(b)                               In the exercise of its powers under Section 2.9(a), the Senior Chargees shall be the agent of the Chargor for all purposes and, subject to the law of any applicable jurisdiction, the Chargor alone shall be responsible for those contracts, engagements, acts, omissions, defaults and losses and for liabilities incurred absent gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Senior Chargees in the exercise of such powers.

 

(c)                                The Senior Chargees may, whenever they think fit, delegate by power of attorney or otherwise to any person or persons, all or any of the powers, authorities and discretions vested in the Senior Chargees by this Deed or in connection with the Charge and such delegation may be made upon such regulations as the Senior Chargees may think fit and the Senior Chargees shall not be bound to supervise the proceedings or be responsible for any loss

SECTION 5
DISCHARGE OF SECURITY

 

5.1                               Subject to this Section 5, the Charge shall remain in full force and effect by way of continuing security and shall not be affected in any way by any interim settlement of account (whether or not any Secured Obligations remain outstanding thereafter) or other matter or thing whatsoever.  The first-ranking charge as described in Section 2.1

 

12



 

shall be released upon the Senior Discharge Date and the second-ranking charge as described in Section 2.2 shall be released upon the Junior Discharge Date.

 

5.2                               Without prejudice to the generality of sub-clause (a) of this Section 5.2, except as otherwise provided in this Deed, neither the Charge, nor the amounts thereby secured, shall be affected in any way by:

 

(a)                                any other security, guarantee or indemnity now or hereafter held by the Chargees or any other person in respect of the Secured Obligations or any other liabilities;

 

(b)                               the release of any security, guarantee or indemnity (including, except to the extent of the relevant release, the Charge);

 

(c)                                any amendment to any security, guarantee or indemnity (including, except to the extent of the relevant amendment and the Charge);

 

(d)                               the enforcement or absence of enforcement of any security, guarantee or indemnity (including the Charge);

 

(e)                                any time, indulgence, waiver or consent given to the Chargor or any other person whether by the Chargees, the Chargor or any other person;

 

(f)                                  the making or absence of any demand for payment of any liabilities made on the Chargor, or any other person whether by the Chargees or any other person;

 

(g)                               the winding-up or the commencement of the winding-up of the Chargor or any other person;

 

(h)                               the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of, or any defect in, any provision of any documents relating to any security, guarantees or indemnities (including the Charge) or any of the rights or obligations of any of the parties under or in connection with any such document or any security, guarantee or indemnity (including the Charge), whether on the grounds of ultra vires, not being in the interests of the relevant person or not having been duly authorized, executed or delivered by any Person or for any other reason whatsoever; or

 

(i)                                   any agreement, security, guarantee, indemnity, payment or other transaction which is capable of being avoided under or affected by any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or winding-up or any release, settlement or discharge given or made by the Chargees on the faith of any such agreement, security, guarantees, indemnities, payment or other transaction, and any such releases, settlement or discharge shall be deemed to be limited accordingly.

 

5.3                               (a)                                  Subject to Section 2.3(b) upon the due payment or satisfaction in full of the Secured Obligations, the applicable Chargees will, at the request of the Chargor, take such action as the Chargor may request to release the Security from the Charge.  In the event that some of the Security has been enforced

 

13



 

pursuant to Section 2.7 due to a breach of the relevant Secured Obligations, upon such release, the applicable Chargees shall return to the Chargor all the remaining Security and/or the remaining portion of cash or securities received by it from the disposal of the Security in connection with such enforcement after the Chargees has been fully compensated for the relevant losses due to such breach of Secured Obligations.

 

(b)                               No assurance, security, guarantee or payment which may be avoided under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, winding up and no release, settlement, discharge or arrangement given or made by the Chargees on the faith of any such assurance, security, guarantee or payment, shall prejudice or affect the rights of the Chargees to enforce the Charge in accordance with this Deed to the full extent of the Secured Obligations or any other rights which the Chargees may have in respect of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof.  Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Chargees shall be entitled to retain the Charge and shall not be obliged to release the Security from the Charge until the expiry of the statutory period within which any assurance, security, guarantee or payment can be avoided or invalidated after the Secured Obligations shall have been discharged in full, and after any other obligation which might give rise to Secured Obligations has terminated.  If at any time within such period:

 

(i)                                   a petition shall be presented to a competent court for an order for the winding up of the Chargor or of any Party which has given the relevant assurance, security, guarantee or payment; or

 

(ii)                                the Chargor or any other Party shall pass a resolution for or with a view to its winding up,

 

the Chargees may continue to retain the Charge and not to release the Security from the Charge for and during such further period as the Chargees in their absolute discretion shall determine.

