SECTION 14
GOVERNING LAW AND ARBITRATION
14.1 | Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong, without giving effect to its conflicts of law principles. |
14.2 | Arbitration. |
(a) | Any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or the breach, termination or invalidity hereof or thereof (including the validity, scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision) (a “Dispute”), shall be finally resolved by arbitration in Hong Kong under the auspices of the Arbitration Center and in accordance with the Hong Kong International Arbitration Center Administered Arbitration Rules (the “HKIAC Arbitration Rules”) in force when the Notice of Arbitration (as contemplated under the HKIAC Arbitration Rules) is submitted and as may be amended by the rest of this Section 14.2. For the purpose of such arbitration, there shall be three arbitrators (the “Arbitration Board”). The Investors shall select one arbitrator and the Covenantors shall select one arbitrator. All selections shall be made within 30 days after the selecting Party gives or receives the demand for arbitration. Such arbitrators shall be freely selected, and the Parties shall not be limited in their selection to any prescribed list. The Chairman of the Arbitration Center shall select the third arbitrator. If any arbitrator to be appointed by a Party has not been appointed and consented to participate within 30 days after the selection of the first arbitrator, the relevant appointment shall be made by the Chairman of the Arbitration Center. |
(b) | The arbitrators shall decide any such dispute or claim strictly in accordance with the governing law specified in Section 14.1. Judgment upon any arbitral award rendered hereunder may be entered in any court having jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of the award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. |
(c) | In order to preserve its rights and remedies, any Party shall be entitled to seek any order for the preservation of property, including any interim injunctive relief, in accordance with applicable law from any court of competent jurisdiction or from the arbitration tribunal pending the final decision or award of the Arbitration Board. |

Nothing contained herein shall affect the right of any Party to serve such processes, notices or other papers in any other manner permitted by applicable law. |
26
(e) | The Parties agree to facilitate the arbitration by (i) cooperating in good faith to expedite (to the maximum extent practicable) the conduct of the arbitration, (ii) making available documents, books, records and personnel under their control in accordance with the HKIAC Arbitration Rules, (iii) conducting arbitration hearings to the greater extent possible on successive Business Days and (iv) using their best efforts to observe the time periods established by the HKIAC Arbitration Rules or by the Arbitration Board for the submission of evidence and briefs. |
(f) | The costs and expenses of the arbitration, including the fees of the Arbitration Board, shall be allocated between each Party as the Arbitration Board deems equitable. |
(g) | Any award made by the Arbitration Board shall be final and binding on each of the Parties that were parties to the dispute. The Parties expressly agree to waive the applicability of any laws and regulations that would otherwise give the right to appeal the decisions of the Arbitration Board so that there shall be no appeal to any court of law for the award of the Arbitration Board, and a Party shall not challenge or resist the enforcement action taken by any other Party in whose favor an award of the Arbitration Board was given. |
14.3 | Consolidation of Disputes. Where Disputes arise under this Agreement and under any of the other Transaction Documents which, in the reasonable opinion of the first arbitration panel to be appointed in any of the Disputes, are so closely connected that it is expedient for them to be resolved in the same proceedings, that arbitration panel shall have the power to order that the proceedings to resolve that Dispute shall be consolidated with those to resolve any of the other Disputes (whether or not proceedings to resolve those other Disputes have not yet been instituted), provided that no date for exchange of witness statements has been fixed.
