For the avoidance of doubt, if the exercise price payable per Share issuable under any Company Option is greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration, such Company Option will be cancelled for no payment.

At the Effective Time, all of the Company RSs and Company RSUs, except for the Company RSs and Company RSUs that are included in the Consortium Shares, shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and the holders thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Surviving Corporation, net of any applicable withholding Taxes and as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, cash in an amount equal to the product of (A) the number of the Company RSs, or Shares or ADSs then subject to the Company RSUs, as the case may be, multiplied by (B) the Per Share Merger Consideration or the Per ADS Merger Consideration, as applicable. At the Effective Time, the Company RSs and Company RSUs that are included in the Consortium Shares shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor, as provided in Section 2.1(c) ..

(iii) Unless otherwise determined by Parent, all Company Option Plans shall terminate as of the Effective Time.

Section 2.2 Exchange Fund. (a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company, with the Company's prior approval, to act as exchange agent hereunder for the purpose of exchanging Shares and ADSs for the Merger Consideration (the "Exchange Agent").

(b) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Shares, ADSs and Company Options an amount in cash sufficient to make payments under Sections 2.1(b) (Merger

Consideration), 2.1(e) (Treatment of Company Options and Restricted Shares) and 2.3(f) (Dissenting Shares) (in the case of Section 2.3(f) (Dissenting Shares), an amount equal to the number of Dissenting Shares multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration). Any cash deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.2(b) shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Exchange Fund." Section 2.3 Exchange Procedures. (a) Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within (x) five Business Days in the case of registered members and (y) three Business Days in the case of the depositary trust company on behalf of beneficial holders holding through brokers, nominees, custodians or through a third-party), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail (or in the case of depository trust company, deliver) or otherwise disseminate to each registered holder of Shares (other than holders of Excluded Shares) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form for a Cayman Islands incorporated company specifying how the delivery of the Per Share Merger Consideration to the registered holders of the Shares shall be effected; and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of any and all share certificates which have been issued representing Shares (the "Certificates") in exchange for the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration.

(b) Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss and indemnity in the required form) to the Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, each holder of such Certificate and each registered holder of Shares not represented by a Certificate ("Uncertificated Shares") shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Per Share Merger Consideration for each Share formerly represented by such Certificate or Uncertificated Share, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

(c) If payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that (A) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be accompanied by a proper form of transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate surrendered and shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable.

(d) Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.3 (Exchange Procedures), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II (Delivery of Merger Consideration), without interest.

(e) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall establish procedures with the Exchange Agent and the Depositary to ensure that (i) the Exchange Agent will transmit to the Depositary promptly following the Effective Time an amount in cash in immediately available funds equal to the product of (x) the number of ADSs issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the ADSs representing the Excluded Shares) and (y) the Per ADS Merger Consideration and (ii) the Depositary will

distribute the aggregate amount of the Per ADS Merger Consideration to holders of ADSs pro rata to their holdings of ADSs upon surrender by them of the ADSs. Pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, each holder of ADSs 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 distribution of the Per ADS Merger Consideration to ADS holders.

(f) Dissenting Shares. No Person who has validly exercised such Person's appraisal rights pursuant to Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law shall be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to the Shares owned by such Person ("Dissenting Shares") unless and until such Person shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such Person's appraisal rights under the Cayman Companies Law. Each Dissenting Share shall be entitled to receive only the payment resulting from the procedure in Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law.

Remittances for the Merger Consideration shall not be sent to shareholders who are untraceable unless and until, except as provided below, they notify the Exchange Agent of their current contact details prior to the Effective Time. A Company shareholder will be deemed to be untraceable if (i) he has no registered address in the register of members (or branch register) maintained by the Company or, (ii) on the last two consecutive occasions on which a dividend has been paid by the Company a check payable to such shareholder either (A) has been sent to such shareholder and has been returned undelivered or has not been cashed or, (B) has not been sent to such shareholder 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, (iii) notice of the Company Shareholders Meeting has been sent to such shareholder and has been returned undelivered.

