in any material respect, or that such party has failed to comply with or satisfy
in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement under this
Agreement (a "Disclosed Breach"), pursuant to this Section 8.4 or otherwise, the
parties hereby agree to use reasonable commercial efforts to negotiate in good
faith to resolve any claims prior to the Closing which one party may otherwise
be entitled to make against the other party after the Closing pursuant to

Buyer-Sub, terminate any MOS 17 Employee (which shall not include an employee's

Employees (except for any increases already planned and communicated to Buyer or
Buyer-Sub prior to the date hereof) prior to the Closing; and

                (vii) agree to commit to do any of the foregoing.

           (c)  Seller will not, nor will it authorize or permit any of its

negotiate in good faith to, obtain satisfactory amendments to the terms and
conditions of the Air Products Contracts from NAP and to assume the Air Products
Contracts from Seller in order to avoid payment of any termination fees by Buyer
or Seller. However, in the event that Buyer is unable to obtain satisfactory
amendments to the terms and conditions for the Air Products Contracts or does
not assume the Air Products Contracts from Seller, Seller and Buyer shall each
pay one half of the termination fees, if any, associated with the termination of
such contracts.

                                EMPLOYEE MATTERS

     9.1   Transferred Employees.

           (a)  Buyer shall, or shall cause Buyer-Sub to, offer employment to
all of the employees of Seller who work at the Facility prior to the Closing
Date and who are listed on Schedule 9.1(a)(1) ("MOS 17 PRC Employees") and
Schedule 9.1(a)(2) ("MOS 17 Expatriate Employees"). An offer of employment
extended by Buyer or Buyer-Sub to an employee in accordance with the preceding
sentence shall be (unless otherwise indicated, the following provisions are
applicable to MOS 17 PRC Employees and MOS 17 Expatriate Employees):

                                      -36-

<PAGE>

                (i)   for a position with job duties substantially similar to
the job duties of the position held by such employee with Motorola or Seller
immediately prior to the hire date;

                (ii)  For each MOS 17 PRC Employee, at the same or at a greater
annualized salary rate, including any applicable variable pay rate (e.g., shift
differential pay), as the employee is currently receiving from Seller, and this
annualized salary rate shall not be decreased for a period of at least one year
from the date the employee accepts employment with Buyer or Buyer-Sub; and

                (iii) For each MOS 17 Expatriate Employee, at an annualized
salary rate, including any applicable variable pay rate (e.g., shift
differential pay), substantially comparable to the salary of similarly situated
employees of Buyer or Buyer-Sub in positions with similar responsibilities, and
this annualized salary rate shall not be decreased for a period of at least one
year from the date the employee accepts employment with Buyer or Buyer-Sub;

                (iv)  with an incentive program or other additional compensation
which shall be substantially comparable or greater than such incentive program
or other additional compensation provided to similarly situated employees of
Buyer or Buyer-Sub in positions with similar responsibilities, provided that,
this clause (iv) does not apply to the employees listed on Schedule 9.1(a)(iv);
and

                (v)   with employee benefit plans and similar programs
(including for this purpose a holiday schedule) available to similarly situated
employees of Buyer or Buyer-Sub in positions with similar responsibilities.

           (b)  For any employee on Schedule 9.1(a)(1) or Schedule 9.1(a)(2) on
a leave of absence prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause
Buyer-Sub to, extend a conditional offer of employment as described in Section
9.1(a) above to each such person. The offer will be conditioned upon the
employee qualifying for a leave of absence with Buyer or Buyer-Sub. Any employee
on a leave of absence receiving an offer of employment with Buyer or Buyer-Sub
under this Section 9.1(b) and who cannot return to work on the Closing Date must
apply for a leave of absence under Buyer or Buyer-Sub's policies prior to the
Closing Date. Buyer or Buyer-Sub will determine whether to grant the request for
a leave of absence in accordance with its policies and applicable Law

           (c)  Other than as expressly provided in Section 2.9(b), Buyer shall
be or shall cause Buyer-Sub to be responsible for and shall be obligated to pay,
perform or otherwise assume or discharge any employment related liabilities,
including, without limitation, any employee benefits or compensation
arrangements or claims, credits, damages, liabilities or obligations arising
from, in connection with or relating to any individual's employment by Buyer or
Buyer-Sub, for periods beginning on or after the Closing Date. Without limiting
the foregoing sentence, Buyer and Buyer-Sub agree that they are responsible for
any liabilities arising from, in connection with, or relating to any
individual's employment by Buyer or Buyer-Sub.

