10.		INDEMNITIES

		Non-Networks Liabilities

10.1		Nokia and Siemens agree that from Closing each of them shall indemnify NSN (on behalf of itself and, save in respect of any fine, penalty or other liability resulting from the commission of a criminal offence by any such Affiliate, on behalf of its relevant Affiliates) from and against any Non-Networks Liabilities suffered by NSN (or any NSN Group Company) arising in relation to the business carried on by that Shareholder's Group, save to the extent that any such Non-Networks Liabilities are either:

		10.1.1 already provided for in either the Nokia Closing Statement or the Siemens Closing Statement (as the case may be); or

		10.1.2 the subject of indemnification pursuant to any other Transaction Document

10.2		Nokia and Siemens agree that from Closing each of them shall indemnify the other (on behalf of itself and its relevant Affiliates) from and against any Non-Networks Liabilities suffered by the other (or any of its Affiliates) arising as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and in relation to the business carried on by that Shareholder's Group, ALWAYS PROVIDED THAT neither Nokia nor Siemens shall be entitled to indemnification under this clause 10.2 in respect of such a Non-Networks Liability:

	10.2.1		arising from a Non-Networks Liability suffered by NSN, whether or not NSN pursues any claim for indemnification in respect of this; or

	10.2.2		arising as a result of any action, claim, demand or legal proceeding brought against it by any of its respective shareholders (in the capacity of shareholder).

		Litigation

10.3		Where:

	10.3.1		a majority of the shares in any company (a "Target Company") is transferred to NSN at Closing; and

	10.3.2		the Target Company is the claimant in respect of any Litigation (other than in respect of Tax) where the amount of the claim is in excess of €5,000,000; and

	10.3.3		if the Shareholder that transferred the shares serves a notice on NSN no later than 20 Business Days after Closing that it wishes to retain conduct of such Litigation,

		the provisions of clauses 10.6.2 and 10.6.3 shall apply to the conduct of such Litigation as if the Shareholder that transferred the shares is the Indemnifier and the Target Company is the Indemnified Party. If such Shareholder does not serve such a notice on NSN within such time period, it shall lose the right to retain conduct of such Litigation.

10.4		The Target Company shall only settle such Litigation if it has first obtained such Shareholder's prior written consent.

- 42 -

10.5		NSN shall procure that any amount received by the Target Company in respect of such Litigation is paid over to such Shareholder within 20 Business Days of having been received by the Target Company.

		General

10.6		Where pursuant to this Clause 10 a party or its relevant Affiliate (together, the "Indemnified Party") has the benefit of an indemnity granted in its favour by another party (the "Indemnifier"), to the extent that the Indemnified Party becomes aware of any matter which may give rise to a claim (an "Indemnified Claim") by it against the Indemnifier pursuant to such indemnity:

	10.6.1		the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifier immediately of the matter (stating in reasonable detail the nature of the matter and, if practicable, the amount claimed) and consult with the Indemnifier with respect to the matter; if the matter has become the subject of proceedings the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifier within sufficient time to enable the Indemnifier to have time to contest the proceedings before final judgment;

	10.6.2		the Indemnified Party shall:

(a)

take any action and institute any proceedings, and give any information and assistance, as the Indemnifier or its insurers may reasonably request to:

	(i)		dispute, resist, appeal, compromise, defend, remedy or mitigate the matter; or

	(ii)		enforce against a person (other than the Indemnifier) the Indemnified Party's or its insurers' rights in relation to the matter; and

(b)

in connection with proceedings related to the matter (other than against the Indemnifier) use advisers chosen by the Indemnifier or its insurers and, if the Indemnifier requests, allow the Indemnifier or its insurers the exclusive conduct of the proceedings,

			in each case if the Indemnifier indemnifies the Indemnified Party for all reasonable costs incurred as a result of a request or choice by the Indemnifier or its insurers;

	10.6.3		if NSN or any NSN Group Company is the Indemnified Party, clause 10.6.2 does not apply if Nokia's or Siemens's or any of their respective insurers' request or choice would in NSN's reasonable opinion be materially prejudicial to its relationship with any customer or supplier of the Networks Business to which the matter giving rise to the indemnity claim relates; and

	10.6.4		the Indemnified Party may only admit liability in respect of or settle the matter if it has first obtained the Indemnifier's written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

- 43 -

10.7		Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or limit NSN's or any NSN Group Company's general obligation at law to mitigate any loss or damage which it may incur as a consequence of a matter giving rise to an Indemnified Claim.

10.8		If any payment made pursuant to a clause of this Agreement requiring the Indemnifier to indemnify or compensate the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party will be or has been subject to Tax, the Indemnifier shall on demand from the Indemnified Party pay to the Indemnified Party the amount (after taking into account Tax payable in respect of the amount) that will ensure that the Indemnified Party receives and retains a net sum equal to the sum it would have received had the payment not been subject to Tax.

10.9		For the avoidance of doubt, this clause 10 shall not apply to any claim under the Tax Deed.

11.		TERMINATION

11.1		If, at any time before First Closing:

	11.1.1		there has been a material breach of the Nokia Exchange Warranties which, where capable of cure, has not been cured within 20 Business Days of notice of the breach being served by Siemens;

	11.1.2		there would be a material breach of the Nokia Closing Warranties were Closing to take place at that date and such breach, where capable of cure, has not been cured within 20 Business Days of notice of the breach being served by Siemens;

	11.1.3		Nokia has committed a material breach of its obligations under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, clause 9.10.1) and such material breach, where capable of cure, has not been cured within 20 Business Days of notice of the breach being served by Siemens; or

	11.1.4		a Material Adverse Change has arisen in relation to the Nokia Networks Business,

		Siemens may by written notice to Nokia terminate this Agreement.

11.2		If, at any time before First Closing:

	11.2.1		there has been a material breach of the Siemens Exchange Warranties which, where capable of cure, has not been cured within 20 Business Days of notice of the breach being served by Nokia;

	11.2.2		there would be a material breach of the Siemens Closing Warranties were Closing to take place at that date and such breach, where capable of cure, has not been cured within 20 Business Days of notice of the breach being served by Nokia;

	11.2.3		Siemens has committed a material breach of its obligations under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, clause 9.10.1) and such material breach, where capable of cure, has not been cured within 20 Business Days of notice of the breach being served by Nokia; or

- 44 -

11.2.4

a Material Adverse Change has arisen in relation to the Siemens Networks Business,

		Nokia may by written notice to Siemens terminate this Agreement, ALWAYS PROVIDED THAT Nokia may not serve any such notice after the Condition set out in paragraph 5 of Part A of Schedule 4 has been satisfied in respect of any Allegation of Corruption identified prior to the date when such Condition was satisfied unless Nokia has obtained material new information which substantially changes its assessment of the significance of such Allegation of Corruption.

