall be measured on (or on a date as near as practicable following) the date of the relevant Settlement Option Notice; and

20.6.2

an amount equal to the aggregate of (i) the Investment Amount of the relevant Selling Party; and (ii) such amount as would, when aggregated with the amount of dividends and/or distributions received by the relevant Selling Party from the Company from the date of Completion, represent an IRR for that Selling Party of 8 per cent. per annum in respect of the Shares held by that Selling Party from Completion until the date of completion of the sale of that Selling Party's Shares to Titan.


20.7	If a Selling Party disagrees with Titan's calculation of the Settlement Option Price, then the provisions of Clauses 19.5 to 19.12 (inclusive) shall apply mutatis mutandis.


20.8	A Shareholder may serve only one Settlement Option Notice. If RDIF and/or OEP serve a Settlement Put Option Notice and Titan serves a Settlement Call Option Notice in respect of the same Shares, only the first Settlement Option Notice to be served shall be effective.


20.9	Subject to Clause 20.8, where a Shareholder serves a Settlement Option Notice such service shall not prejudice any other Shareholders' right to serve a Settlement Option Notice in accordance with this Clause.


21.	ISSUES OF NEW SECURITIES


21.1	Without prejudice to Clause 9.2.2, the Company shall not issue or sell, agree to issue or sell, or reserve or set aside for issuance or sale any Shares or rights to any Shares or any other instruments convertible into Shares ("New Securities"), unless the Company shall have first complied with Clauses 21.2 and 21.3.


21.2	If the Company proposes to issue New Securities then, subject to the Supervisory Board Reserved Matters:

21.2.1

the New Securities shall be offered for subscription in cash and on the same terms to each Shareholder pro rata to its Equity Proportion (as nearly as may be) (as at the close of business on the date prior to such offer) (a Shareholder’s "Pro Rata Entitlement"), provided (for the avoidance of doubt) that each A Shareholder shall be offered A Shares in a number calculated pro rata to its Equity Proportion of all Shares in issue, and each B Shareholder shall be offered B Shares in a number calculated pro rata to its Equity Proportion of all Shares in issue, and that the New Securities shall be offered on the basis that each Shareholder may take up all or part or none of the New Securities offered to it;

21.2.2

each offer shall be made by notice from the Company (the "Issue Notice") specifying (i) the number of New Securities to which the relevant Shareholder is entitled, (ii) the price per New Securities (the "Subscription Price") (which shall be established in accordance with Clause 21.3) and (iii) a time (being not less than twenty-one (21) days from the date of the Issue Notice) within which, if the offer is not accepted, it will be deemed to be declined;

21.2.3

each Shareholder who accepts the offer by notice to the Company shall, in addition, state either (i) that it would accept, on the same terms, New Securities (specifying a maximum number) that are not accepted by the other Shareholders ("Excess Shares") or (ii) that it would not accept any Excess Shares (and, if a Shareholder who accepts the offer fails to make a confirmation in the terms of (i) or (ii), it shall be deemed to have made a confirmation in the terms of (ii));


21.2.4	on expiry of the acceptance period referred to in Clause 21.2.2, New Securities shall be allocated to each Shareholder who has applied for its Pro Rata Entitlement (or less than its Pro Rata Entitlement);

21.2.5

Excess Shares shall be allocated to each Shareholder, who has indicated that it will accept Excess Shares, pro rata to the Equity Proportions of all those Shareholders (including those Shareholders holding Shares of a different class to the Shareholder to be allotted Excess Shares) who have indicated that they would accept Excess Shares (provided that no Shareholder shall be allocated more than the maximum number of Excess Shares that it has indicated it is willing to accept);


21.2.6	for the avoidance of doubt, (i) if any A Shareholder indicates that it is willing to accept Excess Shares, and one or more B Shareholders do not accept their full Pro Rata Entitlement of New

Securities, then all of the Excess Shares to be allotted to such A Shareholder shall be A Shares, and (ii) if any B Shareholder indicates that it is willing to accept Excess Shares, and one or more A Shareholders do not accept their full Pro Rata Entitlement of New Securities, then all of the Excess Shares to be allotted to such B Shareholder shall be B Shares;

21.2.7

if (after the first allocation of Excess Shares) there remain Excess Shares which have not been allocated and one or more Shareholders (the "Remaining Shareholders") have indicated in their response to the Issue Notice that they will accept more Excess Shares than they have been allocated, the remaining Excess Shares shall be allocated to the Remaining Shareholders pro rata to the Equity Proportions of the Remaining Shareholders; Excess Shares shall continue to be allocated on this basis until either all Excess Shares are allocated or all requests for Excess Shares are satisfied; and


21.2.8	where any allocation under this Clause 21 would result in a fractional allotment of New Securities, the Supervisory Board may, in its absolute discretion, round up or down such fractional allotments so that the offers and/or allotments of New Securities by the Company are of whole numbers of shares (totalling the number of shares for which the Shareholders have given approval for issue).


21.3	The Subscription Price shall be determined by the Supervisory Board (acting reasonably) as at the date Supervisory Board consent is given to the issue (in accordance with Clause 9), and shall not be less than the fair market value for each New Security (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Subscription Price for A Shares and B Shares which are New Securities shall be equal).


22.	TRANSFER TERMS


22.1	This Clause sets out the terms on which any Shares are to be transferred pursuant to Clauses 15 to 21 above.


22.2	In this Clause:


22.2.1	"Buyer" means the purchaser(s) of any Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;


22.2.2	"Outgoing Parties’ Loans" means any loans owing at that time from any Group Company to the Sellers or any member of their group;

22.2.4	"Sellers" means the seller(s) of any Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;


22.2.5	"Transferring Shares" means the Shares being sold or transferred.


22.3	Any transfer of the Transferring Shares shall be on the following terms (the "Transfer Terms"):


22.3.1	the Transferring Shares will be sold free from all liens, charges and encumbrances and third party rights, but together with all rights of any nature attaching to them including all rights to any dividends or other distributions declared, paid or made after the date of the Relevant Notice;

22.3.2

with effect from the date of completion (the "Transfer Date"), the Buyer shall (i) take an assignment of, or make available equivalent finance in place of, the Outgoing Parties Loans and (ii) assume any obligations of the Sellers and any other members of their group under (and shall procure the release of) any guarantees, indemnities, letters of comfort and/or counter indemnities to third parties in relation to the business of the Group (the "Liabilities"). This is without prejudice to the right of the Buyer to receive a contribution from the Sellers for their share of any claims attributable to any Liabilities arising in respect of the period before the Transfer Date;

22.3.3

the Seller and the Buyer shall procure that a notarial deed of share transfer in respect of the Transferring Shares shall be executed and that the Company shall acknowledge the transfer of the Transferring Shares and the Buyer shall pay the consideration for the Transferring Shares to the Sellers in full by electronic transfer in immediately available funds on the Transfer Date or, where applicable, in accordance with Clause 22.9;


22.3.4	the Company shall ensure (insofar as it is able) that the relevant transfer or transfers (subject to their being duly stamped, stamp duty (where applicable) to be paid by the Buyer) are registered in the shareholders register of the Company in the name of the Buyer;


