If such allocation is disputed by any Government Entity, the Party receiving notice of such dispute will promptly notify the other Party and the Parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to sustain the final allocation. The Seller and the Buyer will share information and cooperate to the extent reasonably necessary to permit the Transactions to be properly, timely and consistently reported.

For all purposes under this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents, a Closing will be deemed to have occurred at the close of business local time in each applicable jurisdiction on a Closing Date irrespective of the actual occurrence of such Closing at any particular time on such Closing Date.

1.8 Payment of the Purchase Price; Delivery of the Company Equity and Purchased Assets.

(a) (i) At the First Closing, the Buyer shall pay the PDITL Equity Purchase Price and PD Trading Equity Purchase Price to the Seller or its designees by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to written instructions delivered to the Buyer at least seven (7) Business Days prior to the First Closing Date.

The Parties shall prepare the short-form transfer agreements and Share Transfer Documents as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement and will execute and deliver or cause their respective Affiliates to execute and deliver the short-form transfer agreements and Share Transfer Documents at the relevant Closing upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.

1.9 Purchase Price Adjustment. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted (such adjustment may be positive or negative), if at all, on a dollar-for-dollar basis to the extent that (i) the Net Cash Amount is greater than or less than the Preliminary Net Cash Amount; or (ii) the Net Working Capital is greater than or less than the Target Net Working Capital, each as set forth below. In the event any adjustment is required under this Section 1.9, appropriate corresponding adjustments shall be specifically allocated to the Company Equity and the Purchased Assets, as applicable, consistent with Exhibit 1.6.

(a) Within ten (10) Business Days prior to each Closing, but in no event less than two (2) Business Days prior to such Closing, the Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer an officer’s certificate of the Seller that contains a good faith and reasonable best estimate of: (i) an unaudited balance sheet of the Companies (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”); (ii)

the Net Cash Amount (the “Estimated Net Cash Amount”); and (iii) the Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital” and, collectively with the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Estimated Net Cash Amount, the “Estimates”), each as of 11:59 p.m. local time on the relevant Closing Date, which Estimates shall be prepared using (1) the local currency to dollar exchange rate which is the lower of the then prevailing spot currency exchange rate published by The Wall Street Journal on (A) the Business Day prior to the date hereof or (B) the Business Day prior to the relevant Closing Date and (2) the same accounting methods, standards, policies, practices, classifications, estimation methodologies, assumptions and procedures as were used to prepare the Financial Statements. The Seller shall make available to the Buyer and its independent accountants such relevant books and records used in preparing the Estimates as the Buyer may reasonably request. If the Buyer in good faith disagrees with the relevant Estimates, the Buyer may deliver a notice to the Seller of its good faith disagreement. The Buyer and the Seller shall use reasonable efforts to resolve any such disagreements regarding such Estimates and the Seller shall revise the Estimates to reflect the resolution of any such disagreement upon which the Seller and the Buyer may agree; provided, however, that the Buyer and the Seller shall use Seller’s Estimates to the extent any disagreement remains unresolved as of the close of business on the day preceding the relevant Closing Date; provided, further, that Seller’s failure to include any changes proposed by the Buyer, or the acceptance by the Buyer of the Estimates, shall not limit or otherwise affect the Buyer’s or the Seller’s rights under this Agreement, including the right of the Buyer to propose such changes or other changes in connection with the Adjustment Calculation, or constitute an acknowledgment by the Buyer of the accuracy of the Estimates. If the relevant Estimated Net Cash Amount exceeds the relevant Preliminary Net Cash Amount, then the relevant Purchase Price payable to the Seller at the relevant Closing pursuant to Section 1.6 and Section 1.8 shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount of such difference. If the relevant Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the relevant Target Net Working Capital, then the relevant Purchase Price payable to the Seller at the relevant Closing pursuant to Section 1.6 and Section 1.8 shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount of such difference. If the relevant Estimated Net Cash Amount is less than the relevant Preliminary Net Cash Amount, then the relevant Purchase Price payable to the Seller at the relevant Closing pursuant to Section 1.6 and Section 1.8 shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of such difference. If the relevant Estimated Net Working Capital is less than the relevant Target Net Working Capital, then the relevant Purchase Price payable to the Seller at the relevant Closing pursuant to Section 1.6 and Section 1.8 shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of such difference.

(b) The Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer within one hundred and twenty (120) days after each Closing Date a written notice (the “Adjustment Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail, the following matters: (i) an unaudited balance sheet of the Companies as of 11:59 p.m. local time on the relevant Closing Date (as adjusted, if at all, pursuant to Section 1.9(c) and Section 1.9(d), the “Closing Balance Sheet”), (ii) the Seller’s calculation of the Net Cash Amount determined from the Closing Balance Sheet (the “Net Cash Amount Calculation”); (iii) the Seller’s calculation of Closing Date WAIC (the “Closing Date WAIC Calculation”); (iv)

the Seller’s calculation of Net Working Capital determined from the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Date WAIC Calculation (the “Net Working Capital Calculation”) and (v) the Seller’s calculation of the amount, if any, by which (A) the Net Cash Amount so determined is less than or greater than the Estimated Net Cash Amount and (B) the Net Working Capital so determined is less than or greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital (the “Adjustment Calculation”). The Closing Balance Sheet, the Net Cash Amount Calculation, the Closing Date WAIC Calculation, the Net Working Capital Calculation and the Adjustment Calculation shall be prepared using (1) the local currency to dollar exchange rate which is the lower of the then prevailing spot currency exchange rate published by The Wall Street Journal on (A) the Business Day prior to the date hereof or (B) the Business Day prior to the relevant Closing Date and (2) the same accounting methods, standards, policies, practices, classifications, estimation methodologies, assumptions and procedures as were used to prepare the Financial Statements. During the preparation of the relevant Adjustment Notice, the Buyer and their independent accountants shall and shall cause the Subject Companies to provide the Seller and their authorized representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to the facilities, books and records of the Companies and their personnel and accountants related to the preparation of such Adjustment Notice, as the Seller may reasonably request from time to time in connection with its review of the Adjustment Notice. Following the relevant Closing, the Buyer shall not take any actions with respect to the accounting books and records of the Companies on which the Closing Balance Sheet, the Net Cash Amount Calculation, the Closing Date WAIC Calculation, the Net Working Capital Calculation or the Adjustment Calculation are to be based that are inconsistent with the Companies’ past practices.

(c) On or prior to the fifteenth (15^th) day following the Seller’s delivery of an Adjustment Notice, the Buyer may deliver to the Seller a written notice stating in reasonable detail the Buyer’s objections (an “Objection Notice”) to the relevant Closing Balance Sheet or the determination of the relevant Net Cash Amount Calculation, the Closing Date WAIC Calculation, the Net Working Capital Calculation or the Adjustment Calculation and certifying that all such disputed items are being disputed in good faith; provided that (i) the only basis on which the Buyer shall be permitted to submit an Objection Notice is with regard to whether such Closing Balance Sheet or such calculations were done in accordance with the accounting methods, standards, policies, practices, classifications, estimation methodologies and assumptions used to prepare the Financial Statements, and whether there were mathematical errors in the calculation of the Net Cash Amount Calculation, the Closing Date WAIC Calculation or the Net Working Capital Calculation, (ii) the Buyer may not dispute any individual item relating to the Seller’s calculation of the Net Cash Amount Calculation or the Net Working Capital Calculation having a value of less than $25,000 and (iii) the Buyer may not deliver an Objection Notice unless the aggregate value of all such disputed items has a value in excess of $500,000. Any Objection Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the dollar amount of any objection and the reasonable basis therefore (and shall include necessary supporting documentation). Any determination set forth on the relevant Closing Balance Sheet, the Net Cash Amount Calculation, the Closing Date WAIC Calculation, the Net Working Capital

Calculation or the Adjustment Calculation that is not specifically objected to in the Objection Notice shall be deemed acceptable and shall be final and binding upon the Parties upon delivery of the Objection Notice. If the Buyer does not deliver to the Seller an Objection Notice within such fifteen (15) day period, then the relevant Closing Balance Sheet, the Net Cash Amount Calculation, the Closing Date WAIC Calculation, the Net Working Capital Calculation and the Adjustment Calculation will be conclusive and binding upon the Parties and the relevant Net Cash Amount Calculation, the Closing Date WAIC Calculation, the Net Working Capital Calculation and the Adjustment Calculation set forth with the Closing Balance Sheet will constitute the Net Cash Amount Calculation, the Closing Date WAIC Calculation, the Net Working Capital Calculation and the Adjustment Calculation for purposes of Section 1.9(b) above with respect to the relevant Closing.

