Section 2.03. Surrender and Payment. (a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint Citibank, N.A. or any other bank or trust company which shall be approved by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging for the Merger Consideration (i) certificates representing Shares (the “Certificates”) or (ii) non-certificated Shares represented by book entry (the “Uncertificated Shares”). Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of holders of Shares and ADSs, a cash amount in immediately available funds sufficient for the Exchange Agent to make payments under Sections ‎2.02(a) and ‎2.02(b) (such aggregate cash amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”), in respect of the Certificates and the Uncertificated Shares. If any Dissenting Shareholder withdraws or loses its dissenter’s rights pursuant to the Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law with respect to any Dissenting Shares, such Shares shall not be subject to ‎Section 2.09 and Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the

Exchange Fund, a cash amount in immediately available funds equal to the product of the number of such Shares for which such shareholder has lost its dissenter’s rights pursuant to the Cayman Companies Law, multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration. If for any reason following the Effective Time the cash in the Exchange Fund is insufficient to fully satisfy all of the payment obligations to be made in cash by the Exchange Agent hereunder, Parent or the Surviving Company shall promptly deposit or cause to be deposited 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. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days), Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to send to each Person who was, at the Effective Time, a registered holder of Shares entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to ‎Section 2.02(a) a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange.

(b) Each registered holder of Shares that have been cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive, upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, a check, in the amount equal to (x) the number of Shares represented by such Share Certificate or the number of Uncertificated Shares multiplied by (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration, and any Share Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be marked as cancelled. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall establish procedures with the Exchange Agent and the Depositary to ensure that (A) 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 ADSs representing the Excluded Shares) and (y) the Per ADS Merger Consideration, and (B) the Depositary will distribute the Per ADS Merger Consideration to holders of ADSs pro rata to their holdings of ADSs (other than ADSs representing the Excluded Shares) upon surrender by them of the ADSs. Pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, the ADS holders 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 the cancellation of the ADSs surrendered and distribution of the Per ADS Merger Consideration to holders of ADSs. 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 2. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger Consideration.

(c) 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 to be exchanged upon due surrender of the Share Certificate may be issued to such transferee if the Share Certificates, if any, which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such

Shares are presented to the Exchange 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.

(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares effected in the register of members of the Company. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent (except for the Excluded Shares and the Dissenting Shares), they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this ‎Article 2.

(e) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to ‎Section 2.03(a) that remains undistributed to the holders of Shares or ADSs six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Company, upon demand, and any such holder of Shares or ADSs who has not theretofore complied with this ‎Section 2.03 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Company for payment of the Merger Consideration with respect thereto, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Exchange Agent, Parent, the Surviving Company or the Depositary shall be liable to any holder of Shares for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of Shares two years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority) shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of the Surviving Company free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) As promptly as reasonably practicable after any Dissenting Shareholder has effectively withdrawn or lost their dissenter’s rights under the Cayman Companies Law, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to such Dissenting Shareholder such letter of transmittal and instructions.

(g) The Exchange Fund, pending its disbursement to the holders of the Shares, shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent; provided that no such investment or losses shall affect the amounts payable to any holder of Shares and/or Options and Parent shall promptly replace, restore or cause to be replaced or restored any funds deposited with the Exchange Agent that are lost through any investment; provided further that such investments shall be in (i) short-term direct obligations of the United States with maturities of no more than 30 days, (ii) short-term obligations which have the full faith and credit of the United States for the payment of principal and interest or (iii) short-term commercial paper rated A-1 or P-1 or better by either Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation. Any interest or other income from such investments shall be paid to and become the income of Parent and any Taxes resulting therefrom shall be paid by Parent. Except as contemplated by this ‎Section 2.03(g), the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than as specified in ‎Section 2.03(a).

(h) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by Parent or by the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount or indemnity for lost Certificate in the usual form and upon such terms as may be reasonably required by Parent or the Exchange Agent as an indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Company with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue a cheque to such Person in the amount equal to (x) the number of Shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate multiplied by (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration.

Section 2.04. Options and Restricted Shares. (a) At or immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall (i) terminate the Equity Compensation Plans, and any relevant award agreements applicable to the Equity Compensation Plans, (ii) cancel each Option that is then outstanding and unexercised, whether or not vested or exercisable and (iii) cancel each Restricted Share that is then outstanding.

(b) Each former holder of any Option, whether vested or unvested, that is cancelled at the Effective Time shall, in exchange thereof, be paid by the Surviving Company or one of its Subsidiaries, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time (without interest), a cash amount equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the Exercise Price of such Option and (ii) the number of Shares underlying such Option; provided that if the Exercise Price of any such Option is equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration, such Option shall be cancelled without any payment therefor.

