21.1 Breach

If one Party fails to perform any of its obligations under this Contract or if a Party’s representation or warranty under this Contract is untrue or materially inaccurate, such Party shall be deemed to have breached this Contract. In such event, the performing Party (a “Performing Party”) shall notify the Party in breach (“Breaching Party”) in writing that the Contract has been breached and that the breach should be remedied within sixty (60) days of the date of such notice. If the breach has not been remedied by the end of such sixty-day period, the Performing Party shall notify the Approval Authority that the Contract has been breached by the Breaching Party and the Company may be dissolved at the written request of the Performing Party as provided in Article 22.1.

21.2 Damages in Case of Breach

In the event of a breach of this Contract, the Breaching Party shall be liable to the Performing Party for direct damages incurred as a result of such Breaching Party’s breach of contract. The termination rights provided for in Article 20.1 shall be in addition to and not in substitution for any other remedies that may be available to the Performing Party, and any termination in the exercise of such rights shall not relieve either Party from any obligations accrued to the date of such termination or relieve the Breaching Party from liability and damages to the Performing Party for breach of this Contract. Waiver by either Party of a single default or a succession of defaults shall not deprive such Party of any right to terminate this Contract, arising by reason of any subsequent default.

Should a Party to the Contract not contribute on time to the Company its subscribed amount of the registered capital stipulated in Article 5.3 of this Contract for reasons other than those specified in Article 5.5 hereof, such Party shall, commencing from one month after the due date of such payment in default, pay the Company one percent (1%) per month of the subscribed capital amount overdue as penalty for default. If for reasons other than those specified in Article 5.5 hereof no payment has been made, or full payment of the amount overdue has not been made in three (3) months, the Party in default shall be deemed to have waived its right to subscribe to the capital overdue. Other than claiming from the defaulting Party for the Company the cumulative three percent (3%) on the subscribed amount overdue as penalty for default, the non-defaulting Party shall also have the right to subscribe to such overdue amount, and to request the defaulting Party to compensate the non-defaulting Party for its direct losses sustained as a result of the defaulting Party’s breach.

21.4 Dissolution Due to Breach

Upon approval of the dissolution by the Approval Authority, the Performing Party shall appoint a Liquidation Committee to evaluate the assets and liabilities of the Company and the reasonableness of the claim for damages, if any, suffered by the Performing Party.

Either the Performing Party or the Breaching Party may institute arbitration proceedings in accordance with Article 25 of this Contract should it dispute the determination of the Liquidation Committee.

ARTICLE 22 DISPOSAL OF PROPERTY UPON TERMINATION AND DISSOLUTION

22.1 Liquidation Committee

The Liquidation Committee, whether appointed pursuant to Article 20.4 or Article 21.4 above, shall apply the assets of the Company to satisfy the Company’s liabilities, including all liabilities owed by the Company to Party A or Party B. Thereafter, the

remaining assets of the Company may be distributed to the Parties in accordance with the ratio of their capital contributions; provided, however, that any property to be distributed to the Breaching Party (as Breaching Party is defined in Article 21.1 above) may be used to pay for the damages sustained by the Performing Party. Damages payable to Party B shall be paid in foreign exchange. Party B’s share of distribution shall be paid in foreign exchange, to the extent available in the Company. However, the Parties may elect to receive their respective share of distribution of assets in kind, including machinery and equipment, with Party A being given preference with respect to machinery and equipment made in China and Party B being given preference With respect to machinery and equipment made outside of China. The Liquidation Committee shall value all the assets of the Company on a fair market value basis.

22.2 Valuation of Assets

If at the time of expiration of this Contract without renewal at the end of the Company Term hereof the Company is actively engaged in business, or at any other time when the Parties mutually agree to negotiate a sale and purchase of their respective interests in the Company, the following process may be used with the Parties’ mutual consent to establish the value of the Company: three (3) qualified appraisers, one (1) to be appointed by Party A, one (1) to be appointed by Party B and the third one to be appointed by the two (2) appraisers appointed by the Parties hereto would establish the value of the Company. If a Party fails to appoint an appraiser within sixty (60) days of being requested to do so by the other Party, the appraiser appointed by such Party shall appoint an appraiser on behalf of the Party failing to make such an appointment. Such appraisers shall each value the Company on a going-concern basis with reference to a Pacific area company with facilities comparable to those of the company, which company is qualified to continue to carry on its business in the jurisdiction in which it is located, but without taking into account the value to the Company of the Technology License and Technical Assistance Agreement.

In making such valuation, the appraisers shall make full provision for and take into account the debts and liabilities of the Company. If the value figures of all three (3) of the appraisers are within ten percent (10%) of each other, (using the higher value figure as the denominator), then the value of the Company shall be the average of the value established by each of these three appraisers. If the value figures of only two (2) of the appraisers are within ten percent (10%) of each other, (using the higher value figure as the denominator), then the value of the Company shall be the average of the value established by each of these two appraisers and the third appraiser’s valuation will be discarded. If the value figures of each of the appraisers is more than ten percent (10%) apart (using the higher value figure as the denominator), then new appraisers shall be appointed as provided.

After the value of the Company has been established, the Parties may agree that one Party shall purchase the interest of the other at the pro-rata price established by the said valuation. If Party A buys Party B’s interest, payment shall be made in convertible currency. If neither Party is willing to buy at the value established by the appraisers or at any other price agreed upon, then the Parties shall sell the Company to a third party at the

appraised value or for a better price. If the Parties are unable to sell the Company to a third party, then the Company shall be dissolved as provided in Article 22.1 and its assets sold wherever the best price can be obtained.
