(a)                   Each of the Warrantors hereby agrees to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Investors, and the Investors’ employees, Affiliates, agents and assigns, from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses suffered by the Investors, or the Investors’ employees, Affiliates, agents and assigns, as a result of, or based upon or arising from any breach or nonperformance of any of the certificates, representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made or given by the Warrantors in or pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

 

(b)                   The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investors and the Investors’ employees, Affiliates, agents and assigns, from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses suffered by the Investors or the Investors’ employees, Affiliates, agents and assigns, arising from any claims by any third party (including but not limited to any other shareholder of the Company Group or any other potential investor) as a result of any of the transactions or acts contemplated under any of the Transaction Documents to the broadest extent permitted by applicable law.

 

(c)                    Except in cases involving fraud or intentional misconduct of any Warrantor, (i) the Warrantor shall not be liable in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss unless the amount, when aggregated with any other amount or amounts recoverable in respect of other Indemnifiable Loss, exceeds US$300,000, and in the event that the aggregate amount exceeds US$300,000, the Warrantor shall be liable for the full amount of all Indemnifiable Loss, (ii) the aggregate amount of Indemnifiable Loss the Warrantors (other than the Founder) shall be liable for under this Agreement shall in no event be greater than the amount of investment made by the Indemnified Party in the Company plus a compound annual interest of 6%, (iii) the aggregate amount of Indemnifiable Loss the Founder shall be liable for under this Agreement shall in no event exceed the value of the Common Shares held or acquired after the date hereof by the Founder where the value of each Common Share (the “Indemnity Value”) is deemed to be the lesser of (x) the price paid by the Investor for each Purchase Share hereunder (as adjusted for share splits, combinations, recapitalizations, reclassifications and other similar transactions); and (y) the fair market value of a Common Share as of the date of the Initial Claim or First Claim, and (iv) to the extent the Founder is liable for any Indemnifiable Loss hereunder, the Founder may, in his sole discretion, satisfy such liability by either paying the applicable amount in cash to the Indemnified Party (as defined below) or surrendering to the Indemnified Party such number of Common Shares as have an aggregate Indemnity Value equal to the applicable amount. By way of clarification but not limitation, except in case involving fraud or intentional misconduct of the Founder, no other of any Founder’ assets shall in any respect be used to satisfy any of such Founder’s indemnity obligation contemplated hereunder.

 

24

 

(d)                   Any Party seeking indemnification with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the party or parties required to provide indemnity hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”).

 

(e)                    If any claim, demand or Liability is asserted by any third party against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall upon the written request of the Indemnified Party, defend any actions or proceedings brought against the Indemnified Party in respect of matters embraced by the indemnity under this Section 8.3. If, after a request to defend any action or proceeding, the Indemnifying Party neglects to defend the Indemnified Party, a recovery against the Indemnified Party suffered by it in good faith shall be conclusive in its favor against the Indemnifying Party, provided, however, that, if the Indemnifying Party has not received reasonable notice of the action or proceeding against the Indemnified Party or is not allowed to control its defense, judgment against the Indemnified Party shall only constitute presumptive evidence against the Indemnifying Party.

 

(f)                     This Section 8.3 shall not be deemed to preclude or otherwise limit in any way the exercise of any other rights or pursuit of other remedies for the breach of this Agreement or with respect to any misrepresentation.

If, following receipt of such notice, a claim for indemnification is made in writing by the Investors against any Warrantor on the basis of underlying acts or omissions that are substantially the same as those of the Initial Claim (any such claim by the Investors being a “Series E Claim”), then the Series E Claim and the Initial Claim shall rank on a pari passu basis.

 

(h)                   Without limiting Section 8.3(f) above, if a claim for indemnification (a “First Claim”) is made against any Warrantor (whether under this Section 8.3 or otherwise) by the Investors (the “Series E Claimant”) and, separately, by any other existing Shareholder (the “Second Claim”) in circumstances where the underlying acts or omissions that are relevant in the First Claim are substantially the same as those of the Second Claim, then the First Claim and the Second Claim shall rank on a pari passu basis.

