completely secures in-time repayment of all amounts to be paid under
corresponding schedule by the Issuer on notes. The commitments of the

the Issuer. The Guarantor accepts responsibility to provide sufficient amount
of funds to the Issuer in order to meet his notes liabilities till the moment

the law of the Netherlands.

to circulation in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The appropriate decision #5 of
the National Securities Commission was given on July 12, 2001.