22.3.5	the Sellers shall do all such other things and execute all other documents (including any deed) as the Buyer may reasonably request to give effect to the sale and purchase of the Transferring Shares;


22.3.6	if requested by the Buyer, the Sellers shall deliver written resignations by all the Supervisory Directors and the Managing Director (to the extent applicable) appointed by them and the resignation(s) take effect without any liability on the Company or any other Group Company for compensation for loss of office or otherwise; and


22.3.7	except where this Agreement terminates as a result of the transfer, the Buyer shall enter into a Deed of Adherence attached hereto as Part A of Schedule 1 agreeing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

22.4

If the transfer is a transfer from one Shareholder to another and the Seller(s) fail(s) to comply with its/their obligations in Clause 22.3, the Seller(s) shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably appointed a Supervisory Director appointed or to be appointed by the Buyer to be its agent and attorney to execute and deliver the necessary instrument(s) of transfer including the notarial deed of share transfer on its/their behalf and to take all other necessary action on its behalf (against receipt of the purchase price by the Company (on trust for or on behalf of the Seller(s))) to give effect to the transfer of the Transferring Shares to the Buyer in accordance with Applicable Law. The Company may receive the purchase money in trust for or on behalf of the Seller(s) and cause the registration in the shareholders register of the Company in the name of the Buyer. The receipt by the Company of the purchase money in trust for or on behalf of the Seller(s) shall be sufficient for the final discharge (finale kwijting) to the Buyer (who shall not be bound to see to the application of those moneys).

22.5

Without limiting Clause 22.4, if the Seller(s) fail(s) to transfer any Shares in accordance with Clause 22.3, the Buyer may serve a default notice. Unless such non-compliance has been remedied to the reasonable satisfaction of the Buyer within five Business Days of service of a default notice, on and from the sixth Business Day, the defaulting Seller(s) shall not be entitled to any profits of the Company, all relevant provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed amended such that only the presence or representation of the Supervisory Directors appointed by the Shareholders other than the Seller(s) (in case of Supervisory Board meetings) and/or the presence or representation of the Shareholders other than the Seller(s) (in case of Shareholders' meetings) are required to validly approve decisions laid down in such meetings, and the provisions of Clauses 26.3(A) and 26.3(B) shall apply, such that references therein to the "Defaulting Shareholder" shall be deemed to be references to any Seller in default of its obligations under Clause 22.3.


22.6	If there is more than one Buyer, the Buyers shall acquire the Transferring Shares, and shall otherwise perform the obligations of the "Buyer" under this Clause 22, in their respective Equity Proportions.


22.7	The Shareholders agree that, if at any time OEP and/or RDIF proposes to transfer any B Shares to any A Shareholder then all such B Shares shall be reclassified as or converted into A Shares as soon as possible following the completion of such transfer and the other Shareholders and the Company shall fully cooperate with such reclassification or conversion.


22.8	The Shareholders agree that, if at any time any A Shares are proposed to be transferred to OEP and/or RDIF, all such A Shares shall be reclassified as or converted into B Shares as soon as possible following the completion of such transfer and the other Shareholders and the Company shall fully cooperate with such reclassification or conversion.

Cash Alternative

22.9

Any amount due from Titan to a Seller in respect of the Put Option or the Settlement Put Option may, at Titan's sole discretion (in the case of RDIF, subject to Clause 22.10, and in the case of OEP, subject to Clause 22.11)), be settled either (i) in cash or, alternatively, (ii) by procuring that, on or before the Transfer Date, Titan US allot and issue to the relevant Seller (or its nominee) (credited as fully paid and non-assessable) common stock (rounded to the nearest whole number) in the capital of Titan US (which common stock shall rank pari passu with other common stock of the capital of Titan US in all respects) free and clear of any Encumbrances with a net economic value in USD to the Sellers (calculated on the basis of the three-month volume weighted average share price applying to Titan US's common stock as quoted on Bloomberg or such other recognized data service provider in the period ending on the date of the Relevant Notice) equal to the amount due to such Seller (the "Cash Alternative"), provided that Titan shall not be permitted to procure the allotment and issuance of common stock in the capital of Titan US to a Seller to discharge its payment obligation in respect of the Put Option or the Settlement Put Option unless such common stock is at the time of issuance traded on a recognised stock exchange and is freely transferrable. In the event that Titan elects to settle its payment obligations under the Put Option or the Settlement Put Option (as the case may be) pursuant to the Cash Alternative, it shall give a notice to the relevant Seller setting out details of the Cash Alternative (including the number of shares in the capital of Titan US to be issued to such Seller) (the "Titan Cash Alternative Notice") at least 15 Business Days before the Transfer Date.

22.10

Following receipt of a Titan Cash Alternative Notice, RDIF shall have the right at any time within ten (10) Business Days after receiving the Titan Cash Alternative Notice to give a notice to Titan confirming its intention to dispose of, directly or indirectly, all of the common stock to be issued to RDIF (or its nominee) pursuant to the Cash Alternative (the "Cash Alternative Shares") as soon as practicable after the Transfer Date, but in any event by no later than six (6) weeks immediately after the Transfer Date. If the net proceeds actually received by RDIF from such disposal (calculated taking into account any reasonable transaction

costs and expenses (including any transaction Taxes accruing directly from such disposal) incurred by or on behalf of RDIF in connection with the disposal) are less than the amount due to RDIF pursuant to the Put Option or the Settlement Put Option (the amount of any such difference being the "Shortfall"), then Titan shall pay to RDIF the amount equal to the Shortfall on demand in writing by wire transfer to an account specified by RDIF in such written demand within five (5) Business Days of such written demand. Titan and RDIF shall cooperate with each other in connection with the disposal of the Cash Alternative Shares to minimize any volatility in the price of the Titan US common stock and also the quantum of any Shortfall.

22.11

Following receipt of a Titan Cash Alternative Notice, a holder of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of OEP (an "OEP Seller") shall have the right at any time within ten (10) Business Days after receiving the Titan Cash Alternative Notice to give a notice to Titan electing to sell all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of OEP to Titan (which election shall occur instead of OEP selling any Shares referred to in Clauses 19 and 20), whereupon:


22.11.1	all references to Shares held by OEP in Clause 19 (Put Option) and/or Clause 20 (Settlement Options), as the case may be, shall be deemed to be references to shares representing all of the issued and outstanding share capital of OEP (the "OEP Shares") (for the avoidance of doubt, such shares in the capital of OEP to be Transferring Shares, as contemplated by Clause 22.2.5);


22.11.2	OEP shall procure that each OEP Seller shall adhere to the terms of this Agreement for purposes of effecting the transfer of the OEP Shares to Titan by executing and delivering a Deed of Adherence attached hereto as Part B of Schedule 1; and

22.11.3

without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Clause 22 (and notwithstanding any provision of Clause 19 (Put Option) and/or Clause 20 (Settlement Options), as the case may be), each OEP Seller shall, on the date of any election notice contemplated by this Clause 22.11, and the date of any transfer of OEP Shares, be deemed to warrant to Titan in the terms of the OEP Warranties.


23.	ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND DISTRIBUTIONS


23.1	The Shareholders and the Company agree that the Supervisory Directors of the Company shall resolve on any decision to pay any dividend or make any distribution by any other means, subject to and taking into account Applicable Law.