           (d)  Seller shall be responsible for and shall be obligated to pay,
perform or otherwise assume or discharge any employment related liabilities,
including, without limitation, any employee benefits or compensation
arrangements or claims, credits, damages, liabilities or

                                      -37-

<PAGE>

obligations arising from, in connection with or relating to any Transferred
Employee's employment by Seller, for periods ending on the date immediately
prior to the Closing Date, including the liabilities set forth in Section
2.9(b). In addition to the foregoing, Seller shall pay all vacation days and
sick days of Transferred Employees accrued through the date immediately prior to
the Closing Date.

           (e)  Work Authorizations. Buyer shall, or shall cause Buyer-Sub to,
provide necessary assistance to the Transferred Employees to obtain for the
benefit of the Transferred Employees all required government approvals,
including but not limited to a valid Visa and any other required permit or
authorization, that will be required for the Transferred Employees to commence
work for Buyer or Buyer-Sub at the Facility.

           (f)  Continued Employment. Buyer shall ensure or shall cause
Buyer-Sub to ensure that Buyer or Buyer-Sub, as the case may be, does not
terminate any Transferred Employee (other than for (i) willful misconduct or
gross negligence which constitutes a serious violation of labor discipline or
the rules or regulations of Buyer or Buyer-Sub, (ii) commitment of a criminal
offense, or (iii) material performance deficiencies which remain uncorrected
after reasonable warning, training and post change/adjustment) or otherwise
alter their terms of employment (as described in Section 9.1(a) above) during
the first year after the Closing; provided, however, that if Buyer or Buyer-Sub
does terminate any Transferred Employee (other than for (1) willful misconduct
or gross negligence which constitutes a serious violation of labor discipline or
the rules or regulations of Buyer or Buyer-Sub, (2) commitment of a criminal
offense, or (3) material performance deficiencies which remain uncorrected after
reasonable warning, training and post change/adjustment) or requires the
Transferred Employee to relocate and the Transferred Employee refuses, in each
case, during the first year after the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause
Buyer-Sub to, pay the Transferred Employee severance equal to the amount
required by Law, plus the amount of salary the Transferred Employee would have
otherwise received from the date of termination through the first anniversary of
his or her hire date.

           (g)  Tuition Assistance to MOS 17 Expatriate Employees. Seller
currently provides assistance to MOS 17 Expatriate Employees for tuition
expenses for the children of these employees to attend private elementary and
secondary school. Buyer currently does not provide this benefit to its
employees. Seller agrees to continue this tuition assistance on a limited basis
for MOS 17 Expatriate Employees who become Transferred Employees. Seller will
pay the tuition for children of MOS 17 Expatriate Employees who become
Transferred Employees for a period of time (the "Tuition Assistance Period")
beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (i) one year
following the Closing Date or (ii) the date on which Buyer or Buyer-Sub
completes its initial public offering or (iii) with respect to any Transferred
Employee, the date of the employee's separation from employment with Buyer or
Buyer-Sub. In addition, Seller shall, at the request of Buyer prior to the
Closing, provide a payment to such Transferred Employees for the tax liability
incurred by such employees as a result of payments made pursuant to this Section
9.1(g). In no circumstance will the amount paid for tuition assistance and
payment for tax liability for the children of all employees pursuant to this
Section 9.1(g) exceed the aggregate amount of USD$500,000 (the "Maximum Tuition
Expense"). Buyer agrees that the amount Motorola will transfer to Buyer pursuant
to the Funding Letter Agreement will be reduced by the Maximum Tuition Expense.

     9.2   Temporary Assignment of Seller Employees to Buyer-Sub. Pursuant to
Section 9.1 above, Buyer or Buyer-Sub will make offers of employment to all MOS
17 Expatriate Employees. Buyer and Buyer-Sub recognize that not all of these
employees will accept its offers of employment. Buyer or Buyer-Sub may wish to
retain on a temporary basis the services of some of the MOS 17 Expatriate
Employees who do not accept Buyer or Buyer-Sub's offer of employment. To
facilitate this temporary assignment, Seller and Buyer agree to the following:

           (a)  As soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement,
Buyer or Buyer-Sub will provide to Seller a proposed list of all MOS 17
Expatriate Employees it wishes to engage on a temporary basis if the employees
do not accept Buyer or Buyer-Sub's offers of employment. The list shall contain
the names of the employees, and the length of assignment requested by Buyer or
Buyer-Sub. In no event will the length of assignment exceed six months from the
Closing Date. With respect to those employees on this list who have not accepted
employment with Buyer-Sub as of the Closing Date, Buyer or Buyer-Sub shall
identify those employees it would like to be seconded. Seller agrees to assign
such employees (the "Seconded Employee(s)") to Buyer or Buyer-Sub for a period
not to exceed the period indicated on the list.

