20.	FUTURE FUNDING OF THE COMPANY


20.1	The Shareholders

intend that the Company shall be a financially independent entity and be only financed from its registered capital paid up from time to time, any loans agreed to be provided by Shareholders and from the cash-flow of the Business unless otherwise agreed by the Shareholders.

20.2

Subsequent to injection of the prescribed registered capital contributions and Shareholder Loans in accordance with Clauses 5, 5A and 7A, the Shareholders are obligated to make additional registered capital contributions and/or Shareholder Loans to the Company in the Applicable Percentages in accordance with the mutually agreed Business Plan provided that in no event shall the Shareholders be obligated to make additional registered capital

______________

** CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

contributions and/or Shareholder Loans to the Company (i.e. in addition to the aggregate amount of US$[**] to be injected by the Shareholders pursuant to Clauses 5, 5A and 7A) in excess of US$[**] (in the Applicable Percentages) (the “Cap”). If the Board determines that the Company requires additional financing which is not covered by the mutually agreed Business Plan or which exceeds the Cap (and such financing would not be for purposes of funding an Excluded Item, in respect of which the provisions of Clause 21 will apply), the Shareholders agree that:

(i)

the Board may arrange for the Company to seek to obtain such additional financing by borrowing the amount required from such external third party sources (including banks) as the Board may select on the terms as the Board considers appropriate (an “External Borrowing”). Under such circumstances, the Shareholders shall actively advise, assist and co-operate with the Company in its efforts to obtain the External Borrowing;

(j)

the Company may also obtain additional financing by way of Shareholder Loans in the event that the Board determines Shareholder Loans are the best course of action. Under such circumstances, the Shareholders shall have the option (but shall not be obligated) to provide the Shareholder Loans in proportion to their respective Equity Interests. If a Shareholder elects not to inject part or all of its portion of additional Shareholder Loans, the other Shareholder may choose to fund the shortfall by way of additional Shareholder Loans. It is expressly agreed that Swire shall not be obligated to inject any Shareholder Loans if the additional financing is for purposes not contemplated by, or consistent with, the mutually agreed Business Plan or if it exceeds the Cap; and

(k)

to the extent that any additional Shareholder Loans to be made pursuant to Clause 20.2(b) (whether by both Shareholders or by one Shareholder only) will fall outside the total investment level limits prescribed by PRC law, the Shareholders will cause sufficient portion of the existing Shareholder Loans in the Applicable Percentages to be converted to registered capital of the Company so as to allow such relevant additional Shareholder Loans to be made within the legal total investment level limits. Any conversion of the existing Shareholder Loans to registered capital of the Company shall not result in any dilution of Equity Interest held by each Shareholder.

______________

** CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.


20.3	Except as provided in Clause 7A.4, all Shareholder Loans shall be subject to the interest rate per annum determined based on the benchmark rate for RMB loans for a comparable term of years as prescribed from time to time by the People’s Bank of China.

20.4

The Company may repay certain Shareholder Loans to the Shareholders prior to the Option Completion Date to the extent that the Shareholders mutually agree there is a cash surplus to the business funding requirements forecast set out in the mutually agreed revised Business Plan for the period from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2018, and the Shareholders agree in writing on the amount and timing of such repayment of Shareholder Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, the future funding provisions in Clause 20 will continue to apply in respect of any business funding requirements which arise after (i) the repayment of Shareholder Loans in accordance with this Clause 20.4 and (ii) 31 December 2018.

(b)	[] has proposed that the Company [] which:


(i)	[] as being beneficial for the Company’s long-term growth and which [] as being [] as a [];


(ii)	constitute a Reserved Matter specified in paragraph 5 of Section I of Part B of Schedule 4; and


(iii)	have not been consented to [**] in accordance with Clause 9.1.

Notwithstanding that a decision may constitute a Reserved Matter, the parties agree that the Company may proceed with Excluded Item(s) on condition that [**] shall be solely responsible for [**] through a [**].

the rules relating to calculation of turnover and application of the turnover thresholds set out in the Measures on Notification of Concentration of Undertaking of the Anti-Monopoly Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce (“Annual Turnover Threshold”), does not meet such thresholds and covenants that prior to consenting to the filing of the application to form the Company, it will confirm to Swire that as of such date, whether its Annual Turnover Threshold then meets such thresholds.

