10. | GUARANTEE. |
10.1 Guarantee by the Guarantor of the Acquisition Vehicle’s Obligations. In consideration of the entry by the Investors into this Agreement and the making of the Tranche B Exchangeable Notes, the Guarantor, as principal obligator, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Investors and their successors, endorsees and assigns the due and punctual payment of the Principal Amount of the Tranche B Exchangeable Notes and the interest accrued thereon when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the stated maturity, by declaration of acceleration upon the occurrence of the Event of Default, by call for repayment or otherwise, and the due and punctual performance and observance by the Acquisition Vehicle of all of its obligations, agreements, covenants, commitments and undertakings under or pursuant to this Agreement (the “Guaranteed Obligations”) and agree to indemnify the Investors against all Losses which the Investors may suffer through or arising from any breach of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guarantee is given for the benefit of the Investors and their successors and assigns and shall be binding on the Guarantor and his successors, executors, and administrators.
27 |
10.2 Irrevocable and Continuity. The Guarantee is an irrevocable guaranty of payment (and not just of collection) and shall continue in effect notwithstanding any assumption of the Guaranteed Obligations by any other Person.
10.3 Guarantee Unconditional. The Guarantee set out in this Section 10 is in no way conditional upon any requirement that the Investors first attempt to collect or enforce any of the Guaranteed Obligations from or against the Acquisition Vehicle.
10.4 Primary Obligations. The Guarantor hereunder acknowledges and agrees that his obligations hereunder are primary and not secondary obligations pursuant to the terms of this Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby agrees to pay promptly to the Investors and perform promptly for the Investors on demand all of the Guaranteed Obligations whenever and to the extent the Acquisition Vehicle fails to pay and perform them punctually when due. The Guarantor hereby waives all special suretyship defenses and protest, notice of protest, demand for performance, diligence, notice of any other action at any time taken or omitted by the Investor and, generally, all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Section 10 and the Guaranteed Obligations, and which such Guarantor may otherwise assert against the Investors.
10.5 Effectiveness. This Section 10 shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Investors upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Acquisition Vehicle or otherwise. In the event that collection efforts are required, the Guarantor agrees to pay to the Investors all attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses that the Investors reasonably incur in the collection of the Guaranteed Obligations from the Guarantor.
10.6 Liability. The liability of the Guarantor under this Section 10 shall not be released or diminished by any variation of the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any forbearance, neglect, waiver or delay in seeking performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or any granting of time for such performance or any other fact or circumstance other than a specific written waiver by the Investors.
10.7 Indemnity. The Guarantor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investors from and against any and all Losses of any nature whatsoever occasioned by any act or default by the Acquisition Vehicle pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or under any documents or instruments executed or delivered pursuant thereto or by any failure on the part of the Acquisition Vehicle to observe and perform any or all of its covenants, undertakings and obligations pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any documents or instruments executed or delivered in furtherance thereof or pursuant thereto.
10.8 Primary Liability of Guarantor. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, and shall be absolute and unconditional and any monies or amounts expressed to be owing or payable by the Guarantor hereunder shall be recoverable from the Guarantor as principal debtor in respect thereof.
28 |
10.9 Obligations Continuing.
(a) The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full.
(b) Without prejudice to or in any way limiting or lessening the Guarantor’s liability and without obtaining the consent of or giving notice to the Guarantor, the Investors may grant time, extensions, indulgences, releases and discharges, and accept compositions from, or otherwise deal with the Acquisition Vehicle, the Merger Sub and the Guarantor, as the Investors may see fit.
10.10 Obligations Not Affected. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, be absolute and unconditional irrespective of the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement or any other document related hereto, and shall not be released, affected or reduced by any act, omission, default matter or thing whatsoever, occurring before, upon or after demand for payment hereunder (and whether or not known to the Guarantor, the Acquisition Vehicle or the Investors) which, but for this provision, might constitute a whole or partial defense to a claim against the Guarantor hereunder or might operate to release or otherwise exonerate the Guarantor from any of his obligations hereunder or otherwise affect such obligations, including without limitation:
(a) any limitation of status or power, disability, incapacity or other circumstances relating to Acquisition Vehicle;
(b) any irregularity, defect, unenforceability or invalidity in respect of any indebtedness or other obligation of the Acquisition Vehicle to the Investors;
(c) the taking or enforcing or exercising or the refusal or neglect to take or enforce or exercise any security, guarantee, rights or remedies from or against the Acquisition Vehicle or its assets or the release or discharge or failure to renew any such security, guarantee, rights or remedies;
(d) the granting of time, extensions, renewals, compromises, concessions, waivers and other indulgences to the Acquisition Vehicle;
(e) any amendment or supplement to or other variation of the Guaranteed Obligations or other obligations of the Acquisition Vehicle to the Investors;
(f) any change in the control, business, assets, capital structure or constitution of the Acquisition Vehicle or the Guarantor or any merger or amalgamation of the Acquisition Vehicle;

29 |
(h) any disability or any other defense of the Acquisition Vehicle or any other Person and any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Guarantor) which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the Guarantor or might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or a guarantor or otherwise; or
(i) any omission, in whole or in part, by the Investors to prove their claim or interest in any winding up, insolvency, bankruptcy or liquidation of the assets of the Acquisition Vehicle or the Guarantor.
10.11 Postponement. All indebtedness and liability of the Acquisition Vehicle to the Guarantor, present or future, actual or contingent, is hereby postponed to the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any payments or proceeds which are received by the Guarantor on account of any indebtedness or liability of the Acquisition Vehicle to the Guarantor shall be received by the Guarantor in trust for the Investors and shall be held in trust by the Guarantor and forthwith, upon demand, paid to the Investors to be applied on account of the Guaranteed Obligations.
10.12 No Withholding or Deduction. Any amount payable by the Guarantor shall be paid in full on demand without any deduction or withholding whatsoever (whether in respect of set-off, counterclaim, duties, charges, taxes or otherwise).
