any structured finance, special purpose or limited purpose entity or Person, on the other hand), or any “off-balance sheet arrangements” (as defined in Item 303(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC), where the result, purpose or intended effect of such contract, agreement, arrangement or undertaking is to avoid disclosure of any material transaction involving, or material liabilities of, the Company or any of the Covered Subsidiaries in the Company’s or such Covered Subsidiary’s published financial statements or other Company SEC Documents.

(i) Absence of Certain Changes. Since December 31, 2014, (i) the Company and its Covered Subsidiaries have operated in the ordinary course of business in all material respects and (ii) there has not been a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Interest on the Note shall accrue annually from December 11, 2015 or from the most recent date on which interest has been paid for or duly provided for. Interest shall be payable semiannually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Accrued interest on the Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and, for partial months, on the basis of actual days elapsed over a 30-day month. The Holder may choose to defer receipt of interest payment in cash on an Interest Payment Date by notifying the Company in writing at least five Business Days prior to an applicable Interest Payment Date, and until the Holder notifies the Company in writing at least five Business Days prior to another later applicable Interest Payment Date to choose to receive interest payment in cash, the interest shall be accrued but unpaid and shall not be rolled onto the principal. Upon the Maturity Date or any earlier date of conversion, purchase or payment of the Note, the aggregate accrued but unpaid interest shall be subject to conversion, purchase or payment (as the case may be) in accordance with the terms contained herein.

2.2 Payment. All amounts payable on or in respect of the Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be paid to the Holder in U.S. dollars, in immediately available funds on the date that any principal or interest payment is due and payable hereunder. The Company shall make such payments of the unpaid principal amount of the Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on each such date to the Holder by wire transfer of immediately

available funds for the account of the Holder as the Holder may designate from time to time and notify in writing to the Company at least three Business Days prior to each payment date. If any such payment date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest on such payment will accrue in respect of the delay.

2.3 Seniority. The Note ranks senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Note, equal in right of payment to any of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company that are not so subordinated, junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally junior to all future indebtedness incurred by the Company’s Subsidiaries and their other liabilities (including trade payables).

2.4 Events of Default. For purposes of the Note, an “Event of Default” shall be deemed to have occurred if any of the following events occur, whatever the reason or cause for such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority or otherwise:

(a) Failure to Pay Principal. The Company defaults in the payment of principal of the Note when due and payable on the Maturity Date, upon any required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise;

(b) Failure to Pay Interest. The Company defaults in the payment of interest or Additional Amounts, if any, when any such payment becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 calendar days;

(c) Breach of Certain Notice Obligations. The Company fails for a period of five Business Days to issue a Fundamental Change Company Notice in accordance with Section 6.3 or notice of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change in accordance with Section 4.1(a), in each case, when due;

(d) Breach of Conversion Obligation. The Company fails to comply with its obligation to convert all or a portion of the Note in accordance with ARTICLE 3 upon Holder’s exercise of its conversion rights and such failure continues for a period of five Business Days;

(e) Breach of ARTICLE 8. The Company fails to comply with its obligations under ARTICLE 8;

(f) Breach of Other Obligations. The Company fails for 60 calendar days after written notice from the Holder has been received by the Company to comply with any of its other agreements contained in the Note;

(g) Cross Default. Any default by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company with respect to any mortgage, agreement or other instrument under which there may be outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of US$15 million (or the foreign currency equivalent thereof) in the

aggregate of the Company and/or any such Significant Subsidiary, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created (A) resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable or (B) constituting a failure to pay the principal or interest of any such debt when due and payable at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise;

(h) Adverse Judgment. A final judgment for the payment of US$15 million (or the foreign currency equivalent thereof) or more (excluding any amounts covered by insurance) is rendered against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company, which judgment is not paid, bonded or otherwise discharged or stayed within 60 calendar days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the right to appeal thereof has expired if no such appeal has commenced and (ii) the date on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished;

(i) Bankruptcy. The Company or any Significant Subsidiary shall commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or any such Significant Subsidiary or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of the Company or any such Significant Subsidiary or all or substantially all of its property, or shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay its debts as they become due; or

(j) Involuntary Proceedings. An involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or such Significant Subsidiary or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of the Company or such Significant Subsidiary or all or substantially all of its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of 30 consecutive calendar days.

2.5 Consequences of Event of Default.

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly deliver written notice thereof to the Holder. If one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority), then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 2.4(i) or Section 2.4(j) with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries), unless the principal of the Note shall have already become due and payable, the Holder may by notice in writing to the Company, declare 100% of the outstanding principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Note to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 2.4(i) or Section 2.4(j) with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries occurs and is continuing, 100% of the outstanding principal of, and accrued and

unpaid interest on, the Note shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable without any action on the part of the Holder.

(b) Subsection (a) above, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the outstanding principal of the Note shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Holder a sum sufficient to pay installments of accrued and unpaid interest upon the Note and the outstanding principal of the Note that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of accrued and unpaid interest to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable Law, and on such principal at the rate per annum borne by the Note plus one percent), and if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) any and all existing Events of Default under the Note, other than the nonpayment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Note that shall have become due solely by such acceleration, shall have been cured or waived, then and in every such case the Holder, by written notice to the Company, may waive all Default or Events of Default with respect to the Note and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of the Note; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

2.6 Defaulted Amounts. Any Defaulted Amounts shall forthwith accrue interest per annum at 2.00%, subject to the enforceability thereof under applicable Law, from, and including, such relevant payment date, and such Defaulted Amounts together with such interest thereon shall be paid by the Company to the Holder by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.2.

ARTICLE 3
CONVERSION

3.1 Conversion by Holder. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this ARTICLE 3, the Holder shall have the right from time to time, at the Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is at least US$100,000,000 or such lesser amount then held by the Holder) of the Note (including any accrued but unpaid interest) to the Company’s fully paid ADSs at any time prior to the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date.