11.3		For the purposes of clauses 11.1 and 11.2, a "material breach" means a breach in respect of which NSN has suffered a loss (or would suffer a loss if Closing were to take place) as a result thereof in excess of €375 million (disregarding for these purposes the right of NSN to seek indemnification in respect of the matter giving rise to such material breach).

11.4		In the event that a right of termination has arisen under clause 11.1 and Siemens elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clauses 11.1.1 to 11.1.3 (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding clause 11.1.4), Nokia shall pay to Siemens its reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation and implementation of this Agreement.

11.5		In the event that a right of termination has arisen under clause 11.2 and Nokia elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clauses 11.2.1 to 11.2.3 (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding clause 11.2.4), Siemens shall pay to Nokia its reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation and implementation of this Agreement.

11.6		If the Condition set out in paragraph 5 of Part A of Schedule 4 is not satisfied on or before the third Business Day after the Compliance Review Date, then either Siemens or Nokia may by notice in writing to the other terminate this Agreement.

11.7		Save in respect of fraud, no party will have the right to rescind this Agreement after First Closing.

11.8		Each party's further rights and obligations under this Agreement shall cease immediately upon termination of this Agreement (other than in respect of clauses 1, 24-37, 39 and 41-44), but termination does not affect a party's accrued rights and obligations as at the date of termination.

12.		SIEMENS RESTRUCTURING

12.1		To the extent reasonably practicable prior to the First Closing Date, Siemens shall continue to implement the Siemens Restructuring. If the Siemens Restructuring (or any part thereof) has not been completed prior to the First Closing Date, a provision (the "Siemens Restructuring Provision") will be made in line item number 28 of the Siemens Initial Statement in respect of the anticipated costs of completing the Siemens Restructuring in relation to the Relevant Number of Employees and the Siemens Restructuring Provision shall be taken into account in calculating the Siemens Net Debt Amount.

- 45 -

12.2		If (a) the costs incurred in completing the Siemens Restructuring in relation to the Relevant Number of Employees together with (b) any Liabilities of NSN or any NSN Group Company arising from the Siemens Restructuring carried out by Siemens prior to the First Closing Date, exceed the amount of the Restructuring Provision, Siemens shall indemnify NSN and each member of the NSN Group against any Termination Costs (other than recoverable VAT) incurred by NSN or a member of the NSN Group in completing the Siemens Restructuring (in accordance with its terms and the terms of the Shareholders' Agreement) in relation to the Relevant Number of Employees upon presentation after the First Closing Date of evidence acceptable to Siemens (acting reasonably) that such Termination Costs have been incurred.

12.3		In this clause 12, the "Relevant Number of Employees" means 3,309 less the aggregate number of employees who cease working in (including those who object to transferring to any member of the NSN Group at Closing from, but ignoring any new employees who join) the Siemens Networks Business during the period commencing 31 March 2006 and ending on the First Closing Date.

13.		CONTRACTS

		Scope

13.1		The other provisions of this clause 13 shall only apply in relation to Networks Contracts which are to be assigned at or prior to Closing to NSN, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NSN or a company formed for the purpose of holding Networks Assets.

		Networks Contracts

13.2		Subject to clause 13.3.3 and clause 13.7, after Closing NSN shall perform all of:

13.2.1

Nokia's (and any member of its Group's) obligations under each Nokia Networks Contract (whether to be performed before or after Closing) in accordance with the terms of such Nokia Networks Contract; and

13.2.2

Siemens's (and any member of its Group's) obligations under each Siemens Networks Contract (whether to be performed before or after Closing) in accordance with the terms of such Siemens Networks Contract,

		but in each case excluding any obligations under such contracts which are Non-Networks Liabilities.

13.3		If a Networks Contract cannot be transferred to NSN except by an assignment made with a specified person's consent or by a novation agreement:

	13.3.1		this Agreement does not constitute an assignment or an attempted assignment of such Networks Contract if the assignment or attempted assignment would constitute a breach of the Contract;

	13.3.2		both before and after Closing, Nokia (in the case of each Nokia Networks Contract), Siemens (in the case of each Siemens Networks Contract) and NSN shall each make all reasonable efforts to obtain the person's consent to the assignment, or achieve the novation, of the relevant Networks Contract;

- 46 -

	13.3.3		until the consent is obtained or novation is achieved, Nokia (in the case of each Nokia Networks Contract) and Siemens (in the case of each Siemens Networks Contract) shall (at their own respective cost) do each act and thing reasonably requested of it by NSN to enable performance of the relevant Networks Contract and to provide for NSN the benefits of such Networks Contract (including, without limitation, enforcement of a right of Nokia or Siemens (as the case may be) against another party to the relevant Networks Contract arising out of its termination by the other party or otherwise); and

	13.3.4		if the arrangements in clause 13.3.2 have not been made in respect of any Networks Contract within 12 months of Closing, Nokia (in the case of an Nokia Networks Contract) or Siemens (in the case of a Siemens Networks Contract), and Nokia and Siemens shall agree the most appropriate steps to take in relation to such Networks Contract.

13.4		Subject to clause 13.7, Nokia (in the case of each Nokia Non-Networks Contract), Siemens (in the case of each Siemens Non-Networks Contract) and NSN shall each make all reasonable efforts to obtain the person's consent to the assignment, or achieve the novation, of that part of the relevant Non-Networks Contract that relates to the Nokia Networks Business or the Siemens Networks Business (as the case may be).

13.5		Until the consent is obtained or novation is achieved, Nokia (in the case of each Nokia Non-Networks Contract) and Siemens (in the case of each Siemens Non-Networks Contract) shall (at their own respective cost) do each act and thing reasonably requested of it by NSN to enable performance of that part of the relevant Non-Networks Contract that relates to the Nokia Networks Business or the Siemens Networks Business (as the case may be) and to provide for NSN the benefits of that part of the relevant Non-Networks Contract that relates to the Nokia Networks Business or the Siemens Networks Business (as the case may be) (including, without limitation, enforcement of a right of Nokia or Siemens (as the case may be) against another party to the relevant Non-Networks Contract arising out of its termination by the other party or otherwise).

13.6		If the arrangements in clause 13.2 have not been made in respect of any Non-Networks Contract within 12 months of Closing, Nokia (in the case of an Nokia Networks Contract) or Siemens (in the case of a Siemens Networks Contract) and NSN shall agree the most appropriate steps to take in relation to such Non-Networks Contract.

