1.	This Schedule shall apply in relation to the determination of Fair Market Value pursuant to this Agreement.

2.

The Fair Market Value shall be determined in accordance with this Schedule 4 by the Athens office of such of Ernst & Young, KPMG, Deloitte or PricewaterhouseCoopers or by Morgan Stanley investment bank as is in the case where determination of the Fair Market Value is required as a result of the operation of:

(a)

clause 17 (Compulsory transfer), selected and appointed by the Exercising Non-Defaulting Party holding the largest number of votes attaching to Ordinary Shares; and

(b)

clause 11 (Deadlock provisions) as agreed between the New Investor and the Blocking Shareholder or if no such agreement is reached within 15 Business Days of the relevant Deadlock Transfer Notice then each of the New Investor and the Blocking Shareholder shall appoint one of the organisations mentioned above as it may choose (in which case the provisions of this Schedule 4 shall be deemed to be modified so as to apply equally to both such valuers with the Fair Market Value being the average of the two valuations and with each appointing Shareholder bearing the costs of the valuer it has appointed),

3.

The relevant Shareholders shall enter into an appropriate form of appointment of the accounting firm or investment bank as so selected (in either case, the Valuer) as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within 30 days) following the determination in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Schedule 4 and shall act reasonably in agreeing the terms and conditions of such appointment, including in respect of fees (which shall be borne by: (a) the Defaulting Shareholder in the case of the operation of clause 17 (Compulsory transfer); and (b) the relevant Shareholders in equal amounts in the case of the operation of clause 11 (Deadlock provisions)) and any exclusions and limitations of liability where it can be reasonably demonstrated that such terms and conditions reflect market standard provisions for such appointments.

4.	The Valuer shall be instructed to certify in writing, within 20 Business Days of its appointment, the Fair Market Value of the relevant class (or classes) of Share.

5.	The Valuer shall determine the Fair Market Value of the relevant Shares on the following assumptions and bases (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding always any intangible asset of any kind such as goodwill, trademarks, etc.):

(a)

valuing the Shares to be sold on the basis of:

(i)

the Net Present Value of the Company; plus

(ii)

in respect of any other JV Group Company, the Net Present Value of such JV Group Company taking into account the participation percentage of the Company to such JV Group Company; plus

(iii)

the value of the relevant JV Group Company’s tangible assets (including, but not limited to, real estate and cash) as long as they are not included in the Net Present Value of that JV Group Company; less

(iv)

any liabilities of the relevant JV Group Company as long as they are not included in the Net Present Value of that JV Group Company;

(b)

that the Shares to be sold are capable of being transferred without restriction;

(c)

valuing the relevant Shares to be sold as a rateable proportion of the total value of all the issued Shares of that class without any premium or discount being attributed to the percentage of the issued Shares of that class which they represent;

(d)

save where the Company has ceased to carry on business as a going concern, the determination of the Fair Market Value shall be on the basis that the Company is (and the Subsidiaries, if any, are) carrying on business as a going concern (for the avoidance of doubt, the Valuer(s) shall always take into account contracted revenues only), and will continue to do so;

(e)

if relevant, there shall be taken into account any loss, damages and costs suffered or incurred or to be suffered or incurred by the Company or any other JV Group Company as a result of the occurrence of the Event of Default which resulted in a Compulsory Transfer Notice being served;

(f)

the Fair Market Value shall be determined as at the date of the Compulsory Transfer Notice;

(g)

the Valuer shall determine the Fair Market Value using the discounted cash flow model valuation methodology;

(h)

the Valuer may consult with (or obtain valuations from) such valuers or other professionals as it shall see fit prior to making its determination, provided that the fees of such other valuers or other professionals have been agreed in advance by the Exercising Non-Defaulting Party or, as the case may be, the New Investor and/or the Blocking Shareholder appointing and selecting the Valuer (such fees shall be borne by the Shareholders as provided above in this Schedule 4 and, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a Valuer is appointed by each of the New Investor and the Blocking Shareholder, each one will pay for the fees of such other valuers or other professionals appointed by the Valuer appointed by it);

(i)

the Valuer shall be deemed to be acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator and its decision shall, in the absence of fraud or manifest error, be final and binding on the Parties;

(j)

the Parties shall procure that there is made available to the Valuer such information relating to the JV Group as it may reasonably require in order to determine the Fair Market Value;

(k)

each of the Shareholders shall be entitled to make written representations and cross representations to the Valuer, which representations shall be copied to the other Shareholders;

(l)

the Valuer's determination shall include a determination of the Transfer Price, as well as the Fair Market Value; and

(m)

a copy of the Valuer's determination of the Fair Market Value, and of the Transfer Price, shall be provided to the Shareholders.

6.	If any difficulty arises in applying any of these assumptions or bases then the Valuer shall resolve that difficulty in such manner as it/they shall in its absolute discretion think fit.

1.	Any sale of Shares from one Shareholder (the Seller) to another Shareholder or the Company (the Buyer) pursuant to this Agreement shall be completed in accordance with this Schedule 5.

(a)

deliver or cause to be delivered to the Buyer (or as it may direct) a duly executed transfer or transfers in favour of the Buyer (or as it may direct) in respect of the Shares held by the Seller, accompanied by the relevant share certificates or other documents of title and any power of attorney or other authority under which such transfer or transfers have been executed, together with a power of attorney in a form and in favour of a person nominated by the Buyer enabling the Buyer, pending registration, to exercise all rights of ownership in relation to the Shares held by the Seller, including voting rights;

(b)

if applicable, procure the resignation of all its appointees to the Board such resignations to take effect without any liabilities on the Company on any grounds; and

The Directors appointed by the Seller (or its predecessor in title) shall not:

(a)

be entitled to vote at any Board Meeting;

(b)

be required to attend any meeting of Directors in order to constitute a quorum; or

(c)

be entitled to receive or request any information from the Company.

5.

6.	If the Seller complies with its obligations under this Schedule 5 but the Buyer fails to pay to the Seller the amounts it is obliged to pay on the stipulated completion date then such monies shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate.