3.2 Conversion Price; Conversion Rate. Subject to adjustments as provided in ARTICLE 4, the initial conversion price shall be US$68.4617 per ADS, representing an initial conversion rate of 14.6067 ADSs (the “Conversion Rate”) per US$1,000 principal amount of the Note.

3.3 Conversion Procedure; Settlement Upon Conversion.

(a) Subject to Section 3.3(c), this Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has delivered a duly completed irrevocable written notice to the Company specifying its intention to convert the Note (or a portion thereof) (the “Conversion Notice”) and the Note for cancellation to the Company. Within three Business Days after the delivery of the Note and the Conversion Notice to the Company pursuant to Section 3.1 above, the Company shall (i) take all actions and execute all documents necessary to effect the issuance of the full number of ADSs to which the Holder shall be entitled in satisfaction of any conversion pursuant to Section 3.1, (ii) if required by applicable Law, deliver to the Holder certificate(s) representing the number of ADSs delivered upon each such conversion and (iii) subject to Section 3.3(c), cancel the Note. No Conversion Notice may be delivered and the Note may not be surrendered by a Holder for conversion thereof if the Holder has also delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice to the Company in respect of the Note and not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with ARTICLE 6.

(b) The Company shall not issue any Fractional ADS upon conversion of the Note and shall instead pay cash in lieu of any Fractional ADS deliverable upon conversion based on the Last Reported Sale Price of the ADSs on the relevant Conversion Date.

(c) In the event the Holder surrenders this Note pursuant to Section 3.3(a) for partial conversion, the Company shall, in addition to cancelling the Note upon such surrender, promptly execute and deliver to the Holder a new note (consistent in all respects with this Note, other than with respect to principal amount) denominated in U.S. dollars and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note, without payment of any service charge by the Holder.

(d) If the Holder submits the Note for conversion, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the delivery of the ADSs upon such conversion of the Note (or the issuance of the underlying Ordinary Shares), unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such ADSs (or such Ordinary Shares) to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax. The Company shall pay the relevant depositary’s fees for issuance of the ADSs.

(e) Upon any conversion, the Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, except as set forth below. The Company’s settlement of each conversion pursuant to this ARTICLE 3 shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note converted and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date. As a result, such accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is converted after the close of business on a Regular Record Date, the Holder will receive the full amount of interest payable on the Note on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the pending conversion for so long as it remains a holder of the Note and there remains outstanding principal. Any issuance of ADSs upon conversion of the Note during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the open of business on the

immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the Note; provided that no such payment shall be required (1) for conversions following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, (2) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date or (3) to the extent of any Defaulted Amounts, if any Defaulted Amounts exist at the time of conversion with respect to such Note.

(f) Except as provided in Section 4.2, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any ADSs delivered upon any conversion of this Note as provided in this ARTICLE 3.

ARTICLE 4
ADJUSTMENTS

4.1 Increased Conversion Rate Applicable in Connection with Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

(a) If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date and the Holder elects to convert this Note in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, under the circumstances described below, increase the Conversion Rate by a number of additional ADSs (the “Additional ADSs”) as described below. A conversion of this Note shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Conversion Notice is received by the Company from, and including, the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the second Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (b) of the definition thereof in the Indenture, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change). The Company shall provide written notice to the Holder of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

(b) Upon surrender of this Note for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall cause to be delivered ADSs, including the Additional ADSs, in accordance with Section 3.3; provided, however, that if, at the effective time of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change in the Indenture, the Reference Property following such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is composed entirely of cash, for any conversion of the Note following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, such conversion shall be calculated based solely on the ADS Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount of cash per US$1,000 principal amount of the converted Note equal to the Conversion Rate (including any adjustment for Additional ADSs), multiplied by such ADS Price.

(c) The number of Additional ADSs, if any, by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price (the “ADS Price”) paid (or deemed to be paid) per ADS in the Make-Whole

Fundamental Change. If the holders of the ADSs receive in exchange for their ADSs only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the ADS Price shall be the cash amount paid per ADS. Otherwise, the ADS Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs over the five Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

(d) The ADS Prices set forth in the column headings of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Note is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted ADS Prices shall equal the ADS Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the ADS Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional ADSs set forth in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 4.2.

(e) The following table sets forth the number of Additional ADSs to be received per US$1,000 principal amount of the Note pursuant to this Section 4.1 for each ADS Price and Effective Date set forth below:

The exact ADS Prices and Effective Dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

(i) if the ADS Price is between two ADS Prices in the table above or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional ADSs shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional ADSs set forth for the higher and lower ADS Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

(ii) if the ADS Price is greater than US$250 per ADS (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the ADS Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (d) above), the number of Additional ADSs shall be determined by linear extrapolation of the decrease in the number of Additional ADSs between the ADS Prices of the 2nd highest price in the table and highest price in the table; and

(iii) if the ADS Price is less than US$52.66 per ADS (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the ADS Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (d) above), the number of Additional ADSs shall be determined by linear extrapolation of the increase in the number of Additional ADSs between the ADS Prices of the 2nd lowest price in the table and lowest price in the table.

(f) Nothing in this Section 4.1 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 4.2.

(g) Whenever any provision of this Note requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices or the ADS Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change over a span of multiple days, the Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to each account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective pursuant to Section 4.2, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 4.2 where the Record Date, effective date or expiration date, as the case may be, of the event occurs, at any time during the period when such Last Reported Sale Prices or ADS Prices are to be calculated.

4.2 Adjustment of Conversion Rate. If the number of Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs is changed, after the date of this Note, for any reason other than one or more of the events described in this Section 4.2, the Company shall make an appropriate adjustment to the Conversion Rate such that the number of Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs upon which any conversion of this Note is based remains the same.

