Without limiting the generality of the following provisions of this section, the Company and the Fund or its designee will each perform any and all duties, functions, procedures and responsibilities assigned to it and as otherwise established by the NSCC applicable to Fund/SERV, the Mutual Fund Profile Service, the Networking Matrix Level utilized and any other relevant NSCC service or system (collectively, the “NSCC Systems”). Any information transmitted through the NSCC Systems by any party or its designee to the other or its designee and pursuant to this Agreement will be accurate, complete, and in the format prescribed by the NSCC. Each party or its designee will adopt, implement and maintain procedures reasonably designed to ensure the accuracy of all transmissions through the NSCC Systems and to limit the access to, and the inputting of data into, the NSCC Systems to persons specifically authorized by such party.

All such aggregated orders communicated to the Fund or its designee by the Fund/SERV Transactions Deadline on the Business Day following the Trade Date shall be treated by the Fund or its designee as if received prior to the Close of Trading on the Trade Date. All orders received by the Company after the Close of Trading on a Business Day shall not be aggregated with Orders received by the Company prior to the Close of Trading on such Business Day and shall be communicated to BRIL or its designee as part of an aggregated order no sooner than after the FUND/SERV Transactions Deadline or such other time as may be agreed by the parties from time to time) the following Business Day.

• Portfolio Transactions The Manager is authorized to select the brokers or dealers that will execute the purchases and sales of portfolio securities for the Portfolio and is directed to use its best efforts to obtain the best available prices and most favorable executions, except as prescribed herein. It is understood that the Manager will not be deemed to have acted unlawfully, or to have breached a fiduciary duty to the Fund or to the Portfolio, or be in breach of any obligation owing to the Fund or to the Portfolio under this Agreement, or otherwise, solely by reason of its having caused the Portfolio to pay a member of a securities exchange, a broker, or a dealer a commission for effecting a securities transaction for the Portfolio in excess of the amount of commission another member of an exchange, broker, or dealer would have charged if the Manager determines in good faith that the commission paid was reasonable in relation to the brokerage or research services provided by such member, broker, or dealer, viewed in terms of that particular transaction or the Manager’s overall responsibilities with respect to its accounts, including the Fund, as to which it exercises investment discretion. The Manager will promptly communicate to the officers and directors of the Fund such information relating to transactions for the Portfolio as they may reasonably request.

• CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS The Company and Hengdeli entered into the Cooperation Agreement for joint development of luxury jewellery retail business. Upon completion of the Acquisition, Xxxxxxxx indirectly owns 15.27% of the entire issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement and is a connected person (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company. The Cooperation Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein thus have become the continuing connected transactions of the Company. In anticipation of the future demands of the Group, the Company has recently reviewed its cooperation with Xxxxxxxx. The parties entered into the New Cooperation Agreement on 27 September 2012 which would replace the Cooperation Agreement when approved by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM. Shenzhen Qijingda also entered into the Licence Agreement with Hangzhou Longyun on 1 July 2012. The New Cooperation Agreement and the Licence Agreement also provide for the Annual Caps of the transactions contemplated under the Agreements. As the applicable percentage ratios for the Aggregate Annual Cap exceeds 5% but less than 25% and the Aggregate Annual Cap is also greater than HK$10,000,000 on an annual basis, the New Cooperation Agreement and the Annual Caps are subject to reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Rule 14A.35 of the Listing Rules. A circular containing, among other things, details of the New Cooperation Agreement, the Licence Agreement, a letter from the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders, a letter of advice from an independent financial adviser to be appointed by the Company to the Independent Board Committee and Independent Shareholders and a notice convening the EGM will be dispatched to the Shareholders as soon as practicable. Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 28 September 2011, 4 November 2011, 7 February 2012 and 13 April 2012 and the circular of the Company dated 2 November 2011 in relation to, inter alia, the Acquisition. Upon the completion of Acquisition, Alpha Key becomes a substantial shareholder of the Company, holding approximately 15.27% of the entire issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement. As Alpha Key is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hengdeli, Hengdeli is therefore a connected person (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company. Reference is also made to the joint announcements of the Company and Hengdeli dated 25 October 2010 and 1 November 2010 in relation to, inter alia, the Cooperation Agreement. The Cooperation Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein have, upon completion of the Acquisition, become continuing connected transactions of the Company pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The transactions contemplated under the Cooperation Agreement have been carried out on a small scale only and the total considerations do not exceed 0.1% of the applicable percentage ratios of the Listing Rules and are therefore exempt from the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements. In anticipation of the future demands of the Group, the Company has recently reviewed its cooperation with Xxxxxxxx and the following new arrangements have been agreed by the parties.
