ARTICLE II. THE SECURITIES

Section 2.01 FORM AND DATING.

The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form set forth in SCHEDULE 1, which is incorporated in and forms a part of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage, provided that such notations, legends or endorsements are in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

Securities offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of one or more global Securities, substantially in the form set forth in SCHEDULE 1 (the Global Security), deposited with the Common Depositary, as common depositary for the Clearing Systems, registered in the name of the common depositary for the Clearing Systems or a nominee thereof, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided and bearing the legends set forth in SCHEDULE 2 PART 1 and PART 2. The aggregate principal amount of the Global Security may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Common Depositary, as common depositary for the Clearing Systems, as hereinafter provided; provided that the aggregate principal amount of the Global Security or Securities shall not initially exceed US$[—], being the aggregate amount of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Preferred Obligations held by each Initial Holder at the Issue Date; (ii) interest accrued but unpaid up to and including June 3, 2013 at 23% per annum of internal rate of return, less dividends received, as provided under the Preferred Obligations; and (iii) interest accrued but unpaid from June 4, 2013 up to the Issue Date at the rate of 5.535% per annum of the Preferred Obligations outstanding as of June 3, 2013; provided, further, however that additional Securities may be issued to accommodate any PIK amount from time to time pursuant hereto.

Securities issued in exchange for interests in a Global Security pursuant to SECTION 2.15 may be issued in the form of permanent certificated Securities in registered form in substantially the form set forth in SCHEDULE 1 (the Physical Securities) and, if applicable, bearing any legends required by SECTION 2.16.

The Securities issued on the Issue Date and the PIK Securities shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, and unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the Securities shall include the Securities issued on the Issue Date and any PIK Securities. The principal amount or aggregate principal amount of any Security shall include any PIKed amount, as modified by any Conversion in accordance with these presents.

Section 2.02 EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION.

One duly authorized Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

A Security’s validity shall not be affected by the failure of an Officer whose signature is on such Security to hold, at the time the Security is authenticated, the same office at the Company.

A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

Upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities for original issue as provided in SECTION 2.01, with the aggregate principal amount of the Securities outstanding at any time not to exceed the maximum amount permitted thereunder. In addition, in connection with the payment of PIKed interest, the Trustee shall upon receipt of a Company Order as provided in SECTION 2.15 authenticate and deliver PIK Securities for an aggregate principal amount specified in such Company Order for such PIK Securities issued hereunder.

Upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities not bearing the Private Placement Legend to be issued to the transferee when sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act as set forth in SECTION 2.15(b).

The Trustee shall act as the initial authenticating agent. Thereafter, the Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such authenticating agent. An authenticating agent so appointed has the same rights as the Trustee to deal with the Company and its Affiliates.

The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons and only in denominations of US$1.00 principal amount and any integral multiples of US$1.00; provided that an increase in the principal amount of Securities as a result of the Company’s election to PIK may be added, and PIK Securities may be issued, in denominations of US$1.00 in accordance with SECTION 2.14.

Section 2.03 REGISTRAR, PAYING AGENT AND CONVERSION AGENT.

The Company and the Guarantors shall maintain, or shall cause to be maintained, (i) an office or agency in Luxembourg, where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange, (ii) an office or agency in London, England, where Securities may be presented for payment and (iii) an office or agency in London, England, where Securities may be presented for conversion. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company and the Guarantors may appoint or change one or more co-Registrars, one or more additional paying agents and one or more additional conversion agents without notice and may act in any such capacity on its own behalf. The term Registrar includes any co-Registrar; the term Paying Agent includes any additional paying agent; and the term Conversion Agent includes any additional conversion agent.

The Company and the Guarantors shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company and the Guarantors shall notify the Trustee and the Securities Agent of the name and address of any such agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company and the Guarantors fail to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.

The Company and the Guarantors initially appoint The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as Paying Agent and Conversion Agent, The Bank of New York Mellon (Luxembourg) S.A. as Transfer Agent and as Registrar, and The Bank of New York Mellon as Cayman Collateral Agent.

Section 2.04 MONEY HELD BY PAYING AGENT.

Each Paying Agent shall hold for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all moneys held by the Paying Agent for the payment of the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee of any Default by the Company and the Guarantors in making any such payment. While any such Default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds so paid by it. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for such money. If the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold as a separate trust fund all money held by it as Paying Agent.

Section 2.05 HOLDERS LISTS.

The Securities Agent shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Securities Agent is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish, or shall cause to be furnished, to the Trustee and the Securities Agent on or before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee or the Securities Agent may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee or the Securities Agent, as the case may be, may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Holders appearing in the security register of the Registrar.

Section 2.06 TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

Subject to SECTIONS 2.15 and 2.16 hereof, where Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request to register their transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transaction are met. To permit registrations of transfer and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities upon the Trustee’s receipt of a Company Order therefor.

No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Securities, except that the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee or the Securities Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or similar governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, exchange or conversion of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to SECTION 2.10 or 9.05 not involving any transfer.

Section 2.07 REPLACEMENT SECURITIES.

If the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate a replacement Security upon surrender to the Trustee of the mutilated Security, or upon delivery to the Trustee of evidence of the loss, destruction or theft of the Security satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company. In the case of a lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security, if required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be provided by the Holder that is satisfactory to the Securities Agent, the Trustee and the Company to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Trustee and the Securities Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if such Security is replaced. The Securities Agent, Trustee and the Company may charge such Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security.

In case any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security when due.

Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company only as provided in SECTION 2.08.

Section 2.08 OUTSTANDING SECURITIES.

Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those converted, those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this SECTION 2.08 as not outstanding. Except to the extent provided in SECTION 2.09, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates holds the Security.

If a Security is replaced pursuant to SECTION 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it, or a court holds, that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company) holds on the Maturity Date, money sufficient to pay the aggregate principal amount with respect to all Securities to be redeemed or paid upon maturity, plus, if applicable, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, payable as herein provided upon maturity, then (unless there shall be a Default in the payment of such aggregate principal amount, or of such accrued and unpaid interest), on and after such date such Securities shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding, interest on such Securities shall cease to accrue, and such Securities shall be deemed paid whether or not such Securities are delivered to the Paying Agent. Thereafter, all rights of the Holders of such Securities shall terminate with respect to such Securities, other than the right to receive the principal amount, plus, if applicable, such accrued and unpaid interest, in accordance with this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder shall be entitled to convert a Security on or prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions herein contained, provided such Security has not been surrendered for payment upon maturity.

If a Security is converted in accordance with ARTICLE IX, then, from and after the time of such conversion on the Conversion Date, such Security shall cease to be outstanding, and interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on such Security, unless there shall be a Default in the payment or delivery of the consideration payable hereunder upon such conversion.

Section 2.09 SECURITIES HELD BY THE COMPANY, THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR OR AN AFFILIATE.

In determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent (including the determination of Majority Holders), Securities owned by the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that, for the purposes of determining whether a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Securities Agent, as applicable, shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which the Trustee or the Securities Agent, as applicable, has received an Officer’s Certificate shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be considered to be outstanding for purposes of this SECTION 2.09 if the pledgee establishes, to the satisfaction of the Trustee or the Securities Agent, as applicable, the pledgee’s right so to concur with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not, and is not acting at the direction or on behalf of, the Company, an Affiliate of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor, or any such other obligor or an Affiliate of such other obligor on the Securities. In the event of a dispute or uncertainty as to whether the pledgee has established the foregoing, the Trustee and the Securities Agent may rely on the advice of counsel or on an Officer’s Certificate.

Section 2.10 TEMPORARY SECURITIES.

Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, each temporary Security shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities, and such temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

Section 2.11 CANCELLATION.

The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Paying Agent for cancellation. The Registrar and the Trustee shall forward to the Paying Agent any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. The Paying Agent shall promptly cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, conversion or cancellation in accordance with its customary procedures. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Paying Agent for cancellation or that any Holder has converted pursuant to ARTICLE IX. All cancelled Securities held by the Paying Agent shall be destroyed, and certification of their destruction shall be delivered to the Company (upon prior written notice) unless the Company shall, by a Company Order, direct that cancelled Securities be returned to it.