(d) Following the Buyer’s timely delivery of an Objection Notice, the Seller and the Buyer shall attempt to negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. In the event that the Seller and the Buyer fail to agree on any of the Buyer’s proposed adjustments set forth in the Objection Notice within thirty (30) days after the Seller receives the Objection Notice, the Seller and the Buyer agree that a mutually acceptable Neutral Accounting Firm (the “Accounting Arbitrator”) shall, within the thirty (30) day period immediately following such failure to agree, make the final determination of the relevant Net Cash Amount and the relevant Net Working Capital in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that (i) if the Parties are unable to agree on a Neutral Accounting Firm to act as Accounting Arbitrator within such thirty (30) day period, then the Buyer and the Seller shall each select a Neutral Accounting Firm and such firms together shall select the Neutral Accounting Firm to act as the Accounting Arbitrator and (ii) if any Party does not select a Neutral Accounting Firm within ten (10) days of written demand therefor by the other Party (after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period), the Neutral Accounting Firm selected by the other Party shall act as the Accounting Arbitrator. The Buyer and the Seller each shall provide the Accounting Arbitrator with their respective determinations of each item in dispute and the resulting Adjustment Calculation. The Buyer and the Seller shall instruct the Accounting Arbitrator to render its determination with respect to the items in dispute in a written report that specifies its conclusions as to each item in dispute and the resulting Adjustment Calculation. The Buyer and the Seller each shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Arbitrator to render its determination within thirty (30) days after referral of the items to it or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable.

(f) fail to duly file all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Subject Companies and to pay promptly all Taxes and governmental charges that are claimed by any Government Entity by the Subject Companies as and when due, except for such Taxes that are being disputed in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been set aside in accordance with the applicable generally accepted accounting principles in the relevant jurisdictions ;

(g) declare, set aside or pay any dividend or other distribution with respect to any capital stock or share capital of or other equity interests in any of the Subject Companies, or repurchase or redeem any shares of its capital stock or share capital; provided that, the Subject Companies may declare and pay cash dividends or otherwise make cash distributions to one or more Equity Seller of all or any portion of any Subject Company’s available cash or make distributions of intercompany accounts;

Without the prior written consent of the Seller, neither the Buyer nor any of its Representatives shall contact any director, officer, employee, agent, customer or supplier of any Company with respect to the Transactions.

(a) The Seller shall have the right from time to time prior to the relevant Closing to supplement or amend the Seller Disclosure Schedule with respect to (i) any matter that existed as of the date of this Agreement and should have been set forth in the Seller Disclosure Schedule and (ii) any matter hereinafter arising which, if existing as of the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth in the Seller Disclosure Schedule; provided that with respect to clause (ii) above, any such supplemental or amended disclosure shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to have been disclosed as of the relevant Closing to the extent it is not material or as otherwise not prohibited under Section 4.2 hereof.

(b) The Seller shall promptly notify the Buyer in writing of any development causing a material breach of any of the representations and warranties in ARTICLE III above. Unless the Buyer has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 below by reason of such development and exercises that right within five (5) Business Days after gaining such right, as provided in Section 8.1 below, the written notice pursuant to this Section 4.4(b) shall be deemed to have amended the Seller Disclosure Schedule, to have qualified the representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE III above, and to have cured any misrepresentation or breach of warranty that otherwise might have existed hereunder by reason of the development. The Buyer shall also be precluded from asserting any claims against the Seller whether before or after the relevant Closing, by reason of any such development. From the date of this Agreement until the relevant Closing, the Buyer promptly shall notify the Seller if any representation and warranty of the Buyer set forth in this Agreement was untrue when made or subsequently has become untrue.

4.5 Public Announcements; Confidentiality.

(a) Neither the Seller nor the Buyer shall make, or permit any agent or Affiliate to make, any public statements, including any press releases, with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions without the prior written consent of the other (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that each Party may, without the other Parties’ prior consent, make any public disclosure that it believes in good faith is required by applicable Laws or securities listing standards (in which case the disclosing Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to advise the other Parties prior to making the disclosure).

(b) The Parties acknowledge that the information being provided to one another in connection with the Transactions (including the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents) is subject to the term of the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

4.6 Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as any Party actively is contesting or defending against any third party Action or Proceeding, including the GC Action, in connection with (a) the Transactions or (b) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition,

activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction on or prior to the relevant Closing Date involving the Companies, the Equity Sellers or the Seller, the Buyer agrees to (i) cooperate with the contesting or defending party and its counsel, (ii) make available any employee then employed by the Buyer to provide testimony, to be deposed, to act as witnesses and to assist counsel, (iii) provide access to its books and records as shall be necessary in connection with the defense or contest, all at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending Party; and (iv) shall preserve all records relating to the GC Action as requested by the Seller until such time as the Seller notifies the Buyer in writing that such preservation is no longer necessary.

4.7 Regulatory and Other Approvals; Consents.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions provided in this Section 4.7, the Seller and the Buyer each shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the Transactions, including timely submission of the documents set out in Schedule 4.7 to the China Approval Authority after the date of this Agreement, and to cooperate with each other in connection with the foregoing, including to: (i) obtain all necessary waivers, consents and approvals from other parties to Contracts; (ii) obtain all Governmental Authorizations that are required to be obtained under any Law; (iii) lift or rescind any injunction, restraining order or other Order adversely affecting the ability of the Parties to consummate the Transactions; (iv) effect all necessary registrations and filings including filings and submissions of information requested or required by any Government Entity, including any national antitrust authorities with mandatory pre-merger filing requirements that are deemed by the Seller and the Buyer, after consulting with one another, to be applicable to the Transactions (“Governmental Antitrust Authority”); and (v) fulfill all conditions to this Agreement. The Seller and the Buyer further covenant and agree, with respect to any threatened or pending preliminary or permanent injunction or other Order or Law that would adversely affect the ability of the Parties to consummate the Transactions, to use their respective best efforts to prevent the entry, enactment or promulgation thereof, as the case may be. In no event, however, shall the Seller be obligated to pay any money to any Person or to offer or grant other financial or other accommodations to any Person in connection with its obligations under this Section 4.7.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Seller and the Buyer shall use their best efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted with respect to the Transactions under any antitrust, competition or trade regulatory Laws (“Antitrust Laws”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller and the Buyer shall (i) use their best efforts to avoid the entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any Order that would restrain, prevent or delay the consummation of the Transactions, including defending through litigation on the merits and through any available appeals any claim asserted in any court by any party, and (ii) take any and all steps necessary to avoid (or eliminate) each and every impediment under any Antitrust Laws that may be asserted by any Governmental Antitrust Authority with

respect to the Transactions so as to enable the consummation of such transactions to occur as expeditiously as possible (and in any event no later than December 31, 2015), including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting (by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise) the sale, divestiture or disposition of such assets or businesses of the Buyer or its Affiliates or of the Companies (or otherwise taking or committing to take any action that limits their freedom of action with respect to any of the businesses, product lines or assets of the Buyer or its Affiliates or of the Companies) as may be required in order to avoid the pursuit or entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other Order in any Action or Proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of preventing or delaying the consummation of the Transactions. The entry by any Governmental Antitrust Authority (where it has the power to do so), in any Action or Proceeding brought by a private party or Governmental Antitrust Authority challenging the Transactions as violative of any Antitrust Law, of an Order permitting the Transactions, but requiring that any of the businesses, product lines or assets of any of the Buyer or its respective Affiliates or of the Companies, or that would otherwise limit the Buyer’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, any of the Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ other businesses, product lines or assets, shall not be deemed a failure to satisfy the conditions specified in Section 6.1(c) or 6.1(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to divest or hold separate or otherwise take or commit to take any action that limits its freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain in the event of failure to meet the conditions set forth in Section 6.1(c), 6.1(e), 6.2(c), or 6.2(e), the business of the Companies or any portion thereof, or any of its or their other businesses, product lines or assets.