           (b)  Buyer shall be, or shall cause Buyer-Sub to be, responsible for
all salary and benefit costs associated with the Seconded Employees during the
assignment. Buyer or Buyer-Sub will pay for these costs as follows: Seller will
continue to pay the salary and benefits of the Seconded Employees during the
period of the assignment. On or before the Closing Date, Seller will provide the
estimated costs of salary and benefits during the proposed assignment for each
Seconded Employee to Buyer and Buyer-Sub (the "Estimated Secondment Expense").
Buyer agrees that the amount Motorola will transfer to Buyer pursuant to the
Funding Letter Agreement will be reduced by the aggregate Estimated Secondment
Expense.

           (c)  Seller agrees not to terminate (which shall not include an
employee's voluntary separation or resignation) any Seconded Employee prior to
the end of the assignment agreed to by Seller without the advance written
consent of Buyer or Buyer-Sub. Buyer and Buyer-Sub acknowledge that any of the
Seconded Employees may choose to separate from employment with Seller
voluntarily prior to the end of the assignment period, and that Seller has no
control over that decision. The assignment of any Seconded Employee who
voluntarily separates from employment with Seller will end immediately. In this
circumstance, Seller will have no liability to Buyer or Buyer-Sub other than to
return the portion of any salary and benefit cost for that Seconded Employee for
the period from the date of separation through the end of the agreed to
assignment.

           (d)  On or before the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer or Buyer-Sub
will enter into a Secondment Agreement detailing and controlling the terms of
the assignment of the Seconded Employees (the "Secondment Agreement").

and the Transferred Expat Houses to Buyer-Sub and Buyer-Sub shall accept such
contribution promptly following receipt by Buyer of such Building and Land
Certificates.

     10.2  Records and Documents.

           (a)  On or after the Closing Date, Seller shall grant to Buyer and
its representatives, at Buyer's reasonable request, reasonable access to and the
right to make copies at Buyer's sole expense of those Documents and Records in
Seller's possession related to the Purchased Assets or the MOS 17 Operations and
covering any period prior to the Closing as may be reasonably necessary for the
purposes of facilitating Buyer's conduct of the MOS 17 Operations after the
Closing, litigation (other than litigation involving Seller (or its
Affiliates)), preparation of financial statements, Tax Returns and/or audits or
other valid business purposes; provided, however, that the disclosure of such
Documents and Records does not, or would not (i) result in the loss by Seller or
its Affiliates of the attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine or
any other judicially-recognized privilege, protection or immunity from
disclosure, (ii) require disclosure of any Tax Return of Seller or its
Affiliates, or (iii) result in the breach of any confidentiality obligation to
which Seller or any of its Affiliates is subject; provided, further, that in no
event shall the foregoing rights apply in connection with any claims, litigation
or other legal proceedings of Buyer (or its Affiliates) against Seller or its
Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.2,
Seller shall not be obligated to provide access to Documents and Records to
Buyer or its advisors or representatives in connection with Buyer's preparation
for an initial public offering pursuant to this Section 10.2, and Seller and
Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that any access to Documents and Records in
connection with Buyer's preparation for an initial public offering, if any,
shall be governed by the Financial Statements Letter Agreement. If Seller elects
to dispose of any such Documents and Records within six (6) years following the
Closing Date, Seller shall first give Buyer sixty (60) days written notice,
during which period Buyer shall have the right to take such Documents and
Records without further consideration. The parties hereby acknowledge that this
Section 10.2(a) shall not apply to any Documents and Records held by Motorola
(together with its Affiliates), in its capacity as a customer of the MOS 17
Operations.