23.2	The Shareholders and the Company agree that, subject to Clause 23.1, whenever the amount of a dividend or distribution to be paid falls to be ascertained by the Company or any Group Company:


23.2.1	the total profits of the Company or that Group Company available for distribution ("Distributable Profits") shall be as determined by the auditors of that company in accordance with Applicable Law;


23.2.2	the Supervisory Directors of the Company shall identify amounts ("Retained Amounts") which they consider (having regard to all other sources of funding available to the Group) should be retained in order:


(A)	to repay all principal and interest amounts outstanding in respect of any outstanding Titan Loan;


(B)	to meet reasonably foreseeable commitments and contingencies;


(C)	to develop the Business in accordance with the Business Plan (when in force) and the then current Budget;


(D)	to fund any capital expenditure approved in accordance with Clause 9.2.6;


(E)	to ensure that there is no breach of any covenant or undertaking given by the Company or that Group Company to any lender at the time of the payment and, in the opinion of the relevant board, there is not likely to be such a breach within the following twelve (12) months; and


(F)	to maintain the sound financial standing of the Company or that Group Company and of the Group (taken as a whole).

23.3

The Shareholders may agree from time to time in relation to any financial year (unless any additional funds are required to be retained in connection with any matter resolved upon pursuant to any Reserved Matter) to procure (to the extent that they are lawfully able) that in respect of such financial year the Supervisory Board declares a final dividend of not less than a minimum percentage agreed by the Shareholders of the balance (if any) remaining after deducting the Retained Amounts from the Distributable Profits.

23.4

A resolution or decision to make any distribution or pay any dividend shall have no effect until the Management Board has approved such distribution or dividend to the extent required under Applicable Laws. The Management Board shall only refuse to grant such approval in the event the Management Board is aware or should reasonably be aware that the Company shall, as a result of the envisaged distribution or dividend,

no longer be able to continue to pay its due and payable debt.


24.	AMENDMENTS

A variation of this Agreement (or of any of the documents referred to in it) is valid only if it is in writing and signed by or on behalf of each Party (except that (i) a variation of any provision of this Agreement which only affects the respective rights and obligations of the Shareholders or any of them as between themselves shall require the agreement of the Shareholders but not the Company, and (ii) the agreement of Titan US shall only be required in respect of a variation of Clauses 1, 19, 20, 24, 28, 29.9, 29.10, 29.11, Error!

25.2	The Company is not bound by any provision of this Agreement to the extent that it constitutes an unlawful xxxxxx on any statutory power of the Company.

If an Event of Default is committed by a Shareholder (a "Defaulting Shareholder"), any other Shareholder (each a "Non-Defaulting Shareholder") may (acting reasonably and in good faith) serve notice on the Defaulting Shareholder stating that it considers an Event of Default to have been committed by the Defaulting Shareholder (such notice to set out in reasonable detail the bases on which the Non-Defaulting Shareholder has made such conclusion) (a "Default Notice"), and:


26.2.1	in the event that the matter described in any Default Notice is capable of remedy, requiring the Defaulting Shareholder to remedy such matter as soon as practicable, but in any event by no later than 15 Business Days following the date on which the Default Notice is served; or


26.2.2	in the event that the matter described in any Default Notice is not capable of remedy, notifying the Defaulting Shareholder of its intention to exercise its rights under this Clause 26 by no earlier than 10 Business Days following the date on which the Default Notice is served.


26.3	In the event that:


26.3.1	in the case of any Default Notice served pursuant to Clause 26.2.1, any matter described in such Default Notice is not remedied to the Non-Defaulting Shareholders satisfaction (acting reasonably and in good faith) by the date required for such remedy in the Default Notice; or


26.3.2	in the case of any Default Notice served pursuant to Clause 26.2.2, following the expiry of the period referred to in the Default Notice, the Non-Defaulting Shareholder still elects to exercise its rights under this Clause 26,

then, without prejudice to the Defaulting Shareholder's obligations under this Agreement and to any other rights or remedies available to any of the other Parties with respect to the Defaulting Shareholder, the Non-Defaulting Shareholder(s) shall be entitled by further notice in writing to the Defaulting Shareholder (copied to the Company) at any time whilst such Event of Default subsists to require:


(A)	that the Defaulting Shareholder shall not exercise its right to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company or execute written resolutions;


(B)	that any Supervisory Director nominated for appointment by the Defaulting Shareholder shall be suspended; and

(C)

in the case of any Event of Default contemplated by this Clause 26, the rights of the Defaulting Shareholder, and the obligations of the Company and the other Shareholder(s) (including, without limitation, any payment obligations) under this Agreement and any Transaction Document in favour of the Defaulting Shareholder may be suspended and/or terminated at the Non-Defaulting Shareholder(s)'s discretion,

and, in the circumstances described in Clauses 26.3(A) and 26.3(B) above, the Defaulting Shareholder or the Supervisory Directors nominated for appointment by the Defaulting Shareholder (as applicable) shall not be required to count towards a quorum of the relevant meeting.

26.4

Pursuant to the right granted to them under the Articles, the Shareholders agree, and give notice of such agreement to the Company, that whenever any notice is given pursuant to Clause 26.3 above, no Supervisory Director who is the subject of such notice shall be required in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of the Supervisory Board, and the quorum requirements for meetings of the Supervisory Board as set out in the Articles shall, in those circumstances, be construed accordingly.

Consequences of a Titan Event of Default


26.5	If a Titan Event of Default occurs, RDIF or OEP may (acting reasonably and in good faith) serve notice on Titan stating that it considers a Titan Event of Default to have occurred (such notice to set out in reasonable detail the bases on which RDIF and/or OEP has made such conclusion) (a "Titan Default Notice"), and:


26.5.1	in the event that the matter described in any Titan Default Notice is capable of remedy, requiring Titan to remedy such matter as soon as practicable, but in any event by no later than 15 Business Days following the date of the Titan Default Notice; or


26.5.2	in the event that the matter described in any Titan Default Notice is not capable of remedy, notifying Titan of its intention to exercise its rights under this Clause 26 by no earlier than 10 Business Days following the date of the Titan Default Notice.


26.6	In the event that:


26.6.1	in the case of any Titan Default Notice served pursuant to Clause 26.5.1, any matter described in such Default Notice is not remedied to the Non-Defaulting Shareholders satisfaction (acting reasonably and in good faith) by the date required for such remedy in the Default Notice; or


26.6.2	in the case of any Titan Default Notice served pursuant to Clause 26.5.2, following the expiry of the period referred to in the Titan Default Notice, RDIF and/or OEP still elect to exercise its/their rights under this Clause 26,

then, without prejudice to Titan's and Titan US's obligations under this Agreement and to any other rights or remedies available to any of the other Parties with respect to Titan and Titan US, RDIF and OEP (acting together) shall be entitled by further notice in writing to Titan (copied to the Company) (a "Company Sale Notice") at any time whilst such Titan Event of Default subsists to sell all (and not some only) of their Shares on a bona fide arms’ length sale to a Third Party Purchaser, and require Titan to sell to such Third Party Purchaser all the Shares held by Titan (a "Company Sale").


