1. Immunity from Offsetting, Withholding or Deduction
The consideration to be effected by “KHS” as referred to in the above Article 5.1 (Consideration for the Sale Equity Interest) or any payment whatsoever to be made by “KHS” under any of the other Articles of this Agreement shall be so effected or made in full amount, being immune from any offsetting, restriction or condition as may be imposed, or any deduction or retention to be made or caused on the ground or basis of any counterclaim; in addition, the above consideration or payment shall not be subject to deduction or withholding of or in respect of any tax, unless “KHS” is required to make such deduction or withholding under the PRC laws. If “KHS” is required to, on the occasion of effecting the above consideration, make deduction or withholding of or in respect of any tax whatsoever under the laws of any country other than the “PRC” (including but not limited to German laws), “KHS” shall pay an additional sum in favour of the Sellers so as to ensure the actual amount received by the Sellers to equal such amount of the consideration as “KHS” would have paid under this Agreement prior to such deduction or withholding. If “KHS” is required to withhold any tax as to the consideration referred to in the above Article 5.1 (Consideration for the Sale Equity Interest) or on the occasion of making any payment under any of the other Articles of this Agreement, the “Sellers” agree to provide “KHS” with all necessary information to enable “KHS” to withhold a proper amount thereof.

In case a Party gives the said notice to the Transferring Party within the Notification Period, the sale of equity interests to such party shall be consummated within 60 working days after the same notice is given. In an alternative case where more than one Party gives the said notice within the Notification Period to the Transferring Party, stating their wish to purchase the concerned equity interests at the Reserve Price and to undertake pro rata any funding by the Transferring Party in favour of the relevant Member Company, such equity interests shall be distributed among the wishing Parties as agreed therebetween.
(C) In the event the other Parties either fail to make a reply or have made a negative reply as to the contemplated transfer within the Notification Period, the Transferring Party may transfer the concerned equity interests to a bona fide buying third party at a price not less than the Reserve Price and under terms and conditions not more favourable than those offered to the other Parties.

In 2002, the Company entered into a technology transfer agreement with a third party whereby the Company purchased technology, patents and licenses in exchange for cash of US$15,000,000, 1,666,667 Series B convertible preference shares valued at US$2,750,000 and a US$15,000,000 non-interest bearing redeemable convertible promissory note which is callable by the holder. The Company has recorded a discount for the imputed interest on the redeemable convertible promissory note which has been recorded as a direct reduction of the face amount of the note. The Company calculated the discount using an effective interest rate of 3.69%, resulting in a discount of approximately US$971,000. The conversion period expires upon the earlier of August 2004 and the twentieth day following the date on which the Company delivers to the noteholder a notice in writing of the Company’s decision to make an initial public offering of its shares within six months of the date of such notice.

As a result, the Company expensed the remaining note discount in 2003 and has reclassified it as a current liability.

Source text - Chinese 个股层面，最初Wysocki(1998)的研究发现，夜间股票相关帖子发布数量与成交量相关。基于雅虎金融（Finance!Yahoo）和愤怒的公牛（Raging Bull）的发帖数据，Antweiler 和 Frank(2004)研究表明，帖子信息能够帮助预测股票波动性和股票收益率，但收益率经济意义不显著。此外，涨/跌情绪分歧都越大，股票交易量越大。Sprenger等(2014b)研究表明Tweet中包含的情绪与股票收益率显著相关，同时每日微博数量越多，股票成交量越大，微博涨跌情绪分歧度与股票波动性也显著相关。
Translation - English As to individual stocks, the quantity of stock-related messages posted at night correlates with the trading volume, as was indicated at first by the findings of some study conducted by Wysocki (1998). Based on certain data on postings sourced from Yahoo Finance and Raging Bull and as shown in the research carried out by Antweiler and Frank (2004), the information contained in posts can help with the predication of both stock volatility and stock return, but stock return is not of conspicuous significance in economic terms. In addition, the larger the measure of variance in market sentiment on upward/downward movement is, the greater the stock trading volume will turn out to be. According to the study conducted by Sprenger et al. (2014b), the sentiment contained in Tweet correlates markedly with the stock return. Meanwhile, the heavier the daily load of micro-blogging entries is, the greater the stock trading volume comes out to be, whilst the measure of variance in market sentiment of micro-bloggers on upward/downward movement also correlates markedly with the stock volatility.