10.13 Claims by Guarantor. The Guarantor represents to and undertakes with the Investors that he has not taken and will not take any security in respect of his liability under this Guarantee from the Acquisition Vehicle. So long as any of the Guaranteed Obligations remain unpaid or undischarged, the Guarantor hereby waives (but only with respect to the Investors and not as to any other Persons) all rights to subrogation arising out of any payment by the Guarantor under this Section 10 and shall not exercise any right of subrogation or any other rights of a surety or enforce any security or other right or claim against the Acquisition Vehicle or claim in the insolvency or liquidation of the Acquisition Vehicle in competition with the Investors. If the Guarantor receives any payment or benefit in breach of this Section 10, it shall hold the same upon trust for the Investors as a continuing security for the Guaranteed Obligations.
10.14 Default. In the event the Guarantor or the Acquisition Vehicle defaults for any reason in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantor shall forthwith upon demand unconditionally perform (or use his reasonable best efforts to procure performance of) and satisfy (or use his reasonable best efforts to procure the satisfaction of) the Guaranteed Obligations in regard of which such default has been made in accordance with this Agreement and so that the Investors receive the same benefits as they would have received if the Guaranteed Obligations had been duly performed and satisfied by the Guarantor and the Acquisition Vehicle.
11. | TERMINATION. |
11.1 Termination. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and without prejudice to the termination provisions set out in each of the other Transaction Documents, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby may, by written notice given at any time prior to the Closing, be terminated:
30 |
(a) by the Investors and the Investees, upon their mutual written consent;
(b) by the Investors or the Acquisition Vehicle pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof;
(c) by the Investors, if a material breach of any provision of this Agreement has been committed by any of the Investees and such breach (i) would result in the failure of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 7 or (ii) cannot be cured by the Long-Stop Date, in which case, the Investees are required to pay to the Investors break costs of US$5,000,000 within five (5) Business Days of demand by the Investors;
(d) by the Investees, if a material breach of any provision of this Agreement has been committed by any of the Investors and such breach cannot be cured by the Long-Stop Date, in which case, each of the Investors are required to pay to the Investees their respective attributable amounts of the break costs of US$5,000,000 pro-rata to their respective portions of the Principal Amount within five (5) Business Days of demand by the Investees; or
(e) by either the Investors or the Investees, if any Governmental Authority shall have issued, enacted, entered, promulgated or enforced any judgment, order, injunction rule or decree, or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of any material transactions contemplated herein and such judgment, order, injunction rule or decree or other action shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(e) shall not be available to any Party that has failed to fully comply with its obligations hereunder in any manner that shall have proximately contributed to the occurrence of such judgment, order, injunction rule or decree or other action.
11.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof, this Agreement (other than Section 10, this Section 11 (Confidentiality), Section 12.3 (Indemnity), Section 12.5 (Governing Law), Section 12.8 (Notices), Section 12.9 (Finder’s Fee), Section 12.10 (Transaction Costs), and Section 12.14 (Dispute Resolution) hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect) shall forthwith become null and void and no Party hereto (or any of their respective representatives or shareholders) shall have any Liability to any other Party hereto, except as provided in this Section 11.2. The Parties hereby agree that in the event this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 11.1(c) or Section 11.1(d), by the Investors or the Acquisition Vehicle, as applicable, the right to receive the payment of break costs by the Investors or the Acquisition Vehicle, as applicable, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of such party with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
12. | MISCELLANEOUS. |
12.1 Survival. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Investees and the Investors contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement; provided, however, that all claims with respect to the representations and warranties set forth herein must be asserted prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Survival Date”).
31 |
12.2 Availability of Legal Advice. The Parties acknowledge that each Party has had the opportunity to have the advice of their respective counsel. No interpretation should be made against the drafter of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.
12.3 Indemnity.
(a) Indemnity. The Investees, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Investors, and, if applicable, their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, agents and their respective successors and assigns (each, an “Indemnitee”), against any and all Indemnifiable Losses to such Indemnitee (whether or not involving a third-party claim), directly or indirectly based on, arising out of, resulting from, relating to, or in connection with:
(i) any material breach of or inaccuracy in any of the Investee Warranties made by any of the Investees in this Agreement or any other representation or warranty made by an Investee in any certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, other than those, if any, that have been waived in writing by the Investors;
(ii) any material breach or violation of or failure to materially perform any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation of any of the Investees set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, other than those, if any, that have been waived in writing by the Investors; or
(iii) any claim by any Governmental Authority in connection with Taxes or Tax Benefits of any Group Company.
(b) For purposes of this Section, “Indemnifiable Loss” means, with respect to any Indemnitee, any action, cost, damage, disbursement, expense, liability, loss, obligation, penalty or settlement of any kind or nature, whether direct or indirect, including, but not limited to: (i) interest or other carrying costs, penalties, legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses incurred in the investigation, collection, prosecution and defense of claims and amounts paid in settlement, that may be imposed on or otherwise incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee; and (ii) any Taxes that may be payable by such Indemnitee as a result of the indemnification of any Indemnifiable Loss hereunder.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstance shall the Investees be liable for any Indemnifiable Losses in the aggregate that exceeds the Principal Amount together with all interest accrued thereon; provided, however, that the preceding limitations in this Section 12.3(c) hereof shall not apply to Indemnifiable Losses with respect to breaches of those representations and warranties related to (A) Corporate Status; (B) Power and Authority; Authorization; (C) Enforceability; (D) Title; Liens; and (E) Tax Matters.
32 |
(d) Any indemnification claim brought by any Indemnitee against the Investees shall be made by delivery of a written notice thereof prior to the Survival Date (the “Claim Notice”). Such Claim Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the claim. In case of a claim brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an affiliate of a party to this Agreement with respect to which the Indemnitee provides a Claim Notice, the Investees shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that they shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnitee and shall pay as incurred all the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investees shall pay, as incurred, the fees and expenses of the counsel retained by the Indemnitee in the event (i) the Indemnitee and the Investees shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding include both the Indemnitee Party and Investees and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.
(e) All sums payable under this Section 12.3 shall be paid in full without set-off or counterclaim or any restriction or condition and free and clear of any Tax or other deductions or withholdings of any nature. If Investees making the indemnification payment are required by any law or regulation to make any deduction or withholding (on account of tax or otherwise) from any payment, the Investees shall, together with such payment, pay such additional amount as will ensure that the Indemnitee receives (free and clear of any Tax or other deductions or withholdings) the full amount which it would have received if no such deduction or withholding had been required. In such a case, the Investees shall promptly forward to the Indemnitee copies of official receipts or other evidence showing that the full amount of any such deduction or withholding has been paid over to the relevant Tax authority.
