Where the Unused Offsettable Amount fails to be transferred to PipeChina within the said 12 months and PetroChina fails to take any active and effective measures to procure that PipeChina will receive the corresponding Unused Offsettable Amount in any other reasonable and legal commercial form, PetroChina shall pay PipeChina a corresponding compensatory amount within 10 Business Days after 12 months following completion of this Transaction. Where the Unused Offsettable Amount fails to be transferred to PipeChina within 12 months after the Closing Date due to the impact of any state policy, the Parties shall resolve the problem through negotiations in light of the actual situation.

14.6

Both Parties agree that if it is necessary to go through the tax de-registration for a branch company taxpayer which originally owns any Non-equity Assets, PetroChina shall authorize the relevant legal entity which owns such Non-equity Assets by then to complete such tax de-registration, including the tax declaration obligations for the period from the Closing Date until the de-registration date, with any costs, taxes and expenses incurred in connection with such tax de-registration to be borne as agreed between the Parties.