Source text - Chinese 既然如此，那为什么索罗斯的一句话，就让中国当局如此大动肝火呢？因为心虚。多年来的唱衰不值一提，只因经济表现好，信心足。可是，近几年中国经济数据开始越来越难看，已经走上了减缓衰退的道路。在心惊胆寒、如履薄冰之际，最怕有人火上浇油，所以要不惜余力地予以警告和痛斥。实际上，阿里巴巴在美国成功上市也只代表中国经济在国际舞台的回光返照，没坚持多久就跌破了发行价。
Translation - English That being so, why did the Chinese authorities fly into such a rage at a mere remark made by Soros? The answer is a somewhat guilty conscience. Taking in stride the smearing from some detractors for years, the Chinese authorities used to possess a bolstered confidence thanks to the brilliant performance of her national economy. However, data on China’s economy in recent years have appeared to be increasingly unpalatable, signifying a looming slow-down. At such a critically delicate moment when her national economy seems to be skating on thin ice now, the very last thing the Chinese authorities wish to see is anyone pouring oil on the flames. Thus, they have spared no effort to issue warnings and heap reproaches. In point of fact, the success of Alibaba in getting listed in the United States merely stood for a fleeting, unendurable recovery of China’s economy in the global arena, since its shares fell below the price at which they floated shortly after the floatation.

Source text - English The sector is trading at a 38% NAV discount, 6.9x 2017 PE and 1.0 x 2016 PB, all close to their historical averages since 2011. From our cycle analysis, the housing market is in a downward phase and in a comparable situation to the start of 4Q13 in the last cycle. During that time, China property stocks were de-rated. The NAV discount widened from 1.8SD above the historical norm to 1.0SD below and stayed range-bound within the historical average and 1.0SD below. At this stage in the cycle, as stock valuation has returned to the norm, we turn more cautious and selective.
Translation - Chinese 同業市價現較資產凈值折讓38%，相當於6.9倍2017年預測市盈率，1.0倍2016年市凈率，均接近2011年以來的歷史平均值。本行周期性分析顯示，房屋市場步入下行通道，最末一個周期景況近似於2013年第四季度初期（當其時，中國地產股值向下修正）。資產凈值折讓幅度由偏離歷史規範1.8個正標準差擴增至負1.0個標準差，囿於歷史均值與負1.0個標準差當中的區間。在周期現階段，股票估值雖已重回常軌，但須謹之又慎，細心揀擇。

As at March 2017 I have amassed 21 straight years' experience in legal and financial translating, non-stop, between Chinese and English.
I am a member with the US National Association of Judiciary Interpreters and Translators (NAJIT ID: 4639), American Translators Association (ATA ID: 267121) and Translators Association of China (TAC), respectively.
I started legal translating for the British law firm "Masons" (known as "Pinsent Masons" nowadays) in Guangzhou in 1999, after graduating as an English Major in 1996.
Later I served as the Chief Legal Translator for the British law firm "CMS Cameron McKenna" and the German law firm "CMS Hasche Sigle" in Shanghai for 9 consecutive years.
Before becoming a freelancer, I acted as the Translation Team Leader for "Boston Consulting Group" (BCG) in Shanghai and supervised an 8-strong translation team.
20 years' translating practice has exposed me to an assortment of legal and financial documents and polished my skills on all dimensions: comprehension, wording, accuracy, flow and counterpointing. I worked with lawyers and financial analysts for more than a decade and have thus acquired an acute awareness of wording precision, plus a gimlet eye for nuances.
I am thoroughly familiarized with the China mainland and Hong Kong styles of legal writing. Mandarin and Cantonese are both my native languages.
Being an avid reader, I have maintained an insatiable appetite for reading a variety of publications on legal, financial, political, governmental, economic and literary subjects. This habit is rooted in a firm belief which I've been holding -- translating is by nature writing, which hinges entirely on reading.
Most of my clients are impressed by my exacting attentiveness -- I am used to pinpointing each and every irregularity in the source text upon each delivery of my translation. More than once I have received my clients' thankfulness-infused comments on the value of my translating efforts -- "You've done something which is bigger and more than translating - you know what you are doing".
I can be reached at my email "[email protected]" -- prompt responses guaranteed.