(f) To the extent that the Investors have actual Knowledge of a fact or condition that would result in a breach of an Investee Warranty as of the execution date of this Agreement and the Investors nevertheless execute this Agreement, the Investors shall have no right to later make an indemnification or other claim based on such breach. If, subsequent to execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Investors become aware of a fact or condition that arises after the date hereof and that would result in an Investee Warranty being untrue as of the Closing Date, then the Investor shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify the Investees in writing of the same. If, after the Closing Date, the Investors become aware that an Investee Warranty was not true when made by the Investees with respect to such Investee Warranty will materially and adversely affect the Investors’ interest and the occurrence of such disclosed event or matter is caused, directly or indirectly, by the willful and intentional acts of any of the Investees or their Affiliates, then the Investors shall retain the right to bring a claim against the Investees or their Affiliates in accordance with Section 12.3.
33 |
12.4 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the Parties hereto whose rights or obligations hereunder are affected by such terms and conditions. This Agreement, and the rights and obligations herein, may be assigned following the Closing by each Investor to any other person in the Investor’s sole discretion. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the Parties hereto or their respective permitted successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, upon the transfer of all or part of the Note Amount to any future noteholder(s) by the Investors, such future noteholder(s) shall enjoy the rights and benefits to which the Investors are entitled in respect of such Note Amount as if the future noteholder(s) were Party(ies) to this Agreement.
12.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of Hong Kong.
12.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts transmitted by facsimile shall be deemed to be originals.

12.11 Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the duly authorized written consent of: (a) the Investors; (b) the Acquisition Vehicle; and (c) the Founder. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 12.11 shall be binding on all Parties, including all their permitted assigns and transferees.

This Agreement and the Transaction Documents, together with all schedules and exhibits hereto and thereto, constitute the entire agreement among the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matters hereof and no Party shall be liable or bound to any other Party in any manner by any warranties, representations, or covenants except as specifically set forth herein or therein; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall be deemed to terminate or supersede the provisions of any confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements executed by the Parties hereto prior to the date of this Agreement, all of which agreements shall continue in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with their respective terms.
35 |
12.14 Dispute Resolution.
(a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the interpretation, breach, termination or validity hereof (each, a “Dispute”), shall be resolved through consultation. Such consultation shall begin within seven (7) days after one Party hereto has delivered to the other Party hereto a written request for such consultation. If within thirty (30) days following the date on which such written request is given the dispute cannot be resolved, the dispute shall be submitted to arbitration upon the request of a Party with written notice to the other Parties.
(b) The arbitration shall be conducted in Hong Kong under the auspices of the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “HKIAC”). There shall be three arbitrators. Each of the following: (i) the claimant to the Dispute, or in the case of more than one claimant, all such claimants acting collectively (the “Claimant”), and (ii) the respondent to the Dispute, or in the case of more than one respondent, all such respondents acting collectively (the “Respondent”), shall each select one arbitrator within thirty (30) days after giving or receiving 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 Claimant and the Respondent shall jointly select the third arbitrator, who shall be qualified to practice law in Hong Kong. If any Party does not appoint an arbitrator who has consented to participate within thirty (30) days after selection of the first arbitrator, the relevant appointment shall be made by the Chairman of the HKIAC.
(c) The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English. The arbitration tribunal shall apply the Arbitration Rules of the HKIAC in effect at the time of the arbitration. However, if such rules are in conflict with the provisions of this Section 12.14, including the provisions concerning the appointment of arbitrators, the provisions of this Section 12.14 shall prevail.
(d) The arbitrators 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.
(e) In making their award, the arbitrators shall have the right to award attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses. Each Party hereto shall cooperate 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 arbitration proceedings, subject only to any confidentiality obligations binding on such Party and the provisions in this Section 12.14. The award of the arbitration tribunal 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 cooperate and use their respective best efforts to take all actions reasonably required to facilitate the prompt enforcement in the PRC or in any other jurisdiction of any arbitration award made by the tribunal. Subject to the provisions in this Section 12.14, a Party shall be entitled to seek preliminary injunctive relief, if possible, from any court of competent jurisdiction pending the constitution of the arbitral tribunal.
36 |
(f) The Parties hereby waive any rights under the Arbitration Xxx 0000 or otherwise to appeal any arbitration award to, or to seek determination of a preliminary point of law by, the courts of the PRC or the United States. The Parties further expressly waive their right to any form of recourse from or against such arbitral proceedings or arbitral award to any judicial authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may seek to enforce such arbitral award under relevant Hong Kong laws and convention. The arbitral tribunal shall not be authorized to take or provide, and none of the Parties shall be authorized to seek from any judicial authority, any interim measures of protection or pre-award relief against the Investors, any provisions of the HKIAC Arbitration Rules notwithstanding.
(g) For the purposes of any court proceedings in accordance with or relating to the provisions of this Section 12.14, each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any courts of competent jurisdiction. Each Party hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process or any other legal summons out of such courts in respect of any such proceedings by mailing copies thereof by registered airmail postage prepaid to its address specified herein. Each Party covenants and agrees that, so long as it has any obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, it shall maintain a duly appointed agent to receive service of process and any other legal summons in Hong Kong for purposes of any such proceedings brought by any other Party and shall keep each other Party advised of the identity and location of such agent.
(h) To the extent that each Party may be entitled in any jurisdiction to claim for itself or its assets immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement from any suit, execution, attachment (whether in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other legal process or to the extent that in any jurisdiction such immunity (whether claimed or not) may be attributed to it or its assets, such Party irrevocably agrees not to claim and irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction.
(i) To the extent that each Party may, in any proceeding brought pursuant to this Section 12.14 arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or the breach, termination or invalidity hereof or thereof, be entitled to the benefit of any provision requiring any Party in such suit, action or proceeding to post security for the costs of such Party or Parties, or to post a bond or to take similar action, each such Party hereby irrevocably waives such benefit, in each case to the fullest extent now or in the future permitted under applicable Laws.