26.7	The Company Sale Notice shall specify:


26.7.1	the name(s) of the proposed Third Party Purchaser;


26.7.2	the terms of transfer of the Shares; and


26.7.3	the anticipated price per Share payable to Titan assuming a distribution in accordance with Clause 26.10.

26.8

Where RDIF and OEP are exercising their rights under Clause 26.6, Clauses 16 and 17 shall not apply and the sale of the Shares held by Titan pursuant to this Clause 26 shall be conditional upon completion of the sale of RDIF and OEP's Shares and shall be completed at the same time as that sale and shall be made on the same terms and conditions as described in the Company Sale Notice. Titan agrees to give to the transferee the following warranties, in each case on a several basis and on substantially the same terms as given by RDIF and OEP:


26.8.1	warranties as to good title to the Shares it transfers;


26.8.2	warranties as to absence of any Encumbrance with respect to its Shares;


26.8.3	customary warranties concerning its power and authority to undertake the proposed transfer of the Shares; and


26.8.4	such limited business warranties regarding operational matters as are agreed by Titan, RDIF and OEP to be given by Titan, RDIF and OEP at the relevant time and for these purposes:


(A)	RDIF, OEP and Titan shall use their best efforts to agree the terms of such limited business warranties and any related disclosures against such warranties between themselves and with the relevant Third Party Purchaser; and


(B)	Titan agrees that it shall not take any action the main purpose of which is to frustrate or delay the sale of the Shares to the Third Party Purchaser (without prejudice to Titan's right to act in its own best interest).

26.9

Any transfer of Shares pursuant to this Clause shall be completed and carried out on the terms set out in Clause 22 within sixty (60) days of the relevant Company Sale Notice (or, if later, the date on which all necessary Regulatory Approvals are obtained). Each Shareholder and the Company shall use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that any necessary Regulatory Approvals are obtained as soon as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relevant Company Sale Notice and Titan's obligation to transfer its Shares shall cease to have effect if (i) any necessary Regulatory Approval is not obtained within one hundred and twenty (120) days of relevant Company Sale Notice or (ii) if earlier than the end of the latter period, any relevant authority conclusively refuses to grant any such Regulatory Approval.


26.10	Following a Company Sale, the Shareholders agree (and shall take such steps to procure) that the proceeds

of such a sale which are due to the Shareholders from the Third Party Purchaser shall be paid to the Shareholders in the following order of priority:

26.1.1

first, to pay each B Shareholder an amount equal to the aggregate of (i) its Investment Amount and (ii) such amount as would, when aggregated with the amount of dividends and/or distributions received by that B Shareholder from the Company, represent an IRR for that B Shareholder of 8 per cent per annum in respect of the B Shares held by that B Shareholder for the period from Completion until the date of the Company Sale Notice;

26.1.2

second, to pay the A Shareholder an amount equal to the aggregate of (i) its Investment Amount and (ii) such amount as would, when aggregated with the amount of dividends and/or distributions received by the A Shareholder from the Company, represent an IRR for the A Shareholder of 8 per cent per annum in respect of the A shares held by the A Shareholder for the period from Completion until the date of the Company Sale Notice; and


26.1.3	third, to pay any remaining proceeds to the Shareholders pro rata to their Equity Proportions.


27.	DURATION


27.1	This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the earlier of:


27.1.1	each of the Parties agreeing in writing to terminate this Agreement;


27.1.2	any transfer of Shares as a result of which all of the Shares are held by one Shareholder; and


27.1.3	a resolution being passed or a binding order being made for the winding-up of the Company,

whereupon, subject to the provisions of this Clause 27, this Agreement shall terminate and cease to have force and effect.


27.2	In addition, save as provided in this Agreement, the rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as regards any Shareholder upon such Shareholder (and all members of such Shareholder's group) ceasing to hold any Shares.


27.3	Termination of this Agreement, or of the rights and obligations of any Party under this Agreement, shall not:


27.3.1	relieve any Party from any liability or obligation for any matter, undertaking or condition which has not been done, observed or performed by that Party before such termination;


27.3.2	affect the terms of any agreement replacing this Agreement entered into by the Parties (or any of them);


27.3.3	affect the terms of the Surviving Provisions; or


27.3.4	affect the Shareholders' continuing obligations under Clause 13 and the corresponding rights of the other Parties to enforce the same.


28.	GUARANTEE

Titan US hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each of OEP and RDIF performance of obligations of Titan set out in Clauses 19, 20 and 22.9 on the terms set out in Schedule 7 (Guarantee) at the date of this Agreement.

SCHEDULE 2

ANTI-CORRUPTION COMPOLIANCE PROGRAMME


1.	Scope

This Policy applies to all of the Group Companies and their affiliates and offices world-wide, as well as to their employees, certain agents, consultants or other third parties whom Group Company engages to act on its behalf. It reiterates each Group Company’s zero tolerance policy for bribery, sets out such company’s standards in complying with applicable anti-corruption laws, and identifies legal and compliance officers from whom certain approvals must be obtained and with whom questions about this Policy may be raised.


2.	Designated Compliance Personnel

For each Group Company line of business certain personnel have received specialized training on the anti-corruption laws of the countries and businesses for which they have legal and/or compliance responsibilities. These personnel have been given the responsibility for advising employees on anti-corruption issues, pre-clearing expenses involving government officials and approving the engagement of certain agents and consultants. All of these procedures are described in the following sections of this Policy. The individuals with these anti-corruption compliance responsibilities are referred to in this Policy as Compliance Personnel, and are identified in Attachment A. The Chief Compliance Officer is [name] and he/she may be reached at [contacts].


3.	Bribery Prohibited

3.1

Each Group Company has zero tolerance for bribery. No employee may directly or indirectly offer, promise, grant or authorize the giving of money or anything else of value to a government official to influence official action or obtain an improper advantage. The same applies to a representative of a non-government-owned commercial entity in a business transaction. Any offer, promise, grant or gift must comply with applicable laws and with this Policy, and must not create the appearance of impropriety. This means that no such offer, promise, grant or gift may be made if it could reasonably be understood as an effort to influence improperly a government official or representative of a non-government-owned commercial entity to grant any Group Company a business advantage. Where the recipient is a government official (as defined in Section 4), such conduct is universally prohibited by law as criminal bribery. Even where the recipient is not a government official, but is acting in a purely private commercial capacity, the laws of several countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, and The People’s Republic of China, among others, and U.S. states make such conduct a crime. The potential criminal penalties, both for the company and for individuals, are severe. Putting aside the possibility of criminal actions against the company or its employees, all employees guilty of a violation will be subject to disciplinary consequences, up to and including dismissal.