(h) In the event that monies due to holders of Dissenting Shares and shareholders of the Company who are untraceable exceed US$2,000,000, such monies and any monies which are returned shall be held by the Surviving Corporation in a separate non-interest bearing bank account for the benefit of holders of Dissenting Shares and shareholders of the Company who are untraceable. Monies unclaimed after a period of seven years from the date of the notice of the Company Shareholders Meeting shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Surviving Corporation. It is acknowledged that holders of Dissenting Shares and shareholders of the Company who are untraceable who, after the Effective Time, wish to receive any monies

otherwise payable in respect of the Merger within applicable time limits or limitation periods will be advised by the Exchange Agent, Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, to contact the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.4 Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights. The Per Share Merger Consideration and the Per ADS Merger Consideration paid in respect of the Shares upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or for Uncertificated Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II (Delivery of Merger Consideration) shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares previously represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares, and at the Effective Time, the register of members of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the register of members of the Surviving Corporation of Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates or Uncertificated Shares that evidenced ownership of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.3(f) (Dissenting Shares), if, at any time after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the cash amount in immediately available funds to which the holder of such Certificates is entitled pursuant to this Article II (Delivery of Merger Consideration).

Section 2.5 Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any income or proceeds thereof or of any investments thereof) which remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates (other than the Excluded Shares) for nine months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation on the instruction of the Surviving Corporation, and any holder of Shares (other than the Excluded Shares) and ADSs who has not theretofore complied with this Article II (Delivery of Merger Consideration) shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to this Agreement and abandoned property, escheat and similar Laws) for the cash to which such holders are entitled under this Article II (Delivery of Merger Consideration). Any such portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by such holders of Shares at such time as time at which amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation or its designee, free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 2.6 No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Depositary, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Per Share Merger Consideration from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

Section 2.7 Investment of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; provided, that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall become a part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the aggregate amounts payable under Sections 2.1(b) (Merger Consideration), 2.1(e) (Treatment of Company Options and Restricted Shares) and 2.3(f) (Dissenting Shares) (in the case of payments under Section 2.3(f) (Dissenting Shares), an amount

equal to the number of Dissenting Shares multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration) shall be returned to the Surviving Corporation in accordance with Section 2.5 (Termination of Exchange Fund). To the extent that there are any losses with respect to any such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Exchange Agent to make prompt cash payment under Sections 2.1(b) (Merger Consideration), 2.1(e) (Treatment of Company Options and Restricted Shares) and 2.3(f) (Dissenting Shares) (in the case of payments under Section 2.3(f) (Dissenting Shares), an amount equal to the number of Dissenting Shares multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Exchange Agent to make such payments under Sections 2.1(b) (Merger Consideration), 2.1(e) (Treatment of Company Options and Restricted Shares) and 2.3(f) (Dissenting Shares) (in the case of payments under Section 2.3(f) (Dissenting Shares), an amount equal to the number of Dissenting Shares multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration).

Section 2.8 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit or declaration of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, an indemnity or the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to the Shares formerly represented thereby pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.9 Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Exchange Agent and the Depositary, without double counting, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it reasonably determines is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provisions of applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted, withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity by the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Exchange Agent or the Depositary, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares, ADSs or Company Options in respect to which such deduction and withholding was made by Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Exchange Agent or the Depositary, as the case may be.

Section 2.10 Agreement of Fair Value. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company respectively agree that the Per Share Merger Consideration represents the fair value of the Shares for the purposes of Section 238(8) of the Cayman Companies Law.

Section 2.11 Termination of Deposit Agreement. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall provide notice to the Depositary to terminate the Deposit Agreement in accordance with its terms.

The Company shall not make any filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Schedule 13E-3 without providing Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall cause the Schedule 13E-3 to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff regarding the Schedule 13E-3. Each Party agrees to notify the other Parties of any comments (and to provide the other Parties and their respective counsel with copies of any written comments) that such Party or its counsel may receive from the staff of the SEC regarding the Schedule 13E-3 promptly after receipt thereof. If at any time prior to the Effective Time, the Company, Parent or Merger Sub discovers any information relating to the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Schedule 13E-3, so that the Schedule 13E-3 would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the Party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be disseminated to the shareholders of the Company to the extent required by Law.

(b) As promptly as practicable after the SEC confirms that it has no further comments on the Schedule 13E-3, the Company shall mail the Proxy Statement and all other proxy materials to the shareholders of the Company and, if necessary in order to comply with applicable Laws, after the Proxy Statement shall have been so mailed, promptly circulate amended, supplemental or supplemented proxy material, and, if required in connection therewith, re-solicit proxies.

