(b)                                 each of the Excluded Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist without payment of any consideration or distribution therefor;

Section 2.04                             Exchange of Share Certificates, etc.

(a)                                 Paying Agent.  Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a bank or trust company selected by Parent with the Company’s prior consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for all payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and shall enter into a paying agent agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.  At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Shares (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares), cash in an amount sufficient to pay the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(a) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).  If for any reason following the Effective Time the cash in the Exchange Fund is insufficient to fully satisfy all the payment obligations to be made in cash by the Paying Agent hereunder, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause the Surviving Company to promptly deposit, cash in immediately available funds into the Exchange Fund in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount of cash required to fully satisfy such cash payment obligations.

(b)                                 Exchange Procedures.  As promptly as practicable, and in any event within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each person who was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a registered holder of Shares entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(a):  (i) a letter of transmittal which shall be in customary form for a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company, and shall specify the manner in which the delivery of the Exchange Fund to registered holders of such Shares (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall be effected and contain such other provisions as Parent and the Company may mutually agree; and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of any issued share certificates representing such Shares (the “Share Certificates”) (or affidavits and indemnities of loss in lieu of the Share Certificates as provided in Section 2.04(c)) and/or such other documents as may be required in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration.  Upon surrender of, if applicable, a Share Certificate (or affidavit and indemnity of loss in lieu of the Share Certificate as provided in Section 2.04(c)) and/or such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, each registered holder of Shares represented by such Share Certificate and each registered holder of Shares which are not represented by a Share Certificate (the “Uncertificated Shares”), but in each case excluding Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares, shall be entitled to receive, in exchange for the cancellation of such Shares, payment in the amount equal to (x) the number of Shares represented by such Share Certificate (or affidavit and indemnity of loss in lieu of the Share Certificate as provided in Section 2.04(c)) or the number of such Uncertificated Shares multiplied by (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration, and the Share Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be marked as cancelled.  Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall establish procedures with the Paying Agent and the Depositary to ensure that (A) the Paying Agent will transmit to the Depositary as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time (but in any event not later than five (5) Business Days

11

thereafter) an amount in cash in immediately available funds equal to the product of (x) the Shares held by the Depositary immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Excluded Shares) and (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration, (B) the Depositary will promptly distribute one-half of the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to each outstanding ADS to holders of ADSs (other than ADSs representing the Excluded Shares) upon surrender by such holders of the ADSs, (C) holders of ADSs who are untraceable will be determined, and ADSs held by such holders will be treated, in the same manner as holders of Shares in Section 2.04(d), (D) any funds payable to holders of ADSs unclaimed by holders of ADSs will be treated, as closely as possible, in the same manner as any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Shares pursuant to Section 2.04(g), and (E) upon termination of the Deposit Agreement (as defined below) as contemplated in Section 2.06, the Depositary will deliver to the Paying Agent any portion of funds payable to holders of ADSs as a result of the Merger which remains undistributed to holders of ADSs as of the date of such termination and the Paying Agent will thereafter pay amounts owed to holders of ADSs until termination of Exchange Fund in accordance with and subject to Section 2.04(g).  The Surviving Company will pay any applicable fees, charges and expenses of the Depositary and government charges (other than withholding taxes, if any) due to or incurred by the Depositary in connection with this distribution to holders of ADSs and the cancellation of ADSs (including any ADS cancellation or termination fees payable in accordance with the Deposit Agreement).  No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any amount payable in respect of the Shares or ADSs pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.  In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the register of members of the Company, a check for any cash payable upon due surrender of the relevant Share Certificate(s) may be paid to such transferee if the Share Certificate(s), if any, which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such Shares, are presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents reasonably required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable share transfer taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(c)                                  Lost Certificates.  If any Share Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Share Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Company or the Paying Agent, an indemnity (in customary form) or the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Company or the Paying Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Share Certificate, the Paying Agent will pay in respect of the Shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Share Certificate an amount equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of Shares represented by such Share Certificate to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(a).

