Part II Translate the following sentences and paragraphs. (30%)

1. (5%) The term "Information" does not include any information which at the time of disclosure

or thereafter is (i) generally available to or known by the public (other than as a result of its disclosure by A Company or its Representatives), (ii) available to A Company on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or its advisors, or (iii) independently acquired or developed by A Company without violating any of its obligations under this Agreement.

2. (5%) “Tort” is an elusive concept. It has defied a number of attempts to formulate a useful

definition. The dilemma is that any definition which is sufficiently comprehensive to encompass all torts is so general as to be almost meaningless.

The one common element of all torts is that someone has sustained a loss or harm as the result of some act or failure to act by another. Virtually all of the infinitely diverse forms of human activity—driving a vehicle, engaging in business, speaking, writing, owning and using real or personal property—may be a source of harm and therefore of tort liability. This diversity of conduct resists broad generalizations, and so does the tort liability on which it is based.

3. (5%) This Agreement is drawn up in English and translated into Chinese. Each Party

acknowledges that notwithstanding the Chinese translation of this Agreement which is also signed by the Parties, in the event there is a conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between the Chinese and English text, the latter shall prevail.
