(8) On the Completion Date, SYHSB shall pay or cause to be paid the Put Price to SOPB by way of immediately available funds to SOPB, such payment to be received no later than 11.00 a.m. on the Completion Date. Simultaneously with the payment of the Put Price, SYHSB shall cause to be paid to SOPB all the advances granted by SOPB to MPSB with interests thereon at the rate of 1.1% above the cost of funds incurred by SOPB. Upon confirmation of receipt of payments of the Put Price and the refund of the advances with interests by SOPB, SOPB shall deliver or cause SYHSB the shares certificates in respect of those Put Option Shares together with valid and registrable but unstamped instruments of transfer thereto duly executed by SOPB in favour of SYHSB or its nominees.