(d)                                 Untraceable Shareholders.  Remittances for the Per Share Merger Consideration shall not be sent to holders of Shares who are untraceable unless and until, except as provided below, they notify the Paying Agent or the Surviving Company, as applicable, of their current contact details.  A holder of Shares will be deemed to be untraceable if (i) such person has no registered address in the register of members maintained by the Company or the security holder list maintained by the Depositary, as applicable, (ii) on the last two consecutive occasions on which a dividend has been paid by the Company a check payable to such person by the Company or the Depositary, as applicable, in respect of such dividend either (x) has been sent to such person and has been returned undelivered or has not been cashed or (y) has not been

12

sent to such person because on an earlier occasion a check for a dividend so payable has been returned undelivered, and in any such case no valid claim in respect thereof has been communicated in writing to the Company or the Depositary, as applicable, or (iii) notice of the Shareholders’ Meeting convened to vote on the Merger has been sent to such person and has been returned undelivered.  Monies due to Dissenting Shareholders and holders of Shares or ADSs who are untraceable should be returned to the Surviving Company on-demand and held in a non-interest bearing bank account for the benefit of Dissenting Shareholders and holders of Shares who are untraceable. Dissenting Shareholders and holders of Shares or ADSs who are untraceable who subsequently wish to receive any monies otherwise payable in respect of the Merger within applicable time limits or limitation periods will be advised to contact the Surviving Company.

(e)                                  Adjustments to Merger Consideration.  The Per Share Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any share split, reverse share split, share dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Shares), extraordinary cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Shares occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time and to provide holders of Shares or Company Options the same economic benefit as contemplated by this Agreement.

(f)                                   Investment of Exchange Fund.  The Exchange Fund, pending its disbursement to the holders of Shares, may be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company in (i) short-term direct obligations of the United States of America, (ii) short-term obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for the payment of principal and interest, (iii) short-term commercial paper rated the highest quality by either ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services, or (iv) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding US$1 billion, provided that no such investment or losses shall affect the amounts payable to such holders, and Parent and the Surviving Company shall promptly replace or cause to be replaced any funds deposited with the Paying Agent that are lost through any investment so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Paying Agent to pay the Merger Consideration for the holders of Shares (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares).  Earnings from investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent and the Surviving Company.  Except as contemplated by Section 2.04(b), this Section 2.04(f) and Section 2.04(g), the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(g)                                  Termination of Exchange Fund.  Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Shares for six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Company, upon demand, and any holders of Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent and the Surviving Company for the cash to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(a).  Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Shares as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of the Surviving Company free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

13

(h)                                 No Liability.  After the Effective Time, none of the Paying Agent, the Rollover Shareholders, the Sponsors, Parent or the Surviving Company shall be liable to any former holder of Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) for cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(i)                                     Withholding Rights.  Each of Parent, the Surviving Company, the Paying Agent and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of applicable Tax Law.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Company, the Paying Agent or the Depositary, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be (i) remitted by Parent, the Surviving Company, the Paying Agent or the Depositary to the applicable Governmental Authority and (ii) to the extent so remitted, treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Company, the Paying Agent or the Depositary, as the case may be.

Section 2.05                             No Transfers.

From and after the Effective Time, (a) no transfers of Shares shall be effected in the register of members of the Company, and (b) the holders of Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law.  On or after the Effective Time, any Share Certificates presented to the Paying Agent, Parent or Surviving Company for transfer or any other reason shall be canceled (except for the Excluded Shares and the Dissenting Shares) in exchange for the right to receive the cash consideration to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(a).

Section 2.06                             Termination of Deposit Agreement.

As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall provide notice to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Depositary”) to terminate the deposit agreement, dated April 8, 2014 between the Company, the Depositary and all holders from time to time of ADSs issued thereunder (the “Deposit Agreement”) in accordance with its terms and this Agreement; provided that this termination shall have no effect on the obligations and procedures established with the Depositary pursuant to Section 2.04(b) with respect to receipt and payment of the Merger Consideration to the holders of ADSs.

(b)           All information provided or made available pursuant to this Section 6.03 to Parent or its Representatives shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement.

(c)           No investigation pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall affect any representation or warranty in this Agreement of any party hereto or any condition to the obligations of the parties hereto.

Section 6.04          No Solicitation of Transactions.

