Agreement and the Operation and Management Agreement, and the Controlling Party
and the Transferors covenant to unconditionally, irrevocably and jointly and
severally return to the Acquirer, within 10 days after receipt of written
notice from the Acquirer, the Acquisition Consideration (without interest)
already paid by the Acquirer. In such event, each Party shall bear
the expenses and expenditures incurred thereby for the execution and performance
of this Agreement.
Article
13
The Acquirer shall pay each installment of the Acquisition Consideration
pursuant to the provisions in this Agreement and the Operation and
Management Agreement. If the Acquirer does not make a timely payment
of any installment due to its own fault, the Acquirer shall pay liquidated
damages at the daily rate of 0.05% on the unpaid
amount.
Article
14
If the Acquirer fails to pay any installment for a period in excess of
twenty days after a due date specified in Article 8 or Article 11
above, the Controlling Party may exercise either of the following
options:
(1) The
Controlling Party may grant a grace period to the Acquirer with respect to the
payment term (such grace period shall be determined by the Controlling Party in
its sole discretion and, unless the Controlling Party otherwise expressly
provides, will expire at 5:00 pm on the 30th day after the date the grace period
is granted through written confirmation or according to this Article
14).
(2) The
Controlling Party may sign a written notice of termination of this Agreement and
the equity transfer and deliver such notice to the Acquirer. This
Agreement shall be terminated upon delivery of such notice.
The
foregoing options must be exercised by the Controlling Party in its sole
discretion no later than 5:00 pm on the 20th day after the date the Acquirer’s
applicable installment is due, and such options may be exercised repeatedly by
the Controlling Party upon the occurrence of a payment default. If
the Controlling Party fails to exercise such options within the specified
period, the Controlling Party will be deemed to have granted a grace
period.
If the
Controlling Party exercises its option of granting the Acquirer a grace period,
the Acquirer remains obligated to pay the liquidated damages specified in
Article 13.
8
CONFIDENTIAL
If the
Controlling Party exercises its option of terminating this Agreement, the
Acquirer shall immediately execute all necessary documents and take all
necessary actions to effect the termination (including but not limited to the
filing the application for changing Newco’s registration with the applicable
administration for industry and commerce), and return the Target Equity to the
Controlling Party or any third party designated by the Controlling
Party. Within three days after the satisfaction of the obligations
mentioned in the preceding sentence, the Controlling Party and/or the
Shareholders of Newco shall, after deduction of (a) the Deposit according to
Section (1) of Article 8 hereof and (b) liquidated damages for any delayed
payments pursuant to Article 13 hereof, refund to the Acquirer in a lump sum,
without interest, the Acquisition Consideration paid up to such
date. If the actual loss incurred by the Controlling Party and/or the
Transferors is in excess of the Deposit, the Acquirer shall compensate the
Controlling Party and/or the Transferors, as applicable, for such excess
amount.
Article
15
The Parties agree that the Acquisition Consideration shall be
adjusted upon the occurrence of the following circumstances:
(1) If
Newco has not recovered the full amount of its outstanding accounts
receivable as set forth in the audit report (other than the security
deposit, deposit, performance bond and any other similar payment paid to
suppliers, manufacturers, and operators and lessors of retailing stores by Newco
in its ordinary course of business) within 90 days after the Closing Date, the
Controlling Party, the Transferors and/or the Shareholders of Newco shall
jointly and severally pay such amount within 10 days following the receipt of
written notice from the Acquirer. If the Controlling Party, the
Transferors and/or the Shareholders of Newco fail to pay such amount within the
specified time, the Acquirer may, in its sole discretion, deduct such amount
directly from any Acquisition Consideration and/or the Performance Award
deposits (if applicable, as set forth in Chapter III of the Operation and
Management Agreement). In exchange, the Acquirer may transfer the
right to receive payment for such unpaid accounts receivable to the Controlling
Party, the Transferors and/or the Shareholders of Newco upon the request of the
Controlling Party, or the Acquirer may replace the amount deducted
from the Acquisition Consideration within three days after Newco actually
receives such accounts receivable.
(2) If,
within 90 days after the Closing Date, the Acquirer determines
that Newco has incurred any Undisclosed Liabilities not previously
disclosed in the audit report, the Controlling Party, the Transferors and/or the
Shareholders of Newco shall jointly and severally fully pay the amount of such
liabilities within 10 days after the receipt of written notice from the
Acquirer. If the Controlling Party, the Transferors and/or the
Shareholders of Newco fail to pay such liabilities within the time specified,
the Acquirer may, in its sole discretion, deduct such amount directly from any
Acquisition Consideration (if applicable, as set forth in Chapter III of the
Operation and Management Agreement). In return, the right of defense
against such Undisclosed Liabilities, the set-off rights against
the Undisclosed Liabilities and Newco’s statutory rights pursuant to such
liabilities may be transferred to the Controlling Party, the Transferors and/or
the Shareholders of Newco upon the request of the Controlling Party, or the
