10.10. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall be construed, to the extent feasible, so as to render the provision enforceable and to provide for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby on substantially the same terms as originally set forth herein, and if no feasible interpretation would save such provision, it shall be severed from the remainder of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect unless the severed provision is essential to the rights or benefits intended by the parties. In such event, the parties shall use best efforts to negotiate, in good faith, a substitute, valid and enforceable provision or agreement that most nearly effects the parties’ intent in entering into this Agreement.
10.11. Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure. The parties hereto agree to be bound by the confidentiality and non-disclosure provisions of Section 6 of the Rights Agreement.
10.12. Further Assurances.

The arbitration tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators to be appointed according to the UNCITRAL Rules. The languages of the arbitration shall be English and Chinese, in which all of the arbitrators shall be fluent. The parties understand and agree that this provision regarding arbitration shall not prevent any party from pursuing preliminary equitable or injunctive relief in a judicial forum pending arbitration in order to compel another party to comply with this provision, to preserve the status quo prior to the invocation of arbitration under this provision, or to prevent or halt actions that may result in irreparable harm. A request for such equitable or injunctive relief shall not waive this arbitration provision.
10.14. Expenses. The Company and the Investors will bear their respective legal and accountants’ fees and expenses with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided however, if the transaction proceeds to the First Closing, then the Company shall reimburse the Investors for their fees and expenses related to this transaction, which amount shall be deducted from the Subscription Price to be delivered at the First Closing and shall not exceed US$150,000.
10.15. Termination. If the First Closing has not been consummated as of the earlier of (i) two (2) months from the date first written above or (ii) December 31, 2006, this Agreement shall terminate in any and all respects and the Company, the PRC WFOE and the Investors each shall take any and all action necessary to remove Xxxx Xxxx and Xxxxx Xxxx from the board of directors of the PRC WFOE, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by all the parties. Such termination under this Section 10.15 shall be without prejudice to any claims for damages or other remedies that the parties may have under this Agreement or applicable law.
10.16. Carlyle Rights. Any rights of Carlyle or CAGP under this Agreement may, without prejudice to the rights of the Investors to exercise any such rights, be exercised by Carlyle Asia Investment Advisors Limited (“Carlyle Asia”) or any other fund manager of
Carlyle or their nominees (“Carlyle Manager”), unless Carlyle or CAGP has (i) given notice to the other parties that any such rights cannot be exercised by Carlyle Asia or a Carlyle Manager; and (ii) not given notice to the other parties that such notice which is given under this Section 10.16 has been revoked.
