1.5.2                     Cash Payment for Asset Option

 

Each time Party A exercises the Asset Option, the Purchase Price that is payable by Party A and/or the Designated Persons to the Transferor in connection with the Purchased Interest shall be paid in cash to any bank account or person designated by mutual agreement between the Transferor and Party A.

 

1.6                               Restrictions on Purchase Price

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the then applicable PRC laws or regulations require appraisal of the Purchased Interest or stipulate other restrictions on the Purchase Price at the time that Party A exercises the Option, the Parties agree that the Purchase Price shall be set at the lowest price permissible under applicable law.
