SECTION 10
 MISCELLANEOUS

 

10.1.                     Binding Effect; Assignment.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall be enforceable by each Party hereto, its successors and permitted assigns.  The Investor shall have the right to assign all or part of its rights under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, no Party hereto may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other Parties hereto.

 

10.2.                     Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of New York.

 

10.3.                     Dispute Resolution.

 

(a)           Any dispute, controversy or claim (each, a “Dispute”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the interpretation, breach, termination or validity thereof, shall first be subject to resolution through consultation of the parties to such dispute, controversy or claim.  Such consultation shall begin within seven days after one party to the dispute has delivered to the other party a written request for such consultation.  If within thirty days following the commencement of such consultation the Dispute cannot be resolved, the Dispute shall be referred to arbitration upon the demand of either party to the dispute with notice (the “Arbitration Notice”) to the other.

 

(b)           The Dispute shall be settled by arbitration in Hong Kong under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules in effect at the time of the commencement of the arbitration.  The arbitration shall be administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “Centre” or “HKIAC”) in accordance with the HKIAC Procedures for the Administration of 

 

43

 

International Arbitration in effect at the time of the commencement of the arbitration.  There shall be three arbitrators.  Each party to the Dispute shall choose one arbitrator.  The Secretary General of the Centre shall select the third arbitrator, who shall be qualified to practice law in Hong Kong.  If any of the members of the arbitral tribunal has not been appointed within thirty days after the Arbitration Notice is given, the relevant appointment shall be made by the Secretary General of the Centre.

 

(c)            The arbitral proceedings shall be conducted in English.  To the extent that the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules or HKIAC Procedures for the Administration of International Arbitration are in conflict with the provisions of this Section 10.3, including the provisions concerning the appointment of the arbitrators, the provisions of this Section 10.3 shall prevail.

 

(d)           Each party to the arbitration shall cooperate with each other party to the arbitration in making full disclosure of and providing complete access to all information and documents requested by such other party in connection with such arbitral proceedings, subject only to any confidentiality obligations binding on such party.

 

(e)            The award of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding upon the parties, and the prevailing party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award.

 

(f)             The arbitral tribunal shall decide any Dispute submitted by the parties to the arbitration strictly in accordance with the substantive Law of Hong Kong and shall not apply any other substantive law.

 

(g)            Any party to the Dispute shall be entitled to seek preliminary injunctive relief, if possible, from any court of competent jurisdiction pending the constitution of the arbitral tribunal.

 

(h)           During the course of the arbitral tribunal’s adjudication of the Dispute, this Agreement shall continue to be performed except with respect to the part in dispute and under adjudication.

 

10.4.                     Language.  This Agreement has been executed in English language only.  Any translation of this Agreement into another language shall have no interpretive effect.  All documents or notices to be delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall be in the English language or, if any such document or notice is not in the English language, accompanied by an English translation thereof, and the English language version of any such document or notice shall control for purposes thereof.

 

10.5.                     Amendments.  Except as otherwise permitted herein, this Agreement and its provisions may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by a writing signed by each of the Company, the Warrantors and the Investor.

 

44

 

10.6.                     Notices.  Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties hereto, all notices, claims, certificates, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be made in writing and shall be delivered to any Party hereto by hand or sent by facsimile, or sent, postage prepaid, by reputable overnight courier services at the address given for such Party on Schedule V, and shall be deemed given when so delivered by hand, or if sent by facsimile, upon receipt of a confirmed transmittal receipt, or if sent by overnight courier, five calendar days after delivery to or pickup by the overnight courier service.

 

10.7.                     Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior written or oral understandings or agreements.

 

10.8.                     Survival of Warranties.  The warranties and representations of the Warrantors contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing.  All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Warrantors pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of the Warrantors under this Agreement.  The warranties and representations of the Warrantors or the Investor shall in no way be affected by any investigation of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of any of the Parties hereto.

 

10.9.                     Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid, legal, and enforceable under all Applicable Laws.  If, however, any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under any such Applicable Laws in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such Law, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality, or limitation on enforceability without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement, or the validity, legality, or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction

 

10.10.              Remedies Cumulative.  The rights and remedies available under this Agreement or otherwise available shall be cumulative with and in addition to all other rights and remedies and may be exercised successively.

 

10.11.              Counterpart Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

10.12.              No Third Party Beneficiary.  Except to the extent expressly stated otherwise, nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer upon any Person other than the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, benefits, or obligations hereunder.

 

10.13.              Knowledge.  In this Agreement, any reference to a Person’s “knowledge” means the actual knowledge of such Person and that knowledge which should have been acquired by such Person after making such due inquiry and exercising such due

 

45

 

diligence as a prudent business person would have made or exercised in the management of his or her business affairs, including due inquiry of those officers, directors, key employees and professional advisers (including attorneys, accountants and consultants) of the Person and its Affiliates who could reasonably be expected to have knowledge of the matters in question.

 

10.14.              Costs and Expenses.  At the Closing, the Company shall reimburse the Investor for all its reasonable costs and expenses, including without limitation, the legal, accounting, brokerage, consulting expenses in connection with the due diligence, negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of the Principal Agreements and the transactions contemplated by the Principal Agreements (the “Expenses”), provided however that if the Closing fails to occur prior to the Long-Stop Date (i) for any reasons that may be attributable to the Warrantors, or (ii) because there exist material negative differences between the findings of the due diligence made by the Investor and the information disclosed by the Warrantors, the Company shall reimburse all Expenses incurred by the Investor within thirty (30) business days upon the demand of the Investor.

 

10.15.              Rules of Construction.  Each Party agrees that it or he or she has been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.

 

10.16.              No Waiver.  Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions hereof will not be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant, or condition, nor will any waiver or relinquishment of, or failure to insist upon strict compliance with, any right, power or remedy power hereunder at any one or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such right, power or remedy at any other time or times.
