(a) The Parties acknowledge that the Seller Parent and certain Affiliates of the Seller Parent (other than the Group Companies) currently provide Seller Parent Guarantee for certain outstanding loans of the Group Companies, the details of which are set forth in Section 5.16(a) of the Disclosure Schedule.

(d) Following execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser and the relevant Group Companies shall, with the Seller Parent’s assistance, meet and discuss with each lender with respect to the substitution of each Two-Year Guarantee with alternative security arrangements upon Closing, such as guarantee provided by the Purchaser or the Purchaser Parent, guarantee provided by another Group Company, mortgage or pledge over the relevant Group Company’s properties, the combination of the forgoing or any other security arrangements acceptable to the Purchaser, the relevant Group Company and such lender.

For the avoidance of doubt, all other costs and expenses shall be borne by the Design Institute directly.

Nothing in this Section 7.01 shall prevent the Purchaser from pursuing, at any time after the Closing Date, a claim for breach of the representations and warranties of the Seller and the Seller Parent based on or arising out of fraud or intentional misconduct by the Seller or the Seller Parent. If any claim has been made with reasonable specificity by the Party seeking to be indemnified within the time periods set forth in this Section 7.01, the relevant representations and warranties shall survive until such claim is finally and fully resolved.

(ix) the Purchaser being required to sell any of the shares of Anpon or make any payment to any of the 44 former employee shareholders of Anpon pursuant to the terms of the 2005 Agreement.

Section 7.04 Limits on Indemnification.

(a) No claim may be asserted nor may any Action be commenced against either party hereto for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained

herein, unless written notice of such claim or action is received by such Party describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or Action on or prior to the date on which the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on which such claim or Action is based ceases to survive as set forth in Section 7.01, irrespective of whether the subject matter of such claim or action shall have occurred before or after such date.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

(i) an Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.02 or Section 7.03, unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Indemnifying Party equals or exceeds US$ 5,000,000, after which the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all Losses starting from the first US$;

(ii) the total amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from an Indemnifying Party under Section 7.02 (other than items (ii) to (v) thereof) or Section 7.03(i), together with Losses related to relocation reimbursable under Section 5.14, shall not exceed the Indemnity Cap, provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to any losses arising from a breach of the representations contained in Section 3.01 (Organization, Authority and Qualification of the Seller), Section 3.04 (Capitalization, Ownership of Transferred Interests) and Section 3.17 (Taxes), or any Losses as a result of a fraud on the part of the Seller or the Seller Parent and provided further that the Indemnity Cap shall not apply with respect to any Losses and Liabilities arising from or in connection with the Sanonda Holding Relevant Entities and, for the avoidance of doubt, for Losses and Liabilities arising from or in connection with the Disposed Entities or the Excluded Assets and Liabilities.

(iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Article VII, to the extent it was reimbursed by the Seller or the Seller Parent with respect to the same indemnifiable event under any other provisions of this Agreement. In addition, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Article VII if any claim for indemnification is based on Losses primarily resulting from written instructions of the Purchaser or the Purchaser Parent. The Parties agree that the consent or approval by the Purchaser of the matters enumerated in Section 5.01(b) shall not be deemed to constitute such written instructions, while the disapproval or objection of such matters by the Purchaser shall be deemed to constitute such written instructions as long as the Purchaser is informed with reasonable detail of the consequence of disapproval or objection in advance.

(iv) neither Party shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including loss of future revenue or income (except, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with losses of revenues or income arising out of or resulting from the circumstances set out in Sections 7.02(vii) and 7.02(viii)), or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement; and

(v) The limitations set forth in Section 7.04(b)(i) to Section 7.04(b)(iv) above shall not apply to: (a) any indemnity relating to or arising from fraud or willful misrepresentation by the Indemnifying Party or its respective officers, directors, employees and agents; (b) any claim for indemnification arising from or in connection with the Seller and the Seller Parent’s representations and undertakings with respect to the Restructuring; (c) any claim for indemnification arising from or in connection with breach of the Seller’s representations under Section 3.22; and (d) any claim for indemnification arising from or in connection with breach of the Seller’s covenants and undertakings under this Agreement; provided, however, that without derogating from the rights of the Purchaser under Section 4.06, the Seller or the Seller Parent shall not be deemed to have committed fraud or willful misrepresentation with respect to any matters that are made aware to the Purchaser or the Purchaser Parent during the due diligence process, even if such matters were not included in the Disclosure Schedule or elsewhere of this Agreement.

