7.9.2 give to the Seller and its advisors (at the Seller’s expense), reasonable access (including the right to take copies) during normal business hours, to all such records of the Group as the Seller and its advisors may reasonably request with respect to any such Seller Claim, it being specified that the Seller hereby agrees to keep all such information confidential and to use it only for the purpose of investigating and defending the Seller Claim in question.

7.10 The Seller shall not be liable for any Loss to the extent such Loss occurs or is increased as a result of:

7.10.1 any action of any member of the Seller’s Group or any of the Group Companies made pursuant to this Agreement or made with the prior written approval in writing of the Buyer; or

7.10.2 the entry into force of, or any change in, after the Completion Date, any Law, or any practice of any Governmental Authority (including any increase in the Tax rates or any new Tax), even if such entry into force or change has a retroactive effect.

7.11 If the Seller has paid an amount in discharge of any Seller Claim, and the Buyer or any Group Company subsequently recovers from a third party a sum that indemnifies or compensates the Buyer or Group Company (in whole or in part) for the losses that are the subject matter of such Seller Claim, the Buyer shall, or shall procure that the relevant Group Company shall, pay to the Seller as soon as practicable after receipt of

such sum an amount equal to:

7.11.1 the sum recovered from the third party less any costs, Tax, and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery and, in the event of recovery under an insurance policy of the Group, less any increase in the premium on renewal of such policy related to such recovery; or

7.11.2 if less, the amount previously paid by the Seller to the Buyer.

7.12 The provisions of this Clause 7.12 shall apply in the event that any claim is made or threatened by any third party against the Buyer or any Group Company which may reasonably be expected to give rise to a Seller Claim (a “Third Party Claim”). In the event of a Third Party Claim, the Buyer shall or shall procure that a Group Company shall:

7.12.1 as soon as reasonably practicable after the date upon which the Buyer (or a Group Company) receives notice or becomes aware of a Third Party Claim, give written notice of the Third Party Claim to the Seller, specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the Third Party Claim (provided, however, that any lack of compliance with this Clause 7.12.1 shall not result in the Buyer or any Group Company being deprived from its right to recovery from the Seller hereunder but shall solely result in a reduction of such recovery if and to the extent such lack of compliance has actually prejudiced the Seller’s interests);

7.12.2 keep the Seller reasonably informed of the progress of, and all material developments in relation to, the Third Party Claim and provide the Seller with copies of all material information and correspondence relating to such claim;

7.12.3 to the extent reasonably practicable, consult with the Seller prior to taking any material action in relation to the Third Party Claim and reasonably take into account any comments and requests of the Seller in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim;

7.12.4 give the Seller and its professional advisers reasonable access at reasonable times (and on reasonable prior notice) to its premises and personnel, and to any relevant assets, accounts, documents or records within its control, for the purposes of enabling the Seller and its advisers to assess the Third Party Claim, and enabling the Seller to exercise its or their rights under this Clause 7.12;

7.12.5 not agree any compromise or settlement, or make any admission of liability or payment in relation to a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

7.12.6 if required by the Seller in writing within 20 Business Days of the Claim Notice, delegate the conduct of any legal proceedings in respect of the Third Party Claim to the Seller, provided that:

(a) the Seller shall not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim unless the Buyer shall have consented to the terms of such settlement, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, delayed or conditioned;

(b) the Seller shall not be entitled to assume control of Third Party Claim if:

(1) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi criminal action;

(2) in the reasonable opinion of the Buyer, the proposed conduct of the Third Party Claim by the Seller would be prejudicial to the business of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates;

(3) a conflict of interest exists between the Seller and the Buyer; or

(4) the amount of Losses reasonably expected to be incurred in such Third Party Claim exceeds:

(a) in the event of a claim under this Agreement (other than with respect to a claim for breach of a Seller Warranty (other than a claim for breach of the Title and Authority Warranties)), the value of the net assets of the Seller, including the amount standing to credit of the Escrow Account; or

(b) in the event of a claim for breach of a Seller Warranty (other than a claim for breach of the Title and Authority Warranties), the amount standing to credit of the Escrow Account; and

(c) if the Seller fails to defend such Third Party Claim in a commercially reasonable manner, the Buyer shall have the right to take over conduct of such legal proceedings in such manner as it deems appropriate; and

(d) in the event that Buyer assumes control of any Third Party Claim as a result of the operation of the foregoing Clause 7.12.6(b) or Clause 7.12.6(c) then for the avoidance of doubt Clauses 7.12.2 through 7.12.5 shall apply.

For this purpose, the Buyer shall retain such firm of solicitors as is selected by the Seller to proceed on behalf of the Buyer or Group Company (as the case may be) in relation to the proceedings in accordance with the instructions of the Seller, and the Buyer shall give such information and assistance as the Seller or the appointed solicitors may require in connection with the conduct of the proceedings.

7.13 Nothing in the Transaction Documents shall or shall be deemed to relieve or abrogate the Buyer or any member of the Buyer’s Group of any duty to mitigate any loss or damage.

7.14 The Seller shall not be liable in respect of any Seller Claim to the extent that the subject of such claim has been made or is made good or is otherwise compensated for

without cost to the Buyer or the Group (to the Buyer’s satisfaction, acting reasonably).