Section 2.12 DEFAULTED INTEREST.

If and to the extent that the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, the Company shall pay in cash the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent not prohibited by applicable statute or case law, interest on such defaulted interest at the rate provided in the Securities. The Company shall pay the defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest) to the persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix such record date and payment date. At least 15 calendar days before the record date, the Company shall mail to the Trustee and Holders a notice that states the record date, payment date and amount of interest to be paid. Upon the due payment in full, interest shall no longer accrue on such defaulted interest pursuant to this SECTION 2.12.

Section 2.13 DEPOSIT OF MONEYS.

Prior to 10:00 a.m., Hong Kong time, at least one (1) Business Day prior to each interest payment date or the Maturity Date, the Company shall have deposited with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust in accordance with SECTION 2.04) money, in funds immediately available on such date, sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such interest payment date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such interest payment date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, unless:

(a) in connection with any interest installment payment, the Company shall have elected not to pay cash for such interest installment by giving a written notice (substantially in the form of the notice in Schedule 7) (the PIK Notice) to the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Paying Agent by 10:00 a.m., Hong Kong time, on the date no later than 15 Business Days before the relevant interest payment date, in which case (A) on the relevant interest payment date, the Company shall PIK in accordance with SECTION 2.14, and (B) the Trustee shall as soon as practicable give such notice to each Holder of such election by the Company; provided, however, that if any Holder shall have delivered to the Company, the Conversion Agent and the Trustee an Interest Conversion Notice at any time after the afore-said election is made by the Company but on or prior to the fifth Business Day after the relevant interest payment date (the PIK Conversion Period), irrevocably notifying the Company, the Conversion Agent and the Trustee that it has elected to convert PIK Securities into Ordinary Shares or ADSs on the basis of the Conversion Price at the Interest Conversion Rate, the Company shall convert or cause to be converted such Holder’s PIKed amount and issue or cause to be issued to that Holder, within five Business Days of the relevant Conversion Date, Ordinary Shares or ADSs (as applicable) on the basis of the Conversion Price at the Interest Conversion Rate (except for any cash payment in lieu of a fractional Ordinary Share or ADS which may be payable under SECTION 9.02(b)), subject to the provisions of SECTION 4.13, SECTION 9.01 and SECTION 9.02 (as applicable) (PIK Conversion).;

(b) in connection with the principal payment due on Initial Maturity Date, at the option of the Super Majority Holders, which may be exercised one or more times, notifying the Company, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent in writing 15 Business Days prior to the Initial Maturity Date (or any subsequent Maturity Date as extended by the Super Majority Holders as permitted herein, as the case may be), (i) the relevant Maturity Date will be extended as stated in the written notice of the Super Majority Holders and/or

(ii) the Company shall make the payment of principal and interest due on the Maturity Date with ADSs at VWAP for 20-trading-day period immediately prior to (but excluding) the relevant Maturity Date, as so extended, in which case the Company shall issue to the Holder within five Business Days following the relevant Maturity Date certificates evidencing the relevant number of Ordinary Shares on the basis of the Conversion Price at the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate, as the case may be, equal to the price per Ordinary Share by referring to the VWAP of ADSs for the 20-trading-day period immediately prior to (but excluding) such Maturity Date (except for any cash payment in lieu of a fractional Ordinary Share or ADS which may be payable under SECTION 9.02(b)), with further deposit of such Ordinary Shares for the issuance of ADSs by the ADS Depositary to comply with provisions of SECTION 4.13, SECTION 9.01 and SECTION 9.02 (as applicable); provided, however, that, to the extent that any of the Ordinary Shares contemplated under this SECTION 2.13 shall constitute a Restricted Security, if issued or delivered, the Company shall issue such Ordinary Shares with the certificates to bear the Private Placement Legend until the Ordinary Share Restriction Termination Date; and

(c) The Company may not PIK in lieu of paying interest in cash if such interest is payable with respect to any principal amount that is due and payable, whether at Final Maturity, upon redemption, repurchase or otherwise except as elected by the Super Majority holders in accordance with paragraph (b)(ii) above.

(a) if the Super Majority Holders intend to elect either (i) to extend the Maturity Date in accordance with SECTION 2.13(b), or (ii) to receive ADSs in lieu at the VWAP for 20-trading-day period immediately prior to (but excluding) such date, or (iii) a combination of both, in which case all Holders shall be deemed to so elect irrevocably,

Number of Ordinary Shares = Outstanding principal of, interest or premium, if any, on, any Security due and payable on the Maturity Date / price per Ordinary Share by referring to the VWAP of ADSs for the 20-trading-day period immediately prior to (but excluding) the aforementioned due date,

in which event,

(B) The Company shall be obligated to issue such certificates representing Ordinary Shares and complete the procedures for issuing the ADSs pursuant to SECTION 4.13 as so elected by the Holders;

(c) The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative.

Section 5.04 WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS.

Subject to SECTIONS 5.07 and 8.02, the Majority Holders may, by notice to the Trustee, waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences, other than (A) a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Security or under any Guarantee, (B) a Default or Event of Default arising from a failure by the Company to perform its Conversion Obligation hereunder or (C) any Default or Event of Default in respect of any provision of this Indenture or the Securities which, under SECTION 8.02, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected.

Section 5.05 CONTROL BY MAJORITY.

The Majority Holders may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability unless the Trustee is offered indemnity satisfactory to it; provided, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. This SECTION 5.05 shall be in lieu of TIA Section 316(a)(1)(A), and, as permitted by the TIA, TIA Section 316(a)(1)(A) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture.

Section 5.06 LIMITATION ON SUITS.

Except as provided in SECTION 5.07, a Holder may not institute any proceeding under this Indenture or the Securities, or for the appointment of a receiver or a trustee, or for any other remedy under this Indenture or the Securities unless:

(a) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(c) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity and/or security and/or pre-funding satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense to or of the Trustee in connection with pursuing such remedy;

(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity and/or security and/or pre-funding; and

(e) during such 60-day period, the Majority Holders do not give the Trustee a written direction inconsistent with the request.

A Holder may not use this Indenture or the Securities to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.

Section 5.07 RIGHTS OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of all amounts due with respect to the Securities, on or after the respective due dates as provided herein, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to convert its Security in accordance with this Indenture, or to bring suit for the enforcement of such right, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

Section 5.08 COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE.

If an Event of Default specified in SECTION 5.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company and the Guarantors for the whole amount due with respect to the Securities, including any unpaid and accrued interest and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the compensation, expenses, disbursement and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 5.09 TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.

The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, the Guarantors or their respective creditors or properties.

The Trustee may collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official in any judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under SECTION 6.07.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding, except as expressly contemplated in the Schemes.

Section 5.10 PRIORITIES.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

(c) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Agent may be relieved from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer located at the Specified Corporate Trust Office thereof, unless it is conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee or the Securities Agent, as the case may be, was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to SECTION 5.05.

(a) Subject to SECTION 6.01, each of the Trustee and the Securities Agent may conclusively rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Agent need investigate any fact or matter stated in the document; if, however, the Trustee or the Securities Agent shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled during normal business hours of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, to examine the relevant books, records and premises of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, personally or by agent or attorney upon prior written notice.

(b) Before the Trustee or the Securities Agent acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee and the Securities Agent may, in the absence of receipt of such written notification, conclusively assume that there is no Default or Event of Default. Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee or the Securities Agent under ARTICLE IV (other than SECTION 4.06) is for informational purposes only and the receipt by the Trustee or the Securities Agent of the foregoing shall not constitute actual or constructive notice or knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which each of the Trustee and the Securities Agent is entitled to conclusively rely on the Officer’s Certificates).

(h) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Agent shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee or the Securities Agent, as applicable, security and/or indemnity and/or pre-funding satisfactory to the Trustee or the Securities Agent, as applicable, against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(k) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Agent shall be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability for the performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds and/or indemnity and/or security and/or pre-funding against such risk or liability is not assured to it.

(l) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Agent shall have any duty (i) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Indenture or any Indenture referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof or (ii) to see to any insurance.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights the Trustee would have if it were not such a Trustee. Any Securities Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee, however, must comply with SECTIONS 6.10 and 6.11.

Section 6.04 DISCLAIMER OF TRUSTEE AND SECURITIES AGENT.

Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Agent makes any representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities; the Trustee shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities other than its certificate of authentication; and no representation, warranty or undertaking, express or implied, is made and no responsibility or liability is accepted by the Trustee as to the accuracy or completeness of any information supplied in connection with the Securities.

Section 6.05 NOTICE OF DEFAULTS.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing as to which the Trustee has received written notice pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, or as to which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall receive written notice, then the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 30 days after receipt of such notice, unless such Default or Event of Default has been cured or waived.

Section 6.06 REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS.

Within 60 days after each July 15, beginning with July 15, 2015, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder if required by TIA Section 313(a) a brief report dated as of such July 15 that complies with TIA Section 313(c). In such event, the Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b).

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be mailed by first class mail to the Company and filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of the listing or delisting of the Securities on or from any stock exchange.

Section 6.07 COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY.

Each of the Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee and the Securities Agent from time to time such compensation for their services as shall be agreed upon in writing. Neither the Trustee’s nor the Securities Agent’s compensation shall be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. Each of the Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally covenants and agrees to reimburse the Trustee and the Securities Agent upon request for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them pursuant to, and in accordance with, any provision hereof. Such expenses shall include the compensation and out-of-pocket expenses of the agents and counsel of the Trustee and the Securities Agent.

Each of the Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally also covenants to indemnify each of the Trustee and the Securities Agent (which in each case shall include the respective directors, officers, agents and employees) against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including the fees and expenses of counsel and taxes other than franchise taxes and taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee or the Securities Agent) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers and duties hereunder. Failure by the Trustee and/or the Securities Agent to so notify the Company and the Guarantors shall not relieve the Company or the Guarantors of their respective obligations hereunder. Neither the Company nor the Guarantors need to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee to the extent attributable to the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of the Trustee, or by the Securities Agent to the extent attributable to the gross negligence of the Securities Agent, as the case may be, and as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final decision.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee or the Securities Agent be liable hereunder for special, indirect, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits), whether or not foreseeable, even if the Trustee or the Securities Agent, as applicable, has been advised of the likelihood of such losses or damages and regardless of the form of action.

To secure the Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this SECTION 6.07, the Trustee and the Securities Agent shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee or the Securities Agent, except that held in trust to pay amounts due on particular Securities.

The indemnity obligations of the Company and the Guarantors with respect to the Trustee and the Securities Agent provided for in this SECTION 6.07 shall survive the termination of this Indenture, the repayment of the Securities and any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities Agent, as applicable.

When the Trustee or the Securities Agent incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in SECTION 5.01(h) or (i) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

The Company agrees to pay on the Issue Date fees and expenses of counsel to the Trustee and Securities Agent as agreed between the Company and the Trustee and Securities Agent.

Section 6.08 REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE OR THE SECURITIES AGENT.

A resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities Agent and appointment of a successor Trustee or successor Securities Agent shall become effective only upon such successor’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this SECTION 6.08.

Each of the Trustee and the Securities Agent may resign by so notifying the Company and the Guarantors in writing 30 Business Days prior to such resignation. The Majority Holders may remove, by providing 30-Business-Day prior notice, the Trustee or the Securities Agent by so notifying the Trustee or the Securities Agent, as applicable, and the Company and the Guarantors in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee or successor Securities Agent with the Company’s consent.

If a successor Trustee or successor Securities Agent, as applicable, does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee or retiring Securities Agent, as applicable, resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or retiring Securities Agent, as applicable, may appoint its own successor or the retiring Trustee or the retiring Securities Agent, as applicable, and may, at the Company’s expense, and the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities may, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or successor Securities Agent, as applicable.

If the Trustee or the Securities Agent fails to comply with SECTION 6.10, the Company, any Guarantor or any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee or the Securities Agent, as applicable, and the appointment of a successor Trustee or successor Securities Agent, as applicable.

Each successor Trustee or successor Securities Agent shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee or retiring Securities Agent, as applicable, and to the Company and the Guarantors. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee or the retiring Securities Agent, as applicable, shall become effective, and the successor Trustee or successor Securities Agent, as applicable, shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee or the Securities Agent, as applicable, under this Indenture. The successor Trustee or successor Securities Agent, as applicable, shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee or retiring Securities Agent, as applicable, shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee or Securities Agent, as applicable, to the successor Trustee or successor Securities Agent, as applicable, subject to the lien provided for in SECTION 6.07. Notwithstanding any replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this SECTION 6.08, the Company’s and each Guarantor’s obligations under SECTION 6.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 6.09 SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE OR SECURITIES AGENT BY MERGER, ETC.

If the Trustee or the Securities Agent consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee or successor Securities Agent, as applicable, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible hereunder.

Section 6.11 PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY.

The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

In addition, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Securities Agent may enter into a supplemental indenture without the consent of Holders to cure any ambiguity, defect, omission or inconsistency in this Indenture in a manner that does not, individually or in the aggregate with all other modifications made or to be made to the Indenture, adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect.

Section 8.02 WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS.

The Company and the Guarantors may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Guarantees or the Securities with the written consent of the Majority Holders. Subject to SECTIONS 5.04 and 5.07, the Majority Holders may, by notice to the Trustee, waive compliance by the Company or the Guarantors with any provision of this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Guarantees or the Securities without notice to any other Holder. Unless expressly permitted hereunder or under the Securities, without the consent of each Holder of each Security then outstanding affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to SECTION 5.04, may not:

(a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or the payment date of any interest installment on any Security;

Promptly after an amendment, supplement or waiver under SECTION 8.01 or this SECTION 8.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed, to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice shall not in any way impair or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Every amendment, waiver or supplement to this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 8.04 REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective with respect to the Securities, it shall bind every Holder unless such amendment, supplement or waiver makes a change that requires, pursuant to SECTION 8.02, the consent of each Holder affected. In that case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and, provided that notice of such amendment, supplement or waiver is reflected on a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security.

Nothing in this SECTION 8.04 shall impair the Company’s rights pursuant SECTION 8.01 to amend this Indenture or the Securities without the consent of any Holder in the manner set forth in, and permitted by, such SECTION 8.01.

Section 8.05 NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES.

If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security as directed and prepared by the Company about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms.

Section 8.06 TRUSTEE AND SECURITIES AGENT PROTECTED.

The Trustee and the Securities Agent shall sign any amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver authorized pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor the Securities Agent need sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII that adversely affects the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or the Securities Agent, as applicable. Each of the Trustee and the Securities Agent shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel as to legal matters and an Officer’s Certificate as to factual matters that any supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver is permitted or authorized pursuant to this Indenture.

Section 8.08 CONSTITUTION OF PIKED AMOUNTS WITHOUT SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE.

If the Company elects to PIK in the form of (i) an increase in the outstanding principal amount of Securities or (ii) the issuance of PIK Securities, such increase in outstanding principal amount of Securities or issuance of PIK Securities shall be constituted by this Indenture without any supplemental indenture being required.

ARTICLE IX. CONVERSION

Section 9.01 Conversion Privilege; Restrictive Legends

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Indenture, the Securities shall be convertible into ADSs or Ordinary Shares in accordance with, and as adjusted pursuant to, this ARTICLE IX at any time prior to (and excluding) the Maturity Date.

