6.7            Confidentiality.

 

(a)            Except as permitted under Section 6.8, each Party shall not, and shall direct its Affiliates and representatives not to, without the prior written consent of the other Party, disclose any Confidential Information received by it (the “Recipient”) from the other Party (the “Discloser”). Each Party shall not and shall direct its Affiliates and representatives not to, use any Confidential Information for any purpose other than for the purposes of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein.

 

(b)            Subject to Section 6.7(c), the Recipient shall safeguard and return to the Discloser, on demand, any Confidential Information which falls within clause (a) of the definition of Confidential Information, and in the case of electronic data that constitutes Confidential Information, to return or destroy such Confidential Information at the option of the Recipient.

 

(c)            Each Recipient may retain in a secure archive a copy of the Confidential Information referred to in Section 6.7(b) if the Confidential Information is required to be retained by it for regulatory purposes or in connection with a bona fide document retention policy.

 

(d)            Each Party acknowledges that, in relation to Confidential Information received from the other Party, the obligations contained in this Section 6.7 shall apply for a period from and including the date hereof through the date that is twelve (12) months following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2 or the Second Closing Date, as applicable, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing.

 

6.8            Permitted Disclosures. Each Party may make disclosures of the Confidential Information (i) to its Affiliates, representatives and professional advisors as such Party reasonably deems necessary to give effect to or enforce this Agreement, but only on a confidential basis; (ii) to any member of the Buyer Consortium (as defined under the Consortium Agreement) or any of their respective Affiliates, but only on a confidential basis; (iii) to any investor in the Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, representatives and professional advisors, but only on a confidential basis; (iv) if required by applicable law or the rules or regulations of any securities exchange or governmental authority having competent jurisdiction over such Party, but only after the form and terms of such disclosure have been notified to the other Party and the other Party has had a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon, in each case to the extent reasonably practicable; or (v) if the information is publicly available other than through a breach of this Agreement by such Party or its Affiliates or representatives.

6.9            Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

 

6.10            Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any person or entity not a Party to this Agreement. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by any Party hereto (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (in the case of a proposed assignment by the Seller) or the Seller (in the case of a proposed assignment by the Purchaser) (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and any attempted assignment without the required consent shall be void.

 

6.11            Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof.

 

6.12            Dispute Resolution.

 

(a)            Any dispute, actions and proceedings against any Party arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) and resolved in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of HKIAC in force at the relevant time and as may be amended by this Section 6.12 (the “Rules”). The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The official language of the arbitration shall be English and the tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators (each, an “Arbitrator”). The claimant(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one (1) Arbitrator; the respondent(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one (1) Arbitrator; and a third (3rd) Arbitrator will be nominated jointly by the first two (2) Arbitrators and shall serve as chairman of the arbitration tribunal. In the event the claimant(s) or respondent(s) or the first two (2) Arbitrators shall fail to nominate or agree the joint nomination of an Arbitrator or the third (3rd) Arbitrator within the time limits specified by the Rules, such Arbitrator shall be appointed promptly by the HKIAC. The arbitration tribunal shall have no authority to award punitive or other punitive-type damages. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the disputing parties. Any party to an award may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award and, for purposes of the enforcement of such award, the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction and waive any defenses to such enforcement based on lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.

(b)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereby consent to and agree that in addition to any recourse to arbitration as set out in Section 6.12(a), any Party may, to the extent permitted under the rules and procedures of the HKIAC, seek an interim injunction or other form of relief from the HKIAC as provided for in its Rules. Such application shall also be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York.

 

(c)            The Parties hereto agree that the obligations imposed on them in this Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character and irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each Party to this Agreement (a) shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the forum described in this Section 6.12, without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity, and (b) hereby waives any requirement for the posting of any bond or similar collateral in connection therewith. Each Party hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (i) the other Party has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally, by international courier or by electronic mail to the Parties at the following addresses (or to such other address as a Party may have specified by notice given to the other Party pursuant to this provision):
