purchase agreement in connection with such transaction (the “Share Purchase Agreement”).  In addition, the Lender provided a loan of $22,232,863.80 to Skillgreat to enable Skillgreat to acquire Ordinary Shares from 21st Century Fox America, Inc. (the “Loan”).  The Loan is guaranteed by the Founder and is secured by a pledge of 2,250,711 Ordinary Shares owned by Skillgreat.  Absent a default on the Loan, the Lender has no voting rights or rights to dispose of the pledged shares.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, the Founder and Skillgreat agreed, for as long as Fosun beneficially owns at least 5% of the total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares on a fully-diluted basis, to use their best efforts to support the election and re-election of an individual designated by the Investor to the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) and to one or more committees of the Board, subject to applicable legal limitations.

 

Under the Share Purchase Agreement, Fosun and the Investor agreed to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Company with respect to certain business activities and relationships, and the Investor agreed to support the Founder with respect to certain matters.

 

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

(a) See Items 11 and 13 of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number and percentage of Ordinary Shares that are beneficially owned by each Reporting Person as of July 28, 2014.

 

(b) See Items 7 through 10 of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the number of Ordinary Shares that are beneficially owned by each Reporting Person as of July 28, 2014 as to which there is sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote, and sole or shared power to dispose or direct the disposition.

 

(c)  The Investor engaged in certain transactions involving the purchase of ADSs and Ordinary Shares on the dates and at the average prices per ADS set forth on Exhibit 99.3.

 

(d) No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities covered by this Schedule 13D.

 

(e) Not applicable.

 

The Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) with the Founder and Skillgreat with respect to the matters described in Item 4 and 6 of this Schedule 13D.  As of July 25, 2014, the Founder and Skillgreat beneficially owned 10,075,188.5 Ordinary Shares, representing 32.1% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. Each Reporting Person hereby disclaims beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Founder and Skillgreat. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns any Ordinary Shares of the Issuer that are beneficially owned by the Founder or Skillgreat or is a member of any a group with the Founder or Skillgreat.

In addition, the Founder granted Fosun a right of first refusal with respect to any voluntary sale of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Founder after he is no longer employed by the Company and is no longer a director of the Board due to certain reasons, subject to certain exceptions.  Such right of first refusal will terminate as soon as Fosun beneficially owns less than 5% of the total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares on a fully-diluted basis.

Under the Share Purchase Agreement, Fosun and the Investor agreed to support the appointment of the Founder as the chief executive officer and the chairman of the Board and the exercise by the Founder, as chief executive officer, of management power with respect to the Company, including without limitation supporting the appointment of senior officers nominated by the Founder.  In addition, Fosun and the Investor agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts to support the future debt and equity financing activities of the Issuer.  With respect to any financing proposals, Fosun (i) will advise each director on the Board nominated by it or any of its affiliates to vote in the same manner as the Founder, and (ii) will cause all voting securities of the Issuer held or beneficially owned by it to be voted, in the same manner as Skillgreat, which manner shall be, in the Founder’s best judgment, commercially reasonable to the Company. References to the Share Purchase Agreement set forth are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Share Purchase Agreement, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 99.4, and which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

On July 23, 2014, the Founder, Skillgreat and the Lender entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lender agreed to make a term loan to Skillgreat in the Loan Principal Amount, bearing interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum. The Loan has an initial term of one year, which can be extended for six months at the election of Skillgreat. Skillgreat’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed by the Founder and secured by an equitable share mortgage pursuant to an equitable share mortgage agreement entered into on July 23, 2014 by and between Skillgreat and the Lender (the “Share Mortgage Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Share Mortgage Agreement, Skillgreat agreed to initially mortgage in favor of the Lender all of its right, title and interest in and to 2,250,711 Ordinary Shares owned by it. In addition, in the event that the listed ADS market price on the NASDAQ Global Select Market falls below a certain threshold, Skillgreat will be obligated to mortgage an additional number of Ordinary Shares such that the value of the collateral, calculated by reference to the volume weighted average closing price over the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date of such new mortgage, is at least 1.25 times the Aggregate Principal Amount outstanding at such time. In the event that an Event of Default (as defined under the Loan Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, the Lender may, among other things, declare all unpaid Loan Principal Amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest, due and payable, and/or exercise its right under the Share Mortgage Agreement, including its rights of enforcement of the collateral.  References to the Loan Agreement and the Share Mortgage Agreement set forth herein are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Agreement and the Share Mortgage Agreement, which are filed hereto as Exhibit 99.5 and Exhibit 99.6, respectively, and which are incorporated herein by reference.

