ARTICLE VI

COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS WITH THE COMPANY

6.1 Transfer Tax and Registration Fees. The parties hereto acknowledge that, unless exempted under an international treaty, under Indonesian law a foreign seller of shares of an Indonesian company is required to pay the Indonesian taxing agencies a transfer tax upon the sale and transfer of shares of an Indonesian company. Unless the foreign seller pays those taxes, the Indonesian agencies may levy the transfer tax on the Indonesian company whose shares are transferred, and the Indonesian company will thereafter have to pay the transfer tax. The transfer tax is equal to 5% of the purchase price of the transferred shares. Accordingly, unless the Seller is exempt from this transfer tax, the Seller is obligated to pay a transfer tax (“Seller’s Transfer Tax”) for the sale of the Shares (which tax is currently estimated to be $83,750). If the Seller’s Transfer Tax is not exempted under an international treaty, and if the Seller does not pay the Seller’s Transfer Tax, the Company may be required to pay the Seller’s Transfer Tax after the Closing. The Seller believes that it is exempt from the 5% Indonesian transfer tax based on an existing treaty between the U.S. and Indonesia. In order to avail itself of the tax exemption, the Seller must deliver to the Company a Certificate of Domicile issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, in the form required under Indonesian law, that certifies, among other things, that the Seller is a U.S. corporation and a resident of the U.S. for purposes of U.S. taxation. The Seller hereby agrees to use its commercial best efforts to obtain and to deliver a Certificate of Domicile to the Company within 45 days after the Closing. In the event that at any time during the five years following the Closing the Company becomes obligated to pay the Seller’s Transfer Tax for any reason, including because the Seller either does not deliver a Certificate of Domicile to the Company, or notwithstanding the Certificate of Domicile the Indonesian authorities nevertheless require payment of the Seller’s Transfer Tax, the Seller hereby agrees to reimburse the Company for the full amount of the transfer taxes that the Company actually pays in Indonesia on behalf of the Seller. The Seller hereby agrees to promptly reimburse the Company for any such transfer taxes upon presentation to the Seller of written evidence of the payment of such taxes on behalf of the Seller.

6.2 Consent to Transfer of the Shares. The Company hereby consents to the sale and transfer of the Shares in the manner contemplated by this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII
