(1)        Each Selling Shareholder, severally and not jointly, agrees to make all filings and registrations with Governmental Authorities required by applicable Law to be made by it in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.  The Selling Shareholders shall engage, and hereby authorize, a qualified tax filing agent (the “Filing Agent”) to, and shall procure the Filing Agent to, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, (x) prepare, or cause to be prepared, a set of all documents required to be submitted by the Selling

 

11



 

Shareholders to the relevant PRC Tax authority under Circular 7 in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the “Circular 7 Filing”), and (y) submit the Circular 7 Filing on behalf of the Selling Shareholders to the relevant PRC Tax authority. The Selling Shareholders agree to make best efforts to timely submit, or cause the Filing Agent to timely submit, all documents supplementally requested by the relevant PRC Tax authority in connection with the Circular 7 Filing.

 

(2)        The Selling Shareholders undertake to the Company that they shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, complete the Circular 7 Filing pursuant to sub-clauses (x) and (y) of Section 7.2(ii)(1) and shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, deliver to the Company a copy of the written receipt or assessment notices issued by the relevant PRC Tax authority in connection with the Circular 7 Filing, if available. The Selling Shareholders further undertake to the Company that they shall in any event within three (3) months from the Closing make an initial submission of the Circular 7 Filing to the relevant PRC Tax authority. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Selling Shareholder fails to make an initial submission of the Circular 7 Filing within three (3) months from the Closing due to reasons attributable to the Company, the indemnification under Section 8.1 shall not apply with respect to such failure. The Company agrees that all information provided by the Selling Shareholders to them or otherwise made available to them under Section 7.2 shall be treated as Confidential Information and shall not disclose to any third party except in accordance with Section 7.1 hereof.

 

(3)    To the extent that any Selling Shareholder is determined by the relevant PRC Tax authority to be required by applicable Law to pay Taxes in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, it shall act in accordance with Section 7.4 and shall provide the Company, as soon as reasonably practicable, with copy of evidence that such Taxes have been paid in the form of a receipt of payment issued by the relevant PRC Tax authority.

 

(4)    The Selling Shareholders shall procure that the Filing Agent regularly follow up with the relevant PRC Tax authority on the Circular 7 Filing and shall, upon written request of the Company, give updates to the Company as to the determination and payment status of any Taxes assessed by the relevant PRC Tax authority in respect of the Selling Shareholders in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.

 

(5)    The Selling Shareholders shall cooperate with the Company as and to the extent necessary or reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the Circular 7 Filing or provision of information supplemental thereto requested by the relevant PRC tax authority.

 

(6)    The Company shall cooperate with the Selling Shareholders as and to the extent necessary or reasonably requested by the Selling Shareholders in connection with the Circular 7 Filing or provision of information supplemental thereto requested by the relevant PRC tax authority. In the event that any Selling Shareholder fails to complete the submission of its Circular 7 Filling due to reasons solely attributed to the Company and the relevant PRC Tax authority imposes any interests, fines or other penalties upon such Selling Shareholder as a result thereof, the Company shall bear and pay any such interests, fines or other penalties.

 

7.3       Joint Bank Account.  No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall open three bank accounts with a bank outside the PRC (each a “Joint Bank Account”), and each Selling Shareholder and the Company may each designate a joint signatory to one Joint Bank Account for such Selling Shareholder.  Each Joint Bank Account shall be operated jointly by all authorized signatories designated to such account, and the Company shall procure that no withdrawal or transfer or other disposal of funds out of any Joint Bank Account shall be permitted without the joint written authorization of the authorized signatories designated by both the Company and relevant Selling Shareholder.  The Company shall not take any steps to remove or replace the authorized signatories designated by the relevant Selling Shareholder as the joint signatories to any Joint Bank Account without the prior written approval of such Selling Shareholder.