INDEMNIFICATION

The covenants and agreements of any Party contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until they are terminated, whether by performance thereof, their express terms or as a matter of applicable Law.

 

Section 7.2.   Indemnification.

 

(a)                                 Each of the Founder and the Selling Shareholder (each, a “Indemnifying Party) shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold Fosun, the Investor and their directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents, assigns and transferees (each, an “Indemnified Party) harmless from and against any Liabilities, judgments, fines and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including any investigative, legal and other expenses and any amounts paid in settlement suffered or incurred by any Indemnified Party (the “Losses) resulting from, arising out of or in connection with: (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of any Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any certificate delivered by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party in connection herewith or therewith; (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of any Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any certificate delivered by and on behalf of any Indemnifying Party in connection herewith or therewith; and (iii) any Tax Liability of any Indemnifying Party that such Indemnifying Party is obligated to pay, or withhold from the Purchase Price paid to the Selling Shareholder for the Shares, arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding Section 7.2(a), none of the Indemnifying Parties shall be liable under this Agreement for any punitive, incidental or consequential damages, unless such punitive, incidental or consequential damages are awarded against an Indemnified Party in a third-party claim.

 

Section 7.3.   Materiality Determination.

 

(a)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of the indemnification provisions in Section 7.2, any determination of whether any breach of a representation or warranty has occurred under this Agreement shall be made in strict accordance with the terms of the relevant representation or

 

24



 

warranty, taking into account any and all “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” qualifiers or words of similar import contained therein.

 

(b)                                 Once a breach is determined to have occurred in accordance to Section 7.3(a), for the purpose of determining the amount of Losses resulting from such breach, any “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” qualifiers or words of similar import contained in such representation or warranty shall in each case be disregarded and not be given effect (as if such standard or qualification were deleted from such representation or warranty).

 

Section 7.4.   Limitations.

 

(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except in the case of fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation or a breach of the repayment obligation set forth in Section 6.4, (i) an Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2 unless and until the total amount of the Losses incurred by all Indemnified Parties exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars (US$500,000)), and (ii) the aggregate Liability of the Indemnifying Parties to the Indemnified Parties for indemnification under Section 7.2 shall be limited to no more than the total Purchase Price received by the Selling Shareholder under Section 2.3.

 

(b)                                 The amount of any Losses incurred by any Indemnified Party shall be reduced by the net amount such Indemnified Party recovers (after deducting all attorneys fees, expenses and other costs of recovery) from any insurer under insurance policies with respect to such Losses in excess of the sum of (i) reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses relating to collection under such policies, (ii) any deductible associated therewith to the extent paid and (iii) any corresponding increase in insurance premiums or other chargebacks resulting from, arising out of, or in connection with, insurance payments for the Losses. Such Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect any such recovery.

 

(c)                                  For the avoidance of doubt, any Liability under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Liability constituting a breach of more than one warranty, covenant or agreement, and no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the same Losses or obtain payment, reimbursement or restitution for the same expenses more than once in respect of any inaccuracy or breach of any provision of this Agreement.

 

Section 7.5.   Notice of Claims; Procedures.  If any Indemnified Party makes any claim against any Indemnifying Party for indemnification under this Article VII, the claim shall be in writing and shall state in general terms the facts upon which such Indemnified Party makes the claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party in writing within twenty (20) Business Days from receipt of such claim that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed with such claim. In the event of any claim or demand asserted against an Indemnified Party by a third party upon which the Indemnified Party may claim indemnification, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt from the Indemnified Party of such claim or demand, indicating whether the Indemnifying Party intends to assume the defense of the claim or demand. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense, the Indemnifying Party may not agree to any compromise or settlement to which the Indemnified Party has not consented in writing. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense or fails to make such an election within the twenty (20) Business Day period, or otherwise fails to continue the defense of the Indemnified Party reasonably and in good faith, the Indemnified Party may assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and a recovery against the Indemnified Party suffered by it in good faith shall be conclusive in its favor against the Indemnifying Party.