Section 6.2 Company Shareholders Meeting.(a)As promptly as reasonably practicable after the SEC confirms that it has no further comments on the Schedule 13E-3 (including the Proxy Statement filed therewith as an exhibit), the Company shall take, in accordance with applicable Laws and its memorandum and articles of association, all action necessary to call, give notice of, and convene an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders (the "Company Shareholders Meeting"); provided, that the Company may postpone or adjourn the Company Shareholders Meeting, (i) with the consent of Parent, (ii) if at the time the Company Shareholders Meeting proceeds to business there are insufficient Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the Company Shareholders Meeting, or (iii) to allow reasonable time for the filing and mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure which the Company Board has determined in good faith is necessary under applicable Laws and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the Company's shareholders prior to the Company Shareholders Meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that subsequent to the date hereof, the Company Board makes a Change of Recommendation and/or authorizes the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.4(d), the Company shall not be required to convene the Company Shareholders Meeting and submit this Agreement to the holders of the Shares for approval.

(b) The Company shall establish a record date for purposes of determining shareholders entitled to notice of and vote at the Company Shareholders Meeting.

(b) Parent's and Merger Sub's Confidentiality Obligation. Each of Parent and Merger Sub will hold and will cause its Representatives to hold in confidence all documents and information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries furnished to Parent or Merger Sub in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to the terms of

that certain confidentiality agreement entered into between the Company and CPEChina Fund, L.P. dated October 8, 2012 as if it were a party thereto (the "Confidentiality Agreement").

Section 6.4 No Solicitation of Transactions. (a) The Company will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, nor will it authorize or permit any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to facilitate, any Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) enter into any letter of intent, agreement or agreement in principle with respect to an Acquisition Proposal. Immediately after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and their respective Representatives to, cease and terminate any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any possible Acquisition Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, an "Acquisition Proposal" means any inquiry, proposal or offer by any Person regarding any of the following (other than the transactions contemplated hereby): (i) a merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, business combination, scheme of arrangement, amalgamation, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries whose business constitutes 20% or more of the net revenue, net income, or fair market value of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole); (ii) any sale, lease, license, exchange, transfer, other disposition, or joint venture, that would result in any Person (other than Parent and its Affiliates) acquiring assets or business of the Company and its Subsidiaries that constitute or represent 20% or more of the net revenue, net income, or fair market value of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (iii) any sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of 20% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company; or (iv) any tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in any Person (other than Parent and its Affiliates) beneficially owning 20% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.4(a) to the contrary, after the date hereof and prior to the time the Company Shareholder Approval is obtained, but not after, if the Company receives an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal from any Person that did not result from a breach by the Company of this Section 6.4 (No Solicitation of Transactions) and that has not been withdrawn, (i) the Company and its Representatives may contact such Person to clarify the terms and conditions thereof so as to determine whether such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal and (ii) if the Company Board has determined, in its good faith judgment, upon the recommendation of the Independent Committee (after consultation with its financial advisor and independent legal counsel), that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, then the Company and its Representatives may (x) furnish information (including non-public information) with respect to the Company to the Person who has made such Acquisition Proposal and (y) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal; provided, that the Company shall (1) notify Parent of any Acquisition Proposal (including, without limitation, all material terms and conditions thereof and the identity of the Person making it) promptly (but in no case later than 48 hours) after its receipt thereof, and shall provide Parent with a copy of any written

Acquisition Proposal or amendments or supplements thereto, and shall thereafter inform Parent on a reasonably current basis of the status of any inquiries, discussions or negotiations with such third party, and any material changes to the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, (2) obtain from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement (a copy of which shall be promptly delivered to Parent following its execution) containing terms at least as restrictive with respect to such Person in all material respects as the terms contained in the Confidentiality Agreement are with respect to Parent, and (3) promptly give Parent a copy of any information delivered to such Person that was not previously provided to Parent. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Superior Proposal" means a bona fide Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board determines, in its good faith judgment upon the recommendation of the Independent Committee (after consultation with its financial advisor and independent legal counsel), to be (i) more favorable, from a financial point of view, to the Company and the Company's shareholders (other than holders of the Consortium Shares) than the transactions contemplated hereby (including any revisions to the terms of this Agreement made or proposed in writing by Parent pursuant to Section 6.4(d) prior to the time of determination), and (ii) reasonably likely to be consummated, after taking into consideration all legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the Acquisition Proposal and the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal, provided, that for purposes of the definition of "Superior Proposal", each reference to "20%" in the definition of "Acquisition Proposal" shall be replaced with "50%".

