Enforceability of Civil Liabilities Sample Clauses

Enforceability of Civil Liabilities. We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. We incorporated in the Cayman Islands because of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands corporation, such as political and economic stability, an effective judicial system, a favorable tax system, the absence of foreign exchange control or currency restrictions and the availability of professional and support services. However, the Cayman Islands have a less developed body of securities laws that provide significantly less protection to investors as compared to the securities laws of the United States. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States. A portion of our assets, including certain Chinese patents, are located in China. In addition, some of our directors and officers are residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or our directors and officers, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

Furthermore, Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx (Hong Kong) LLP and Han Kun Law Offices have advised us that, as of the date of this prospectus supplement, no treaty or other form of reciprocity exists between the Cayman Islands and China governing the recognition and enforcement of judgments.

Enforceability of Civil Liabilities. The Corporation is a corporation incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (“BCBCA”). Certain of the Corporation’s directors, and some of the experts named in this prospectus, are residents of Canada or otherwise reside outside the United States. Concurrent with the filing of this prospectus, the Corporation has appointed an agent for service of process in the United States (described below), but it may be difficult for Shareholders that reside in the United States to effect service within the United States upon those directors and experts that are not resident in the United States. It may also be difficult for Shareholders that reside in the United States to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the Corporation’s civil liability and the civil liability of its directors, officers and experts under the U.S. federal securities laws. The Corporation has been advised by its Canadian counsel, Farris, Vaughan, Wxxxx & Mxxxxx LLP (“Fxxxxx’), that a judgment of a U.S. court predicated solely upon civil liability under U.S. federal securities laws or the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state within the United States, would probably be enforceable in Canada if the U.S. court in which the judgment was obtained assumed jurisdiction on the same basis that a court in Canada would assume jurisdiction. The Corporation has also been advised by Fxxxxx, however, that there is substantial doubt whether an action could be maintained in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon U.S. federal securities laws. The Corporation has filed with the SEC, concurrently with its registration statement on Form F-10 of which this prospectus is a part, an appointment of agent for service of process on Form F-X. Under the Form F-X, the Corporation has appointed Dxxxxxx X. Xxxxx as its agent for service of process in the United States in connection with any investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC, and any civil suit or action brought against or involving the Corporation in a U.S. court arising out of or related to or concerning the offering of the securities under this prospectus.
