Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such
breach theretofore or hereafter occurring. The waiver by either Party of any breach of
any provision of this Tenancy Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions herein contained. |
|
| 14.4 | | Prohibition Against Liens: Landlord covenants that so long as this
Tenancy Agreement is in effect neither Landlord nor any Landlord Agent shall grant or
permit any such Liens with respect to the Premises Land or the Premises, and no Liens
shall be granted or permitted with respect to the Complex, the Land or Landlord’s
Remaining Parcel which shall be superior to the rights of Tenant hereunder (including
the Related Agreements). |
|

lockouts, inclement weather, labor disputes, inability to obtain labor, materials,
fuels or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental restrictions, regulations,
controls, action or inaction, civil commotion, fire or other acts of God, and other
causes beyond the reasonable control of either Party to perform shall excuse the

prevention, delay, or stoppage, of any obligation hereunder. |

Tenancy Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally served, or in lieu of
personal service may be given by AR Registered Post or by internationally recognized
overnight courier at the addresses for the Parties set forth in the “Tenancy Summary”

hereto giving notice of same to the other Party in
accordance with this Section). Personally served notices shall be deemed to have

|
| 14.7 | | Value Added Tax / Goods and Services Tax: As of the date hereof, the
Parties acknowledge and agree that no goods and services tax, value added tax or any
other like tax (“GST”) has been instituted by any Malaysian governmental
authority including the Appropriate Authorities. If, however, any such GST legislation
is implemented during the Tenancy Term (“GST Legislation”) and any GST is
payable as a consequence of any supply made or deemed to be made or other matter or
thing done under or in connection with this Tenancy Agreement by any Party, it is the
intent of the Parties that such GST be borne equally by the |
11
| | | Parties. In such event,
the Party responsible under applicable law for the remittance of such GST (the “GST
Payor”) shall timely remit to the Appropriate Authority the full GST amount
then-owning. Upon presentation to the other party (the “GST Non-Payor”) of
evidence of such GST assessment and the corresponding remittance by the GST Payor, the
GST Non-Payor shall promptly reimburse the GST Payor for fifty percent (50%) of such
GST amount (but exclusive of any fine, penalty or interest paid or payable in
connection therewith due to a default of the GST Payor). The Parties agree to
cooperate with each other in the provision of any information or preparation of any
documentation that may be necessary or useful for obtaining any available mitigation,
reduction, refund or exemption from GST. The GST Payor further covenants and agrees to
use its reasonable efforts to obtain any available mitigation, reduction, refund or
exemption from GST and, upon receipt or recovery of any portion of the aforementioned
GST remittance, shall promptly pay to the GST Non-Payor of fifty percent (50%) of such
recovered amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that any sum payable
or amount to be used in the calculation of a sum payable expressed elsewhere in this
Agreement has been determined without regard to and does not include amounts to be
added on under this clause on account of GST. |
| 14.8 | | Miscellaneous: Time is of the essence with respect to the performance
of every provision of this Tenancy Agreement in which time of performance is a factor.
This Tenancy Agreement shall, subject to the provisions regarding assignment, apply to
and bind the respective heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of
Landlord and Tenant. Nothing in this Section is intended to confer personal liability
upon the officers or shareholders of Tenant or Landlord. When a Party is required to
do something by this Tenancy Agreement, it shall do so at its sole cost and expense
without right of reimbursement from the other Party unless specific provision is made
therefor. Landlord shall not become or be deemed a partner nor a joint venturer with
Tenant by reason of the provisions of this Tenancy Agreement. |

and agree that many critical and central terms and provisions relating to the letting of the
Premises to Tenant, such as, without limitation, utilities, easements, access rights and
shared use of facilities are to be set forth in the Related Agreements rather than being set
forth directly herein. Therefore, the terms and provisions of the Related Agreements shall
be deemed incorporated herein by reference for all purposes of this Tenancy Agreement. To
the extent such Related Agreements are signed subsequent to the execution of this Tenancy
Agreement, the Parties agree to amend this Tenancy Agreement as necessary to effectuate the
overall intent and
agreement of the Parties with respect to the short-term and long-term use, tenancy and
easement rights with respect to the Premises, Landlord’s Remaining Parcel and the Complex.