(a)           The Company agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries will, and that it will direct its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives (including, without limitation, any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by any Group Company), not to, in each case, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or intentionally encourage (including by way of furnishing nonpublic information in a manner designed to intentionally encourage) any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer (including any proposal or offer to its shareholders) regarding a Competing Transaction, or (ii) enter into, maintain or continue discussions or negotiations with, or provide any nonpublic information relating to the Company or the Transactions to, any person in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain a proposal or offer for a Competing Transaction, or (iii) agree to, approve, endorse or recommend any Competing Transaction or enter into any letter of intent or Contract or commitment contemplating or otherwise relating to any Competing Transaction (in each case, other than as permitted pursuant to Section 6.04(b) or Section 6.04(c)) (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”), or (iv) authorize any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, acting directly or indirectly under the direction of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to take any action set forth in clauses (i)—(iii) of this Section 6.04(a).  The Company shall not release any Third Party from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it is a party in respect of any Competing Transaction unless it releases or waives the corresponding provision in the Confidentiality Agreement.  The Company shall notify Parent as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 48 hours after the Company has knowledge thereof), orally and in

43

writing, of any proposal or offer regarding a Competing Transaction, specifying (x) the material terms and conditions thereof (including material amendments or proposed material amendments) and providing, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements, (y) the identity of the party making such proposal or offer and (z) whether the Company has at such time any intention to provide confidential information to such person.  The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a reasonably current basis (and in any event within 48 hours of the occurrence of any material changes, developments, discussions or negotiations) of the status and terms of any such proposal or offer.  The Company shall provide Parent with forty-eight (48) hours prior notice (or such lesser prior notice as is provided to the members of the Company Board or members of the Special Committee) of any meeting of the Company Board or Special Committee at which the Company Board or Special Committee, as applicable, is scheduled to consider any Competing Transaction.  The Company immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to a Competing Transaction, and the Company shall immediately revoke or withdraw access of any Third Party to any data room containing any non-public information with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries and request, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause, all such Third Parties to promptly return or destroy all such non-public information.

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.04, the Company Board or the Special Committee may, directly or indirectly through the Company’s Representatives, with respect to any unsolicited, written, bona fide proposal or offer regarding a Competing Transaction (provided that such proposal or offer was not initiated or solicited in violation of Section 6.04(a) other than immaterial non-compliance that does not adversely affect Parent or Merger Sub) (i) contact and engage in discussions with any person who has made such proposal or offer solely for the purpose of clarifying and understanding the terms and conditions thereof and assessing whether such proposal or offer constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, which actions shall not be deemed to violate Section 6.04(a) and (ii) furnish information to, and enter into discussions with, a person who has made such proposal or offer but, solely with respect to this clause (ii), only if the Company Board, upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, or the Special Committee, has (A) determined, in its good faith judgment (after consultation with its financial advisor and independent legal counsel), that such proposal or offer constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, (B) determined, in its good faith judgment (after consultation with independent legal counsel), that, in light of such proposal or offer, failure to furnish such information or enter into discussions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Company and its shareholders under applicable Law, and (C) obtained from such person an executed confidentiality agreement on terms no less favorable to the Company in the aggregate than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreements (it being understood that the Company may enter into a confidentiality agreement without a standstill provision or with other terms that are less favorable to the Company than the Confidentiality Agreement if it waives or similarly modifies the standstill provision and such other terms, as applicable, in the Confidentiality Agreement); provided that the Company shall concurrently make available to Parent any material information concerning the Company and the Subsidiaries that is provided to any such person and that was not previously made available to Parent or its Representatives.