           (b)  On or after the Closing Date, Buyer shall grant to Seller and
its representatives, at Seller's reasonable request, reasonable access to and
the right to make copies at Seller's sole expense of those Documents and Records
in Buyer's possession related to the Purchased Assets or the MOS 17 Operations
and covering any period prior to the Closing as may be reasonably necessary for
litigation (other than litigation involving Buyer (or its Affiliates)),
preparation of financial statements, Tax Returns and/or audits or other valid
business purposes; provided, however, that (i) the disclosure of such Documents
and Records does not, or would not (x) require disclosure of any Tax Return of
Buyer or its Affiliates, or (y) result in the breach of any confidentiality
obligation to which Buyer or any of its Affiliates is subject and (ii) with
respect to Documents and Records that are not Transferred Documents and Records,
the disclosure of such non-Transferred Documents and Records does not, or would
not result in the loss by Buyer or its Affiliates of the attorney-client
privilege, the work product doctrine or any other judicially-recognized
privilege, protection or immunity from disclosure; provided, further,

                                      -40-

<PAGE>

that in no event shall the foregoing rights apply in connection with any claims,
litigation or other legal proceedings of Seller (or its Affiliates) against
Buyer or its Affiliates. If Buyer elects to dispose of any such Documents and
Records within six (6) years following the Closing Date, Buyer shall first give
Seller sixty (60) days written notice, during which period Seller shall have the
right to take such Documents and Records without further consideration.

           (c)  The personnel files of all MOS 17 PRC Employees are maintained
at the TEDA Labor and Social Security Bureau. Seller will use reasonable
commercial efforts to work with Buyer or Buyer-Sub to attempt to transfer to
Buyer or Buyer-Sub on the Closing Date or as soon as reasonably possible
thereafter the files of all MOS 17 PRC Employees who become Transferred
Employees. For each MOS 17 Expatriate Employee who becomes a Transferred
Employee, Seller will provide Buyer or Buyer-Sub a copy of the employee's Human
Resources file maintained in the Motorola Solutions Center. Buyer or Buyer Sub
shall reimburse Seller for any costs associated with transferring the files
referenced above.

     10.3  Certain Export Matters. Buyer hereby acknowledges that the Purchased
Assets include commodities, software and technology exported from the United
States, which are subject to the United States export control Laws, including,
without limitation, the Export Administration Regulations, 15 C.F.R. Parts
730-774 (collectively, the "Export Regulations"). Buyer shall comply strictly
with all Export Regulations that are applicable to the Purchased Assets and
hereby specifically covenants and agrees that neither it nor Buyer-Sub shall
export, reexport, transfer, or disclose any of the Purchased Assets to any other
person, firm, corporation or other entity, or to any other country, except in
accordance with the Export Regulations and the terms and conditions of any
applicable license exception or export license issued thereunder.

     10.4  Environmental Permits. Buyer shall obtain any applicable Permits,
including environmental Permits, needed to transport, install or operate the
Tangible Assets or the Facility. Buyer shall, or Buyer shall cause Buyer-Sub to,
be responsible for compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws after Buyer
or Buyer-Sub, as the case may be, takes title to the Purchased Assets.

     10.5  Further Assurances. At any time from time to time after the Closing,
each of the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such other documents and
instruments, provide such materials and information, and take such other actions

Purchased Assets in Buyer, and to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

                    INDEMNITY AND SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS

under a breach of such covenants. Any claim for indemnification under Section
11.2(a)(i) or Section 11.2(b)(i) that is asserted by written notice as provided
in Section 11.3 within the survival period shall survive until resolved pursuant

           (a)  Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its

agreement of Buyer or Buyer-Sub contained in the Transaction Agreements, or
(iii) arising from the Assumed Liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller
may not seek indemnification under clause (iii) hereof to the extent that such

actions or inactions or willful misconduct.

           (b)  Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its
representatives, shareholders and Affiliates (collectively, "Buyer Indemnitees")
from, and will reimburse Buyer Indemnitees for and against, any Damages, (i)

inactions or willful misconduct. Damages shall be paid by Seller (A) at any time
prior to the IPO (as such term is defined in the Eighth Amended and Restated
Articles of Association), in shares of Series D Preference Shares (based on a
per share value equal to the per share Purchase Price set forth in the Series D

this Article 11, unless and until the aggregate amount of all Damages pursuant
to this Article 11 shall exceed USD$7,200,000 (the "Threshold Amount"), in which
event Buyer shall be entitled to recover all Damages including the Threshold
Amount. The maximum aggregate amount recoverable by Buyer from Seller with
respect to any claims relating to the Transaction Agreements or the transactions
contemplated thereby shall not exceed USD$100,800,000 (the "Cap Amount");
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Threshold

