There is no infringement by third parties of any such Intellectual Property; there is no pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others challenging the Company's or any Subsidiary's rights in or to any such Intellectual Property, and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim; and there is no pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others that the Company or any Subsidiary infringes or otherwise violates any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary rights of others, and the Company is unaware of any other fact which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim. (ll) The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as the Company reasonably considers adequate for the conduct of its business and the value of its properties and as is customary for companies engaged in similar businesses in similar industries, all of which insurance is in full force and effect, except where the failure to maintain such insurance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no material claims by the Company or any Subsidiary under any such policy or instrument as to which any insurance company is denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights clause.

No deficiency assessment with respect to a proposed adjustment of the Company's or any Subsidiary's taxes is pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened. The accruals and reserves on the books and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries in respect of tax liabilities for any taxable period not finally determined are reasonably adequate to meet any assessments and related liabilities for any such period and, since the date of the most recent audited financial statements, the Company and the Subsidiaries have not incurred any liability for taxes other than in the ordinary course of business. There is no tax lien imposed by any taxing authority, outstanding against the assets, properties or business of the Company or any Subsidiary.

There has been no disposal, discharge, emission, contamination or other release of any kind at, onto or from any such property or into the environment surrounding any such property of any Hazardous Substances with respect to which the Company or any Subsidiary has knowledge, except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has agreed to assume, undertake or provide indemnification for any liability of any other person under any Environmental Law, including any obligation for cleanup or remedial action, except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no pending or, to the best of the Company's knowledge, threatened, administrative, regulatory or judicial action, claim or notice of noncompliance or violation, investigation or proceedings relating to any Environmental Law against the Company or any Subsidiary. No property of the Company or any Subsidiary is subject to any Lien under any Environmental Law. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is subject to any order, decree, agreement or other individualized legal requirement related to any Environmental Law.

(uu) The section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation -- Critical Accounting Policies" in the Registration Statement and the Pricing Prospectus accurately and fully describes (i) accounting policies which the Company believes are the most important in the portrayal of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and which require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments ("Critical Accounting Policies"); (ii) judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of critical accounting policies; and (iii) the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.