13.7		Both before and after Closing and in any event as soon as practicable after the date of the Original Agreement, Nokia, Siemens and NSN shall consult with each other in order to agree, on the basis of NSN's best interest and taking into account the interests of the relevant Shareholder, how to transfer to NSN (on behalf of itself and its relevant Affiliates) the benefit of Nokia Licences-In and/or Siemens Licences-In and/or Shared IP Licences granting rights to the Nokia Group or the Siemens Group for substantially the same technology. The parties shall take the necessary steps to implement such agreement either by way of assignment of the contractual rights (subject to the liabilities) under such Nokia Licences-In and/or Siemens Licences-In and/or Shared IP Licences, the novation of such contracts, or the grant by Nokia, Siemens or their respective Affiliates of a sub-licence under such Nokia Licences-In and/or Siemens Licences-In

- 47 -

		and/or Shared IP Licences, to NSN or its Affiliates (in each such case, subject to the provisions of clauses 13.2 to 13.6). For the avoidance of doubt, if the parties agree in accordance with this clause 13.7 that NSN does not need the benefit of any Nokia Licence-In or Siemens Licence-In and/or Shared IP Licences, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the relevant Shareholder shall not be required to transfer the relevant contract to NSN on behalf of itself and its relevant Affiliates and the liabilities arising out of such contract shall not be deemed to be Nokia Assumed Liabilities or Siemens Assumed Liabilities (as the case may be).

13.8		In respect of any Shared IP Licences (subject to clause 13.7), each Shareholder, to the extent any relevant Shared IP Licence allows it to do so without having to seek the consent of a third party, will grant NSN (on behalf of itself and its relevant Affiliates) a sub-licence to do all acts which the Shareholder is permitted to do under the Shared IP Licence in relation to the Networks Business subject to all conditions and limitations contained in the Shared IP Licence. The shared IP Licence shall be considered an Assumed Liability for the purposes of clauses 3 and 10, and clause 13.2 shall apply to such Shared IP Licence to the extent that the Shared IP Licence is required for use by both NSN and the relevant Shareholder. Unless the relevant Shareholder and NSN agree otherwise, the Shared IP Licence shall be deemed to be used by each of them in equal proportions.

13.9		If any Shared IP Licences cannot be sublicensed to NSN except with the consent of a third party, both before and after Closing, Nokia (in the case of such Shared IP Licences granted to the Nokia Group), Siemens (in the case of such Shared IP Licences granted to the Siemens Group) and NSN shall each make all reasonable efforts to obtain the person's consent to the sublicensing of the relevant Shared IP Licences.

13.10		Each shareholder shall procure that prior to Closing each material Networks Contract and each material Networks Lease in respect of which the counterparty or the lessor (as the case may be) is a member of that Shareholder's Group is amended to the extent necessary so that it is thereafter governed by arm's length terms.

		Terminated or renegotiated Networks Contracts

13.11		Each Shareholder shall upon becoming aware at any time prior to First Closing that a Counterparty intends to terminate or amend any Customer Contract as a result of any Allegation of Corruption:

	13.11.1		notify the other Shareholder; and

	13.11.2		use all reasonable endeavours to contest any such termination or amendment.

13.12

NSN shall upon becoming aware at any time following First Closing that a Counterparty intends to terminate or amend any Customer Contract as a result of any Allegation of Corruption:

	13.12.1		notify each Shareholder; and

	13.12.2		use all reasonable endeavours to contest any such termination or amendment, and to mitigate the effects thereof, in accordance with the directions (if any) of

- 48 -

the Board (including by not having any systems in place that would encourage such termination or amendment).

13.13		NSN shall notify each Shareholder of any Customer Contract which has been terminated by a Counterparty or amended at any time following First Closing as a result of any Allegation of Corruption. Siemens hereby undertakes to pay to Nokia Finance International B.V. ("NFI BV") 50 per cent. of the Net Present Value of any Lost Profit resulting from the termination or amendment of such Customer Contract as a result of any Allegation of Corruption within 20 Business Days of the Lost Profit Statement being agreed or determined in accordance with Schedule 13. The obligations of the parties pursuant to this clause 13.13 shall only apply to Customer Contracts terminated or amended in the period ending on the date which is six (6) months after completion of the Compliance Review as a result of any Allegation of Corruption.

13.14		If following the termination or amendment of any Customer Contract to which clause 13.13 applies (the "Original Contract") and before a payment in respect of termination or amendment of such Original Contract has been made by Siemens pursuant to clause 13.13, within nine (9) months of the Reference Date any NSN Group Company either:

	13.14.1		enters into a new contract with the same customer (a "Qualifying Replacement Contract" and where such new contract is entered into by any NSN Group Company with a parent undertaking of such customer or any subsidiary undertaking of any such parent undertaking which would be a Qualifying Replacement Contract if it had been entered into with the customer, Nokia and Siemens by their respective chief financial officers shall discuss in good faith whether such contract should properly be regarded as a Qualifying Replacement Contract) the Lost Profit shall be calculated as if the Qualifying Replacement Contract were an amendment to such Original Contract and such Original Contract had not been terminated; or

	13.14.2		such Customer Contract as amended (an "Initial Amended Contract") is subject to further amendment on terms more favourable in aggregate to the relevant NSN Group Company than those provided in the Initial Amended Contract (a "Subsequent Amended Contract"), the Lost Profit shall be calculated by reference to the Subsequent Amended Contract rather than the Initial Amended Contract.

13.15

Where prior to the determination of Lost Profit by reference to a Qualifying Replacement Contract or a Subsequent Amended Contract, a payment in respect of the termination or amendment of the relevant Original Contract has already been made by Siemens pursuant to clause 13.13, Nokia shall procure that NFI BV will, following determination of the Lost Profit by reference to the Qualifying Replacement Contract or Subsequently Amended Contract, as the case may be, repay to Siemens that part of such payment equal to the aggregate of:

13.15.1

the amount by which such payment (disregarding the amount by which it was increased by the operation of clause 41); and

- 49 -

13.15.2

an amount equal to the actual reduction in Tax that NFI BV obtains from the utilisation of any Relief which arises to NFI BV as a result of such repayment,

		exceeds the amount of the Lost Profit as subsequently determined, such sum to be treated as a reduction of such previous payment and Siemens shall be under no further obligation to make a payment in relation to such Customer Contract pursuant to clause 13.13. The provisions of clause 41 shall not apply to any payment made by NFI BV to Siemens pursuant to this clause 13.15.

13.16		No later than ten (10) months after the termination or amendment of any Customer Contract in respect of which NSN has notified the Shareholders pursuant to clause 13.13, the CEO and CFO shall confirm in writing to Siemens that no Qualifying Replacement Contract or subsequent Amended Contract in relation to such Customer Contract has been entered into within nine (9) months of its termination or amendment.