3.2	It is important to remember that the definition of a “bribe” is broader than the payment or offer of money; it can include the offer or gift of anything of value, such as, under certain circumstances:


3.2.1	Gifts


3.2.2	Hospitality, such as meals or entertainment


3.2.3	Travel, or reimbursement of travel-related expenses


3.2.4	Favouring relatives or business partners in employment with a Group Company


3.2.5	Charitable or political contributions


3.2.6	Personal advice or assistance


3.2.7	Attendance at a conference hosted or paid for by a Group Company


3.2.8	Attendance at training sessions provided by a Group Company

It makes no difference whether anything is actually given or received or whether the person to whom it is offered actually does anything in return; merely offering, or authorizing someone else to offer a bribe is prohibited. It also does not matter whether the person to whom the benefit is offered, promised or given is the same person as the public or corporate official or other person who is intended to perform their function improperly or otherwise misuse their position. For example, it would be improper to offer employment to a government official’s relative, or make a contribution to a charity recommended by the official, with the understanding that the official would as a result offer a business advantage to a Group Company.

3.3

In addition, the Policy prohibits indirect payments to government officials if the circumstances indicate that any benefit from the payment or gift may possibly be passed on to a government official either to influence official action or to gain an improper advantage. The same is true if any benefit from the payment or gift may possibly be passed on to a representative of a non-government-owned commercial entity in consideration for an improper advantage in a business transaction. This would include payments to

consultants, agents, intermediaries, business partners, or other third parties, including family members of the government official or otherwise apparently unrelated individuals or corporate entities of any type.

3.4

As a general rule, expenses will not be paid for the benefit of friends or family members of government officials. Limited exceptions, under appropriate circumstances and following close scrutiny, could include, for example, payment of expenses for a government official’s spouse or partner to attend a cocktail party or dinner hosted by a Group Company, where it would be awkward or impossible for the official to attend alone. Additionally, it is a general rule that side trips to vacation sites or other non-business-related locales will not be approved. Side trips are different from “entertainment,” and to determine whether a proposed event is “entertainment” or a “side trip” requires a Group Company approvers to consider the relationship between the various components of an expense in sum.


3.5	The hiring of relatives of, and persons referred by, government officials, is a recurring risk area under anti-corruption laws. This Policy does not prohibit the hiring of qualified personnel, but special care must be taken in the case of individuals who are relatives of, or persons referred by, government officials. A process for vetting such candidates is set forth at Attachment D.


4.	Bribery of a Government Official

Every country where a Group Company does business has laws prohibiting the bribery of its government officials. In this context, a bribe can include offering or providing to a government official some benefit for the purpose of influencing the official to grant an advantage, usually an advantage within the scope of the official’s government duties. If the intent is to obtain something from the official in exchange for providing the official with the benefit, it will not matter that the advantage conveyed by the official is something the official may otherwise have done in any event. These offenses are extremely serious and involve high risk not only to the particular Group Company, but also carry serious criminal penalties for individuals. Consequently, in addition to prohibiting such conduct, a Group Company is to maintain special procedures relating to government officials.


4.1	U.S. Public Officials. Each relevant Group Company has established procedures and guidelines to deal specifically with U.S. public officials because, in addition to anti-corruption laws, various lobbying and other domestic laws in the United States contain flat prohibitions and specific dollar limits on gifts and entertainment expenses.


4.2	All Other Government

4.2.1

Who is a Government Official? A government official is anyone who is employed by a government agency, or government controlled corporation (including a sovereign wealth fund), or public international organization (such as the European Union, the Asian Development Bank or the European Central Bank). A government official in this context is also anyone who is serving in an official or representative capacity for any government, whether actually employed by that government or not. Care must be taken in countries, such as The People’s Republic of China and Vietnam, with government-managed economies, given that corporate officials in such countries may be government officials even when performing what in other countries may be considered private roles. Officials of political parties and candidates for political office and legislative, administrative or judicial officials, regardless of whether they are elected or appointed, as well as political parties themselves, are also considered government officials for the purposes of this Policy. If in doubt, the relevant Group Company's employees should consult with the company’s Compliance Personnel.


4.2.2	What must be Pre-cleared? The law requires that a Group Company maintains strong internal controls around the payment of expenses related to government officials, as defined above.

Group Company employees must pre-clear incurring any offer, payment or provision of anything of value to a government official exceeding USD100 (or totalling more than USD500 in a single year) or the equivalent in any other currency, or such other lower limit as has been set by the company’s Chief Compliance Officer, including:

(A)

Hospitality, travel and related expenses (such as airlines, hotels, meals, entertainment and other expenses) for a government official, including but not limited to travelling to visit Group Company facilities and meet Group Company staff, or to participate in a trip or meeting to market a transaction involving the agency or government which employs the official, or to attend a conference, seminar or symposium organized or sponsored by a Group Company, or attend a Group Company training session or other meeting


(B)	Contributions to a charity or other philanthropic organization recommended by, or that would benefit, a government official


(C)	Any offer of Group Company employment to any person upon the recommendation of a government official (see Attachment D - Questionnaire Regarding Potential Referred Hire)


(D)	Gifts provided to a government official

Pre-clearance does not need to be obtained for reasonable expenses incurred for meals and entertainment of government officials if impracticable due to the event’s timing or some other unforeseen circumstance. For example, a spur-of-the-moment opportunity to dine with a government official might make pre-clearance impossible. Under such circumstances, employees should consider carefully that non-pre-cleared events of this type expose the company to greater risk than pre-cleared events, and that the decision will be closely reviewed. As outlined below in section 4.2.3, the expense must be submitted for approval, and the reason why pre-clearance was not obtained must be clearly documented.

Transparency represents the company’s best defence to a legal challenge regarding any particular expenditure related to a government official. All expenses requiring pre-clearance under the Policy should be supported by a clear and valid business purpose related to promoting, demonstrating, or explaining Group Company products or services, or executing or performing a contract. Likewise, expenses must be reasonable given their underlying business purpose.

In general, transparently documented reasonable and bona fide expenses related to the promotion, demonstration or explanation of a Group Company product or service is unlikely to pose corruption risk. On the other hand, the more lavish the expense, the easier it would be for authorities to infer corrupt intent on the part of a Group Company or the individual employee making the payment.

Of course, whether or not pre-clearance is required, no payment, gift or expense reimbursement is permitted which fails to conform to the standards set forth in this Policy, i.e., that is lavish or otherwise inappropriate, such that it is intended to, or is reasonably likely to be perceived as intended to, cause the recipient to act improperly.


4.2.3	Pre-clearance Process. Any employee who intends to make any payment, gift or reimburse an expense incurred by a government official for which pre-clearance is required, or who has incurred an expense without obtaining pre-clearance as permitted in section 4.2.2 or 4.2.5, must complete an approval request and send it for approval to the office of the Chief Compliance Officer.

4.2.4

Facilitation Payments. This Policy prohibits facilitation payments of any kind. A facilitation payment is a payment or gift given to a government official to cause the official to perform a routine duty or function, or to expedite such performance. Irrespective of how common such payments may be according to local custom in any relevant jurisdiction, such payments are prohibited by this Policy. Payments offered to facilitate passage through customs, or to obtain quicker service from a government official, are considered facilitation payments.

4.2.5

Extortionate Payments. Extortion occurs when the person demanding the payment instils in the payer the fear that, absent payment, the payer will suffer physical, economic or other harm. Extortion includes demands for payment accompanied by an unlawful threat to an employee’s personal safety or freedom of movement. It also may include the threat to refuse to perform, or delay purposefully the performance of, routine duties that would cause a Group Company to suffer economic hardship or loss. All demands for extortionate payments must be reported to the Chief Compliance officer or his or her designees.

