6.4

Frustration of Conditions. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no party hereto may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in this Article 6 to be satisfied if such failure was caused by the failure of such party or its Affiliates to comply with or perform any of its covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement.

 

6.5

Deemed Waiver of Closing Conditions.

Release of the mortgage in this manner, and only in this manner, shall constitute the “Class A Contingent Shares Vesting Condition” for purposes of Article 14 of the Articles of Buyer.

 

7.2

The Class A Ordinary Shares that result from the vesting of the Class A Contingent Shares shall be subject to forfeiture in accordance with Articles 33 through 40 of the Articles of Buyer (but, for the avoidance of doubt, only upon notice being served in the manner described therein) with respect to any Seller that, within 20 Business Days after Buyer pays the Deferred Consideration Component to the Seller in accordance with Section 2.4(c), fails to pay in immediately available USD funds by wire transfer, into an account designated by Buyer of a USD amount as converted from the Seller’s Deferred Consideration Component set forth opposite the Seller’s name in Schedule 1 hereto by reference to the VND:USD spot selling rate quoted by the Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam on the date of such payment by the Seller to Buyer.

 

7.3

Once a Seller makes payment as specified in Section 7.2 (or provides to Buyer reasonably satisfactory evidence of such payment), the Class A Ordinary Shares of the Seller shall no longer be subject to forfeiture under clause (b) of Article 33 of the Articles of Buyer.

 

12


ARTICLE 8: MISCELLANEOUS

 

8.1

Survival. The representations and warranties of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement shall survive until the latest date permitted by law.

 

8.2

Termination.

 

  (a)

This Agreement shall terminate automatically without further action by the parties if the Closing fails to occur within 90 Business Days after the date hereof.

 

  (b)

This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Class A Contingent Shares Vesting Condition having been satisfied: (i) by mutual written agreement of Sellers and Buyer; or (ii) if Buyer has failed to perform its obligation in Section 2.4(c), by any Seller (with respect to itself only). The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2(b) shall give notice of such termination to the other parties.

 

  (c)

This Agreement may not be terminated after Buyer has performed its obligation in Section 2.4(c).

 

8.3

Effect of Termination: If this Agreement is terminated as permitted by Section 8.2, such termination shall be without liability of any party (or any stockholder, member, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such party) to any other party to this Agreement; provided that if such termination shall result from the (i) willful failure of either party to fulfill a condition to the performance of the obligations of the other party, (ii) failure to perform a covenant of this Agreement or (iii) breach by any party hereto of any representation or warranty or agreement contained herein, such party shall be fully liable for any and all damages incurred or suffered by the other parties as a result of such failure or breach. The liability of each Seller shall be several but not joint, and therefore each Seller shall be liable only any breach of such Seller itself.

8.5

Amendments and Waivers; Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

 

8.6

Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.

 

8.7

Successors and Assigns.

8.8

Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state.

 

8.9

Jurisdiction. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in Singapore in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Section. The Tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators. Buyer shall appoint one arbitrator, Sellers who are parties to the dispute shall jointly appoint another arbitrator, and the third arbitrator, who shall act as presiding arbitrator of the Tribunal, shall be chosen by the two arbitrators appointed by or on behalf of the parties. If the third arbitrator is not chosen by the two arbitrators within thirty (30) days of the date of appointment of the later of the two party-appointed arbitrators to be appointed, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the President of the Court of Arbitration of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre. The language of the arbitration shall be English.

 

8.10

Seller Employees Representative. Each party other than the Seller Employees Representative acknowledges that the Seller Employees Representative has been constituted and appointed to act as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact and exclusive agent, with full power of substitution, of certain individual employees of VNG or its subsidiaries (each, a “principal”) who have authorized the Seller Employees Representative acting for each principal and in such principal’s name, place and stead, in any and all capacities to do and perform every act and thing required, permitted, necessary or desirable to be done in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, as fully to all intents and purposes as such principal might or could do in person.

 

8.11

Counterparts; Effectiveness; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). No provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations, or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

 

14


8.12

Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes (and, in relation to the Class A Ordinary Shares and the Class A Contingent Shares, this Agreement and the Organizational Documents of Buyer constitute) the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

 

8.13

Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, 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 an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

 

8.14

Specific Performance. The parties hereby recognize, acknowledge and agree that the breach or violation of this Agreement by a party would cause irreparable damage to the other parties and that none of the parties has an adequate remedy at law. Each party shall therefore be entitled, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, to obtain specific performance of the terms of this Agreement, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. Any party seeking an order or injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof shall not be required to provide, furnish or post any bond or other security in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any such order or injunction, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the provision, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security. If any action is brought by any party to enforce this Agreement, the other parties shall waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.