13.17		Subject as provided in this clause 13.17 within the period of 60 Business Days, following termination of any Customer Contract in respect of which Siemens is obligated to make any payment, NSN shall be entitled to terminate any agreement with any sub-contractor which relates exclusively to the relevant Customer Contract, and Siemens shall pay to NFI BV an amount equal to 50 per cent. of any amount payable by any NSN Group Company to the subcontractor as a result of the termination of any such agreement pursuant to this clause 13.17 (less an amount equal to the actual reduction in Tax that the relevant NSN Group Company obtains from the utilisation of any Relief which arises to such NSN Group Company as a result of paying such amount to the subcontractor) but only to the extent that this relates to the period of 12 months after the date of such termination and ALWAYS PROVIDED THAT prior to terminating any agreement with a sub-contractor pursuant to this clause 13.17, NSN shall use all reasonable endeavours to mitigate such costs, including by using the equipment or services to be provided under such agreement elsewhere in connection with its business, and Siemens shall pay to NSN an amount equal to the out of pocket costs reasonably incurred by NSN in so doing.

13.18		Where:

	13.18.1		any repayment has been made by NFI BV to Siemens pursuant to clause 13.15 or any payment has been made by Siemens to NFI BV pursuant to clause 13.17 in respect of an amount payable by any NSN Group Company to a subcontractor;

	13.18.2		an actual reduction in Tax is obtained by NFI BV or the relevant NSN Group Company (as the case may be) from the utilisation of any Relief which arises to NFI BV or the relevant NSN Group Company (as the case may be) as described in clause 13.15 or clause 13.17 (as the case may be); and

	13.18.3		the amount of such actual reduction in Tax would have been taken into account for the purposes of calculating the amount repayable pursuant to clause 13.15 or the amount payable pursuant to clause 13.17 (as the case may be) if it had been obtained prior to the date that such repayment or payment (as the case may be) was made but was not so taken into account,

- 50 -

			then:

	13.18.4		in the case of an actual reduction in Tax that is obtained by NFI BV as described in clause 13.18.2 above, Nokia shall procure that NFI BV makes a further repayment to Siemens of an amount equal to such actual reduction in Tax to the extent that it would have been taken into account as described in clause 13.18.3; and

	13.18.5		in the case of an actual reduction in Tax that is obtained by the relevant NSN Group Company as described in clause 13.18.2 above, NSN shall procure that the relevant NSN Group Company makes a payment to Siemens of an amount equal to such actual reduction in Tax to the extent that it would have been taken into account as described in clause 13.18.3,

		in either case within 20 Business Days. The provisions of clause 41 of this Agreement shall not apply to any payment or repayment by NFI BV or any NSN Group Company (as the case may be) pursuant to this clause 13.18.

14.7.1

if the right to acquire all or any part of an Interest is exercised by the pre-empting party prior to Closing, then such Interest (or the relevant part of it) shall not form part of the Networks Assets which are required to be transferred

- 55 -

			to NSN by Nokia and Siemens at Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the value of such Interest shall be excluded from the calculation of net assets contributed to NSN in accordance with clause 6; and

	14.7.2		if the right to acquire all or any part of an Interest is subsequently exercised by the pre-empting party at any time after Closing, Nokia (in the case of a Networks Joint Venture to which it or a member of its Group is a party) or Siemens (in the case of a Networks Joint Venture to which it or a member of its Group is a party) shall pay to NSN (on behalf of itself and its relevant Affiliates) an amount equal to the value of its Interest in that Networks Joint Venture as at Closing, as shown in the Nokia Closing Statement or the Siemens Closing Statement (as the case may be).

14.8		Subject to the transfer of any Interests to NSN (on behalf of itself and its relevant Affiliates) being completed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Business Combination Agreement, NSN (on behalf of itself and its relevant Affiliates) agrees to indemnify Nokia, Siemens and each member of their respective Groups on demand (which may be made at any time after the transfer to NSN of the relevant Interest) in respect of any financial contribution or liability to make any such contribution or other liability arising under the terms of the relevant Networks Joint Venture Agreement or otherwise, and Nokia or Siemens shall, or shall procure that the relevant member of their respective Groups shall, ensure that any distribution received by them from any Networks Joint Venture after Closing is paid to NSN, or as NSN may direct, as soon as reasonably practicable after the transfer of the relevant Interest to NSN in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Business Combination Agreement, provided that such amount shall be reduced pro-rata to the extent that Nokia or Siemens (or any member of their respective Group) is prevented from transferring any part of the Interest to NSN.

	16.1.1		to NSN or a NSN Group Company of the entire issued share capital of a company which holds Networks Assets as contemplated by clauses 2.4.2 and 2.4.3, it is the Shareholders' intention that the contracts of employment of those Networks Business Employees employed by that company should continue with that company notwithstanding the transfer of the entire issued share capital of that company to NSN or a NSN Group Company;

	16.1.2		of that part of each Shareholders' Networks Business to NSN or a NSN Group Company as contemplated by clause 2.4.1 and, where Transfer Regulations are applicable in that Territory, those Networks Business Employees assigned to that part of that Shareholder's Networks Business shall transfer by operation of the applicable Transfer Regulations to NSN or the relevant NSN Group Company.

- 57 -

Employee would not be transferred by such Transfer Regulations, then in either (i) or (ii) the transfer of such Networks Business Employee's employment to NSN or the relevant NSN Group Company shall be implemented by means of termination and re-employment in accordance with clauses 16.2 to 16.5 below.

		Termination and Re-employment by NSN

16.2		Clauses 16.3 to 16.6 shall apply in relation to those employees specified in clause 16.1.3 only, and within those clauses only, the terms "Nokia Networks Employee" and "Siemens Networks Employee" shall be construed accordingly.

16.3		NSN shall, or shall procure that a NSN Group Company shall, prior to Closing, offer a contract of employment (such offer to be conditional on Closing and, if accepted, such employment to commence with effect from Closing) to each applicable Networks Business Employee on terms and conditions which shall:

	16.3.1		comply with applicable local laws;

	16.3.2		where the Network Business Employee is based in a jurisdiction where the Transfer Regulations apply, replicate those terms and conditions which would have transferred if the Transfer Regulations had applied to that individual;

	16.3.3		otherwise (i) provide a salary which is at least equal to the salary payable to such Networks Business Employee immediately before Closing, and (ii) in respect of all other payments, benefits, terms and conditions (other than any terms relating to an occupational pension scheme) which are no less favourable (in aggregate) than the payments, benefits, terms and conditions provided to such Networks Business Employee immediately before Closing;

	16.3.4		which shall be conditional on the Networks Business Employee waiving (in a manner which Nokia and Siemens agree is legally effective) his entitlement to any Termination Costs which would otherwise be payable on the termination of his employment with his Nokia Employer or Siemens Employer unless such waiver is prohibited by local law or his Nokia Employer or Siemens Employer (as appropriate) decides not to require such waiver;

	16.3.5		will remain open for acceptance by such Networks Business Employee for 10 Business Days after that offer is made; and

	16.3.6		that such Networks Business Employee's period of service with the Nokia Group or Siemens Group (as the case may be) shall be counted as continuous service with NSN or the relevant NSN Group Company for the purposes of vacation and severance and all other seniority based benefits except any benefits under a Retirement Benefit Arrangement (which shall be dealt with in accordance with Schedule 12) (save that it shall not be counted as continuous service for severance purposes to the extent that the Network Business Employee receives a severance or other redundancy payment by reference to his or her service with the Nokia Group or Siemens Group on transfer to NSN or

- 58 -

relevant NSN Group Company (unless applicable local law otherwise requires)).