(b) The conversion rate for the Securities, other than PIK Conversions, (the Conversion Rate) shall be as follows:

(i) 50 Ordinary Shares per US$1,000 of the principal amount of Securities, whether represented by ADSs, if such conversion occurs on or before March 31, 2015;

March 31, 2016 (both dates inclusive), with the conversion limited to (A) US$62.5 million of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities during such one-year period and (B) US$20 million of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities during any rolling quarter in such one-year period, each on a first-come-first-served basis (the Conversion Cap), as follows: (A) all Conversion Notices received on the same day will be treated as having been received at the same time; and (B) in the event that the aggregate of Conversion Notices received at the same time would exceed the Conversion Cap, then the amount remaining under the Conversion Cap is allocated to each relevant Holder pro-rata on the basis of the principal amount outstanding under the Security of the converting Holder as a percentage of the aggregate of principal amount outstanding under the Securities of the all of the converting Holders on that day; it being agreed that, where the Conversion Cap has been fully exhausted, (1) the Company shall return each un-used Conversion Notice or portion thereof to the Holder with the reason noted therein for its rejection; and (2) the balance of the principal amount of the Securities shall reflect such full or partial conversion; and

(iii) the number of Ordinary Shares, whether represented by ADSs, into which US$1,000 of the principal amount of Securities may be convertible at the price per Ordinary Share by referring to the VWAP of ADSs for the 20-trading-day period immediately prior to (but excluding) the date of the Conversion Notice, if such conversion occurs at any time on or after April 1, 2016, without any limitation on the amount of the conversion;

provided, that, for avoidance of doubt, (A) the principal amount of Securities at any date of conversion shall include any PIK amount that has been previously accredited as payments of any interest installment on such Securities and that has not been converted pursuant to an Interest Conversion Notice or a Conversion Notice, (B) the calculation of Ordinary Shares at any date of conversion shall take into account the then applicable ratio of Ordinary Shares to ADSs, (C) the Interest Conversion Rate shall apply to the PIKed amount with respect to which an Interest Conversion Notice has been duly given; and (D) the Conversion Cap does not apply to PIK Conversions.

(c) A Holder may elect to receive ADSs or Ordinary Shares upon conversion of a Security and, for the avoidance of doubt, no Holder shall be required to deposit any Ordinary Share for the issuance of any ADS upon conversion of a Security.

(d) A Holder may convert a portion of a Security so long as such conversion shall not require the Company to issue a fractional ADS or Ordinary Share. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Security also apply to conversion of a portion of such Security so long as such conversion shall not require the Company to issue a fractional ADS or Ordinary Share.

(e) To the extent that any conversion hereunder shall require the Company to issue ADSs as Restricted Securities, the Company shall issue Ordinary Shares, instead of ADSs, upon conversion of a Security, and such Ordinary Shares shall bear the Private Placement Legend until the earlier of the first anniversary of the later of the Issue Date and the last date on which the Company or any Affiliate was the owner of such Ordinary Shares or the Security (or any predecessor security) or such shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144 under the Securities Act or other applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Holder thereof (the Ordinary Share Restriction Termination Date).

(f) Upon conversion, no payment or adjustment will be made for any accrued interest on a converted Security or for any dividend on Ordinary Shares deposited for the issuance of ADSs; provided that such accrued and unpaid interest to the Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full with the ADSs or Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. If any Holder surrenders a Security for conversion after the close of business on the record date for the payment of an interest installment and prior to the related interest payment date, then, notwithstanding such conversion, the interest payable with respect to such Security on such interest payment date shall be paid on such interest payment date to the Holder of record of such Security at the close of business on such record date; provided, however, that such Security, when surrendered for conversion, must be accompanied by payment in cash to the specified account of the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such interest payment date on the portion so converted.

(g) A Holder shall pay any tax or duty as required for a conversion hereunder unless such is due and payable by the Company pursuant to the Indenture.

(h) The calculation of Ordinary Shares on any Conversion Date shall take into account the then applicable ratio of Ordinary Shares to ADSs.

Section 9.02 CONVERSION PROCEDURE.

(a) To convert a Security, a Holder must satisfy the requirements of PARAGRAPH 7 of the Securities. The Conversion Date with respect to the conversion of a Security means the date on which the Holder of the Security has complied with such requirements to convert such Security. The Conversion Agent will mark down or cancel the relevant Securities on the Conversion Date. The Person in whose name the certificate is registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record on and after the Conversion Date, unless otherwise specified in the Conversion Notice or Interest Conversion Notice.

(b) Upon each conversion of a Security, the Company shall not deliver a fractional Ordinary Share or ADS, and may elect to pay cash for any fractional Ordinary Share or ADS valued to be equal to or greater than US$10 based on the VWAP of ADSs for the 20-trading-day period immediately preceding the Conversion Date or relevant interest payment date. For the avoidance of doubt, a Holder is deemed to have waived the right to receive any cash in lieu of any fractional Ordinary Share or ADS upon each conversion of a Security, if such fractional Ordinary Share or ADS is valued to be less than US$10 in accordance with the calculation in the preceding sentence.

(c) Any deposit of Ordinary Shares issued hereunder for the issuance of ADSs by the ADS Depositary shall be governed by provisions of SECTION 4.13.

(d) Except as provided in the Securities or in this ARTICLE IX, no payment or adjustment will be made for any accrued interest on a converted Security or for any dividend on Ordinary Shares deposited for the issuance of ADSs. If any Holder surrenders a Security for conversion after the close of business on the record date for the payment of an interest installment and prior to the related interest payment date, then, notwithstanding such conversion, the interest payable with respect to such Security on such interest payment date shall be paid on such interest payment date to the Holder of record of such Security at the close of business on such record date; provided, however, that such Security, when surrendered for conversion, must be accompanied by payment in cash to the specified account of the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable by the Company in cash on such interest payment date on the portion so converted, unless the Company has given notice under SECTION 2.13(a).

(e) Except in the case of a PIK Conversion, accrued and unpaid interest to the Conversion Date is deemed to be paid in full with the ADSs or Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.

(f) If a Holder converts more than one Security at the same time, the number of full Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion, if any, shall be based on the total principal amount of all Securities converted.

(g) Upon surrender of a Security that is converted in part, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate for the Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Security surrendered.

(h) If the last day on which a Security may be converted is a Legal Holiday in a place where a Conversion Agent is located, the Security may be surrendered to that Conversion Agent on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday.

Section 9.03 TAXES ON CONVERSION.

If a Holder converts its Security, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due on the issue, if any, of Ordinary Shares upon the conversion. However, such Holder shall pay any such tax or duty which is due because the Holder requests the Ordinary Shares to be issued in a name other than such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s name. The Company may refuse to deliver any certificate representing the Ordinary Shares to be issued in a name other than such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s name until the Company receives certification in writing that all taxes and duties due because such shares are to be issued in a name other than such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s name have been paid. A Holder shall be responsible for the payment of any fees to the ADS Depositary in connection with the deposit of any of its Ordinary Shares for issuance of ADSs by the ADS Depositary although, for the avoidance of doubt, no Holder shall be required to deposit any Ordinary Share for issuance of such ADSs upon conversion of a Security.

Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulation within any jurisdiction in which the Company or any successor is organized or treated as a resident for tax purposes or through which payment is made (each, as applicable, a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction), if such withholding or deduction is required by law or by regulation or governmental policy having the effect of law. In the event that any such withholding or deduction is so required, the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, shall pay to the Holder of each Security such additional amounts (Additional Amounts) as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount received by the Holder after such withholding or deduction (and after deducting any taxes on the Additional Amounts) shall equal the amounts which would have been received by such Holder had no such withholding or deduction been required, except that no Additional Amounts shall be payable:

(a) for or on account of:

(iv) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for:

(A) the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder or beneficial owner of such Security and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction other than merely holding such Security or the receipt of payments in cash, ADSs or Ordinary Shares thereunder, including such Holder or beneficial owner being or having been a national, domiciliary or resident of such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or treated as a resident thereof or being or having been physically present or engaged in a trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein;

(B) the presentation of such Security, including ADSs or Ordinary Shares received in connection with a conversion thereof, in cases in which presentation is required, more than 30 days after the later of the date on which the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, such Security became due and payable pursuant to the terms thereof or was made or duly provided for; or

(C) the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner to comply with a timely request from the Company or any successor, addressed to the Holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, to provide certification, information, documents or other evidence concerning such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s or beneficial owner’s nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, or to make any declaration or satisfy any other reporting requirement relating to such matters, if and to the extent that due and timely compliance with such request is required by law, regulation or administrative practice of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to reduce or eliminate any withholding or deduction as to which Additional Amounts would have otherwise been payable to such Holder;

(v) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, capital gains, excise, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

(vi) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments under or with respect to the Securities, including ADSs or Ordinary Shares received in connection therewith; or

(vii) any combination of taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges referred to in the preceding clauses (i), (ii) or (iii); or

(b) with respect to any payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, such Security to a Holder, if the Holder is a fiduciary, partnership or Person other than the sole beneficial owner of any payment to the extent that such payment would be required to be included in the income under the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a member of that partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had that beneficiary, settlor, partner or beneficial owner been the Holder thereof.