 

(i)                       For the purposes of this Section 8.3, the Indemnifiable Losses of an Indemnified Party shall include a quantifiable diminution in the value of any member of the Company Group (to the extent only that such diminution in value has not been made good by recovery under any claim against a third party) arising out of a matter the subject of the indemnities in Sections 8.3(a) and/or (b) (the “Relevant Diminution”), which diminution shall be deemed to be an Indemnifiable Loss of the relevant Indemnified Party of an amount equal to a percentage of the amount of the Relevant Diminution that is equal to the percentage interest of that Indemnified Party in the share capital of the Company (on an as-converted basis).

(c)                    The Dispute shall be settled by arbitration in Hong Kong by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “HKIAC”) in accordance with the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre Administered Arbitration Rules (the “HKIAC Rules”) in force when the Dispute is submitted in accordance with the HKIAC Rules. There shall be one (1) arbitrator. The HKIAC Council shall select the arbitrator, who shall be qualified to practice law in Hong Kong.

 

(d)                   The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English. If the HKIAC Rules are in conflict with the provisions of this Section 8.6, including the provisions concerning the appointment of arbitrators, the provisions of this Section 8.6 shall prevail.

 

(e)                    The arbitrator shall decide any dispute submitted by the parties to the arbitration tribunal strictly in accordance with the substantive Law of Hong Kong and shall not apply any other substantive Law.

 

(f)                     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.

Such application shall be made as soon as practicable and the party making such application shall give notice to the other parties to the arbitrations.

 

26

 

(ii)                         The Principal Tribunal shall be empowered to (but shall not be obliged to) order at its discretion, after inviting written (and where desired oral) representations from the parties that all or any of such arbitrations shall be consolidated or heard together and/or that the arbitrations be heard immediately after another and shall establish a procedure accordingly. All parties shall take such steps as are necessary to give effect and force to any orders of the Principal Tribunal.

 

(iii)                      If the Principal Tribunal makes an order for consolidation, it: (1) shall thereafter, to the exclusion of other arbitral tribunals, have jurisdiction to resolve all disputes forming part of the consolidation order; (2) shall order that notice of the consolidation order and its effect be given immediately to any arbitrators already appointed in relation to the disputes that were consolidated under the consolidation order; and (3) may also give such directions as it considers appropriate (i) to give effect to the consolidation and make provision for any costs which may result from it (including costs in any arbitration rendered functus officio under this Section 8.6); and (ii) to ensure the proper organization of the arbitration proceedings and that all the issues between the parties are properly formulated and resolved.

 

(iv)                     Upon the making of the consolidation order, any appointment of arbitrators relating to arbitrations that have been consolidated by the Principal Tribunal (except for the appointment of the arbitrators of the Principal Tribunal itself) shall for all purposes cease to have effect and such arbitrators are deemed to be functus officio, on and from the date of the consolidation order. Such cessation is without prejudice to (1) the validity of any acts done or orders made by such arbitrators before termination, (2) such arbitrators’ entitlement to be paid their proper fees and disbursements and (3) the date when any claim or defense was raised for the purpose of applying any limitation period or any like rule or provision.

 

(v)                        The Parties hereby waive any objections they may have as to the validity and/or enforcement of any arbitral awards made by the Principal Tribunal following the consolidation of disputes or arbitral proceedings in accordance with this Section 8.6 where such objections are based solely on the fact that consolidation of the same has occurred.

 

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

 

(i)                                     The award of the arbitration 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.

