The Assigning Party shall notify the other Party in writing of the terms and conditions of the proposed transfer.

If the other Party does not exercise its preemptive right of purchase within [thirty (30)] days after delivery of such notice, such other Party shall be deemed to have consented to such transfer and covenants that it will sign all necessary documents in connection therewith and will cause the directors appointed by it to attend in person, by proxy or by telecommunications any Board meeting at which such transfer is to be considered and to vote in favor of a resolution approving such transfer or to sign a written resolution circulated in lieu of such a meeting of the Board, as the case may be.

The valuation determined by the Independent Appraiser shall be the valuation adopted by the Parties for purposes of this provision save that where the valuation is a Stateowned asset valuation required by Applicable Laws, the Parties may agree an adjustment to such valuation where and to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws.

The purchase price for all or part of a Party's share of the registered capital of the Company shall be calculated by multiplying the value of the Company as determined above by the percentage of such Party's share of the registered capital to be transferred.

独立评估师应在[四十五(45)]日内完成评估。

在本条中，由独立评估师确定的价值为双方认定的合营公司价值。但如果相关法律就国有资产的保全另有规定，双方可同意对上述评估价值在相关法律允许的范围内进行调整。

购买合营公司注册资本全部或部分份额的价款计算方法如下：以上述方式确定的合营公司的价值乘以转让方拟转让份额占注册资本总额的比例。
