16

require, by making a submission (the date of such submission, the “Submission Date”) to the Hong Kong International Arbitration Center (“HKIAC”) in Hong Kong that the controversy or dispute be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by HKIAC in accordance with HKIAC Procedures for Arbitration in force at the date hereof including such additions to the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules as are therein contained and as amended below (the “Arbitration Rules”):

(i)                                     The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in Hong Kong.

(ii)                                  The arbitration tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators, one appointed by Accor and one appointed by CLG.

(iii)                               A third arbitrator shall be appointed by agreement between Accor and CLG within thirty days of the Submission Date, and if such Parties fail to jointly appoint the third arbitrator he shall be appointed in accordance with the Arbitration Rules.

(v)                                 All costs of arbitration (including arbitration fees, costs of arbitrators and legal fees and disbursements) shall be borne by the losing Party, unless otherwise determined by the arbitration tribunal.

(vi)                              The Parties irrevocably waive any objection which they may have now or hereafter to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceedings in arbitration as is referred to this Clause and any claim that any such proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient or inappropriate forum.

(b)                                 HKIAC shall have exclusive jurisdiction with regard to all claims arising under or relating to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that either Party desires to seek an emergency temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunction, the sixty day mediation period above shall not apply, and said Party may, but shall not be required to, seek such provisional remedy in the courts of Hong Kong (and the parties irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of such courts) or any other relevant jurisdiction in aid of the arbitration proceeding in order to prevent a continuing violation of this Agreement.

(c)                                  The Parties hereby waive in any legal proceedings concerning or arising out of any such arbitration, including without limitation proceedings to compel arbitration, stay litigation, issue interim measures of protection including attachments, issue an injunction prior to the constitution of the arbitral tribunal, recognize or enforce an arbitral award, or enforce a court judgment issued on an arbitral award (“Ancillary Proceedings”) any defense of lack of personal jurisdiction or forum non conveniens or other similar doctrine and further irrevocably agree that decision in arbitration as provided above shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties and may be enforced in the courts of any jurisdiction.

17

(d)                                 All arbitration awards shall be final and binding and may be enforced in the courts of any jurisdiction.  The Parties agree that, if enforcement of the award (following confirmation by a Hong Kong court) is sought in the PRC, neither Party shall challenge the award or its enforceability in any court in the PRC, if the award has been recognized by a Hong Kong court.

(e)                                  Each Party and any other person executing this Agreement hereby unconditionally and irrevocably: (1) agrees that, should any legal action or arbitral proceeding be brought against it in relation to a dispute arising under or related to this agreement, no immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from such legal action or arbitral proceeding shall be claimed by or on behalf of itself and is hereby waived to the maximum extent permitted by law; (2) consents generally to the maximum extent permitted by law in respect of the enforcement of any order, judgment or arbitral award against it in any relevant proceedings, to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with such proceedings including, without limitation, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the making, enforcement or execution against or in respect of any property used for commercial activity whatsoever; and (3) expressly disavows and waives to the maximum extent permitted by law any right to claim sovereign immunity in connection with any proceedings to compel arbitration or any proceedings to enforce or execute upon any arbitral award arising under or related to this agreement.

6.9.                            Execution

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other Party, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or email attachment, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the Party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or email-attached signature page were an original thereof.

6.10.                     Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the Parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

18

6.12(b)), a person who is not a party to this Agreement shall not have any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Ordinance (Chapter 623 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“CROPTO”) to enforce any term of this Agreement.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding Clause 6.12(a), the following persons who are not parties to this Agreement shall not have any rights under the CROPTO to enforce any term of this Agreement: (i) any owner, franchisee lessee or lessor of any hotel managed or to be managed by China Lodging Group, Limited or any of its Subsidiaries or Accor S.A. or any of its Affiliates, in their capacity as such; or (ii) any of the public shareholders from time to time of either China Lodging Group, Limited or Accor S.A. in their capacity as such; provided that the persons referred to in (i) and (ii) do not include Accor S.A., China Lodging Group, Limited, Qi Ji or any of their respective Affiliates or with respect to any rights expressly conferred upon any of them (by name or as members of a class or description) in this Agreement.

(c)                                  The rights of the parties to terminate, rescind or agree any variation, waiver or settlement under this Agreement are not subject to the consent of any person who is not a party to this Agreement.