Notwithstanding the adjustment provisions described in this Section 4.2, if the Company distributes to holders of the Ordinary Shares any cash, rights, options, warrants, shares of capital stock or similar equity interest, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company (but excluding Expiring Rights) and a corresponding distribution is not made to holders of the ADSs, but, instead, the ADSs shall represent, in addition to Ordinary Shares, such cash, rights, options, warrants, shares of Capital Stock or similar equity interest, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company, then an adjustment to the Conversion Rate described in this Section 4.2 shall not be made until and unless a corresponding distribution (if any) is made to holders of the ADSs, and such adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be based on the distribution made to the holders of the ADSs and not on the distribution made to the holders of the Ordinary Shares. However, in the event that the Company issues or distributes to all holders of the Ordinary Shares any Expiring Rights, notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall adjust the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 4.2(b) (in the case of Expiring Rights entitling holders of the Ordinary Shares for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares or ADSs) or Section 4.2(c) (in the case of all other Expiring Rights).

For the avoidance of doubt, if any event described in this Section 4.2 results in a change to the number of Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs, then such a change shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to effect the relevant adjustment to the Conversion Rate on account of such an event to the extent to which such change reflects what a corresponding change to the Conversion Rate would have been on account of such an event.

The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if the Holder participates (other than in the case of a share split or share combination), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Ordinary Shares and solely as a result of holding the Note, in any of the transactions described in this Section 4.2, without having to convert the Note, as if it held a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount of the Note held by the Holder.

(a) If the Company exclusively issues Ordinary Shares as a dividend or distribution on the Ordinary Shares, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for the ADSs of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the close of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date or immediately after the close of business on such effective date, as applicable;

OS0 = the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date or immediately prior to the close of business on such effective date, as applicable; and

OS1 = the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

Any adjustment made under this Section 4.2(a) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the effective date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 4.2(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b) If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of the Ordinary Shares (directly in or in the form of ADSs) any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) at a price per

Ordinary Share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Ordinary Shares or the ADSs, as the case may be (divided by, in the case of ADSs, the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by one ADS), for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for the ADSs for such issuance;

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date;

OS0 = the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date;

X = the total number of Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) deliverable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

Y = the number of Ordinary Shares equal to (i) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by (ii) the quotient of (a) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants, divided by (b) the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by one ADS.

Any increase made under this Section 4.2(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for the ADSs for such issuance. To the extent that Ordinary Shares or ADSs are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Ordinary Shares actually delivered (directly or in the form of ADSs). If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such the Record Date for the ADSs for such issuance had not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 4.2(b), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) at a price per Ordinary Share that is less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Ordinary Shares or the ADSs, as the case may be (divided by, in the case of ADSs, the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by one ADS), for the 10 consecutive Trading

Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Ordinary Shares or ADSs, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

(c) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs), excluding (i) dividends, distributions or issuances as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or Section 4.2(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 4.2(d), and (iii) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 4.2(c) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities of the Company, the “Distributed Property”), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for the ADSs for such distribution;

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date;

SP0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs (divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by one ADS) over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

FMV = the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding Ordinary Share (directly or in the form of ADSs) on the Record Date for the ADSs for such distribution.

Any increase made under the portion of this Section 4.2(c) above shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for the ADSs for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, the Holder shall receive, in respect of each

US$1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the ADSs receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed Property the Holder would have received if the Holder owned a number of ADSs equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Record Date for the ADSs for the distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.2(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period;

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;

FMV0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) applicable to one Ordinary Share (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as if references therein to the ADSs were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and

MP0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs (divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by one ADS) over the Valuation Period.

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall occur on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; provided that in respect of any conversion during the Valuation Period, references in the portion of this Section 4.2(c) related to Spin-Offs to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off to, and including, the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate.

For purposes of this Section 4.2(c) (and subject in all respect to Section 4.2(f)), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Ordinary Shares (either initially or under certain

circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs); (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs), shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 4.2(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 4.2(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 4.2(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Note, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Record Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 4.2(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per Ordinary Share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.

For purposes of Section 4.2(a), Section 4.2(b) and this Section 4.2(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 4.2(c) is applicable that also includes one or both of:

(A) a dividend or distribution of Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) to which Section 4.2(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or

(B) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 4.2(b) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),

then (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 4.2(c) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 4.2(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow

the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 4.2(a) and Section 4.2(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company (I) the “Record Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Record Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date or immediately after the open of business on such effective date, as applicable” within the meaning of Section 4.2(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date” within the meaning of Section 4.2(b).

(d) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for the ADSs for such dividend or distribution;

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date;

SP0 = the Last Reported Sale Price of the ADSs (divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by one ADS) on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and

C = the amount in cash per Ordinary Share the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs).

Any increase pursuant to this Section 4.2(d) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for the ADSs for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, the Holder shall receive, for each US$1,000 principal amount of the Note, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the ADSs, the amount of cash that the Holder would have received if the Holder owned a number of ADSs equal to the Conversion Rate on the Record Date for the ADSs for such cash dividend or distribution.

(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per Ordinary Share exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs (divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by one ADS) over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

AC = the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

OS0 = the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

OS1 = the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase of all Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and

SP1 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs (divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by one ADS) over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 4.2(e) shall occur at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that in respect of any conversion within the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references in this Section 4.2(e) with respect to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and

including, the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date of such tender or exchange offer to, and including, the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate. No adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 4.2(e) shall be made if such adjustment would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate.

(f) To the extent that the Company has a rights plan in effect upon any conversion of the Note, each ADS delivered upon such conversion shall be entitled to receive (either directly or in respect of the Ordinary Shares underlying such ADSs) the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates representing the ADSs delivered upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such stockholder rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time. However, if, prior to any conversion, the rights have separated from the Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights plan, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all or substantially all holders of the Ordinary Shares Distributed Property as provided in Section 4.2(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

(g) Notwithstanding this Section 4.2 or any other provision of this Note, if a Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date, and the Holder has converted the Note on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the related Record Date would be treated as the record holder of the ADSs as of the related Conversion Date as described under Section 4.2(j) based on an adjusted Conversion Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the Conversion Rate adjustment provisions in this Section 4.2, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date shall not be made for the Holder. Instead, the Holder shall be treated as if the Holder were the record owner of the ADSs on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.