44

(c)           Except as permitted under this Section 6.04(c), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, in each case, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Recommendation (a “Change in the Company Recommendation”), (ii) approve or recommend, or cause or permit the Company to enter into any letter of intent, agreement or obligation with respect to, any Competing Transaction (other than a confidentiality agreement permitted under Section 6.04(b)), or (iii) if a tender offer or exchange offer that constitutes a Competing Transaction is commenced, fail to recommend against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by the Company shareholders within ten (10) Business Days after commencement thereof; provided that a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board or the Special Committee to shareholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act or a statement that the Company Board or the Special Committee has received and is currently evaluating such Competing Transaction shall not be deemed to be a Change in the Company Recommendation or violate this Section 6.04.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company Board determines, in its good faith judgment upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, prior to the receipt of the Requisite Company Vote and upon advice by independent legal counsel, that failure to make a Change in the Company Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Company and its shareholders under applicable Law, the Company Board may, upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, (A) effect a Change in the Company Recommendation and/or (B) in connection with a Superior Proposal, (1) authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.03(c), (2) approve or recommend such Superior Proposal and/or (3) immediately prior to or concurrently with the termination of this Agreement, authorize the Company to enter into or execute any Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, but solely in the case of this clause (B), such action will be permitted hereunder only (i) if the Company shall have complied with the requirements of Sections 6.04(a) and 6.04(b) with respect to such proposal or offer (other than immaterial non-compliance that does not adversely affect Parent or Merger Sub); (ii) after (x) providing at least five (5) Business Days’ written notice to Parent (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) advising Parent that the Company Board has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and identifying the person making such Superior Proposal and indicating that the Company Board intends to effect a Change in the Company Recommendation or take any other action described in this clause (B), it being understood that the Notice of Superior Proposal or any amendment or update thereto or the determination to so deliver such notice shall not constitute a Change in the Company Recommendation, (y) negotiating with and directing its financial and legal advisors to negotiate with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement, so that such Third Party proposal or offer would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (z) permitting Parent and its Representatives to make a presentation to the Company Board and the Special Committee regarding this Agreement and any adjustments with respect thereto (to the extent Parent desires to make such presentation); provided that any material modifications to such Third Party proposal or offer that the Company Board has determined to be a Superior Proposal shall be deemed a new Superior Proposal and the Company shall be required to again comply with the requirements of this Section 6.04; and (iii) if Parent does not, within five (5) Business Days of Parent’s receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal, make an offer that the Company Board determines, in its good faith judgment upon the recommendation of the Special Committee (after

45

consultation with its financial advisor and independent legal counsel) to be at least as favorable to the Company’s shareholders as such Superior Proposal.

(d)           A “Competing Transaction” means any of the following (other than the Transactions):  (i) any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, scheme of arrangement, amalgamation, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company or to which 20% or more of the total revenue of the Company are attributable; (ii) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of assets or businesses that constitute or represent 20% or more of the total revenue or consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (iii) any sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of 20% or more of the total voting power of the equity securities of the Company; or (iv) any tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in any person beneficially owning 20% or more of the total voting power of the equity securities of the Company.

(e)           A “Superior Proposal” means an unsolicited, written, bona fide offer or proposal with respect to a Competing Transaction (provided that, for purposes of the definition of “Superior Proposal”, each reference to “20%” in the definition of “Competing Transaction” shall be replaced with “50%”) made by a Third Party that the Company Board determines, in its good faith judgment upon the recommendation of the Special Committee after (x) consultation with its financial advisor and independent legal counsel, and (y) taking into consideration, among other things, all of the terms and conditions, including all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects, of such offer and this Agreement (in each case taking into account any revisions to this Agreement made or proposed in writing by Parent pursuant to Section 6.04(c) or otherwise prior to the time of determination), (i) would be reasonably likely to be consummated and (ii) if consummated, would result in a transaction which is more favorable to the Company and its shareholders than the Merger from a financial point of view; provided, however, that any such offer shall not be deemed to be a “Superior Proposal” if the consummation of the transaction contemplated by such offer is conditional upon (A) any due diligence review or investigation of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries by the Third Party or (B) the Third Party obtaining financing for such transaction; provided further, that any such offer from a Third Party that individually proposed or participated in any consortium in proposing any Competing Transaction to the Company prior to the date hereof shall not be deemed to be a “Superior Proposal” unless it is a binding offer from such Third Party.

(f)            Nothing contained in this Section 6.04 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Company, the Company Board or the Special Committee from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable Law, including (A) disclosure of factual information regarding the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries or (B) taking and disclosing to the Company’s shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to shareholders in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer), or (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act.

46

Section 6.05          Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a)           The indemnification, advancement and exculpation provisions of the indemnification agreements by and among the Company and its directors and certain executive officers as in effect at the Effective Time shall survive the Merger and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the current or former directors or officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  The memorandum and articles of association of the Surviving Company shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation and indemnification or advancement of expenses than are set forth in the memorandum and articles of association of the Company as in effect on the date hereof, and Parent shall cause such provisions not to be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of the Company, unless such modification shall be required by Law.  From and after the Effective Time, any agreement of any Indemnified Party with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regarding exculpation or indemnification or advancement of expenses shall be assumed by the Surviving Company, shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

