The Lenders shall take a decision on granting Consent by holding a vote, the procedure for which is established by this Clause 23.1. In this case, the provisions of Chapter 9¹ (Decisions of Meetings) of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation shall not apply.


		Syndicated Facility Agreement dated 16 May 2016 (restated)		72

(c)

In all cases, when the Lenders vote for the purpose of the Finance Documents the vote of each Lender is equal to its Proportional Share.

(d)

The Facility Administrator, either on its own initiative or at the request of any of the Lenders or Borrowers, shall inform all the Lenders (except the Lender that is the Facility Administrator) about the issue put to a vote (“Issue put to a Vote”) by sending a notice containing a description of the Issue put to a Vote, and other information deemed necessary by the Facility Administrator (“Notice of Voting”). The Notice of Voting must indicate the deadline by which the Lenders have to send notices containing the voting results of each of the Lenders regarding the Issues put to a Vote (“Lender Decision Notice”). This deadline may not be less than 5 (five) Business Days, except when the circumstances of the Issues put to a Vote are such that the voting of Lenders needs to take place sooner.

(e)

The Lender Decision Notice must be signed by an authorised person of the relevant Lender and contain the Lender’s unequivocal answer as to whether such Lender votes for or against the granting of Consent on each of the relevant Issues put to a Vote. The Facility Administrator is not obliged to verify the authority of the person who signed the Lender Decision Notice, and has the right to presume that such person was authorised unless the relevant Lender notified the Facility Administrator prior to the date on which the relevant Lender Decision Notice was sent that such person is not an authorised representative of the relevant Lender.

(f)

If any Lender (other than the Lender that is the Facility Administrator) did not send the relevant Lender Decision Notice within the deadline specified in the Notice of Voting, the Facility Administrator shall consider that such Lender voted against the granting of Consent on the relevant Issues put to a Vote.

(g)

After the deadline for sending the Lender Decision Notice established by the relevant Notice of Voting, the Facility Administrator shall determine the number of votes of the Lenders in favour of granting Consent on each of the relevant Issues put to a Vote within 5 (five) Business Days, and shall send a notice to the Lenders and the Borrower containing the voting results on each of the Issues put to a Vote (“Voting Results Notice”).

(h)

If, in accordance with the provisions of the Finance Documents, the Consent on an Issue put to a Vote requires the votes of the Majority Lenders (but not all Lenders), the Facility Administrator shall (regardless of the expiration of the deadline established in the relevant Notice of Voting) send a Voting Results Notice within 5 (five) Business Days after receipt of the Lender Decision Notices, from which it follows that the Majority Lenders voted in favour of granting such Consent or, that Lenders, the votes of which are sufficient to prevent the Majority Lenders from granting such Consent, voted against granting such Consent.

(i)

If the Lenders whose votes are sufficient to provide such Consent in accordance with the Finance Documents, voted in favour of granting the Consent, such Consent shall be deemed to have come into effect at the time when the Facility Administrator sends the Voting Results Notice, unless a later date is specified in the corresponding Voting Results Notice.

(j)

The Notices of Voting, Lender Decision Notices and Voting Results Notices shall be sent by email and/or by fax to the email addresses or fax numbers indicated in Paragraph 25.2 (Addresses).

Each Finance Party (with the exception of the Lender that performs the functions of the Facility Administrator) hereby appoints the Facility Administrator as its agent and instructs it to perform the actions contemplated by the Finance Documents on behalf of and at the expense of that Finance Party.

(b)

For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties confirm that the Lender acting as the Facility Administrator has the same rights and obligations under the Finance Documents as any other Lender, and has the right to exercise these rights, including the right to vote when Consents are provided, and to fulfil the obligations as if it were not a Facility Administrator.

(c)

The performance by the Facility Administrator of its obligations under the Agreement does not prevent the Facility Administrator from executing any banking operations with any member of the Group, including maintaining bank accounts, granting loans and attracting deposits.

(d)

If the indemnification received from the Obligors does not cover the amount of expenses or losses incurred by the Facility Administrator as a result of acting as the Facility Administrator in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents, the Facility Administrator has the right to file a claim against the Lenders (except for the Lender acting as the Facility Administrator) and each Lender (except for the Lender acting as the Facility Administrator) shall, within 10 (ten) Business Days from date on which the Facility Administrator’s claim was filed, indemnify it in the amount corresponding to the Lender’s Proportional Share, for any documented expenses or losses incurred by the Facility Administrator (except in the event of the Facility Administrator’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct) as a result of acting as the Facility Administrator in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents, to the extent not covered by the amount of indemnification received from any Obligor.

23.5	Arranger

The Arranger does not bear any obligations in relation to other Parties, unless this is expressly stipulated in the Finance Documents.

24.	PAYMENT MECHANISM

24.1	General Provisions

The Borrowers shall procure that they, as well as each other Obligor, make payments in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 24 (Payment Mechanism).