7.15 The Buyer shall not be entitled to recover from the Seller under this Agreement more than once in respect of the same Seller Claim notwithstanding that a Loss may result from a breach or inaccuracy of more than one warranty, indemnity or covenant of the Seller hereunder or from a reduction (or increase) in the amount of any item included in the calculation of the Completion Amount.

7.16 The Seller shall not be liable for any punitive damages hereunder unless awarded in connection with a Third Party Claim.

7.17 In the event of a breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, no Party shall be entitled to rescind this Agreement or treat this Agreement as terminated but shall only be entitled to claim damages in accordance with this Agreement in respect of such matter. Accordingly, the Buyer and the Seller hereby waives any and all rights of rescission it may have in respect of any such matter (howsoever arising or deemed to arise) provided that under no circumstance shall Completion be deemed to have occurred unless the Buyer has paid the Purchase Price and made other payments required to be made by it at Completion pursuant to Clause 3.4 and the Seller has transferred the Sale Shares to the Buyer.)

7.18 The amount of any Loss for which the Seller may be liable under this Agreement shall (i) be net of the time value of any actual Tax benefits realized or realizable by the Buyer or its Affiliates (including, after Completion, the Group Companies) with respect to such Loss and (ii) not include any amount which would not have arisen but for: (1) any arrangement voluntarily entered into by any member of the Buyer’s Group with a Governmental Entity or Tax Authority; (2) any voluntary change in a Group Companies’ accounting procedures, principles or reference date (other than as required by Law or IFRS); (3) any election, surrender or disclaimer voluntarily made by any member of the Buyer’s Group; (4) any withdrawal or amendment voluntarily made by any member of the Buyer’s Group in respect of any pre-Completion Tax return, election, claim or surrender; in each case after Completion otherwise than in the ordinary course of business, the effect of which is to increase any pre-Completion liability to Tax of any Group Company, but for the purposes of this Clause 7.18, an act, transaction or omission will not be regarded as voluntary (A) if undertaken pursuant to a legally binding obligation entered into by a Group Company on or before Completion or (B) if imposed on the relevant person by or required in order to comply with any legislation whether coming into force on or before Completion, or (C) if carried out at the written request of or with the written consent of the Seller.

7.19 The Seller shall not be liable in respect of any claim (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Seller Claim) to the extent that (a) such claim is based on any matter, fact or circumstance fairly disclosed in the Disclosed Information or (b) any member of the Buyer’s Deal Team had actual knowledge of such breach as of the date of this Agreement from (or that the facts, matter, event or circumstance giving rise to such breach were referred to in) its due diligence investigation. It is specified that disclosures made in the Disclosure Letter against a specific warranty shall be deemed to be made generally in respect of the Agreement and to qualify all warranties of the Seller contained therein.

7.20 The Seller shall not be liable for any Seller Claim which arises by reason of a liability which, at the time when written notice of the Seller Claim is given to the Seller in accordance with Clause 7.5, is contingent only or is otherwise not capable of being quantified and the Seller shall not be liable to make any payment in respect of such Seller Claim unless and until the liability becomes an actual liability or (as the case may be) becomes capable of being quantified.

7.21 The Seller, for itself and on behalf of other members of the Seller’s Group from and after Completion shall:

7.21.1 waive any rights, remedies and claims (whether known or unknown) they may have against any member of the Buyer’s Group or any of its Representatives (other than the Buyer and the Guarantor) and, following Completion, any present or former employee, director, agent, officer or adviser to or of a Group Company arising out of this Agreement or the Transaction;

7.21.2 waive any rights, remedies and claims (whether known or unknown) they may have against any Group Company arising out of actions taken prior to Completion; and

7.21.3 waive any rights, remedies and claims actually known by the Seller (as determined in accordance with Clause 1.2.17) against any present or former employees, directors, agents, officers or advisers of any Group Company arising from their performance of their duties as an employee, director, agent, officer or adviser to a Group Company prior to Completion,

in each case other than in the case of fraud.

19.4 If there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Transaction Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

19.5 The Seller shall:

19.5.1 within the applicable time period and at its own cost, submit in compliance with section 9 of Public Notice 7 a report of the transaction evidencing on a self-assessment basis the commercial nature of the transaction and the non-application of section 1 of the Public Notice 7 in respect of the indirect transfer of the PRC Group Companies pursuant to this Agreement and such report shall to the best of the Seller’s knowledge and belief be true and accurate in all material respects, and shall give the Buyer a copy of (a) such submitted report, and (b) written acknowledgement of receipt of such submission by the relevant Tax Authority; and

19.5.2 indemnify the Buyer in respect of:

(a) any liability of a member of the Buyer’s Group to the extent arising as a result of the failure of the Seller to comply with its obligations in Clause 19.5.1; and

(b) any withholding or deduction for or on account of PRC corporate income tax (and any related penalties, charges, surcharges, fines and interest relating thereto) that the relevant Tax Authority ultimately determines the Buyer should have made in respect of payments of Purchase Price under this Agreement, whether arising from non-compliance of the Seller’s obligations under Clause 19.5.1 or otherwise.