(c) The Seller and the Buyer shall keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Transactions and work cooperatively in connection with obtaining the requisite Governmental Authorizations, including: (i) cooperating with the other Party in connection with filings under any Antitrust Laws, including, with respect to the Party making a filing, (A) providing copies of all such documents to the non-filing Party and its advisors prior to filing (other than documents containing confidential business information that shall be shared only with outside legal counsel to the non-filing Party) and (B) if requested, accepting all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested in connection with any such filing; (ii) furnishing to each other all information required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant to any Antitrust Laws in connection with the Transactions; (iii) promptly notifying the other of, and if in writing furnishing the other with copies of, any communications from or with any Governmental Antitrust Authority with respect to the Transactions; (iv) permitting the other Party to review in advance and considering in good faith the views of one another in connection with any proposed communication with any Governmental Antitrust Authority in connection with Actions or Proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Laws; (v) not agreeing to participate in any meeting or discussion with any Governmental Antitrust Authority in connection with Actions or Proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Laws unless it consults with the other Party in advance, and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Antitrust Authority, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate

in such meetings or discussions; and (vi) consulting and cooperating with one another in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of either Party in connection with Actions or Proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Laws. If either Party or any Affiliate thereof receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any such Governmental Antitrust Authority with respect to the Transactions, then such Party shall endeavor in good faith to make, or cause to be made, as soon as practicable and after consultation with the other Party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request. The Buyer shall advise the Seller promptly in respect of any understandings, undertakings or agreements (oral or written) which the Buyer proposes to make or enter into with any Governmental Antitrust Authority in connection with the Transactions.

4.8 Employee Matters.

(a) For a period of ninety (90) days after the relevant Closing Date or such longer time if required under applicable Law, the Buyer shall not, and shall cause each Subject Company not to, terminate Business Employees in such numbers as would trigger any Liabilities under any plant closing or other severance Law. The Buyer shall, and shall cause the Subject Companies to, comply with any notice or filing requirements under any plant closing or other severance Law occurring on or after the relevant Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any termination of a Business Employee by the Buyer after the relevant Closing Date shall be in accordance with applicable Law and shall entitle such terminated Business Employee to severance and social insurance benefits no less than those in place, by the Company that employed such Business Employee, as of the relevant Closing Date.

(b) During the period commencing immediately after the relevant Closing Date and ending on the second anniversary thereof, the Buyer shall provide, or shall cause the Subject Companies to provide, the Business Employees with (i) base salary or wages, and target incentive compensation opportunities, at rates or amounts that are no less than those in effect for such Business Employees immediately prior to the relevant Closing Date, and (ii) employee benefits and social insurance benefits that are reasonably comparable in the aggregate to those provided for such Business Employees by the Companies immediately prior to the relevant Closing Date. The Buyer will cause any benefit plans or social insurance benefits in which the Business Employees are eligible to participate to take into account for purposes of determining eligibility and vesting (and the amount and level of benefits or social insurance contributions) service by the Business Employees as if such service were with the Buyer or the Companies, as applicable, to the same extent such service was credited under a comparable Company benefit plan prior to the relevant Closing Date.

(c) At least thirty (30) days prior to the First Closing, the Buyer shall provide the Seller with a list of no more than six (6) Business Employees to be terminated or who the Buyer determines will not be offered employment by the Buyer in New Zealand under Section 4.9 (the “Terminated Employees”). Subject to applicable Law, the Terminated

Employees shall be terminated by the applicable Company immediately prior to the relevant Closing; provided, however that any Terminated Employee who is a New Zealand Business Employee shall not be terminated prior to the Second Closing but shall instead be terminated by Asset Seller by reason of redundancy simultaneously with or immediately after the Second Closing along with all other employees. The Seller shall bear (i) seventy five percent (75%), with respect to any Terminated Employee that is a Business Employee of PDITL, or (ii) one hundred percent (100%) with respect to all other Terminated Employees, of all costs, expenses, severance or termination pay, social insurance benefits, and other Liabilities arising from the termination of any such Terminated Employee.

4.9 New Zealand Employee Matters.

(a) Offer of Employment.

(i) No later than five (5) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, the Seller and the Buyer will agree in writing the process for and timing of making announcements and offers to the New Zealand Business Employees.

(ii) No later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, the Buyer must make an offer of employment in writing to each of the New Zealand Business Employees, conditional on and effective from the Second Closing.

(iii) The Buyer’s offer of employment to each New Zealand Business Employee must be on terms that:

(A) are substantially similar to such New Zealand Business Employee’s terms and conditions of employment with Asset Seller on the date of this Agreement;

(B) include a position description, hours of work, salary and location that are substantially similar to those such New Zealand Business Employee has with Asset Seller on the date of this Agreement;

(C) accept liability for such New Zealand Business Employee’s Leave Benefits and treat such New Zealand Business Employee’s employment by the Buyer as if there was continuous service (including for the purposes of leave accrual and any other service related entitlements);

(D) require such New Zealand Business Employee, as a condition of accepting the Buyer’s offer, to agree in writing that on the Second Closing:

1. his or her employment with Asset Seller will terminate as of the Second Closing Date and any entitlement to notice of termination from Asset

Seller or to payment in lieu of any period of notice is waived along with waiver of any entitlement to redundancy or other compensation payable upon termination by Asset Seller;

2. all of such New Zealand Business Employee’s other entitlements to Leave Benefits will transfer to the Buyer and such New Zealand Business Employee waives all rights to claim payment for any such Leave Benefits from Asset Seller; and

3. all of such New Zealand Business Employee’s original records of employment with Asset Seller (including such New Zealand Business Employee’s personnel file) will be transferred to the Buyer, with a copy retained by Asset Seller; and

(E) request that each New Zealand Business Employee notify the Buyer by a date no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the expected Closing Date whether the offer is accepted by such New Zealand Business Employee.

(b) Transfer of Leave and Other Entitlements. The Buyer agrees that for all New Zealand Business Employees who accept the Buyer’s offer of employment, their entitlements to Leave Benefits and any other continuous service entitlements under their employment agreements will transfer to the Buyer at the Second Closing and that the Buyer will be solely responsible for and will promptly meet the cost of all such Leave Benefits and entitlements.

(c) Redundancies. The Buyer shall be solely responsible for and will promptly meet the cost of all severance, redundancy or other such payments agreed to be paid or held by a court, Employment Relations Authority, Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment or any other authorized Person to be payable to any New Zealand Business Employee which are referable to their employment with Asset Seller or the termination of that employment as a result of the Transactions.

(d) Reasonable Endeavors. Each of the Seller and the Buyer are to use all reasonable endeavors to persuade all of the New Zealand Business Employees receiving an offer under Section 4.9(a) to accept employment with the Buyer on the terms specified in the offer. Five (5) Business Days before the Second Closing, the Buyer must give notice to the Seller of all New Zealand Business Employees who have accepted the Buyer’s offer of employment by providing the Seller with a copy of each New Zealand Business Employee’s written acceptance of the terms of the offer in Section 4.9(a)(iii) for Asset Seller’s records.

(e) No Third Party Rights. Nothing in this Section 4.9 or Section 4.8 creates any third party beneficiary rights (for the purposes of the Contracts (Privity) Xxx 0000 (New Zealand)) in any New Zealand Business Employee.

(f) Terminated Employees. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Section 4.9 shall not apply to any New Zealand Business Employees who are determined to be Terminated Employees.

4.10 Record Retention. The Parties agree that for a period of seven (7) years after the Second Closing Date, or for a longer period if required by applicable Law, without the prior written consent of the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), neither the Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall dispose of or destroy any of the books and records purchased hereunder which may be relevant to any legal, regulatory or Tax audit, investigation, inquiry or requirement of any of the Sellers without first offering such records to the Seller.

4.11 Indemnification of Directors and Officers; Insurance.

(a) The Buyer agrees that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation now existing in favor of each individual who, as of the relevant Closing Date, is a current or former director or officer of any Subject Company (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) pursuant to governing documents, individual indemnity agreements, board resolutions or otherwise, shall survive the relevant Closing and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms for a period of not less than six (6) years from the Second Closing Date. Following the relevant Closing, neither the Buyer nor the Subject Companies shall amend, repeal or otherwise modify such arrangements in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Covered Persons thereunder.

(b) The Buyer shall cause the Subject Companies to honor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, all of the obligations of the Subject Companies to indemnify (including any obligations to advance funds for expenses) the Covered Persons to the extent that such obligations of the Subject Companies exist on the relevant Closing Date, whether pursuant to their governing documents, individual indemnity agreements, board resolutions or otherwise, and such obligations shall survive the relevant Closing and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of such arrangements until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to any claims.

(c) For a period of not less than six (6) years after the Second Closing Date, the Buyer shall cause, at its sole expense, to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Subject Companies, or substitute policies providing at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions which are not less advantageous to the director or officer in any material respect, in each case with respect to claims arising from facts or events which occurred at or prior to the relevant Closing Date.

(d) In the event that the Buyer, the Subject Companies or any of their respective successors or assigns after the applicable Closing Date (i) consolidates with or merges

into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or a substantial portion of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Buyer, the Subject Companies or of their respective successors or assigns assume the obligations of the Buyer and/or the Subject Companies or their respective successors or assigns as contemplated by this Section 4.11.

(e) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Buyer and/or the Subject Companies or their respective successors or assigns shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Covered Person in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 4.11. The provisions of this Section 4.11 shall survive the consummation of the relevant Closing and expressly are intended to benefit each of the Covered Persons. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, it is agreed that the rights of a Covered Person under this Section 4.11 shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, any other rights such Covered Person may have under the governing documents of the Subject Companies, individual indemnity agreements, board resolutions or otherwise, and nothing in this Section 4.11 shall have the effect of, or be construed as having the effect of, reducing the benefits to the Covered Persons under such arrangements.

(f) The Buyer hereby acknowledges that the Covered Persons may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by other Persons. The Buyer hereby agrees (i) that the Subject Companies are the indemnitors of first resort (i.e., their obligations to the Covered Persons are primary and any obligation of such other Persons to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or Liabilities incurred by any such Covered Person are secondary), (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, that the Subject Companies shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by any Covered Person and shall be liable for the full indemnifiable amounts, in each case in accordance with the indemnification obligations described in this Section 4.11, without regard to any rights any such Covered Person may have against any such other Person and (iii) that the Buyer irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases (and shall cause the Subject Companies to irrevocably waive, relinquish and release) such other Persons from any and all claims against any such other Persons for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. Each of the Buyer and the Subject Companies further agrees that no advancement or payment by any of such other Persons on behalf of any such Covered Persons with respect to any claim for which such Covered Person has sought indemnification from the Subject Companies shall affect the foregoing.

(g) The Parties agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Buyer hereby releases, and will cause each of the Subject Companies to release, the Covered Persons from any liability (i) to any party in respect of this Agreement or the Transactions; and (ii) in respect of any act, matter or thing that occurred on or prior to the relevant Closing, in each case other than any liability for an act of fraud by the Covered Person.

(h) To the extent that the obligations imposed on, or releases provided by, the Buyer or any of the Subject Companies are not enforceable by the Covered Persons, such obligations and releases may be enforced by the Seller as trustee on behalf of such Covered Persons.

4.12 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Periods Ending on or Before the Relevant Closing Date. The Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Subject Companies for all periods ending on or prior to the relevant Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Period”) that are filed after the relevant Closing Date. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared consistently with the past practice of the Subject Companies, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Any Tax Returns of a Subject Company that must be filed in connection with any Transfer Taxes shall be prepared by the Party that customarily has primary responsibility for filing such Tax Returns pursuant to the applicable Law under and according to which the respective Tax Returns are due to be filed; provided, however, that the preparing Party shall deliver such Tax Returns for the other Party’s review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the applicable due date.

(b) Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Relevant Closing Date. The Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of the Subject Companies for Tax periods that begin before the relevant Closing Date and end after the relevant Closing Date (a “Straddle Tax Period”). Such Tax Returns shall be prepared consistently with the past practice of the Subject Companies unless otherwise required by applicable Law. The Buyer shall permit the Seller to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence prior to filing and shall accept all comments that are reasonable. The Seller shall reimburse the Buyer within thirty (30) days of the date on which Taxes are paid with respect to such periods an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the relevant Closing Date, except to the extent such Taxes are taken into account in the calculation of Net Working Capital. For purposes of this Section 4.12, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the relevant Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the relevant Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than the Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the relevant Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period, and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the relevant Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 4.12, in the case of any Tax credit relating to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the relevant Closing Date, the portion of such Tax credit which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the relevant Closing Date shall be the amount which bears the same relationship to the total amount

of such Tax credit as the amount of Taxes described in (y) above bears to the total amount of Taxes for such taxable period. This Section 4.12(b) does not apply to Transfer Taxes or NZ GST as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which are the sole obligation of the Buyer under the provisions of Section 4.12(f) and Section 4.13. Any reimbursement payment made in accordance with this Section 4.12(b) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(i) The Buyer and the Seller shall, and the Buyer shall cause the Subject Companies to, cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Parties, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 4.12 and any audit, Action or Proceeding, with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, Action or Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Buyer and the Seller agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Subject Companies relating to any taxable period beginning before the relevant Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Buyer or the Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other Party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other Party so requests, the Subject Companies or the Seller, as the case may be, shall allow the other Party to take possession of such books and records.

(ii) The Buyer and the Seller further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Government Entity or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the Transactions).

(d) Amended Tax Returns.

(i) Any amended Tax Return of the Subject Companies or claim for Tax refund on behalf of the Subject Companies for any period ending on or prior to the relevant Closing Date shall be filed, or caused to be filed, only by the Seller. The Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of the Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), make or cause to be made, any such filing, to the extent such filing, if accepted, reasonably might change the Tax Liability of the Buyer for any period ending after the relevant Closing Date.

(ii) Any amended Tax Return of the Subject Companies or claim for Tax refund on behalf of the Subject Companies for any period ending after the relevant Closing Date shall be filed, or caused to be filed, only by the Buyer. The Buyer shall not, without the

prior written consent of the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), make or cause to be made, any such filing, to the extent such filing, if accepted, reasonably might change the Tax Liability of the Seller for any period or portion thereof ending on or prior to the relevant Closing Date.

(e) Audits.

(i) The Buyer shall provide the Seller with notice of a Tax Contest with respect to the Subject Companies which could reasonably be expected to cause the Seller to have an indemnification obligation under Section 5.1 within ten (10) days of the receipt of such notice. The Seller shall have the right to control the conduct and resolution of such Tax Contest; provided, however, that the Seller may decline to participate in such Tax Contest. If the Seller controls the conduct of such Tax Contest, the Seller shall not resolve such Tax Contest, to the extent such Tax Contest relates to a taxable period or portion of a period that begins after the relevant Closing Date, without the Buyer’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Seller declines to control such Tax Contest, then the Buyer shall have the right to control the conduct of such Tax Contest; provided, however, that the Buyer shall not resolve such Tax Contest without the Seller’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each Party shall bear its own costs for participating in such Tax Contest.

(ii) The Buyer shall have the right to control all other Tax audits or proceedings of the Subject Companies. The Buyer shall obtain the prior written consent of the Seller prior to the settlement of any such proceedings that could reasonably be expected to increase the Seller’s Tax Liability for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Tax Period, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(iii) The Subject Companies shall execute and deliver to the Seller such powers of attorney and other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to give effect to the foregoing.

(f) Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes (with the exception of Australian GST) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the Buyer when due, and the Buyer or the Companies will, at their own respective expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, the Seller shall join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(g) Tax Covenants.

(i) The Buyer covenants that without obtaining the prior written consent of the Seller it shall not, and shall not cause or permit the Subject Companies or any Affiliate of the Buyer, to (A) take any action on or after the relevant Closing Date other than in the ordinary course of business that could give rise to any Tax Liability of the Seller or any

indemnification obligation of the Seller under Section 5.1, or (B) make or change any Tax election or tax accounting method, amend any Tax Return, take any Tax position on any Tax Return, or compromise or settle any Tax Liability, in each case if such action could have the effect of increasing the Tax Liability of the Seller or reducing any Tax asset of the Companies with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or portion of a Straddle Tax Period ending on the relevant Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Buyer, the Companies, nor any of their Affiliates shall make any election under section 338 of the Code with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(ii) After the relevant Closing Date, the Buyer and the Subject Companies shall not, without obtaining the written consent of the Seller, agree to the waiver or any extension of the statute of limitations relating to any Taxes of the Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Tax Period.

(iii) The Seller shall have the right to (A) any Tax refunds received by the Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or portion of any Straddle Tax Period that ends on the relevant Closing Date (except to the extent such amounts are taken into consideration in calculating the Net Working Capital) or (B) any credits against Taxes in lieu of refunds described in clause (A). The Buyer shall pay such amounts to the Seller no later than ten (10) days after the receipt by the Companies of such Tax refunds or credits. The Buyer shall cooperate with the Seller to prepare and file any Tax Returns required to claim Tax refunds that the Seller is entitled to pursuant to this Section 4.12(g)(iii).