(c) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.4 (No Solicitation of Transactions), neither the Company Board nor the Independent Committee shall (i) fail to recommend that shareholders of the Company vote in favor of this Agreement and the Merger (the "Company Board Recommendation") or fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (ii) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Board Recommendation (any action described in this clause (ii), a "Change of Recommendation") or (iii) (A) adopt, approve or recommend, or propose to adopt, approve or recommend, to the shareholders of the Company any Acquisition Proposal (any action described in this clause (iii)(A), a "Company Adverse Recommendation Change"), or (B) authorize, cause or permit the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to enter into any (x) letter of intent, agreement or agreement in principle with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or (y) definitive acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar definitive agreement relating to any Acquisition Proposal (any agreement referred to in this clause (y), an "Alternative Acquisition Agreement").

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.4 (No Solicitation of Transactions) to the contrary, prior to the time the Company Shareholder Approval is obtained, but not after, if the Company Board determines, in its good faith judgment upon the recommendation of the Independent Committee (upon advice by independent legal counsel), that failure to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.3(c) and enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Company Board may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.3(c) and enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement; provided, that (i) any such action is in response to the receipt of an Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board has determined, in its good faith judgment upon the recommendation of the Independent Committee (after consultation with its financial advisor and

independent legal counsel), is a Superior Proposal and the Company shall not have violated in any material respect the requirements of this Section 6.4 (No Solicitation of Transactions) with respect to such Acquisition Proposal; (ii) the Company has (A) provided at least five (5) Business Days' (the "Negotiation Period") prior written notice to Parent (a "Notice of Superior Proposal") advising Parent that the Company Board has received a Superior Proposal (which notice shall include the identity of the third party making the Superior Proposal and a description of the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and of any financing materials related thereto) and indicating that the Company Board intends to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.3(c) and enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement, and (B) during the Negotiation Period, the Company has negotiated with, and caused its Representatives 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 and/or the terms of the Financing Documents, so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal; (iii) following the end of the Negotiation Period, the Company Board determines, in its good faith judgment upon the recommendation of the Independent Committee (after consultation with its financial advisor and independent legal counsel), that the Acquisition Proposal giving rise to the Notice of Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal; provided, that any material modifications to such Acquisition Proposal 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 6.4(d) .

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.4 (No Solicitation of Transactions) to the contrary, prior to the time the Company Shareholder Approval is obtained, but not after, if the Company Board determines, in its good faith judgment upon the recommendation of the Independent Committee (upon advice by independent legal counsel), other than in response to or in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, that failure to make a Change of Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Company Board may effect a Change of Recommendation; provided, that the Company has (i) (A) provided Parent at least five (5) Business Days' prior written notice indicating that the Company Board intends to effect a Change of Recommendation and terminate this Agreement, which notice shall specify the basis for such Change of Recommendation, and (B) negotiated with, and caused its Representatives 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 and/or the terms of the Financing Documents in such a manner that would obviate the need for taking such action; and (ii) following the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Company Board determines, in its good faith judgment upon the recommendation of the Independent Committee (after consultation with its financial advisor and independent legal counsel), that such adjustments proposed by Parent pursuant to the foregoing clause (i)(B) would not obviate the need for a Change of Recommendation and/or termination of this Agreement.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 6.4 (No Solicitation of Transactions) shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from complying with its disclosure obligations under federal or state Laws of the United States of America, or other applicable Laws, with regard to an Acquisition Proposal; provided, that making such disclosure shall not in any way limit or modify the effect, if any, that any such action has under this Section 6.4 (No

Solicitation of Transactions); provided, further, that if such disclosure includes a Change of Recommendation or Company Adverse Recommendation Change, Parent shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 8.4(b) (it being understood that a statement by the Company that describes the Company's receipt of an Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto, or any "stop, look or listen" communication that contains only the information set forth in Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, shall not constitute a Change of Recommendation or Company Adverse Recommendation Change).