19.6 The liability of the Seller pursuant to Clause 19.5 above shall terminate twelve months after the Completion Date, unless prior to that date the Buyer has notified the Seller of a claim in writing (specifying in such detail as is reasonably available to the Buyer at the time, the legal and factual basis of the claim, the evidence on which the Buyer relies and, if reasonably practicable, the amount likely to be claimed) and a determination of the relevant Tax Authority in respect of such claim is received within six months after (and excluding) the date on which such notification is made by the Buyer.

19.7 For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer shall not be entitled at Completion to deduct or withhold from the Purchase Price any amount in respect of PRC corporate income tax pursuant to Public Notice 7, unless the relevant Tax Authority determines on or before Completion in writing that such deduction or withholding is required by Law.

19.8 The Buyer and the Seller shall provide to each other all reasonable assistance and information after Completion (including access to records or information possessed, readily available and maintained by the Group Companies at Completion) in connection with any request from the relevant Tax Authority as referred to in Clauses 19.5, 19.6 and 19.7. For the avoidance of doubt, such assistance shall not include making any filing or submission, or claiming, asserting or establishing any defence with, to or against the relevant Tax Authority or handling such matter for or on behalf of any person.

20. Remedies

20.1 The rights and remedies conferred on any Party by, or pursuant to, this Agreement are cumulative and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other rights and remedies available to such Party at Law or in equity.

21.2 Any waiver of a breach of any term or condition of this Agreement shall not be, or be deemed to be, a waiver of any subsequent breach.

21.3 Failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement at any time or for any period shall not waive that or any other provision or the right subsequently to enforce all provisions of this Agreement.

21.4 Failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right or remedy shall not operate as a waiver or be treated as an election not to exercise such right or remedy, and single or partial exercise or waiver of any right or remedy shall not preclude its further exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

22.1 If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any judicial or other competent authority, all other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not in any way be impaired.

22.2 If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable but would be valid or enforceable if some part of the provision were deleted or amended, the provision in question will apply with the minimum modifications necessary to make it valid and enforceable and, if necessary, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend the provision so that, as amended, it is legal, valid and enforceable, and achieves the Parties’ original commercial intention.

23.2 The Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement and supersede any previous agreements between the Parties relating to the subject matter thereof.

23.3 The Buyer acknowledges and represents that it has not relied on or been induced to enter into this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by a Representation given by the Seller, any of its Affiliates or its advisers, general partners or managers or any of their respective directors, officers, partners or employees other than as expressly set out as a warranty (and not implying any other commitment) in the Seller Warranties or in the other Transaction Documents.

23.4 The Seller acknowledges and represents that it has not relied on or been induced to enter into this Agreement by any Representation given by the Buyer or any of its advisers or providers of finance (other than the warranties given by the Buyer and

23.5.4 No claim (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Seller Claim) shall be brought or maintained by, or on behalf of, any member of the Buyer’s Group against any member of the Seller’s Group (other than the Seller), and no recourse shall be sought or granted against any of them, by virtue of, or based upon, any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in, or breach of, any of the warranties, covenants and/or undertakings of the Seller contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the subject matter of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transaction, the business, ownership, operation, management, use or control of the Business, any of their assets or any actions or omissions at, or prior to, Completion

24. Assignment

24.1 This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure for the benefit of the successors of each of the Parties.

24.2 Subject to Clause 24.4, no Party shall assign, transfer, declare a trust of the benefit of or in any other way alienate any of its rights under this Agreement, whether in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Buyer and the Seller, and any such purported assignment, transfer, declaration or alienation shall be void; provided that the Seller and the Buyer may assign its respective rights (but not its obligations) to one of its Affiliates provided that the non-assigning party shall be under no greater obligation as a result of such assignment and provided that if such assignee ceases to be an Affiliate of the assignor, all rights so assigned shall be deemed automatically to be re-assigned to the assignor immediately before such cessation; provided that, a merger of the Seller with another member of the Seller’s Group (as a result of which the surviving entity of such merger inherits the assets of the Seller and assumes the liabilities of the Seller) shall not, subject to Clause 24.3, be deemed to be an assignment, transfer, declaration of trust or other alienation of this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder and shall not require Buyer’s consent under this Clause 24.2.

24.3 In the event that the Seller proposes to undertake a merger of the Seller with another

member of the Seller’s Group and the surviving entity following such merger is not the Seller, no such merger shall occur unless the Parties have entered into a deed of novation (in form and substance customary for such a novation or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the parties thereto) novating (within the merger process and as a consequence to the merger) all rights and obligations of the Seller to the surviving entity. The Buyer and the Guarantor shall, if requested by the Seller, enter into such deed of novation; provided that the entry into such deed of novation shall not adversely affect the Buyer.

24.4 The Buyer or any member of the Buyer’s Group may charge and/or assign the benefit of this Agreement to any bank or financial institution by way of security for the purposes of or in connection with the financing or refinancing (whether in whole or in part) by the Buyer of the acquisition of the Sale Shares, provided that any assignment or transfer pursuant to this Clause 24.4 shall not result in any increase in the liability of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