                                      -42-

<PAGE>

Amount nor the Cap Amount shall apply to any amount recoverable by Buyer

           (b)  Buyer shall not be required to make any payments pursuant to
this Article 11, unless and until the aggregate amount of all Damages pursuant
to this Article 11 shall exceed the Threshold Amount, in which event Seller
shall be entitled to recover all Damages including the Threshold Amount. The
maximum aggregate amount recoverable by Seller from Buyer with respect to any
claims relating to the Transaction Agreements or the transactions contemplated
thereby shall not exceed the Cap Amount; provided, however, that notwithstanding
the foregoing, neither the Threshold Amount nor the Cap Amount shall apply to
any amount recoverable by Seller pursuant to the indemnity set forth in Sections
11.2(a)(ii) or 11.2(a)(iii).

           (c)  The party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnified Party")
shall give written notice to the indemnifying party (the "Indemnifying Party")
of the facts and circumstances giving rise to any claim for indemnification as
soon as reasonably possible but in any event within thirty (30) days after it
obtains knowledge of the basis for a claim for indemnification hereunder;
provided, however, that failure to give such notice within thirty (30) days
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation
hereunder except to the extent of any Damages or liabilities caused by or
arising out of such failure. The Indemnified Party shall take all reasonable
steps to mitigate all indemnifiable liabilities and damages upon and after
becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to
any liabilities and damages that are indemnifiable hereunder. No party shall be
entitled to indemnification to the extent of any warranty or insurance coverage
or any tax benefit actually received as a result of the facts and circumstances
relating to any indemnifiable claim; provided, however, that any increase in
insurance premium or cost of collecting from an insurance company shall be
deemed an indemnifiable claim hereunder. If any Damages are covered by
insurance, the Indemnified Party shall use all reasonable commercial efforts to
recover the amount of such Damages from the insurer of the Indemnifying Party
which recovery shall reduce the amount of Damages hereunder.

           (d)  To the extent that either party discharges any claim for
indemnification hereunder, such party shall be subrogated to all rights of the
other party against third parties directly relating to such claim.

     11.4  Notice and Defense of Third Party Claims. With respect to each claim
by a third party which could give rise to an indemnification obligation under
this Article 11 (a "Third Party Claim"), the Indemnified Party shall give prompt
notice to the Indemnifying Party of the Third Party Claim; provided, however,
that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any
liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any Damages or
liabilities caused by or arising out of such failure. The Indemnifying Party
may, at its sole cost and expense, upon notice to the Indemnified Party within
thirty (30) days after the Indemnifying Party receives notice of the Third Party
Claim, assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, with counsel of its choice.
The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any
judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, unless (a) (i) the settlement or
judgment is solely for money damages, (ii) the settlement or judgment does not
seek an injunction or other equitable relief and (iii) there is no finding or
admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person,
or (b) the Indemnified Party consents in writing

                                      -43-

<PAGE>

thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying
Party shall provide the Indemnified Party with fifteen (15) days prior notice
before it consents to a settlement of, or the entry of a judgment arising from,
any Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in
the defense of (but not control) any Third Party Claim, the defense of which is
assumed by the Indemnifying Party, with its own counsel and at its own expense.
The parties shall cooperate in the defense of any Third Party Claim. If the
Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim or proceeding
resulting therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof, the Indemnified Party
may defend such claim or proceeding in a reasonable manner, including settling
such claim or proceeding on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem
appropriate after giving fifteen (15) days' notice of the same to the
Indemnifying Party and obtaining the written consent of the Indemnifying Party,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The party who has assumed the
defense of any such claim or proceeding shall keep the other party reasonably
informed, in writing, as to the defense of any such matter hereunder. All
parties hereto will cooperate in the defense or prosecution of claims involving
a third party and will furnish such records, information and testimony, and
attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as
may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

     11.5  Exclusivity of Remedy. After the Closing, the indemnification rights
provided hereunder shall be the exclusive remedy of Seller and Buyer and each of
their respective Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees,
stockholders, Affiliates, agents or representatives with respect to any dispute
arising out of or related to the Transaction Agreements.

