If the Closing fails to occur on or prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Board adopts the Resolutions (the “Long-Stop Date”), each Buyer and the Seller shall each have the right (but not the obligation) to terminate this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereunder. If any Buyer or the Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 1(f), the parties hereto shall be relieved of any and all of their obligations under this Agreement without prejudice to any accrued rights they may have and the Seller shall retain ownership of the Shares. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which commercial banks are open for normal business in Hong Kong.
