ARTICLE VIII

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

8.1. Covenant Not to Compete or Solicit Business. In furtherance of the sale of the Purchased Assets and the Business to Buyer hereunder by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby and more effectively to protect the value and goodwill of the Purchased Assets and the Business so sold, Seller covenants and agrees that, for a period ending on the date falling 36 months after the Closing Date, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates will:

(a) directly or indirectly (whether as principal, agent, independent contractor, partner, shareholder or otherwise) own, manage, operate, control, participate in, or otherwise carry on, or set up a semiconductor assembly and testing facility anywhere in Thailand; or

(b) induce or attempt to persuade any employee or supplier of goods or services of Buyer to terminate such employment or such business relationship in order to enter into any such relationship on behalf of any other business organization in competition with the Business;

provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section 8.1 shall prohibit Seller or its Affiliates (x) from owning not in excess of 5% in the aggregate of any class of capital stock of any corporation if such stock is publicly traded and listed on any national or regional stock exchange. In addition, Seller covenants and agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates will divulge or make use of any trade secrets or other confidential information of the Business other than to disclose such secrets and information to Buyer or its Affiliates. Seller acknowledges that a violation of this Section 8.1 may cause Buyer irreparable harm which may not be adequately compensated for by money damages. Seller therefore agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened violation of this Section 8.1, Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to other equitable remedies that it may have, to a temporary restraining order and to preliminary

and final injunctive relief against Seller or such Affiliate of Seller to prevent any violations of this Section 8.1, without the necessity of posting a bond. The prevailing party in any action commenced under this Section 8.1 shall also be entitled to receive reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs. It is the intent and understanding of each party hereto that if, in any action before any court or agency legally empowered to enforce this Section 8.1, any term, restriction, covenant or promise in this Section 8.1 is found to be unreasonable and for that reason unenforceable, then such term, restriction, covenant or promise shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable by such court or agency.

8.2. Taxes.

(a) Seller shall be liable for and shall pay all Taxes (whether assessed or unassessed) applicable to the Business and the Purchased Assets, in each case attributable to periods (or portions thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date. Buyer shall be liable for and shall pay all Taxes (whether assessed or unassessed) applicable to the Purchased Assets attributable to periods (or portions thereof) beginning after the Closing Date. For purposes of this paragraph (a), any period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date shall be treated as two partial periods, one ending on the Closing Date and the other beginning after the Closing Date except that Taxes (such as property Taxes) imposed on a periodic basis shall be allocated on a daily basis.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 8.2(a), any sales Tax, use Tax, real property transfer or gains Tax, documentary stamp Tax or similar Tax attributable to the sale or transfer of the Purchased Assets shall be paid by Seller; provided however that Buyer agrees to pay any and all value added Tax related to the sale or transfer of the Purchased Assets. Buyer agrees to timely sign and deliver such certificates or forms as may be necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce), or make a report with respect to, such Taxes.

(c) Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall provide reimbursement for any Tax paid by one party all or a portion of which is the responsibility of the other party in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.2. Within a reasonable time prior to the payment of any said Tax, the party paying such Tax shall give notice to the other party of the Tax payable and the portion which is the liability of each party, although failure to do so will not relieve the other party from its liability hereunder.

8.3. Discharge of Seller’s Liabilities. Seller covenants and agrees that it will pay and discharge, and hold Buyer harmless from, each and every liability and obligation of Seller in respect of the Business or the Purchased Assets arising from events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date, excepting only those liabilities and obligations expressly assumed by Buyer at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement, it being understood and agreed that Buyer is assuming no liabilities or obligations of Seller or the Business other than liabilities and obligations so expressly assumed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

8.4. Employees.

(a) Other than the Identified Employees, Buyer and Seller shall use all reasonable efforts to transfer to Buyer all of the employees of Seller and their respective entitlements, including all severance and retirement seniority as may be prescribed by the laws of Thailand, such transfer to be effected in each case by the execution of a Transfer of Employment Agreement by Seller, Buyer and each such employee, and a separate employment

agreement on terms to be agreed between Buyer and each such employee. Buyer agrees to offer employment packages to each such employee that are similar (but not identical) to the employment packages such employee received immediately prior to the Closing. Buyer shall recognize all accrued years of service and seniority of any employee employed by Seller up to the time such employee is transferred to Buyer in connection with the sale of the Business (“Transferred Employee”).