Whenever there is mentioned in any context the payment of principal of, and any premium or interest on, any Security, such mention shall be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this Indenture to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

Section 9.04 COMPANY TO PROVIDE ORDINARY SHARES AND ADSs.

The Company shall at all times maintain out of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares enough Ordinary Shares to permit the issuance of Ordinary Shares, whether represented by ADSs, upon the conversion, in accordance herewith, of all of the Securities. The Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs, if any, due upon conversion of a Global Security shall be delivered by the Company in accordance with the customary practices of the Company Secretary and/or ADS Depositary. All Ordinary Shares, whether represented by the ADSs, which may be issued upon conversion of the Securities shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free of preemptive or similar rights and free of any lien or adverse claim.

The Company shall take all actions and obtain all approvals and registrations required for the payment in accordance herewith of Ordinary Shares, if any, deliverable upon the conversion of any Security, including the issuance of Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs, the deposit thereof in accordance with the Deposit Agreement, the acceptance of such ADSs into the book-entry system maintained by the Clearing Systems and the listing or quotation of such ADSs on each securities exchange or market on which the ADSs are then listed or quoted; provided, however, that the payment of any ADS issuance charges to the ADS Depositary in connection with its issuance of ADSs upon deposit of Ordinary Shares shall be the obligation of the relevant Holder.

The Company shall maintain, as long as the Securities are 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 such that freely tradable ADSs can be delivered in accordance herewith upon conversion of the Securities immediately following the earlier of (i) the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) to the extent that the Company is then eligible to register its securities on registration statement on form F-3 or (ii) the first anniversary of the Issue Date or such earlier date as Ordinary Shares issued hereunder may be deposited with the ADS Custodian against the issuance of unrestricted ADSs. The Company shall comply with all securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of ADSs or Ordinary Shares upon conversion of Securities.

Section 9.05 ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION RATE OR INTEREST CONVERSION RATE

The Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:

(a) In case the Company shall issue Ordinary Shares as a dividend or distribution to holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, or shall effect a share split or share combination of

the Ordinary Shares, the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:


		CR’ = CR(0) ×				OS’
		CR’ = CR(0) ×				OS(0)

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to (but excluding) the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution or immediately prior to (but excluding) the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be;

CR’ = the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution or immediately after the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be;

OS(0) = the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to (but excluding) the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution or immediately prior to (but excluding) the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be; and

OS’ = the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend or distribution or immediately after the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex Date fixed for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date for such share split or share combination. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this SECTION 9.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, or the outstanding Ordinary Shares are not split or combined, as the case may be, the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors of the Company determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, or split or combine the outstanding Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, to the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination had not been declared.

(b) In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Ordinary Shares rights, warrants or options entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date for such distribution) to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) at a price per share less than the VWAP of ADSs for the 20-trading-day period immediately preceding the declaration date of such distribution, the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:


		CR’ = CR(0) ×				OS(0) + X
		CR’ = CR(0) ×				OS(0) + Y

where,

CR(0) = the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to (but excluding) the Ex Date for such distribution;

CR’ = the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex Date for such distribution;

OS(0) = the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to (but excluding) the Ex Date for such distribution;

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

Y = the number of Ordinary Shares equal to (A) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, warrants or options divided by (B) the VWAP of ADSs for the 20-trading-day period, on a per-Ordinary Share basis, immediately preceding the Ex Date for such distribution.

Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights, warrants or options are distributed and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex Date for such distribution. The Company shall not issue any such rights, warrants or options in respect of Ordinary Shares held in treasury by the Company. To the extent that Ordinary Shares are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, warrants or options, the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights 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, warrants or options are not so issued, the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been made.

In determining whether any rights, warrants or options entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) at less than such VWAP of ADSs for the 20-trading-day period, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Ordinary Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, warrants or options 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 of the Company.

(c) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Ordinary Shares any Share Capital of the Company (other than Ordinary Shares as covered by SECTION 9.05(a) hereof), evidences of its Indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company (including securities, but excluding dividends and distributions covered by SECTION 9.05(b) or 10.05(d) and distributions described below in this SECTION 9.05(c) with respect to Spin-Offs) (any of such Share Capital, Indebtedness, or other asset or property hereinafter in this SECTION 9.05(c) called the Distributed Property), then, in each such case the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:


		CR’ = CR(0) ×				SP(0)
		CR’ = CR(0) ×				SP(0) - FMV

where,

CR(0) = the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to (but excluding) the Ex Date for such distribution;

CR’ = the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex Date for such distribution;

SP(0) = the VWAP of ADSs for the 20-trading-day period, on a per-Ordinary Share basis, immediately preceding the Ex Date for such distribution; and

FMV = the Fair Market Value of the Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding Ordinary Share on the Ex Date for such distribution.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on (but excluding) the Ex Date for such distribution; provided that if FMV as set forth above is equal to or greater than SP(0) as set forth above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder has the right to receive, for each US$1,000 principal amount of Securities, the amount of Distributed Property such holder would have received had such holder owned a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate on the record date for such distribution multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares, whether represented by ADSs, without being required to convert the Securities. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors of the Company determines FMV for purposes of this SECTION 9.05(c) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the VWAP of ADSs for the 20-trading-day period immediately preceding the Ex Date for such distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this SECTION 9.05(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Ordinary Shares in shares of any class or series, or similar equity interest, in the Share Capital of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit (a Spin-Off), the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate in effect immediately before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off shall be increased based on the following formula:


		CR’ = CR(0) ×				FMV(0) + MP(0)
		CR’ = CR(0) ×				MP(0)

where,

CR(0) = the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the tenth Trading Day immediately following the effective date of the Spin-Off;

CR’ = the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the tenth Trading Day immediately following the effective date of the Spin-Off;

FMV(0) = the Fair Market Value of the shares or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Ordinary Shares applicable to one Ordinary Share immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; and

MP(0) = the VWAP of ADSs for the 20-trading-day period, on a per-Ordinary Share basis, immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off.

Such adjustment shall occur on the tenth Trading Day from, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; provided that in respect of any conversion within the ten Trading Days immediately following, and including, the effective date of any Spin-Off, references with respect to the Spin-Off to ten Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the effective date of such Spin-Off and the Conversion Date (or interest payment date in the case of a PIK Conversion) in determining the applicable Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate.

Rights, warrants or options distributed by the Company to all holders of Ordinary Shares, entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase ADSs or shares of the Company’s Share Capital, including Ordinary Shares (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, warrants or options, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (Trigger Event): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such Ordinary Shares; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Ordinary Shares, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section (and no adjustment to the

Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate under this Section shall be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, warrants and options shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate shall be made under this SECTION 9.05(c). If any such rights, warrants or options are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, warrants or options 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, warrants or options with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights, warrants or options without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, warrants or options, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate under this SECTION 9.05(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, warrants or options that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Ordinary Shares with respect to such rights, warrants or options (assuming such holder had retained such rights, warrants or options), made to all holders of Ordinary Shares as of the date of such repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, warrants or options that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, warrants and options had not been issued.

For purposes of this SECTION 9.05(c) and SECTIONS 9.05(a) and 9.05(b), any dividend or distribution to which this SECTION 9.05(c) is applicable that also includes Ordinary Shares to which SECTION 9.05(a) applies or rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) to which SECTION 9.05(a) or 10.05(b) applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of Indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such Ordinary Shares or rights, warrants or options, to which this SECTION 9.05(c) applies (and any Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate adjustment required by this SECTION 9.05(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such Ordinary Shares or such rights, warrants or options (and any further Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate adjustment required by SECTIONS 9.05(a) and 9.05(b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Ex Date of such dividend or distribution shall under this SECTION 9.05(c) be substituted as “the Ex Date” within the meaning of SECTION 9.05(a) and SECTIONS 9.05(a) and 9.05(b) any Ordinary Shares included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding immediately prior to (but excluding) the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution or immediately prior to (but excluding) the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be” within the meaning of SECTION 9.05(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to (but excluding) the Ex Date for such distribution” within the meaning of SECTION 9.05(b).