Section 6.5 Reasonable Best Efforts. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Party shall (i) make promptly its respective filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, with each relevant Governmental Entity with jurisdiction over enforcement of any applicable Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and coordinate and cooperate fully with the other Parties in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other Parties may reasonably request in connection therewith (including, without limitation, (x) notifying the other Parties promptly of any communication (whether verbal or written) it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Entity in connection with such filings or submissions, (y) permitting the other Parties to review in advance, and consulting with the other Parties on, any proposed filing, submission or communication (whether verbal or written) by such Party to any Governmental Entity, and (z) giving the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate at any meeting with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filing, investigation or other inquiry); and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws or otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, employing such resources as are necessary to obtain the regulatory approvals. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each Party shall cause its respective proper officers and directors to use their reasonable best efforts to take all such action.

(b) Each Party shall, upon request by any other Party, furnish such other Party with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Proxy Statement, the Schedule 13E-3, or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) Each Party agrees to cooperate and use its reasonable best efforts to vigorously contest and resist any Proceeding, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that is in effect and that restricts, prevents or prohibits consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including by vigorously pursuing all available avenues of administrative and judicial appeal.

Section 6.6 Public Announcements.The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by Parent and the Company.

attribution), making any other public statement or scheduling any press conference or conference call with investors or analysts with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the Merger, and, except in respect of any such press release, communication, other public statement, press conference or conference call as may be required by applicable Law, applicable fiduciary duties or by any applicable listing agreement with or rules of a national securities exchange or interdealer quotation service or by the request of any Governmental Entity, shall not issue any such press release, have any such communication, make any such other public statement or schedule any such press conference or conference call prior to such consultation.

Section 6.7 Indemnification; Directors' and Officers' Insurance. (a) From and after the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless each individual who at the Effective Time is, or at any time prior to the Effective Time was, a director or officer of the Company or its Subsidiary (the "Indemnified Parties") against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or related to such Indemnified Parties' service as a director or officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with (i) the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) actions to enforce this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any Indemnified Party. The Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company and the governing documents of the Company's Subsidiaries will contain provisions with respect to exculpation and indemnification that are at least as favorable to the directors, officers or employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries as those contained in the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and the governing documents of its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date hereof, except to the extent prohibited by the applicable Law, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnified Parties, unless such modification is required by applicable Law.

(b) Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume and control the defense of any threatened or actual Proceeding relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 6.7 (Indemnification; Directors' and Officers' Insurance) unless there is a conflict of interest between Parent and the Surviving Corporation, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other (for the avoidance of doubt, conflict of interest shall be deemed to exist in the event of any threatened or actual Proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated hereby); provided, that none of Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any such Proceeding for which indemnification has been sought by an Indemnified Party hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Proceeding or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents in writing to such settlement, compromise or consent.

(c) For a period of six years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain the Company's and its Subsidiaries' existing policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance for the benefit of those persons who are covered by such policies at the Effective Time (or Parent may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time), to the extent that such liability insurance can be maintained at a cost to Parent not greater than 300 percent of the annual premium (such 300 percent threshold, the "Maximum Premium") for the current Company directors' and officers' liability insurance; provided, that if such insurance cannot be so maintained or obtained at such costs, Parent shall maintain or obtain as much of such insurance as can be so maintained or obtained at an annual premium amount not in excess of the Maximum Premium. The Company may prior to the Effective Time at its option purchase, for an amount not to exceed the aggregate Maximum Premium for six years, a six year "tail policy" on terms and conditions providing substantially equivalent benefits as the existing policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by the Company. If such prepaid "tail policy" has been obtained by the Company prior to the Closing, it shall be deemed to satisfy all obligations to obtain insurance pursuant to this Section 6.7(c) and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the respective obligations thereunder.

(f) The agreements and covenants contained in this Section 6.7 (Indemnification; Directors' and Officers' Insurance) shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any such Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, nor shall it be construed to, 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 current or former officers and directors, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.7 (Indemnification; Directors' and Officers' Insurance) is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under any such policies.

favorable, in the aggregate, to the Company than those contained in the Debt Financing Document, in an amount sufficient to consummate the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the "Alternate Debt Financing"), and to enter into new definitive agreements with respect to such Alternate Debt Financing (the "New Debt Financing Documents"). For purposes of the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub shall, upon the request of the Company, execute such New Debt Financing Documents or arrange for such Alternate Debt Financing; provided, that the terms and conditions thereof are not materially less favorable to the Company, in the aggregate, than those included in the Debt Financing Document that such New Debt Financing Documents are replacing. In the event any New Debt Financing Document is entered into, (A) any reference in this Agreement to the "Financing" or "Debt Financing" shall mean the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Financing Document as modified pursuant to clause (B) below and (B) any reference in this Agreement to the "Financing Document" or "Debt Financing Document" shall be deemed to include the Debt Financing Document that is not superseded by a New Debt Financing Document at the time in question and the New Debt Financing Document to the extent then in effect.

Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall keep the Company informed of all the material steps for arranging the Company Cash Backup Financing, if applicable, and provide to the Company copies of the Company Cash Backup Financing Documents. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall agree to or permit any amendments or modification to, or grant any waivers of, any condition or other

provision under the Company Cash Backup Financing Documents without prior consent of the Company.

(d) Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall agree to or permit any amendments or modifications to, or grant any waivers of, any condition or other provision under the Financing Documents without the prior written consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such amendments, modifications or waivers would (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing (unless the Equity Financing or Debt Financing, as the case may be, is increased by an amount corresponding to such reduction) or (ii) impose new or additional conditions that would reasonably be expected to (A) have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect or (B) adversely impact the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Financing Documents. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall release or consent to the termination of the obligations of any of the Lenders or CPEChina Fund L.P under the Financing Documents.

(e) Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining or availability of the Financing or any Alternate Debt Financing shall not be a condition to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Closing, and reaffirms its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement irrespective and independently of the availability of the Financing or any Alternate Debt Financing, subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Article VII (Conditions to Consummation of the Merger), the breach of which obligation will give rise to the remedies set forth in Article VIII (Termination; Amendment; Waiver) or Section 9.8 (Specific Performance), as applicable.

(f) Parent shall, prior to the Closing, (i) give the Company prompt notice of any breach or threatened breach by any party to the Financing Documents or Company Cash Backup Financing Documents, of which Parent or Merger Sub becomes aware, or any termination thereof, and (ii) otherwise keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of Parent's and Merger Sub's efforts to arrange the Financing or any Alternate Debt Financing or Company Cash Backup Financing.

(h) Company's Reasonable Cooperation with Financing.

(i) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to, at Parent's sole expense, provide to Parent and Merger Sub such cooperation reasonably requested by Parent that is necessary in connection with the Financing (provided that such requested cooperation is consistent with applicable Law

and does not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries), including (A) participation in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations and due diligence sessions, (B) as promptly as reasonably practical, furnishing to Parent and its Financing sources with financial and other information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by Parent, (C) entering into such agreements and arrangements as reasonably required by the Financing sources, including agreements to pledge, guarantee, grant security interests in, and otherwise grant Liens on, the Company's assets and (D) using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at Parent's sole expense, customary legal opinions and other documentation and items relating to the Financing as reasonably requested by Parent.

(ii) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required, under the provisions of this Section 6.14 (Financing) or otherwise, in connection with any Financing or Company Cash Backup Financing, (A) to pay any commitment or other similar fee prior to the Effective Time, (B) to incur any expense unless such expense is reimbursed by Parent promptly after incurrence thereof or (C) to commit to take any action that is not contingent upon the Closing (including the entry into any agreement) or that would be effective prior to the Effective time or that would otherwise subject it to actual or potential liability in connection with any Financing or Company Cash Backup Financing. Parent shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with (A) any action taken by them at the request of Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Section 6.14 (Financing) or in connection with the arrangement of any Financing or Company Cash Backup Financing or (B) any information utilized in connection therewith (other than information provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries). Nothing contained in this Section 6.14 (Financing) or otherwise shall require the Company to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to any Financing or Company Cash Backup Financing prior to the Effective Time.

(iii) All material, non-public information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries provided to Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Representatives pursuant to this Section 6.14 (Financing) shall be kept confidential by them in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 6.16 Management. Except as expressly provided in the Voting Agreement or the Rollover Agreement on the date hereof, in no event shall Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates enter into or seek to enter into any arrangements that are effective prior to the Closing with any member of the Company's management or any other Company employee that contain any terms that prohibit or restrict such member of management or such employee from discussing, negotiating or entering into any arrangements with any third party in connection with an Acquisition Proposal.