16.4		Where such Network Business Employees accept such offers of employment from NSN or a NSN Group Company, Nokia and Siemens (as the case may be) will procure that such Networks Business Employees are released from employment with the Nokia Employer or the Siemens Employer respectively and from any post-termination restrictions that might otherwise prevent their working for NSN or the relevant NSN Group Company with effect from Closing, and will use all reasonable steps to minimise any Termination Costs that are not waived.

16.5		Where a Networks Business Employee accepts an offer of employment made in accordance with clause 16.3:

	16.5.1		any Termination Costs shall be borne by NSN or the relevant NSN Group Company and NSN (or the relevant NSN Group Company) shall indemnify the Nokia Employer or Siemens Employer (as the case may be) in respect of all and any such Termination Costs; and

	16.5.2		any Accrued Employee Liabilities payable in respect of the termination of employment of such Networks Business Employees shall be borne exclusively by the relevant Nokia Employer or Siemens Employer.

16.6		Where a Networks Business Employee declines an offer of employment made in accordance with clause 16.3, for the avoidance of doubt the cost of continuing to employ such an employee (or any Termination Costs if appropriate) shall be borne by the relevant Nokia Employer or Siemens Employer (as the case may be).

		Non-Transfer of Network Business Employees

16.7		Where, in the six (6) months after Closing, it is found that or alleged that the contract of employment of any Networks Business Employee which Nokia and Siemens intended would be transferred by virtue of the Transfer Regulations to NSN or a NSN Group Company as contemplated by clause 16.1.2 has in fact not so transferred (other than any such Networks Business Employee who has objected or refused to transfer pursuant to a right under the applicable Transfer Regulations):

	16.7.1		NSN will no later than 10 Business Days after being notified of such fact, make to that Networks Business Employee an offer in writing to employ him/her under a new contract of employment, which offer will remain open for ten (10) Business Days;

	16.7.2		the offer to be made pursuant to clause 16.7.1 above will be on the same basis as is set out in clause 16.3 above;

	16.7.3		Nokia or Siemens (as the case may be) will use their reasonable efforts to procure that such offer is accepted by the relevant Networks Business Employee within ten (10) Business Days of being made and if after that time the offer has not been accepted:

- 59 -

	(a)		NSN may withdraw the offer of employment; and

	(b)		Nokia or Siemens will be under no further obligation to procure that the relevant Networks Business Employee accepts any offer of employment from NSN or a NSN Group Company; and

16.7.4

Whether a Networks Business Employee accepts or declines an offer of employment made in accordance with this clause 16.7:

	(a)		any Termination Costs in respect of such Network Business Employee shall be borne by NSN or the relevant NSN Group Company and NSN (or the relevant NSN Group Company) shall indemnify the Nokia Employer or Siemens Employer (as the case may be) in respect of all and any such costs and liabilities; and

	(b)		any Accrued Employee Liabilities payable in respect of the termination of employment of such Networks Business Employees shall be borne exclusively by the relevant Nokia Employer or Siemens Employer.

		Other employment matters

16.8		In good time prior to Closing Nokia shall provide to NSN and Siemens, and Siemens shall provide to NSN and Nokia, a list identifying the individuals who are to be Nokia Network Employees or Siemens Network Employees (as the case may be) as appropriate.

16.9		This clause 16.9 sets out how Nokia Overhead Employees and Siemens Overhead Employees are to be identified: Nokia and Siemens shall each identify those positions or functions within their own organisation in respect of which an overhead charge has been made to the relevant Networks Business in the 12 months prior to Closing and shall identify what percentage of the total overhead cost is attributable to the relevant Network Business (the "Relevant Percentage"). Nokia or Siemens (as the case may be, shall be entitled (but not obliged) to identify a number of Nokia or Siemens (as the case may be) employees equal to the Relevant Percentage of the total staff employed in the overhead function (such employees not otherwise falling within sub-paragraph (a) to (d) of the definitions of Nokia Networks Employees and Siemens Networks Employees) and such employees shall be "Nokia Overhead Employees" or "Siemens Overhead Employees" (as the case may be), and together the "Overhead Employees". Nokia (in the case of Nokia Overhead Employees) and Siemens (in the case of Siemens Overhead Employees) shall use their reasonable efforts to ensure that the employees identified as Nokia Overhead Employees or Siemens Overhead Employees (as the case may be) shall, so far as possible, represent a reasonable cross-section of the total staff employed in the relevant overhead function in terms of age, length of service, salary and experience.

16.10		Siemens and Nokia agree that, as at or prior to Closing, they will identify those individuals who provide services to a Networks Business other than through an employment relationship (including but not limited to the provision of services by such individuals as agency employees or self-employed contractors). Nokia and Siemens will seek to identify of those individuals whose services will be reasonably required by the

- 60 -

NSN and NSN Group following Closing and shall procure that the contract for services of each such person is terminated prior to or with effect from Closing. NSN or a NSN Group Company will make a suitable offer of a new contract to or in respect of such individuals for the provision of the same services on terms that are reasonably comparable to those terms offered to or in respect of such individual prior to Closing, such contract to commence with effect from or as soon as reasonably practicable following Closing.

16.11		Siemens and Nokia shall each comply (and respectively will procure that each member of the Nokia Group and Siemens Group will comply) with all legal requirements (whether statutory or pursuant to any written agreement with, or the constitution of, any Employee Representative Body) to inform, consult or notify any Employee Representative Body or Governmental Entity in connection with the matters contemplated by this Agreement. Each Shareholder shall provide the other with such information as the other may reasonably request in writing as is necessary for the requesting party to comply with any such legal requirement. Each Shareholder shall indemnify NSN (for itself and for the benefit of its Affiliates) against any liabilities, losses, charges, costs claims or demands which NSN or any NSN Group Company may incur which are attributable to any failure by the relevant Shareholder (or relevant member of its Group) to comply with any such legal requirement.

