CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 2.1 Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any of the parties hereto or any other shareholders of the Company:

(a) Securities of Merger Sub. Each ordinary share, par value US$1.00 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable ordinary share, par value US$0.0059 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Such ordinary shares shall be the only issued and outstanding shares of the Surviving Corporation, which fact will be reflected in the register of members of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Merger Consideration. Each ordinary share, par value US$0.0059 per share, of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (individually, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) (other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(c) and any Dissenters Shares), shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive an amount in cash equal to US$4.15 per Share without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all of the Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist and the register of members of the Company will be updated accordingly. Each Share (other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(c) and any Dissenters Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration without interest, and any Dissenters Shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable payments due and owing as referred to in Section 2.6.

(c) Cancellation of Shares. Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is beneficially owned (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by (i) Parent, Merger Sub or the Company as treasury shares (if applicable) or (ii) any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of its holder, automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

-3-

(d) Untraceable and Dissenting Shareholders. 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) notice of the Company Shareholders Meeting has been sent to such shareholder and has been returned undelivered. Monies due to holders of Dissenters Shares and shareholders of the Company who are untraceable shall be returned to the Surviving Corporation on demand and held in a non-interest bearing bank account for the benefit of the holders of Dissenters 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 Dissenters 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.

(e) Certain Adjustments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article II to the contrary, if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of the occurrence or record date of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction.

SECTION 2.2 Treatment of Company Options. (a) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company (or, as applicable, the Company Board or the Compensation Committee of the Company Board) shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary (including using its reasonable efforts to obtain any applicable consents and/or amendments) to effect the following provisions of this Section 2.2. The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to ensure that from and after the Effective Time neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation will be required to issue Shares or any other consideration (other than as required by this Section 2.2) to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of Company Options.

(b) As of the Effective Time, each option to purchase Shares (a “Company Option”) pursuant to the Company’s 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Company Option Plan”) that is then outstanding, vested and unexercised (a “Vested Company Option”) shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, a cash amount equal to (i) the total number of Shares subject to such Vested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of (x) the Merger Consideration over (y) the exercise price payable per Share issuable under such Vested Company Option. To the extent such Vested Company Option’s exercise price is higher than the Merger Consideration, the holder of such Vested Company Option will receive no payment. As of the Effective Time, each Company Option that is then outstanding and unvested (an “Unvested Company Option”) shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, a restricted cash award (“RCA”) in an amount equal to (i) the total number of Shares subject to such Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of (x) the Merger Consideration over (y) the exercise price payable per Share issuable under such Unvested Company Option. To the extent such Unvested Company Option’s exercise price is higher than the Merger Consideration, the holder of such Unvested Company Option will receive no payment. RCAs shall be subject to the same vesting conditions and vesting schedules applicable to the Unvested Company Options without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein and unvested RCAs are not transferable by means of sale, assignment, exchange, pledge or otherwise. On the date, and to the extent, that the Unvested Company Options would have become vested without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein, such corresponding portion of the RCAs shall be converted into US dollars and will be delivered to the holder of such RCAs, net of any applicable withholding taxes, as soon as practicable thereafter. The holder of the RCAs is personally responsible for the proper reporting and payment of all taxes related to the distribution.

(c) As provided herein, unless otherwise determined by Parent, the Company Option Plan shall terminate as of the Effective Time.

SECTION 2.3 Exchange Fund. (a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company, with the Company’s prior approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), to act as exchange agent hereunder for the purpose of cancelling the Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration (the “Exchange Agent”). Parent shall enter into a paying agent agreement with the Paying Agent, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent.

(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 and Vested Company Options an amount in cash sufficient to make payments under Section 2.1(b), Section 2.2 and Section 2.6 (in the case of payments under Section 2.6, an amount equal to the number of Dissenters Shares multiplied by the Merger Consideration). Any cash deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” Any amounts in the Exchange Fund in excess of the aggregate amounts payable under Article II shall be returned to the Surviving Corporation in accordance with Section 2.7.

SECTION 2.4 Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within five business days thereafter), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each registered holder of Shares (other than holders of Excluded Shares or Dissenters Shares) (i) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form for a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company and specify how the delivery of the 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 Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or declaration of loss or non-receipt and, if applicable, indemnity in the required form and in compliance with Section 2.10) 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 Merger Consideration, without interest, for each Share formerly represented by such Certificate or Uncertificated Share, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. If payment of the 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 in proper form for transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the 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. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.4, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II, without interest.