(d) In case the Company shall pay dividends or make distributions consisting exclusively of cash to all or substantially all holders of its Ordinary Shares, the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:


		CR’ = CR(0) ×				SP(0)
		CR’ = CR(0) ×				SP(0) - C

where,

CR(0) = the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to (but excluding) the Ex Date for such distribution;

CR’ = the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex Date for such distribution;

SP(0) = the VWAP of ADSs for the 20-trading-day period immediately preceding the Ex Date for such distribution; and

C = the amount in cash per Ordinary Share distributed to the holder thereof in such distribution.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution; provided that if the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one Ordinary Share is equal to or greater than SP(0) as set forth above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall receive on the date on which such cash dividend is distributed to holders of Ordinary Shares the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder owned a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate on the Ex Date for such distribution, without being required to convert the Securities. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(e) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for all or any portion of the Ordinary Shares, whether represented by ADSs, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per Ordinary Share, exceeds the VWAP of ADSs for the 20-trading-day period, on a per-Ordinary Share basis, next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:


		CR’ = CR(0) ×				AC + (SP’ x OS’)
		CR’ = CR(0) ×				OS(0) × SP’

where,

CR(0) = the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate in effect on the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

CR’ = the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate in effect on the 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 of the Company paid or payable for the Ordinary Shares purchased (directly or in the form of ADSs) in such tender or exchange offer;

OS(0) = the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to (but excluding) the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

OS’ = the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer); and

SP’ = the VWAP of ADSs for the 20-trading-day period, on a per-Ordinary Share basis, next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after close of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires. If the Company or its Subsidiary is obligated to purchase Ordinary Shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company or its Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting all or any such purchases or all or any portion of such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made or had only been made in respect of the purchases that had been effected.

No adjustment to the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate shall be made if the application of any of the foregoing formulas (other than in connection with a share combination of Ordinary Shares) would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate.

For purposes of this SECTION 9.05, the term “Record Date” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Ordinary Shares have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Ordinary Shares (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors of the Company or by statute, contract or otherwise).

The term “Ex Date”, (i) when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the ADSs trade the regular way on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the VWAP of ADSs for the 20-trading-day period was obtained without the right to receive such issuance or distribution, (ii) when used with respect to any share split or combination of Ordinary Shares, means the first date on which the ADSs trade the regular way on such exchange or in such market after the time at which such share split or combination becomes effective, and (iii) when used with respect to any tender offer or exchange offer, means the first date on which the ADSs trade the regular way on such exchange or in such market after the expiration time of such tender offer or exchange offer (as it may be amended or extended).

(f) Without prejudice to the right of Holders, notwithstanding any adjustment of the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate pursuant to SECTION 9.05, if and whenever the Company shall make any offer, issue, grant, sale, exercise, conversion, exchange and/or modification of rights (other than as contemplated in the Schemes), the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate shall be adjusted to the lower of:

(i) the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate resulting from an adjustment pursuant to any of the foregoing provisions listed in SECTION 9.05 (if applicable); and

(ii) the Lowest Price per Share in connection with the relevant offer, issue, grant, sale, exercise, conversion, exchange and/or modification of rights,

provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustments made to the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate pursuant to this SECTION 9.05(f) shall only be downward adjustments. Such adjustment shall become effective on the date from which the relevant adjustment under SECTION 9.05 would take effect.

(g) Without prejudice to the right of Holders, any adjustment made to the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate pursuant to any of the foregoing provisions listed in this SECTION 9.05 shall only be downward adjustment on the basis of the then relevant VWAP of ADSs for the 20-trading-day period on a per-Ordinary Share basis.

(h) In any case in which this SECTION 9.05 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after (1) the Ex Date for an event or (2) the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to any tender or exchange offer under SECTION 9.05(e) (each an Adjustment Determination Date), the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of the applicable Adjustment Event (as hereinafter defined) (x) issuing to the Holder of any Security converted after such Adjustment

Determination Date and before the occurrence of such Adjustment Event, the consideration to be paid upon the conversion of any Security or other securities issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such Adjustment Event over and above the amounts deliverable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (y) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fractional Ordinary Share pursuant to SECTION 9.02(b).

For purposes of this SECTION 9.05(h), the term Adjustment Event shall mean:

(i) in any case referred to in clause (1) hereof, the date any dividend or distribution of Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs), shares of Share Capital, evidences of Indebtedness, other assets or property is paid or made, the effective date of any share split or combination or the date of expiration of any rights, warrants or options, and

(ii) in any case referred to in clause (2) hereof, the date a sale or exchange of Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) pursuant to such tender or exchange offer is consummated and becomes irrevocable.

(i) Whenever any provision of this ARTICLE IX requires a calculation of the VWAP of ADSs for the 20-trading-day period, the Company shall make appropriate adjustments to the consideration paid with respect to a Security (determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate where the Ex Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period from which such calculation is to be calculated; provided that such adjustments shall only be made to the consideration paid with respect to a Security relating to days prior to the date that the adjustment to the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate becomes effective.

(j) Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value, if any, of the Ordinary Shares, the Company shall take all corporate action which it reasonably determines may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue Ordinary Shares, whether represented by the ADSs, issuable upon conversion of the Securities at such adjusted Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate. The Company covenants that all Ordinary Shares, whether represented by the ADSs, issuable upon conversion of the Securities shall be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and changes with respect to the issue thereof.

(k) Whenever the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided:

(i) The Company shall compute the adjusted Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate in accordance with SECTION 9.05 and shall prepare a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall promptly be filed with the Trustee and with each Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee); and

(ii) Upon each such adjustment, a notice stating that the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate shall be required, such notice shall be provided by the Company to all Holders in accordance with SECTION 11.02.

Section 9.06 NO ADJUSTMENT.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in SECTION 9.05, no adjustment in the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate pursuant to SECTION 9.05 shall be required until cumulative adjustments amount to 1% or more of the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate as last adjusted (or, if never adjusted, the initial Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate); provided, however, that any adjustments to the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate which by reason of this SECTION 9.06 are

not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment to the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate. All calculations under this ARTICLE IX shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-millionth of an Ordinary Share or ADS, as the case may be.

(b) If any rights, options or warrants issued by the Company and requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate in accordance with SECTION 9.05 are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, then the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate will not be adjusted as provided in SECTION 9.05 until the earliest of such triggering event occurs. Upon the expiration or termination of any such rights, options or warrants without the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate then in effect shall be adjusted immediately to the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate that would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such rights, options or warrants, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued.

(c) No adjustment to the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate need be made pursuant to SECTION 9.05 for a transaction if Holders are to participate in the transaction without conversion on a basis and with notice that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith to be fair and appropriate in light of the basis and notice on which holders of ADSs or Ordinary Shares participate in the transaction (which determination shall be described in a Board Resolution).

(d) No adjustment to the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate need be made

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

(ii) upon the issuance of any ADSs or Ordinary Shares, or any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security to purchase ADSs or Ordinary Shares, pursuant to any future agreements entered into with the Company’s suppliers of raw materials or machinery as consideration or inducement to enter into such supply agreement;

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

(iv) upon the issuance of any ADSs or Ordinary Shares pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in SECTION 9.06(c)(iii) above and outstanding as of the date of this Indenture (unless explicitly otherwise provided for in this Section);

(v) for a change in the par value of the Ordinary Shares; or

(vi) for accrued and unpaid interest.

(e) No adjustment shall be made for the Company’s issuance of Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) or convertible or exchangeable securities or rights to purchase Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) or convertible or exchangeable securities, other than as provided in this SECTION 9.06.

(f) No adjustment shall be made for any change of the ratio relating to the number of Ordinary Shares underlying each ADS; provided that any such change of ratio shall not involve a split or combination of the Ordinary Shares or any change of par value of the Ordinary Shares.

Section 9.07 NOTICE OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS.

