(c) All representations and warranties of each Selling Shareholder under this Agreement shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; provided, further that, such expiration shall not affect the rights of any Indemnified Person under this Section 9.2 or otherwise to seek recovery of Indemnifiable Losses arising out of fraud.

9.3. Procedure.

(a) Any Indemnified Person seeking indemnification under this Section 9 shall give notice to a party obligated to provide indemnity hereunder (the "Indemnifying Party"). If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Person in writing within ten (10) Business Days from receipt of such claim that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed with such claim. In the event of any Action asserted against an Indemnified Person by a third party upon which the Indemnified Person may claim indemnification, the Indemnified Person shall give the Indemnifying Party(ies) notice in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receiving written notice of such asserted Action and, thereafter the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to the Indemnified Person within ten (10) Business Days after receipt from the Indemnified Person of such notice of claim or demand, indicating whether the Indemnifying Party intends to assume the defense of such claim or demand, and if the Indemnifying Party intends to assume the defense of such claim or demand, the Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge that it has, and shall be deemed to have, accepted and agreed to its indemnification obligations for such claim or demand. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense, (i) the Indemnified Person shall have the right to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing at its cost and expense; provided, however, if there is a potential conflict of interest between the interest of the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party, the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall promptly keep the Indemnified Person reasonably informed of material developments in such claim or demand at all stages thereof and (iii) the Indemnifying Party may not agree to any compromise or settlement to which the Indemnified Person has not consented in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense or fails to make such an election within the ten (10) Business Day period, or otherwise fails to continue the defense of the Indemnified Person reasonably and in good faith, the Indemnified Person may assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and a recovery against the Indemnified Person suffered by it in good faith shall be conclusive in its favor against the Indemnifying Party.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.3(a), in the case of any indemnification under this Agreement in respect of any withholding Tax obligation of an Indemnified Person, the applicable Indemnified Person shall control the relevant audit or other proceeding in respect of such withholding Tax obligation, shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of such audit or proceeding, and such Indemnified Person may agree to any compromise or settlement in such respect, which shall be conclusive in such Indemnified Person's favor against the Indemnifying Party unless the Indemnifying Party reasonably objected to such compromise or settlement following notice of such Indemnified Person's intention to make such a compromise and/or settlement in such respect (provided, however, that any final determination in respect of any withholding Tax obligation of an Indemnified Person by the competent PRC State Administration of Taxation shall nonetheless be conclusive in such Indemnified Person's favor against the Indemnifying Party).

(a) by the mutual written consent of each of the Purchaser and the Selling Shareholders holding a majority of the Sale Shares;

(b) by any party, upon written notice to the other parties, if there shall be in effect any applicable Law restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which such party is a party and such Law shall have become final and non-appealable, provided that, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Purchaser, such termination shall only be effective with respect to such party and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the other parties;

(c) by Selling Shareholders holding a majority of the Sale Shares, upon written notice to the other parties upon a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Purchaser under this Agreement, and such breach shall not have been cured within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of written notice from such Selling Shareholders of such breach; provided, however, that such Selling Shareholder shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(c) if such Selling Shareholder is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements hereunder; or

(d) by the Purchaser, upon written notice to the other parties upon a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of any Selling Shareholder under this Agreement, and such breach shall not have been cured within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of written notice from the Purchaser of such breach; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(d) if the Purchaser is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements hereunder.

10.2. Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 10.1, this Agreement shall have no further force or effect provided that Section 11 and this Section 10.2 shall survive such termination and provided, further that such termination shall not relieve any party from liability for any willful and intentional breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements applicable to such party that are set forth in this Agreement occurring prior to such termination.

39


11.5. Amendments. Any term of this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Company, the Purchaser, and the Selling Shareholders holding a majority of the Sale Shares (such amendment to be made on behalf of all Selling Shareholders and Management).

11.6. Delays or Omissions; Waivers. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party hereto, upon any breach or default of any party hereto under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach of default thereafter occurring; nor shall any 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 hereto of any breach of default under this Agreement or any waiver on the part of any party hereto 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. A waiver in writing by the Selling Shareholders holding a majority of Sale Shares shall be effective against all Selling Shareholders and Management. All remedies, either under this Agreement, or by Law or otherwise afforded to any party hereto shall be cumulative and not alternative.

11.7. Interpretation; Titles and Subtitles. This Agreement shall be construed according to its fair language. The rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in interpreting this Agreement. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all references to Sections and Exhibits herein are to Sections and Exhibits of this Agreement. Unless a provision hereof expressly provides otherwise: (i) the term "or" is not exclusive; (ii) the terms "herein", "hereof", and other similar words refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, clause, or other subdivision; (iii) the masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will each be deemed to include the others; and (iv) the terms "include", "including", "are inclusive of", and similar expressions are not expressions of limitation and shall be construed as if followed by the words "without limitation".

11.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Any counterpart or other signature delivered by facsimile or means of electronic transmission (such as by electronic mail in "pdf" form) shall be deemed for all purposes as being good and valid execution and delivery of this Agreement by that party.

11.9. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall be construed, to the extent feasible, so as to render the provision enforceable and to provide for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby on substantially the same terms as originally set forth herein, and if no feasible interpretation would save such provision, it shall be severed from the remainder of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect unless the severed provision is essential to the rights or benefits intended by the parties. In such event, the parties hereto shall use best efforts to negotiate, in good faith, a substitute, valid and enforceable provision or agreement which most nearly affects the parties' intent in entering into this Agreement.

41


(b) The arbitration shall be submitted to the International Chamber of Commerce and conducted in Hong Kong under the International Chamber of Commerce Arbitration Rules in force when the Notice of Arbitration is submitted in accordance with the said rules.