(b) Buyer acknowledges that it shall be bound by any severance payment obligations of any Transferred Employee as may be prescribed by the laws of Thailand in the event that such employee is laid-off or retrenched by Buyer subsequent to employment by Buyer. Seller acknowledges that it shall be bound by any severance payment obligations of any Remaining Employee in the event that such employee is laid-off or retrenched by Seller.

(c) Subject to paragraphs (a) and (b) above, Seller shall be responsible for any and all liabilities due to or accruing in respect of any of the employees of Seller up to and including the Closing Date (arising under any agreement or any law, rule or regulation in respect of accrued salary, wages, bonuses, holiday pay and sick leave; accrued entitlements to long service leave); and payment for any notice period required by any law, rule or regulation or contract as well as any other remuneration or entitlement arising out of employment or its termination.

(d) In furtherance of the intention set out in paragraph (a) above, Seller and Buyer shall co-operate with each other and take all necessary action and consider appropriate arrangements to transfer the retirement fund, provident fund and other employment-related vested entitlements of the Transferred Employees to Buyer (to the extent such transfer is permissible under the applicable laws of Thailand) in accordance with the rules and regulations (if any) of each such fund such that nothing shall require or cause Seller to expend additional funds, incur additional costs or assume additional liabilities in the event, which it otherwise would not have expended, incurred or assumed if not for the transfer of such funds. All such funds upon their transfer shall be administered by Buyer in its name and at its cost for the benefit of the Transferred Employees. Seller and Buyer agree that they shall co-operate to effect all these transfers to minimise any costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by Buyer arising therefrom.

(e) In addition, Seller and Buyer agree to work in good faith to develop a goodwill/retention plan with a view to incentivising as many employees of Seller as possible to accept Buyer’s offer of employment. To this end, Seller and Buyer further agree that subject to and conditional upon such Transferred Employee executing a Transfer of Employment Agreement with Seller and Buyer as well as a separate employment agreement with Buyer on or before Closing, Buyer shall (on its and Seller’s behalf) pay each Transferred Employee a sign-on bonus of between three to five months’ salary of such Transferred Employee based on such formula as may be agreed between Seller and Buyer (“Transferred Employees Bonus Payments”), provided that such Transferred Employee shall not be entitled to or receive any other payments or remuneration from Seller or Buyer upon accepting employment with Buyer. A portion of the Transferred Employees Bonus Payments shall be funded and borne by Seller up to US$3.2 million or such larger amount as may be mutually agreed between Seller and Buyer in good faith (except if the aggregate Transferred Employees Bonus Payments shall be less than US$3.2 million, such lesser amount) (“Seller-borne Bonus Payments”) and shall be deducted from the Last Instalment. If the aggregate Transferred Employees Bonus Payments exceeds US$3.2 million or such larger amount as may be mutually agreed between Seller and

Buyer in good faith, such excess portion of the Transferred Employees Bonus Payments shall be funded and borne by Buyer.

(f) Without prejudice and subject to the foregoing provisions of paragraph (a) above, Seller and Buyer agree to work in good faith in consultation with the existing management team of the Business in Thailand to identify the employees of Seller who should be employed by each of them following Closing so that Seller and Buyer will be able to carry on their respective businesses effectively after Closing.

(c) This guarantee is to be a continuing guarantee and accordingly is to remain in force, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement until all the obligations, commitments and undertakings of Seller to in Section 8.5(a) shall have been performed or satisfied.

(d) As a separate and independent stipulation, Seller Guarantor agrees that any obligation expressed to be undertaken by Seller which may not be enforceable against or recoverable from Seller by reason of any legal limitation, disability or incapacity on or of Seller or any other fact or circumstance shall nevertheless be enforceable against and recoverable from Seller Guarantor as though the same had been incurred by Seller Guarantor and Seller Guarantor was the sole or principal obligor in respect thereof and shall be performed or paid or procured to be performed and paid by Seller Guarantor on demand.

	(iv)		any right that Seller Guarantor may have to raise defences to which Seller may be entitled against Buyer including any defence that Seller or its representatives may have lacked the capacity or authority to incur all or any of the obligations of Seller or may have incurred all or any of such obligations by mistake;

	(v)		the absence of, or any lack of formality or irregularity in the corporate powers of Seller or the exercise thereof;

	(vi)		any right of subrogation with regard to the obligations of Seller until Buyer shall have received performance in full thereof; and

(a) Any of Buyer or Seller (the “Indemnified Party”) seeking indemnification hereunder shall give to the party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) a notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided, that a Claim Notice in respect of any action at law or suit in equity by or against a third Person as to which indemnification will be sought shall be given promptly after the action or suit is commenced; provided further that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been prejudiced by such failure.

