SECTION 6.12.    Malaysian Target Company Tax Holiday.  Prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause the Malaysian Target Company to comply with the Pioneer Tax Incentive (if applicable, as amended by the applicable Government Authority). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that (i) its only remedy for Seller’s breach of this Section 6.12 shall be a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.02(b), (ii) Seller’s indemnification obligations with respect to any breach of this Section 6.12 shall be limited to any Tax Losses incurred by Buyer and/or the Malaysian Target Company for the full tax holiday period (starting from March 2013 ending February 2018) as a result of such breach and (iii) Seller shall not be deemed to be in breach of this covenant provided that Seller applies for an amendment of the Pioneer Tax Incentive prior to 29 February 2016, but such amendment is only granted following the Closing, and for the avoidance of doubt, in such event, Seller shall only be deemed to be in breach hereof if and when its application for an amendment is formally denied by the applicable Government Authority.  For purposes hereof, “Tax Losses” shall mean any Taxes which Buyer and/or the Malaysian Target Company (as the case may be) is or becomes liable to pay, and arising from or in connection with a breach of Seller under this Section 6.12 (including any charges, costs, penalties, fines and interest imposed by the Malaysian tax authorities on such Taxes and any unabsorbed balances for Tax purposes which have been utilized in advance, but excluding to the extent any such Taxes arise from Buyer’s failure to cause the Malaysian Target Company to comply with the Pioneer Tax Incentive post Closing).
SECTION 6.13.    Retention Bonuses.  The Parties agree and acknowledge that certain Continuing Employees will be entitled to retention bonuses following the Closing, which will be paid to such Continuing Employees following the Closing (the “Retention Bonuses”, and the Continuing Employees entitled to the Retention Bonuses, the “Subject Employees”).  Promptly following the date hereof, the Parties shall mutually agree on the identities of the Subject Employees, the amount of the Retention Bonus that each such Subject Employee shall be entitled to and any other terms and conditions relating to any such Retention Bonus.  All of the Retention Bonuses shall be paid to the Subject Employees over a 3 to 5 year period following the Closing, in accordance with the terms applicable to each such Retention Bonus.  With respect to (a) certain key Subject Employees agreed upon between the Parties as of the date hereof, Buyer shall be responsible for paying 50% of the Retention Bonuses, up to an aggregate payment by Buyer not to exceed $500,000, and Seller shall be responsible for paying the remaining amounts owed to such key Subject Employees and (b) all other Subject Employees, Seller shall be responsible for paying 100% of the Retention Bonuses. Seller shall fund any amounts for which it is responsible to Buyer for payment to the Subject Employees on an annual basis, so long as the Retention Bonuses are paid annually (or if such Retention Bonuses are paid on a semi-annual or quarterly basis, Seller shall fund its portion thereof on a semi-annual or quarterly basis, as applicable).   In the event that any Retention Bonus is not paid to any Subject Employee for any reason or no reason, then the portion of such Retention Bonus funded by Seller shall be immediately reimbursed by Buyer to Seller.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall payment of the Retention Bonuses by Seller, Buyer, the Target Companies or any of their respective Affiliates be included in the cost structure or profit target calculation of the Target Companies and their Subsidiaries, or otherwise be included in any of the matters contemplated by that certain letter agreement to be entered into among Seller and Buyer with respect to the cost structure, profit target calculation and other similar matters of the Target Companies.

SECTION 6.14.    Export Control Approvals Determination. Within 60 days of the date hereof, Seller shall reasonably determine if an application for any Export Control Approval is required in furtherance of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or with respect to the possession, use, transfer and disposition of any such commodities, software or technology by Buyer (if applicable) or any of Buyer's Affiliates in connection with the performance by any of Buyer's Affiliates of any services for Seller or any of Seller's Affiliates after Closing, and shall notify Buyer in writing of such determination within five (5) days. At Buyer’s request, Seller shall provide the Buyer Counsel with evidence to support Seller’s determination that is reasonably satisfactory to such counsel. For the avoidance of doubt, if: (i) Seller determines per this section that the Export Control Approval is required, then the condition referred to in Section 8.03(c) must be satisfied on or before the Sunset Date for the Closing to occur; and (ii) for any reasons Seller does not make a determination within the 60-day period, then the condition referred to in Section 8.03(c) will be deemed to have been waived on expiry of such period. If Buyer Counsel, if appointed, disagrees with Seller’s determination, Buyer Counsel shall notify Seller within five (5) days of Seller’s notice to Buyer, and Seller and Buyer Counsel shall seek to resolve such disagreement in good faith within ten (10) days, but Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any such determination is ultimately in Seller’s reasonable discretion.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that with respect to any claim that any Party may have against any other Party that is permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the survival periods set forth and agreed to in this Section 9.01 shall govern when any such claim may be brought and shall replace and supersede any statute of limitations that may otherwise be applicable. If a written notice of indemnification has been timely given in accordance with this Agreement prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period for such representation, warranty or covenant, then the applicable representation, warranty or covenant shall survive as to such claim, until such claim has been finally resolved.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the survival periods set forth in this Section 9.01 shall not apply to claims of fraud.
SECTION 9.02.    Indemnification of Buyer by Seller.  From and after the Closing, Buyer and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each a “Buyer Indemnified Party”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by Seller for and against any and all Losses, arising out of or resulting from:

	(ii)
	Seller shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.02(a), unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties equals or exceeds, in the aggregate, one percent (1%) of the Headline Amount (the “Threshold”), whereupon the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for the aggregate of all Losses, regardless of the Threshold (but subject to the limitations in Sections 9.05(a)(i) above and 9.05(a)(iii) below and any other limitations set forth in this Section 9.05); and


		
	(iii)
	the maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.02 shall be, in the aggregate, twelve and one half percent (12.5%) of the Headline Amount.


