         the Earnout Payments are a significant aspect of the consideration
         payable in the sale and purchase of the Shares, and that both the
         Sellers and Parent expect to derive significant financial benefits if,
         during the Determination Period, the Actual Net Income of the Company

                  pursuant to Section 2.04(c); and

                                       51


<PAGE>


Tax indemnification set forth in Section 5.15 hereof) payable but not paid on a
timely basis by any Seller, the Company, the PRC WFOE or the Related Entities in
connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

         9.03 Method of Asserting Claims. An Indemnified Party shall give the
Sellers notice of any matter which such Indemnified Party has reasonably
determined has given or could give rise to a claim under this Agreement, within
30 days of such determination, 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 claim is made or arises. The obligations
and Liabilities of the relevant Sellers under this Section 9 with respect to
Losses arising from claims of any third party which are subject to the
indemnification provided for in this Section 9 ("Third Party Claims") shall be
governed by and be contingent upon the following additional terms and
conditions: if an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party
Claim, such Indemnified Party shall give the relevant Sellers notice of such
Third Party Claim within 30 days of the receipt by the Indemnified Party of such
notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not
release the relevant Sellers from, or provide a defense against, any of their
obligations under this Section 9 except to the extent that the relevant Sellers
are materially prejudiced by such failure. If the relevant Sellers acknowledge
in writing their obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against
any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, then the relevant
Sellers shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party
Claim at their expense and through counsel of their choice if they give notice
of their intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within five days of the
receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if
there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would
make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party in its
sole and absolute discretion for the same counsel to represent both the
Indemnified Party and the relevant Sellers, then the Indemnified Party shall be
entitled to retain its own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the
Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at the expense of the relevant
Sellers. In the event that the relevant Sellers exercise the right to undertake
any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the
Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the relevant Sellers in such defense and
make available to the relevant Sellers 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
relevant Sellers. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or
indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the
relevant Sellers 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 possession of the relevant Sellers or under their control
relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. No such
Third Party Claim may be settled by the relevant Sellers without the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party.

terminating party if such non-terminating party fails to cure such breach within
ten (10) Business Days following notification thereof by the terminating party
or (ii) upon notice to the non-terminating party by the terminating party that
the satisfaction of any material condition to the terminating party's
obligations under this Agreement becomes impossible or impracticable with the
use of commercially reasonable efforts if the failure of such condition to be
satisfied is not caused by a material breach hereof by the terminating party

to Section 10.01, there will be no liability or obligation on the part of any

effect; provided, however, that (i) the obligations set forth in Sections 6.05,

any such termination shall not relieve any defaulting Party from liability in
respect of its default under this Agreement.

a party hereto in pursuit of its rights or in the exercise of its remedies
hereunder, all documents and information concerning the other party or any of
its Affiliates furnished to it by the other party in connection with this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without
limitation, the terms and conditions of this Agreement except to the extent that

documents and information confidential. In the event the transactions
contemplated hereby are not consummated, upon the request of the other party,
each party hereto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly redeliver

         11.14 Exercise of Rights. A party may exercise a right, power or remedy
at its discretion, and separately or concurrently with another right, power or
remedy. A single or partial exercise of a right, power or remedy by a party does
not prevent a further exercise of that or of any other right, power or remedy.
Failure by a party to exercise or delay in exercising a right, power or remedy
does not prevent its exercise. Subject to the limitation of liability set forth
in Section 9.02A, the rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement are
cumulative with and not exclusive of the rights, powers or remedies provided by
law independently of this Agreement.

         11.15 Rule of Construction. As each of the parties has reviewed this

         11.16 Further Assurances. Each party agrees, at its own expense, on the
request of any other party, to do everything reasonably necessary to give effect
to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by it (including, without
limitation, the execution of documents) and to use all reasonable endeavors to
cause relevant third parties to do likewise.

         11.17 Absence of Joint and Several Liability. Each of the
representations, warranties, undertakings and obligations on the part of the
Non-Management Sellers hereunder is made or entered into jointly and severally
as among themselves, but severally and not jointly as between themselves, on the
one hand, and the Management Sellers, the Company and the Related Entities, on
the other hand; provided that in any case where any Non-Management Seller is
finally determined to have any liability hereunder, such liability shall be
equal to the relevant Loss multiplied by the shareholding percentage held by
such Non-Management Seller in the Company as set forth in Schedule E attached
hereto.
