the Parties.



 


		18.3	Each Party shall bear its own legal costs and expenses in relation to approving, negotiation and execution

		18.7	Time is of the essence for each Party to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement.



 


		18.8	This Agreement and the Specific Agreements together constitute the entire agreement and understanding
between the Parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement hereof and shall supersede and cancel in all respects all other previous
negotiations, proposal, arrangements, understandings or agreements, of any nature between the Parties on this subject matter. For the
avoidance of doubt, this Clause shall not terminate or affect the validity of the Specific Agreement(s) between the Parties (or between
the SPG Company and the SRG Company) with respect to the same subject matter which were entered into before the date of this Agreement.
To the extent there is any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the Specific Agreements, the Specific Agreements
shall prevail, save for Clause 2.2.



 


		18.9	Save for a SRG Company or a SPG Company, a person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under
the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Ordinance (Cap. 623 of the Laws
of Hong Kong) to enforce any term of, or enjoy any benefit under, this Agreement. No consent from the persons referred to in this Clause
is required for the Parties to vary or rescind this Agreement.