 

5.4                               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, prior to the Senior Discharge Date, each of the Chargor and the Junior Chargee agrees that it will not take or cause to be taken any action that would have the effect of undermining, reducing or negatively affecting the Senior Chargees’ first-ranking charge over the Charged Property and the priority of such first-ranking charge over the Junior Chargee’s second-ranking charge over the Charged Property and will not create or register, as security for any indebtedness incurred in connection with the Loan Agreement, any charge, mortgage, lien, security interest, pledge or similar encumbrance over all or any part of the equity interest of the Company’s subsidiaries (except for the pledge over the equity interest of Trony Solar Science & Technology Development Limited granted to the Senior Chargees) or any part of the equity interest of the Company which is not Charged Property.

SECTION 6
RIGHTS, AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS AND CONSENTS

 

6.1                               The rights conferred by this Deed shall be in addition to and not in substitution for the rights conferred on mortgagees or receivers by law, which shall apply to the Charge except in so far (if at all) as they are expressly excluded.

 

6.2                               Except as otherwise provided in this Deed, all rights of the Chargees hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time at their absolute discretion.  No failure on the part of the Chargees to exercise, and no delay on its part in exercising, any right under this Deed will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

 

6.3                               So long as the Charge continues in force:

 

(a)                                Any rights of the Chargor to be indemnified by any person, to prove in respect of any liability in the winding-up of any person or to take the benefit of or enforce any security, guarantees or indemnities (in each case by reason of the performance of any of its obligations under this Deed, the enforcement of any of the Security or any action taken pursuant to any rights conferred by or in connection with the Charge) shall be exercised and enforced only in such manner and on such terms, as the Senior Chargees (or following the Senior Discharge Date, the Junior Chargee) may reasonably require; and

 

(b)                               Any amount received or recovered by the Chargor (i) as a result of any exercise of any such rights or (ii) in the winding-up of any person shall be held in trust for and immediately paid to the Chargees in accordance with the priority of distribution set forth in Section 2.9.

 

SECTION 7
INDEMNITY

 

7.1                               The Chargor will indemnify and save harmless the Chargees, the Receiver and each agent or attorney appointed under or pursuant to this Charge from and against any and all expenses, claims, liabilities, losses, taxes, costs, duties, fees and charges properly and reasonably suffered, incurred or made by the Chargees, the Receiver or such agent or attorney:

 

(a)                                in the exercise or purported exercise of any rights, powers or discretions vested in them pursuant to this Charge;

 

(b)                               in the preservation or enforcement of the Chargees’ rights under this Charge or the priority thereof; or

 

(c)                                on the release of any part of the Charged Property from the security created by this Charge,

 

15



 

and the Chargees, the Receiver or such agent or attorney may retain and pay all sums in respect of the same out of money received under the powers conferred by this Charge.  All amounts recoverable by the Chargees, the Receiver or such agent or attorney or any of them shall be recoverable on a full indemnity basis.

 

7.2                               If, under any applicable law or regulation, and whether pursuant to a judgment being made or registered against the Chargor or the bankruptcy or liquidation of the Chargor or for any other reason any payment under or in connection with this Charge is made or falls to be satisfied in a currency (the “Payment Currency”) other than the currency in which such payment is due under or in connection with this Charge (the “Contractual Currency”), then to the extent that the amount of such payment actually received by the Chargees when converted into the Contractual Currency at the rate of exchange falls short of the amount due under or in connection with this Charge, the Chargor, as a separate and independent obligation, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Chargees against the amount of such shortfall. For the purposes of this clause, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which each Chargee is able on or about the date of such payment to purchase the Contractual Currency with the Payment Currency and shall take into account any premium and other costs of exchange with respect thereto.

