3. Each Party hereby confirms to the other Party that all the contracts in
relation to the Related Interests and Assets, the Related Liabilities,
the Related Personnel and the Related Services under Agreement One
shall be transferred to Shandong Mobile. However, due to the time limit
and the enormous amount involved, the transfer of certain contracts may
have not been approved by the other party/parties thereto (the
"Non-Transferred Contracts"). For such Non-Transferred Contracts, the
Parties hereby agree and confirm as follows:
(1) As of the Effective Date (as defined in Agreement One), the
rights and liabilities, as well as the gains and losses of the
Service Company generated from the Non-Transferred Contracts
shall be owned or assumed by Shandong Mobile (unless otherwise
stipulated in this Agreement ), notwithstanding the fact that
such Non-Transferred Contracts are still held by and performed
in the name of the Service Company. The Service Company agrees
to act as the trustee of Shandong Mobile to receive or hold
any interests generated from the Non-Transferred Contracts
(including but not limited to certain goods and loans) on
behalf of Shandong Mobile, and that such interests are owned
by Shandong Mobile. Upon demand, the Service Company shall
deliver such interests to Shandong Mobile;
(2) The Service Company shall exercise or perform the rights and
liabilities under the Non-Transferred Contracts strictly in
accordance with the instructions given by Shandong Mobile from
time to time, and shall not amend any terms of the
Non-Transferred Contracts or terminate the same without
Shandong Mobile's prior written consent thereto;
(3) The reasonable expenses incurred by the Service Company for
the purpose of performing the obligations under paragraph 3(1)
above shall be reimbursed by Shandong Mobile, except expenses
incurred as a result of negligence or fault on the part of, or
other reasons caused by, the Service Company;
(4) If, as a result of the Service Company's negligence, fault or
other reasons caused by the Service Company in connection with
its holding or performing the Non-Transferred Contracts in its
name and on behalf of Shandong Mobile under this Agreement,
Shandong Mobile sustains any losses therefrom (including but
not limited to legal action expenses and damages ), the
Service Company shall sufficiently compensate Shandong Mobile
for such losses in a timely manner; and
(5) If there arises such a need that the rights of Shandong Mobile
under the Non-Transferred Contracts (including the rights to
initiate legal proceedings or arbitration, or to take other
necessary actions) be exercised by the Service Company in its
name, the Service Company shall assist Shandong Mobile by
exercising such rights in the Service Company's name.
4. The Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with
the laws of PRC.