 

Section 7.6.   Investigation.  The representations, warranties, covenants and agreement of the Indemnifying Parties, and any Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party knew or should have known that any such

 

25



 

representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of any Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 5.2.

 

Section 7.7.   Payment.  Upon the earlier to occur of (i) the agreement of the Indemnifying Party to pay the amount claimed by an Indemnified Party in a claim notice issued in accordance with Section 7.5, or (ii) a final determination of the arbitral tribunal as provided for in Section 8.11 that any amount is payable by an Indemnifying Party hereunder, such Indemnifying Party shall pay the Indemnified Party as soon as commercially practicable but in no event more than fifteen (15) Business Days thereafter.

(b)                                 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 Arbitration Notice is submitted in accordance with the HKIAC Rules. There shall be one (1) arbitrator. There shall be one arbitrator agreed to by the Parties, and if they cannot so agree on such arbitrator within ten (10) Business Days of the commencement of the arbitration proceedings, three arbitrators shall be appointed. In such case, one arbitrator shall be nominated by the Party or Parties, as the case may be, commencing the arbitration proceedings (the “Claimant Side”), and one arbitrator shall be nominated by the respondent or respondents, as the case may be, to the proceedings (the “Respondent Side), and if either the Claimant Side or the Respondent Side shall fail to nominate its arbitrator, the HKIAC shall appoint such arbitrator. The two arbitrators so chosen shall select a third arbitrator, provided that if such two arbitrators shall fail to choose a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after such two arbitrators have been selected, the HKIAC shall appoint the third arbitrator. The third arbitrator shall be the presiding arbitrator. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint arbitrators who are qualified to practice law in the State of New York.

 

(c)                                  The arbitral proceedings shall be conducted in English. To the extent that the HKIAC Rules are in conflict with the provisions of this Section 8.11, including the provisions concerning the appointment of the arbitrators, the provisions of this Section 8.11 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 arbitration shall be conducted in private. Each Party agrees that all documents and evidence submitted in the arbitration (including without limitation any statements of case and any interim or final award, as well as the fact that an arbitral award has been made) shall remain confidential both during and after any final award that is rendered unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing.

 

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

 

28



 

(g)                                  The arbitral tribunal shall decide any Dispute submitted by the parties to the arbitration strictly in accordance with the substantive Laws of the State of New York (without regard to principles of conflict of Laws thereunder) and shall not apply any other substantive Law.

 

(h)                                 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.

 

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

 

(j)                                    The Parties to this Agreement agree to the consolidation of arbitrations under the Transaction Documents in accordance with the following:

 

(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 (A) there are issues of fact and/or law common to the arbitrations, (B) the interests of justice and efficiency would be served by such a consolidation, and (C) 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: (A) shall thereafter, to the exclusion of other arbitral tribunals, have jurisdiction to resolve all disputes forming part of the consolidation order; (B) 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 (C) may also give such directions as it considers appropriate (x) 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 8.11); and (y) 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 (A) the validity of any acts done or orders made by such arbitrators before termination, (B) such arbitrators entitlement to be paid their proper fees and disbursements and (C) the date when any claim or defence 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 8.11 where such objections are based solely on the fact that consolidation of the same has occurred.

Affiliate” means any Person which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with another Person (“control,” “controlled by” and “under common control with” with respect to any Person meaning for the purposes of the foregoing the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities or by contract or otherwise).

 

Beginning Reference Share Price” means the Listed Share Price, (a) as determined based on the volume weighted average closing price over the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding July 13, 2014, and (b) following each new deposit of additional Pledged Shares as Collateral in accordance with Section 6(b)(ii), as determined based on the volume weighted average closing price over the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date of such new deposit.

(d)                                 No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges that may otherwise be available to the Lender.

 

(e)                                  Time is of the essence for the performance of each and every obligation under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(f)                                   Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all applicable laws and regulations.  If, however, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such law or regulation in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such law or regulation, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement, or the validity or effectiveness of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

(g)                                  This Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Borrower, Guarantor and the Lender and their respective successors and assigns.

 

(h)                                 Each of Borrower and Guarantor shall not have the right to assign its rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein or therein without the prior written consent of the Lender.  The Lender may sell, assign, transfer or grant participations in all or any portion of the Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliate, provided that no such assignment shall relieve the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.  In the event of any such assignment, the assignee shall be

deemed the “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and any other documents and instruments relating hereto with respect to the rights and obligations assigned to it.  Each of Borrower and Guarantor agrees that in connection with any such grant or assignment, the Lender may deliver to the prospective participant or assignee financial statements and other relevant information relating to Borrower or Guarantor.