                                   ARTICLE 12

                            TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

     12.1  Termination or Abandonment. Notwithstanding anything contained in
this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated and abandoned
at any time prior to the Closing:

           (a)  by the mutual written consent of Seller and Buyer; or

           (b)  by Seller or by Buyer if any court of competent jurisdiction or
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction shall have issued an Order or taken
any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Order or other action shall
have become final and non-appealable; or

           (c)  by Seller or by Buyer for any reason if the Closing has not
occurred by January 31, 2004, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by
Seller and Buyer, provided, that a party cannot terminate this Agreement under
this Section 12.1(c) if the failure of the Closing to occur is the result of the
action or inaction of such party to perform any of its obligations hereunder,
which principally causes the failure of the Closing to occur (except the failure
on the part of such party to satisfy a closing condition over which such party
has no control).

                                      -44-

<PAGE>

     12.2  Effect of Termination. If any party terminates this Agreement
pursuant to Section 12.1 above, all obligations of the parties hereunder shall
terminate without any liability of any party to any other party; provided,
however, that the provisions of Section 13.1 (Expenses), Section 13.3
(Nondisclosure and Publicity), Article 14 (Disputes), Section 15.1 (Limitation
on Liability), Section 15.2 (Governing Law) and Section 15.12 (Language) shall
survive termination of this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE 13

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

counsel, investment bankers or other representatives or consultants) in
connection with the preparation, execution and consummation of this Agreement
and with the transactions contemplated herein shall be paid by Seller; and all
of Buyer's such expenses in such connection shall be paid by Buyer. Seller
hereby agrees to pay costs and fees incurred in connection with the translation
of documents and Buyer hereby agrees to pay its own costs and fees incurred in
connection with the review of such translated documents.

           (b)  Each party shall be responsible for and shall pay when due such
Taxes resulting from or payable in connection with the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Agreements as are imposed upon such party by PRC Law.

           (c)  Seller and Buyer shall each pay one half of the costs associated
with (i) the preparation and filing of Buyer's feasibility study, (ii) land
surveys to be performed prior to the Closing by the parties in order to
effectuate the division of the real property rights between Seller and Buyer and
(iii) the establishment of Buyer-Sub; provided, however, that Seller shall not
in any case be obligated to pay any costs or fees of Buyer's legal counsel or
any other costs or fees described in this Section 13.1(c) in an amount, in the
aggregate, in excess of USD$30,000.

     13.2  Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have
been duly given to a party (a) when delivered, if delivered by hand or by

     13.3  Nondisclosure and Publicity.

           (a)  Without the prior written consent of the other party or except
as otherwise provided herein, neither Seller nor Buyer shall, and each of Seller
and Buyer shall cause its respective Affiliates, representatives, agents,
officers, directors and employees not to, distribute, disclose or provide access
to any of the other party's Confidential Information to any third party;
provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not include information
that (i) is or becomes known to the public without any violation of any written
agreement between the parties, (ii) becomes legally available on a
non-confidential basis from any third party, the disclosure of which does not
violate any contractual or legal obligation of such third party with respect to
such information, or (iii) can be shown to have been independently developed by
any person and which development does not violate any contractual or legal
obligation of such

                                      -46-

<PAGE>

person with respect to such information. In the event that (x) any party or any
such Affiliate, representative, agent, officer, director or employee becomes
legally compelled to disclose any Confidential Information, such party shall
provide the other party with prompt written notice of such requirement so that
the other party may seek a protective order or other remedy or waive compliance
with this section, or (y) such protective order or other remedy is not obtained,
or such waiver is given, if such party determines, upon the advice of counsel,
that it is required to disclose such Confidential Information, such party may
furnish only that portion of such Confidential Information which is legally
required to be provided and exercise its reasonable commercial efforts to obtain
assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential
Information.

           (b)  Except as required by Law, the parties agree to, and will cause
their respective Affiliates, representatives, agents, officers, directors and
employees to, not disclose the terms and provisions of the Transaction
Agreements, the Long-Term Services Agreement, the Guaranty, the Funding Letter
Agreement and the Equity Agreements, including the exhibits and schedules
thereto, to any other person, except (i) for disclosures to their respective
advisors and representatives who need to be aware of the foregoing in order to
effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the
initial public offering of Buyer or (ii) upon the prior written consent of the
other party.