(b)           The Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, maintain in effect for six (6) years from the Effective Time, the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, including acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions (the parties covered thereby, the “Indemnified Parties”); provided, however, that the Surviving Company may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the Indemnified Parties than those provided under the Company’s current policies, and provided, further, that in no event shall the Surviving Company be required to expend pursuant to this Section 6.05(b) more than an amount per year equal to 300% of current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance, and if the cost of such insurance policy exceeds such amount, then the Surviving Company shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage for a cost not exceeding such amount.  In addition, the Company may and, at Parent’s request, the Company shall, purchase a six (6)-year “tail” prepaid policy prior to the Effective Time on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties than the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company.  If such “tail” prepaid policies have been obtained by the Company prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the respective obligations thereunder, and all other obligations of Parent or Surviving Company under this Section 6.05(b) shall terminate.

(c)           Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.05, from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall comply, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to comply, with all of the Company’s obligations, and each of the Surviving Company and Parent shall cause its Subsidiaries to comply with their respective obligations to indemnify and hold harmless (including any obligations to advance funds for expenses) the present and former officers and directors thereof against any and all costs or expenses (including reasonable

47

attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, Action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of, relating to or in connection with (i) the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company or such Subsidiary or (ii) any acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to or at the Effective Time (including acts or omissions with respect to the approval of this Agreement or the Transactions or arising out of or pertaining to the Transactions and Actions to enforce this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any Indemnified Party), to the extent provided under the Company’s or such Subsidiaries’ respective organizational and governing documents or agreements in effect on the date hereof and to the fullest extent permitted by the CICL or any other applicable Law, including the approval of this Agreement, the Transactions or arising out of or pertaining to the Transactions and Actions to enforce this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right or any such person, provided that such indemnification shall be subject to any limitation imposed from time to time under applicable Law.

(d)           In the event the Company or the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, or at Parent’s option, Parent, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.05.

(e)           The agreements and covenants contained in this Section 6.05 shall be in addition to any other rights an Indemnified Party may have under the memorandum and articles of association of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or equivalent constitutional documents), or any agreement between an Indemnified Party and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, under the CICL or other applicable Law, or otherwise.  The provisions of this Section 6.05 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their heirs and legal representatives, each of which shall be a third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 6.05.  The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Company under this Section 6.05 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Party without the consent of such Indemnified Party.

(f)            Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.05 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under any such policies.

Section 6.06          Notification of Certain Matters.

Each of the Company and Parent shall promptly notify the other in writing of:

48

(a)                                 any material notice or other material communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions;

(b)                                 any Actions commenced or, to the knowledge of the Company or the knowledge of Parent, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parent and any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, that relate to or would be reasonably expected to impact such person’s ability to consummate the Transactions; and

(c)                                  if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of such person set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause the conditions set forth in Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 7.03 not to be satisfied;

Section 6.07                             Financing.

(a)                                 Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the applicable Equity Commitment Letters, including by (i) maintaining in effect, without amendment, supplement, modification or waiver, each of the Equity Commitment Letters, (ii) satisfying on a timely basis all conditions to the closing of and funding under the applicable Equity Commitment Letters applicable to Parent and Merger Sub that are within their control, (iii) consummating the Financing contemplated by each of the applicable Equity Commitment Letters at or prior to the Closing and prior to the Effective Time, and (iv) enforcing the parties’ funding obligations (and the rights of Parent and Merger Sub) under each of the applicable Equity Commitment Letters to the extent necessary to fund the Merger Consideration. If any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated by the applicable Equity Commitment Letters, (x) Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly notify the Company in writing and (y) Parent and Merger Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event alternative debt financing and/or equity financing on terms and conditions not materially less favorable, in the aggregate, from the standpoint of the Company than the terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable Equity Commitment Letters as in effect on the date hereof (the “Alternative Financing”), in each case so long as (i) the aggregate proceeds of the Financing (as amended or modified) and any Alternative Financing (if applicable), will be sufficient for Merger Sub and the Surviving Company to pay the Merger Consideration and any other amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the Transactions upon the terms and conditions contemplated hereby and (ii) such amendment or modification or such Alternative Financing (A) does not impose new or additional conditions compared to those in each of the applicable Equity Commitment Letters as in effect on the date hereof, (B) would not prevent or materially delay the consummation of the

49

Transactions or materially impair the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions and (C) does not involve any change, terms or conditions that would adversely impact the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to enforce their rights against the providers of the Financing or Alternative Financing.  If Parent becomes aware of the existence of any fact or event that would reasonably be expected to cause any portion of the Financing to become unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letters in effect on the date hereof, Parent and Merger Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to either cure or eliminate such fact or event, or to arrange and obtain Alternative Financing.  Parent shall deliver to the Company as promptly as practicable (and no later than three (3) Business Days) after such execution, true and complete copies of all Contracts or other arrangements pursuant to which any such alternative sources have committed to provide such Alternative Financing.