______________

** CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

104

46.1

In addition to the guarantee obligations set forth in Clause 33, and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Clause 46, each of CS Hong Kong and Swire shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other, as well as its successors and permitted assigns (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against, and shall promptly pay or reimburse each Indemnified Party for, any and all Losses sustained or incurred by any Indemnified Party resulting from:


(d)	any breach of a representation or warranty made by the indemnifying party or its Affiliate herein or in any other Transaction Document delivered pursuant to this Agreement;


(e)	any breach of any covenant or obligation existing on the part of such indemnifying party as set forth herein that survives the Live Date;


(f)	any claim or assertion for obligations in respect of costs as described in Clause 31;


(g)	the failure of the other party or Swire Resources (as the case may be) to comply with any tax rules then applicable to it in relation to the transfer of the relevant Option Equity Interests or the Relevant Option Shares contemplated under this Agreement;


(h)	any default under or wrongful termination by the indemnifying party or its Affiliate of any Transaction Document.

46.2

In the event that any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion of any claim, issuance of any order or the commencement of any action or proceeding by any person who is not a party or an Affiliate of a party, including any domestic or foreign court or Governmental Authority (a “Third-Party Claim”), against such Indemnified Party and for which a party is or may be required to provide indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnifying Party”), then such Indemnified Party shall give written notice thereof, together with a statement of any available information regarding such Third-Party Claim to such Indemnifying Party within ninety (90) after learning of such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such written notice within any particular time period shall not adversely affect the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification except, and to the extent that, the Indemnifying Party can show that the failure to give such notification on a timely basis adversely affected the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, within 30 days after receipt from the Indemnified Party of notice of such Third-Party Claim,

______________

** CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

105

to conduct, at its expense, the defense against such Third-Party Claim in its own name, or if necessary in the name of the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not elect, or under relevant law may not elect, to conduct the defense of the subject Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party may conduct the defense of the subject Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnified Party such assistance and materials as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does elect to conduct the defense of the subject Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party will cooperate in good faith with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as may be reasonably requested by it, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to compromise and settle the Third-Party Claim only with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will not enter into any settlement of any Third-Party Claim or cease to defend against such Third-Party Claim, if pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, (i) injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnified Party, or (ii) each claimant or plaintiff in such Third-Party Claim has not given to the Indemnified Party an unconditional release from all Liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of any Third-Party Claim in the event of a proceeding to which the Indemnifying Party is also a party and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that a material conflict exists as a result of the Indemnifying Party’s control over such proceedings.


46.3	Notwithstanding anything contained in this Clause 46 to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of any Third-Party Claim if the Third-Party Claim relates to taxes or if any of the following conditions are not satisfied:


(j)	the Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge in writing that it shall be fully responsible for all Losses relating to such proceeding;


(k)	the Indemnifying Party must diligently defend such proceeding promptly following written demand therefor;


(l)	the Indemnifying Party must furnish the Indemnified Party with reasonable evidence that the financial resources of the Indemnifying Party, in the Indemnified Party’s

______________

** CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

106

reasonable judgment, is and will be sufficient (when considering Losses in respect of all other outstanding claims) to satisfy any Losses reasonably likely to be incurred in connection with such proceeding;


(m)	such proceeding shall not involve criminal actions or allegations of criminal conduct by the Indemnifying Party, and shall not involve claims for specific performance or other equitable relief; and


(n)	there does not exist, in the Indemnified Party’s good faith judgment, based on the advice of outside legal counsel, a conflict of interest which, under applicable principles of legal ethics, could reasonably be expected to prohibit a single legal counsel from representing both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in such proceeding.


47.	GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION


47.1	This Agreement and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter, existence, negotiation, validity, termination or enforceability (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong without reference to that jurisdiction’s choice of law provisions.

47.2

The Shareholders shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement promptly by negotiation between executives who have authority to settle the controversy and who are at a higher level of management than the persons with direct responsibility for administration of this Agreement. Any Shareholder may give to the other written notice of any dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. Within 15 days after delivery of the notice, the receiving Shareholder shall submit to the other Shareholder a written response. The notice and response shall include (a) a statement of that Shareholder’s position and a summary of arguments supporting that position, and (b) the name and title of the executive who will represent that Shareholder and of any other person who will accompany the executive. Within 30 days after delivery of the initial notice, the executives of both Shareholders shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the dispute. All reasonable requests for information made by one Shareholder to the other will be honored. All negotiations pursuant to this clause are confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence.

47.3

Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the breach, termination or validity thereof, which has not been resolved by negotiation as provided herein within 45 days after delivery of the initial notice of negotiation, or if the Shareholders failed to meet within 20 days, shall be finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules for the time being in force, by a sole arbitrator to be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) in accordance with the Rules of ICC as Appointing Authority. The ICC shall also serve as the administrative body of the arbitration. The place of arbitration shall be Paris. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English.