24.2	Payments to the Facility Administrator

Unless otherwise expressly stipulated in this Agreement, on each date on which an Obligor or Finance Party must make a payment to a Party under the terms of a Finance Document, such Obligor or Lender must transfer the relevant amount into the Facility Administrator’s Account (unless the context of a Finance Document otherwise requires) with valuation on the date of the payment due date. All payments to be made by an Obligor under a Finance Document must be transferred into the Facility Administrator’s Account no later than 17:00.

24.3	Distribution of funds by the Facility Administrator

(a)

(b)

Each amount of funds transferred into the Facility Administrator’s Account for another Party shall be transferred by the Facility Administrator no later than 11:00 of the next Business Day to the Party for which this amount of funds was intended, into an account whose details shall be provided to the Facility Administrator by the relevant Party at least 5 (five) Business Days before the payment date. The Facility Administrator shall transfer this amount to the relevant Party after it has determined that it has received the required amount in full.

24.4	Partial payments

If the Facility Administrator receives an amount that is not sufficient to fully repay all amounts payable by an Obligor under the terms of the Finance Documents at the relevant time, the Facility Administrator shall use that amount to repay that Obligor’s obligations under the Finance Documents in the following order of priority, unless otherwise provided by law:

(a)

firstly, to indemnify the Finance Parties for the expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of their claims against the Obligor;

(b)

secondly, for the payment of accrued interest on the Facility Outstanding;

(c)

thirdly, to repay the Facility Outstanding owed on the relevant date;

(d)

fourthly, for the payment of fees due to the Facility Administrator;

(e)

fifthly, for the payment of accrued default interest; and

(f)

sixthly, for the payment of any other amounts due from the Obligor under the terms of the Finance Documents.

24.5	Payments not through the Facility Administrator

The Obligor’s transfer of any funds towards payments due to a Finance Party under Finance Documents, without going through the Facility Administrator’s Account, does not constitute proper fulfilment by the Obligor of its obligations under Finance Documents. If the Lender receives any payment owed to it under a Finance Document directly from the Obligor (and not from the Facility Administrator), such Lender shall transfer the amount received from the Obligor into the Facility Administrator’s Account on the same Business Day for distribution among all Finance Parties according to their Proportional Share in the manner prescribed by Clause 24.4 (Partial payments). Thereafter, the Obligor will be deemed to have fulfilled its payment obligations under a Finance Document only to the extent of the amount received by all Finance Parties from the Facility Administrator in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 24.5.

24.6	No set-off by Obligors

The Borrowers shall make (and shall procure that other Obligors make) any payments under the Finance Documents without offsetting any uniform counter-claims that the relevant Obligor may have against any Finance Party.

24.7	Payment currency

The Obligors shall make all payments under Finance Documents in Roubles, except for the indemnification of the Finance Parties for expenses incurred in connection with Finance Documents, which shall be paid by the Obligors in the same currency in which they were incurred, provided that this is not inconsistent with the currency legislation of the Russian Federation (“Agreement Currency”). The monetary obligations of the Obligors shall be deemed fulfilled only if the relevant amounts have been received by the Facility Administrator in the Agreement Currency. If any amounts under a Finance Document are received towards the Obligors’ obligations in a currency other than the Agreement Currency, and the Facility Administrator converts the amount received into the Agreement Currency, the Borrowers shall indemnify (and procure that other Obligors indemnify) the Facility Administrator for its expenses related to converting the amount received into the Agreement Currency (at the internal rate of the Facility Administrator), and also indemnify the difference between the amount due from the Obligors in the Agreement Currency, and the amount received by the Facility Administrator as a result of the conversion of the funds received from the Borrowers into the Agreement Currency.


		Syndicated Facility Agreement dated 16 May 2016 (restated)		78

24.8	Payment due date

(a)

by the Pledged Property being sold at a tender in the form of an open auction conducted by a trade organiser acting pursuant to a contract with the Pledgee.

4.3

The out-of-court procedure for foreclosing on the Pledged Property prescribed by this Agreement shall not be a pre-judicial procedure of dispute resolution. When lodging a claim with a court, the Pledgee shall not be obliged to submit evidence to prove that it has taken (or not taken) any actions to foreclose on the Pledged Property through the out-of-court procedure prescribed by this Agreement. The initiation of the out-of-court procedure for foreclosing on the Pledged Property shall not preclude the Pledgee from appealing to a court at any time seeking foreclosure on the Pledged Property.

4.4

The Pledgee may, at its discretion, foreclose on either the entire Pledged Property or on a portion of the participatory interest that constitutes the Pledged Property while reserving the possibility of foreclosing later on the remaining portion of the participatory interest that constitutes the Pledged Property.

4.5	In the event of non-judicial foreclosure on the Pledged Property, as indicated in clause 4.2.2 above, the realisation of the Pledged Property shall take place not earlier than eight (8) Business Days from the time when the Pledgor receives a Notice served on it in accordance with clause 8.3 below.