37 |
(j) Each of the Parties hereto recognizes and acknowledges that a breach by it of any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement will cause the other Party to sustain damage for which it would not have an adequate remedy at Law for money damages, and therefore each of the Parties hereto agrees that in the event of any such breach the aggrieved Party shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance, or its equivalent in the jurisdiction that specific performance is not available, of such covenants and agreements, and injunctive and other equitable relief, or their respective equivalent in the jurisdiction that such injunctive and other equitable relief is not available, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity.

If there are only two Parties to the arbitration, and such Parties cannot agree on the one (1) arbitrator appointed by the HKIAC, then, if there are only two (2) parties to the arbitration, each party shall appoint one (1) arbitrator and the two arbitrators so appointed shall appoint the third arbitrator, who shall serve as chair of the arbitral tribunal, within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator. Any arbitrator not timely selected shall be appointed by the HKIAC. The two party appointed arbitrators shall appoint the third arbitrator, who shall serve as chair of the arbitral tribunal, within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator. If the third arbitrator is not timely appointed such arbitrator shall be appointed by the HKIAC and such arbitrator shall be qualified to practice law in Hong Kong. The language of the arbitration shall be English. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in the HKIAC Rules or otherwise, the arbitration tribunal shall not have the power to award injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy of any kind against any party hereto unless such award both (i) is expressly appealable to and subject to de novo review by the courts of Hong Kong, and (ii) would not, if upheld, have the effect of impairing, restricting, or imposing any conditions on the right or ability of such party to conduct its respective business operations or to make or dispose of any other investments. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the parties, and the prevailing party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award. The prevailing party shall be further entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled. During the course of the arbitration tribunal’s adjudication of the dispute, this Charge shall continue to be performed except with respect to the part in dispute and under adjudication. |

Dear Sirs
Yucheng Technologies Limited (“Yucheng”), New Sihitech Limited (“NSL”), New Sihitech Acquisition Limited (“NSAL”), Ahead Billion Venture Limited (“ABV”), and Port Wing Development Company Limited (“Port Wing”) (together, the “Companies” and each a “Company”)
This opinion as to the laws of the British Virgin Islands is addressed to you in connection with the Subject Agreements listed in Schedule 1 hereto entered into by the Companies.
For the purposes of this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the Documents listed, and in some cases defined, in Schedule 2 to this opinion.
Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalised terms have the meanings assigned to them in the Pledge Agreements.
1. | Assumptions |
In stating our opinion we have assumed:
(1) | the authenticity, accuracy and completeness of all Documents and other documentation examined by us submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic original documents of all Documents and other such documentation submitted to us as certified, notarised, faxed, emailed or photostatic copies, and that each of the Documents and other such documentation which was received by electronic means is complete, intact and in conformity with the transmission as sent; |
(2) | the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures and seals on the Documents and in particular that any signatures on the Subject Agreements are the true signatures of the persons authorised to execute the same by the Resolutions; |
(3) | the authority, capacity and power of each of the persons signing the Documents (other than the Companies in respect of the relevant Subject Agreements); |
(4) | that any representation, warranty or statement of fact or law, other than as to the laws of the British Virgin Islands, made in any of the Documents is true, accurate and complete, and that the choice of law specified as being the governing law in the Documents has been made in good faith and is regarded as a valid and binding selection which will be upheld by the courts of Hong Kong as a matter of the laws of that jurisdiction and all other relevant laws (other than the laws of the British Virgin Islands); |
(5) | that the relevant Subject Agreements constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the parties thereto, other than the Companies, under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or its jurisdiction of formation or any other jurisdiction other than the British Virgin Islands; |
(6) | that the Subject Agreements will effect, and will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with their terms, under the laws of Hong Kong by which they are expressed to be governed, and the Subject Agreements are in the proper legal form to be enforced under such laws; |
(7) | that the Subject Agreements have been validly authorised, executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto, other than the Companies as relevant, and the performance thereof is within the capacity and powers of each such party thereto (other than the relevant Company), and that each such party to which the relevant Company purportedly delivered the Subject Agreements has actually received and accepted delivery of such Subject Agreements; |
(8) | there are no agreements, resolutions, documents or arrangements other than the Documents expressly referred to herein as having been examined by us which would materially affect, amend or vary the transactions envisaged in the relevant Subject Agreements or restrict the powers and authority of the directors of either of the Companies in any way; |
(9) | that there are no provisions of the laws or regulations of any jurisdiction other than the British Virgin Islands which would be contravened by the execution or delivery of the Subject Agreements or which would have any implication in relation to the opinions expressed herein and that, in so far as any obligation under, or action to be taken under, the Subject Agreements is required to be performed or taken in any jurisdiction outside the British Virgin Islands, the performance of such obligation or the taking of such action will constitute a valid and binding obligation of each of the parties thereto under the laws of that jurisdiction and will not be illegal by virtue of the laws of that jurisdiction; |
(10) | that the Resolutions are in full force and effect, have not been rescinded, either in whole or in part, and properly record the resolutions duly adopted by the board of directors of the relevant Company(ies) and that there is no matter affecting the authority of the directors of the relevant Company to effect entry by that Company into the relevant Subject Agreements, not disclosed by the Constitutional Documents or the Resolutions of the relevant Company, which would have any adverse implication in relation to the opinions expressed herein; |
(11) | that no director of either of the Companies has a financial interest in or other relationship to a party to any transaction to be entered into pursuant to the relevant Subject Agreements or, if such an interest does exist, the material facts of the interest of each director have been disclosed in good faith or are known by the other directors; |
(12) | that the records which were the subject of the Company Searches and Litigation Searches were complete and accurate at the time of such search and disclosed all information which is material for the purposes of this opinion and such information has not since the date of the Company Searches nor the date of the Litigation Searches been materially altered; |
(13) | the accuracy and completeness of the Registered Agent’s Certificate and the Registers of each Company as at the date hereof; |
