|
If
the Purchaser’s Accountants and the Vendor are unable to agree as to the
form and content of the Draft Effective Date Accounts on or before

|
Adjustment
of Consideration
|
|
7.1
|
The
Initial Consideration shall be reduced by the amount, if any, by
which the
net asset value of the Company (being the total net tangible assets
less
total liabilities) as shown in the Effective Date Accounts falls
short of
the amount of US$1,893,000.00.
|
|
7.2
|
The
Initial Consideration shall be increased by the amount, if any, by
which
the net asset value of the Company (being the total net tangible
assets
less total liabilities) as shown in the Effective Date Accounts exceeds
the amount of US$1,893,000.00.
|
|
7.3
|
The
sum of US$4,000,000.00 to be settled by way of the Promissory Note
shall
be adjusted based on the amount of tax liabilities incurred by the
Company
calculated at 17.5% in respect of profits generated by the Company
for the
period from the Accounting Date to the Completion Date as shown in
the
Effective Date Accounts; and the amount payable for each of the eight
quarterly instalments pursuant to the Promissory Note shall be adjusted
on
a pro rata basis.
|
|
7.4
|
In
the event that the Margin in respect of Non-Conair Sales of the Company
for the 12-month period ending on 30 November 2006 is less than
US$2,700,000.00 and the Tire Gauge Sales of the Company for the 12-month
period ending on 30 November 2006 is less than US$10,000,000.00,
the
Retained Consideration shall be reduced in the following
manner:
|
|
7.4.1
|
as
to US$3,000,000.00 of the Retained Consideration in relation to the
Non-Conair Sales, such reduction shall be calculated in accordance
with
the following formula:
|
| US$3,000,000.00 x |
US$2,700,000.00
|
|
A
|
where
“A”
represents the Margin of the sale in respect of the Company's Non-Conair Scales
for the 12-month period ending on 30 November 2006.
|
7.4.2
|
as
to US$2,000,000.00 of the Retained Consideration in relation to the
Tire
Gauge Sales, such reduction shall be calculated in accordance with
the
following formula:
|
| US$2,000,000.00 x |
B
|
|
C
|
where
“B”
represents any dollar increase of the Tire Gauge Sales of the Company for the
12-month period ending on 30 November 2006 from the sum of US$8,000,000.00
(up
to US$10,000,000.00); and
where
“C”
represents the difference between US$8,000,000.00 and
US$10,000,000.00.
-
14 -
|
For
the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of the adjustment and the
adjustment itself in relation to the Retained Consideration in respect
of
the Non-Conair Sales in Clause 7.4.1 and Tire Gauge Sales in Clause
7.4.2
are mutually exclusive and the adjustment amount cannot be more than
US$3,000,000.00 and US$2,000,000.00 with respect to Clauses 7.4.1
and
7.4.2 respectively.
|
|
7.5
|
For
the purpose of Clause 7.4,
|
|
7.5.1
|
“Cost”
shall mean:
|
| 7.5.1 |
for
products that are manufactured by a third party manufacturer, the
amount
shown on the invoice issued to the Company by such third party
manufacturer and
|
| 7.5.2 |
for
products that are manufactured by a Purchaser’s Group Company, the amount
that would otherwise have been shown on the invoice that would have
been
issued to the Company by a third party manufacturer.
|
|
7.5.2
|
“Margin”
shall mean the aggregate amount of Non-Conair Sales less the Cost
of the
Non-Conair Sales;
|
|
7.5.3
|
“Non-Conair
Sales”
shall mean the sale of scale products by the Company to its customers
other than Conair Corporation, a company incorporated in the United
States
of America, and its affiliates;
|
|
7.5.4
|
“Tire
Gauge Sales”
shall mean the aggregate amount of sales of the Company in relation
to the