(c) Each former holder of any Restricted Shares, whether vested or unvested, that were outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, in exchange for all such shares, be issued by the Surviving Company, at the Effective Time, the number of Surviving Company RS equal to such holder’s Rollover RS Portion; provided that any fractional Surviving Company RS resulting from such calculation shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. The terms and conditions of the Surviving Company RS shall otherwise remain the same as the terms and conditions of the Restricted Shares exchanged therefor.

(d) Any payment under this ‎Section 2.04 shall be subject to all applicable Taxes and tax withholding requirements, and each former holder of any Option and/or Restricted Share shall be personally responsible for the proper reporting and payment of all Taxes related to any distribution contemplated by this ‎Section 2.04.

(e) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, the Company shall deliver written notice to each holder of Options and/or Restricted Shares, informing such holder of the effect of the Merger on their Options and/or Restricted Shares. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board or the compensation committee of the Company Board, as applicable, shall pass any resolutions and take any actions which are reasonably necessary, including, if necessary, obtaining the consent of the individual holders of Options and/or Restricted Shares, or making any amendments to the

terms of the Equity Compensation Plans and/or the award agreements thereunder to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this ‎Section 2.04, including the approval and adoption of the New Equity Compensation Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision of this ‎Section 2.04, payment may be withheld in respect of any Option or Restricted Share until any such necessary consents are obtained.

Section 2.05. Adjustments. If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company shall occur, including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, share split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any share dividend thereon with a record date during such period, the Per Share Merger Consideration and the Per ADS Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs and Restricted Shares) and Options the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action.

Section 2.06. Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, each of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Company, Parent and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this ‎Article 2 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. If the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Company, Parent or the Depositary, as the case may be, so withholds amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares (including Restricted Shares), ADSs or Options in respect of which the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Company, Parent or the Depositary, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 2.07. Untraceable Shareholders. Remittances for the Per Share Merger Consideration or the Per ADS Merger Consideration, as the case may be, shall not be sent to holders of Shares or ADSs who are untraceable unless and until, except as provided below, they notify the Exchange Agent or the Depositary, as applicable, of their current contact details prior to the Effective Time. A holder of Shares or ADSs will be deemed to be untraceable if (i) such Person has no registered address in the register of members (or branch register) maintained by the Company or the Depositary, as applicable, or (ii) on the last two consecutive occasions on which a dividend has been paid by the Company a check payable to such Person either (x) has been sent to such Person and has been returned undelivered or has not been cashed, or (y) has not been 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 Company Shareholder Meeting convened to vote on the Merger has been sent to such Person and has been returned undelivered. 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.

Section 2.08. Termination of Deposit Agreement. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall provide notice to Citibank, N.A. (the “Depositary”) to terminate the deposit agreement, dated March 26, 2013, between the Company, the Depositary and all holders from time to time of ADSs issued thereunder (the “Deposit Agreement”) in accordance with its terms.

Section 2.09. Dissenting Shares. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the Cayman Companies Law, Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by shareholders who shall have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to dissent from the Merger in accordance with Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”; holders of Dissenting Shares being referred to as “Dissenting Shareholders”) shall be cancelled and the Dissenting Shareholders shall not be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration and shall instead be entitled to receive only the payment of the value of such Shares held by them determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law, except that all shares held by Dissenting Shareholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their rights to dissent from the Merger under Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law shall thereupon (i) not be deemed to be Dissenting Shares and (ii) be and be deemed to have been cancelled and converted into, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, in the manner provided in ‎Section 2.02(a).

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Applicable Law and received by the Company relating to its shareholders’ rights to dissent from the Merger and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the Cayman Companies Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

(c) In the event that any written notices of objection to the Merger are served by any shareholders of the Company pursuant to section 238(2) of the Cayman Companies Law, the Company shall serve written notice of the authorization of the Merger on such shareholders pursuant to section 238(4) of the Cayman Companies Law within five days of obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval at the Company Shareholder Meeting.

Section 6.03. No Solicitation; Other Offers. (a) General Prohibitions. Except as set forth in this ‎Section 6.03, the Company agrees that from the date hereof until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with ‎Section 10.01, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries authorize or permit any of its or their officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, consultants or other agents or advisors (“Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or take any other action to knowingly facilitate or encourage the submission of any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, furnish any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, otherwise cooperate in any way with, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort by any Third Party that is seeking to make, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) (A) fail to make, withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent the Company Board Recommendation, (B) recommend an Acquisition Proposal or take any action or make any statement inconsistent with the Company Board Recommendation or (C) fail to recommend against any Acquisition Proposal subject to

Regulation 14D under the 1934 Act in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement of such Acquisition Proposal (any of the foregoing in this clause ‎(iii), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), (iv) fail to enforce or grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (v) enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar instrument relating to an Acquisition Proposal. It is agreed that any violation of the restrictions on the Company set forth in this Section by any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be a breach of this ‎Section 6.03(a) by the Company.