(h) Except as stated herein, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of Ordinary Shares or ADSs or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares or ADSs or the right to purchase Ordinary Shares or ADSs or such convertible or exchangeable securities.

(i) In addition to those adjustments required by subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 4.2, and to the extent permitted by applicable Law and subject to the applicable rules of the NASDAQ and any other securities exchange on which any of the Company’s securities are then listed, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest, and the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of the Ordinary Shares or the ADSs or rights to purchase Ordinary Shares or ADSs in connection with a dividend or distribution of Ordinary Shares or ADSs (or rights to acquire Ordinary Shares or ADSs) or similar event.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.2, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted:

(i) upon the issuance of any Ordinary Shares or ADSs pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in Ordinary Shares or ADSs under any plan;

(ii) upon the issuance of any Ordinary Shares or ADSs or options or rights to purchase those Ordinary Shares or ADSs pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries;

(iii) upon the issuance of any Ordinary Shares or ADSs pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (ii) of this subsection and outstanding as of the date this Note was first issued;

(iv) solely for a change in the par value of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs ; or

(v) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

(k) All calculations and other determinations under this Section 4.2 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of an ADS.

(l) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate, the manner of calculation of such adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to the Holder.

(m) For purposes of this ARTICLE 4, the number of Ordinary Shares at any time outstanding shall not include Ordinary Shares held in the treasury of the Company (directly or in the form of ADSs) so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on Ordinary Shares held in the treasury of the Company (directly or in the form of ADSs), but shall include Ordinary Shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Ordinary Shares.

(n) For purposes of this Section 4.2, the “effective date” means the first date on which the ADSs trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, reflecting the relevant share split or share combination, as applicable.

4.3 Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Ordinary Shares.

(a) In the case of:

(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Ordinary Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination),

(ii) any consolidation, merger, combination or similar transaction involving the Company,

(iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety; or

(iv) any statutory share exchange,

in each case, as a result of which the ADSs would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Merger Event”), then, prior to or at the effective time of such Merger Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute an amendment to this Note providing that, at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to convert each US$1,000 principal amount of the Note (subject to compliance with Article 3) shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of the Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of ADSs equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property,” with each “unit of Reference Property” meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one ADS is entitled to receive) upon such Merger Event; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Merger Event the number of ADSs otherwise deliverable upon any conversion of the Note in accordance with ARTICLE 3 shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of ADSs would have been entitled to receive in such Merger Event.

If the Merger Event causes the ADSs to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of holder election), then (i) the Reference Property into which the Note will be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of ADSs that affirmatively make such an election, and (ii) the unit of Reference Property for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one ADS. The Company shall provide written notice to the Holder of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

Such amendment described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is practicable to the adjustments provided for in this ARTICLE 4 (it being understood that no such adjustments shall be required with respect to any portion of the Reference Property that does not consist of shares of Common Equity (however evidenced) or depositary receipts in respect thereof). If, in the case of any Merger Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) of a Person other than the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such Merger Event, then such other Person shall also execute such amendment, and such amendment shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holder, including the rights of the Holder to require the Company to repurchase this Note upon a Fundamental Change pursuant to ARTICLE 6 and the right of the Holder to require the Company to repurchase this Note on the Repurchase Date pursuant to ARTICLE 5 as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.

(b) The Company shall not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 4.3. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of the Holder to convert this Note into ADSs as set forth in ARTICLE 3 prior to the effective date of such Merger Event.

4.4 No Adjustment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment under this ARTICLE 4 shall be required to be made to the Conversion Rate if the Company receives written notice from the Holder that no such adjustment is required.

4.5 Certain Covenants.

(a) The Company covenants that all ADSs delivered upon any conversion of this Note, and all Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs, will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

(b) The Company covenants that if any ADSs to be provided for the purpose of any conversion of this Note, or any Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs, require registration with or approval of any Governmental Authority under any Law before such ADSs may be validly issued upon conversion, the Company will, to the extent then permitted by applicable Law, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

(c) The Company further covenants that, for as long as the ADSs are listed on the NASDAQ or any other national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Company will list and keep listed, so long as the ADSs shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any ADSs deliverable upon any conversion of this Note.

(d) The Company further covenants to take all actions and obtain all approvals and registrations required with respect to any conversion of this Note into ADSs and the issuance of the Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs. The Company also undertakes to maintain, as long as this Note remains outstanding, the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form F-6 relating to the ADSs and an adequate number of ADSs available for issuance thereunder, and shall reserve for issuance an adequate number of ADSs, such that ADSs can be delivered in accordance with the terms of this Note upon any conversion hereunder. In addition, the Company further covenants to provide the Holder with a reasonably detailed description of the mechanics for the delivery of ADSs upon any conversion of this Note upon request.

(e) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) nothing herein shall require the Company to file a shelf registration statement for the resale of the Note, the ADSs deliverable upon conversion of all or any portion of the Note or the Ordinary Shares represented thereby and (ii) the Holder may only resell the Note, the ADSs delivered upon conversion of all or any portion of the Note or the Ordinary Shares represented thereby pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities Laws.

