China Growth has established disclosure controls and procedures for China Growth and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to China Growth is made known to the officers by others within China Growth. China Growth’s officers have evaluated the effectiveness of China Growth’s controls and procedures.

China Growth does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).
18

No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any Party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

8.2 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, China Growth shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to China Growth of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested.

If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is requested due to a mutilation thereof, China Growth may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.
8.3 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of Wealth Shareholders, China Growth and Wealth will be entitled to specific performance under this Agreement. The Parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
8.4 Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of China Growth, Wealth and the Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the liability of Wealth Shareholders arising directly or indirectly, under any Transaction Document of any and every nature whatsoever shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of Wealth Shareholders, and that no trustee, officer, other investment vehicle or any other affiliate of Wealth Shareholders or any investor, shareholder or holder of shares of beneficial interest of Wealth Shareholders shall be personally liable for any liabilities of Wealth Shareholders. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of China Growth, Wealth, and Wealth Shareholders acknowledges and agrees that the liability of the Shareholder arising directly or indirectly, under any Transaction Document of any and every nature whatsoever shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of the Shareholder, and that no trustee, officer, other investment vehicle or any other affiliate of the Shareholder or any investor, shareholder or holder of shares of beneficial interest of the Shareholder shall be personally liable for any liabilities of the Shareholder.
8.5 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”.
8.6 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible.

8.10 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of each of the other Parties.