(b) Exceptions. Notwithstanding ‎Section 6.03(a), at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval:

(i) the Company, directly or indirectly through advisors, agents or other intermediaries, may contact a Third Party which has made an Acquisition Proposal to clarify and understand the terms and conditions thereof and to notify such Third Party of the restriction of ‎Section 6.03(a);

(ii) the Company, directly or indirectly through advisors, agents or other intermediaries, may, acting under the direction of the Special Committee, (A) engage in negotiations or discussions with any Third Party and its Representatives that, subject to the Company’s compliance with ‎Section 6.03(a), has made after the date of this Agreement a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board (upon recommendation of the Special Committee) reasonably believes will constitute or be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, (B) furnish to such Third Party or its Representatives non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a confidentiality agreement (that includes standstill obligations) (a copy of which shall be provided for informational purposes only to Parent) with such Third Party with terms no less favorable to the Company than those set forth in ‎Section 8.06; provided that all such information (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to Parent) is provided or made available to Parent, as the case may be, prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Third Party) and (C) take any nonappealable, final action that any court of competent jurisdiction orders the Company to take;

(iii) subject to compliance with ‎Section 6.03(d), the Company Board (upon recommendation of the Special Committee) may make an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to ‎Section 10.01(d)(i) following receipt of a Superior Proposal; and

(iv) if an Intervening Event has occurred and the Company Board determines, in its good faith upon recommendation of the Special Committee, that

failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to ‎Section 10.01(d)(ii) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under the laws of Cayman Islands, the Company Board (upon recommendation of the Special Committee) may make an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to ‎Section 10.01(d)(ii),

in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses ‎(ii)-‎(iv), only if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consideration of the recommendation of the Special Committee), after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

In addition, nothing contained in this ‎Section 6.03 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from complying with its disclosure obligations under United States federal or state Law, or other applicable Laws, with regard to an Acquisition Proposal; provided 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 1934 Act shall not be deemed an Adverse Recommendation Change, so long as any action taken or statement made to so comply is consistent with this ‎Section 6.03.

(c) Required Notices. The Company Board shall not take any of the actions referred to in ‎Section 6.03(b)(iii) or ‎Section 6.03(b)(iv) unless the Company shall have delivered to Parent a prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to take such action. In addition, the Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than 48 hours) after receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any Acquisition Proposal, any written indication that a Third Party is considering making an Acquisition Proposal or any written request for information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Third Party that may be considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall provide such notice in writing and shall identify the Third Party making, and the terms and conditions of, any such Acquisition Proposal, written indication or written request. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis, of the status and material details of any such Acquisition Proposal, written indication or written request, and shall promptly (but in no event later than 48 hours after receipt) provide to Parent copies of all written materials received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that describes any terms or conditions of any Acquisition Proposal. Any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of the Company’s compliance with this ‎Section 6.03(c).

(d) “Last Look”. Further, the Company Board shall not make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Acquisition Proposal in accordance with ‎Section 6.03(b)(iii) or in response to an Intervening Event in accordance with Section 6.03(b)(iv) (or terminate this Agreement pursuant to ‎Section 10.01(d)(i) or Section 10.01(d)(ii)), unless (i) the Company promptly notifies Parent and Merger

Subsidiary, in writing (a “Last Look Notice”) at least five (5) Business Days before taking that action, of its intention to do so, describing in reasonable detail the reasons for such Adverse Recommendation Change (which notice shall specify the material terms thereof and copies of all relevant documents (other than redacted terms of financing documents) relating to any relevant Acquisition Proposal) and in the case of any Intervening Event, provide a reasonably detailed description of the Intervening Event, (ii) the Company shall have, and shall have caused its Representatives to, during the five (5) Business Day period following receipt by Parent and Merger Subsidiary of the Last Look Notice (the “Notice Period”), negotiate with Parent and Merger Subsidiary in good faith (to the extent that Parent and Merger Subsidiary desires to negotiate), to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that (A) in the case of an Acquisition Proposal that was determined to constitute a Superior Proposal, such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new written notification from the Company and a new Notice Period under this ‎Section 6.03(d) provided, however, that any new notice from the Company and any new Notice Period under this ‎Section 6.03(d) shall require only three (3)-Business-Day period), and (B) in the case of any Intervening Event, such Intervening Event would no longer require an Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with ‎Section 6.03(b)(iv), and (iii) following the end of the Notice Period, the Company Board (upon recommendation of the Special Committee) shall have determined in its good faith judgment (after having received the advice of a financial advisor of internationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel) that (A) in the case of an Acquisition Proposal that was determined to constitute a Superior Proposal, such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and (B) in the case of any Intervening Event, such Intervening Event continues to require an Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with ‎Section 6.03(b)(iv).

