3.2 Acquisition Price

The Parties have determined that the acquisition price is Renminbi Ninety-Six Million (RMB96,000,000).


3.3 Adjustment to Acquisition Price

  (a) As the cost to be incurred by ABS in connection with the implementation of the project after the Accounting Date cannot be examined independently, the Parties agree to examine the actual Gross Profit of ABS for the period of April 1, 2006 to March 31, 2007 ("Actual Gross Profit") by reference to the projected Gross Profit of ABS for the period of April 1, 2006 to March 31, 2007 ("Projected Gross Profit", which is RMB 32,150,000, as detailed in Exhibit C) and adjust the acquisition price provided in Clause 3.1 on the basis of the result of the examination.

  (b) If the Actual Gross Profit of ABS reaches over (but not including, as to be similarly construed below) 115% of the Projected Gross Profit, then 50% of the amount in excess of 115% (RMB 37,000,000) shall belong to the Seller.

  (c) If the Actual Gross Profit of ABS is between 85% and 115% of the Projected Gross Profit, then no adjustment shall be made to the acquisition price provided in Clause 3.2.

  (d) If the Actual Gross Profit of ABS is below 85% of the Projected Gross Profit (RMB 27,330,000), then the acquisition price shall be deducted in proportion to the shortfall by an amount to be calculated in this formula: acquisition price x (85% - percentage actually achieved).


  (e) Calculation of performance results: contract payments under the sales contracts entered into by ABS as of March 31, 2007 which are to be received by ABS by June 30, 2007 according to the payment terms thereof or which are actually received by ABS by June 30, 2007 thereunder shall be deemed realized performance results of ABS.

  (f) Settlement: settlement is to be made on June 30, 2007 and adjustment is to be made upon payment of the third installment of the acquisition price.

3.4 Payment Terms

The acquisition price shall be denominated in Renminbi and paid in US Dollar, with 25% of it to be converted into shares in the Purchaser. Timing of payment shall be in the following four phases:


  (a) Down payment: Within 20 Business Days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller 50% of the acquisition price, being RMB 48,000,000, in cash. The exchange rate of US Dollar to Renminbi in connection therewith shall be based on the midpoint of the exchange rate quoted by the paying bank on the date hereof.

  (b) The second installment: On or before December 31, 2006, the Purchaser shall vest in the Seller the shares that correspond to 25% of the acquisition price, being RMB 24,000,000. The exchange rate of US Dollar to Renminbi in connection therewith shall be based on the midpoint of the exchange rate quoted by the paying bank on the Closing Date, and the price of the shares in the Purchaser shall be based on the price offered to Tiger Funds upon its investment in the Purchaser, being US$5.5227 per share.

  (c) The third installment: On or before July 31, 2007, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller 20% of the acquisition price, being RMB 19,200,000, in cash. If the performance results of ABS for the Year of 2006 fail to reach 85% of the Projected Gross Profit, the amount of the acquisition price to be deducted shall be deducted from the third installment of the acquisition price in accordance with the provisions of Clause 3.3(d).

  (d) The last installment: In preparation for any unforeseeable contingent liabilities of the Seller or similar circumstances, 5% of the acquisition price, being RMB 4,800,000, as the last installment of the acquisition price, shall be paid to the Seller in cash on or before December 31, 2007.

3.2 In any of the following circumstances the Seller shall be under no liability in respect of any Claim:

  (b) to the extent that such Claim would not have arisen but for an act or omission made by the Purchaser or the Group after the signing of this Deed, or to the extent that such Claim would have been reasonably capable of being avoided, or to the extent that such Claim arises as a result of any act or omission made at the request or with prior written consent of the Purchaser;

  (c) to the extent that such Claim arises as a result of the adoption or a change of any law, rule, regulation, interpretation, or a change in the administrative measures of any government, government department, agency or regulatory authority (whether or not with retrospective effect);

  (d) to the extent that such Claim arises as a result of any increase in rates of taxation with retrospective effect after the Accounting Date, or to the extent that the primary liability and tax arise in the ordinary course of business after the Accounting Date;

  (e) to the extent that such Claim arises as a result of a change in the accounting policy after the date of the Agreement with the consent of the Purchaser; and

5. Reimbursement

If any company of the Group (whether by payment or by the loss of any tax reduction, tax exemption, tax credit or right to tax refund) has discharged any Claim relevant for the purposes of this Deed, the Seller and the Guarantor shall forthwith repay or reimburse the Group for the relevant loss.


6. Conduct of Claims

6.1 If the Purchaser becomes aware of any Claim relevant for the purposes of this Deed, it shall as soon as possible give notice thereof to the Seller and the Guarantor and shall (subject to the Purchaser and any company of the Group being indemnified against any liability, costs, losses or expenses which may be incurred thereby) take such action as the Seller and the Guarantor may reasonably request to avoid, resist, dispute, defend, compromise or appeal against the Claim, provided that none of the Purchaser and any company of the Group shall be required to admit liability or guilt or take any step which would affect the future development of their business or affect the rights and reputations of any of them, nor shall they be required to take any such action unless the Seller and the Guarantor produce to them a leading barrister's opinion (or the opinion of a Chinese licensed lawyer acceptable to both Parties if such action primarily involves mainland China) that such action is reasonable.

6.2 Without the written consent of the Seller, the Purchaser and any company of the Group shall not acknowledge or tacitly acknowledge the claim right of the claimant or compromise with the claimant.

If any provision of this Deed becomes illegal,


invalid or unenforceable at any time, the legality, validity and enforceability of other provisions of this Deed shall not be affected or prejudiced thereby.


9. Liability of the Seller