 

8.6                               Notices. Any notice required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be given either personally or by sending it by next-day or second-day courier service, fax, electronic mail or similar means to the address as shown below the signature of such Party on the signature page of this Agreement (or at such other address as such Party may designate by fifteen (15) days’ advance written notice to the other Parties to this Agreement given in accordance with this Section 8.6). Where a notice is sent by next-day or second-day courier service, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing, pre-paying and sending by next-day or second-day service through an internationally-recognized courier a letter

 

27

 

containing the notice, with a confirmation of delivery, and to have been effected at the expiration of two (2) days after the letter containing the same is sent as aforesaid. Where a notice is sent by fax or electronic mail, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing, and sending such notice through a transmitting organization, with a written confirmation of delivery, and to have been effected on the day the same is sent as aforesaid.

 

8.7                               Fees and Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse all reasonable costs and expense incurred to be incurred by the Investors, up to a maximum of US$60,000 for Ctrip, which shall include all expenses and costs, including out-of-pocket expenses and third party consulting or advisory expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, each Party hereto shall pay all of its own Taxes, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

 

8.8                               Finder’s Fee.

 

(a)                                 Each of the Warrantors and the Investors represents that it neither is nor will be obligated for any finder’s fee or commission in connection with this transaction, except as disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule.

 

(b)                                 The Investors agree to indemnify and to hold harmless the Company from any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a finder’s fee (and the costs and expenses of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which the Investors or any of their officers, partners, employees or representatives is responsible. Each Warrantor agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless the Investors from any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a finder’s fee (and the costs and expenses of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which such Warrantor or any of its officers, employees or representatives is responsible and is not disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule.

 

8.9                               Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable Law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

8.10                        Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Investors. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each of the Parties hereto.

 

8.11                        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.

 

28

 

8.12                        Rights Cumulative. Each and all of the various rights, powers and remedies of a party hereto will be considered to be cumulative with and in addition to any other rights, powers and remedies which such Party may have at law or in equity in the event of the breach of any of the terms of this Agreement. The exercise or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy will neither constitute the exclusive election thereof nor the waiver of any other right, power or remedy available to such Party.

 

8.13                        Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any Party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other Party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting Party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any Party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by Law or otherwise afforded to any Party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

 

8.14                        No Presumption. The Parties acknowledge that any applicable Law that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the Party that drafted it has no application and is expressly waived. If any claim is made by a Party relating to any conflict, omission or ambiguity in the provisions of this Agreement, no presumption or burden of proof or persuasion will be implied because this Agreement was prepared by or at the request of any Party or its counsel.

 

8.15                        Headings and Subtitles; Interpretation. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. Unless a provision hereof expressly provides otherwise: (a) the term “or” is not exclusive; (b) words in the singular include the plural, and words in the plural include the singular; (c) the terms “herein”, “hereof”, and other similar words refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, clause, or other subdivision; (d) the term “including” will be deemed to be followed by, “but not limited to”, (e) the masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will each be deemed to include the others; (f) the terms “shall”, “will”, and “agrees” are mandatory, and the term “may” is permissive; (g) the term “day” means “calendar day”, and (h) all references to dollars or to “US$” are to currency of the United States of America (and shall be deemed to include reference to the equivalent amount in other currencies).

 

8.16                        Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile and e-mailed copies of signatures shall be deemed to be originals for purposes of the effectiveness of this Agreement.

 

8.17                        No Commitment for Additional Financing. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investors have not made any representation, undertaking, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing, investment or other

 

29

 

financial assistance, other than the purchase of the Purchased Securities as set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein. In addition, the Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) no statements, whether written or oral, made by the Investors or their representatives prior to, on or after the date of this Agreement shall create an obligation, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing or investment, (b) the Company shall not rely on any such statement by the Investors or their representatives and (c) an obligation, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any other financing or investment may only be created by a written agreement, signed by the Investors and the Company, setting forth the terms and conditions of such financing or investment and stating that the parties intend for such writing to be a binding obligation or agreement. The Investors shall have the right, in their sole and absolute discretion, to refuse or decline to participate in any other financing of or investment in the Company, and shall have no obligation to assist or cooperate with the Company in obtaining any financing, investment or other financial assistance.

