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




26









Table of Contents







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



27









Table of Contents




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



28









Table of Contents




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.







     8.5. Seller Guarantor’s Guarantee.



          (a) In consideration of the mutual covenants and provisions contained in this Agreement and
other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged), Seller Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Buyer the due
and punctual performance and observance by Seller of all of its obligations, commitments and
undertakings under and/or pursuant to this Agreement and agrees to indemnify Buyer against all

Seller of its obligations, commitments or undertakings under or pursuant to this Agreement. The
liability of Seller Guarantor under this Section 8.5 shall not be released or diminished by
any variation of the terms of this Agreement (whether or not agreed by Seller Guarantor), any
forbearance, neglect or delay in seeking performance of the obligations hereby imposed, any

obligation or liability undertaken or expressed to be undertaken by Seller under or pursuant to
this Agreement, and continues to be in default 10 Business Days after Buyer’s written notice to
Seller to remedy such default, Seller Guarantor shall forthwith upon demand unconditionally perform
(or procure performance of) and satisfy (or procure the satisfaction of) the obligation or

obligation or liability had been duly performed and satisfied by Seller.



          (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.

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.



          (e) If any payment (or part thereof) made by Seller is avoided or reduced as a result of
insolvency or any similar event:

     (i) the liability of Seller Guarantor under this guarantee shall continue as
if the avoidance or reduction had not occurred; and




     (ii) Buyer shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of that payment
from Seller Guarantor, as if that avoidance or reduction had not occurred.



          (f) To the extent that nothing in this paragraph (f) conflicts or is inconsistent with the

any granting of time for such performance, or the termination of this Agreement by Seller under any
provision entitling Seller to terminate this Agreement.

notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement until the Payment Obligation shall have been
performed or satisfied.



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



          (e) If any payment made by Buyer is avoided or reduced as a result of insolvency or any
similar event:




     (i) the liability of Buyer Guarantor under this guarantee shall continue as if

security, including any other guarantor or person liable for any part
of the obligations of Buyer hereby guaranteed;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	any right that Buyer Guarantor may have to

lacked the capacity or authority to incur all or any of the
obligations of Buyer or may have incurred all or any of such
obligations by mistake;

          (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



37









Table of Contents





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.



38









Table of Contents





          (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.

     13.2. Confidential Nature of Information. Each party agrees that it will treat in
confidence all documents, materials and other information which it shall have obtained regarding
any other party during the course of the negotiations leading to the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby (whether obtained before or after the date of this Agreement), the
investigation provided for herein and the preparation of this Agreement and other related
documents, and, in the event the transactions contemplated hereby shall not be consummated, each
party will return to the other party all copies of non-public documents and materials which have
been furnished in connection therewith. Such documents, materials and information shall not be
communicated to any third Person (other than, in the case of Buyer, to its counsel, accountants,
financial advisors or lenders, and in the case of Seller, to its counsel, accountants or financial
advisors). No other party shall use any confidential information in any manner whatsoever except
solely for the purpose of evaluating the proposed purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets;
provided, however, that after the Closing, Buyer may use or disclose any
confidential information included in the Purchased Assets or otherwise reasonably related to the
Business or the Purchased Assets. The obligation of each party to treat such documents, materials
and other information in confidence shall not apply to any information which (i) is or becomes
available to such party from a source other than such party, (ii) is or becomes available to the
public other than as a result of disclosure by such party or its agents, (iii) is required to be
disclosed under applicable law or judicial process, but only to the extent it must be disclosed, or
(iv) such party reasonably deems necessary to disclose to obtain any of the consents or approvals
contemplated hereby.







     13.3. No Public Announcement. Neither Buyer nor Seller nor Issuer shall, without the
approval of the other parties, make any press release or other public announcement concerning the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as and to the extent that any such party shall
be so obligated by law or the rules of any stock exchange, in which case the other party shall be
advised and the parties shall use their best efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or
announcement to be issued; provided that the foregoing shall not preclude communications or
disclosures necessary to implement the provisions of this Agreement or to comply with any
applicable accounting and Securities and Exchange Commission disclosure obligations.







     13.4. Notices. All notices, approvals, consents or other communication in connection
with this Agreement:



          (a) must be given by an authorized officer of the relevant party;

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



43









Table of Contents






     (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



44









Table of Contents







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



46









Table of Contents







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.