(14) | that the Companies are not land owning companies for the purposes of section 242 of the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (the “BCA”) meaning that neither of the Companies nor any of their respective subsidiaries has an interest in any land in the British Virgin Islands; |
(15) | the Companies do not carry on any activities (other than as a consequence of performing their respective obligations under the Documents) which would require them to be licensed under British Virgin Islands financial services legislation as described in Schedule 3; and |
(16) | that each of the Companies is the sole legal and beneficial owner of all the shares it is purporting to charge or assign pursuant to the relevant Subject Agreements and it holds the same free from any encumbrances whatsoever save for the relevant Subject Agreements. |
2. | Opinion |
Based upon and subject to the foregoing assumptions and subject to the reservations set out below and to any matters not disclosed to us, we are of the opinion that:
(1) | Yucheng, ABV and Port Wing are companies limited by shares duly incorporated under the International Business Companies Act, Cap. 291 and automatically re-registered under the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (the “BCA”), validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. NSL [and NSAL] is a company [are companies] limited by shares duly incorporated under the BCA, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Each Company is a separate legal entity and possesses the capacity to xxx and be sued in its own name. |
(2) | Each Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver, and perform its respective obligations under the relevant Subject Agreements and to take all action as may be necessary to complete the transactions contemplated thereby. |
(3) | The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Companies of the relevant Subject Agreements to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby by each of the Companies do not and will not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (i) any requirement of any law or any regulation of the British Virgin Islands or (ii) the Constitutional Documents of the relevant Company. |
(4) | The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Companies of the relevant Subject Agreements to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby by each of the Companies have been duly authorised by all necessary corporate action on the part of each of the Companies. |
(5) | Each of the Subject Agreements has been duly executed by and on behalf of the relevant Companies to which they are parties in the manner authorised in the Resolutions of the relevant Companies. |
(6) | The obligations of the Companies as set out in the relevant Subject Agreements constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the relevant Company(ies), enforceable against the relevant Company(ies) in accordance with their terms and would be so treated in the courts of the British Virgin Islands. Please note however the reservation at paragraph 3. (10) below. |
(7) | It is not necessary in order to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence in proceedings of the obligations of each of the Companies under the relevant Subject Agreements to which it is a party or the rights of the Investors that the Subject Agreements or any other document be notarised, filed, registered or recorded in the British Virgin Islands, except that: |
(i) | each of the Companies is required by section 162 of the BCA to keep a register of charges and on the basis that the Subject Agreements create charges over the assets of each of the Companies as that term is understood under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, details of the charges must be entered in the Register of Charges of each of the Companies as maintained at the Companies’ registered offices or at the office of the Companies’ registered agent (the “Private Register”); and |
(ii) | in order to ensure the preservation of priority of the security interests created by the Subject Agreements, particulars of those documents must be registered pursuant to section 163 of the BCA in the approved form with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs of the British Virgin Islands in the public Register of Registered Charges for the Company as maintained at the Registry of Corporate Affairs of the British Virgin Islands (the “Public Register”). |
(8) | Assuming that the execution and delivery of the Share Charges was in compliance with the governing law of those documents, being the laws of Hong Kong, and creates a valid charge over the shares of NSL and Yucheng respectively under those laws, then such charge will be recognized in the British Virgin Islands and upon registration of the Share Charges as aforesaid, all registrations, filings and other actions necessary or desirable to protect the priority in the British Virgin Islands of such charge in the British Virgin Islands will have been taken, subject to any priority afforded to pre-existing registered charges. |
(9) | Based solely upon the Company Searches [and Registered Agent’s Certificates], [no] charges have been filed in relation to any of the Companies at the Registry of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands [or in the Private Registers over the assets of the Companies]. |
(10) | The obligations of each of the Companies under the relevant Subject Agreements to which it is a party constitute direct obligations that rank at least pari passu in priority of payment with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness (whether actual or contingent) issued, created or assumed by the relevant Company other than indebtedness which is preferred under the insolvency laws of the British Virgin Islands. Subject to registration in the Public Register set out in paragraph 2.(7)(ii) above, the security interests created by the Share Charges will, as a matter of British Virgin Islands law, rank in priority to all future security interests created over the same property by the relevant Company although it should be noted that: |
(i) | a registered floating charge will be postponed to a subsequently registered fixed charge unless the floating charge contains a prohibition or restriction on the power of the relevant Companies to create any future charge ranking in priority to or equally with the floating charge; and |
(ii) | such priority can be varied by agreement or consent. |
(11) | The choice of the laws of Hong Kong as the proper law to govern the Subject Agreements would be recognised, upheld and applied by the courts of the British Virgin Islands as a valid choice of law and the proper law of the Subject Agreements in proceedings brought before them in relation to the Subject Agreements, except for those laws (i) which such courts consider to be procedural in nature; (ii) which are revenue or penal laws; or (iii) the application of which would be inconsistent with public policy as that term is interpreted under British Virgin Islands law. |
(12) | The submission by the Companies to the jurisdiction of the courts of Hong Kong pursuant to the Subject Agreements would be recognised by the courts of the British Virgin Islands as a legal, valid and binding submission to the jurisdiction of such courts, if such submission is accepted by such courts and is legal, valid and binding under the laws of Hong Kong. |
(13) | Based solely upon the Company Searches and the Litigation Searches: |
(i) | there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending against any of the Companies in the civil proceedings cause book at the British Virgin Islands High Court Registry; and |
(ii) | no currently valid order or resolution for winding up of any of the Companies and no current notice of appointment of a receiver over any of the Companies or any of their respective assets appears on the records maintained in respect of the Companies. It should be noted that it is a requirement under Section 118 of the Insolvency Xxx 0000 that notice of appointment of a receiver be filed with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs, however a failure to file such notice does not invalidate the receivership but merely gives rise to penalties on the part of the receiver. |
(14) | No approval, consent, licence or authorisation of or by any governmental authority of the British Virgin Islands is required to be obtained by the Companies in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Companies of the relevant Subject Agreements or the performance of their respective obligations pursuant to the relevant Subject Agreements to which they are party. |