Section 6.17 Actions Taken at Direction of Parent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be deemed to be in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder, if the alleged breach is the proximate result of action or inaction taken by the Company at the direction of any officer or director of Parent, including Dr. Jing Lou or Mr. ▇▇ ▇▇▇, without the approval of the Independent Committee.

(c) In the event that the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.3(a) or (b), then, Parent shall (x) pay or cause to be paid to the Company a termination fee in an amount equal to US$6,000,000 (the "Parent Termination Fee"), and (y) reimburse the Company as promptly as possible (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) following the delivery by the Company of an invoice therefor, all Expenses, up to a maximum of US$1,000,000, incurred by the Company and its Affiliates (other than Parent and Merger Sub) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case, by wire transfer of same day funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by the Company. In the event the Company shall receive the full payment of the Parent Termination Fee and Expenses pursuant to this Section 8.5(c), the receipt of such Parent Termination Fee and Expenses shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by the Company or any other Person arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Financing Documents, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (and the abandonment or termination hereof or thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and neither the Company nor any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any Proceeding against any Parent Related Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Financing Documents, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (and the abandonment or termination hereof or thereof) or any matters forming the basis for such termination; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.5(c) shall limit the Company’s rights under Section 9.8 (Specific Performance). For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 9.8 (Specific Performance), the right of the Company and its designees to receive payment from Parent of the Parent Termination Fee and Expenses referred to in this Section 8.5(c) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company Related Parties against the Parent Related Parties for any loss or damage suffered or incurred arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Financing Documents, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (and the abandonment or termination hereof or thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and upon payment of such amounts, none of the Parent Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Financing Documents, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (and the abandonment or termination hereof or thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination. The provisions of this Section 8.5(c) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Parent Related Party.

(d) In the event that the Company shall fail to pay the Company Termination Fee and the Expenses of Parent, or Parent shall fail to pay the Parent Termination Fee and the Expenses of the Company, when due and in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, the Company or Parent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the other Party for all costs and expenses actually incurred or accrued by the other Party (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with the collection under and enforcement of this Section 8.5 (Effect of Termination and Abandonment), together with interest on such unpaid Company Termination Fee or Parent Termination Fee, as the case may be, or unpaid Expenses, commencing on the date that such overdue amount was originally required to be paid and ending on the date that such overdue amount is actually paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to 5% plus the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was

required to be made. Such collection expenses shall not otherwise diminish in any way the payment obligations hereunder.

(e) Each Party acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 8.5 (Effect of Termination and Abandonment) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the damages resulting from termination of this Agreement under circumstances where a Company Termination Fee or Parent Termination Fee is payable are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation and therefore, the amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.5(b) or Section 8.5(c) are not a penalty but rather constitute liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent or the Company, as the case may be, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) without the agreements contained in this Section 8.5 (Effect of Termination and Abandonment), the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement.

Section 8.6 Amendment. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the Parties may modify or amend this Agreement, with the approval of the boards of directors of the Parties at any time; provided, however, that (a) in the case of the Company, each of the Company Board and Independent Committee have approved such amendment in writing, and (b) after approval of this Agreement by the shareholders of the Company, no amendment shall be made which changes the Merger Consideration or adversely affects the rights of the Company's shareholders hereunder or is otherwise required under any applicable Law to be approved by such shareholders without, in each case, the approval of such shareholders.

Section 8.7 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, any Party may, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Parties contained in this Agreement, or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions of the other Parties contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that after the Company Shareholder Approval has been obtained, no waiver may be made that pursuant to applicable Law requires further approval by the shareholders of the Company without such further approval having been obtained. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such Party, but such extension or waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

Section 9.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York excluding (to the greatest extent a New York court would permit) any rule of law that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if any provision of this Agreement with specific reference to the Laws of the Cayman Islands shall be subject to the Laws of the Cayman Islands, the Laws of the Cayman Islands shall supersede the Laws of the State of New York with respect to such provision, and (ii) matters relating to the fiduciary duties of the Company Board and internal corporate affairs of the Company shall be governed by the Laws of the Cayman Islands.