Acquirer may replace the amount deducted from the Acquisition Consideration
within three days after the parties to which the Undisclosed Liabilities were
apparently owed confirm that the Acquirer need not assume such Undisclosed
Liabilities in accordance with applicable law.
(3) The
Acquirer shall conduct internal audits of Newco before June 30, 2009 upon the
request of the Controlling Party and/or Newco. The internal audits
shall be completed within 30 days after the Controlling Party submits such
request. If the Annualized Net Profits of Newco are reasonably
expected to be higher than the Guaranteed Net Profit Base according to the audit
results, the Controlling Party may request and the Acquirer shall agree to
increase the Guaranteed Net Profit Base. Within three business days
from the day the Acquirer and the Controlling Party have confirmed such
increased amount in writing, the Acquirer shall pay the following increased
amount of the Acquisition Consideration in a lump sum:
Increased
amount =A × 10 × 51% ×
C – B, where:
A =
Guaranteed Net Profit Base after such increase;
B =
Acquisition Consideration paid by the Acquirer as of such date; and
C =
Percentage of total payment as calculated on the basis of the first, second and
third installments specified in Articles 8 and Article
11.
9
CONFIDENTIAL
The
remaining portion of the increased amount of the Acquisition Consideration shall
be paid in full according to applicable provisions of this Agreement and the
Operation and Management Agreement after the issuance of each audit
report.
If the
Guaranteed Net Profit Base is increased according to this Article 15, the
Operating Profit Index of Newco in the Second Audited Year shall be increased
20% accordingly, as set forth in the
following calculation:
Operating Profit Index of the Second Audited Year = Guaranteed Net
Profit Base after such increase × 120%.
Any
reduction in the amount of the Acquisition Consideration to be paid, any
increased percentage of equity to be transferred by the Controlling Party, or
the Performance Reward to be paid to the Controlling Party specified in this
Agreement and the Operation and Management Agreement shall be calculated based
on the increased Operating Profit Index.
(4) If
the Net Profits of Newco in any Audited Year during the Operating Profit
Index Lockup Period fail to reach the guaranteed Operating Profit Index
guaranteed by the Controlling Party, the Acquirer may reduce the amount of
Acquisition Consideration payable or increase the percentage of equity to be
transferred by the Controlling Party to the Acquirer pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement and the Operation and Management
Agreement:
(a) The
formula for reducing the Acquisition Consideration is as follows:
Reduced
Acquisition Consideration = MAX (A1, A2) × 10
× 51%, where:
A =
Difference between the actual Net Profits and Operating Profit Index for the
applicable Audited Year = B-C; A1 = First Audited Year; A2 = Second Audited
Year;
B =
Operating Profit Index of Newco in the applicable Audited Year within the
Operating Profit Index Lockup Period; and
C =
Actual Net Profits of Newco in the applicable Audited Year within the Operating
Profit Index Lockup Period.
(b) The
Controlling Party agrees, based on the amount by which the Acquisition
Consideration is reduced, to transfer part or all of its equity interests, in
addition to the Target Equity, to the Acquirer. The formula for
increasing the percentage of equity to be transferred by the Controlling Party
to the Acquirer as follows:
Additional
Equity to Be Transferred (%) = MAX (A1, A2) × 51% / C, where:
A =
Difference between the actual Net Profits and Operating Profit Index for the
applicable Audited Year = B-C; A1 = First Audited Year; A2 = Second Audited
Year;
B =
Operating Profit Index of Newco in the applicable Audited Year within the
Operating Profit Index Lockup Period; and
C =
Actual Net Profits of Newco in the applicable Audited Year within the Operating
Profit Index Lockup Period.
Such
adjustments shall be calculated once a year. If the amount by which
Newco fails to achieve the guaranteed Operating Profit Index for the First
Audited Year is higher than the amount by which Newco fails to achieve it for
the Second Audited Year, the Acquisition Consideration will not be reduced for
the Second Audited Year. If the amount by which Newco fails to
achieve the Guaranteed Operating Profit Index settled for the First Audited Year
is lower than the amount by which Newco fails to achieve it for the Second
Audited Year, the higher amount will be used to calculate the adjustment for the
Second Audited Year and the difference will be included in the decreased
Acquisition Consideration or the increased equity to be
transferred.
10
CONFIDENTIAL
The
Acquirer agrees that the Controlling Party may, in its sole discretion, choose
either to reduce the amount of Acquisition Consideration or to increase the
percentage of equity interests transferred. Details of the method to
be used for the adjustment are set forth in the Operation and Management
Agreement.
If the
Net Profits of Newco for any Audited Year within the Operating Profit Index
Lockup Period fail to reach the Operating Profit Index guaranteed by the
Controlling Party, the Acquisition Consideration payable by the Acquirer shall
be adjusted accordingly and the Controlling Party shall not be subjected to any
liability.
Additional
provisions regarding the adjustment of the Performance Reward, the Acquisition
Consideration or the equity interests of the Controlling Party to be transferred
are set forth in Chapter III of the Operation and Management
Agreement.
Article
16
The Transferors and the Controlling Party covenant and warrant that the
“net assets” of Newco on the Audit Reference Date will be no less than RMB
100,000,000.
For
purposes of this Article 16, “net assets” shall include the value of the