In the event that:

(1) the Company takes any action, or becomes aware of any event, which would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate,

(2) the Company takes any action that would require a supplemental indenture pursuant hereto, or

(3) there is a dissolution or liquidation of the Company,

the Company shall promptly mail to Holders at the addresses appearing on the Registrar’s books, and to the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Securities Agent, a written notice stating the proposed Ex Date, effective date or expiration date, as the case may be, of any transaction referred to in CLAUSE (1), (2) or (3) of this SECTION 9.07; provided, however, that failure to mail such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any transaction referred to in CLAUSE (1), (2) or (3) of this SECTION 9.07.

Section 9.08 EFFECT OF RECLASSIFICATIONS, BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS ON CONVERSION PRIVILEGE.

Unless otherwise provided herein, if any of the following shall occur, namely: (i) any reclassification or change in the Ordinary Shares, whether represented by ADSs, issuable upon conversion of Securities (other than a change only in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination of Ordinary Shares), (ii) any consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, reconstruction, amalgamation or other similar arrangement, to which the Company is a party, other than a merger in which the Company is the continuing Person and which does not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than a change in name, or par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination) in, the Ordinary Shares, or (iii) any sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Company, in each case, pursuant to which the Ordinary Shares would be converted into or exchanged for, or would constitute solely the right to receive, cash, securities or other property, then the Company or such successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Securities Agent a supplemental indenture in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Securities Agent providing that, at and after the effective time of such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, reconstruction, amalgamation or other similar arrangement, or such sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, the Holder of each Security then outstanding shall have the right to convert such Security (if otherwise convertible pursuant to this ARTICLE IX) into the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property (collectively, Reference Property) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, reconstruction, amalgamation or other similar arrangement, or such sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition by a holder of a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the product of the principal amount of such Security and the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, reconstruction, amalgamation or other similar arrangement, or such sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition in the calculation of the Reference Property receivable by such Holder. If, in the case of any such consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, reconstruction, amalgamation or other similar arrangement, or such sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, the cash, securities or other and property receivable thereupon by a holder of Ordinary Shares includes cash, securities or other property of a Person other than the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, reconstruction, amalgamation or other similar arrangement, or such sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders as the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith shall reasonably determine necessary by reason of the foregoing (which determination shall be described in a Board Resolution). The provisions of this SECTION 9.08 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, binding share exchanges, reconstruction, amalgamation or other similar arrangement, or successive sales, transfers, leases, conveyances or dispositions.

In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this SECTION 9.08, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Securities Agent an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Securities after any such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, reconstruction, amalgamation or other similar arrangement, or such sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition and any adjustment to be made with respect thereto.

Section 9.09 DISCLAIMER OF THE TRUSTEE, THE CONVERSION AGENT AND THE SECURITIES AGENT.

None of the Trustee, the Conversion Agent or the Securities Agent shall have any duty to monitor or determine when an adjustment or calculation under this ARTICLE IX should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment or calculation should be, but each may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such adjustment or calculation, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officer’s Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Securities Agent hereunder. None of the Trustee, the Conversion Agent or the Securities Agent makes any representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities, and none of them shall be responsible for the failure by the Company to comply with any provisions of this ARTICLE IX.

Within one Business Day of receipt of any Conversion Notice (other than a PIK Conversion) from the Conversion Agent, the Company will calculate whether such conversion will result in a breach of the Conversion Cap set out in SECTION 9.01(b)(ii) of this Indenture and provide an Officers’ Certificate to the Conversion Agent confirming whether the Securities have been accepted for conversion or, if the Company determines that the Conversion Cap will be breached as a result of any conversion, provide instructions to the Conversion Agent to subsequently mark up the Securities of the converting Holder(s). For the avoidance of doubt, the Conversion Agent will initially mark down the relevant Securities with respect to which a Conversion Notice has been delivered by a Holder. The Conversion Agent will not be responsible or liable to the Company or any Holder of the Securities or any other person for marking down the Securities following confirmation in writing from the Company or for failing to take any action upon non-receipt of any confirmation from the Company.

None of the Trustee, the Conversion Agent or the Securities Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to SECTION 9.09, but each of them may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness thereof, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and the Officer’s Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee and the Securities Agent pursuant to SECTION 9.09 hereof.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Conversion Agent shall have no duties in respect of a Conversion Notice after it has submitted such Conversion Notice to the Company (other than marking down the Securities accepted for conversion by the Company).

Section 9.10 RIGHTS DISTRIBUTIONS PURSUANT TO ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS.

Upon conversion of any Security or a portion thereof, to the extent the Holder thereof receives Ordinary Shares, whether represented by ADSs, upon such conversion, the Company shall make provision for such Holder to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, such Ordinary Shares any preferred shares or other securities or rights issued or distributed to holders of Ordinary Shares by the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to the anti-takeover provisions in the Company’s Articles of Association, whether or not such preferred shares, securities or rights were issued or distributed prior to the time of such conversion, but only to the extent other holders of Ordinary Shares would receive such

preferred shares or other securities or rights. In the event that, after the date hereof, the Company amends, supplements or supersedes the anti-takeover provisions in its Articles of Association to provide, or if the Board of Directors of the Company approve a resolution, for the issuance or distribution of any such preferred shares or other securities or rights to holders of Ordinary Shares, the Company shall provide that the Holders will receive, upon conversion of their Securities, in addition to the consideration otherwise payable hereunder upon such conversion, such shares, securities or rights, but only to the extent such Holder will receive Ordinary Shares upon such conversion and only to the extent other holders of Ordinary Shares would receive such preferred shares, securities or rights.

Any distribution of preferred shares, securities or rights pursuant to such anti-takeover provisions or Board Resolution will not result in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate pursuant to SECTION 9.05(b) and 10.05(c) above if the Company has made proper provision for Holders to receive, to the extent they receive Ordinary Shares upon conversion hereunder, to also receive such preferred shares, securities or rights to the same extent as other holders of Ordinary Shares.

The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above semi-annually in arrears on [—] and [—] of each year, with the first payment to be made on [—], 2015. Interest on the Securities will accrue on the principal amount from, and including, the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from, and including, the Issue Date, in each case to, but excluding, the next interest payment date or Maturity Date, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary of this PARAGRAPH 3 and to the extent that, in connection with any interest installment payment, the Company shall have elected not to pay cash for such interest installment, the Company shall PIK with respect to such interest installment payment pursuant hereto, unless the Holder shall have delivered to the Company, the Conversion Agent and the Trustee an Interest Conversion Notice after the afore-said election is made by the Company but on or prior to the fifth Business Day after the relevant interest payment date, irrevocably notifying the Company, the Conversion Agent and the Trustee that it has elected to convert PIK Securities into Ordinary Shares of ADSs on the basis of the Conversion Price at the Interest Conversion Rate, the Company shall convert or cause to be converted such Holder’s PIKed amount and issue or cause to be issued to that Holder, within five Business Days of the relevant Conversion Date, Ordinary Shares or ADSs (as applicable) on the basis of the Conversion Price at the Interest Conversion Rate (except for any cash payment in lieu of a fractional Ordinary Share or ADS which may be payable under SECTION 9.02(b) of the Indenture), subject to the provisions of SECTIONS 4.13, SECTION 9.01 and SECTION 9.02 of the Indenture (as applicable), with further

The Securities are general secured senior obligations of the Company, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture.

6.	NO OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

The Company shall have no right to redeem the Securities prior to the Maturity Date.

7.	CONVERSION.

The Securities may be surrendered for conversion into ADSs or Ordinary Shares at the election of the Holder at any time prior to (and excluding) the Maturity Date; provided, however, that the deposit of such Ordinary Shares for the issuance of ADSs by the ADS Depositary shall comply with provisions of SECTION 4.13 of the Indenture.

