4.2 If HET considers that any remedy required to satisfy any Condition is not an Acceptable Remedy (a New Remedy), then:

(a) to the extent that such New Remedy imposes any Cost, liability or obligation on HET or any JVC Group Company, HET shall only be obliged to accept such New Remedy if such Cost, liability or obligation can be quantified financially and VLH has undertaken in a form satisfactory to HET to reimburse HET or the relevant JVC Group Company in respect of all financial effects of such Cost, liability or obligation; and

(b) to the extent that such New Remedy imposes any Cost, liability or obligation on VLH, HET shall only accept such New Remedy if (i) such Cost, liability or obligation can be quantified financially and HET has reimbursed VLH in respect of all financial effects of such Cost, liability or obligation, or (ii) VLH has otherwise given its prior written approval.

4.3 The Conditions set out in Clauses 4.1(c) and/or 4.1(d) may be waived (in whole or in part) in writing by HET.

(b) the Adversely Affected Party (as defined below) has complied with its obligations under Clauses 8.2 to 8.5 above; and

9

the account designated by the relevant Party under Clause 26 or (B) that is a blocked, frozen or escrow account,

(such Party being an Adversely Affected Party),

then an Adversely Affected Party may give each other Party notice in writing to terminate this agreement with immediate effect and, as a result of such notice being validly served by the Adversely Affected Party (as applicable), each Party's rights and obligations under this agreement shall cease to have effect (subject to Clause 13).

(b) no Acceptable Financial Institution has agreed to accept payment of the Sale Shares Price in accordance with the terms of this agreement,

then:

(i) without prejudice to HET’s right to terminate this agreement under (ii) below, the Parties shall work collaboratively and in good faith in accordance with applicable laws (including Sanctions Laws) and use their reasonable endeavours to mitigate and/or prevent the circumstances in (a) or (b) above; and

18.2 The rights and obligations in this Clause 18 are subject to the provisions of Clause 22.

18.3 Nothing in this Clause 18 requires access to information to be made available if to do so would, in the reasonable opinion of HET, HET LuxCo, any JVC Group Company and/or ▇▇▇▇▇:

(a) result in the loss of privilege or would constitute a breach by any JVC Group Company and/or ▇▇▇▇▇ of any applicable law or regulation or any obligation of confidentiality owed to a third party or imposed by law provided that the relevant JVC Group Company and/or ▇▇▇▇▇ (as applicable) shall use its reasonable efforts to permit disclosure of such information; or

(d) to the extent required by law, any court of competent jurisdiction or any competent regulatory body (including a stock exchange) or supervisory body or authority of competent jurisdiction, but if a person is so required to make any announcement or to disclose any confidential information, the relevant Party shall promptly notify the other Parties, where practicable and lawful to do so, before the announcement is made or disclosure occurs (as the case may be) and shall use its reasonable efforts to co-operate with the other Parties regarding the form, timing and content of such announcement or disclosure (as the case may be) or any action which the other Parties may reasonably elect to take to challenge the validity of such requirement.

24.2 In relation to each JVC Group Company and ▇▇▇▇▇, the Parties shall (and shall procure that their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, advisers and representatives, including the directors of any JVC Group Company or ▇▇▇▇▇ nominated by them or by their Affiliates, shall) procure the convening of all meetings, the giving of all waivers and consents and the passing of all resolutions as are necessary under statute, its constitutional documents or any agreement or obligation affecting it to give effect to this agreement and the Transaction Documents.

Unless otherwise expressly stated (or as otherwise agreed in the case of a given payment), all sums due under this agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be made without set‑off or counterclaim. The relevant account for a given payment is:

(a) if that payment is to VLH, the VLH Bank Account;

23

No Party shall be obliged to gross up any sums payable, or otherwise pay (or procure the payment of) any additional amounts, to any other persons as a result of any deduction or withholding made in accordance with this Clause 26.2.

26.3 Each Party shall, upon request by the other Party, cooperate in good faith and take reasonable measures available to it in order to minimise any deduction or withholding referred to in Clause 26.2. For the avoidance of doubt, such reasonable measures shall not include any change to the operations of either Party (or any of its Affiliates) or require either Party (or any of its Affiliates) to carry out any restructuring activities or implement any Tax planning techniques.

27. NO DOUBLE RECOVERY

No party shall be entitled to receive damages, other compensation, reimbursement or otherwise more than once in respect of the same loss, item or otherwise and to the extent that any loss, item or otherwise has been compensated, reimbursed or otherwise following a claim, adjustment or otherwise under this agreement or any other Transaction Document, no party shall be entitled to bring a further claim or otherwise seek compensation in relation to that loss, item or otherwise under this agreement.

28. GENERAL

28.1 Each of the obligations, warranties and undertakings set out in this agreement (excluding any obligation which is fully performed at Completion) shall continue in force after Completion and shall not be affected by the waiver of any condition or any notice given by the relevant Party in respect of any condition.

28.2 Except as otherwise expressly stated in this agreement, where any obligation, warranty or undertaking in this agreement is expressed to be made, undertaken or given by two or more parties, they shall be jointly and severally responsible in respect of it.

28.3 If there is any conflict between the terms of this agreement and the JVC Shareholders’ Deed, ▇▇▇▇▇ Shareholders’ Deed or any other Transaction Document, the terms of this agreement shall prevail.