16.12		Nokia and Siemens agree that amounts payable by NSN under the Transitional Services Agreement shall be on the same terms and conditions and charging basis as those in respect of overhead charges paid by the Nokia Networks Business or the Siemens Networks Business (as the case may be) during the period to which the Nokia Divisional Report and the Siemens Divisional Report relate in respect of any overhead function carried out by any Overhead Employees transferred to NSN or any NSN Group Company.

16.13		Siemens will procure that the employment contract of any Siemens Networks Employee identified prior to Closing as a Tainted Employee is either terminated prior to Closing or such Tainted Employee is not transferred to NSN or any NSN Group Company on or with effect from Closing and such person shall be deemed not to be a Siemens Networks Employee for the purposes of clauses 16.1 to 16.12.

17.		EMPLOYEE RETENTION PLAN

		As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of the Original Agreement, Nokia and Siemens agree to implement an employee retention bonus plan incorporating the principles set out in Schedule 11 (the "Retention Plan").

		In implementing this Transaction in relation to pensions, the parties shall give effect to the principles set out in Schedule 12.

19.		COMPLIANCE REVIEW

19.1		Siemens and Nokia shall conduct the Pre-Closing Compliance Review in accordance with the Common Interest and Confidentiality Agreement with a view to the Pre-Closing

- 61 -

In addition, the Compliance Work Plan developed by Siemens, with input from Nokia, shall include as a priority item the investigation and interview of key Siemens employees who will become employed by an NSN Group Company at Closing in order to determine whether such employees are Tainted Employees. Prior to the First Closing, Siemens will notify Nokia as promptly as possible of any Siemens Networks Employees it has identified as Tainted Employees as a result of the Pre-Closing Compliance Review.

19.3		Nokia and Siemens shall procure that no later than the Compliance Review Date their legal counsel shall prepare a joint report addressed to each of Nokia and Siemens on the progress achieved in completing the Compliance Work Plan. Not less than once in every seven days prior to completion of the Pre-Closing Compliance Review, Nokia and Siemens shall review the Compliance Work Plan and the status of the Pre-Closing Compliance Review.

19.4		Siemens shall pay to Nokia, or as Nokia may direct, an amount equal to the aggregate Compliance Costs reasonably incurred by Nokia in respect of the Pre-Closing Compliance Review not later than 30 days following a written request by Nokia, supported by copies of all relevant invoices.

in each case, for the period ending six (6) months after the conclusion of the Siemens Compliance Review not later than 30 days following a written request by Nokia or NSN (or as the case may be), supported by copies of all relevant invoices, AND ALWAYS PROVIDED THAT:

	(i)		each of Nokia and NSN shall on a quarterly basis commencing on 31 March 2007 provide Siemens with and discuss an estimate of the Compliance Costs that they each respectively expect to incur in the following quarterly period; and

	(ii)		Siemens shall not be obliged to make a payment pursuant to this clause 19.5 to Nokia in respect of Compliance Costs incurred by Nokia in investigating any matter which has previously been investigated by NSN, or to NSN in respect of Compliance Costs incurred by NSN in investigating any matter which has

- 62 -

previously been investigated by Nokia, unless, in either case, there has been a material change in the information available to Nokia or NSN (as the case may be) in relation to such matter which may substantially change the assessment of its significance.

19.6		Siemens shall pay to NSN, or to any NSN Group Company, as it may direct, an amount equal to NSN's reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Siemens Compliance Review.

19.7		Nokia and NSN shall each use all reasonable efforts to mitigate all Compliance Costs they may seek to recover pursuant to clauses 19.4, 19.5 or 19.6.

19.8		Prior to Closing, Nokia and Siemens shall agree the terms of a Compliance and Ethics Program in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 14. At Closing, NSN shall establish such agreed Compliance and Ethics Program and shall thereafter maintain a Compliance and Ethics Program complying with the provisions of Schedule 14. Siemens agrees that any legal entity operating any part of the Siemens Networks Business between First Closing and Delayed Closing shall comply with the Compliance and Ethics Program established by NSN.

	19.9.2		Siemens has made payment in full in respect of those Compliance Costs pursuant to Clause 19.5 or in respect of those out of pocket expenses pursuant to Clause19.6 (as the case may be); and

	19.9.3		Nokia or NSN (as the case may be) has obtained a reduction in Tax from the utilisation by it of such Relief,

then Nokia or NSN (as the case may be) shall pay to Siemens an amount equal to the lesser of that reduction in Tax and the amount paid by Siemens pursuant to Clause 19.5 or Clause 19.6 (as the case may be) within 20 Business Days. The provisions of clause 41 of this Agreement shall not apply to an obligation of Nokia or NSN (as the case may be) to pay any amount to Siemens pursuant to this clause 19.9.

35.		INVALIDITY

		If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, that shall not affect or impair the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction any other provision of this Agreement.

		A person who is not a party to this Agreement shall have no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any of its terms, save that where in this Agreement an indemnity is expressed to be given in favour of a person who is not a party to this Agreement, such indemnities (but no other term of this Agreement) are intended

- 71 -

to be enforceable by that person by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

37.		COUNTERPARTS

		This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the parties on separate counterparts, but shall not be effective until each party has executed at least one counterpart. Each counterpart shall constitute an original of this Agreement, but the counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

38.		EFFECT OF CLOSING

		Any provision of this Agreement and any other documents referred to in it which is capable of being performed after but which has not been performed at or before Closing and all Warranties and covenants and other undertakings contained in or entered into pursuant to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding Closing.

39.		ENTIRE AGREEMENT

39.1		This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the agreements entered into pursuant to this Business Combination Agreement and the other agreements entered into at Closing set out the entire agreement between the parties to this Agreement and those documents in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the exclusion of any terms implied by law which may be excluded by contract and supersedes any previous written or oral agreement between the parties in relation to the matters dealt with in this Agreement.

39.2		Each party acknowledges that it has not been induced to enter into this Agreement by any representation, warranty or undertaking not expressly incorporated into it.

39.3		So far as permitted by law and except in the case of fraud, each party agrees and acknowledges that its only right and remedy in relation to any warranty, representation or undertaking given in connection with this Agreement shall be a claim for damages for breach of the terms of this Agreement to the exclusion of all other rights or remedies (including those in tort or arising under statute).

39.4		Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, NSN acknowledges and agrees that, save as expressly set out in this Agreement and the documents referred to in it, no representation, warranty or other assurance has been given by any of the Shareholders in respect of any protection, forecast or other forward looking information.