|
The
adjustments to the Retained Consideration (if any) contemplated under
Clause 7.4 shall be made by no later than 15 December 2006. On or
before
15 December 2006, the Purchaser shall notify the Vendor in writing
of any
reduction to the Retained Consideration (“Reduction”)
in accordance with Clause 7.4 and shall provide the Vendor with
documentary and other evidence supporting the calculation of the
Reduction.
|
|
7.6.2
|
At
the request of the Vendor, the Purchaser shall give and shall procure
that
the Vendor or any persons authorised by it will for the purpose of
satisfying the accuracy of the Reduction be given such access to
the
premises and all books, records and accounts of the Company as the
Vendor
may reasonably request.
|
| 7.6.3 |
In
the event that the Vendor does not agree with the amount of Reduction
as
notified by the Purchaser pursuant to Clause 7.6.1, the Parties shall
use
their respective reasonable endeavours to resolve any
difference,
|
-
15 -
|
7.6.4
|
In
the event that the Parties are unable to agree to the amount of the
Reduction by 20 December 2006, the matter may be referred by the
Vendor or
the Purchaser to an independent firm of chartered accountants appointed
by
agreement between the Vendor and the Purchaser or, failing such agreement,
nominated by the President for the time being of the Hong Kong Society
of
Accountants on the application of the Vendor or the Purchaser and
such
independent firm of chartered accountants shall by no later than
1 January
2007, settle any matter in dispute, and (unless both the Vendor and
the
Purchaser shall otherwise direct in writing) determine the amount
of the
Reduction in accordance with the provisions of Clause 7.4; and the
determination of such independent firm of chartered accountants shall
in
the absence of manifest error, be final and binding on the Parties
and
such chartered accountants shall be deemed to act as experts and
not as
arbitrators.

-
16 -

covenanting with the other party in the same
terms.

|
8.4
|
While
the restrictions contained in this Clause 8 are considered by the
Parties
to be reasonable in all the circumstances, it is recognised that
restrictions of the nature in question may fail for technical reasons
and
accordingly it is hereby agreed and declared that if any of such
restrictions shall be adjudged to be void as going beyond what is
reasonable in all the circumstances for the protection of the legitimate
interests of the Purchaser or the Vendor, as the case may be, but
would be
valid if part of the wording thereof were deleted or the periods
thereof
reduced or the range of activities or area dealt with thereby reduced
in
scope the said restriction shall apply with such modifications as
may be
necessary to make it valid and
effective.

Claim:

|
9.17.1
|
the
Purchaser shall immediately give notice to the Vendor of the matter
and
shall consult with the Vendor with respect to the
matter;

In
assessing any damages or other amounts recoverable for a Relevant
Claim

the matter giving rise to the Relevant
Claim:

| 9.24 |
If
the Purchaser or the Company becomes aware
that:
|
|
9.24.1
|
any
provision for Tax in the Accounts or the Effective Date Accounts
is likely
to be an overprovision (an "Overprovision");
or
|
|
9.24.2
|
the
Company is entitled to any repayment of Tax overpaid by the Company
(other
than a repayment which has been shown as an asset in the Accounts
or the
Effective Date Accounts) and/or any interest in respect of any period
before Completion (a "Repayment"),
|
-

the
Purchaser shall immediately give written details thereof to the Vendor and

Amount")

the
Relevant Amount shall first be set off against any payment then due
from
the Vendor in respect of a Relevant Claim;
|
|
9.25.2
|
to
the extent that there is an excess, a refund shall be made to the
Vendor
of any previous payment or payments made in respect of a Relevant
Claim
and not previously refunded under this Clause up to the amount of
such
excess; and
|
|
9.25.3

to
the extent that the excess referred to in Clause 9.25.2 is not exhausted
under that Clause, the remainder of that excess shall be carried
forward
and set off against future payment or payments which become due from
the
Vendor in respect of a Relevant
Claim.
|
|
9.26
|
If
any sum payable by the Vendor under this Clause 9 shall be subject
to Tax
(whether by way of deduction or withholding or direct assessment
of the
person entitled thereto) such payment shall be increased by such
an amount
as shall ensure that after deduction, withholding or payment of such
Tax
the recipient shall have received a net amount equal to the payment
otherwise required hereby to be
made.
|
|
9.27
|
If
any potential Relevant Claim arises by reason of a liability which
is
contingent only or otherwise not capable of being quantified, the
Purchaser shall not be entitled to enforce a Relevant Claim until
such
liability ceases to be contingent and becomes actual or capable of
being
quantified.