 

SECTION 8
POWER OF ATTORNEY

 

8.1                               The Chargor hereby irrevocably and by way of security for the payment of the Secured Obligations and the performance of its obligations under this Charge appoints each of the Senior Chargees separately as its true and lawful attorney (with full power to appoint substitutes and to sub-delegate) with respect to the Charged Shares charged in favour of such Senior Chargee hereunder, on behalf of the Chargor and in the Chargor’s own name or otherwise, at any time and from time to time after the occurrence of a Senior Enforcement Event:

 

(a)                                to execute and complete in favour of such Chargee or its nominees or of any purchaser any documents which such Chargee may from time to time require for perfecting its title to or for vesting any of the assets and property hereby charged or assigned in such Chargee or its nominees or in any purchaser and to give effectual discharges for payments;

 

(b)                               to take and institute on non-payment all steps and proceedings in the name of the Chargor or of such Chargee for the recovery of such moneys, property and assets hereby charged and to agree accounts;

 

(c)                                to make allowances and give time or other indulgence to any surety or other person liable; and

 

(d)                               to sign, execute, seal and deliver and otherwise perfect and do any such legal assignments and other assurances, charges, authorities and documents over the

 

16



 

moneys, property and assets hereby charged, and all such deeds, instruments, acts and things which may be required for the full exercise of all or any of the powers conferred or which may be deemed proper on or in connection with any of the purposes aforesaid.

 

8.2                               The Chargor hereby ratifies and confirms and agrees to ratify and confirm any instrument, act or thing which any such attorney may execute or do.  In relation to the power referred to herein, the exercise by each Senior Chargee of such power shall be conclusive evidence of its right to exercise the same.

 

SECTION 9

SECTION 10
MISCELLANEOUS

 

10.1                         This Deed may be executed in any number of counterparts and this shall have the same effect as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of this Deed.  Upon delivery to the Chargees of counterparts executed by all such parties, the Chargees shall forthwith give notice, confirmed in writing, of such delivery to all other parties.

 

18


 

10.2                         Each document to be delivered under this Deed shall be in the English language.

 

10.3                         No failure to exercise or enforce, or delay in exercising or enforcing, on the part of the Chargees, any right, power or privilege under this Deed shall operate as a waiver, nor shall  any single or partial exercise or enforcement of any right power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise or enforcement or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies of the Chargees are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

 

10.4                         If at any time any provision of this Deed is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or  enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Deed nor the legality, validity or enforceability of that provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall in any way be affected or impaired.

 

10.5                         This Deed shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong.

 

10.6                         Any dispute, controversy or difference arising out of, in connection with or relating to this Deed, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof (a “Dispute”) shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to this Section 10.6. The arbitration shall be conducted in Hong Kong under the auspices of the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “Centre”) in accordance with the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules in effect at the time of the arbitration. There shall be one (1) arbitrator who shall be qualified to practice law in Hong Kong. The language to be used in arbitral proceedings shall be English. If the UNCITRAL Rules are in conflict with the provisions of this Section 10.6 including the provisions concerning the appointment of the arbitrator, the provisions of this Section 10.6 shall prevail. The arbitrator 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. In making the award, the arbitrator shall have the authority to award attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses of the arbitration in accordance with this Deed and as the arbitrator deems just and appropriate under the circumstances. Each party hereto shall co-operate with the others in making full disclosure of and providing complete access to all information and documents requested by the others in connection with such arbitral proceedings, subject only to any attorney-client or other applicable legal privilege and confidentiality obligations binding on such party. The award shall be issued within six (6) months of the appointment of the arbitrator, provided, however, that the arbitrator shall, upon finding that it is impracticable to meet such deadline consistent with the arbitrator’s primary obligation justly to determine the controversy before the arbitrator, have discretion to extend or alter such deadline to the extent necessary to prevent injustice or preserve the enforceability of the arbitrator’s award. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the disputing parties, and any party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award. The parties shall co-operate and use their best efforts to take all actions reasonably required to facilitate the prompt enforcement in the PRC or any other jurisdiction of any arbitral award made by the arbitrator. A party shall be entitled to

 

19



 

seek preliminary injunctive relief, if possible, from any court of competent jurisdiction pending the appointment of the arbitrator.