4.6	The Pledgor shall assist the Pledgee in foreclosing and realising the Pledged Property and timely submit all necessary documents duly formalised.

Should the Pledgor fail to transfer, within the period indicated in the Notice, to the Pledgee, under a transfer and acceptance certificate for the purposes of realising the Pledged Property upon its non-judicial foreclosure, the documents relating to the Pledged Property, then the additional expenses associated with the judicial foreclosure on the Pledged Property shall be borne by the Pledgor.

4.7

In order to realise the Pledged Property, the Pledgee is entitled to enter, in its own name, into any requisite transactions within its legal capacity, including those with the organiser of a public tender, as well as to sign and receive any necessary documents, including transfer and acceptance certificates.

4.8

When realising the Pledged Property by way of the Pledgee selling it to a third party(ies) (whether through a court action or without recourse to the court) or by the Pledgee retaining the Pledged Property, the sale price of the Pledged Property (the price at which the Pledgee may retain the Pledged Property) shall be set equal to the market price of the Pledged Property, as determined in the Appraiser’s Report.

4.9

When realising the Pledged Property by way of its sale through a tender (whether through a court action or without recourse to the court), the initial sale price of the Pledged Property at which the tender is to start shall be set equal to 80% of the market price of the Pledged Property, as determined in the Appraiser’s Report.

4.10

Should the tender conducted upon non-judicial foreclosure on the Pledged Property be considered failed due to the fact that fewer than two buyers appeared at the tender or that no add-on to the initial sale price of the Pledged Property was proposed, a repeated tender shall be conducted by way of a successive reduction of the price against the initial sale price at the first tender. In this case, the sale price of the Pledged Property shall be successively reduced by five (5) per cent against the initial sale price at the first tender. Should the sale price be reduced during the tenders by thirty (30) per cent from the initial sale price at the first tender, the amount of any subsequent reduction of the sale price of the Pledged Property shall be set at three (3) per cent of the initial sale price at the first tender. The sale price of the Pledged Property set as a result of repeated tenders conducted by way of successive reductions of the price against the initial sale price at the first tender may not be less than fifty (50) per cent from the initial sale price at the first tender.

4.11

If an independent appraiser is engaged, the appraiser shall be selected, at the discretion of the Pledgee, out of the following appraisers: Joint-Stock Company KPMG, Deloitte CIS Holdings Limited, OOO PricewaterhouseCoopers and Ernst & Young Global Limited. A contract between the appraiser and the Pledgee shall be concluded on the terms acceptable for the Pledgee. Expenses on paying for the appraiser’s services shall be borne by the Pledgor. Should the appraiser’s services be paid for by the Pledgee, the Pledgor shall reimburse the Pledgee for the expenses within ten (10) Business Days of the time when the Pledgee sent a claim to the Pledgor supported with documents in accordance with clause 8.3 below.

4.12

Upon the foreclosure on and realisation of the Pledged Property, the Appraiser’s Report shall be prepared not earlier than 3 (three) months before the date when the Notice is served (in the case of non-judicial foreclosure) or not earlier than 3 (three) months before the date of recourse to the court (in the case of judicial foreclosure).

4.13	If the foreclosure on the Pledged Property is made by way of sale at a tender, a specialist organisation or another person registered in the Russian Federation, determined by the Pledgee and acting pursuant to a contract concluded with it shall act as the tender organiser.

4.14

If the Pledged Property is sold to a third party(ies) (whether through a court action or without recourse to the court), the Pledgee shall send to the Pledgor a copy(ies) of the sale and purchase agreement(s) certified by the Pledgee concluded with the buyer of the Pledged Property, within 3 (three) Business Days of the date when the monetary funds comprising the price of the Pledged Property sold are credited to the Pledgee’s account.

4.15	If the amount generated from the realisation of the Pledged Property or the price at which the Pledgee retained the Pledged Property exceeds the amount of the Pledgee’s claims, the difference shall be returned to the Pledgor.

4.16

Upon foreclosure on the Pledged Property, this difference shall be returned to the Pledgor within ten (10) Business Days of the date when the monetary funds comprising the sale price of the Pledged Property are credited to the Pledgee’s account (from the date when the Pledgee acquires the title to the Pledged Property if the Pledgee retains it).

4.17

The Pledgor may terminate, during the period before the realisation of the Pledged Property (which may not be shorter than the period specified in clause 4.5 above), the foreclosure and realisation of the Pledged Property by discharging the Obligation or the portion thereof the performance of which has been delayed. The Pledgee shall also terminate the foreclosure and realisation of the Pledged Property if, during the period before the realisation (which may not be shorter than the period specified in clause 4.5 above), the Company, the Pledgor or any of the Guarantors discharge the Obligation or the portion thereof the performance of which has been delayed.