           (c)  Except as required by Law, neither party shall issue any press
release or make any other public disclosure (including disclosure to public
officials) with respect to the Transaction Agreements, the Long-Term Services
Agreement, the Guaranty, the Funding Letter Agreement and the Equity Agreements,
including the exhibits and schedules thereto, or the transactions contemplated
thereby, without the prior consent of the other party; provided, however, that
either party may, if considered necessary by its counsel to fulfill its
obligations as a publicly traded corporation, respond to inquiries and issue
such releases as it considers necessary and appropriate, if it (i) notifies the
other party in advance of the substance of such proposed response or proposed
release, (ii) gives such party reasonable opportunity for comment prior to such
response or release and (iii) if so requested by such party in connection with
any disclosure to any Governmental Authority, uses reasonable commercial efforts
to obtain confidential treatment (or any comparable standard of foreign
regulators, to the extent applicable) of the information to be disclosed.

           (d)  Upon the request of the other party, each party hereby agrees to
return or destroy, or cause to be returned or destroyed, all documents, records,
notes, correspondence or analyses (including all copies thereof) containing any
Confidential Information in its possession or in the possession of its
Affiliates, representatives, agents, officers, directors and employees, provided
to it in the course of evaluating the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or otherwise. Such return or destruction shall be certified in writing
to each party by an authorized officer of the other party. Such return or
destruction, however, does not abrogate the continuing obligations of the
parties under this Agreement.

           (e)  The Nondisclosure Agreement shall terminate as of the Closing.

           (f)  The obligations of each of the parties hereto to comply with the
provisions contained herein shall continue for a period of three years
commencing on the Closing Date.

                                      -47-

     13.4  Risk of Loss. Any risk of loss or damage to the Purchased Assets will
be borne by Seller until the Closing at which time all risk of loss and title
thereto will pass to Buyer, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE 14

                                    DISPUTES

     14.1  Amicable Resolution. Seller, Buyer, Motorola and Buyer-Sub mutually
desire that friendly collaboration will develop between themselves. Accordingly,
they shall try to resolve in a friendly manner all disagreements and
misunderstandings connected with their respective rights and obligations under
the Transaction Agreements, including any amendments thereto.

     14.2  Consultation. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or
relating to any Transaction Agreement, or the performance, interpretation,
breach, termination or validity thereof (including the validity, scope and
enforceability of this arbitration provision) (a "Dispute"), shall be resolved
through friendly consultation. Such consultation shall begin immediately after
one party hereto has delivered to the other party hereto a written request for
such consultation stating specifically the nature of the Dispute. All
communications made pursuant to this Section 14.2 shall be treated as
communications for the purpose of settlement and as such shall be deemed to be
confidential and inadmissible in any subsequent arbitration or litigation.

     14.3  Arbitration. If the Dispute cannot be resolved within thirty (30)
days following the date on which such written request is given under Section
14.2, the Dispute may be submitted to arbitration upon the request of either
party hereto and shall be finally resolved by an arbitral tribunal (the
"Tribunal") under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of
Commerce (the "ICC") as are in force at the time of any such arbitration (the
"Rules") and as may be amended by the rest of this Section 14.3. The Tribunal
shall consist of three arbitrators appointed in accordance with the Rules,
except as otherwise provided below. Seller and Buyer shall each nominate one
arbitrator, obtain its nominee's acceptance of such nomination and deliver
written notification of such nomination to the other party hereto within thirty
(30) days after the date of delivery of the request to initiate arbitration. In
the event that a party hereto fails to nominate an arbitrator or deliver
notification of such nomination to the other party hereto within such time
period, upon the request of the other party hereto, such arbitrator shall
instead be appointed by the International Court of Arbitration of the ICC within
thirty (30) days after receiving such request. The two arbitrators nominated in
accordance with the above provisions shall appoint the third arbitrator, obtain
the appointee's acceptance of such appointment and notify the parties in writing
of such appointment and acceptance within thirty (30) days after the date of
nomination of the second arbitrator to be appointed. If the first two
arbitrators fail to appoint a third arbitrator or notify the parties of that
appointment within this time period, then upon the request of either party, the
third arbitrator shall be appointed by the International Court of Arbitration of
the ICC within thirty (30) days after receiving such request. The third
arbitrator shall serve as chairman of the Tribunal.

                                      -48-

<PAGE>

     14.4  Arbitral Proceedings. The place of arbitration shall be Singapore.
All arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in the English language. The
arbitrators shall decide any Dispute strictly in accordance with the governing
law specified in Section 15.2. Judgment upon any arbitral award rendered
hereunder may be entered in any court having jurisdiction, or application may be
made to such court for a judicial acceptance of the award and an order of
enforcement, as the case may be.