40.		VAT

40.1		In this Agreement, except as otherwise provided, the amount of any payment for a supply of goods or services or the value of any supply made or deemed to be made by a Shareholder (or any Affiliate of a Shareholder) or NSN (or any Affiliate of NSN) pursuant to this Agreement shall be taken to be exclusive of amounts in respect of VAT properly chargeable on the supply and the amount of such VAT shall be paid in addition to any payment due under this Agreement or, if no payment is due, shall be paid at the time the supply is made or a proper VAT invoice is issued, whichever is earlier.

- 72 -

40.2		Nokia and NSN intend that the Networks Assets shall, wherever possible, be transferred as a going concern for the purposes of VAT.

40.3		Siemens and NSN intend that the assets of the Networks Assets shall, wherever possible, be transferred as a going concern for the purposes of VAT.

40.4		Accordingly, in each relevant jurisdiction:

	40.4.1		Nokia shall (or shall procure that its relevant Affiliate shall), and NSN shall (or shall procure that its relevant Affiliate shall) use all reasonable efforts to secure any applicable conditions are fulfilled so that each transfer of Nokia Networks Assets is properly treated as neither a supply of goods nor a supply of services for the purposes of VAT where the jurisdiction in which the relevant Nokia Networks Assets are located has given effect to Article 5(8) of Directive 77/388/EEC or to ensure that any similar or analogous treatment or relief is obtained in any other relevant jurisdiction; and

	40.4.2		Siemens shall (or shall procure that its relevant Affiliate shall), and NSN shall (or shall procure that its relevant Affiliate shall) use all reasonable efforts to secure any applicable conditions are fulfilled so that each transfer of Siemens Networks Assets is properly treated as neither a supply of goods nor a supply of services for the purposes of VAT where the jurisdiction in which the relevant Siemens Networks Assets are located has given effect to Article 5(8) of Directive 77/388/EEC or to ensure that any similar or analogous treatment or relief is obtained in any other relevant jurisdiction.

40.5		Without limiting clauses 40.2 and 40.3, where the Tax Authority in a relevant jurisdiction gives a ruling on the VAT treatment of the transfer of Nokia Networks Assets or the Siemens Networks Assets (as the case may be) in that jurisdiction, VAT shall be treated as payable if the relevant Tax Authority rules that it is payable. If the relevant Tax Authority has done so before Closing, NSN (on its own behalf and, if relevant, on behalf of its relevant Affiliate) shall pay amounts in respect of the VAT on Closing. If the relevant Tax Authority does so on or after Closing, NSN (on its own behalf and, of relevant, on behalf of its relevant Affiliate) shall pay amounts in respect of the VAT within three Business Days after the relevant Shareholder gives NSN written notice of the ruling.

40.6		If one party ("Party A") is required by the terms of this Agreement to reimburse another party ("Party B") for any cost or expense, Party A shall reimburse Party B for the full amount of such cost or expense, including any part of its which represents amounts in respect of VAT, except where this Agreement provides otherwise save to the extent that Party B (or its Affiliate) is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of that VAT from any Tax Authority.

41.		WITHHOLDING, DEDUCTIONS AND SET OFF

41.1		All sums payable under this Agreement by either Shareholder to any NSN Group Company (or by one Shareholder (or any of its Affiliates) to the other Shareholder (or any of its Affiliates) where the sum so payable is payable under this Agreement in respect of any Claim, pursuant to any indemnity set out in this Agreement or pursuant to

- 73 -

		clauses 13 or 19 of this Agreement) shall be made in full without any set-off or counterclaim and free and clear of all deductions or withholdings of any kind, save only as may be required by law, in which event such deduction or withholding shall not exceed the minimum amount required by law.

41.2		If any deduction or withholding is required by law from any payment made under this Agreement:

	41.2.1		in respect of any Claim;

	41.2.2		pursuant to any indemnity set out in this Agreement;

	41.2.3		pursuant to clauses 6, 13 or 19 of this Agreement; or

	41.2.4		pursuant to the Environmental Deed,

		by either Shareholder to any NSN Group Company (or by one Shareholder (or any of its Affiliates) to the other Shareholder (or any of its Affiliates) where the payment is made under this Agreement in respect of any Claim, pursuant to any indemnity set out in this Agreement or pursuant to clauses 13 or 19 of this Agreement) or if any NSN Group Company shall incur any liability for Tax chargeable or assessable in respect of any such payment (or if a Shareholder (or any of its Affiliates) shall incur any liability for Tax chargeable or assessable in respect of any payment made under this Agreement in respect of any Claim, pursuant to any indemnity set out in this Agreement or pursuant to clauses 13 or 19 of this Agreement) then, except in relation to payments of interest, the party making the payment shall pay the recipient such additional sum (the "Additional Sum") as will, after such deduction or withholding has been made (and after taking into account any Tax payable in respect of the payment to the NSN Group Company (or to a Shareholder (or to any of its Affiliates)) of the Additional Sum), leave the recipient with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive under this Agreement in the absence of any such requirement to make a deduction or withholding or in the absence of such liability to Tax.

41.3		If any party pays an Additional Sum under this Agreement and the recipient receives, by virtue of the receipt of that Additional Sum (or in relation to the matter giving rise to the payment of that Additional Sum), a Relief or a credit for, refund of or relief from other monies payable by it or a similar benefit by reason of any deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax or by reason of any Tax charged in respect of which there is an additional amount under this clause 41.3, then that party shall reimburse to the other relevant party the amount of such Relief, credit, refund or similar benefit within 20 Business Days.

42.		LIABILITY OF THE SHAREHOLDERS

		Unless otherwise expressly set out in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the rights and obligations of the Shareholders shall be several and not joint and the exercise of rights by one shall not depend on the exercise of rights by the other and neither shall have any liability in respect of any delay or default by the other.

- 74 -

43.		CHOICE OF GOVERNING LAW, ESCALATION, ARBITRATION

43.1		This Agreement shall be governed by English law.

43.2		Subject to clauses 43.3 to 43.12, the Shareholders and NSN will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve expeditiously any differences, disagreements, disputes, controversies or claims (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise) that may arise out of or relate to, or arise under or in connection with, this Agreement (a "Dispute") on a mutually acceptable, negotiated basis. Any party involved in a Dispute may deliver a notice (an "Escalation Notice") demanding an in-person meeting with any Other Party also involved in that Dispute when the representatives of the affected parties shall use their reasonable efforts to meet within 30 days of the Escalation Notice (or such shorter time as is necessary to avoid immediate irreparable injury).

43.3		If such representatives are not able to resolve the Dispute within 30 days after the date of the Escalation Notice (or such shorter time as is necessary to avoid immediate irreparable injury), then the Dispute shall be submitted to a committee consisting of one senior executive of each Shareholder.

