respective attorneys, accountants or other advisors or (e) that the parties may disclose such information to their respective Representatives as necessary in connection with the ordinary conduct of their respective businesses (so long as such Representatives agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information); provided, however, in each case, the disclosing party will use reasonable best efforts to obtain confidential treatment for or preserve confidentiality of the details of the negotiation of this Agreement and the terms of this Agreement.

4.4

Reasonable Best Efforts of Parties to Close; Regulatory Matters.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Party hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable antitrust, competition, investment or similar Laws and regulations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including (i) using reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary, proper, or advisable Consents from Governmental Authorities and making all necessary, proper, or advisable registrations, filings, and notices and using reasonable best efforts to take all steps as may be necessary to obtain such Consents from any Governmental Authority (including under Competition Laws) and (ii) executing and delivering any additional agreements, documents, or instruments necessary, proper, or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement.

(b) Each Party hereto shall consult with one another with respect to the obtaining of all Consents of Governmental Authorities necessary, proper, or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and each Party hereto shall keep the others reasonably apprised on a prompt basis of the status of matters relating to such Consents. Each Party hereto shall have the right to review in advance and, to the extent practicable, and subject to any restrictions under Applicable Law, each shall consult the other with respect to, any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Governmental Authority or any Third Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and each Party agrees to in good faith consider comments of the other Parties thereon. Each Party hereto shall promptly furnish to each other copies of all such filings and written materials after their filing or submission, in each case subject to Applicable Laws. Each party hereto shall promptly advise each other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Authority whose Consent is required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including promptly furnishing each other copies of any written or electronic communication, and shall promptly advise each other when any such communication causes such Party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any such Consent will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such Consent will be materially delayed or conditioned. Each Party hereto shall not participate in any live or telephonic meeting with any Governmental Authority (other than routine or ministerial matters) in respect of any filing, investigation, or other inquiry relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, unless, to the extent practicable, (i) it consults with the other parties in advance and, (ii) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and by such Governmental Authority, gives the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained in this Agreement, no Party shall be obligated to provide information to another Party, if such Party determines, in its reasonable judgment, that (x) doing so would violate Applicable Law or a Contract, agreement, privilege, or obligation of confidentiality owing to a

Third Party, jeopardize the protection of an attorney-client privilege, or expose such party to risk of liability for disclosure of sensitive or personal information (it being understood that the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enable such information to be furnished or made available to the requesting party or its Representatives without so jeopardizing privilege or protection, incurring liability, or contravening Applicable Law or Contract, agreement, or obligation, including by entering into a customary joint defense agreement or common interest agreement with the requesting party, to the extent such an agreement would preserve the applicable privilege or protection) or (y) such information is not directly related to the transactions contemplated hereby. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.4(b) (except for the immediately preceding sentence) shall not apply with respect to Tax matters.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall a Party be required by a Governmental Authority to agree to take, or enter into any action, that action is not conditioned upon each Closing.

4.5

Exclusivity.

From the date hereof up to the earlier of the Step 3 Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement, each of the Sellers agrees, jointly and severally, that such Seller will not make and/or maintain any form of contact with any other potential investors, whether private or institutional or corporate, for any purpose without the prior written consent of the Purchaser.

4.6

Notification of Certain Matters.

During the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and terminating upon the earlier of the Step 3 Closing or the termination of this Agreement, the Sellers shall give prompt written notice to the Purchaser of any material development that would make the satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 on the Step 1 Closing Date, Step 2 Closing Date or Step 3 Closing Date reasonably unlikely or impossible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice under this Section 4.6 shall be deemed to have modified any representation or warranty or cured any breach of covenant for purposes of determining the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article V (or in and of itself result in the failure of a condition to a Closing in Article V).

ARTICLE VII

SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

7.1

Survival.

The representations and warranties in this Agreement and in any certificate delivered shall terminate as of the Step 3 Closing and shall not survive the Step 3 Closing for any purpose, except that the Seller Fundamental Representations and the Purchaser Fundamental Representations shall survive the Step 3 Closing until the latest date permitted by law. The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that by their terms are to be performed following the Step 3 Closing shall survive the Step 3 Closing for the period contemplated by its terms.

7.2

Indemnification by Sellers.

Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VII, the Sellers shall indemnify the Purchaser against, and shall hold the Purchaser harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse the Purchaser for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Purchaser based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Sellers contained in this Agreement, as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Step 1 Closing Date, the Step 2 Closing Date or the Step 3 Closing Date; or

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement.

7.3

Indemnification by the Purchaser.

Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VII, the Purchaser shall indemnify the Sellers against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Sellers based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement, as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Step 1 Closing Date, the Step 2 Closing Date or the Step 3 Closing Date; or

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.

7.4

Indemnification Procedures.

The party making a claim under this Article VII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.

(a) Indemnity Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party making a claim under this Article VII (an “Indemnity Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Indemnity Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Indemnity Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Indemnity Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Indemnity Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Indemnity Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its Representatives may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

7.5

Exclusive Remedy.

The parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII. Notwithstanding

the foregoing or any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, no Party hereto shall be precluded from making, or otherwise limited in any recovery in connection with, any claim or cause of action (or recovery in connection therewith) against a Party hereto in the case of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of, or facilitated by, such Party.

7.6

Limitation on Liability.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the consummation of the Step 1 Closing, the Step 2 Closing and the Step 3 Closing, in no event shall any Seller’s liability to the Purchaser for breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein (other than for breach of Seller Fundamental Representations) exceed the portion of the Purchase Price for the Shares sold by such Seller as of the Step 1 Closing, the Step 2 Closing or the Step 3 Closing, respectively.

ARTICLE VIII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

8.1

Consultation.

(a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the interpretation, breach, termination or validity hereof (each, a “Dispute”), shall be resolved through consultation. Such consultation shall begin immediately after any Party hereto has delivered written notice to any other Party hereto requesting such consultation.

8.2

Arbitration.

(a) If the Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days following the date on which a notice for consultation is given or upon the notice of any Party to the Dispute notifying that such consultation has failed, the Dispute shall be finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “HKIAC”) under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) as are in force at the time of any such arbitration. There shall be one arbitrator. The seat of arbitration shall be Hong Kong.

(b) There shall be three (3) arbitrators, each of whom shall be an attorney qualified to practice law and fluent in English and shall be appointed as follows:

(i) The parties shall, within thirty (30) days of the date on which the Dispute was referred to arbitration, each appoint one (1) arbitrator, who shall jointly appoint the third arbitrator, who shall chair the arbitration panel and shall be a national of a country other than Japan and China. All arbitrators appointed to preside over a Dispute shall be and remain at all times impartial and independent of the parties.

(ii) If either party fails to appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the date on which the Dispute was referred to arbitration, the HKIAC shall appoint the missing arbitrator.

(iii) If the appointed arbitrators are unable to agree on the third (3rd) arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their appointment, then the HKIAC shall appoint the third (3rd) arbitrator.

(d) The arbitrators shall decide the Dispute submitted by the Parties to the arbitration strictly in accordance with the substantive laws of State of New York and shall not apply any other substantive law.

(e) The Parties shall facilitate the arbitration by (i) cooperating in good faith to expedite (to the maximum extent practicable) the conduct of the arbitration, (ii) making available to one another and to the arbitrator for inspection and extraction all documents, books, records, and personnel under their control or under the control of a Person controlling or controlled by such Party if determined by the arbitrator to be relevant to the Dispute, subject only to any confidentiality obligations binding on such Person or Party, (iii) conducting arbitration hearings to the greatest extent possible on successive Business Days, and (iv) using their reasonable best efforts to observe the time periods established by the Rules or by the arbitrator for the submission of evidence and briefs.

(f) In the course of arbitration, the Parties shall continue to implement the terms of this Agreement except (as between the disputing parties) for the matters under arbitration.

(g) The costs and expenses of the arbitration, including the fees of the arbitration, including the fees of the arbitrators, shall be borne by the losing Parties to the Dispute, and the losing Parties shall be jointly liable to pay such costs and expenses; provided, however, that the arbitrators shall have the right to allocate the costs and expenses between each Party as the arbitrators deem equitable.

(h) Any award made by the arbitrators shall be final and binding on each of the Parties that were Parties to the Dispute. The Parties expressly agree to waive the applicability of any Laws that would otherwise give the right to appeal the decisions of the arbitrators so that there shall be no appeal to any court of law for the award of the arbitrators, and a Party shall not challenge or resist the enforcement action taken by any other Party in whose favor an award of the arbitrators was given.