Absent unusual circumstances, such as where the personal safety or freedom of movement of an employee or family member is at risk if such a payment is not made, a Group Company will not make extortionate payments.

If possible, one of the company’s Compliance Personnel should be contacted, and pre-clearance should be obtained from one of such personnel, prior to making any extortionate payment. Emergency situations may dictate that such payments cannot be pre-cleared, e.g., if an improper payment is demanded to secure the release of an employee’s personal baggage at an airport. As outlined in section 4.2.3, the expense must thereafter be submitted for approval, and the reason why pre-clearance was not obtained must be clearly documented.


4.2.6	Cash Disbursements. As a general rule, no payments of any kind, including per diem or xxxxx cash disbursements, should be made directly to a government official. Apart from reasonable expenses of the kind described herein, a Group Company must not compensate a government official for travel or otherwise. If travel reimbursements are required, payments should be made to the

government official’s agency, not directly to the official. Receipts must be collected and documented at the Group Company.


5.	Commercial Bribery

This Policy prohibits commercial bribery, in addition to bribery of government officials. A commercial bribe occurs when a person confers, or offers or agrees to confer, any benefit upon the recipient with the intent to influence improperly the recipient’s conduct in relation to their employer’s business affairs. The influence would be improper where intended to cause the recipient to breach an expectation that the recipient will act in good faith, or with impartiality, or consistently with their fiduciary duties, or where the receipt of the benefit is itself otherwise improper under some requirement (legal or otherwise) applicable to that person. This means that no such offer, promise, grant or gift may be made if it could reasonably be understood as an effort to influence improperly a representative of a non-government-owned commercial entity to grant a Group Company a business advantage. Likewise, it would be improper for any employee of a Group Company to solicit or accept such a benefit.

As noted above, in certain U.S. states, and in certain jurisdictions, such as the U.K. and The People’s Republic of China, commercial bribery is a crime. As with bribery of government officials, in commercial bribery it does not matter if any payment or benefit is actually made or received, or if anything is actually done by the recipient; it is improper simply to offer or to solicit such a payment or benefit. It also does not matter whether the person to whom the benefit is offered, promised or given is the same person as the person who is to perform improperly the relevant function.

5.1

Receiving a Bribe. This Policy prohibits all Group Companies' employees from using their positions to solicit, demand, accept, obtain or be promised advantages. Such conduct would violate this Policy, and could also violate criminal law. For that reason, no Group Companies' employees may request or receive from outside the particular Group Company anything of value from another company or individual in the course of their employment and which may affect, or have the appearance of affecting, the performance of that employment. Reciprocity in paying for meals, taxis, and other minor expenses shared with a private counter-party is not intended to be prohibited, but if there are any doubts about the content of this rule please consult one of the company’s Compliance Personnel.

5.2

Paying a Bribe. As noted above, this Policy prohibits all Group Companies' employees from paying bribes, not just to government officials, but also to representatives of private customers, suppliers, and other counter-parties. More is at issue than simply ensuring that corporate resources are not wasted or spent excessively. Employees are prohibited from offering or providing a benefit that is lavish or otherwise inappropriate to someone, such that it is intended to, or is reasonably likely to be perceived as intended to, cause the recipient to act improperly, as this Policy describes above.


6.	Agents, Finders, Business Development Consultants, and other Third Parties

No individual or entity may be hired to commit bribery on behalf of a Group Company. Special care must be taken when a Group Company engages the services of an agent, consultant or other third party (“consultant”), when the consultant is expected to assist in developing business with potential customers (whether government- or non-government-owned) or where the consultant will be involved in seeking, obtaining, or lobbying for any government approvals or action. Such consultants include finders, sales and marketing firms, as well as agents engaged to obtain licenses or other government approvals to enable a Group Company to operate its facilities or conduct its business. The Policy’s scope encompasses any consultant that acts for a Group Company, even if in relation to a single transaction that is the subject of the agreement. Group Companies' personnel are required to take steps to ensure that such consultants fully comply with applicable anti-corruption laws and such Group Company policies. Lawyers, public relations consultants, accountants, and other third parties whose purpose is to assist the company to obtain or retain business are covered by this policy.

Any payment to a consultant of a fee of USD10,000 or more (including a series of payments aggregating USD10,000 or more which relate to a single transaction) must be approved by the Chief Compliance Officer.

6.1

Pre-hire Due Diligence Required. Before engaging such a consultant, the employee proposing the engagement must confer with the Chief Compliance Officer or his or her designee to determine how the employee should conduct appropriate due diligence. This may include, as considered appropriate by the Chief Compliance Officer or his or her designee, the engagement of internal or external investigators or other providers of due diligence information or intelligence services. The employee must complete and deliver to the Chief Compliance Officer or his or her designee an Engagement Form attached as Attachment

B to this Policy that includes certain information about the proposed consultant, reflects the due diligence performed by the employee and describes, among other things, the particular reason for the engagement, the proposed consultant’s present or prior relationship with officers or officials of relevant potential customers, who (if anyone) recommended the engagement of the consultant, justification for the proposed fee and explanation of the arrangements for payment. The proposed agent or consultant must meet (in-person or by phone) the Chief Compliance Officer or his or her designee, and the engagement must be approved by that individual. Consulting engagements which were already in existence when this Policy became effective should be promptly reviewed consistently with the foregoing process and be brought into compliance within 6 months.


6.2	Certain Consultants Prohibited. No consultant should be proposed for consideration if:


6.2.1	the consultant has a reputation for corruption;


6.2.2	there is reason to believe that the consultant is likely to make improper payments or gifts while working for a Group Company;


6.2.3	the consultant requests that his or her identity be kept secret;


6.2.4	the consultant requests (without a reasonable commercial justification) that he or she be paid offshore, or up front, or in cash; or


6.2.5	there are other suspicious circumstances or “red flags” that are not satisfactorily resolved.

The Engagement Form referenced in Section 6.1 above requires Group Company's employee proposing the consultant to certify that they have undertaken adequate and appropriate due diligence with regard to the consultant and, to the best of their knowledge, they are not aware of the existence of any information, including but not limited to the reasons detailed in this Policy, that would prohibit the consultant from being engaged by a Group Company.


6.3	Training; Contracts. Consultants who are engaged must be apprised in writing of this Policy and, where appropriate, participate in further training.

The Chief Compliance Officer or his or her designee must confirm and document that the consultant was apprised of the Policy. The Group Company line of business responsible for the hire must provide and document any required additional training. After a consultant is hired, the Group Company line of business responsible for the hire must perform and document ongoing due diligence and training, as appropriate.

The consultant will also be required to enter into a written agreement with the Group Company that includes anti-corruption provisions in the form attached as Attachment C to this Policy; any variations to these provisions (to take into account local laws or other considerations) must be approved by the appropriate Designated Legal/Compliance Officer.