 

12



 

7.4       Distribution of Escrow Funds.

 

(i)         If any Selling Shareholder fails to complete the submission of its Circular 7 Filing with the relevant PRC Tax authority pursuant to Section 7.2(ii), then, within three (3) Business Days after the second anniversary of the Closing, such Selling Shareholder and the Company shall promptly jointly authorize and instruct the relevant bank to release and transfer the then-remaining Escrow Funds from the applicable Joint Bank Account to a bank account of the Company which the Company has specified in writing.  If the Escrow Funds with respect to any Selling Shareholder have been released and transferred to the Company in accordance with this Section 7.4(i), following a written notice from the applicable PRC Tax authority that a member of the Company Group is required to pay an amount of Taxes on behalf of such Selling Shareholder in connection with the sale and repurchase of the relevant Repurchased Shares (together with a copy of the written assessment notices issued by such PRC Tax authority), the Company shall promptly provide a written notice to such Selling Shareholder and pay an amount equal to the lower of (x) the amount of such Taxes as notified by the applicable PRC Tax authority and (y) the amount of the Escrowed Funds with respect to such Selling Shareholder that have been previously released and transferred to the Company. If there is any remaining Escrow Funds after the payment of Taxes (plus any interests or fines payable thereon, if applicable), the Company shall release and transfer such surplus amount to a bank account such Selling Shareholder has specified in writing. If the amount paid by the Company is less than the amount of such Taxes as notified by the applicable PRC Tax authority, the aforementioned Selling Shareholder shall pay such shortfall and any interest and penalties related thereto to the applicable PRC Tax authority and shall remain responsible for any Indemnifiable Loss suffered, incurred or sustained by any Company Indemnified Party or to which such Company Indemnified Party becomes subject, directly or indirectly, in connection with such Tax obligations.

 

(ii)        If any Selling Shareholder has completed the submission of its Circular 7 Filing with the relevant PRC Tax authority pursuant to Section 7.2(ii) but the relevant PRC Tax Authority fails to issue a written assessment or a written determination of Taxes in connection with the Repurchased Shares sold by such Selling Shareholder, then, within three (3) Business Days after the first anniversary of the Closing, such Selling Shareholder and the Company shall promptly jointly authorize and instruct the relevant bank to release and transfer the then-remaining Escrow Funds from the applicable Joint Bank Account to a bank account which such Selling Shareholder has specified in writing.  If the Escrow Funds with respect to any Selling Shareholder have been released and transferred to such Selling Shareholder in accordance with this Section 7.4(ii), (x) following a written notice from the applicable PRC Tax authority that such Selling Shareholder shall pay an amount of Taxes in connection with the sale and repurchase of the relevant Repurchased Shares, or (y) following a written notice by the Company to such Selling Shareholder that the applicable PRC Tax authority has requested in writing that a member of the Company Group is required to pay an amount of Taxes on behalf of such Selling Shareholder in connection with the sale and repurchase of the relevant Repurchased Shares, such Selling Shareholder shall promptly use its own funds to pay any such amount to the relevant PRC Tax authority and provide to the Company a copy of tax payment receipt issued by the relevant PRC Tax authority evidencing that any and all Tax required to be paid by such Selling Shareholder (or in the case of clause (y), such member of the Company Group ) in connection with the sale and repurchase of the relevant Repurchased Shares has been paid in full.

 

(iii)       Upon the delivery by any Selling Shareholder to the Company of a copy of written assessment issued by the relevant PRC Tax authority evidencing its determination that no Taxes are due from such Selling Shareholder in connection with the sale and repurchase of the relevant Repurchased Shares, the Company and such Selling Shareholder shall, as soon as practicable (but in any event within three (3) Business Days), jointly authorize and instruct the relevant bank to release and transfer to a bank account of the Selling Shareholder which the Selling Shareholder has specified in writing the then-remaining Escrow Funds with respect to such Selling Shareholder.

 

13



 

(iv)       In the event that the relevant PRC Tax authority has made a written determination that a certain amount of Taxes (plus any interests or fines payable thereon, if applicable) is required to be paid by any Selling Shareholder in connection with the sale and repurchase of the Repurchased Shares, such Selling Shareholder shall promptly provide a copy of written notice to the Company of such determination together with a copy of the written assessment notices issued by such PRC Tax authority, whereupon such Selling Shareholder and Company shall promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days after its receipt of such written notice) jointly authorize and instruct the relevant bank to: (x) release and transfer from the applicable Joint Bank Account the amount of Taxes (plus any interests or fines payable thereon, if applicable) to a bank account of the relevant PRC Tax authority and (y) to the extent there is any remaining Escrow Funds in such Joint Bank Account after the payment of Taxes (plus any interests or fines payable thereon, if applicable), release and transfer from the Joint Bank Account such surplus amount to a bank account such Selling Shareholder has specified in writing.  In the event that the amount of the then-remaining Escrow Funds with respect to any Selling Shareholder is less than the amount of Taxes (plus any interests or fines payable thereon, if applicable) required to be paid by such Selling Shareholder in connection with the sale and repurchase of the relevant Repurchased Shares, such Selling Shareholder shall promptly use its own funds to pay any such shortfall amount to the relevant PRC Tax authority and provide to the Company a copy of tax payment receipt issued by the relevant PRC Tax authority evidencing that any and all Tax required to be paid by such Selling Shareholder in connection with the sale and repurchase of the relevant Repurchased Shares has been paid in full.