 

8.18                        Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents, together with all schedules and exhibits hereto and thereto, constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and no Party shall be liable or bound to any other Party in any manner by any warranties, representations, or covenants except as specifically set forth herein or therein. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall be deemed to terminate and supersede the provisions of the Term Sheet and any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement, or any other agreement executed between the Investors and the Company prior to the date of this Agreement, none of which agreements, including the Term Sheet, shall continue.

 

8.19                        Conflict with Articles. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Amended Articles, as between the parties to this Agreement the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. The parties agree to use their best endeavors to take such steps and, without limitation to the generality of the foregoing, to exercise the voting rights in respect of all shares of the Company held by them and to amend the Amended Articles in such manner as the Company is advised by its Cayman Islands counsel will remove any such conflict and give effect to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

8.20                        Exclusivity. During the period from the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing Date or December 23, 2013 (the “No Negotiation Period”), other than discussions with the Investors regarding the transactions contemplated hereby or in connection with a Qualified IPO, none of the Company Group members and the Founder shall, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, agent or otherwise, make, solicit, initiate or encourage submission of any proposal or offer from any Person (including any of its officers or employees) relating to any acquisition of any equity securities in or material assets of the Company Group (a “Transaction Proposal”). Each member of the Company Group and the Founder shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated all ongoing contacts or negotiations, if any, with respect to any Transaction Proposal. During the No Negotiation Period, each member of the Company Group and the Founder shall promptly notify the Investors if any Transaction Proposal, or any inquiry or contact with any Person with respect thereto, is made and shall promptly provide the Investors with such information regarding such Transaction Proposal, inquiry or contact as the Investors may request.

22

 

(b)                                 The representations and warranties set forth under Schedule D and any covenants and agreements of the Founder and the Company Group members contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive after the Closing until the earlier of the occurrence of Qualified IPO or a Liquidation Event (as defined in the Amended Articles) and such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall in no way be affected by any due diligence or investigation of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Investors or any other Party hereto and any facts which are known to the Investors at the time of this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Subject to Section 8.1(b) above, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(a) above, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void, and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of the Company or the Investors (or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or other Representatives or Affiliates) under this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except that such termination shall not relieve any breaching party from liability hereunder from breach of any representation or warranty contained herein or any breach of any covenant or agreement contained herein.

 

8.2                               Successors and Assigns.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the Parties hereto whose rights or obligations hereunder are affected by such terms and conditions.

8.3                               Indemnity.

 

(a)                                 Each of the Warrantors hereby agrees to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Investors, and the Investors’ employees, Affiliates, agents and assigns, from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses suffered by the Investors, or the Investors’ employees, Affiliates, agents and assigns, as a result of, or based upon or arising from any breach or nonperformance of any of the certificates, representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made or given by the Warrantors in or pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

 

(b)                                 The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investors and the Investors’ employees, Affiliates, agents and assigns, from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses suffered by the Investors or the Investors’ employees, Affiliates, agents and assigns, arising from any claims by any third party (including but not limited to any other shareholder of the Company Group or any other potential investor) as a result of any of the transactions or acts contemplated under any of the Transaction Documents to the broadest extent permitted by applicable law.

 

(c)                                  Except in cases involving fraud or intentional misconduct of any Warrantor, (i) the Warrantor shall not be liable in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss unless the

 