4.6 Notice for Certain Actions. In case of any (a) action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 4.2, (b) Merger Event or (c) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Note), the Company shall deliver a written notice the Holder, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, of record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) the date on which such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, of record shall be entitled to exchange their Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, for securities or other property deliverable upon such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

4.7 Termination of Depository Receipt Program. If the Ordinary Shares cease to be represented by ADSs issued under a depositary receipt program sponsored by the Company, all references in this Note to the ADSs shall be deemed to have been replaced by a reference to the number of Ordinary Shares (and other property, if any) represented by the ADSs on the last day on which the ADSs represented the Ordinary Shares and as if the Ordinary Shares and the other property had been distributed to holders of the ADSs on that day. In addition, all references to the Last Reported Sale Price of the ADSs will be deemed to refer to the Last Reported Sale Price of the Ordinary Shares, and other appropriate adjustments, including adjustments to the Conversion Rate, will be made to reflect such change. In making such adjustments, where currency translations between U.S. dollars and any other currency are required, the exchange rate in effect on the date of determination will apply.

ARTICLE 5
REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF THE HOLDER

5.1 Repurchase at Option of the Holder. Beginning on December 11, 2021, the Holder shall have the right, at its option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of the Note or any portion thereof that is equal to at least US$100,000,000 or such lesser amount then held by the Holder, for once only, on the date that is ten (10) Business Days after December 11, 2021 (the “Repurchase Date”) at a repurchase price (the “Repurchase Price”) that is equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date; provided that any such accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid not to the Holders submitting the Notes for repurchase on the Repurchase Date but instead to the Holders of such Notes at the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Repurchase Date.

5.3 No Repurchase in the Event of Acceleration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Note may not be repurchased by the Company at the option of the Holder if the principal amount of the Note has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Repurchase Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Company in the payment of the Repurchase Price with respect to the Note).

5.4 Withdrawal of Repurchase Notice. A Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) by means of a duly completed written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Company in accordance with this Section 5.3 at any time prior to the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date, specifying (a) the principal amount of the Note with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted and (b) the principal amount, if any, of the Note that remains subject to the original Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts of at least US$100,000,000 or such lesser amount then held by the Holder.

(b) If by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Repurchase Date, the Holder has received payment for the applicable portion of the Note to be repurchased on such Repurchase Date in accordance with Section (a) above, then, with respect to the applicable portion of the Note that has been properly surrendered for repurchase and not validly withdrawn, on such Repurchase Date, (i) such portion of the Note will cease to be outstanding, (ii) interest will cease to accrue on such portion of the Note and (iii) in the event the entire outstanding

amount of the Note is surrendered by the Holder to be repurchased, all other rights of the Holder with respect to the Note will terminate (other than the right to receive the Repurchase Price).

(c) In the event a portion of the Note that is less than the entire outstanding amount is surrendered by the Holder to be repurchased, the Company shall promptly execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unrepurchased portion of the Note.

5.6 Covenant to Comply with Applicable Laws Upon Repurchase of the Note. In connection with any repurchase offer, the Company will, if required, comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Company to repurchase the Note so as to permit the rights and obligations under this ARTICLE 5 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in this ARTICLE 5.

5.7 Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Holder, the Company will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Note.

ARTICLE 6
REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF THE HOLDER UPON A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE

6.1 Option of the Holder. If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time, the Holder shall have the right, at its option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of the Note or any portion thereof that is equal to at least US$100,000,000 or such lesser amount then held by the Holder on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) notified in writing by the Company as set forth in Section 6.2 that is not less than 20 Business Days or more than 35 Business Days following the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”), unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to the Holder as of such Regular Record Date, and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this ARTICLE 6.

6.2 Delivery of Notice and the Note by the Holder.

(a) Repurchases of Notes under this ARTICLE 6 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon: (i) delivery by the Holder to the Company of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, on or before the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and (ii) delivery of the Note to the Company at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer), such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor.

On or before the 20th calendar day after the occurrence of the effective date of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to the Holder a written notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) by first class mail of the occurrence of the effective date of the Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the Holder arising as a result thereof. Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:

(b) the date of the Fundamental Change;

(d) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;

(e) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

(g) that the Note may be converted only if any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice that has been delivered by the Holder has been withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this Note; and

(h) the procedures that the Holder must follow to require the Company to repurchase the Note.

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holder’s repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Note pursuant to this ARTICLE 6.

6.4 No Repurchase in the Event of Acceleration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Note may not be repurchased by the Company on any date at the option of the Holder upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Note has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration

resulting from a default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to the Note).

(a) On or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company shall set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holder an amount of money sufficient to repurchase the applicable portion of the Note to be repurchased at the appropriate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Payment for the applicable portion of the Note surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn in accordance with Section 6.5) will be made on the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions in this ARTICLE 6) and (ii) the time of delivery of the applicable portion of the Note by the Holder to the Company in the manner required by Section 6.2, by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holder or, at the Holder’s option, pursuant to wire instructions provided by the Holder to the Company on or before the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date.

(b) If by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company holds money sufficient to make payment on the applicable portion of the Note to be repurchased on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, then, with respect to the applicable portion of the Note that has been properly surrendered for repurchase and not validly withdrawn, on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, (i) such portion of the Note will cease to be outstanding, (ii) interest will cease to accrue on such portion of the Note and (iii) in the event the entire outstanding amount of the Note is surrendered by the Holder to be repurchased, all other rights of the Holder with respect to the Note will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price).

6.7 Covenant to Comply with Applicable Laws Upon Repurchase of the Note. In connection with any repurchase offer, the Company will, if required, comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Company to repurchase the Note so as to permit the rights and obligations under this ARTICLE 6 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in this ARTICLE 6.

6.8 Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Holder, the Company will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Note.

In the event the Holder consents to the application of any such supplemental indenture to this Note, the Company covenants further to negotiate in good faith with the Holder to prepare and execute an amendment to this Note to reflect any amendment(s), modification(s), addition(s) and/or deletion(s) to the terms this Note necessary to give effect to the applicable terms of any such supplemental indenture.