(iv) The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Seller shall have the sole and exclusive right to determine whether to make a “check-the-box” election (“Check-the-Box Election”) as to the tax classification of any of the Subject Companies for United States federal income tax purposes covering any tax periods ending on, prior to, or including the relevant Closing Date. In the event that Seller elects to make a Check-the-Box Election with respect to one or more of the Subject Companies or any of their subsidiaries, the Buyer and its Affiliates shall cooperate in connection with any such election including causing their officers, employees or agents, as applicable, to participate in the timely filing of United States Internal Revenue Service Forms 8832 (and any successor forms thereto).

(h) Payment of Company Tax Benefits. The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that the Tax deductions associated with the Transaction Payments (including net operating loss carryforward deductions, if applicable) shall be for the sole benefit of the Seller and shall be allocated to the applicable Pre-Closing Tax Periods ending on the relevant Closing Date or portions of the applicable Straddle Tax Periods ending on the relevant Closing Date, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable Law and that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Seller shall be entitled to the benefits of each such Tax deduction. The method to compensate the Seller for the benefit associated with Tax deductions that neither reduce amounts the Seller would otherwise have to pay pursuant to Section 4.12(a) or Section 4.12(b), nor are reflected as a reduction in Taxes payable for purposes of determining

Net Working Capital, is through the payment of the Company Tax Benefits. In the event that the Tax deductions associated with the Transaction Payments result in a net operating loss of the Companies for a Pre-Closing Tax Period ending on the relevant Closing Date, such net operating loss shall, to the extent permitted by Law, be first carried back to all available prior Pre-Closing Tax Periods of the Companies, as applicable, to claim refunds for any Taxes that were previously paid by the Companies in such Pre-Closing Tax Periods. The Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Seller the amount of any Company Tax Benefits within ten (10) days after such Company Tax Benefits are actually realized or obtained. A Company Tax Benefit is actually realized or obtained only (i) upon the filing of a Tax Return (including a short period Tax Return) that shows a reduced Tax Liability or (ii) upon receipt of a Tax refund.

(i) Tax Dispute Resolution Mechanism. Any dispute among the Parties involving Taxes arising under this Agreement shall be resolved as follows: (i) the Parties shall in good faith attempt to negotiate a prompt resolution of the dispute; (ii) if the Parties are unable to negotiate a resolution of the dispute within thirty (30) days, the dispute shall be submitted to the national office of a firm of independent accountants of nationally recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to the Seller and the Buyer (the “Tax Dispute Accountant”); (iii) the Tax Dispute Accountant shall resolve the dispute, in a fair and equitable manner and in accordance with applicable Tax Law and the provisions of this Agreement, within thirty (30) days after the Parties have submitted the dispute to the Tax Dispute Accountant, whose decision shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties, absent fraud or manifest error; (iv) any payment to be made as a result of the resolution of a dispute shall be made, and any other action taken as a result of the resolution of a dispute shall be taken, on or before the fifth (5^th) day following the date on which the dispute is resolved (except that if the resolution requires the filing of an amended Tax Return, such amended Tax Return shall be filed within thirty (30) days following the date on which the dispute is resolved); and (v) the fees and expenses of the Tax Dispute Accountant shall be paid by the Party who the Tax Dispute Accountant determines has derived the least benefit from the issues to be resolved by the Tax Dispute Accountant; provided that, (A) if the Parties are unable to agree on a national office of a firm of independent accountants of nationally recognized standing to act as Tax Dispute Accountant, the Seller and the Buyer shall each select a national office of a firm of independent accountants of nationally recognized standing and such firms together shall select the national office of a firm of independent accountants of nationally recognized standing to act as the Tax Dispute Accountant and (B) if any Party does not select a national office of a firm of independent accountants of nationally recognized standing within ten (10) days of written demand therefor by the other Party, the firm selected by the other Party shall act as the Tax Dispute Accountant.

(j) Tax Payments Limited to Pro-Rata Percentage Interest. Following the relevant Closing, the portion of any Taxes to be paid or reimbursed, or to be received with respect to Tax refunds, by the Seller under this Section 4.12 shall be limited to the Pro-Rata Percentage Interest.

(k) To the extent any supply made by the Seller under or in connection with this Agreement is a “taxable supply” for purposes of the Australian A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Xxx 0000, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to the amount of Australian GST payable in respect of that taxable supply at the same time as the consideration is payable for that taxable supply, subject to provision of a valid tax invoice.

4.13 NZ GST.

(a) The Parties agree that the supply of the Purchased Assets being made by Asset Seller under this Agreement consists wholly or partly of the supply of “land” for the purposes of the NZ GST Act and accordingly, that the supply of the Purchased Assets under this Agreement will be zero-rated for NZ GST purposes under section 11(1)(mb) of the NZ GST Act.

(b) The Buyer warrants to the Seller (and the Asset Seller) that the recipient of the land supplied under this Agreement:

(i) is registered under section 51 of the NZ GST Act;

(ii) intends at the Second Closing to use the land supplied under this Agreement for the purposes of making taxable supplies; and

(iii) does not intend to use the land supplied as a principal place of residence for itself or any Person associated with the Buyer (or the recipient) under section 2A(1)(c) of the NZ GST Act.

(c) If, for any reason, it is subsequently determined that NZ GST is chargeable and payable by the Seller (or the Asset Seller) to the Inland Revenue Department at a rate greater than zero in respect of the supply of the Purchased Assets, the NZ GST, together with any Default NZ GST (if applicable) shall, as between the Seller and the Buyer, be payable by the Buyer in addition to the Purchase Price and the Buyer shall, immediately upon demand by the Seller, pay to the Seller the amount of NZ GST and Default NZ GST (if applicable) chargeable in respect of the supply of the Purchased Assets.

(d) It shall not be a defense to any claim against the Buyer for payment to the Seller (or the Asset Seller) of any Default NZ GST that the Seller has failed to mitigate the Seller’s (or the Asset Seller’s) damages by paying an amount of NZ GST when it fell due under the NZ GST Act.

4.14 Appointment of New Thailand Directors. At least fourteen (14) days prior to the First Closing Date, the Buyer shall provide written notice to the Seller of (a) the names of the natural persons that the Buyer wishes for the Seller to cause to be appointed as a member of the board of directors of PDITL, PD Trading and Thai Copper Rod Company Limited, a Thai company (“TCRCL”), to replace the directors of PDITL, PD Trading and TCRCL nominated or appointed by the Seller (collectively, the “New Thailand Directors”) and (b) the name of the

natural persons that the Buyer wishes to become the new authorized director of PDITL and PD Trading who may sign on behalf of each of PDITL and PD Trading (the “New Thailand Authorized Directors”). The Buyer shall provide all supporting documents as required by PDITL, PD Trading and TCRCL for registration of the New Thailand Directors and New Thailand Authorized Directors with the relevant Government Entity.

4.15 Sale of Shares by Resigning Thailand Directors. On or prior to the First Closing Date, the Seller shall cause each director of PDITL and PD Trading who was nominated or appointed by the Seller and owns any shares in PDITL and PD Trading or any of their respective subsidiaries (the “Thailand Director-Shareholders”) to sell, transfer and deliver all such shares to the Buyer.

4.16 0000 Xxxxxxxx Dividends. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that in the event PDITL or PD Trading declares and pays a dividend at its 2016 annual meeting of shareholders, then the Buyer shall promptly notify the Seller of such payment and make a payment in cash by wire transfer in pro rata amounts to the Seller and any Director-Shareholder that sold shares in PDITL or PD Trading to the Buyer pursuant to Section 4.15 above. The Parties shall treat any payments made pursuant to this Section 4.16 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes.

4.17 Reorganization.

(a) The Seller shall take such steps that are necessary or appropriate either to cause assets, liabilities and/or equity interests relating to businesses other than the Business to be sold, transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed to or assumed by, as applicable, Affiliates of the Seller (other than the Companies), in each case, effective at or prior to the relevant Closing (the “Reorganization”).

(b) Prior to the relevant Closing, the Seller will, and shall cause its Affiliates to, at the Seller’s sole cost and expense (provided, however, that nothing herein shall require the Seller to take any actions or incur any costs or expenses which they are not required to take or incur under Section 4.7 in order to effect the Reorganization) effect the Reorganization. The Seller and the Buyer agree and acknowledge that the Buyer’s consent shall not be required to make changes to the Reorganization.

