that it is hereby agreed that if a guarantee is required by the Lender from the Shareholders of the Company in respect of the Loan, then it will be contributed on the basis that Kriss or an Associate or a holding company of Kriss provides a guarantee of 50% of the liability of the Company and that Teekay or an Associate or a holding company of Teekay provides a guarantee of 50% of the liability of the Company; and

If the Company shall notify the Vendor within 28 days after the later of the date of service of the Sale Notice or the determination of the Transfer Price (the “Acceptance Period”) that the other Shareholder has agreed to purchase the Sale Shares (including the Shareholder Loans) (such notice to specify whether the other Shareholder agrees to purchase at the price fixed by the Vendor in the Sale Notice or at the Transfer Price) the Vendor shall be bound, upon payment by the other Shareholder of the price for the Sale Shares (including the Shareholder Loans) fixed by the Vendor in the Sale Notice or, as the case may be, the Transfer Price, to transfer the Sale Shares (including the Shareholder Loans) to the other Shareholder. The other Shareholder shall be bound to pay the Vendor the price for the Sale Shares (including the Shareholder Loans) purchased by it within 14 days of the expiry of the Acceptance Period.

Subject to clause 17, the failure by the person or persons who failed to attend the original meeting to attend the re-convened meeting without reasonable cause shall entitle the Shareholder or the Directors present at the reconvened meeting to pass such resolutions regarding the matters for consideration at such meeting and to commit the Company accordingly.

If the Shareholders are unable to resolve any deadlock as to the operation of the Company such that either Shareholder elects by notice in writing given to the other Shareholder to invoke the procedure set out in this Clause 14.2, within 30 days of the receipt by the other Shareholder of such notice, each Shareholder shall deliver a sealed tender addressed to the other Shareholder for all the Shares in the Company owned by the other Shareholder and shall deposit such tender with the auditors for the time being of the Company.

The auditors shall forthwith declare the highest tender and the successful tenderer shall within 14 days of the auditors’ said declaration pay the other Shareholder the amount tendered for the other Shareholder’s shares together with any other amounts due as hereinafter provided and the other Shareholder shall forthwith upon receipt of such moneys transfer to the successful tenderer all the Shares in the Company and Shareholder Loans belonging to the other Shareholder. All such tenders shall be based on the net asset

DEFAULT

If a Shareholder shall be in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement or if a default under the Loan Agreement or Security Documents shall occur as a result of the act or omission of a Shareholder (the Shareholder in breach or otherwise in default is called herein the “Defaulting Party”), then the other Shareholder may give notice (the “Default Notice”) of such default to the Defaulting Party.

If the Defaulting Party has not remedied the default in question within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the Default Notice then, but without prejudice to any other remedies the other Shareholder may have (including the right to recover from the Defaulting Party any moneys then due from the Defaulting Party, while giving credit for any moneys owed to the Defaulting Party by the other Shareholder), the Defaulting Party shall be deemed to have given notice to the Company and the other Shareholder effective on the last day of the said thirty (30) day period in respect of all its Shares in the Company and its Shareholder Loan offering them for sale to the other Shareholder and specifying as the fair value and consideration

In such event, the Defaulting Party shall be deemed to constitute the Company as the Defaulting Party’s agent for the sale of the Sale Shares (which expression shall mean the Shares and Shareholder Loans of the Defaulting Party) to the other Shareholder.

The other Shareholder, provided it is willing and agrees, (such agreement to be irrevocable) may purchase the Sale Shares at the said price of HK$ 1.00 or, if higher, the Transfer Price fixed pursuant to Clause 15.4.

Once notice is deemed to be given as provided above the Defaulting Party may not withdraw from such sale of the Sale Shares without the consent in writing of the other Shareholder. Unless the other Shareholder shall agree a Transfer Price with the Defaulting Party or that the Defaulting Party need not sell the Sale Shares, the Company shall instruct its auditors to determine the Transfer Price.

The Company shall notify the Defaulting Party within 28 days after the later of the date upon which notice is deemed to have been given or the determination of the Transfer Price (the “Acceptance Period”) whether the other Shareholder has agreed to purchase the Sale Shares.

The Defaulting Party shall be bound, upon payment by the other Shareholder of the price of HK$ 1.00 for the Sale Shares or, as the case may be, the Transfer Price, to transfer the Sale Shares to the other Shareholder.

The other Shareholder shall be bound to pay the Defaulting Party the relevant price fixed for the Sale Shares within 14 days of the expiry of the Acceptance Period.

If a Shareholder is dissolved, goes into liquidation or appoints, or there is appointed a receiver or manager of all or a part of its assets, or there is a breach by that Shareholder of the terms of Clause 13, such Shareholder or, as the case may be, the liquidator or receiver or manager of that Shareholder shall be deemed to have given notice to the Company as described in the 15.1 (b) at a price equal to the Transfer Price. The date upon which such notice shall be deemed to be given shall be the date of the dissolution of the Shareholder or the appointment of the liquidator or receiver or manager as the case may be. A Shareholder to whom the provisions of this Clause 15.3 apply is called a “Dissolving Party” in Clause 15.4.

(a) The Transfer Price for the Sale Shares shall be the sum of:

the amount that would be realised in respect of any Shareholder Loan then owing to the Defaulting Party or Dissolving Party (minus any amounts owing by the Defaulting Party or Dissolving Party to the Company and to the other Shareholder in respect of the Company and its affairs), if the Company were to be placed in liquidation at the time at which the notice of sale of the Sale Shares is deemed to be given, taking into account all other actual and contingent liabilities of the Company and any priority or preferment accorded to any creditor of the Company, whether pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Security Documents or otherwise, on the basis that such priority or preferment has been validly and effectively granted to the creditor in question and calculated on the basis that all other unsecured or non preferred obligations of the Company rank and shall be paid in priority to the Shareholder Loans; plus

the value of the Shares held by the Defaulting Party or Dissolving Party calculated on the same basis as described above, provided that if the value ascribed to the Sale Shares is a negative value, the Transfer Price shall be deemed to be HK$ 1.00 for all of the Sale Shares.
