Delivery

 
1.1
Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Party A shall hand over the Land Parcel, the Building (including the Equipment and Furniture as listed in Annex 3)to Party B no later than the date (“the Delivery Date”) as set forth in Article 13 of the Contract, failing which, Party B shall have the right to charge penalty at 0.05% of the total price of the Contract per day for the delay in delivery. Party A shall not be held responsible for the delay in delivery due to any failure of Party B to perform any payment as established in the Contract.

 
1.2
Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Party A shall move out from the Building all equipment and articles that are not transferred to Party B hereunder, before the Delivery Date, and work out and deliver the technical information, specifications, operation instruction manuals of the Building, the facilities and equipment, and warranty certificates for Party B to review.

 
1.3
Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, in the event that Party A fails to hand over the Building within two months after the Delivery Date, Party B hereto shall have the right to terminate the Contract upon expiry of the two-month-period with a written notice.  If the Contract is so terminated, Party A shall refund the money received under the Contract, together with 5% of the Purchase Price as agreed in the Contract as compensation to Party B.  If the direct losses caused thereby to Party B are more than such compensation, Party B shall be entitled to claim against Party A.

2.
Condition of the Building

 
2.1
Party A shall hand over the Building (including the equipment and facilities herein specified) to Party B at its current status and conditions.  After Party B takes possession of the Building, unless otherwise agreed herein, Party A shall immediately not be liable to Party B for any subsequent defect or damage.

3.
Property Management

 
3.1
Upon delivery of the Building by Party A to Party B, Party A shall be no longer responsible for any property management service for the Land Parcel and the Building.  Party B shall make such property management service available by its own upon taking over the Land Parcel and the Building.
