Common use of Organisation and Qualification Clause in Contracts

Organisation and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, and has the requisite corporate power and authorisation to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means (1) any material adverse effect on (i) the business, properties, assets, liabilities, operations, results of operations or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) the authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents (as defined in Section 3A(b) below) or (2) the delisting of the Common Shares from the SEHK and the American Depository Receipts over the Common Shares from the NYSE; provided, however, that for purposes of clause (i) above, in no event shall any of the following exceptions, alone or in combination with the other enumerated exceptions below, be deemed to constitute, nor shall be taken into account in determining whether there has been or will be, a Material Adverse Effect: (A) any effect resulting from compliance with the terms and conditions of, or from the announcement of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (B) any effect that results from changes affecting any of the industries in which the Company operates generally or the economy generally, (C) any effect that results from changes affecting general worldwide economic or capital market conditions, provided that any such changes in (B) and (C) do not substantially disproportionately affect the Company in any material respect (as otherwise such changes in (B) and (C) shall be regarded as having a Material Adverse Effect under this Section 3A(a)), or (D) any change in the Company’s stock price or trading volume, in and of itself, primarily resulting from any of the effects or changes described in the foregoing clauses (A), (B) or (C). Each subsidiary of the Company has been duly organised and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organisation except to the extent that the failure to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