43.4		If the parties are not able to resolve the Dispute through the processes set forth in clauses 43.1 to 43.3 within 60 days after the date of the Escalation Notice (or such shorter time as is necessary to avoid immediate irreparable injury), but not before such Dispute shall be finally determined, at the request of either of the Shareholders by arbitration, which shall be conducted in accordance with the remainder of this clause 43.

43.5		The provisions of clauses 43.2 to 43.4 shall not apply in the event of any application for interim or conservative measures in accordance with clause 43.7 below.

43.6		Any Dispute which cannot be resolved by the parties in accordance with the escalation procedure set out in clauses 43.2 to 43.4 above shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the "ICC Rules") by three arbitrators. Each of the parties shall nominate one arbitrator and the two party nominated arbitrators shall nominate a third arbitrator who will act as the Chairman of the Tribunal subject to appointment in accordance with the ICC Rules. Each of the arbitrators shall be English law qualified, London-based, Queen's Counsel with experience of commercial disputes and international arbitration. The seat of the arbitration shall be in London, England, the language of the arbitration shall be English and the procedural law governing any arbitration hereunder shall be English law.

43.7		The Parties agree that Article 23 of the ICC Rules shall be modified for the purposes of any arbitration arising under this clause as follows:

43.7.1

"Unless the parties have otherwise agreed, as soon as the file has been transmitted to it, the Arbitral Tribunal may, at the request of a party, order any interim or conservatory measures it deems appropriate. The Arbitral Tribunal may make the granting of any such measure subject to appropriate security being furnished by the requesting party. Any such measure shall take the form of an order, giving reasons, or of an Award, as the Tribunal considers appropriate.

- 75 -

	43.7.2		Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 23.1 above, the parties may apply to the High Court of England and Wales (the "English Court") or the Courts of the Netherlands (the "Dutch Court") for interim or conservatory measures at any time before the Arbitral Tribunal publishes a final award provided that no application for materially the same interim or conservatory relief has already been made to the Arbitral Tribunal. The application of a party to the English Court or Dutch Court for such measures shall not be deemed to be an infringement or a waiver of the arbitration agreement and shall not affect the relevant powers reserved to the Arbitral Tribunal unless the English Court or Dutch Court (as the case may be) has declined jurisdiction in favour of the Arbitral Tribunal, save that no application for materially the same interim or conservatory relief can be made to the Arbitral Tribunal. Any such application and any measures ordered by the English Court or Dutch Court must be notified without delay to the Secretariat and to the Arbitral Tribunal if constituted.

	43.7.3		The parties may further apply to any competent judicial authority for the implementation or enforcement of any interim or conservatory measures ordered by the English Court or Dutch Court or awarded by an Arbitral Tribunal, and any such application shall not be deemed to be an infringement or a waiver of the arbitration agreement and shall not affect the relevant powers reserved to the Arbitral Tribunal. Any such application must be notified without delay to the Secretariat and to the Arbitral Tribunal if constituted.

43.8		The parties acknowledge that damages would be unlikely to be an adequate remedy for a breach of any one of many of the obligations in this Agreement, including without limitation, a breach of the confidentiality provisions contained herein, and that in such circumstances the innocent party may require immediate injunctive relief.

43.9		The parties further agree that the existence and substance of any arbitration or English Court or Dutch Court proceedings and all documents arising out of or produced in relation to any such proceedings ("Proceedings Information") shall be treated as strictly confidential and may not be disclosed to any other party except as may be necessary and appropriate to their professional advisors, insurers, reinsurers, auditors, agents, brokers, regulators, investors or employees, or as required by law or regulation. Subject to the consent of the other parties hereto (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), a party may disclose Proceedings Information to a third party provided the third party enters into a suitable confidentiality agreement.

43.10		Any party wishing to commence proceedings in the English Court or Dutch Court for interim or conservatory measures shall make an application for the proceedings to be heard on a confidential basis.

43.11		The Arbitral Tribunal shall determine which party shall bear the costs of the arbitration, and if both, in what proportion, and shall further determine whether all or part of one party's costs of the arbitration shall be borne by the other. To the extent that the English Court or Dutch Court does not finally determine any issue as to costs relating to an application made to the English Court or Dutch Court (as the case may be), the Arbitral Tribunal shall determine such issue as part of its final award.

- 76 -

43.12		The parties hereby agree that if any dispute submitted to arbitration pursuant to this clause 43 raises issues which are substantially the same as or connected with issues raised in a dispute which has already been referred to arbitration pursuant to this clause 43 or a dispute between the parties under the Shareholders' Agreement which has already been referred to arbitration (in either case an "Existing Dispute"), or arises out of substantially the same facts as are the subject of an Existing Dispute (in either case, a "Related Dispute"), the Arbitral Tribunal appointed or to be appointed in respect of such Existing Dispute shall also be appointed as the Arbitral Tribunal in respect of the Related Dispute. In such case, the Arbitral Tribunal may, having regard to the stage of the proceedings of the Existing Dispute and other relevant circumstances, consolidate the proceedings arising out of the Existing Dispute and the Related Dispute. For this purpose the Parties adhere to and consent to be bound by the arbitration agreement contained in the Shareholders' Agreement. In the event that there is any dispute as to whether a Dispute is a Related Dispute for the purposes of this clause 43.12, such dispute shall be resolved by the Arbitral Tribunal appointed or to be appointed in respect of the relevant Existing Dispute.

44.		APPOINTMENT OF PROCESS AGENT

44.1		Nokia hereby irrevocably appoints Nokia UK Limited of Lancaster House, Lancaster Way, Ermine Business Park, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire PE29 6YJ as its agent to accept service of process in England in any legal action or proceedings arising out of this Agreement, service upon whom shall be deemed completed whether or not forwarded to or received by Nokia.

44.2		Siemens hereby irrevocably appoints Siemens plc of Siemens House, Oldbury, Bracknell, Berkshire RG12 8FZ as its agent to accept service of process in England in any legal action or proceedings arising out of this Agreement, service upon whom shall be deemed completed whether or not forwarded to or received by Siemens.

44.3		Nokia and Siemens shall procure that NSN irrevocably appoints a person in England as its agent to accept service of process in England in any legal action or proceedings arising out of this Agreement, service upon whom shall be deemed completed whether or not forwarded to or received by NSN.

44.4		Each party shall inform the others, in writing, of any change in the address of its process agent within 28 days of such change.

44.5		If any such process agent ceases to be able to act as such or to have an address in England, each party irrevocably agrees to appoint a new process agent in England and to deliver to the others within 14 days of receipt a copy of a written acceptance of appointment by the new process agent.

44.6		Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

45.		ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS BY NSN

		Prior to First Closing NSN shall not enforce any of its rights under this Agreement without the written direction of both Shareholders.