SECTION 2.5 Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights. The 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 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 2.6, if, at any time after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

SECTION 2.6 Dissenting Shares. No Person who has validly exercised such Person’s appraisal rights pursuant to Section 179 of the BVI Companies Law shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to the Shares owned by such Person (“Dissenters Shares”) unless and until such Person shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such Person’s appraisal rights under the BVI Companies Law. If a holder of Dissenters Shares effectively withdraws its demand for, or loses its rights to, appraisal rights pursuant to Section 179 of the BVI Companies Law with respect to any Dissenters Shares, such Shares shall cease to be Dissenters Shares. Each Dissenters Share shall be entitled to receive only the payment resulting from the procedure in Section 179 of the BVI Companies Law. The Company shall promptly give Parent (i) copies of notices of objection, notices of dissent, any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law that are received by the Company relating to Company shareholders’ rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to direct or approve all offers, negotiations and proceedings with respect to demand for appraisal under the BVI Companies Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

SECTION 2.7 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 Shares (other than the Excluded Shares and the Dissenters 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 the Dissenters Shares) who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation and Parent (subject to this Agreement and abandoned property, escheat and similar laws) for the Merger Consideration exchangeable for such Shares to which such holder is entitled, without any interest on any portion thereof. 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 2.8 No Liability. None of the Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Merger Consideration from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

SECTION 2.9 Investment of the Exchange Funds. Pending distribution to the holders of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenters Shares), the Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent on a daily basis; provided that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-l or P-I or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in money market funds having a rating in the highest investment category granted by a recognized credit rating agency at the time of investment. 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 Section 2.1(b), Section 2.2 and Section 2.6 (in the case of payments under Section 2.6, an amount equal to the number of Dissenters Shares multiplied by the Merger Consideration) shall be returned to the Parent in accordance with Section 2.7. 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 Section 2.1(b), Section 2.2 and Section 2.6 (in the case of payments under Section 2.6, an amount equal to the number of Dissenters Shares multiplied by the 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 Section 2.1(b), Section 2.2 and Section 2.6 (in the case of payments under Section 2.6, an amount equal to the number of Dissenters Shares multiplied by the Merger Consideration). Except as contemplated by Section 2.9 hereof, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

SECTION 2.10 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 or by the Exchange Agent, an indemnity or the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent 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 Merger Consideration with respect to the Shares formerly represented thereby pursuant to this Agreement.

Each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the 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 provision of U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Government Authority by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or Exchange Agent, 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 in respect to which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.12 Agreement of Fair Value. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company respectively agree that the Merger Consideration represents the fair value of the Shares for the purposes of Section 179 of the BVI Companies Law.

The Company will provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review, comment on and approve (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) the initial Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto prior to filing with the SEC and will provide Parent with a copy of all such filings with the SEC. If at any time prior to the Effective Time, any information relating to the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, should be discovered by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that such document 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 party and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be disseminated to the shareholders of the Company to the extent required by Law.

SECTION 6.2 Acquisition Proposals. (a) The Company will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, nor will it authorize or permit any officer, director or employee of or any investment banker, attorney, accountant or other advisor or representative (each, a “Representative”) of, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage any inquiry or the making of any proposal or offer or any other effort or attempt that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (as hereinafter defined), (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, or take any other action to facilitate, any Acquisition Proposal or (iii) enter into any letter of intent, agreement or agreement in principle with respect to an Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, if, at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to the time that, but not after, the Required Company Vote is obtained, the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal from any Person that did not result from a breach by the Company of this Section 6.2, (A) 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 (as hereinafter defined) and (B) if the Special Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with and based upon the advice of its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal and that such Acquisition Proposal has a reasonable prospect of success (taking into consideration (i) whether Company has been notified by Parent that Parent would oppose or support such Acquisition Proposal and (ii) whether such Acquisition Proposal is reasonably likely to be approved in light of such opposition or support), then the Company and its Representatives may (x) furnish, pursuant to an executed confidentiality agreement in reasonably customary form, information (including non-public information) with respect to the Company to the Person who has made such Acquisition Proposal, (y) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal or (z) after having complied with Section 6.2(b), approve, recommend, or otherwise declare advisable or propose to approve, recommend or declare advisable (publicly or otherwise) such an Acquisition Proposal. The parties acknowledge that, until such time as Parent notifies the Company in writing that it is willing to support a third party’s Acquisition Proposal, (i) Parent intends to oppose any such Acquisition Proposal and does not intend to sell any of Parent’s shares of the Company to any such third party, (ii) by virtue of such opposition, any such Acquisition Proposal, if placed before the Company’s shareholders for approval, would fail to receive a majority vote in favor of approval and (iii) any such Acquisition Proposal therefore lacks a reasonable prospect of success.

(b) The Company Board will not (i) change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the recommendation to the shareholders of the Company to vote in favor of this Agreement and the Merger (the “Company Board Recommendation”) (actions described in this clause (i) referred to as a “Change of Recommendation”) or (ii) except immediately prior to or concurrently with the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.3(c), authorize, cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, agreement, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or other agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 6.2(a) entered into in compliance with Section 6.2(a) (each, an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, prior to the time the Required Company Vote is obtained, but not after, the Company Board may effect a Change of Recommendation if the Company Board (acting upon recommendation of the Special Committee) has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that prior to taking such action, (i) the Company Board has given Parent at least ten business days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action and a description of the reasons for taking such action, (ii) the Company has negotiated, or has caused its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Parent during such notice period, to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate, to enable Parent to revise the terms of this Agreement and (iii) following the end of such notice period, the Company Board (acting upon recommendation of the Special Committee) shall have considered in good faith any revisions to this Agreement, if applicable, proposed in writing by Parent in a manner that would form a binding contract if accepted by the Company, and shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that failure to effect a Change of Recommendation would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

-26-

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 6.2 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, including taking and disclosing to the Company’s shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to shareholders in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer).