The limitations of Sections 9.05(a)(ii) and 9.05(a)(iii) shall not apply with respect to indemnification for any breach of any Fundamental Seller Representation, any breach of Section 6.12 or any breach of any representations and warranties of Seller otherwise contained in this Agreement due to fraud by, or for and on behalf of Seller, any Selling Holdco or any Target Company.  The limitations of Section 9.05(a)(i) shall not apply with respect to indemnification for any breach of Section 6.12 or any breach of any representations and warranties of Seller otherwise contained in this Agreement due to fraud by, or for and on behalf of Seller, any Selling Holdco or any Target Company.
(e)    In no event shall Seller be liable under Section 9.02 for any Losses attributable solely to the violation of any Law by Buyer or any of its Affiliates or arising from an action taken or not taken by Seller at the request of or with the consent of Buyer.
(f)    The amount of any Loss for which a Buyer Indemnified Party claims indemnification under this Agreement shall be reduced by: (i) any insurance proceeds actually received by such Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to such Loss; (ii) any Tax benefits actually realized by such Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to such Loss and (iii) indemnification or reimbursement payments actually received by such Buyer Indemnified Party from third parties with respect to such Loss.

43




SV\1617695.10






(g)    If an Indemnified Party shall recover Losses in respect of a claim of indemnification under this Article IX, no other Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the same Losses in respect of a claim for indemnification.
(h)    NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, NO PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR, AND THE DEFINITION OF LOSSES SHALL NOT INCLUDE, ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST BENEFITS, LOSS OF ENTERPRISE VALUE, DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR MULTIPLES OF EARNINGS OF ANY BUSINESS, DAMAGE TO REPUTATION OR LOSS TO GOODWILL, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OTHER LAW OR OTHERWISE AND WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM ANY OTHER PARTY’S SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER FAULT EXCEPT, WITH RESPECT TO THE DEFINITION OF LOSSES, TO THE EXTENT SUCH DAMAGES ARE ACTUALLY AWARDED TO A GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY OR ANOTHER THIRD PARTY IN A THIRD PARTY CLAIM; PROVIDED THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATION SHALL NOT LIMIT EITHER PARTY’S RIGHT TO RECOVER CONTRACT DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH THE OTHER PARTY’S FAILURE TO CLOSE IN VIOLATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties shall have a duty to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Loss in accordance with Law arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(j)    If the Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Losses pursuant to Sections 9.02 or 9.03 and the Indemnifying Party could have recovered all or a part of such Losses from a third party, including any provider of insurance (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying claim asserted against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall assign such of its rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor as are necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment.
(k)    The right to indemnification or other remedy pursuant to this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance with, the applicable representation, warranty, covenant or agreement giving rise to the applicable claim for indemnification.
SECTION 9.06.    Notice of Loss; Third Party Claims.
(a)    An Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of any matter that an Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, within fifteen (15) days of becoming aware of the matter giving rise thereto, stating 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.

44




SV\1617695.10






(b)    If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Action, audit, demand or assessment (each, a “Third Party Claim”) against it or which may give rise to a claim for a Loss under this Article IX, within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim (a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the failure to provide a Claim Notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure.  If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, then 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 thirty (30) days of the receipt of a Claim Notice from the Indemnified Party of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel (at its expense).  In the event that the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party 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.  Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s Control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party.  No such Third Party Claim may be settled by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, unless (i) the settlement agreement contains a complete and unconditional general release by the third party asserting the claim to all Indemnified Parties affected by the claim and (ii) the settlement agreement does not contain any sanction or restriction upon the conduct of any business by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates.
(c)    Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, a claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the Party from whom indemnification is sought within fifteen (15) days of the Indemnified Party becoming aware of the matter giving rise to such claim; such notice describing in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, the amount of the claim or a reasonably detailed estimate thereof, a copy of all papers served with respect to such claim (if any), and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement.  Subject to Section 9.01, failure to timely provide such notice shall not affect the right of the Indemnified Party’s indemnification hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure.
SECTION 9.07.    Tax Treatment. The Parties agree that all payments made by Seller or Buyer to or for the benefit of the other under this Article IX, under other indemnity provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement unless otherwise stated in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and for any breaches of 

45




SV\1617695.10






representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes and that such treatment shall govern for purposes hereof except to the extent that the Laws of a particular jurisdiction provide otherwise.
SECTION 9.08.    Exclusive Remedy. Except as set forth in the immediately subsequent sentence, after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all claims, Losses or other matters arising under, out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be the rights of indemnification set forth in this Article IX only and no Person will have any other entitlement, remedy or recourse, whether in contract, tort, strict liability, equitable remedy or otherwise, it being agreed that all of such other remedies, entitlements and recourse are expressly waived and released by the Parties to the fullest extent permitted by Law.  The foregoing sentence, however, will not operate to interfere with or impede the operation of the covenants and agreements contained herein that contemplate performance following the Closing, or any Party’s right to equitable remedies (including specific performance or injunctive relief) pursuant to Section 11.09 in respect of any such covenants or agreements.