ARTICLE 8

8.1 Company May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.2, the Company shall not consolidate with, merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to another Person, unless:

(a) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”), if not the Company, shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof, the District of Columbia, the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Bermuda or Hong Kong and the Successor Company (if not the Company) shall expressly assume, by a duly executed amendment delivered to the Holder and satisfactory in form to the Holder, all of the obligations of the Company under this Note (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 7.4); and

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Note.

For purposes of this Section 8.1, the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company to another Person, which properties and assets, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company to another Person.

8.2 Successor Corporation to Be Substituted. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and upon the assumption by the Successor Company, by a duly executed amendment delivered to the Holder and satisfactory in form to the Holder, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Note (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Additional Amounts), the due and punctual delivery or payment, as the case may be, of any consideration due upon conversion of the Note and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Note to be performed by the Company, such Successor Company (if not the Company) shall succeed to and, except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets, shall be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part. Such Successor Company thereupon may cause the Note to be signed and re-issued in its own name. The Note as so re-issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit as though it had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or transfer (but not in the case of a lease), upon compliance with this ARTICLE 8 the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph of this Note (or any successor that shall thereafter have become such in the manner prescribed in this ARTICLE 8) may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and, except in the case of a lease, such Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of this Note and from its obligations under this Note.

If for any reason such agent shall cease to be such agent for service of process, the Company shall forthwith appoint a new agent of recognized standing for service of process in the State of New York and deliver to the Holder a copy of the new agent’s acceptance of that appointment within ten Business Days of such acceptance. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Holder to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Company in any other court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the Company has or hereafter may acquire any sovereign or other immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, the Company irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations hereunder or under the Purchase Agreement.

12.5 Delays or Omissions. No delay or failure by any party to insist on the strict performance of any provision of the Note, or to exercise any power, right or remedy, will be deemed a waiver or impairment of such performance, power, right or remedy or of any other provision of the Note, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any breach or Default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or Default thereafter occurring.

as the Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement

(the “Purchasers”)

11 December 2015

Dear Sirs

▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ International, Ltd.

We have acted as counsel as to Cayman Islands law to ▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ International, Ltd. (the “Company”) in connection with its issue of a Convertible Note in the principal amount of US$500 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the rate provided, due 211 December 2025 (the “Note”), which is convertible into American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each ADS representing 0.25 of the Company’s ordinary shares of par value US$0.01 each (the “Shares”).

1 Documents Reviewed

We have reviewed originals, copies, drafts or conformed copies of the following documents:

1.1 The certificate of incorporation dated 3 March 2000 and the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company as adopted by a special resolution passed on 8 December 2003 and as further amended by a special resolution passed on 17 October 2006 (the “Memorandum and Articles”).

1.2 [The written resolutions]/[The minutes of the meeting] of the board of directors of the Company dated 9 December 2015 (the “Resolutions”).

1.3 A certificate of good standing with respect to the Company issued by the Registrar of Companies dated 22 May 2015 (the “Certificate of Good Standing”).

1.4 Convertible Note Purchase Agreement dated as of 9 December 2015 (the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and the Purchasers.

1.5 The Note.

1.6 A certificate from a Director of the Company a copy of which is annexed hereto (the “Director’s Certificate”);

The transaction documents listed in 1.4 and 1.5 above are together referred to as the “Transaction Documents”.

2 Assumptions

The following opinions are given only as to, and based on, circumstances and matters of fact existing and known to us on the date of this opinion letter. These opinions only relate to the laws of the Cayman Islands which are in force on the date of this opinion letter. In giving the following opinions, we have relied (without further verification) upon the completeness and accuracy of the Director’s Certificate. We have also relied upon the following assumptions, which we have not independently verified:

2.1 The Transaction Documents have been or will be authorised and duly executed and unconditionally delivered by or on behalf of all relevant parties in accordance with all relevant laws (other than, with respect to the Company, the laws of the Cayman Islands).

2.2 The Transaction Documents are, or will be, legal, valid, binding and enforceable against all relevant parties in accordance with their terms under the laws of the State of New York (the “Relevant Law”) and all other relevant laws (other than, with respect to the Company, the laws of the Cayman Islands).

2.3 The choice of the Relevant Law as the governing law of the Transaction Documents has been made in good faith and would be regarded as a valid and binding selection which will be upheld by the courts of the State of New York or the courts of the United States located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York (the “Relevant Jurisdiction”) and any other relevant jurisdiction (other than the Cayman Islands) as a matter of the Relevant Law and all other relevant laws (other than the laws of the Cayman Islands).

2.4 Where a Transaction Document has been provided to us in draft or undated form, it will be duly executed, dated and unconditionally delivered by all parties thereto in materially the same form as the last version provided to us.

2.5 Copies of documents, conformed copies or drafts of documents provided to us are true and complete copies of, or in the final forms of, the originals, and translations of documents provided to us are complete and accurate.

2.6 All signatures, initials and seals are genuine.

2.7 The capacity, power, authority and legal right of all parties under all relevant laws and regulations (other than, with respect to the Company, the laws of the Cayman Islands) to enter into, execute, unconditionally deliver and perform their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents.

2.8 There is no contractual or other prohibition or restriction (other than as arising under Cayman Islands law) binding on the Company prohibiting or restricting it from entering into and performing its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

2.9 No monies paid to or for the account of any party under the Transaction Documents represent or will represent criminal property or terrorist property (as defined in the Proceeds of Crime Law (2014 Revision) and the Terrorism Law (2011 Revision), respectively).

2.10 Payment obligations of the Company under the Transaction Documents are unsubordinated and undeferred as a contractual matter under the governing law of the Transaction Documents and the parties to the Transaction Documents do not subsequently agree to subordinate or defer their claims.

2.11 No invitation has been or will be made by or on behalf of the Company to the public in the Cayman Islands to subscribe for the Note.

2.12 There is nothing under any law (other than the laws of the Cayman Islands) which would or might affect the opinions set out below. Specifically, we have made no independent investigation of the Relevant Law.

