                                                common in Thai market practice for the sellers

                                                to request the private equity purchasers to

                                                give representations and warranties that the

                                                purchasers have sufficient fund to complete
                                                the share sale and purchase transaction.



                                                Apart from the SPA, in the case where after

                                                the share acquisition, there remain continuing
                                                shareholders, the shareholders are generally

                                                entered into a shareholdersû agreement (the

                                                çSHAé) to set out their rights and duties,

                                                including their rights to nominate the companyûs

                                                directors, as well as any other protections

                                                beyond the statutory rights (e.g. veto rights on

                                                some important matters like business transfer).

                                                These provisions of SHA would need to

                                                be reflected in the companyûs articles of

                                                association so that they would be binding not

                                                only upon the contracting parties, but also any
                                                third parties. However, in the case of a public

                                                company, it is relatively difficult in practice to

                                                reflect terms of the SHA in the articles of

                                                association due to the more stringent

                                                interpretation of the Public Limited Company

                                                Act of Thailand by the relevant Thai authority.