(b) After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this ARTICLE XI shall be determined (i) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party; (ii) by a final award issued by the arbitration tribunal pursuant to Section 13.15; or (iii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall agree. The Indemnified Party shall have the burden of proof in establishing the amount of Losses and Expenses suffered by it.

11.7. Third Person Claims.

(a) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of a claim in writing against it by a third party, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim is to be made against an Indemnifying Party under Sections 11.1 or 11.2, give notice to the Indemnifying Party of such claim in accordance with the procedures required under Section 11.1(c) or 11.2(c), as the case may be.

(b) If any claim referred to in Section 11.7 is brought against an Indemnified Party and a proceeding is commenced, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such proceeding and, to the extent that it is able and wishes, to assume the defence of such proceeding at its cost with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If notice is given to an Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any proceeding and the Indemnifying Party does not, within 15 Business Days after such notice, give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defence of such proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any determination made in such proceeding only if the claims by the Indemnifying Party are within the scope of Sections 11.1 or 11.2 (as the case may be) and subject to indemnification and for the avoidance of doubt, it shall not be assumed that for the purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in such proceeding are within the scope of Sections 11.1 or 11.2 (as the case may be) and subject to indemnification.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defence of a proceeding, (i) it shall be conclusively established for the purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that proceeding are within the scope and subject to indemnification; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary

damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, (iii) the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to make any separate or collateral claim against the Indemnifying Party with respect to any matter being defended by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Agreement provided the Indemnified Party has not suffered any Losses in respect thereof; and (iv) the Indemnified Party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnifying Party assumes the defence of a proceeding and if the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that such proceeding may adversely affect it other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such proceeding. However, the Indemnifying Party shall not be bound by any determination of a proceeding so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld.

11.8. Exclusion of Certain Losses.

(a) The amount for which Buyer may be entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to this Agreement will be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds or other payment from a third party actually received by Buyer and the amount of any deduction, credit or other Tax benefit that Buyer may recognize with respect to its Losses (after giving effect to the Tax effect of such indemnification payments). If Buyer, after having received any indemnification payment pursuant to this Agreement with respect to a claim permitted hereunder, subsequently receives any insurance proceeds or other payment or recognizes any Tax benefit with respect to such claim, Buyer will promptly refund and pay to Seller an amount equal to such insurance proceeds, payment or Tax benefit.

(b) Seller will not have any liability (for indemnification or otherwise) for any claims directly arising out of:

(i) any act or omission of Buyer or its representatives up to the Closing Date (other than as contemplated by this Agreement) or occurring as a result of a breach by Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement;

(ii) any act or omission of Seller carried out with Buyer’s written approval or at the written request of Buyer after the date of this Agreement; or

(iii) relating to or arising out of any act or omission of Buyer or any of their representatives after the Closing Date.

(c) Buyer shall not be entitled to recover Losses or Expenses or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity more than once for the same breach hereunder.

11.9. Exclusive Remedy.

(a) Buyer acknowledges that the potential liability of Seller under or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder will be limited as provided in this Agreement and/or the Related Agreements.

(b) Buyer and Seller agree that save as otherwise expressly provide in this Agreement, the indemnification provisions contained in this ARTICLE XI will constitute the sole and exclusive remedies of Buyer and Seller for all matters arising in connection with the sale of the Purchased Assets and the Business, including any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, except in the case of fraud.

11.10. No Extraordinary Damages. Neither party shall be liable for consequential, incidental, special, punitive, or exemplary damages, lost opportunity, damage to business reputation or other business interruption damages, in tort or contract, under any indemnity provision or otherwise with respect to any claim, controversy or dispute arising under this Agreement, except in the case of fraud.

11.11. Related Agreements. None of the provisions of this ARTICLE XI shall apply to or restrict in any way any of the claims by any of Buyer or Seller under such Related Agreements.

