  (a)   the transferee, if not already bound by the provisions of this Joint Venture Agreement, executes the Deed of Ratification and Accession under which it agrees to be bound by and be entitled to the benefit of this Joint Venture Agreement as if it were an original party hereto in place of the transferor; and

22

 

  (b)   the Transferring Shareholder shall remain liable and be responsible for the due discharge, performance and observance of all its liabilities and obligations whether actual or contingent arising out of or on or in respect of or in connection with this Joint Venture Agreement and in respect of the Shares at any time up to the date of the Transfer, and subject to Clause 16.7 shall remain entitled to all rights and benefits arising out of or in connection with the Shares being Transferred at any time up to and including the date of Transfer.
17.   TRANSFER OF SHARES : CHANGE IN CONTROL
    CRL agrees with and undertakes to SCL that it shall at all times indirectly own and control not less than fifty per cent. (50%) of the issued share capital of Wuxi CRM and shall Control, and procure that its subsidiaries who are part of the shareholding structure of Wuxi CRM (the “CRM Shareholders”) Control, Wuxi CRM and further that CRL shall not, and shall procure that each CRM Shareholder shall not, mortgage, charge, pledge or otherwise encumber any of their shares or interests in any company or enter into any agreement or arrangement such as to effectively cede Control over Wuxi CRM, MAT and/or ANST to any third party (other than pursuant to the provisions of this Joint Venture Agreement). If CRL or any CRM Shareholder proposes to Transfer, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, any of the shares or interest therein held by it (including the beneficial interest thereof) with the consequence that at least fifty per cent. (50%) of the share capital of Wuxi CRM is owned or beneficially owned by a person or persons who were not shareholders or ultimate shareholders of Wuxi CRM as at the date of this Joint Venture Agreement or CRL ceases to have Control over Wuxi CRM, then, unless otherwise waived by the other Shareholders, this shall amount to a default entitling SCL to, inter alia, exercise its Default Put Option and the provisions of Clauses 21.4 to 21.16 shall apply mutatis mutandis.
18.   TAG-ALONG RIGHTS
18.1   Subject always to Clause 16, if Wuxi CRM or any Shareholder other than SCL desires to Transfer, in a single transaction or a series of related transaction, any of the Shares held by it in a bona fide sale, then Wuxi CRM or such Shareholder (the “Transferring Shareholder”) shall promptly give written notice (the “Notice of Transfer”) simultaneously to MAT and to SCL. The Notice of Transfer shall describe in reasonable detail the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer including, without limitation, the number of Shares to be transferred, the nature of such Transfer, the consideration to be paid, and the name and address of each prospective purchaser or transferee.
 
18.2   SCL shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice (the “Notice of Participation”) to MAT within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Notice of Transfer, to inform MAT in writing whether it elects to participate in the Transfer by the Transferring Shareholder on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Notice of Transfer. The Notice of Participation shall indicate the number of Shares SCL elects to Transfer pursuant to this Clause 18.2, up to that number of Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the aggregate number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Transfer by (b) SCL’s Shareholding Proportion at the time of the Transfer. SCL shall promptly deliver to MAT for Transfer to the prospective purchaser one or more share transfer forms, properly executed for Transfer, which represent the number of Shares which SCL elects to Transfer, together with the relevant share certificates. To the extent SCL exercises such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth above, the number of Shares that the Transferring Shareholder may Transfer in the transaction shall be correspondingly reduced.

23

 

18.3   To the extent SCL fails to elect to participate in the Transfer by the Transferring Shareholder, SCL shall be deemed to have consented to the Transfer by the Transferring Shareholder on the terms and conditions and to the proposed transferee set forth in the Notice of Transfer. At the same time, MAT shall Transfer the number of Shares which SCL has elected to Transfer to the proposed transferee on the terms set out in the Notice of Transfer. Any proposed Transfer on terms and conditions materially more favourable than those described in the Notice of Transfer or to a transferee not identified in such notice, as well as any subsequent proposed Transfer of any of the Shares held by the Transferring Shareholder, shall again be subject to the tag-along rights of SCL and shall require compliance by Transferring Shareholder with the procedures described in this Clause 18. The exercise or non-exercise of the rights of SCL hereunder to participate in one (1) or more sales by the Transferring Shareholder shall not adversely affect SCL’s rights to participate in subsequent sales of Shares by any Transferring Shareholder pursuant to this Clause 18.
 