(d) The Company agrees that it will, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within 24 hours), notify Parent and Merger Sub if any Acquisition Proposal or any request for non-public information is received by the Company Board, indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person, the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal and if the Company has any intention to provide non-public information to such Person; and will as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within 24 hours) advise Parent and Merger Sub of any material amendments, developments, discussions or negotiations with respect to any such Acquisition Proposal or request.

SECTION 6.3 Shareholders Meeting. Subject to Article VIII, the Company shall take, in accordance with applicable Law and its memorandum and articles of association, all actions necessary to cause an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders (the “Company Shareholders Meeting”) to be duly called and held as soon as reasonably practicable after the SEC confirms that it has no further comments on the Schedule 13E-3 and Proxy Statement. Subject to Section 6.2, the Company Board shall (a) recommend approval of this Agreement, the BVI Plan of Merger and the Merger by the Company’s shareholders and include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement and (b) take all reasonable and lawful actions to solicit proxies from its shareholders to obtain the Required Company Vote for such approval.

SECTION 6.4 Reasonable Efforts. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party will use its reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws promptly to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including preparing, executing and filing promptly all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings and to obtain promptly all consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party and/or Governmental Entity in order to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, to the extent applicable, each party hereto agrees to promptly provide to each relevant Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over enforcement of any applicable antitrust or competition Laws (“Governmental Antitrust Entity”) non-privileged information and documents (i) requested by any Governmental Antitrust Entity or (ii) that are necessary, proper or advisable to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and use its reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all other actions necessary, proper or advisable consistent with this Section 6.4 to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods, or receipt of required authorizations, as applicable, under all applicable antitrust Laws as soon as practicable.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in Sections 6.4(a), each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to resolve such objections if any, as may be asserted any applicable Governmental Entity or other person with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby under any antitrust Law.

SECTION 6.5 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. Thereafter, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, each of Parent and the Company will consult with one another before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Merger, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to obtaining the approval of such other party (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as may be required by 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, as determined by Parent or the Company, as the case may be.

SECTION 6.6 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance. (a) From and after the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation agrees that it will (and will cause its Subsidiaries to comply with their respective obligations to) indemnify and hold harmless (including any obligations to advance funds for expenses) 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 and all 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’ good faith service as a director, officer or employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries or services performed by such persons at the request of the Company or its Subsidiaries at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with (i) the approval of this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) actions to enforce this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any Indemnified Party. The indemnification, advancement and exculpation provisions of certain indemnification agreements by and among the Company and its directors and certain executive officers, as in effect on the date hereof shall survive the Merger and shall 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. The Articles of Association will contain provisions with respect to exculpation and indemnification that are at least as favorable to the directors, officers or employees of the Company as those contained in the memorandum and articles of association of the Company as in effect on the date hereof, except to the extent prohibited by the BVI Companies Law or any other 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 Law.

-28-

(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 litigation, claim or proceeding relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 6.6 (each, a “Claim”) 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 litigation, claim or proceeding relating to the Transactions), but in any event, no such Claim shall be settled or compromised without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that none of Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any such Claim 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 Claim or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents in writing to such settlement, compromise or consent. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate in the defense of any Claim and shall provide access to properties and individuals as reasonably requested and furnish or cause to be furnished records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

(c) For a period of six (6) 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 (including for acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) for the benefit of each Indemnified Party covering each Indemnified Party by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof; 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 300 percent of the current annual premium paid by the Company for such insurance (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 6.6(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.

-29-

(d) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.6.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.6 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their heirs and legal representatives, each of which shall be a third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 6.6.

(f) The agreements and covenants contained in this Section 6.6 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, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.6 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under any such policies.

The Company shall, upon obtaining knowledge of any of the following, give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall, upon obtaining knowledge of any of the following, give prompt notice to the Company, of (i) the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event the occurrence or nonoccurrence of which would be likely to cause any representation or warranty of such party contained in this Agreement, which is qualified as to materiality, to be untrue or inaccurate, or any representation or warranty of such party not so qualified, to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, at or prior to the Effective Time, (ii) any material failure of the Company or Parent, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder, (iii) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would be likely to cause any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the transactions contemplated hereby not to be satisfied, (iv) any notice of, or other communication relating to, a default or event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default, received by it or any of its Subsidiaries subsequent to the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, under any contract or agreement material to the financial condition, properties, businesses, results of operations or prospects of it and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, (v) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger, (vi) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or other proceedings (or communications indicating that the same may be contemplated) commenced or threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which, in each case, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to Section 3.9 or 3.13 or which relate to the consummation of the Merger, (vii) any notice or other communication from any third party alleging that the consent of such third party is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (viii) any event or occurrence that has, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect with respect to it; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall not cure such breach or non-compliance or limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.