ARTICLE XII

12.1. Termination. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date:

(c) by Buyer in the event of (i) any material breach by Seller of any of Seller’s representations or warranties, covenants or obligations contained herein (subject to Buyer Agreed Changes) and the failure of Seller to cure such breach within 10 Business Days after receipt of notice from Buyer requesting such breach to be cured or (ii) any failure of the conditions set out in ARTICLE IX; or

(d) by Seller in the event of (i) any material breach by Buyer of any of Buyer’s representations or warranties covenants or obligations contained herein (subject to Seller Agreed Changes) and the failure of Buyer to cure such breach within 10 Business Days after receipt of notice from Seller requesting such breach to be cured (ii) or any failure of the conditions set out in ARTICLE X.

12.2. Notice of Termination. Any party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1 shall give notice of such termination to the other parties to this Agreement.

12.3. Effect of Termination. In the event that this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to this ARTICLE XII, all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement (other than Sections 13.2 and 13.10) shall be terminated without further liability of any party to

any other party, provided that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for its willful breach of this Agreement nor prejudice any rights or remedies a party may have under general law.

Any communication from any Party to another party shall be deemed to be delivered to the other party:

(i) five (5) Business Days after being dispatched by registered mail or by courier to such Party at that address, or

(ii) if sent by facsimile transmission, in the absence of any indication that the facsimile transmission was distorted or garbled, on the Business Day that the machine from which the facsimile transmission was sent produces a transmission report which indicates that the facsimile transmission was sent in its entirety to the facsimile number of the recipient notified for the purpose of this Section (in the event the facsimile transmission is sent after 5:00 p.m. Thai time to Buyer or to Seller or after 6:00 pm Singapore Time to the Issuer, the facsimile transmission shall be deemed delivered on the next Business Day); and

(iii) if sent by email, in the absence of any indication that the email was not transmitted to the recipient, on the Business Day that the sender receives an electronic delivery receipt notice indicating that the receiver has received the email, provided however that (A) the sender does not receive an electronic delivery failure message (for the avoidance of doubt, an out of office or similar message does not constitute an electronic delivery failure message) and (B) in the event the email is sent after 5:00 p.m. Thai time to Buyer or to Seller or after 6:00 pm Singapore Time to the Issuer, the email shall be deemed delivered and received on the next Business Day; or

(iv) in any other case, on the Business Day when left at the address referred to above (in the event the communication is left at the address of Buyer or Seller after 5:00 p.m. Thai time or at the address of Issuer after 6:00 p.m. Singapore time, the communication shall be deemed delivered and received on the next Business Day).

Any change in the address of one party hereunder shall be effective only after having notified to the other parties hereto by not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice.

13.5. Successors and Assigns. The rights of any party under this Agreement shall not be assignable by such party hereto prior to the Closing without the written consent of the other parties, except that the Promissory Note shall be assignable to Seller Guarantor in accordance with the terms set out therein. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns. The successors and permitted assigns hereunder shall include without limitation, any permitted assignee as well as the successors in interest to such permitted assignee (whether by merger, liquidation (including successive mergers or liquidations) or otherwise). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any Person other than the parties and successors and assigns permitted by this Section 13.5 any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

13.6. Access to Records after Closing. For a period of 12 months after the Closing Date, Seller and its representatives shall have reasonable access to all of the books and records of Buyer related to the Purchased Assets and Business transferred to Buyer hereunder to the extent that such access may reasonably be required by Seller in connection with matters relating to or affected by the operations of the Purchased Assets or Business prior to the Closing Date. Such access shall be afforded by Buyer upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. Seller shall be solely responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by it pursuant to this Section 13.6. If Buyer shall desire to dispose of any of such books and records prior to the expiration of such 12 month period, Buyer shall, prior to such disposition, give Seller a reasonable opportunity, at Seller’s expense, to segregate and remove such books and records as Seller may select.

After the Closing Date, Buyer and its representatives shall have reasonable access to all of the books and records relating to the Business which Seller or any of its Affiliates may retain for such period as Thai law shall require Seller to retain such books and records. Such access shall be afforded by Seller and its Affiliates upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. Buyer shall be solely responsible for any costs and expenses incurred by it pursuant to this Section 13.6. If Seller or any of its Affiliates shall desire to dispose of any of such books and records prior to the expiration of such period, Seller shall, prior to such disposition, give Buyer a reasonable opportunity, at Buyer’s expense, to segregate and remove such books and records as Buyer may select.

