65 Schedule  7  - Tax Covenant 1. I NTERPRETATION The following definitions and rules of interpretation apply in this Tax Covenant . Definitions : Event : includes (without limitation), the earning, receipt or accrual for any Tax purpose of any income, profit or gains, the incurring of any Loss or expenditure, and any transaction (including the execution and completion of this Agreement), event, act or omission whatsoever, and any reference to an Event occurring on or before a particular date shall include Events that, for Tax purposes, are deemed to have, or are treated or regarded as having, occurred on or before that date . Liability for Tax: (a) any liability of Denselight to make an actual payment of, or in respect of, or on account of, Tax whether or not the same is primarily payable by Denselight and whether or not Denselight has, or may have, any right of reimbursement against any other person, in which case, the amount of the Liability for Tax will be the amount of the actual payment ; (b) the loss of or failure to obtain, for any reason, any right to a repayment of tax that has been taken into account in the Accounts, in which case, the amount of the Liability for Tax will be the amount of the repayment ; and (c) the use or setting off of any Relief arising to Denselight after Closing in circumstances where, but for such set off or use, Denselight would have had a liability to make a payment of or in respect of Tax for which the Buyer would have been able to make a claim against the Seller under this Tax Covenant, in which case, the amount of the Liability for Tax will be the amount of Tax for which the Seller would have been liable but for the setting off or use . 2. Relief : includes any loss, relief, allowance, credit, exemption or set off for Tax or any deduction in computing income, profits or gains for the purposes of Tax and any right to a repayment of Tax (including any repayment supplement or interest in respect of it) or to a payment in respect of Tax . Tax : all forms of tax and charges, duties, imposts, contributions, levies, withholdings or liabilities wherever chargeable in Singapore and any penalty, fine, surcharge, interest, charges or costs relating to it . Tax Claim : any assessment, notice, demand, letter or other document issued or action taken by or on behalf of the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore or equivalent Tax Authority in Singapore, self - assessment or other occurrence from which it appears that Denselight or the Buyer is or may be subject to a Liability for Tax . Tax Authority : means the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore or any official authority, body or official authorised under Singapore Law to impose, assess or collect Tax in Singapore or elsewhere . References to gross receipts, income, profits or gains earned, accrued or received shall include any gross receipts, income, profits or gains deemed, for any Tax purpose, to have been or treated or regarded as earned, accrued or received .



     


     



    



66 3. 4. Any stamp duty charged on any document (or in the case of a document that is outside Singapore, any stamp duty that would be charged on the document if it were brought into Singapore) that is necessary to establish the title of Denselight to any asset, and any interest, fine or penalty relating to the stamp duty, shall be deemed to be a liability of Denselight to make an actual payment of Tax because of an Event arising on the last day on which it would have been necessary to pay the stamp duty to avoid any liability to interest or penalties arising on it . C OVENANT Subject to the provisions of this Tax Covenant, the Seller covenants to pay to the Buyer an amount equal to any : (a) Liability for Tax resulting from, or by reference to, any Event occurring on or before Closing involving Denselight on or before Closing (including any Event in connection with the Intercompany Loan Capitalisation), whether or not that liability was discharged on or before Closing ; (b) Liability for Tax which arises solely due to the relationship for Tax purposes before Closing of Denselight with any person, whether arising before or after Closing ; and (c) Costs and expenses (including legal costs on a full indemnity basis), properly incurred by the Buyer or Denselight in connection with any Liability for Tax, any Tax Claim or taking or defending any action under this Schedule . 5. P AYMENT DATE AND INTEREST Payment by  the  Seller in respect  of any  liability under  this  Schedule  must  be made  in cleared  and immediately available funds on: (a) in the case of a Liability for Tax that involves an actual payment of or in respect of Tax, the later of seven Business Days before the due date for payment and seven Business Days after the date on which the Buyer serves notice on the Seller requesting payment ; (b) in a case that falls within paragraph (c) of the definition of Liability for Tax, the date on which the Tax saved by Denselight is or would have been required to be paid to the relevant Tax Authority ; or (c) in any other case, seven Business Days following the date on which the Buyer serves notice on the Seller requesting payment, 6. but in each case no later than the due date as stated in the notice issued by the Tax Authority . If any amount due from the Seller under this Tax Covenant is not paid on the date specified in paragraph 5 , then, in addition to the extent that the Seller’ liability under paragraph 4 includes interest and penalties to compensate the Buyer for the late payment, the amount due shall bear interest (to accrue on a daily basis before and after any judgment) at the rate of 2 % per annum above DBS Prime Lending Rate, compounded monthly on the last day of each calendar month ; from the day following the due date up to, and including, the day of actual payment of those sums .