18.4   Upon consummation of the Transfer of the Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Notice of Transfer, the Transferring Shareholder or MAT, as the case maybe, shall remit to SCL that portion of the proceeds to which SCL is entitled by reason of its participation in such Transfer. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase Shares from SCL exercising its tag-along rights hereunder, the Transferring Shareholder shall not Transfer to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any of its Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such Transfer, the Transferring Shareholder shall purchase the Shares from SCL on the same terms and conditions specified in the Notice of Transfer.
 
18.5   Notwithstanding the foregoing, tag-along rights shall not apply to any Transfer or Transfers by Wuxi CRM to its Permitted Transferee or made pursuant to a bona fide loan transaction with a financial institution that creates a mere security interest, and the provisions of Clauses 16.7 and 16.8 shall apply mutatis mutandis.
 
18.6   Any purported Transfer by the Transferring Shareholder in violation of this Joint Venture Agreement shall be null and void and of no force and effect and the purported transferees shall have no rights or privileges in or with respect to MAT or the Shares purported to have been so transferred. MAT shall refuse to recognise any such Transfer and shall not reflect on its records any change in ownership of such Shares purported to have been so transferred.
19.   PUT OPTION
19.1   In consideration of the sum of US$1.00 paid by SCL to Wuxi CRM (the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which Wuxi CRM hereby acknowledges), Wuxi CRM hereby irrevocably grants to SCL an option (the “Put Option”), at any time during the Put Option Period, to require Wuxi CRM to purchase from SCL all (and not some only) of the Option Shares, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Clause 19.
 
19.2   The Put Option may be exercised by SCL in respect of all (and not some only) of the Option Shares by serving notice in writing of such exercise on Wuxi CRM at any time during the Put Option Period (the “Put Option Notice”) failing which the Put Option will lapse and cease to have any further effect.
 
19.3   The Put Option Notice shall state:
  (a)   the date of the Put Option Notice;
 
  (b)   the number of Option Shares;
 
  (c)   the purchase price; and
 
  (d)   the Put Option Completion Date.

24

 

19.4   On the exercise of the Put Option, Wuxi CRM will become bound to purchase and SCL will become bound to complete the sale of the Option Shares on the Transfer Terms. The purchase price per Option Share shall be a sum equal to the Net Asset Value thereof Provided Always That if the Net Asset Value is in the negative, the aggregate purchase price for all the Option Shares shall be US$1.00.
 
19.5   Completion of the sale and purchase of the Option Shares (the “Put Option Completion”) shall take place at the corporate office of MAT in Hong Kong (or at such other place as SCL and Wuxi CRM may agree in writing) on the Put Option Completion Date.
 
19.6   On the Put Option Completion, Wuxi CRM shall pay the total consideration for the Option Shares calculated in accordance with Clause 19.4 by cashier’s order or banker’s draft drawn on a bank licensed in Hong Kong or Singapore or by telegraphic transmission to an account designated by SCL against delivery of:
  (a)   a duly executed transfer form in favour of Wuxi CRM or as it may direct; and
 
  (b)   the share certificates in respect of the Option Shares.

24.5   While the restrictions contained in Clause 24.3 are considered by the Parties to be reasonable in all circumstances, it is recognised that such restrictions may fail for technical reasons unforeseen and accordingly, it is hereby agreed and declared that if any such restrictions shall be adjudged to be void as going beyond what is reasonable in all the circumstances for the protection of the interests of SCL and/or its subsidiaries but would be valid if part of the wording thereof were deleted or the periods (if any) thereof were reduced or the range of activities or areas dealt with