(c) For all purposes of this Article VII, Losses shall be net of (i) any insurance proceeds actually paid to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification and (ii) any direct Tax benefit actually received by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates arising in connection with the accrual, incurrence or payment of any such Losses. If after the payment of any indemnification amount, the Indemnified Party receives insurance proceeds or Tax benefits that would have been deducted from its Losses had such proceeds or benefits been received prior to the indemnification payment, the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the value of such proceeds or benefits received (less the Indemnified Party’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with obtaining or realizing such insurance proceeds or tax benefits) within 15 Business Days after such proceeds or benefits are actually received. For the avoidance of doubt, if Sanonda Ltd. or any of its Subsidiaries suffers or incurs any loss or damages which gives rise to an indemnification claim under Section 7.02, a Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have suffered an indemnifiable Loss equal to the amount of such loss or damage actually suffered or incurred by Sanonda Ltd. or such Subsidiary of Sanonda Ltd. multiplied by the outstanding shareholding percentage of Sanonda Holding in Sanonda Ltd. as of the Closing Date.

Section 7.05 Notice of Loss; Third Party Claims. (a) An Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of any matter which an Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, within 60 days of such determination, stating (on a without prejudice basis) the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises, provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VII except to the extent that such failure results in a detriment to the Indemnifying Party and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other Liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party other than under this Article VII.

(b) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Action, audit, claim, demand or assessment (each, a “Third Party Claim”) against it which may give rise to a claim for

Loss under this Article VII, within 30 days of the receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VII except to the extent that such failure results in a detriment to the Indemnifying Party and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other Liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party other than under this Article VII. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within 15 days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to undertake any such defense against a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at its own expense. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to direct the defense of any such claim or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of such Third Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Party consents in writing to such payment or unless the Indemnifying Party withdraws from the defense of such Third Party Claim liability or unless a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party is entered against the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of any such claims or proceeding pursuant to this Section 7.05 and proposes to settle such claims or proceeding prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo any appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the settlement negotiation or assume or reassume the defense of such claims or proceeding.

Section 7.06 Remedies. The Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree that (i) following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of Section 7.02 and Section 7.03 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Purchaser and the Seller for any breach by the other party of the representations and warranties in this Agreement and for any failure by the other party to perform and comply with any covenants and agreements in this Agreement, except that if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their terms or are otherwise breached, the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms thereof in addition to any other remedy at law or equity, and (ii) anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein shall give rise to any right on the part of the Purchaser or the Seller, after the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Transferred Interests contemplated by this Agreement, to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Party shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate its Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses.

Section 9.03 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either party hereto (it being clarified that in no event shall the Purchaser be required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the extent that the transaction cannot be completed with respect to one of the Transferred Subsidiaries ). Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto 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 by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 9.06 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, the Seller and the Purchaser or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 9.07.

Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of either party hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.

Section 9.08 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied (including the provisions of Article VII relating to indemnified parties), is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement except that Koor shall be deemed as a third party beneficiary for the purpose of Section 6.02(h) of this Agreement.

Section 9.09 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Hong Kong.

(b) All disputes among the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved by friendly discussion between the executives of the Seller Parent and the executives of the Purchaser Parent. If the executives of the Seller Parent and the executives of the Purchaser Parent fail to resolve any such dispute within thirty (30) days after the commencement of friendly negotiation relating to such dispute (which negotiation shall be deemed to commence on the date a written notice to that effect is delivered by the Seller Parent

to the Purchaser Parent or visa-versa), such dispute shall be submitted to the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “Centre”) under the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre Administered Arbitration rules in force when the Notice of Arbitration is submitted (the “Notice of Arbitration”) (it being agreed that with respect to any Notice of Arbitration submitted by any Party with respect to a dispute as to whether an indemnification or reimbursement obligation has arisen under this Agreement, the receipt of which is limited to a time frame set out in the Agreement, than, for the purpose of determining amount of time that has elapsed from Closing, the time that has elapsed from the date on which the Notice of Arbitration was submitted and until the proceedings initiated in accordance with such Notice of Arbitration were completed, shall not be counted). The seat of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The number of arbitrators shall be three. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English and Chinese. The arbitral award shall be final and binding upon the Parties.

(c) The Notice of Arbitration shall instruct the Centre to appoint the arbitrators within seven (7) days of receipt of the Notice of Arbitration and shall request that the Centre instructs the arbitrators to resolve any such disputes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the provisions below. Within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the Notice of Arbitration, the other party shall deliver to the arbitrators a written statement specifying any objections to the Notice of Arbitration in reasonable detail (an “Objections Statement”). If the other party does not deliver an Objections Statement within such fourteen (14)-day period, then the arbitral award shall be granted in favor of the party submitting the Notice of Arbitration. If the other party delivers an Objections Statement within such fourteen (14)-day period, the arbitrators shall proceed to render the arbitral award within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Objections Statement. If the arbitrators request a hearing of the parties during the arbitration, the hearings shall be scheduled within fourteen (14) days of the delivery of the Objections Statement; provided that the final arbitral award shall still be rendered within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Objections Statement.

Section 9.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