(b)                                 Without limiting the generality of Section 6.07(a), Parent and Merger Sub shall give the Company prompt notice in writing:  (i) of any material breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) by any party to any Equity Commitment Letter, which would be reasonably likely to result in any condition of such Equity Commitment Letter not to be satisfied or the termination of any Equity Commitment Letter, of which Parent or Merger Sub becomes aware; (ii) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any party to any Equity Commitment Letter with respect to any alleged or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to such Equity Commitment Letter or any provisions of such Equity Commitment Letter which could result in any condition of such Equity Commitment Letter not to be satisfied or the termination of such Equity Commitment Letter; (iii) of any material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Equity Commitment Letter; and (iv) if Parent or Merger Sub at any time believes that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by each of the Equity Commitment Letters.  As soon as reasonably practicable after the date the Company delivers to Parent or Merger Sub a written request therefor, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide written notice of the circumstance referred to in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the immediately preceding sentence.

(c)                                  Parent and Merger Sub shall on a joint and several basis (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and/or Alternative Financing (including any action taken in accordance with this Section 6.07(c)) and any information utilized in connection therewith and (ii) promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all documented and reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with this Section 6.07(c); provided that Parent and Merger Sub shall not be liable to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives for any such liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments or penalties to the extent resulting from the fraud of such indemnifiable persons.

(a)                                 Subject to Section 9.08(b), the parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof by the parties, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for such damages.  Accordingly, subject to Section 9.08(b), the parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that in the event of any breach by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent or Merger Sub, on the other hand, of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Company, on the one hand, or Parent or Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall, subject to Section 8.06, be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof (including the obligation of the parties to consummate the Merger, subject in each case to the terms and conditions of this Agreement), including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by any party, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to obtain an injunction or injunctions, or other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, in each case, to cause Parent and Merger Sub to cause the Financing to be funded at any time, but only in the event that each of the following conditions has been satisfied (i) all conditions in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) have been satisfied or waived, (ii) Parent and Merger Sub fail to complete the Closing by the date the

73

Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 1.02, and (iii) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing that, if specific performance is granted and the Financing (or, if applicable, Alternative Financing) is funded, then the Company is ready, willing and able to take all actions within its control to consummate the Closing.

(c)                                  Each party waives (i) any defenses in any Action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate and (ii) any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby agree that the parties hereto may pursue both a grant of specific performance and the payment of the amounts set forth in Section 8.06, provided that (x) neither Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, nor the Company, on the other hand, shall be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that results in a Closing and payment of such amounts, and (y) upon termination of this Agreement and the payment of such amounts, the remedy of specific performance shall not be available against the party making such payment and, if such party is Parent or Merger Sub, any other member of the Parent Group or, if such party is the Company, any other member of the Company Group.

(d)                                 The Company shall act at the direction of the Special Committee with respect to any exercise of its rights to seek specific performance or other relief under this Section 9.08 against Parent and/or Merger Sub.

(b)                                 Subject to Section 9.08 and the last sentence of this Section 9.09(b), any disputes, actions and proceedings against any party or arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) and resolved in accordance with the arbitration rules of HKIAC in force at the relevant time and as may be amended by this Section 9.09. The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The official language of the arbitration shall be English and the arbitration tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators (each, an “Arbitrator”).

74

Arbitrator shall be appointed promptly by the HKIAC. The arbitration tribunal shall have no authority to award punitive or other punitive-type damages.

Section 9.11                             Waiver.

At any time prior to the Effective Time, any party hereto may by action taken (i) in the case of Parent and Merger Sub, by or on behalf of their respective boards of directors and (ii) in the case of the Company, by or on behalf of the Company Board acting upon the direction or recommendation of the Special Committee, (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of any other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any agreement of any other party or any condition to its own obligations contained herein.  Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby.  No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