|
NOW
THIS DEED WITNESSES as follows:

same
meanings and application in this
Deed.
|
|
2.
|
References
herein to the Agreement shall be construed as references to the Agreement
as amended or supplemented from time to
time.
|
|
3.
|
The
Guarantors hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to the
Vendor
the due and punctual performance and observance by the Purchaser
of its
obligations under Clause 3.4 of the Agreement (the “Obligation”)
The Guarantors shall pay to the Vendor from time to time on demand
a sum
of money which the Purchaser is at any time liable to pay to the
Vendor
under or pursuant to the Agreement and which has not been paid at
the time
the demand is made. The Guarantors’ Obligation under this Deed are primary
obligations and not those of a mere surety. The liability of the
Guarantors as aforesaid shall not be released or diminished by any
arrangements or alterations of terms (whether of the Agreement or
otherwise) or any forbearance, neglect or delay in seeking performance
of
the obligations hereby imposed or any granting of time for such
performance.
|
|
4.
|
The
Guarantors irrevocably and unconditionally agree to indemnify (and
keep
indemnified) the Vendor against all losses, damages, interests, costs
and
expenses (including legal costs and expenses) which the Vendor may
suffer
through or arising from any breach by the Purchaser of the
Obligation.
|
-
64 -
|
5.
|
The
Guarantors’ obligations under Clause 3 and 4 are not affected by any
arrangement which the Vendor may make with the Purchaser or with
another
person which (but for this Clause 5) might operate to diminish or
discharge the liability of or otherwise provide a defence to a
surety.
|
|
6.
|
The
Guarantors’ liability under Clause 3 and 4 are not affected by the
avoidance of an assurance, security or payment of a release, settlement
or
discharge which is given or made on the faith of an assurance, security
or
payment, in either case, under an enactment relating to bankruptcy
or
insolvency.
|
|
7.
|
The
Guarantors’ obligations under Clauses 3 and 4 are continuing obligations
and are not satisfied, discharged or affected by an intermediate
payment
or settlement of account by or a change in the constitution or control
of,
or merger or consolidation with any other person of, or the insolvency
of,
or bankruptcy, winding up or analogous proceedings relating to, the
Purchaser.
|
|
8.
|
The
Vendor may at any time as it thinks fit, without reference to the
Guarantors and without prejudice to the Guarantors’ obligations under this
Deed:
|
|
8.1
|
grant
a time for payment or grant another indulgence or agree to an amendment,
variation, waiver or release in respect of an obligation of the Purchaser
under the Agreement;
|
|
8.2
|
give
up, deal with, vary, exchange or abstain from perfecting or enforcing
other securities or guarantees held by the
Vendor;
|
|
8.3
|
discharge
a party to other securities or guarantees held by the Vendor and
realise
all or any of those securities or guarantees;
and
|
|
8.4
|
compound
with, accept compositions from and make other arrangements with the
Purchaser or a person or persons liable on other securities or guarantees
held or to be held by the Vendor.
|
So
long
as the Purchaser remains under an actual or contingent obligation under the
Agreement, the Guarantors shall not exercise a right which it may at any time
have by reason of the performance of its obligations under clauses 3 and 4
to be
indemnified by the Purchaser, to claim a contribution from another surety of
the
Purchaser's obligations or to take the benefit (wholly or partly and by way
of
subrogation or otherwise) of any of the Vendor's rights under the Agreement
or
of any other security taken by the Vendor in connection with the
Agreement.]
|
9.
|
The
Guarantors hereby waive any rights which they may have to require
the
Vendor to proceed first against or claim payment from the Purchaser
before
making a demand on the Guarantors.
|
|
10.
|
The
Guarantors agree that if the Obligation may not be enforceable against
or
recoverable from the Purchaser by reason of any legal limitation,
disability or incapacity of the Purchaser or any other fact or
circumstance, the Obligation shall nevertheless be enforceable against
or
recoverable from the Guarantor as though the same had been incurred
by
them and they were the sole or principal obligor in respect thereof
and
shall be performed or paid by them on
demand.

variation of this Deed is valid unless it is in writing and signed
by each
party.
|
|
12.
|
The
failure to exercise or delay in exercising a right or remedy provided
by
this Deed or by law does not constitute a waiver of the right or
remedy or
a waiver of other rights or remedies. No single or partial exercise
of a
right or remedy provided by this Deed or by law prevents further
exercise
of the right or remedy or the exercise of another right or
remedy.

The
rights and remedies contained in this Deed are cumulative and not
exclusive of rights or remedies provided by
law.