     


     



    



67 7. E XCLUSIONS The covenant contained in paragraph 4 above shall not cover any Liability for Tax to the  extent that: (a) specific provision or reserve (other than a provision for deferred tax) for the liability is made in the Accounts ; (b) the Liability for Tax was paid on or before the date of the Accounts and the Accounts reflected that payment ; (c) it arises or is increased only as a result of any change in the law or rates of Tax (other than a change targeted specifically at countering a tax avoidance scheme) coming into force after Closing or the withdrawal of any extra - statutory concession previously made by a Tax Authority after Closing (provided that this paragraph 7 (c) will not apply to any payment under paragraph 4 ) ; and (d) the Buyer is compensated for the Liability for Tax under any other provision of this Agreement . 8. L IMITATIONS (a) The liability of the Seller under paragraph 4 will terminate on the fifth ( 5 th) anniversary of the Closing Date provided that the liability of the Seller under paragraph 4 , and under this Agreement, for fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful intent to evade tax, shall not be limited or excluded notwithstanding anything in this Agreement . (b) The Limitations on Claims as set out in Clause 9 of this Agreement shall not apply to any claims and payments in relation to Tax Covenants under this Schedule 7 . 9. R ECOVERY FROM THIRD PARTIES (a) Where the Seller has paid an amount under paragraph 4 for any Liability for Tax and the Buyer or Denselight recovers from some other person that is not the Buyer or Denselight any amount for any Liability for Tax, the Buyer shall or shall procure that Denselight shall account to the Seller for the lesser of : (ii) (i) any amount recovered (including any related interest or related repayment supplement) less any Tax suffered in respect of that amount and any costs and expenses incurred in recovering that amount ; and the amount paid by the Seller under paragraph 4 in respect of the Liability for Tax in question . (b) It has been Disclosed to the Buyer that Denselight has in its Accounts unabsorbed tax losses . To the best of the knowledge and information of Denselight and the Seller, it has been Disclosed to the Buyer that there is a possibility that the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore will deem these unabsorbed tax losses void and inapplicable if one of two conditions are not met : that the business of Denselight remains substantially the same and that there is no change of majority shareholders .



     


     



    



68 10. C ONDUCT OF  T AX  C LAIMS (a) Subject to paragraph 9 , if the Buyer becomes aware of a Tax Claim, the Buyer shall give or procure that notice in writing is given to the Seller as soon as reasonably practicable, provided that giving that notice shall not be a condition precedent to the Seller’s liability under this Tax Covenant . (b) If the Seller becomes aware of a Tax Claim, it shall notify the Buyer in writing as soon as reasonably practicable, and, on receipt of the notice, the Buyer shall be deemed to have given the Seller notice of the Tax Claim in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 10 (a) . (c) The Buyer will take into account any reasonable representations in relation to the Tax Claim that are made in writing by the Seller within ten Business Days of notice having been given (or deemed to have been given) under paragraph 10 (a) or 10 (b) but shall otherwise be free to pay or settle the Tax Claim on such terms as the Buyer, in its absolute discretion, considers fit . 11. G ROSSING  UP (a) All amounts due under this Tax Covenant from the Seller to the Buyer shall be paid in full without any set - off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax required by law) . If any deductions or withholdings are required by law to be made from any of the sums payable under this Tax Covenant, the Seller shall pay to the Buyer any sum as will, after the deduction or withholding is made, leave the Buyer with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive without that deduction or withholding . (b) If the Buyer incurs, or would have incurred, but for the use of a Relief, a Tax liability which results from, or is calculated by reference to, any sum paid under this Tax Covenant, the amount payable will be increased by any amount that will ensure that, after payment of the Tax liability, the Buyer is left with a net sum equal to the sum it would have received had no such Tax liability arisen . 12. G ENERAL All payments made by the Seller to the Buyer or by the Buyer to the Seller in accordance with this Tax Covenant will be treated, to the extent possible, as an adjustment to the Consideration for the Sale Shares .