 

(v)        For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree and acknowledge that, in the event that any Selling Shareholder breaches any provisions of this Section 7.4 (including by failing to timely complete the actions required by this Section 7.4) and the relevant PRC Tax authority imposes any interests, fines or other penalties upon such Selling Shareholder and/or any member of the Company Group as a result thereof or there are any other Taxes related to the relevant Consideration paid to such Selling Shareholder or otherwise with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby, such Selling Shareholder shall bear and pay any such interests, fines other penalties and Taxes and indemnify the Company Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.1(i) and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement.

 

(vi)       The fees and expenses of each Joint Bank Account shall be borne by the relevant Selling Shareholder that designates a joint signatory to such Joint Bank Account, and the Selling Shareholders shall be jointly responsible for the fees and expenses for the engagement of the Filing Agent.

 

8.         Miscellaneous.

 

8.1       Indemnity.

 

(i)         The representations and warranties of the Selling Shareholders set forth under Section 4 shall survive the Closing, and such representations and warranties shall in no way be affected by any investigation of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Company.

 

(ii)        From and after the Closing, each Selling Shareholder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company and its employees, Affiliates, agents and assigns (each a “Company Indemnified Party”) against any and all Indemnifiable Loss suffered, incurred or sustained by any Company Indemnified Party or to which such Company Indemnified Party becomes subject, directly or indirectly, as a result of or in connection with any (i) breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations and warranties made by such Selling Shareholder under this Agreement or any other certificate or document delivered by such Selling Shareholder under this Agreement; and (ii) breach by such Selling Shareholder of its covenants, agreements, undertakings, Liabilities or obligations under this Agreement.

 

14



 

(iii)       Except in the case of fraud, the aggregate amount payable by any Selling Shareholder to the Company Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 8.1 shall not exceed the Consideration it receives hereunder.

 

8.2       Governing LawThis Agreement, including the dispute resolution clause below, shall be governed by and construed under the Laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the PRC, without regard to principles of conflicts of law thereunder.

 

8.3       Dispute Resolution.

 

(i)         Any dispute, controversy or claim (each, a “Dispute”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the interpretation, breach, termination or validity hereof, shall be resolved at the first instance through consultation between the parties to such Dispute.  Such consultation shall begin immediately after any party has delivered written notice to any other party to the Dispute requesting such consultation.

 

(ii)        If the Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days following the date on which such notice is given, the Dispute shall be submitted to arbitration upon the request of any party to the Dispute with notice to each other party to the Dispute (the “Arbitration Notice”).

 

(iii)       The arbitration shall be conducted in Hong Kong and shall be administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) in accordance with the HKIAC Procedures for the Administration of International Arbitration in force at the time of the commencement of the arbitration.  There shall be three (3) arbitrators.  The claimants in the Dispute shall collectively choose one arbitrator, and the respondents shall collectively choose one arbitrator.  The Secretary General of the HKIAC shall select the third arbitrator, who shall be qualified to practice law in Hong Kong.  If any of the members of the arbitral tribunal have not been appointed within thirty (30) days after the Arbitration Notice is given, the relevant appointment shall be made by the Secretary General of HKIAC.

 

(iv)       The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English.  The arbitration tribunal shall apply the Arbitration Rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law, as in effect at the time of the commencement of the arbitration.  However, if such rules are in conflict with the provisions of this Section 8.3, including the provisions concerning the appointment of arbitrators, the provisions of this Section 8.3 shall prevail.

 

(v)        Each party to the arbitration shall cooperate with each other party to the arbitration in making full disclosure of and providing complete access to all information and documents requested by such other party in connection with such arbitration proceedings, subject only to any confidentiality obligations binding on such party.