(b) The Parties agree that any Proceeding brought by any Party to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in any federal or state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York. Each of the Parties submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any Proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably waives the benefit of jurisdiction derived from present or future domicile or otherwise in such Proceeding. Each Party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such Proceeding in any such court or that any such Proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(c) EACH OF PARENT, MERGER SUB AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS OR INSTRUMENTS REFERRED TO IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, OR THE ACTIONS OF PARENT, MERGER SUB OR THE COMPANY IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 9.5 Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 9.6 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly set forth in Sections 6.7 (Indemnification; Directors' and Officers' Insurance) and 8.5 (Effect of Termination and Abandonment), this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.7 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the

application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.8 Specific Performance.

(a) Subject to Section 9.8(c), in the event the Company or its designees shall receive from Parent (i) the Parent Termination Fee, (ii) Expenses pursuant to Section 8.5(c), and (iii) any reimbursement of costs and expenses that are payable pursuant to Sections 8.5(d) or 6.14(h), the receipt of such fees and expenses shall be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at Law, in equity, in Contract, in tort or otherwise) of any Company Related Party against the Parent Related Parties, for any loss or damage suffered as a result of any such breach or failure to perform hereunder or other failure of the Merger to be consummated (in each case, whether willfully, intentionally, unintentionally or otherwise). For the avoidance of doubt, neither Parent nor any other Parent Related Parties shall have any liability for, and none of the Company Related Parties shall seek, or permit to be sought from the Parent Related Parties, monetary damages of any kind or nature or arising in any circumstance in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby other than the payment of the amounts set forth in the first sentence of this Section 9.8(a) .

(b) Subject to Section 9.8(c), in the event Parent or its designees shall receive from the Company (i) the Company Termination Fee, (ii) Expenses pursuant to Section 8.5(b), and (iii) any reimbursement of costs and expenses that are payable pursuant to Section 8.5(d), the receipt of such fees and expenses shall be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at Law, in equity, in Contract, in tort or otherwise) of any Parent Related Party against the Company Related Parties, for any loss or damage suffered as a result of any such breach or failure to perform hereunder or other failure of the Merger to be consummated (in each case, whether willfully, intentionally, unintentionally or otherwise). For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Company nor any other Company Related Parties shall have any liability for, and none of the Parent Related Parties shall seek, or permit to be sought from the Company Related Parties, monetary damages of any kind or nature or arising in any circumstance in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby other than the payment of the amounts set forth in the first sentence of this Section 9.8(b) .

(c) The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by the Parties. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement against the breaching Party or Parties, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions in accordance with this Agreement to prevent breaches of this Agreement or the

Equity Financing Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Equity Financing Documents shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. If any Party brings any Proceeding to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other Party or of the Equity Financing Documents by any party thereto, the Termination Date shall automatically be extended by the amount of time during which such Proceeding is pending, plus 20 Business Days. Without limiting the forgoing provisions of this Section 9.8(c), the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be entitled to obtain an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to (i) enforce Parent’s obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded, if (A) all of the conditions to closing contained in Sections 7.1 (Conditions to Each Party’s Obligations to Effect the Merger) and 7.2 (Conditions to Obligations of Parent and Merger Sub) have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing (but subject to their satisfaction or waiver by the Party having the benefit thereof)), (B) the Debt Financing (or, if applicable, Alternate Debt Financing) has been funded or will be funded in accordance with the Debt Financing Document (or, if applicable, the New Debt Financing Documents) at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing, (C) the Company has delivered to Parent an irrevocable commitment in writing that it would be ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing if the Debt Financing and Equity Financing are funded, and (D) Parent and Merger Sub fail to complete the Closing in accordance with Section 1.2 (Closing of the Merger); and (ii) enforce the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in Section 6.14 (Financing). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) while the Parties may pursue both a grant of specific performance and the payment of the amounts set forth in Section 9.8(a) or Section 9.8(b), as applicable, 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 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 Parent Related Parties or, if such Party is the Company, any other Company Related Parties.

Section 9.9 Attorneys' Fees. In any action at law or suit in equity to enforce this Agreement or the rights of any of the Parties hereunder, the prevailing Party in such action or suit shall be entitled to receive a reasonable sum for its attorneys' fees and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in such action or suit.

Section 9.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties.

Section 9.11 Interpretation. (a) The words "hereof," "herein" and "herewith" and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and article, section, paragraph, exhibit and schedule references are to the articles, sections, paragraphs, exhibits and schedules of this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns.

(b) The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.