(15) | No taxes (including stamp duties, documentary, recording or other similar taxes), fees or charges imposed are payable to the government or other taxing authority in the British Virgin Islands under the laws of the British Virgin Islands in respect of the execution, delivery, filing or performance of the Subject Agreements or payments made under, or pursuant to, the Subject Agreements and the Companies will not be required by any laws of the British Virgin Islands to make any deduction or withholding from any payment it may make under the relevant Subject Agreements. There are no government controls or exchange controls in relation to the performance by the Companies of their respective obligations under the relevant Subject Agreements. |
(16) | There is no applicable usury or interest limitation law in the British Virgin Islands which would restrict the recovery of payments or the performance by the Companies of their respective obligations under the relevant Subject Agreements. |
(17) | Neither the Reciprocal Enforcement of Judgments Act (1922) or the Foreign Judgments (Reciprocal Enforcement) Act (1964) applies to judgments from courts in Hong Kong, and therefore any final and conclusive monetary judgment from courts in Hong Kong (a “foreign court”) for a definite sum against the Company based upon the Subject Agreements may be the subject of enforcement proceedings in the courts of the British Virgin Islands under the common law doctrine of obligation by action on the debt evidenced by the judgment of such competent foreign court. A final opinion as to the availability of this remedy should be sought when the facts surrounding the foreign court’s judgment are known, but, on general principles, we would expect such proceedings to be successful provided that: |
(i) | the foreign court had jurisdiction in the matter and the Company either submitted to such jurisdiction or was resident or carrying on business within such jurisdiction and was duly served with process; |
(ii) | the judgment given by the foreign court was not in respect of penalties, taxes, fines or similar fiscal or revenue obligations; |
(iii) | the judgment was not obtained by fraud; |
(iv) | recognition or enforcement of the judgment would not be contrary to British Virgin Islands public policy; and |
(v) | the proceedings pursuant to which judgment was obtained were not contrary to natural justice. |
(18) | The Companies are not entitled to immunity from suit or enforcement of a judgment on the ground of sovereignty or otherwise in the courts of the British Virgin Islands in respect of proceedings against them in relation to the relevant Subject Agreements and the execution of the relevant Subject Agreements and performance of its obligations under the relevant Subject Agreements by the relevant Company constitute private and commercial acts. |
(19) | Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, the Investors will not be deemed to be resident, domiciled or carrying on any commercial activity in the British Virgin Islands or subject to any tax in the British Virgin Islands by reason only of the execution, delivery and performance of the Subject Agreements nor is it necessary for the execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of the Subject Agreements that the Investors be authorised or qualified to carry on business in the British Virgin Islands. |
(20) | The submission by the Company to arbitration pursuant to the terms of the Subject Agreements is not contrary to British Virgin Islands law and would be recognised by the courts of the British Virgin Islands as a legal, valid and binding submission, if such submission is legal, valid and binding under the laws of Hong Kong. |
Pursuant to the British Virgin Islands Arbitration Ordinance 1976, an arbitration award made in the territory of a State, other than the United Kingdom, which is a signatory to the United Nations 1958 Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (the “New York Convention”) (a “Convention Award”) may be enforced in the BVI by a new action, or, with the leave of the High Court, in the same manner as a Judgment or Order of the High Court to the same effect. Where leave is given, Judgment may be entered in terms of the award. The High Court has a discretion to refuse leave to enforce a Convention Award which may only be exercised if the person against whom it is invoked proves that:
(i) | a party to the arbitration agreement was, under the law applicable to him, under some incapacity; |
(ii) | the arbitration agreement was not valid under the law to which the parties subjected it or, failing any indication thereon, under the law of the territory where the award was made; |
(iii) | he was not given proper notice of the appointment of the arbitrator or of the arbitration proceedings or was otherwise unable to present his case; |
(iv) | the award deals with a difference not contemplated by or not falling within the terms of the submission to arbitration or contains decisions on matters beyond the scope of the submission to arbitration (subject to the Court's discretion to grant leave partially to enforce); |
(v) | the composition of the arbitral authority or the arbitral procedure was not in accordance with the agreement of the parties or, failing such agreement, with the law of the territory where the arbitration took place; or |
(vi) | the award has not yet become binding on the parties or has been set aside or suspended by a competent authority of the territory in which, or under the law of which, the award was made. |
Enforcement of a Convention Award may also be refused if the award is in respect of a matter which is not capable of settlement by arbitration, or if it would be contrary to public policy to enforce the award.
(21) | Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is no requirement for a Company to have a stated authorized share capital. The maximum number of shares that the Company is authorised to issue (or that it may issue an unlimited number of shares) must, however, be stated in a Company’s Constitutional Documents. A Company may issue shares with or without par value and is not required to indicate the par value of shares. The rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to classes of shares must be specified, however, in a Company’s Constitutional Documents. Subject to a Company’s Constitutional Documents, the default rights which a share confers on its holder include the right to one vote at a meeting of the members of the Company or on any resolution of the members of the Company. A Company must keep a register of members in which the names and addresses of shareholders who hold registered shares must be entered together with the number and class of registered shares held. A shareholder, in relation to a Company, is a person whose name is entered on the register of members of the Company. |
3. Reservations
Our opinion is subject to the following reservations:
(1) | This opinion is limited to British Virgin Islands law as applied by the courts of the British Virgin Islands at the date hereof. We express no opinion as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any law other than British Virgin Islands law or any provision incorporated into any of the Subject Agreements by reference to a law other than that of the British Virgin Islands, or as to the availability in the British Virgin Islands of remedies which are available in other jurisdictions. |
(2) | We express no opinion as to the validity or binding effect of any provision of the Subject Agreements which provides for the severance of illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. |
(3) | We express no opinion as to the commerciality of the transactions envisaged in the Subject Agreements or, save as expressly stated in this opinion, whether the Subject Agreements and the transaction envisaged therein achieve the commercial, tax, legal, regulatory or other aims of the parties to the Subject Agreements. |
(4) | The term “good standing” as used in this opinion means solely that each of the Company has paid its annual licence fees to the Registry of Corporate Affairs. Failure to pay its annual licence fees would make the relevant Company not in good standing and liable to be struck off the Register of Companies and eventually cease to exist under the laws of the British Virgin Islands if these fees and any penalties are not paid within a period of ten years from the date on which it was struck off the Register of Companies. |