(e) Definition of Superior Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide, unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal of the Company and its Subsidiaries on terms that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consideration of the recommendation of the Special Committee), after considering the advice of a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel and taking into account all the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal, is more favorable from a financial point of view to the Company’s shareholders (other than holders of the Excluded Shares) than as provided hereunder (taking into account any proposal by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement pursuant to ‎Section 6.03(d) prior to the time of determination), which the Company Board determines is reasonably likely to be consummated in a timely manner and for which financing, if a cash transaction (whether in whole or in part), is then fully committed or reasonably determined to be available by the Company Board. For purposes of the definition of “Superior Proposal”, each reference to “15%” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be replaced with “50%”.

(f) Obligation to Terminate Existing Discussions. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any,

with any Third Party and its Representatives conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall promptly request that each Third Party, if any, that has executed a confidentiality agreement within the 24-month period prior to the date hereof in connection with its consideration of any Acquisition Proposal return or destroy all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (and all analyses and other materials prepared by or on behalf of such Person that contains, reflects or analyzes that information).

Section 6.04. Access to Information. From the date hereof until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with ‎Section 10.01, and subject to Applicable Law, the Company shall (i) give to the Parent and its Representatives reasonable access at reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice to the offices, properties, books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (ii) furnish to Parent and its Representatives such financial and operating data and other information as such Persons may reasonably request and (iii) instruct its employees, counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives to reasonably cooperate with Parent in its investigation; provided that the Company shall not be required to provide access to or disclose any information if such access or disclosure would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, violate any contract, Applicable Law, or give a third party the right to terminate or accelerate the rights under a contract. Any investigation pursuant to this ‎Section 6.04 shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries. No information or knowledge obtained in any investigation pursuant to this ‎Section 6.04 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Company hereunder.

Section 6.05. Resignations. To the extent requested by Parent in writing at least seven (7) Business Days prior to Closing, on or prior to Closing, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to Parent duly signed resignations, effective as of the Effective Time, of the directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries designated by Parent, which shall include a waiver of any claims against the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(b) For six years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect provisions in the Surviving Company’s memorandum and articles of association (or in such documents of any successor to the business of the Surviving Company) or in the comparable organizational documents of any Subsidiary of the Surviving Company regarding elimination of liability of directors, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses that are no less advantageous to the intended beneficiaries than the corresponding provisions in existence on the date of this Agreement.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall or, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Company as of the Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay the premium for the non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies and the Company’s existing fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, “D&O Insurance”), in each case for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies with respect to any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect, breach of duty or any matter claimed against a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by reason of him or her serving in such capacity that existed or occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions); provided that the Company shall give Parent a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of such tail policy and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent with respect thereto. If the Company or the Surviving Company for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall continue to maintain in effect, for a period of at least six years from and

(d) If Parent, the Surviving Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this ‎Section 7.02.

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, including, without limitation, ‎Article 4, ‎Article 6 and ‎Article 8 hereof, 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 without the approval or direction of the Company Board (acting with the concurrence of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee. Parent shall not have any right to (i) terminate this Agreement under Section 10.01 or (ii) claim any damage or seek any other remedy at law or in equity, in each case for any breach or inaccuracy in the representations and warranties made by the Company in Article 4 to the extent Parent has knowledge as of the date of this Agreement of such breach or inaccuracy.

provided that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this ‎Section 8.05 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong, and the arbitration shall be administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “HKIAC”) in accordance with the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force as at the date of this Agreement (the “HKIAC Rules”). The arbitration shall be decided by a tribunal of three (3) arbitrators, whose appointment shall be in accordance with the HKIAC Rules. Arbitration proceedings (including but not limited to any arbitral award rendered) shall be in English. Subject to the agreement of the tribunal, any Dispute(s) which arise subsequent to the commencement of arbitration of any existing Dispute(s), shall be resolved by the tribunal already appointed to hear the existing Dispute(s). The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and conclusive and binding upon the parties as from the date rendered. Judgment upon any award may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction over a party or any of its assets. For the purpose of the enforcement of an award, the parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of any competent court and waive any defenses to such enforcement based on lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.

Section 11.08. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed

by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

Section 11.09. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules hereto, including the Company Disclosure Schedule) constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the Transactions.

Section 11.10. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 11.11. Specific Performance. 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 Applicable Law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions in accordance with this Agreement to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. If any party brings any legal action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other party, the End Date shall automatically be extended by the amount of time during which such legal action is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days. 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 11.04(b), and/or ‎Section 11.04(c), as applicable, neither Parent and Merger Subsidiary, 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..