 

(i)                                     This Agreement is secured by the Collateral.

 

(j)                                    THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

 

(k)                                 Dispute Resolution.

 

(i)                                     Any dispute, controversy or claim (each, a “Dispute”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the interpretation, breach, termination, validity or invalidity thereof, shall be referred to arbitration upon the demand of any Party to the dispute with notice (the “Arbitration Notice”) to the other Parties.

 

(ii)                                  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 Arbitration Notice is submitted in accordance with the HKIAC Rules. There shall be one (1) arbitrator. There shall be one arbitrator agreed to by the Parties, and if they cannot so agree on such arbitrator within ten (10) Business Days of the commencement of the arbitration proceedings, three arbitrators shall be appointed. In such case, one arbitrator shall be nominated by the Party or Parties, as the case may be, commencing the arbitration proceedings (the “Claimant Side”), and one arbitrator shall be nominated by the respondent or respondents, as the case may be, to the proceedings (the “Respondent Side”), and if either the Claimant Side or the Respondent Side shall fail to nominate its arbitrator, the HKIAC shall appoint such arbitrator. The two arbitrators so chosen shall select a third arbitrator, provided that if such two arbitrators shall fail to choose a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after such two arbitrators have been selected, the HKIAC shall appoint the third arbitrator. The third arbitrator shall be the presiding arbitrator. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint arbitrators who are qualified to practice law in the State of New York.

 

(iii)                               The arbitral proceedings shall be conducted in English. To the extent that the HKIAC Rules are in conflict with the provisions of this Section 12(k), including the provisions concerning the appointment of the arbitrators, the provisions of this Section 12(k) shall prevail.

 

(iv)                              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.

 

(v)                                 The arbitration shall be conducted in private. Each Party agrees that all documents and evidence submitted in the arbitration (including without limitation any statements of case and any interim or final award, as well as the fact that an arbitral award has been made) shall remain confidential both during and after any final award that is rendered unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing.

 

13



 

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

 

(vii)                           The arbitral tribunal shall decide any Dispute submitted by the parties to the arbitration strictly in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York (without regard to principles of conflict of laws thereunder) and shall not apply any other substantive law.

 

(viii)                        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.

 

(ix)                              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.

 

(x)                                 The Parties to this Agreement agree to the consolidation of arbitrations under the Loan Documents in accordance with the following:

 

(A)                               In the event of two or more arbitrations having been commenced under any of the Loan 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 (A) there are issues of fact and/or law common to the arbitrations, (B) the interests of justice and efficiency would be served by such a consolidation, and (C) 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.

 

(B)                               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.

 

(C)                               If the Principal Tribunal makes an order for consolidation, it: (A) shall thereafter, to the exclusion of other arbitral tribunals, have jurisdiction to resolve all disputes forming part of the consolidation order; (B) 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 (C) may also give such directions as it considers appropriate (x) 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 12(k)); and (y) to ensure the proper organization of the arbitration proceedings and that all the issues between the parties are properly formulated and resolved.

 

(D)                               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 (A) the validity of any acts done or orders made by such arbitrators before termination, (B) such arbitrators’ entitlement to be paid their proper fees and disbursements and (C) the date when any claim or defence was raised for the purpose of applying any limitation period or any like rule or provision.

 

14



 

(E)                                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 12(k) where such objections are based solely on the fact that consolidation of the same has occurred.

 

Section 13. Amendment and Restatement and Continuing Security.

 

(a)                                 As stated in the recitals hereof, this Agreement amends, restates and supersedes the Initial Loan Agreement, without novation.  Upon the Closing Date, all references in any Loan Document and all other agreements, documents and instruments delivered by the Borrower, Guarantor, the Initial Lender or any other Person to (i) the Initial Loan Agreement shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement (except where the context otherwise requires) and (ii) “Lender” shall mean such term as defined in this Agreement.  As to all periods occurring on or after the Closing Date, all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Initial Loan Agreement shall be of no further force and effect; it being understood that all obligations of the Borrower and Guarantor under the Initial Loan Agreement shall be governed by this Agreement from and after the Closing Date and Borrower and Guarantor shall thereafter have no further obligations to the Initial Lender under the Initial Loan Agreement. The Lender shall procure that the Initial Lender shall not bring, directly or indirectly, any legal or equitable claims against the Borrower or the Guarantor arising under or in connection with the Initial Loan Agreement.