     14.5  Arbitration Expenses. The costs and expenses of the arbitration,
including, without limitation, the fees of the Tribunal, shall be borne equally
by the parties, and each party shall pay its own fees, disbursements and other
charges of its counsel.

     14.6  Binding Award. Any award made by the Tribunal shall be final and
binding on each of the parties. The parties expressly agree to waive the
applicability of any Laws and regulations that would otherwise give the right to
appeal the decisions of the Tribunal so that there shall be no appeal to any
court of law for the award of the Tribunal, and a party shall not challenge or
resist the enforcement action taken by the other party in whose favor an award
of the Tribunal was given.

     14.7  Service of Process. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of
process, notices or other paper in connection with or in any way arising from
the arbitration or the enforcement of any arbitral award, by use of any of the
methods and to the addresses for the giving of notices set forth in Section
13.2. Nothing contained herein shall affect the right of any party to serve such
processes, notices or other papers in any other manner permitted by applicable
Laws.

     14.8  Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that any party has or may hereafter
acquire immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from legal process with
respect to itself or its property, on the grounds of sovereign immunity or
otherwise, such party hereby irrevocably waives such immunity, to the fullest
extent permitted by Law, in respect of its obligations under the Transaction
Agreements.

     14.9  Equitable Relief. The parties hereto agree that certain of the
services provided under the Transaction Agreements are unique and that
irreparable damage may occur in the event that the transactions contemplated by
the Transaction Agreements shall not be consummated or in the event that any
provisions of the Transaction Agreements shall not be performed in accordance
with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, it is agreed
that each party hereto may be entitled to seek an injunction to enforce
specifically the terms and provisions of the Transaction Agreements, this being
in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at Law or
equity.

                                   ARTICLE 15

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

     15.1  Limitation on Liability. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS
AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
INDIRECT, COLLATERAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES

                                      -49-

IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIMS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, OR INJURIES ARISING OUT OF THE
CONDUCT OF THE PARTIES PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT.

     15.2  Governing Law. The execution, validity and performance of and
resolution of disputes under this Agreement are governed by the officially
published and publicly available Laws of the PRC. When the officially published
and publicly available Laws of the PRC do not cover a certain matter,
international legal principles and practices shall apply. The parties
specifically disclaim the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods.

     15.3  Entire Agreement; Amendment. The Transaction Agreements, and all
agreements executed on the date hereof or concurrently with the Closing between
Seller, Buyer and their respective Affiliates, if applicable, together with all
exhibits and schedules thereto, constitute the entire understanding of the
parties hereto, superseding all prior agreements or understandings relating to
any of the subject matters hereof (including, without limitation, the Term Sheet
between Motorola and Buyer). No modification or amendment of the terms and
conditions of the Transaction Agreements shall be effective unless in writing
and signed by the parties or their respective duly authorized agents.

     15.4  Successors and Assigns. This Agreement inures to the benefit of, and
is binding upon, the successors, permitted assigns, distributees and personal
representatives of the parties hereto. Neither party may assign its rights or
obligations under the Transaction Agreements without the express written consent
of the other party.

     15.5  Headings. This Agreement shall not be interpreted by reference to any
of the titles or headings to the sections or paragraphs of this Agreement, which
have been inserted for convenience purposes only and are not deemed a part
hereof.

schedules and exhibits hereto, which are made a part hereof by this reference
thereto.

     15.7  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, including counterparts transmitted by facsimile or electronic
transmission, all of which together shall be deemed to constitute one and the
same instrument.

     15.8  Gender and Number. This Agreement shall be construed by the actual
gender and/or number of the person, persons, entity and/or entities referenced
herein, regardless of the gender and/or number used in such reference.

     15.9  Severability. This Agreement shall be fully enforceable and effective
as to the parties hereto as to its remaining provisions in the event any
provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

     15.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any
rights or remedies on any person other than the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns.

                                      -50-

     15.11 No Waiver. Any failure or delay on the part of either party in the
exercise of any right or privilege hereunder shall not operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or privilege
preclude other or further exercise thereof or any other right or privilege.

     15.12 Language. This Agreement is composed in English and Chinese. The
English version of this Agreement shall be the valid, binding, superceding and
governing version in the event that there is a dispute with respect to the