13.7. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules referred to herein and the documents delivered pursuant hereto contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter contained herein or therein, and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, letters of intent, or confidentiality agreements between or among any of the parties hereto. This Agreement shall not be amended, modified or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by an authorized representative of each of Buyer and Seller.

13.8. Interpretation. Article titles and headings to sections herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein.

13.9. Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the party or parties entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such party. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

13.10. Expenses. Each party hereto will pay all costs and expenses incident to its negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and to its performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on its part to be performed or complied with, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and accountants.

13.11. Partial Invalidity. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.

13.12. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original instrument, but all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become binding when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to each of Seller and Buyer.

13.13. Further Assurances. On the Closing Date Seller shall (i) deliver to Buyer such other bills of sale, deeds, endorsements, assignments and other good and sufficient instruments of conveyance and transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and its counsel, as Buyer may reasonably request or as may be otherwise reasonably necessary to vest in Buyer all the right, title and interest of Seller in, to or under any or all of the Purchased Assets, and (ii) take all steps as may be reasonably necessary to put Buyer in actual possession and control of all the Purchased Assets. From time to time following the Closing, Seller shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to Buyer such other instruments of conveyance and transfer as Buyer may reasonably request or as may be otherwise necessary to more effectively convey and transfer to, and vest in, Buyer and put Buyer in possession of, any part of the Purchased Assets and the full benefit of the Business, and, in the case of licenses, certificates, approvals, authorizations, agreements, contracts, leases, easements and other commitments included in the Purchased Assets (a) which cannot be transferred or assigned effectively without the consent of third parties which consent has not been obtained prior to the Closing, to cooperate with Buyer at its request in endeavoring to obtain such consent promptly, and if any such consent is unobtainable, to use its best efforts to secure to Buyer the benefits thereof in some other manner, or (b) which are otherwise not transferable or assignable, to use its best efforts jointly with Buyer to secure to Buyer the benefits thereof in some other manner (including the exercise of the rights of Seller thereunder); provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve Seller of its obligations under Section 7.3. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any license, certificate, approval, authorization, agreement, contract, lease, easement or other commitment included in the Purchased Assets if an attempted assignment thereof without the consent of a third party thereto would constitute a breach thereof.

13.14. Governing Law and Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive internal laws (as opposed to the conflicts of law provisions) of the Kingdom of Thailand.

13.15. Arbitration.

(a) This Section 13.5 sets forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the settlement of any disputes, controversy or difference of any kind whatsoever between the parties arising out of or related to this Agreement, including, without limitation any questions regarding its existence, validity, termination or the rights or obligations of any party. This Section shall survive the termination or invalidity of any of other provision of this Agreement.

(b) Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, which is not amicably settled within 60 calendar days, shall be referred to the Chief Executive Officer or the most senior officer of each party (the “Officer”). Each party shall procure that its Officer shall negotiate in good faith with the other Officers with a view to resolution of such dispute. Upon

the resolution of such dispute in accordance with the foregoing, the parties shall be bound to give effect to the agreement reached between the Officers in respect of such dispute.

(c) If such dispute is not resolved by agreement between the Officers within 30 calendar days after the referral to the Officers in accordance with Clause 13.15(b), such dispute shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in Hong Kong before an arbitrator in accordance with the Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (“Rules”).

(d) Arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.

(e) No party shall be entitled to commence or file any action in a court of law relating to any dispute arising from and in relation to this Agreement until the matter will have been determined by arbitration as provided in this Section 13.15 and then only for the enforcement of any arbitral award granted pursuant to this Section 13.15.

(f) Any decision of the arbitrators pursuant to Section 13.15(b) shall be final, incontestable and binding upon the parties and may be used as a basis for enforcement thereon in Kingdom of Thailand, Singapore or elsewhere.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Related Agreements shall be subject to this Section 13.15.

(h) During the period of submission to arbitration and thereafter until an award is granted, the parties shall continue to perform all their respective obligations under this Agreement without prejudice to a final decision in accordance with the said award.

13.16. No Shop.

Seller Guarantor and Seller undertake to Buyer that during the period from the date hereof until the Closing Date each of them will not, and shall procure and ensure that their Affiliates, directors, employees and authorized representatives will not, directly or indirectly speak or discuss, enter into any agreement or understanding (whether or not such agreement or understanding is absolute, revocable, contingent, conditional, oral, written, binding or otherwise) or solicit with any third party with regard to an actual or potential sale, transfer or other disposal of the Business.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed the day and year first above written.