 

(b)                                 The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all principal, interest, fees, costs, reimbursable expenses and indemnification obligations accruing or arising under or in connection with the Initial Loan Agreement which remain unpaid and outstanding as of the Closing Date shall be and remain outstanding and payable as an obligation under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)                                  Each of Borrower and Guarantor hereby ratifies, affirms and acknowledges all of its obligations in respect of the Initial Loan Agreement, as amended and restated hereby, and the related documents and agreements delivered by it thereunder.

 

(d)                                 It is the intention of each of the Parties hereto that the Initial Loan Agreement be amended and restated by the provisions hereof so as to preserve the perfection and priority of all security interests securing indebtedness and obligations under the Initial Loan Agreement and that all indebtedness and obligations of the Borrower and Guarantor hereunder shall be secured by the Collateral Documents and that this Agreement does not constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities existing under the Initial Loan Agreement except to the extent superseded by this Agreement after the Closing Date.  Each of Borrower and Guarantor hereby confirms that the validity, effect and enforceability of all Collateral Documents and the guarantee of the obligations by Guarantor shall remain unaffected by this amendment and restatement.  The Parties agree that the obligations secured by the Collateral and the guarantee of Guarantor shall include the obligations under or in connection with this amendment and restatement.

(a)                                 in the preservation or enforcement of the Mortgagee’s rights under this Mortgage or the priority thereof; or

20.                               LAW AND JURISDICTION

 

20.1                        This Mortgage shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and the Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Cayman Islands, provided that nothing in this clause shall affect the right of the Mortgagee to serve process in any manner permitted by law or limit the right of the Mortgagee to take proceedings with respect to this Mortgage against the Mortgagor in any jurisdiction nor shall the taking of proceedings with respect to this Mortgage in any jurisdiction preclude the Mortgagee from taking proceedings with respect to this Mortgage in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.

 

20.2                        The Mortgagor agrees that the process by which any proceedings in the Cayman Islands are begun may be served on it by being delivered to the process agent referred to below.

 

20.3                        Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, the Mortgagor:

 

(a)                                 irrevocably appoints the Company as his/her agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the Cayman Islands courts in connection with this Mortgage and confirms that such agent for service of process has duly accepted such appointment; and

 

(b)                                 agrees that failure by the process agent to notify the Mortgagor of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.

 

20.4                        If the appointment of the person mentioned in Clause 20.3 ceases to be effective, the relevant Mortgagor shall immediately appoint another person in the Cayman Islands to accept service of process on its behalf.  If the Mortgagor fails to do so, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to appoint such a person by notice to such Mortgagor.  Nothing contained herein shall restrict the right to serve process in any other manner allowed by law.

 

21.                               AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT

 

21.1                        As stated in the recitals hereof, this Mortgage amends, restates and supersedes the Initial Mortgage without novation.  Nothing expressed or implied in this Mortgage shall be construed as a release or other discharge of Mortgagor from any of its obligations or liabilities under the Initial Mortgage or any other security agreements, pledge agreements, mortgages, or other loan documents executed in connection therewith, except (i) to the extent such obligations or liabilities are superseded under this Mortgage after the date hereof, or (ii) with respect to such obligations or liabilities owing to the Initial Mortgagee (including under such documents previously delivered to the Initial Mortgagee under Section 4.2 of the Initial Mortgage), as such obligations or liabilities are transferred to, or replaced or superseded by corresponding obligations or liabilities to the Mortgagee (including under such documents now delivered to the Mortgagee as assignee of the Initial Mortgagee under Section 4.2 of this Mortgage). Each of Mortgagor and Mortgagee hereby confirms and agrees that (1) to the extent that the Initial Mortgage purports to assign or pledge to the Initial Mortgagee and its assignees, or to grant to the Initial Mortgagee and its assignees a security interest in or lien on, any collateral as security for the obligations of Mortgagor from time to time existing in respect of the Loan Agreement, such pledge, assignment or grant of the security interest or lien is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, and (2) the grant of security set forth herein is not a new grant of security and is a reaffirmation of the grant of security set forth in the Initial Mortgage.