2.13 The Court Register constitutes a complete record of the proceedings before the Grand Court as at the time of the Litigation Search (as those terms are defined below).

3 Opinions

Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing assumptions and the qualifications set out below, and having regard to such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

3.1 The Company has been duly incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

3.2 The Company has all the requisite power and authority under the Memorandum and Articles to enter into, execute and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents including the issue and offer of the Note.

3.3 The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents do not, and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, including the issue and offer of the Note, will not, conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of the Memorandum and Articles or any law, public rule or regulation applicable to the Company currently in force in the Cayman Islands.

3.4 The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, including the issue and offer of the Note, have been authorised by and on behalf of the Company and, upon the execution and unconditional delivery of the Transaction Documents, including the authentication of the Note and delivery thereof against payment therefor, by a director for and on behalf of the Company, the Transaction Documents will have been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company and will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms.

3.5 The issue and allotment of Shares and ADSs upon conversion of the Note have been duly authorised and will not violate, conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of the Memorandum and Articles or any law, public rule or regulation applicable to the Company in the Cayman Islands currently in force in the Cayman Islands. When Shares are issued upon conversion of the Note in accordance with the terms of the Note and entered as fully paid on the register of members (shareholders) of the Company, such Shares will be legally issued and allotted, fully paid and non-assessable, and will not be subject to any pre-emptive or similar rights under Cayman Islands law or the Memorandum and Articles.

3.6 The Transaction Documents are in proper form under the laws of the Cayman Islands for the enforcement thereof against the Company, subject in so far as such enforcement may be limited as more particularly set forth in paragraph 4.1 below.

3.7 No authorisations, consents, approvals, licences, validations or exemptions are required by law from any governmental authorities or agencies or other official bodies in the Cayman Islands in connection with:

(a) the execution, creation or delivery of the Transaction Documents by and on behalf of the Company;

(b) the execution, authentication, issue and delivery of the Note;

(d) the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents;

(e) the issue and delivery of ADSs upon conversion of the Note;

(f) the issue and allotment of Shares represented by the ADSs upon conversion of the Note and the deposit of such Shares with the depositary for such ADSs (the “Depositary”) against the issue by the Depositary of such ADSs; or

(g) the payment of the principal and interest and any other amounts under the Note.

3.8 No taxes, fees or charges (other than stamp duty) are payable (either by direct assessment or withholding) to the government or other taxing authority in the Cayman Islands under the laws of the Cayman Islands in respect of:

(a) the execution or delivery of the Transaction Documents, including the issue and sale of the Note by the Company;

(b) the enforcement of the Transaction Documents;

(d) the issue and delivery of ADSs upon conversion of the Note, and the issue and allotment of Shares represented by the ADSs upon conversion of the Note and the deposit of such Shares with the Depositary against the issue by the Depositary of such ADSs; or

(e) the payment of dividends and other distributions declared and payable on the Shares or the ADSs.

The Cayman Islands currently have no form of income, corporate or capital gains tax and no estate duty, inheritance tax or gift tax.

3.9 The courts of the Cayman Islands will observe and give effect to the choice of the Relevant Law as the governing law of the Transaction Documents.

3.10 The irrevocable submission by the Company in the Transaction Documents to the jurisdiction of any courts of the State of New York or the courts of the United States located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York (each a “New York Court”), the appointment of Law Debenture Corporate Services Inc. as an agent to accept service of process in such jurisdiction and the waiver by the Company of any objection to the venue of a proceeding in a New York Court, pursuant to the Transaction Documents in any action or proceedings based on or arising under the Transaction

Documents, is legal, valid and binding on the Company assuming that the same is true under the governing law of the Transaction Documents and under the laws, rules and procedures applying in the New York Courts.

3.11 The obligations of the Company under the Transaction Documents rank and will rank at least pari passu with all its other present and future unsecured obligations (other than those preferred by law).

3.12 Based solely on our search of the Register of Writs and Other Originating Process (the “Court Register”) maintained by the Clerk of the Court of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands from the date of incorporation of the Company to the close of business (Cayman Islands time) on 9 December 2015 (the “Litigation Search”), the Court Register disclosed no writ, originating summons, originating motion, petition (including any winding-up petition), counterclaim nor third party notice (“Originating Process”) nor any amended Originating Process pending before the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, in which the Company is a defendant or respondent.

3.13 Although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the Relevant Jurisdiction, a judgment obtained in such jurisdiction will be recognised and enforced in the courts of the Cayman Islands at common law, without any re-examination of the merits of the underlying dispute, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment debt in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, provided such judgment:

(a) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction;

(b) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given;

(d) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty; and

(e) was not obtained in a manner and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.

3.14 It is not necessary to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of the Transaction Documents that any document be filed, recorded or enrolled with any governmental authority or agency or any official body in the Cayman Islands.

3.15 There is no exchange control legislation under Cayman Islands law and accordingly there are no exchange control regulations imposed under Cayman Islands law.

3.16 The Company can ▇▇▇ and be sued in its own name under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

3.17 The Company is not entitled to any immunity under the laws of the Cayman Islands whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise for any legal proceedings in the Cayman Islands to enforce or to collect upon the Transaction Documents.

3.18 The Purchasers will not be treated as resident, domiciled or carrying on or transacting business or subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands or in violation of any law thereof solely by reason of the negotiation, preparation or execution of the

Transaction Documents, as applicable or the entering into of or the enforcement of its rights under the Transaction Documents, as applicable.

3.19 The Purchasers will not be required to be licensed, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in the Cayman Islands in order to enforce their rights under, or as a consequence of the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents.