23

 

amount, when aggregated with any other amount or amounts recoverable in respect of other Indemnifiable Loss, exceeds US$300,000, and in the event that the aggregate amount exceeds US$300,000, the Warrantor shall be liable for the full amount of all Indemnifiable Loss, (ii) the aggregate amount of Indemnifiable Loss the Warrantors (other than the Founder) shall be liable for under this Agreement shall in no event be greater than the amount of investment made by the Indemnified Party in the Company plus a compound annual interest of 6%, (iii) the aggregate amount of Indemnifiable Loss the Founder shall be liable for under this Agreement shall in no event exceed the value of the Common Shares held or acquired after the date hereof by the Founder where the value of each Common Share (the “Indemnity Value”) is deemed to be the lesser of (x) the price paid by the Investor for each Purchase Share hereunder (as adjusted for share splits, combinations, recapitalizations, reclassifications and other similar transactions); and (y) the fair market value of a Common Share as of the date of the Initial Claim or First Claim, and (iv) to the extent the Founder is liable for any Indemnifiable Loss hereunder, the Founder may, in his sole discretion, satisfy such liability by either paying the applicable amount in cash to the Indemnified Party (as defined below) or surrendering to the Indemnified Party such number of Common Shares as have an aggregate Indemnity Value equal to the applicable amount.  By way of clarification but not limitation, except in case involving fraud or intentional misconduct of the Founder, no other of any Founder’ assets shall in any respect be used to satisfy any of such Founder’s indemnity obligation contemplated hereunder.

 

(d)                                 Any Party seeking indemnification with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the party or parties required to provide indemnity hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”).

 

(e)                                  If any claim, demand or Liability is asserted by any third party against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall upon the written request of the Indemnified Party, defend any actions or proceedings brought against the Indemnified Party in respect of matters embraced by the indemnity under this Section 8.3.  If, after a request to defend any action or proceeding, the Indemnifying Party neglects to defend the Indemnified Party, a recovery against the Indemnified Party suffered by it in good faith shall be conclusive in its favor against the Indemnifying Party, provided, however, that, if the Indemnifying Party has not received reasonable notice of the action or proceeding against the Indemnified Party or is not allowed to control its defense, judgment against the Indemnified Party shall only constitute presumptive evidence against the Indemnifying Party.

 

(f)                                   This Section 8.3 shall not be deemed to preclude or otherwise limit in any way the exercise of any other rights or pursuit of other remedies for the breach of this Agreement or with respect to any misrepresentation.

 

(g)                                  If a claim for indemnification (an “Initial Claim”) is made in writing against any Warrantor (whether under this Section 8.3 or otherwise) by any person that is a Series A Investor, a Series B Investor, a Series C Investor, Series D Investor or any other existing Shareholder (any such person a “Claimant”), that person (and the Company) shall promptly give notice of the Initial Claim to the Investor (and no Initial Claim may be pursued against any Warrantor unless and until such notice has been properly given by the Claimant).  If, following receipt of such notice, a claim for indemnification is made in writing by the Investors against any Warrantor on the basis of underlying acts or omissions that are substantially the same as those of

 

24

 

the Initial Claim (any such claim by the Investors being a “Series E Claim”), then the Series E Claim and the Initial Claim shall rank on a pari passu basis.

 

(h)                                 Without limiting Section 8.3(f) above, if a claim for indemnification (a “First Claim”) is made against any Warrantor (whether under this Section 8.3 or otherwise) by the Investors (the “Series E Claimant”) and, separately, by any other existing Shareholder (the “Second Claim”) in circumstances where the underlying acts or omissions that are relevant in the First Claim are substantially the same as those of the Second Claim, then the First Claim and the Second Claim shall rank on a pari passu basis.

 

(i)                                     For the purposes of this Section 8.3, the Indemnifiable Losses of an Indemnified Party shall include a quantifiable diminution in the value of any member of the Company Group (to the extent only that such diminution in value has not been made good by recovery under any claim against a third party) arising out of a matter the subject of the indemnities in Sections 8.3(a) and/or (b) (the “Relevant Diminution”), which diminution shall be deemed to be an Indemnifiable Loss of the relevant Indemnified Party of an amount equal to a percentage of the amount of the Relevant Diminution that is equal to the percentage interest of that Indemnified Party in the share capital of the Company (on an as-converted basis).