(5) | We express no opinion as to the validity or binding effect of any provision in the Subject Agreements which provides that either of the Companies will not exercise its statutory powers. This may constitute an unlawful xxxxxx on the statutory powers of the relevant Company. |
(6) | Any provision in the Subject Agreements that certain calculations or certificates will be conclusive and binding will not be effective if such calculations or certificates are fraudulent or erroneous on their face and will not necessarily prevent juridical enquiries into the merits of any claim by an aggrieved party. |
(7) | We express no opinion as to whether the acceptance, execution or performance of each of the Company’s obligations under the Subject Agreements will result in the breach of or infringe any other agreement, deed or document (other than the relevant Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association) entered into by or binding on the relevant Company. |
(8) | We express no opinion as to the validity or binding effect of any provision in the Subject Agreements for the payment of a specified rate of interest on the amount of a judgment after the date of judgment. |
(9) | The Company Searches and the Litigation Searches are not conclusive and it should be noted that the Company Searches and the Litigation Searches do not reveal: |
(i) | details of matters which have not been lodged for registration or have been lodged for registration but not actually registered at the time of the searches; |
(ii) | details of any proceedings which have been filed but not actually entered in the records of proceedings at the time of the searches. |
(10) | The term “enforceable” as used in this opinion means that a document is of a type and form enforced by the British Virgin Islands courts. It does not mean that each obligation will be enforced in accordance with its terms. Certain rights and obligations may be qualified by inconclusiveness of certificates, doctrines of good faith and fair conduct, the availability of equitable remedies and other matters. We draw your attention to the following: |
(i) | enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganisation and other laws of general application relating to or affecting the rights of creditors; |
(ii) | enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity (i.e. equitable remedies such as specific performance may not be available, inter alia, where damages are considered to be an adequate remedy); |
(iii) | claims may become barred under the statutes of limitation or may be or become subject to defences of set-off or counterclaim; |
(iv) | it is our view that in the event of proceedings being brought in the British Virgin Islands in respect of a monetary obligation in connection with the Subject Agreements, it is likely to be expressed in the currency in which such claim is made, since the courts have power to grant a monetary judgment expressed otherwise than in the currency of the British Virgin Islands. With respect to winding up proceedings, British Virgin Islands law may require that all debts and claims are converted into U.S. Dollars (the currency of the British Virgin Islands) at an exchange rate prevailing on the date of the winding up. Currency indemnity provisions have not been tested, so far as we are aware, in the courts of the British Virgin Islands; |
(v) | a certification, determination, calculation or designation of any relevant party to the foregoing instruments as to any matter provided therein might be held by the courts of the British Virgin Islands not to be conclusive, final and binding if, for example, it could be shown to have an unreasonable or arbitrary basis or in the event of manifest error; |
(vi) | a British Virgin Islands court may not necessarily award costs and disbursements in litigation in accordance with contractual provisions; |
(vii) | we express no opinion as to the extent to which a British Virgin Islands court would, in the event of any relevant illegality, sever the offending provisions and enforce the remainder of the transaction of which such provisions form a part, notwithstanding any express provisions in this regard; |
(viii) | enforcement may be limited or prevented by reason of fraud, misrepresentation, mistake or public policy; |
(ix) | enforcement may be limited by the principle of forum non conveniens or analogous principles; and |
(x) | enforcement may be affected by the priority accorded to the Security Documents as set out in paragraph 2.(7). |
(11) | Obligations that are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside the British Virgin Islands may not be enforceable under the laws of the British Virgin Islands to the extent that such performance would be contrary to public policy under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. |
(12) | We express no opinion as to the availability of equitable remedies such as specific performance or injunctive relief, or as to any matters which are within the discretion of the courts of the British Virgin Islands in respect of any obligations of the relevant Company as set out in the Subject Agreements. In particular, we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any present or future waiver of any provision of law (whether substantive or procedural) or of any right or remedy which might otherwise be available presently or in the future under the Subject Agreements. |
(13) | A British Virgin Islands court may refuse to give effect to any provisions of the Subject Agreements in respect of costs of unsuccessful litigation brought before the British Virgin Islands court or where that court has itself made an order for costs. |
(14) | [Neither the Registered Agent’s Certificate nor the Company Search revealed the existence of a Register of Mortgages, Charges and other Encumbrances. As the Yucheng, ABV and Port Wing were formerly governed by the IBC Act, it is important to note that the IBC Act did not require companies to maintain a register of mortgages, charges and other encumbrances and therefore particulars of any security granted whilst Yucheng, ABV and Port Wing were subject to the IBC Act may not have been kept at the Company’s Registered Office or recorded on the Register of Charges at the Registry.] |

This opinion is addressed to you solely for your benefit and is neither to be transmitted to any other person, nor relied upon by any other person (other than your professional advisers) or for any other purpose nor quoted or referred to in any public document nor filed with any governmental agency or person, without our prior written consent, except as may be required by law or regulatory authority. Further, this opinion speaks as of its date and is strictly limited to the matters stated herein and we assume no obligation to review or update this opinion if applicable law or the existing facts or circumstances should change.

MR. HONG WEIDONG
F9 Tower D,
Beijing Global Trade Centre,
36 North Third Ring Road East,
Dongcheng District,
Beijing, PRC 100013
[Ÿ] 2012
Dear Sirs,
Re: Project Theta
We are lawyers qualified in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and are qualified to issue opinions on the laws of the PRC. We have acted as your PRC counsel in relation to the subscription by CSOF Fintech Limited, and CEL Fintech Limited (the “Investors”) of an aggregate of US$48 million of Exchangeable Notes of New Sihitech Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and wholly owned by Mr. Hong Weidong, which are exchangeable into the Shares of Yucheng Technologies Limited (the “Company”) pursuant to the terms and conditions as set out in the Exchangable Notes Subscription Agreement entered into by and among Hong Weidong, New Sihitech Limited and the Investors dated [Ÿ] August 2012 (the “Agreement”) (the “Transaction”), and the ancillary agreements and any other documents, instruments, certificates entered into or to be entered into pursuant to or in connection with the Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”).
In connection with the Transaction, we have been asked to provide this opinion as to the PRC subsidiaries of the Company (as listed in Annex A, together, the “PRC Subsidiaries”, each a “PRC Subsidiary”) and as to certain matters relating to the PRC laws. This opinion is furnished pursuant to the Agreement.
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings described in the Agreement.