 

(vi)       The arbitrators shall decide any Dispute submitted by the parties to the arbitration tribunal strictly in accordance with the substantive law of Hong Kong and shall not apply any other substantive law.

 

(vii)      Any party to the Dispute shall be entitled to seek preliminary injunctive relief, if possible, from any court of competent jurisdiction pending the constitution of the arbitral tribunal.

 

(viii)     The Parties to this Agreement agree to the consolidation of arbitrations under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.3.

 

(1)                              In the event of two or more arbitrations having been commenced under this Agreement, the tribunal in the arbitration first filed (the “Principal Tribunal”) may in its sole discretion, upon the

 

15



 

application of any party to the arbitrations, order that the proceedings be consolidated before the Principal Tribunal if (i) there are issues of fact and/or law common to the arbitrations, (ii) the interests of justice and efficiency would be served by such a consolidation, and (iii) no prejudice would be caused to any party in any material respect as a result of such consolidation, whether through undue delay or otherwise.  Such application shall be made as soon as practicable and the party making such application shall give notice to the other parties to the arbitrations.

 

(2)                              The Principal Tribunal shall be empowered to (but shall not be obliged to) order at its discretion, after inviting written (and where desired oral) representations from the parties that all or any of such arbitrations shall be consolidated or heard together and/or that the arbitrations be heard immediately after another and shall establish a procedure accordingly.  All parties shall take such steps as are necessary to give effect and force to any orders of the Principal Tribunal.

 

(3)                              If the Principal Tribunal makes an order for consolidation, it: (i) shall thereafter, to the exclusion of other arbitral tribunals, have jurisdiction to resolve all disputes forming part of the consolidation order; (ii) shall order that notice of the consolidation order and its effect be given immediately to any arbitrators already appointed in relation to the disputes that were consolidated under the consolidation order; and (iii) may also give such directions as it considers appropriate (A) to give effect to the consolidation and make provision for any costs which may result from it (including costs in any arbitration rendered functus officio under Section 8.3); and (B) to ensure the proper organization of the arbitration proceedings and that all the issues between the parties are properly formulated and resolved.

 

(4)                              Upon the making of the consolidation order, any appointment of arbitrators relating to arbitrations that have been consolidated by the Principal Tribunal (except for the appointment of the arbitrators of the Principal Tribunal itself) shall for all purposes cease to have effect and such arbitrators are deemed to be functus officio, on and from the date of the consolidation order.  Such cessation is without prejudice to (i) the validity of any acts done or orders made by such arbitrators before termination, (ii) such arbitrators’ entitlement to be paid their proper fees and disbursements and (iii) the date when any claim or defense was raised for the purpose of applying any limitation period or any like rule or provision.

 

(5)                              The Parties hereby waive any objections they may have as to the validity and/or enforcement of any arbitral awards made by the Principal Tribunal following the consolidation of disputes or arbitral proceedings in accordance with this Section 8.3 where such objections are based solely on the fact that consolidation of the same has occurred.

 

(ix)       During the course of the arbitration tribunal’s adjudication of the Dispute, this Agreement shall continue to be performed except with respect to the part in Dispute and under adjudication.

 

16



 

(x)        The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the parties, and the prevailing party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award.

8.5       SeverabilityIf one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable Law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

8.6       Amendments and WaiversAny term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Parties.  Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each of the Parties hereto.

 

8.7       No Waiver.  Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions hereof will not be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant, or condition, nor will any waiver or relinquishment of, or failure to insist upon strict compliance with, any right, power or remedy hereunder at any one or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such right, power or remedy at any other time or times.

 

8.8       Rights Cumulative.  Each and all of the various rights, powers and remedies of a party hereto will be considered to be cumulative with and in addition to any other rights, powers and remedies which such Party may have at law or in equity in the event of the breach of any of the terms of this Agreement.  The exercise or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy will neither constitute the exclusive election thereof nor the waiver of any other right, power or remedy available to such Party.

 

8.9       Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any Party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other Party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting Party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring.  Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any Party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.  All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any Party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

 

17



 

8.10     No PresumptionThe Parties acknowledge that any applicable Law that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the Party that drafted it has no application and is expressly waived.  If any claim is made by a Party relating to any conflict, omission or ambiguity in the provisions of this Agreement, no presumption or burden of proof or persuasion will be implied because this Agreement was prepared by or at the request of any Party or its counsel.