4.18 NonCompetition Obligations of the Seller.

(a) For a period commencing from the relevant Closing Date until five (5) years after the relevant Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), without the prior written consent of the Buyer, neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates, will establish, own (other than the ownership of five percent (5%) or less of a publicly traded entity), lease, operate, manage, finance or control an entity engaged in, or engage in, either directly or knowingly indirectly, a business which competes with any product manufactured by the Business (as in existence on and during the two

(2) year period prior to the relevant Closing Date), which products are set forth on Exhibit 4.18, in Thailand, China, Australia and New Zealand (the “Restricted Region”) (a “Competing Business”); provided, that, there shall be no restrictions on the Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to the sale of (i) high-voltage and extra-high-voltage cables as part of the turnkey solutions offered by the Seller or any of its Affiliates, (ii) submarine power cables, and (iii) the sale of cables to nuclear power plants or intermediaries supplying these cables to nuclear power plants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the date of the Second Closing, the Restricted Region shall be limited to Thailand and only those products that are listed in Exhibit 4.18 that relate to products manufactured by PDITL shall be subject to restriction as set forth in this Section 4.18(a). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Second Closing does not occur, there shall be no restrictions on the Seller’s or its Affiliates’ business or operations in China, Australia or New Zealand.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.18(a) and without implication that the following activities otherwise would be subject to the provisions of Section 4.18(a), nothing in this Agreement shall preclude, prohibit or restrict the Seller or any of its Affiliates from providing assistance to the Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Should any portion, provision or clause of this Section 4.18 be deemed too broad to permit enforcement to its full extent, then it shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by Law, and each Party hereby consents and agrees that such scope may be judicially modified accordingly in any proceeding brought to enforce such restriction.

(d) The covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 4.18 shall be deemed and shall be construed as separate and independent covenants and agreements, and, should any portion thereof be held invalid, void or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, voidness, or unenforceability shall in no way render invalid, void or unenforceable any other portion thereof or any separate covenant or agreement not declared invalid, void or unenforceable; and this Section 4.18 shall in that case be construed as if the void, invalid or unenforceable portions were omitted. This Section 4.18 is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve Buyer’s legitimate business interests and the value of the Company Equity and the Purchased Assets and to prevent any unfair advantage conferred on the Seller.

(e) During the Restricted Period, if the Seller (or any of its Affiliates) acquires, either directly or through any Affiliate, ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power or equity interests of any Person (the “Target”) or all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Target (whether such acquisition of voting power or assets is through a purchase of securities, purchase of assets, merger, share exchange, consolidation or other form of business combination, and whether in one or a series of related transactions) that had, for the most recent fiscal year of the Target prior to the proposed transaction (the “Target Transaction”), gross revenues from a Competing Business in any individual country in the Restricted Region equal to or less than ten percent (10%)

of the aggregate gross revenues (determined on a consolidated basis) of the Target and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “Competing Business’s Gross Revenue Percentage”), then, following the closing of the Target Transaction, the Seller and/or its Affiliates shall grant the Buyer a right to purchase only such Competing Business of the Target: (i) on the same terms and conditions as Seller obtained the Target in the Target Transaction; and (ii) at a price that is equal to the Competing Business’s Gross Revenue Percentage multiplied by the total purchase price of the Target paid by the Seller and/or its Affiliates in the Target Transaction (the “Purchase Right”). Within thirty (30) days of the closing of the Target Transaction, the Seller shall provide written notice of the Purchase Right to the Buyer containing: (i) the percentage of the Competing Business of the Target; and (ii) the total purchase price paid for the Target (the “Purchase Right Notice”). The Buyer shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the receipt of the Purchase Right Notice to provide notice of intent to exercise such Purchase Right via written notice to the Seller (a “Notice of Exercise”). If: (i) the Purchase Right shall not have been exercised within the thirty (30) day period following the Buyer’s receipt of the Purchase Right Notice; or (ii) the Buyer and the Seller shall have not have closed the transaction with respect to the Competing Business of the Target during the sixty (60) day period following the Seller’s receipt of the Notice of Exercise, the Purchase Right shall expire and the Seller shall have no further restrictions or obligations with respect to the Competing Business of the Target. If the Target had, for the most recent fiscal year of the Target prior to the Target Transaction, gross revenues from a Competing Business in any individual country in the Restricted Region of greater than ten percent (10%) of the aggregate gross revenues (determined on a consolidated basis) of the Target and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, then, the Seller and/or its Affiliates shall seek consent of the Buyer prior to closing the Target Transaction, after which the remaining provisions of this Section 4.18 regarding the Purchase Right shall apply.

(f) For the purpose of this Section 4.18 only, “Affiliate” shall exclude any Person (and such Person’s Affiliates on or prior to the acquisition) who acquires directly or indirectly fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of the Seller (or the Seller’s Affiliates).

4.19 Conduct of Business post-Closing.

(a) Subject to the terms of the Thailand Trademark License Agreement and the China Trademark License Agreement, the Seller acknowledges and agrees that from the relevant Closing Date, the Buyer (and/or its Affiliates, including the Subject Companies) shall be entitled to use the intellectual property licensed to the Buyer (and/or its Affiliates, including the Subject Companies) in the Thailand Trademark License Agreement and the China Trademark License Agreement for the operation of the Business specifically in the jurisdictions contained in the Thailand Trademark License Agreement and the China Trademark License Agreement.

(b) For a period of six (6) months from the relevant Closing, subject to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement, the Seller (and/or its Affiliates) shall provide the

services set forth therein, for an amount payable to Seller (and/or its Affiliates) on a monthly basis equal to the Seller’s or its Affiliates’ cost plus ten percent (10%).

(c) For a period of six (6) months from the First Closing, subject to the terms of the Technical Support Agreement, the Seller (and/or its Affiliates) shall provide the services set forth therein (which services shall be limited to support the Business and the products manufactured by the Business at the existing facilities), for an amount payable to Seller (and/or its Affiliates) on a monthly basis equal to two hundred U.S. dollars ($200.00) per hour, for a maximum of five hundred (500) hours, plus the cost of all travel expenses incurred by Seller (and/or its Affiliates) in the performance of the services thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer agrees that requested travel to Thailand, China, Australia and/or New Zealand shall be limited and that if any such travel occurs during the term of the Technical Support Agreement, a minimum of fifty (50) hours of time per person shall be charged against the five hundred (500) hour limit, regardless of whether the actual work performed by the individual(s) traveling amounts to less than fifty (50) hours.

4.20 Further Assurances. From and after the relevant Closing, the Buyer and the Seller shall execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such other action as reasonably may be necessary to further effectuate the Transactions.

4.21 Transaction Documents. From and after the relevant Closing, the Buyer shall comply with the terms, conditions and covenants contained in each Transaction Document (including, without limitation, the Thailand Trademark License Agreement and the China Trademark License Agreement). Failure to comply with such terms, conditions and covenants of a Transaction Document shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement and such Transaction Document.

4.22 Lowest Price. For the purposes of the financial arrangements rules in the NZ Income Tax Act, the Parties agree that:

(a) the Asset Purchase Price, as adjusted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, is the lowest price (converted into New Zealand dollars using the exchange rate available from a New Zealand registered bank on the date that the first right in the Purchased Assets was transferred), that the Parties would have agreed for the sale and purchase of the Purchased Assets (after taking into account the assumption by the Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), on the date this Agreement was entered into, if payment would have been required in full at the time the first right in the Purchased Assets was transferred;

(b) the Australia Equity Purchase Price, as adjusted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, is the lowest price (converted into New Zealand dollars using the exchange rate available from a New Zealand registered bank on the date that the first right in the Australia Equity was transferred), that the Parties would have agreed for the sale and purchase of

the Australia Equity, on the date this Agreement was entered into, if payment would have been required in full at the time the first right in the Australia Equity was transferred;

(c) they will compute their taxable income for New Zealand Tax purposes for the relevant period on the basis that the Asset Purchase Price and the Australia Equity Purchase Price includes no capitalized interest and will file their Tax Return accordingly; and

(d) they are not associated for the purposes of the NZ Income Tax Act, and the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Australia Equity are transferred under this Agreement at their arm’s length value.

4.23 Assignments.

(a) Assignment. The Seller must use its reasonable endeavors to assign or novate its right and interest under the Business Agreements and obtain the consent (where necessary) of the other parties to the Consent Agreements to the assignment or novation of those agreements to the Buyer with effect from the Second Closing. The Buyer must assist the Seller to effect the assignments or novations and obtain the consents where necessary.