4 Qualifications

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications:

4.1 The obligations assumed by the Company under the Transaction Documents will not necessarily be enforceable in all circumstances in accordance with their terms. In particular:

(a) enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganisation, readjustment of debts or moratorium or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the rights of creditors;

(b) enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity. For example, equitable remedies such as specific performance may not be available, inter alia, where damages are considered to be an adequate remedy;

(c) some claims may become barred under relevant statutes of limitation or may be or become subject to defences of set off, counterclaim, estoppel and similar defences;

(d) where obligations are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands, they may not be enforceable in the Cayman Islands to the extent that performance would be illegal under the laws of that jurisdiction;

(e) the courts of the Cayman Islands have jurisdiction to give judgment in the currency of the relevant obligation and statutory rates of interest payable upon judgments will vary according to the currency of the judgment. If the Company becomes insolvent and is made subject to a liquidation proceeding, the courts of the Cayman Islands will require all debts to be proved in a common currency, which is likely to be the “functional currency” of the Company determined in accordance with applicable accounting principles. Currency indemnity provisions have not been tested, so far as we are aware, in the courts of the Cayman Islands;

(f) arrangements that constitute penalties will not be enforceable;

(g) enforcement may be prevented by reason of fraud, coercion, duress, undue influence, misrepresentation, public policy or mistake or limited by the doctrine of frustration of contracts;

(h) provisions imposing confidentiality obligations may be overridden by compulsion of applicable law or the requirements of legal and/or regulatory process;

(i) the courts of the Cayman Islands may decline to exercise jurisdiction in relation to substantive proceedings brought under or in relation to the Transaction Documents in matters where they determine that such proceedings may be tried in a more appropriate forum;

(j) we reserve our opinion as to the enforceability of the relevant provisions of the Transaction Documents to the extent that they purport to grant exclusive jurisdiction as there may be circumstances in which the courts of the Cayman Islands would accept jurisdiction notwithstanding such provisions; and

(k) a company cannot, by agreement or in its articles of association, restrict the exercise of a statutory power and there is doubt as to the enforceability of any provision in the Transaction Documents whereby the Company covenants to restrict the exercise of powers specifically given to it under the Companies Law (2013 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, including, without limitation, the power to increase its authorised share capital, amend its memorandum and articles of association or present a petition to a Cayman Islands court for an order to wind up the Company.

4.2 Reference in this opinion to a “deposit” of Shares pursuant to the Deposit Agreement means the allotment and issue to the Depositary of the Shares and the registration of the Depositary (or its nominee) in the register of members of the Company as the registered holder of such Shares and the delivery to the Depositary of a share certificate in respect of such registration, all for the purpose of enabling the Depositary to issue ADSs representing such Shares.

4.3 Applicable court fees will be payable in respect of the enforcement of the Transaction Documents.

4.4 Cayman Islands stamp duty may be payable if the original Transaction Documents are brought to or executed in the Cayman Islands.

4.5 To maintain the Company in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands, annual filing fees must be paid and returns made to the Registrar of Companies within the time frame prescribed by law.

4.6 Under the Companies Law (2013 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, the register of members of a Cayman Islands company is by statute regarded as prima facie evidence of any matters which the Companies Law (2013 Revision) directs or authorises to be inserted therein. A third party interest in the shares in question would not appear. An entry in the register of members may yield to a court order for rectification (for example, in the event of fraud or manifest error).

4.7 The obligations of the Company may be subject to restrictions pursuant to United Nations sanctions as implemented under the laws of the Cayman Islands and/or restrictive measures adopted by the European Union Council for Common Foreign and Security Policy extended to the Cayman Islands by the Order of Her Majesty in Council.

4.8 A certificate, determination, calculation or designation of any party to the Transaction Documents as to any matter provided therein might be held by a Cayman Islands court not to be conclusive final and binding if, for example, it could be shown to have an unreasonable or arbitrary basis, or in the event of manifest error.

4.9 The Litigation Search of the Court Register would not reveal, amongst other things, an Originating Process filed with the Grand Court which, pursuant to the Grand Court Rules or best practice of the Clerk of the Courts’ office, should have been entered in the Court Register but was not in fact entered in the Court Register (properly or at all).

4.10 In principle the courts of the Cayman Islands will award costs and disbursements in litigation in accordance with the relevant contractual provisions but there remains some uncertainty as to the way in which the rules of the Grand Court will be applied in practice. Whilst it is clear that costs incurred prior to judgment can be recovered in accordance with the contract, it is likely that post-judgment costs (to the extent recoverable at all) will be subject to taxation in accordance with Grand Court Rules Order 62.

4.11 Preferred creditors under Cayman Islands law will rank ahead of unsecured creditors of the Company. Furthermore, all costs, charges and expenses properly incurred in the voluntary winding up of a company, including the remuneration of the liquidators, are payable out of the assets of the company in priority to all other unsecured claims.

4.12 We reserve our opinion as to the extent to which the courts of the Cayman Islands would, in the event of any relevant illegality or invalidity, sever the relevant provisions of the Transaction Documents and enforce the remainder of the Transaction Documents or the transaction of which such provisions form a part, notwithstanding any express provisions in the Transaction Documents in this regard.

4.13 We are not qualified to opine as to the meaning, validity or effect of any references to foreign (i.e. non-Cayman Islands) statutes, rules, regulations, codes, judicial authority or any other promulgations and any references to them in the Transaction Documents.

We express no view as to the commercial terms of the Transaction Documents or whether such terms represent the intentions of the parties and make no comment with regard to warranties or representations that may be made by the Company.

The opinions in this opinion letter are strictly limited to the matters contained in the opinions section above and do not extend to any other matters. We have not been asked to review and we therefore have not reviewed any of the ancillary documents relating to the Transaction Documents and express no opinion or observation upon the terms of any such document.

This opinion letter is addressed to and for the benefit solely of the addressee and may not be relied upon by any other person for any purpose, nor may it be transmitted or disclosed (in whole or part) to any other person without our prior written consent.

Yours faithfully