To convert a Security (including any PIK amount accredited as payment of any interest installment on the Security) or convert any PIKed interest installment as permitted under the Indenture, a Holder must (1) complete and manually sign a “Conversion Notice” in substantially the form attached hereto (the Conversion Notice) or an Interest Conversion Notice in substantially the form attached hereto and deliver it to the Company, the Conversion Agent and the Trustee in connection with the conversion of such Security or the PIKed interest installment, with appropriate signature guarantee, on the back of the Security or a facsimile of the Conversion Notice or Interest Conversion Notice, (2) surrender the Security, together with the delivery of the Conversion Notice or Interest Conversion Notice, which is irrevocable, to the Conversion Agent between 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. during business hours on business days in the location of the Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Trustee or Conversion Agent, (4) if required, furnish written acknowledgements, certifications and agreements in connection with the issuance of ADSs by the ADS Depositary upon deposit of the Ordinary Shares, (5) pay funds equal to interest payable by the Company on the next interest payment date if required in accordance with SECTION 9.02(d) of the Indenture, (6) pay any tax or duty as required pursuant to the Indenture or hereunder unless such is due and payable by the Company pursuant to the Indenture, and (7) pay any fees to the ADS Depositary in connection with the conversion from Ordinary Shares

to ADSs pursuant to the Deposit Agreement; provided that no Holder shall be required to convert its Ordinary Shares into ADSs. The Conversion Date with respect to a Security means the date on which the Holder of the Security has complied with each of above requirements to convert such Security.

Upon conversion of a Security by its Holder as permitted hereunder, the Company shall (subject to SECTION 9.01(b)(ii) of the Indenture), within five Business Days of the relevant Conversion Date (subject to the Conversion Cap, if applicable), deliver to the Holder Ordinary Shares or ADSs at the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate ( as applicable) on such Conversion Date or, in the case of a PIK Conversion, the relevant interest payment date (the Conversion Obligation) with an explanation in reasonable detail of the calculation of the applicable Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate; it being acknowledged and agreed that the deposit of Ordinary Shares issued by the Company hereunder for the issuance of ADSs by the ADS Depositary shall be subject to the compliance with provisions of SECTION 4.13 of the Indenture.

[A Holder may convert a portion of a Security so long as such conversion shall not require the Company to issue a fractional ADS or Ordinary Share.

The Conversion Rate for the Securities, other than the PIK Conversions, shall be as follows:

(i) 50 Ordinary Shares per US$1,000 of the principal amount of Securities, whether represented by ADSs, if such conversion occurs on or before March 31, 2015;

(ii) the number of Ordinary Shares, whether represented by ADSs, into which US$1,000 of the principal amount of Securities may be convertible at the price per Ordinary Share by referring to the VWAP of ADSs for the 20-trading-day period immediately prior to (but excluding) the date of the Conversion Notice, if such conversion occurs during the one-year period from April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016 (both dates inclusive), with the conversion limited to (A) US$62.5 million of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities during such one-year period and (B) US$20 million of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities during any rolling quarter in such one-year period, each on a first-come-first-served basis (the Conversion Cap), as follows: (A) all Conversion Notices received on the same day will be treated as having been received at the same time; and (B) in the event that the aggregate of Conversion Notices received at the same time would exceed the Conversion Cap, then the amount remaining under the Conversion Cap is allocated to each relevant Holder pro-rata on the basis of the principal amount outstanding under the Security of the converting Holder as a percentage of the aggregate of principal amount outstanding under the Securities of the all of the converting Holders on that day; it being agreed that, where the Conversion Cap has been fully exhausted, (1) the Company shall return each un-used Conversion Notice or portion thereof to the Holder with the reason noted therein for its rejection; and (2) the balance of the principal amount of the Securities shall reflect such full or partial conversion; and

[The Interest Conversion Rate for the Securities shall be the VWAP of ADSs for the 20-trading-day period immediately prior to (but excluding) the relevant interest payment date.]³

²	Not applicable for PIK Securities.

³	Applicable only for PIK Securities.

provided, that, for avoidance of doubt, (A) the principal amount of Securities at any date of conversion shall include any PIK amount that has been accredited as payments of any interest installment on such Securities and that has not previously been converted pursuant to an Interest Conversion Notice or a Conversion Notice, (B) the calculation of Ordinary Shares at any date of conversion shall take into account the then applicable ratio of Ordinary Shares to ADSs, and (C) the Interest Conversion Rate shall apply to the PIKed amount with respect to which an Interest Conversion Notice has been duly given; and (D) the Conversion Cap does not apply to PIK Conversions (E) the Conversion Rate or Interest Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment in the event of certain circumstances as specified in the Indenture, and (F) upon each conversion of a Security, the Company shall not deliver a fractional Ordinary Share or ADS, and may elect to pay cash for any fractional Ordinary Share or ADS valued to be equal to or greater than US$10 based on the VWAP of ADSs for the 20-trading-day period immediately preceding the Conversion Date or relevant interest payment date. For the avoidance of doubt, a Holder is deemed to have waived the right to receive any cash in lieu of any fractional Ordinary Share or ADS upon each conversion of a Security, if such fractional Ordinary Share or ADS is valued to be less than US$10 in accordance with the calculation in the preceding sentence.

Upon conversion, no payment or adjustment will be made for any accrued interest on a converted Security or for any dividend on Ordinary Shares deposited for the issuance of ADSs; provided that such accrued and unpaid interest to the Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full with the ADSs or Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. If any Holder surrenders a Security for conversion after the close of business on the record date for the payment of an interest installment and prior to the related interest payment date, then, notwithstanding such conversion, the interest payable with respect to such Security on such interest payment date shall be paid on such interest payment date to the Holder of record of such Security at the close of business on such record date; provided, however, that such Security, when surrendered for conversion, must be accompanied by payment in cash to specified account of the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such interest payment date on the portion so converted.

Subject to the requirements of the Clearing Systems in the case of an increase in the aggregate principal amount by the PIKed amount on such Securities represented by this Security, then the relevant increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by this Security shall be applied pro rata to each holder of a book-entry interest in such Security.

9.	DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.

The Majority Holders by written notice to the Trustee may rescind or annul an acceleration and its consequences if (A) the rescission would not conflict with any court order or decree, and (B) all existing Events of Default, except the nonpayment of principal, premium or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived.

Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Majority Holders may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture, is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability unless the Trustee is offered indemnity and/or security and/or pre-funding satisfactory to it; provided, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

Subject to SECTIONS 5.07 and 8.02 of the Indenture, the Majority Holders may, by notice to the Trustee, waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences, other than (A) a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Security or under any Guarantee, (B) a Default or Event of Default arising from a failure by the Company to perform its Conversion Obligation hereunder or under the Indenture or (C) any Default or Event of Default in respect of any provision of the Indenture or the Securities which, under SECTION 8.02 of the Indenture, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected. When a Default or an Event of Default is waived, it is cured and ceases to exist for all purposes under the Indenture and the Securities except as otherwise specified in the waiver.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing as to which the Trustee has received written notice pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, or as to which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall receive written notice, then the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 30 days after receipt of written notice unless such Default or Event of Default has been cured or waived.

The Company must deliver to the Trustee an annual compliance certificate.

The Company will pay interest on any overdue installment of principal or interest at the rate per annum of 2%.

Reference is made to the Securities issued pursuant to a certain Indenture dated as of [—], 2014 by and among the Company, the Guarantors, The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch as trustee (the Trustee), paying agent and conversion agent, The Bank of New York Mellon (Luxembourg) S.A. as transfer agent and registrar, and The Bank of New York Mellon as collateral agent. The Company issued the Securities on [—], 2014 in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) [a/an] [Amendment No. [—] to the] Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-[—]) (the Registration Statement) relating to the registration under the Securities Act of US$[—] principal amount of the Securities and Ordinary Shares of the Company, par value US$0.10 per share (the Ordinary Shares), represented by the American depositary shares (the ADSs) issuable upon conversion of the Securities being registered. The Registration Statement was declared effective by order of the SEC dated [—].

We have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the issuance of the Securities and the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement and are familiar with the Securities, the Indenture, the Registration Statement, the above-mentioned SEC order and such other documents as are necessary to render this opinion.

Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that (1) the Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act and, to our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued, (2) assuming that the Securities covered by the Registration Statement and the ADSs issuable upon conversion of such Securities are sold by a relevant Holder specified in the Registration Statement in a manner specified in the Registration Statement, such sale of the Securities and the Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs issuable upon conversion of the Securities will have been duly registered under the Securities Act, and (3) the Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

Yours truly,