(b) Where Business Agreements not Assigned. The Seller must hold the benefit of any Business Agreements not assigned or novated on the Second Closing for the Buyer and the Buyer must properly perform the obligations of the Seller under those Business Agreements on the Seller’s behalf.

(c) Indemnity by the Buyer. The Buyer must assume, and fully and effectively perform, all obligations arising under the Business Agreements and the Assumed Liabilities and must indemnify the Seller and the Selling Affiliates against all liability or Loss arising from, and any costs, damages, Losses, charges or expenses incurred concerning, any failure by the Buyer or any Designated Affiliate to perform all such obligations following the Second Closing solely to the extent that any such failure to comply with such obligations arose after the Second Closing and except where such failure to perform occurs as a result of a default of the Seller or any Selling Affiliate prior to the Second Closing.

4.24 Designated Affiliates. The Buyer will use its commercially reasonably efforts to designate all of its Designated Affiliates as soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement and, in any event, will use its commercially reasonable efforts to make such designation not less than thirty (30) days prior to the relevant Closing.

4.25 PD Trading Equity. The Parties acknowledge that the transfer of the PD Trading Equity is subject to certain transfer restrictions under PD Trading’s Articles of Association. In

the event that due to such transfer restrictions, Thailand Holdings may not transfer any of the PD Trading Equity to the Buyer (or its Designated Affiliate) at the First Closing, the Parties shall agree on appropriate exclusion from the delivery at the First Closing and adjustment to the Purchase Price to reflect such exclusion of the PD Trading Equity as soon as practicable.

4.26 Lease Covenant. On or prior to the Second Closing, the Seller, with cooperation from the Buyer, agrees to procure that:

5.2 Indemnification by the Buyer. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this ARTICLE V, following the relevant Closing, the Buyer and the Subject Companies, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Seller and each of their Affiliates, including the Equity Sellers, and each of their respective successors, assigns, officers, directors, managers, members, partners, equityholders, employees, representatives and agents, and the Companies’ pre-Closing officers, directors, managers, members, partners, employees, representatives and agents, from and against, and hold them harmless from, any Loss suffered or incurred by any such Indemnified Person arising or resulting from (%3) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Buyer contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document which survives the relevant Closing, (%3) the breach of any covenant of the Buyer contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including the Thailand Trademark License Agreement and the China Trademark License Agreement), (%3) any post-Closing operations of the Subject Companies and their Affiliates, or (%3) any Action or Proceeding brought by any minority shareholders of PDITL or PD Trading in respect of the amendment of the Articles of Association of PDITL or PD Trading referenced in Section 6.1(f)(ii); provided that (x) no indemnification payments shall be made by or on behalf of the Buyer (and its Affiliate, if applicable) and the Subject Companies under this Agreement unless (1) the Loss related to each individual claim or series of related claims arising thereunder for which indemnification Liability would, but for this proviso, exist exceeds one hundred thousand U.S. Dollars ($100,000) and (2) the aggregate amount of all Loss (after taking into account the threshold amount referred to in (1) above) for which the Buyer (and its Affiliate, if applicable) and the Subject Companies would be liable, but for this proviso,

5.3 Losses Net of Insurance, Etc. Subject to the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE V, which terms and conditions shall not be applicable to any Losses arising from a breach of Section 4.8, Section 4.9, Section 4.11, the Thailand Trademark License Agreement or the China Trademark License Agreement, following the relevant Closing:

(a) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE V shall be net of any amounts (i) actually recovered or (ii) which are covered by, and recoverable, on a commercially reasonable basis, by the Indemnified Person, in each of (i) and (ii) under insurance policies in effect and applicable to such Loss.

(b) Any payment or indemnity required to be made pursuant to Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 shall be adjusted to take into account any reduction in Taxes that may be realized at any time by the Indemnified Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates (which term shall, for purposes of this paragraph, include the ultimate payer(s) of Taxes in the case of an Indemnified Person that is a branch or a disregarded entity or other pass-through entity for any Tax purpose) as a result of the Loss giving rise to the payment or indemnity. In determining the amount necessary to be added to any payment or indemnity in order to accomplish the foregoing, the Parties hereto agree to treat all Taxes required to be paid by, and all reductions in Tax realized by any Indemnified Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates, as if such Indemnified Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates were subject to Tax at the highest marginal Tax rates (for both federal and state, as determined on a combined basis) applicable to such Indemnified Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates.

(c) In connection with an Indemnified Person’s rights under this ARTICLE V, an Indemnified Person may only seek actual damages and may not seek any other damages, including but not limited to punitive, consequential (including lost profits) and incidental

damages, or damages argued to be associated with a diminution in value, as to any matter under, relating to or arising out of the Transaction Documents or the Transactions.

(d) Any Liability for indemnification under this ARTICLE V shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the set of facts giving rise to such Liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking, or one or more rights to indemnification. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding Section 5.1, the Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE V with respect to any Loss to the extent that any such Loss would constitute a duplicative payment of amounts recovered as a Purchase Price adjustment pursuant to Section 1.9 or such Loss is reflected as a Liability on the Financial Statements.

(e) No Person shall be entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE V with respect to any Loss that is attributable to any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Person or any of its Affiliates. The Indemnified Person shall cooperate with each Indemnifying Person with respect to resolving any Liabilities with respect to which such Person is obligated to indemnify the other Person, including by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such Liabilities. In the event that the Indemnified Person shall fail to cooperate and make such efforts to mitigate or resolve any such Liabilities, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, each Indemnifying Person shall not be required to indemnify any Person for any Loss that could reasonably be expected to have been avoided if the Indemnified Person had made such efforts. The Indemnified Person shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in addressing any Liabilities, events or actions that may provide the basis for indemnification hereunder (that is, such Indemnified Person shall respond to such Liability, event or action in the same manner that it would respond in the absence of the indemnification provided for in this Agreement, but in no event less than a commercially reasonable response).

(f) No Person shall be entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE V with respect to any Loss arising from: (i) any change in Law or policy or administrative practice of any Government Entity after the relevant Closing; or (ii) any change in relevant accounting standards or the application of accounting standards or policies applicable to the Subject Companies after the relevant Closing.

(g) When determining the amount of any indemnifiable Losses under this ARTICLE V, the amount subject to indemnification, including for purposes of determining whether any dollar thresholds have been reached, shall be subject to the Pro-Rata Percentage Interest. For purposes of clarity, for each identifiable dollar of indemnifiable Loss with respect to PDITL and PD Trading, the amount to be used for purposes of determining the indemnifiable Losses and relevant dollar thresholds under this ARTICLE V shall be 75.47% of each such dollar as it relates to PDITL and 49.00% of each such dollar as it relates to PD Trading.

(h) As between the Parties and any Indemnified Person and Indemnifying Person, the indemnification provisions contained in this ARTICLE V are intended to provide the

sole and exclusive remedy following the relevant Closing as to all Losses any Party may incur arising from or relating to the Transaction Documents (or the representations, warranties or covenants contained therein) or the Transactions, and each Party (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby waives, to the full extent they may do so, any other rights or remedies that may arise under contract, common law, or any applicable statute, rule or regulation and hereby covenants that it and all of its Affiliates shall refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any Action or Proceeding of any kind against any Person based on any matter purported to be waived hereby.

(i) Upon making any payment to an Indemnified Person for any indemnification claim pursuant to this ARTICLE V, the Indemnifying Person shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to any rights which the Indemnified Person or its Affiliates may have against any other Persons with respect to the subject matter underlying such indemnification claim and the Indemnified Person shall take such actions as the Indemnifying Person may reasonably require to perfect such subrogation or to pursue such rights against such other Persons as the Indemnified Person or its Affiliates may have.

(j) The indemnities herein are intended solely for the benefit of the Persons expressly identified in Section 4.8, Section 4.9, Section 4.11, Section 4.23(c) and this ARTICLE V (and their permitted successors and assigns) and are in no way intended to, nor shall they, constitute an agreement for the benefit of, or be enforceable by, any other Person.

The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless an Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 shall terminate on the date that the survival period for the applicable representation, warranty or covenant expires pursuant to Section 5.6; provided that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any specific matter as to which the Person to be indemnified shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Person containing (1) a detailed description and, if known, the estimated amount of any Loss incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Person together with such supporting documents reasonably available to such Indemnified Person, (2) a reasonable explanation of the basis for the Claim Notice to the extent of the facts then known by the Indemnified Person and (3) a demand for payment of such Loss.