In rendering this opinion we have examined copies of the documents as we have considered necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion. Where certain facts were not independently established by us, we have relied upon certificates or statements issued or made by relevant governmental authorities and appropriate representatives of the PRC Subsidiaries. In giving this opinion, we have made the following assumptions:
(a) | each of the Transaction Documents is legal, valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their respective governing laws in any and all respect subject, as to enforceability, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles; |
(b) | that any document submitted to us still exist and have not been varied, cancelled or superseded by some other document or agreement or action of which we are not aware after due inquiry; |
(c) | that all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic, and that all documents submitted to us as copies conform to their originals; |
(d) | that all documents have been validly authorized, executed and delivered by all of the parties thereto other than the PRC Subsidiaries; |
(e) | that the signatures, seals and chops on the documents submitted to us are genuine; and |
(f) | that all consents, licenses, permits, approvals, exemptions or authorizations required of or by, and any required registrations or filings with, any governmental authority or regulatory body of any jurisdiction other than the PRC in connection with the Transaction contemplated under the Transaction Documents have been obtained or made. |
In addition, we have assumed and have not verified the accuracy as to factual matters of each document we have reviewed (including, without limitation, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Founder, the Acquisition Vehicle and PRC Subsidiaries in the Transaction Documents).
Based upon the foregoing and having regard to legal considerations we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that, insofar as the laws of the PRC are concerned,
(1) | Each PRC Subsidiary has been duly incorporated and is validly existing under the laws of the PRC with all requisite legal right, power and authority (corporate or otherwise) to own, use, lease and operate its assets ; and the articles of association and the business license and other constitutional documents of each PRC Subsidiary, comply with the requirements of applicable PRC laws, including but not limited to the PRC Company Law, have been approved by and duly registered with the relevant PRC authorities and are in full force and effect; each of the PRC Subsidiaries can xxx and be sued in its own name under the PRC laws; |
(2) | Each of the PRC Subsidiaries is duly qualified and licensed to conduct its business in the manner presently conducted and as described in the Transaction Documents and its business license, in accordance with applicable PRC laws, regulations, rules, statutes, ordinances, guidelines, opinions, notices or circulars of the relevant PRC Governmental Authorities (as defined below) including, but not limited to, all PRC laws and regulations in relation to the software development industry. Each of the PRC Subsidiaries has obtained all necessary licenses, consents, franchises, permits, authorizations, approvals, certificates and other concessions of and from, and has made all necessary declarations and filings (hereinafter or hereinbefore referred to as the “PRC Governmental Authorizations”) with all PRC government authorities or body or any other regulator (including, without limitation, the Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”), the State Administration of Industry and Commerce (“SAIC”), the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) and/or their respective local branches) (hereinafter or hereinbefore referred to as the “PRC Governmental Authorities”) having jurisdiction over the PRC Subsidiaries that are necessary or desirable for it to own, lease, license and use its properties and assets and to conduct its business in the manner described in the Transaction Documents; |
(3) | Each PRC Subsidiary is a legal person with limited liability, and the liability of the relevant subsidiaries of the Yucheng Technologies Limited, a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Company”) in respect of equity interests in each PRC Subsidiary is limited to its capital contribution commitments therein; |
(4) | (i) All of the registered capital of each of the PRC Subsidiaries has been duly approved (as applicable), fully paid and are legally owned by their respective shareholder(s) and beneficiary owner(s), free and clear of any pledge, restriction upon voting and transfer or other encumbrances, claims, (ii) each of the PRC Subsidiaries has obtained all necessary approvals, authorizations, and orders, which are in full force and effect, and has made all necessary filings and registrations, which are required under the PRC laws for the ownership of their respective equity interest in each of the PRC Subsidiaries, and (iii) to our best knowledge after due and reasonable inquiry, there are no outstanding rights, warrants or options to acquire, or instruments convertible into or exchangeable for, nor any agreements or other obligations to issue or other rights to convert any obligation into, any equity interest in any of the PRC Subsidiary; |
(5) | There are no outstanding guarantees or contingent payment obligations of any of the PRC Subsidiaries in respect of indebtedness of third parties except as disclosed in the Transaction Documents; |

We are not aware of any circumstances which will give rise to such litigation, arbitration or governmental proceedings; |
(10) | No winding up, dissolution, bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings have been commenced or threatened, no notice of appointment of liquidator has been received, against any of the PRC Subsidiaries and no steps or proceedings have been taken or started to dissolve, declare bankrupt or liquidate any PRC Subsidiary or that might render any PRC Subsidiary insolvent, dissolved, declared bankrupt or liquidated, and no judgment has been rendered declaring any of the PRC Subsidiaries bankrupt or in any insolvency proceeding; |
(11) | Each of the PRC Subsidiaries has under its respective name good title to the properties as specified in the Disclosure Schedule set out in Exhibit B to the Agreement, and has obtained requisite land use rights certificate(s) and (where the property includes completed buildings) building ownership certificate(s) and (where land is granted directly by the relevant governmental authority) has entered into land grant contract(s) with the relevant governmental authority which is empowered to grant such land use rights in respect thereof; except to the extent disclosed in each of the Transaction Documents, there are no charges, liens, encumbrances or third party rights, conditions, planning consents, orders, regulations or other restrictions affecting any of such properties, and there are no consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations, clearances and qualifications of or with any PRC Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the PRC Subsidiary or any of their properties in the PRC which need to be obtained but have not been obtained and no conditions or regulations or orders which have to be satisfied but could not or may not be satisfied affecting such properties where the lack of such PRC Governmental Authorizations or the non-fulfilment of such condition, regulation or order could or might adversely affect the ability of the PRC Subsidiaries to utilize or develop such properties; |
(12) | To the best of our knowledge after due inquiry, the PRC Subsidiaries do not own or have rights in PRC real properties other than as set out in the Transaction Documents; |
(13) | Despite the lack of registration by the relevant landlords of certain leases, which does not affect the legality, effectiveness and enforceability of the leases under the PRC laws, each lease agreement to which any of the PRC Subsidiaries is a party is duly executed and legally binding; the leasehold interests of the PRC Subsidiaries are fully protected by the terms of the lease agreements, which are valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms under the PRC laws; the PRC Subsidiaries have obtained all rights to occupy or use the properties, self-owned or leased, required to conduct its Business; |
