(b)any breach of any covenant of the Purchaser set forth herein (including the covenant of payment).

9.3Claim Procedure/Notice of Claim.

(a)A Party entitled, or seeking to assert rights, to indemnification under this Article IX (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notification (a “Claim Notice”) to the Party from whom indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) which contains (i) a description and the amount (the “Claimed Amount”), if then known, of any Damages incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party and (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article IX for such Damages and a reasonable explanation of the Basis therefore.

(b)Within twenty (20) days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response (the “Response”) in which the Indemnifying Party shall either: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount or (ii) dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any or all of the Claimed Amount (in such an event, the Response shall be referred to as an “Objection Notice”).  If no Response is delivered by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party within such 20-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed that an amount equal to the entire Claimed Amount shall be payable to the Indemnified Party and such Claimed Amount shall be promptly paid to the Purchaser or the Sellers, as applicable.

(c)In the event that the parties are unable to agree on whether Damages exist or on the amount of such Damages within the 20-day period after delivery of a Claim Notice, either the Purchaser or the Sellers may (but are not required to do so)

40

apply for the dispute resolution mechanism as detailed in Article 13.3 below for resolution of such dispute.

(d)In the event that the Indemnified Party is entitled, or is seeking to assert rights, to indemnification under this Article IX relating to a third-party claim, the Indemnified Party shall give written notification to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any Legal Proceeding relating to such third-party claim.  Such notification shall be given within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of such suit or proceeding, shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation submitted by such third party (to the extent then in the possession of the Indemnified Party) and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the Basis for such suit or proceeding and the amount of the claimed Damages, if then known; provided, however, that no delay or deficiency on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any Liability caused by or arising out of such failure.  Within twenty (20) days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such suit or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnifying Party may only assume control of such defense if it acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party that any Damages that may be assessed against the Indemnified Party in connection with such suit or proceeding constitute Damages for which the Indemnified Party shall be fully indemnified pursuant to this Article IX, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of a suit or proceeding involving criminal liability or in which any relief other than monetary Damages is sought against the Indemnified Party.  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in the event that an Indemnified Party in good faith determines that the conduct of the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding or any proposed settlement of any such claim, suit or proceeding by the Indemnifying Party might be expected to adversely affect the Indemnified Party’s Tax Liability or the ability of the Indemnified Party to conduct its business (including, relationships with Governmental Entities, customers, suppliers or other Persons with whom the Indemnified Party conducts business), the Indemnified Party shall have the right at all times to take over and assume control over the defense, settlement or negotiations relating to any such claim, suit or proceeding at the sole cost of the Indemnifying Party.  If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense.  The party not controlling such defense (the “Non-controlling Party”) may participate therein at its own expense; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such suit or proceeding, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement.  The Party controlling such defense (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-controlling Party reasonably advised

41

of the status of such suit or proceeding and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto.  The Non-controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such suit or proceeding (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such Party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such suit or proceeding.  The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(e)In no event shall the indemnification amount exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the Purchase Price herein.  And the tipping basket for the aggregate Claimed Amount for undisclosed liabilities or breaches of representations, warranties, covenants or agreements shall be US$20,000.  If any Claimed Amount is below US$20,000, no indemnification would be rendered.  However, if any Claimed Amount is over US$20,000, the Indemnified Party will get reimbursed to the full amount starting from US$1 not US$20,001.

(f)In the event the Purchaser fails to pay the Purchase Price according to the time schedule required in Section 2.3 above,  the Purchaser shall be liable to pay the Damages to the Sellers calculated based on three (3) times of the lost bank deposit interest plus lost exchange rate on the portion of delayed payment for the corresponding period of time for delay.

9.4Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants; Determination of Damages.

(a)Except as set forth in Section 9.4(b), the representations and warranties of the Sellers, the Owners and the Purchaser contained in this Agreement and the certificates delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive for a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date (except for with respect to Taxes), at which point such representations and warranties and any cause of action based thereon will terminate.

(b)The representations and warranties of the Sellers and the Owners contained in Sections 4.11 (Tax Matters) (the “Tax Representations”), 4.17 (Employee Benefits) and 4.19 (Environmental Matters) shall survive for thirty (30) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (after giving effect to any extensions, waivers or mitigation), at which point such representations and warranties and any cause of action based thereon shall terminate.  The representations and warranties of the Sellers contained in Sections 4.1 (Organization, Qualification and Power), 4.2 (Authorization of Transaction), 4.4

42

(Capitalization; Title to Shares), 4.5 (Affiliates) and 4.9 (Title and Related Matters) (collectively, the “Unlimited Representations”) shall survive indefinitely.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if an Indemnified Party delivers to an Indemnifying Party, before expiration of a representation or warranty, either a Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation or warranty, or a notice that, as a result of a Legal Proceeding instituted by or claim made by a third party, the Indemnified Party reasonably expects to incur Damages, then the applicable representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such notice.

(d)The representations and warranties of the Sellers and the Owners shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Purchaser (including by any of the Purchaser’s Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Purchaser or any of the Purchaser’s Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is or might be inaccurate.  To such effect, the Purchaser shall notify the Sellers and the Owners in a timely manner and take certain measures to present the enlargement of the losses (if any).

(e)All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and the documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date in accordance with their terms.

(f)The rights and remedies of any Party based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or failure to fulfill any condition shall in no way be limited by the fact that the act, omission, occurrence or other state of facts upon which any claim of any such inaccuracy or breach is based may also be the subject matter of any other representation, warranty, covenant or agreement as to which there is no inaccuracy or breach.

(g)The Sellers and the Owners hereby waive any right to (i) seek contribution or other payment with respect to any Damages for which the Sellers are required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to this Article IX or (ii) bring a claim against the current or former directors or officers of each of the Sellers as a result of Damages for which the Sellers are required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to this Article IX.