5.5 Procedures Relating to Indemnification.

(a) In order for an Indemnified Person to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any third Person against the Indemnified Person (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Person must provide the Indemnifying Person with a Claim Notice regarding the Third-Party Claim promptly and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by such Indemnified Person of written notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the

Indemnifying Person shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any expense incurred during the period in which the Indemnified Person failed to give such notice). Thereafter, the Indemnified Person shall deliver to the Indemnifying Person, within five (5) Business Days after the Indemnified Person’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Person relating to the Third-Party Claim together with such supporting documents reasonably available to such Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Third-Party Claims with respect to Taxes shall be addressed in the manner set forth in Section 4.12(e).

(b) If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Person. If the Third-Party Claim includes allegations for which the Indemnifying Person both would and would not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall in that case jointly assume the defense thereof. Should the Indemnifying Person so elect to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Indemnifying Person will not be liable to the Indemnified Person for legal fees and expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Person assumes such defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate in the defense thereof and, at its own expense, to employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Person, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Person, it being understood that the Indemnifying Person shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Person for any period during which the Indemnifying Person has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Person shall have failed to give notice of the Third-Party Claim as provided above). If the Indemnifying Person chooses to defend or prosecute any Third-Party Claim, all the Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Person’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Person of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making officers, directors, employees and agents of the Indemnified Person available on a mutually convenient basis to provide information, testimony at depositions, hearings or trials, and such other assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Person. Whether or not the Indemnifying Person shall have assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall not admit any Liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Person’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Indemnifying Person shall not admit any Liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge any Third-Party Claim without the Indemnified Person’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Indemnified Person shall agree to any admission of Liability, settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Person may recommend and that by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Person to pay the full amount of the

Liability in connection with such Third-Party Claim and which releases the Indemnified Person completely in connection with such Third-Party Claim.

All representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall survive the relevant Closing and remain in full force and effect as follows: (a) for a period of twelve (12) months following the relevant Closing Date, with respect to all representations and warranties and any covenant or agreement to be performed prior to the relevant Closing (other than with respect to the representation and warranty in Section 3.3 (Ownership) which shall survive the relevant Closing and remain in full force and effect until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations), or (b) with respect to each other covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, until the last date on which such covenant or agreement is to be performed or, if no such date is specified, for a period of twelve (12) months.

TERMINATION

8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated:

(a) at any time prior to the relevant Closing by mutual written agreement of the Buyer and the Seller;

(b) by either the Buyer or the Seller if a material breach of any provision of this Agreement has been committed (in the case of termination by the Buyer, a breach by the Seller, and in the case of termination by the Seller, a breach by the Buyer), such breach results in a relevant Closing condition becoming incapable of being satisfied and such material breach has not been waived in writing; provided that a material breach described above shall not give rise to a right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b) unless and until (i) the non-breaching Party delivers a written notice to the breaching Party, notifying the breaching Party of the breach (including a reasonable description thereof) and (ii) the breaching Party fails to cure such breach within ten (10) days after delivery of such written notice;

(c) (i) by the Buyer, if any of the conditions in Section 6.1 has not been satisfied as of the relevant Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes

incapable of fulfillment (other than through the failure of the Buyer to comply with its obligations under this Agreement) and the Buyer has not waived in writing such condition on or before the relevant Closing Date; or (ii) by the Seller, if any of the conditions in Section 6.2 has not been satisfied as of the relevant Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes incapable of fulfillment (other than through the failure of the Seller to comply with its obligations under this Agreement) and the Sellers has not waived in writing such condition on or before the relevant Closing Date;

(d) by either the Buyer or the Seller if (i) the Transactions shall violate any Order that shall have become final and nonappealable or (ii) there shall be a Law which makes the Transactions illegal or otherwise prohibited; or

(e) by the Buyer or the Seller if the Second Closing shall not have occurred on or before December 31, 2015; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this subsection (e) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closings to occur prior to such date;

provided that the Party seeking termination pursuant to Sections (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) above is not then in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, provided further that such notice of termination is provided in writing.

8.2 Effect of Termination. Each Party’s right of termination under Section 8.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of such right of termination will not be an election of remedies. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, all obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will terminate, except that the obligations of the Parties in this Section 8.2, Section 2.3 (Broker Fees), Section 4.5 (Publicity and Confidentiality), and ARTICLE IX (Miscellaneous) will survive; provided that, if this Agreement is terminated because of a breach of this Agreement by the non-terminating Party or because one or more of the conditions to the terminating Party’s obligations under this Agreement are not satisfied as a result of the non-terminating Party’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, the terminating Party’s right to pursue all legal remedies will survive such termination unimpaired. In the event of termination of this Agreement, and regardless of the reason for the termination, the Confidentiality Agreement and any agreement executed by the Buyer in connection with the receipt of the Confidential Information Memoranda of the Company shall continue in full force and effect.

ARTICLE IX

9.8 Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative.

9.13 Disclosure Schedules. The Seller Disclosure Schedule shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: (a) all disclosures in the Financial Statements shall be deemed to be disclosed on all sections of the Disclosure Schedules; (b) any item disclosed in any particular part of the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to be disclosed in all parts of the Disclosure Schedules; (c) no disclosure of any matter contained in the Disclosure Schedules shall create an implication that such matter meets any standard of materiality (matters reflected in the Disclosure Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Disclosure Schedules; such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature, nor shall the inclusion of any item be construed as implying that any such item is “material” for any purpose); (d) any disclosures contained in the Disclosure Schedules which refer to a document are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of such document, a true and complete copy of which was included in the due diligence information supplied to the Buyer; and (e) headings and introductory language have been inserted on the sections of the Disclosure Schedules for convenience of reference only and shall to no extent have the effect of amending or changing the express description of the sections as set forth in this Agreement.

It is further understood that any certificate or certification contemplated by this Agreement and executed by an officer of a Party shall be deemed to have been delivered only in such officer’s capacity as an officer of such Party (and not in his or her individual capacity) and shall not entitle any Party to assert a claim against such officer in his or her individual capacity.

9.15 Construction. In construing this Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the following principles shall be followed: (a) the terms “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder” and other similar terms refer to this Agreement as a whole and not only to the particular Article, Section or other subdivision in which any such terms may be employed; (b) except as otherwise set forth herein, references to Articles, Sections, Schedules and Exhibits refer to the Articles, Sections, Schedules and Exhibits of this Agreement, which are incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement; (c) a reference to any Person shall include such Person’s predecessors; (d) all accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in accordance with GAAP; (e) no consideration shall be given to the headings of the Articles, Sections, Schedules, Exhibits, subdivisions, subsections or clauses, which are inserted for convenience in locating the provisions of this Agreement and not as an aid in its construction; (f) the word “includes” and “including” and their syntactical variants mean “includes, but is not limited to” and “including, without limitation,” and corresponding syntactical variant expressions; (g) a defined term has its defined meaning throughout this Agreement, regardless of whether it appears before or after the place in this Agreement where it is defined, including in any Schedule or Exhibit; (h) the word “dollar” and the symbol “$” refer to the lawful currency of the United States of America; and (i) the plural shall be deemed to include the singular and vice versa.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms and the terms hereof.

9.17 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof.

9.18 Mutual Drafting. The Parties hereto are sophisticated and have been represented by counsel who have carefully negotiated the provisions hereof. As a consequence, the Parties do not intend that the presumptions of any Laws or other rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter of any particular clause should be applied to this Agreement and therefore waive their effects.

9.19 Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by facsimile or email, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more such counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Party.

9.20 Limitation on Liability. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF REVENUE OR LOST SALES) IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIMS, LOSSES, DAMAGES OR INJURIES ARISING OUT OF THE CONDUCT OF SUCH PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE NONPERFORMING PARTY WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR NOT.

9.21 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the Buyer in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by the Buyer. The Parties accordingly agree that, prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, in addition to any other remedy to which the Parties are entitled at law or in equity, each Party is entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other Party and otherwise to enforce specifically the provisions of this Agreement against such Party.

9.22 No Joint Venture. Nothing in this Agreement creates a joint venture or partnership between the Parties.

The Parties are independent contractors with respect to each other under this Agreement. Each Party agrees not to hold itself out as having any authority or relationship contrary to this Section 9.22.

9.23 Effectiveness. This Agreement, for purposes of enforceability in the PRC, shall become effective on the date on which this Agreement is approved by the China Approval