7.	Merger and Acquisition Activity

Merger and acquisition activity is extraordinary activity that is undertaken only after approval by the company’s board of directors, and is usually undertaken with the assistance of outside legal counsel. No merger and acquisition activity may be undertaken without appropriate anti-corruption due diligence. Furthermore, to the extent feasible, and within the scope of their responsibilities in a merger and acquisition activity, company personnel shall work with the merger and acquisition team to plan, implement, and analyze anti-corruption due diligence information, and to take steps to assure that the company obtains in the negotiations for acquisition of a business or a part of a business representations, warranties, indemnities, and exit rights that protect the company in the event anti-corruption liabilities are discovered at the target company or other business. A copy of the due diligence checklist and merger and acquisition deal terms that are to be used absent the approval of the company’s General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer in any merger and acquisition transaction are appended to this Policy as Attachment E.


8.	Business Partners, Joint Ventures, Subcontractors, and Distributors

As with consultants, a Group Company may be held responsible for the conduct of those whom we hire to conduct business on our behalf or with whom we join to conduct business. Therefore, appropriate due diligence must be performed to determine that these entities understand our anti-corruption policies and have policies and procedures that are consistent with our own. Due diligence also should be performed to determine whether these entities are owned by or affiliated with any Government Entity.

Group Companies' employees are required to take steps to ensure that any business partners, joint venture partners, subcontractors, distributors or any other individuals or companies hired to conduct business on behalf of a particular Group Company and over which such Group Company has direct control develop and implement anti-corruption policies consistent with the general principles of this Policy. All such individuals

or companies over which such Group Company does not have direct control should be required contractually (and where not legally possible be appropriately encouraged) to adhere to the general principles set out in this Policy.

The terms of any business partnership, joint venture or subcontracting agreement should include terms similar to those set forth for consultants in Attachment C, subject to variation only as approved by the Chief Compliance Officer or his or her designee. In the case of significant and strategic joint ventures, as determined by the General Counsel and the Chief Compliance Officer, the deal terms identified in Attachment F, to the extent feasible, must also be sought in the contract(s) establishing the joint venture.


9.	Political and Charitable Contributions

Use of Group Company's resources to make or solicit contributions to political parties or candidates, or to charitable organizations, if done in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, is appropriate, but care must be taken to ensure that such activities do not create, or appear to create, an improper personal benefit covered by this Policy. Such contributions may be made on the company’s behalf only following consultation with, and approval by, the Chief Compliance Officer.


10.	Training

Each line of business or corporate group is responsible for providing appropriate training on this Policy to relevant employees and consultants (and, subject to employment law, temporary workers) at least every two years, tracking training completions, and routine reporting to management. All employees should be reminded of the importance of adherence to the policy annually via awareness bulletins or comparable communications.


11.	Reporting and Escalation of Issues

If at any time a any Group Company employee becomes aware of any activity prohibited by this Policy, or is offered a bribe by any third party, or is approached by any third party who solicits a bribe or in any way threatens the employee if a bribe is not paid, the employee should immediately contact the Chief Compliance Officer or other Compliance Personnel. Should the Chief Compliance Officer or other Compliance Personnel fail to take action to respond to such a report within 30 days, the employee shall report the matter to the audit committee of the company’s board of directors, and may do so earlier if the facts require immediate action to protect the company. Employees should be permitted to make such reports anonymously, if they so desire.

Model Contractual Provisions

[Terms of this Attachment to be prepared by the Compliance Officer]

SCHEDULE 3

SANCTIONS COMPLIANCE POLICY


1.	Sanctions Compliance Policy

This Policy addresses compliance with US economic sanctions administered by the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and applicable economic sanctions administered by other regulatory authorities in the US and other countries.

This Policy applies to the Company, all entities owned or controlled by the Company (together, the “Group”), and the employees of any Group entity.

It is the policy of the Company that no Group Company will sell any goods or services directly, or indirectly through sales agents, distributors or other third parties, to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria (“Sanctioned Countries”), or otherwise to engage in transactions involving Sanctioned Countries or Sanctioned Persons that would be prohibited under US economic sanctions or other applicable economic sanctions.

It is the policy of the Company that all Group companies will end any remaining customer relationships with Sanctioned Countries and Sanctioned Persons (as defined below) as soon as legally and practicably possible. If any Group Company has any remaining relationships with Sanctioned Countries or Sanctioned Persons (as defined below) they should promptly contact the [Legal/ Compliance] Department of the Company to discuss arrangements to terminate such relationship and any related contractual obligations.

All Employees of Group Companies must follow both the spirit and the letter of these policies and of all sanctions laws applicable (or deemed to be applicable) to them or to the Group Company.


2.	Key Terms

3.1 OFAC, within the US Department of the Treasury, administers economic sanctions targeting certain countries, individuals, entities and organizations in order to further the national security and foreign affairs objectives of the US government. Economic sanctions are also administered by national authorities in the EU and in other countries - these sanctions partially overlap with US sanctions and in other respects differ in their nature and scope.

3.2 Sanctioned Countries and Persons

•

The United States currently has broad sanctions embargoes in place against Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria, and the EU and many other countries have also imposed sanctions of varying scope relating to these countries. Certain restrictions and reporting requirements are in place for investment by US persons and US companies in Myanmar. General information on US economic sanctions can be found at: xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx. In addition, under US export control rules (which are separate from the sanctions rules), it is generally prohibited to sell or transfer to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria certain US-origin items or non-US items containing US-origin content.

•

The United States and other countries also have sanctions targeting specific persons involved with certain political organizations, such as the Taliban, or those otherwise involved with terrorism, narcotics trafficking or the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. In general terms, economic sanctions prohibit most financial transactions or dealings with the following individuals, entities, governments and countries: (i) several thousand individuals and entities included in the US list of Specially Designated Nationals (“SDN List”), which can be found at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxx; (ii) persons on a list of designated persons under economic sanctions administered by the EU, UK or other countries, as applicable; (iii) the governments of Sanctioned Countries and their agents; (iv) any person owned or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, any of the foregoing; (v) persons located within or doing business from a Sanctioned Country; and (v) armed forces and groups in Myanmar. The foregoing are referred to in this Policy as “Sanctioned Persons”.

•

A citizen or other national of Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria that is not included in the SDN List is not considered a Sanctioned Person under this Policy. There is no restriction under this Policy on hiring or otherwise dealing with such an individual, so long as he or she is not actually located within the territory of Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria and is not acting on behalf of any person in a Sanctioned Country or any person on the SDN List.


•	Under US law, all US persons must comply with US economic sanctions. “US person” is defined to include: (i) any US citizen or permanent resident alien (sometimes referred to as a “green card” holder), wherever located; (ii) any entity organized under US law; and (iii) any person located within or operating from the United States.


•	Many US sanctions are directly applicable to non-US entities owned or controlled by a US person, including many sanctions on Iran and Cuba. Some US sanctions can be applied even to non-US entities with no

ties or contact to the United States at all. Non-US companies are also subject to the applicable economic sanctions issued by other countries.


3.	Compliance Procedures


1.1	Screening of Customers and Transactions

Each Group Company will carry out appropriate screening procedures to ensure that it does not deal with any customers or third party service providers that are Sanctioned Persons or are located in Sanctioned Countries. Specific procedures for screening customers and third party service providers will be implemented locally. Generally, however, each new customer, transaction or sale should be checked against the SDN List.