 

8.4                               Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the Laws of Hong Kong.

Such consultation shall begin immediately after any party has delivered written notice to any other party to the Dispute requesting such consultation.

(c)                                  The Dispute shall be settled by arbitration in Hong Kong by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “HKIAC”) in accordance with the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre Administered Arbitration Rules (the “HKIAC Rules”) in force when the Dispute is submitted in accordance with the HKIAC Rules.  There shall be one (1) arbitrator.  The HKIAC Council shall select the arbitrator, who shall be qualified to practice law in Hong Kong.

 

(d)                                 The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English.  If the HKIAC Rules are in conflict with the provisions of this Section 8.6, including the provisions concerning the appointment of arbitrators, the provisions of this Section 8.6 shall prevail.

 

(e)                                  The arbitrator shall decide any dispute submitted by the parties to the arbitration tribunal strictly in accordance with the substantive Law of Hong Kong and shall not apply any other substantive Law.

 

25

 

(f)                                   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.

 

(g)                                  The Parties to this Agreement agree to the consolidation of arbitrations under the Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.5.

 

(i)                             In the event of two or more arbitrations having been commenced under any of the Transaction Documents, the tribunal in the arbitration first filed (the “Principal Tribunal”) may in its sole discretion, upon the application of any party to the arbitrations, order that the proceedings be consolidated before the Principal Tribunal if (1) there are issues of fact and/or law common to the arbitrations, (2) the interests of justice and efficiency would be served by such a consolidation, and (3) no prejudice would be caused to any party in any material respect as a result of such consolidation, whether through undue delay or otherwise.  Such application shall be made as soon as practicable and the party making such application shall give notice to the other parties to the arbitrations.

 

(ii)                          The Principal Tribunal shall be empowered to (but shall not be obliged to) order at its discretion, after inviting written (and where desired oral) representations from the parties that all or any of such arbitrations shall be consolidated or heard together and/or that the arbitrations be heard immediately after another and shall establish a procedure accordingly.  All parties shall take such steps as are necessary to give effect and force to any orders of the Principal Tribunal.

 

(iii)                       If the Principal Tribunal makes an order for consolidation, it: (1) shall thereafter, to the exclusion of other arbitral tribunals, have jurisdiction to resolve all disputes forming part of the consolidation order; (2) shall order that notice of the consolidation order and its effect be given immediately to any arbitrators already appointed in relation to the disputes that were consolidated under the consolidation order; and (3) may also give such directions as it considers appropriate (i) to give effect to the consolidation and make provision for any costs which may result from it (including costs in any arbitration rendered functus officio under this Section 8.6); and (ii) to ensure the proper organization of the arbitration proceedings and that all the issues between the parties are properly formulated and resolved.

 

(iv)                      Upon the making of the consolidation order, any appointment of arbitrators relating to arbitrations that have been consolidated by the Principal Tribunal (except for the appointment of the arbitrators of the Principal Tribunal itself) shall for all purposes cease to have effect and such arbitrators are deemed to be functus officio, on and from the date of the consolidation order.  Such cessation is without prejudice to (1) the validity of any acts done or orders made by such arbitrators before termination, (2) such arbitrators’ entitlement to be paid their proper fees and disbursements and (3) the date when any claim or defense was raised for the purpose of applying any limitation period or any like rule or provision.

 

(v)                         The Parties hereby waive any objections they may have as to the validity and/or enforcement of any arbitral awards made by the Principal Tribunal following the consolidation of disputes or arbitral proceedings in accordance with this Section 8.6 where such objections are based solely on the fact that consolidation of the same has occurred.

 

26

 

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

 

(i)                                     The award of the arbitration 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.

The exercise or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy will neither constitute the exclusive election thereof nor the waiver of any other right, power or remedy available to such Party.

 

8.13                        Delays or Omissions.  No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any Party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other Party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting Party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring.  Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any Party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.