28.4 Time is not of the essence in relation to any obligation under this agreement unless:

(a) time is expressly stated to be of the essence in relation to that obligation; or

(b) one Party fails to perform an obligation by the time specified in this agreement and the other Party/ies serve(s) a notice on the defaulting Party requiring it to perform the obligation by a specified reasonable time and stating that time is of the essence in relation to that obligation.

28.5 This agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement, and any Party (including any duly authorised representative of a Party) may enter into this agreement by executing a counterpart. Faxed or scanned signatures are taken to be valid and binding to the same extent as original signatures. Delivery of a counterpart of this agreement by email attachment shall be an effective mode of delivery.

28.6 The rights of each Party under this agreement:

(a) may be exercised as often as necessary (in whole or in part);

(b) except as otherwise expressly provided in this agreement, are cumulative and not exclusive of rights and remedies provided by law; and

(c) may be waived only in writing and specifically.

Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any such right is not a waiver of that right and will not affect any such right in relation to any other Party.

28.7 Nothing in this agreement or any other Transaction Document will be deemed to constitute a partnership between the parties or, unless this agreement expressly provides otherwise, make any Party the agent of any other Party for any purpose.

28.8 The entities specified in Clause 16 (including Wind Tre and the other relevant Affiliates of the Parties) shall each have the right to enforce the relevant terms of that Clause by reason of the Contracts (Rights of Third

24

Parties) ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇. This right is subject to (a) the rights of the Parties to amend or vary this agreement without the consent of any such persons and (b) the other terms and conditions of this agreement.

28.9 Subject to Clause 28.8 and except as otherwise expressly stated in this agreement, a person who is not a Party to this agreement may not enforce any of its terms under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇.

28.10 No amendment of this agreement (or of any other Transaction Document) shall be valid unless it is in writing and duly executed by or on behalf of all of the Parties to it.

28.11 The Parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this agreement (or any other Transaction Document) will require any other Party to carry out any act or make any omission that may constitute or result in an actual breach of any Sanctions Law.

29. WHOLE AGREEMENT

29.1 This agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain the whole agreement between the Parties relating to the transactions contemplated by this agreement and the Transaction Documents and supersede all previous draft agreements, arrangements or understandings whether oral or in writing, between the Parties relating to these transactions.

29.2 Each Party:

(a) acknowledges that in agreeing to enter into this agreement and the other Transaction Documents it has not relied on any express or implied statement, representation, warranty, undertaking, collateral contract or other assurance, except those warranties and undertakings set out in this agreement and the other Transaction Documents, made by or on behalf of any other Party before the entering into of this agreement;

(b) waives all rights and remedies which, but for this Clause 29, might otherwise be available to it arising under or in respect of any such express or implied statement, representation, warranty, undertaking, collateral contract or other assurance; and

(c) acknowledges that, except for any liability in respect of a breach of this agreement and the other Transaction Documents, no Party shall owe any duty of care or have any liability in tort or otherwise to the other Parties in relation to the subject matter of this agreement.

29.3 Nothing in this Clause 29 limits or excludes any liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

30. INVALID TERMS

30.1 Each of the provisions of this agreement is severable.

30.2 If and to the extent that any provision of this agreement:

(a) is held to be, or becomes, invalid or unenforceable under the law of any jurisdiction (other than as a result of any person becoming a Sanctioned Person, to which the provisions of Clause 8 apply); but

(b) would be valid, binding and enforceable if some part of the provision were deleted or amended,

then the provision shall have no effect in that respect and the Parties shall enter into good faith negotiations and use all reasonable efforts to replace it in that respect with a valid, binding and enforceable substitute provision the effect of which is as close to its intended effect as possible. The validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired as a result of this Clause 30.2.

25

31.2 Jurisdiction

The English courts have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any Dispute and each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts, and irrevocably agrees that a judgment or order of the English courts in connection with this agreement is conclusive and binding on it and may be enforced against it in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

31.3 Waiver of objections

For the purposes of Clause 31.2, each Party waives any objection to the English courts on the grounds that they are an inconvenient or inappropriate forum to settle any Dispute.

31.4 Service of process agent

Without prejudice to any other method of service permitted by law:

(a) each of VLH, VLF, the ▇▇▇▇ Guarantor and ▇▇▇▇ Amsterdam irrevocably appoints Law Debenture Corporate Services Limited of ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; and

in each case as its agent in England and Wales for service of process and any other documents in relation to any Dispute. Subject to Clause 31.5, each of the above Parties irrevocably undertakes not to revoke its agent's authority; and any claim form, judgment or other notice of legal process shall be sufficiently served on such Party if delivered to its agent at its address for the time being.

31.5 Alternative service of process agent

If any person appointed as process agent under Clause 31.4 is unable for any reason to so act, the relevant Party shall immediately (and in any event within ten Business Days of the event taking place) appoint another agent in England and Wales for service of process in relation to any Dispute and notify the other Parties of such appointment. Failing this, any other Party may appoint another process agent for this purpose at the relevant Party's expense.

31.6 Failure to notify by process agent

Each Party agrees that failure by a process agent to notify it of any process will not invalidate the relevant proceedings.

32. GOVERNING LAW

This agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by English law.

33. LANGUAGE

The language of this agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions envisaged by it is English and all notices to be given in connection with this agreement must be in English.