not limited to, accounts payable, salaries payable, welfare funds payable, taxes
payable and any other payables, other accounts receivable and accrued
expenses).
The value
of the inventories and the fixed assets shall be determined by the audit report
and the appraisal report issued on the Audit Reference Date by the auditor and
appraisal institution agreed to by the Parties. If the auditor and
appraisal institution cannot obtain adequate accounting information to confirm
the value of an asset, the Parties agree that the value will be determined by
the following means: (a) through valuation of the item at fair market
value; (b) as determined by the Parties through negotiation; or (c) to the
extent that the Parties fail to agree on the value of any item and the
Transferors cannot provide reasonable and satisfactory explanations as to or
proof of value to the Acquirer, the Acquirer may refuse to include such assets
in Newco.
Article
17
The Parties agree that the Controlling Party and/or the Transferors and
Newco will enter into an Asset and Business Acquisition Agreement with respect

prepaid human resource expenses, lease expenses and promotional
expenses). The Acquisition Consideration includes all of the

Transferors.
Article
19
Because the retail mobile phone display counters have already been
purchased by the Controlling Party and/or the Transferors and can be

Acquirer agree to treat the display counters purchased later than January 1,
2006 as Fixed Assets to which provisions of Fixed Assets under this Agreement

Classification of Goods and Services for the Purpose of the Registration
of Trademarks of the Nice Agreement, which are or may be involved in the
Target Businesses (including, among other industry areas, mobile phone
retail sales, after-sale services and mobile telecommunication agency
services), will be transferred to the Controlling Party and Newco to be
held jointly thereby;
|
|
ii)
|
Other
“Guanzhilin” trademarks not included in clause (i) above will not be
transferred to Newco to be held separately and jointly with the
Controlling Party if such trademarks are already registered by the
Controlling Party and/or the Transferors and the Controlling Party and/or
the Transferors have preemptive rights to register such trademarks should

days after any such use or authorized use. Newco shall obtain

(as set forth in Schedule 3) have been amended so that Newco is named

agreements and documents (unless (i) the Transferors have not signed any written
agreements with suppliers and/or manufacturers and such suppliers and/or
manufacturers do not agree to execute such written agreements; or (ii) a change
of business and/or sales model of such suppliers and/or manufacturers prevents
the relevant agreements from being amended). The Transferors shall
use their best efforts to ensure such suppliers and/or manufacturers enter into
supplemental or new sales agreements or after-sales agreements. Without
the prior written consent by the Acquirer, the Transferors shall not sign any
such agreements with suppliers and/or manufacturers. If the
Transferors are also concurrently engaged in the Mobile Phone Distribution
Business, the Transferors must cause Newco to sign mobile phone sales
agreements with suppliers and/or manufacturers and the Transferors shall not
resell mobile phones to Newco. However, this limitation does not
apply to the mobile phone retail and/or after-sales service businesses of the
Controlling Party and/or the Transferors in Shanghai.
(c) Delivery
of operator resources: The telecommunication service agent agreements
with regional operators shall have been amended to identify Newco as a

least half of the above-mentioned regional operators will have signed amendments
identifying Newco as a party to the agreements.

support, store promotion, light box/signage/concession counter rental and sales

agreements and documents to transfer the above Target
Businesses.
(4) The
auditor jointly designated by the Parties shall have issued an audit report
for the financial conditions of Newco on the Audit Reference Date in accordance

satisfied, the Acquirer, the Controlling Party, the Shareholders of Newco and/or
Newco shall have signed an Equity Transfer Agreement and the articles of
association of Newco (reflecting the terms of Newco’s organizational
structure, management and operation set forth in the Operation and

the Controlling Party and the Transferors shall unconditionally, irrevocably and
jointly and severally return the first installment (including the Deposit,
without interest) to the Acquirer within 10 days after receipt from the Acquirer
of written notice to such effect. If the Acquirer presents reasonable

Transferors will not result in a violation of their respective articles of
association, any laws, regulations or any judicial or administrative orders,
awards or judgments binding thereon or any agreements or covenants involving a
third party. In addition, such execution, delivery and performance
will not result in claims brought against the Controlling Party, the

jointly, stating that this agreement is void or is in violation of the
rights of the claimant and claiming damages, payments of liquidated damages or