SECTION 11.03.    Illegality and Severability.  If application of any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be unlawful under applicable Law and regulations, then the Parties will attempt in good faith to make such alternative arrangements as may be legally permissible and which carry out as nearly as practicable the terms of this Agreement. Should any portion of this Agreement be deemed unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining portion hereof shall remain unaffected and be interpreted as if such unenforceable portions were initially deleted.
SECTION 11.04.    Entire Agreement; Amendment; Waiver. 
(d)    This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and any other agreements contemplated hereby or thereby among Buyer and Seller, constitute  (along with the Disclosure Schedule, the exhibits, and the other documents to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement) the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written and oral, between or among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof or thereof.  No representation, inducement, promise, understanding, condition or warranty not set forth in this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements has been made or relied upon by any Party.  
(e)    Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if such amendment or waiver is in writing and approved by (i) in the case of a waiver, the Party waiving a right and (ii) in the case of an amendment, each of the Parties hereto.
(f)    No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies in this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.
SECTION 11.05.    Assignment.  This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the express written consent of each Party (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of such Party) and any such assignment or attempted assignment without such consent shall be void. In the event of a permitted assignment hereof, any such assignor shall remain jointly and severally liable for its obligations and the obligations of its permitted assignee.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
SECTION 11.06.    Disclosure Schedule.  Unless the context otherwise requires, all capitalized terms used in the Disclosure Schedule shall have the respective meanings assigned in this Agreement.  No reference to or disclosure of any item or other matter in the Disclosure Schedule shall be construed as an admission or indication that such item or other matter is material or that such item or other matter is required to be referred to or disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule.  No disclosure in the Disclosure Schedule relating to any possible breach or violation of any agreement or Law shall be construed as an admission 

50




SV\1617695.10






or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.  The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment by Seller, in and of itself, that such information is material to, or outside the ordinary course of, its business or required to be disclosed on the Disclosure Schedule.  The Disclosure Schedule identifies items of disclosure with respect to a particular Schedule of the Disclosure Schedule by reference to the corresponding section of this Agreement, provided, however, that each disclosure in the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to qualify all other sections of this Agreement, notwithstanding the lack of a specific cross-reference or a different cross-reference, in each case to the extent the relevance of such disclosure to any such other section is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the Disclosure Schedule (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedule with respect to a specifically identified representation or warranty), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.
SECTION 11.07.    Third Party Beneficiaries.  Except for the provisions of Article IX relating to Indemnified Parties, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
SECTION 11.08.    Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.  
(a)    This Agreement and the rights and duties of the Parties hereto shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the Laws of Hong Kong.
(b)    All disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be finally settled under Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre Administered Arbitration Rules of the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “Rules”) by three arbitrators appointed in accordance with the Rules. The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The languages of arbitration shall be English and Chinese, which shall be given equal effect. The arbitrators shall render their award within six months after the constitution of the tribunal, unless the tribunal determines that the interest of justice requires that such limit be extended.  The arbitrators shall award only such damages as are permitted to be awarded pursuant to this Agreement.  Except as set forth below, the arbitral award shall be final, binding and incontestable and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The parties hereby expressly agree that sections 5, 6 and 7 of Schedule 2 to the Arbitration Ordinance (Chapter 609 of the Laws of Hong Kong) are to apply.  Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent either party from seeking provisional measures (including preliminary injunctive relief) from any court of competent jurisdiction, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with the agreement to arbitrate or a waiver of the right to arbitrate.  The parties undertake to keep confidential all awards in their arbitration, together with all materials in the proceedings created for the purpose of the arbitration and all other documents produced by the other party in the proceedings not otherwise in the public domain, save and to the extent that disclosure may be required of a party by legal duty, to protect or pursue

SECTION 11.09.    Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that any breach of this Agreement by the other Party will result in irreparable and continuing damage to the non-breaching Party for which there will be no adequate remedy at law and that, in the event of any such breach, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to an arbitrator’s award pursuant to Section 11.08(b) granting injunctive relief (including specific performance), or otherwise a grant of injunctive relief (including specific performance) from a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any provisional measures (including any preliminary relief) contemplated by, or any award obtained pursuant to Section 11.08(b), and to such further and other relief to enforce any such award or preliminary relief as may be necessary and proper to ensure compliance by the breaching Party with this Agreement, and the Parties consent to the entry of such award or relief, without necessity of posting bond or other security (any requirements therefor being expressly waived).