If a customer raises any suspicion of being a Sanctioned Person, being affiliated with a Sanctioned Person, or shipping the goods on to a Sanctioned Country, the customer should be asked to furnish statements verifying intended use and ultimate destination of goods. In particular, these procedures should be followed if any such suspicion is raised in relation to a customer located in a country that is known to have a high volume of resales to Sanctioned Countries, such as the United Arab Emirates, Turkmenistan, Jordan, Turkey, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Cyprus and Malta. Employees at any level are authorized to delay any order that raises concerns for compliance with this Policy.


1.2	Dealings with Agents, Distributors and other Third Parties

When engaging sales representatives, advisors, agents, distributors and other third parties who will act for a Group Company to distribute or market products on the Group Company’s behalf (“Sales Representatives”), each Group Company should ensure that such arrangements do not result in transactions by that Group Company that would violate this Policy.

After the entry into force of this Policy, all existing Sales Representatives should be notified not to make sales on behalf of any Group Company on to Sanctioned Countries or Sanctioned Persons; any agreements providing for such sales should be terminated as described in Section 1 above.


•	Written contracts should be entered into with all Sales Representatives, including appropriate provisions prohibiting sales on behalf of any Group Company to Sanctioned Countries or Sanctioned Persons. Such provisions should be prepared with the input of the [Legal/ Compliance] Department of the Company.


•	Sales Representatives should, on a regular basis, submit reports on their activities on behalf of Group Companies. These reports should be reviewed by the appropriate Company employees to ensure that, among other things, transactions are not being entered into by the Sales Representatives that would violate this Policy.


•	In such cases, after consulting with the [Legal/ Compliance] Department, this Policy may be distributed to the Sales Representative, and the Sales Representative may be asked to commit to abide by this Policy.


1.3	Exports and Transfers of Goods, Software and Technology

Before carrying out any export or transfer of goods, services or technology across national borders, sales, compliance and legal personnel should work together to ensure that the relevant Group Company has a good understanding and good records regarding each of the following issues.


•	What is the item? Identify the origin, nature and technical characteristics of the goods, software or technology as necessary to determine whether it is subject to US export controls.


•	Where is it going? Identify its country of ultimate destination, and any other countries through which it will transit. Consider whether the ultimate user could be in a Sanctioned Country, particularly if the sale is to one of the countries identified in Section 1.1 above.


•	Who will receive it? Identify the ultimate end-user of the goods, services or technology and all other parties directly involved with its export, and confirm these persons are not Sanctioned Persons.

It is prohibited under this Policy to export goods to a customer, agent or distributor with the knowledge that those specific goods are destined for Sanctioned Countries or Sanctioned Persons. As a result it is important to conduct appropriate due diligence on customers, agents and distributors to understand where they intend to send Company products.


1.4	Additional Procedures for US Persons

If any Group Company has any remaining relationships with Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria or Sanctioned Persons, no board members, directors, officers or other employees who are US citizens or US permanent residents, or are based in or temporarily visiting the United States, should be involved in any related business. In addition, no

such person should be involved in helping terminate any remaining business with any such country or with Sanctioned Persons.

If any US person board member, director, officer or other employee receives e-mail or other correspondence related to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria or Sanctioned Person, he or she should send a standard reply stating that because he or she is a US person, he or she cannot review the correspondence or reply to it except to indicate that he or she is unable to be involved with the subject matter of the communication. The US Person should report the correspondence promptly to [Legal/ Compliance] Department of the Company.

Receipt by a US person of reports on prior or current periods that include information related to the termination of any remaining business with Sanctioned Countries or Sanctioned Persons is not prohibited, so long as the reports are not intended as the basis for the US Person’s involvement in related discussion, decision-making, approval, or planning. If in doubt, please contact [Legal/ Compliance] Department for guidance on the preparation or receipt of such reports.


1.5	Transactions Involving Cuba, Cuban Persons and Companies

US law provides that the US economic sanctions targeting Cuba are binding on all persons subject to US jurisdiction, which includes US persons, any non-US entity owned or controlled by US persons, and any individuals that are residents of the US. US sanctions generally prohibit persons subject to US jurisdiction from dealing with Cuba, the Cuban government, any person in Cuba, and with Cuban companies and Cuban persons located anywhere in the world. On the other hand, the laws of the EU, Canada and Mexico may seek to restrict compliance with US sanctions against Cuba.

If any Group Company has existing business, or there is any proposed business, with Cuba, Cuban companies or persons, or if any other issues arise in relation to US sanctions against Cuba, you must bring these matters to the attention of the [Legal/ Compliance] Department of the Company as soon as possible.

[Note: the legal or compliance personnel in the Company who will handle matters relating to Cuba should consult with sanctions counsel or with OEP Legal or Compliance officer to ensure they fully understand the potential application of US law prohibiting transactions with Cuba and Cuban persons, and EU and other laws that may seek to block compliance with US sanctions on Cuba].


1.6	Corporate Transactions

Guidance must be sought when engaging in mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions. A set of procedures is available upon request from the [Legal/ Compliance] Department of the Company for conducting appropriate due diligence and negotiating appropriate contractual provisions related to economic sanctions in corporate transactions.


1.7	Records

Records of transactions to which sanctions are applicable must be retained for a period of five years. Insufficient recordkeeping may be a separate violation of sanctions laws, and can lead to penalties even if the transaction itself is authorized. Contact the [Legal/ Compliance] Department of the Company with any questions relating to recordkeeping.


1.8	Communication of Concerns

Every employee must communicate any concerns identified that arise under this Policy. Employees may speak with their supervisor, a higher level of management, or the [Legal/ Compliance] Department of the Company. Employees may also raise concerns or questions through the telephone number [NUMBER] and the email address [EMAIL]. This may be done anonymously, in which case your identity and the concerns raised will remain confidential, and will be disclosed to as few people as possible.

Alternatively, for any questions regarding this Policy, please contact [NAME], [TITLE], on [PHONE], or [EMAIL].

The Company will not tolerate any form of retaliation against a person that raises a concern in good faith through any of these channels.


1.9	Disciplinary Action

Disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment may be taken (subject to applicable labor and employment laws) against any individual who (a) violates this Policy, (b) deliberately fails to report a violation as required, (c) deliberately withholds material and relevant information concerning a violation or fails to cooperate with an investigation into an actual or potential violation, or (d) is the supervisor or manager or a violator, to the extent there was a lack of reasonable leadership, supervision or diligence.

In addition, regulators may impose criminal or civil penalties on the Company or the individuals involved in any violation of economic sanctions.


4.	Responsibilities

This Policy and any major modifications or revisions to this Policy shall be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

The [Legal/ Compliance] Department of the Company is responsible for the implementation of this Policy.

All employees must follow both the spirit and the letter of the sanctions policies and laws described in this Policy. The adherence by each individual to the principles set forth herein is a significant indicator of that individual’s judgment and competence. Insensitivity to, or disregard for, these principles will be grounds for appropriate disciplinary action, including potentially dismissal.

Any questions about the application of this Policy in any particular situation should be referred to the [Legal/ Compliance] Department of the Company.


5.	Other Applicable Documents

[IDENTIFY ANY OTHER RELEVANT POLICY OR GUIDANCE DOCUMENTS].


6.	Validity
