Other Indemnification Provisions.

Seller and the Controlling Shareholder each hereby agrees that he, she, or it will not make any claim for indemnification against the Company by reason of the fact that he, she, or it was a director, officer, employee, or agent of any such entity or was serving at the request of any such entity as a partner, trustee, director, officer, employee, or agent of another entity (whether such claim is for judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, losses, expenses, or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any statute, charter document, bylaw, agreement, or otherwise) with respect to any action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim, or demand brought by Gushan or Engen against Seller or the Controlling Shareholder (whether such action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim, or demand is pursuant to this Agreement, applicable law, or otherwise).

 

  (g) Currency. In respect of any judgment or order given or made for any amount due hereunder that is expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than United States dollars, Seller and the Controlling Shareholder, jointly and severally, will indemnify each of the other Parties hereto against any loss incurred by such Party as a result of any variation as between (a) the rate of exchange at which the United States dollar amount is converted into the judgment currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (b) the rate of exchange at which such Party is able to purchase United States dollars with the amount of the judgment currency actually received by such Party. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of Seller and the Controlling Shareholder, jointly and severally, and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into United States dollars.

  (b) Straddle Period. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time).

 

  (c) Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns. Engen shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company that are filed after the Closing Date.

 

  (d) Cooperation on Tax Matters.

 

  (i) Gushan, Engen, the Controlling Shareholder, the Company, and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to §14(c) herein and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Seller and the Controlling Shareholder shall and shall cause the Company (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other Party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other Party so requests, the Company, the Controlling Shareholder or Seller, as the case may be, shall allow the other Party to take possession of such books and records.

  (b) Seller and the Controlling Shareholder each understands that the Engen Shares purchased pursuant to this agreement have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the representations of Seller as expressed herein.

Each Party will bear its own attorney’s fees and costs in connection with the internal dispute resolution process; except, to the extent the parties otherwise agree in writing to share equally any costs incurred.

If these representatives cannot resolve the dispute or either of them determines they are not making progress toward the resolution of the dispute within thirty (30) business days after their initial conference, then the dispute will be settled by arbitration in accordance with the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules in force at the date of commencement of the arbitration.

  (iv) When three arbitrators have been appointed in any arbitration, the award will be given by a majority decision. If there is no majority, the award will be made by the presiding arbitrator of the arbitral tribunal alone.

 

  (v) Any award given by an arbitral tribunal will be final and binding. By agreeing to arbitration, the parties waive irrevocably their right to any form of appeal, review or recourse to any state court or other judicial authority, insofar as such waiver may validly be made and insofar as any award in such arbitration may be refused enforcement under the provisions of the 1958 New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards.

 

  (vi) The parties hereby agree that their choice of the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules is made pursuant to Article 19 of the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration.