(r) At the Closing Date, the Representative shall have received a certificate of an authorized representative of each Selling Shareholder, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the representations and warranties of such Selling Shareholder set forth in Section 2 hereof are accurate and that such Selling Shareholder has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date. (s) Each Selling Shareholder shall have completed the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the respective Custody Agreement, including, without limitation, delivering to the Custodian the exchangeable bonds exchangeable for Shares, and preference shares convertible into Shares, that it is obligated to sell hereunder. (t) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Representative shall have received a properly completed and executed United States Treasury Department Form W-9 or other applicable form from each Selling Shareholder. (u) All of the preferred shares and exchangeable bonds of the Company shall have converted or been exchanged into Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms of such preferred shares and exchangeable bonds. If any of the conditions specified in this Section 7 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required by this Agreement, or if any of the certificates, opinions, written statements or letters furnished to the Representative, the Underwriters' Counsel or the Underwriters' PRC Counsel pursuant to this Section 7 shall not be satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative, the Underwriters' Counsel or the Underwriters' PRC Counsel, all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be cancelled by the Representative at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date, and the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase Additional Shares may be cancelled by the Representative at, or at any time prior to, any Additional Closing Date. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing, or by telephone. Any such telephone notice shall be confirmed promptly thereafter in writing. 8. Indemnification. --------------- (a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to attorneys' fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any 34 untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in the Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, or in any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, or in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or in any "issuer information" (as defined in Rule 433(h)(2) under the Securities Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or (B) in any other materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with the Offering, including in any "road show" (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) for the Offering ("Marketing Materials"), or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, or in any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, or in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or in any "issuer information" (as defined in Rule 433(h)(2) under the Securities Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or in any Marketing Materials, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent but only to the extent that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use therein. The parties agree that such information provided by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representative consists solely of the material referred to in Section 15 hereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Selling Shareholders may otherwise have, including but not limited to other liability under this Agreement. (b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Selling Shareholder, each of the directors of the Company, each of the officers of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to attorneys' fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof or any related Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representative specifically for use therein; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount applicable to the Shares to be purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. 35 The parties agree that such information provided by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representative consists solely of the material referred to in the last sentence of Section 15 hereof. (c) Each of the Selling Shareholders shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact relating to such Selling Shareholder contained in the Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, or any related Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof, or any related Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, or any supplement thereof, or any related Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, a material fact relating to such Selling Shareholder required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that such Selling Shareholder will not be liable in any such case to the extent but only to the extent that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, or any related Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use therein. The parties agree that such information provided by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representative consists solely of the material referred to in the last sentence of Section 15 hereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which each of the Selling Shareholders may otherwise have, including but not limited to other liability under this Agreement; provided, however, that in no case shall any Selling Shareholder be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the proceeds (net of the underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting other expenses) applicable to the Shares sold by such Selling Shareholder pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby. (d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above of notice of any claims or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the claim or the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have under this Section 8 to the extent that it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof or otherwise has notice of any such action, and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability that such indemnifying party may have otherwise than on account of the indemnity agreement hereunder). In case any such claim or action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate, at its own expense in the defense of such action, and to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the written consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, (iii) the indemnifying party does not diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense, or (iv) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to one or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened claim, investigation, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity or contribution may be or could have been sought by an indemnified party under this Section 8 or Section 9 hereof (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, investigation, action or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or any failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party. 9. Contribution. In order to provide for contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 8 hereof is for any reason held to be unavailable from any indemnifying party or is insufficient to hold harmless a party indemnified thereunder, the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnification provision (including any investigation, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or 36 proceeding or any claims asserted, but after deducting in the case of losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses suffered by the Company and any Selling Shareholder, any contribution received by the Company and any Selling Shareholder from persons, other than the Underwriters, who may also be liable for contribution, including persons who control the Company or any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, officers of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and directors of the Company) as incurred to which the Company, any Selling Shareholder and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject, in such proportions as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the Offering or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportions as are appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (x) the total proceeds from the Offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders bears to (y) the underwriting discount or commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of each of the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or a Selling Shareholder on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other hand and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 9 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any judicial, regulatory or other legal or governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the discounts and commissions applicable to the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation and (iii) no Selling Shareholder shall be required to contribute an amount in excess of the proceeds (net of the underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting other expenses) applicable to the Shares sold by the Selling Shareholder pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby. For purposes of this Section 9, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of 37 Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company and any Selling Shareholder shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and any Selling Shareholder, as applicable, subject in each case to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties, notify each party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may have under this Section 9 or otherwise. The obligations of the Underwriters to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares to be purchased by each of the Underwriters hereunder and not joint. 10. Underwriter Default. ------------------- (a) If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall default in its or their obligation to purchase Firm Shares or Additional Shares hereunder, and if the Firm Shares or Additional Shares with respect to which such default relates (the "Default Shares") do not (after giving effect to arrangements, if any, made by the Representative pursuant to subsection (b) below) exceed in the aggregate 10% of the number of Firm Shares or Additional Shares, each non-defaulting Underwriter, acting severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Company and the Selling Shareholders that number of Default Shares that bears the same proportion of the total number of Default Shares then being purchased as the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of the non-defaulting Underwriters, subject, however, to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Representative in its sole discretion shall make. (b) In the event that the aggregate number of Default Shares exceeds 10% of the number of Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, the Representative may in its discretion arrange for itself or for another party or parties (including any non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters who so agree) to purchase the Default Shares on the terms contained herein. In the event that within five calendar days after such a default the Representative does not arrange for the purchase of the Default Shares as provided in this Section 10, this Agreement or, in the case of a default with respect to the Additional Shares, the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company to sell the Additional Shares shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of the Company or the Selling Shareholders with respect thereto (except in each case as provided in Sections 6, 8, 9, 12 and 13(d)) or the Underwriters, but nothing in this Agreement shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters of its or their liability, if any, to the other Underwriters and the Company and the Selling Shareholders for damages occasioned by its or their default hereunder. (c) In the event that any Default Shares are to be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriters, or are to be purchased by another party or parties as aforesaid, the Representative or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date or Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding five business days, in order to effect 38 whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any other documents and arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which, in the opinion of Underwriters' Counsel, may thereby be made necessary or advisable. The term "Underwriter" as used in this Agreement shall include any party substituted under this Section 10 with like effect as if it had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Firm Shares and Additional Shares. 11. Selling Shareholder Default. --------------------------- (a) If any Selling Shareholder or Selling Shareholders shall default in its or their obligation to sell and deliver any Shares hereunder, then the Representative may, by notice to the Company, terminate this Agreement without any liability on the part of any non-defaulting party except that the provisions of Sections 1, 2, 6, 8, 9, 12 and 13 hereof shall remain in full force and effect. No action taken pursuant to this Section 11 shall relieve any Selling Shareholder so defaulting from liability, if any, in respect of such default. (b) In the event that such default occurs and the Company and Underwriters agree to proceed with the Offering, then the Underwriters may, at the option of the Representative, or the Company shall have the right, in each case by notice to the other, to postpone the Closing Date for a period not exceeding five business days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any other documents and arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which, in the opinion of Underwriters' Counsel, may thereby be made necessary or advisable. 12. Survival of Representations and Agreements. All representations and warranties, covenants and agreements of the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Shareholders contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or any Subsidiary or of the Selling Shareholders submitted pursuant hereto, including the agreements contained in Section 6, the indemnity agreements contained in Section 8 and the contribution agreements contained in Section 9, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person thereof or by or on behalf of the Company or any Selling Shareholder, any of their officers and directors or any controlling person thereof, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares to and by the Underwriters. The representations contained in Sections 1 and 2 and the agreements contained in Sections 6, 8, 9, 12 and 13 hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement, including termination pursuant to Section 10, 11 or 13 hereof. 13. Effective Date of Agreement; Termination. ---------------------------------------- (a) This Agreement shall become effective upon the later of (i) receipt by the Representative and the Company of notification of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or (ii) the execution of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 13 and of Sections 1, 2, 6, 8, 9, 12 and 14 through 22, inclusive, shall remain in full force and effect at all times after the execution hereof. 39 (b) The Representative shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing Date or to terminate the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Additional Shares at any time prior to the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, if, at or after the Applicable Time, (i) any domestic or international event or act or occurrence has materially disrupted, or in the opinion of the Representative will in the immediate future materially disrupt, the market for the Company's securities or securities in general; (ii) trading on The New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") or the NASDAQ National Market shall have been suspended or been made subject to material limitations, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been required, on the NYSE or the NASDAQ National Market or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction; (iii) a banking moratorium has been declared by any state or federal authority or if any material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services shall have occurred; (iv) (A) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or there is a declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States or (B) there shall have been any other calamity or crisis or any change in political, financial or economic conditions if the effect of any such event in (A) or (B), in the judgment of the Representative, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale and delivery of the Firm Shares or the Additional Shares, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Pricing Prospectus; or (v) in the judgment of the Representative, any Material Adverse Change shall have occurred since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Pricing Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto since the date hereof). (c) Any notice of termination pursuant to this Section 13 shall be in writing specifying the provision of this Agreement that was invoked for the termination. (d) If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to any of the provisions hereof (other than pursuant to Section 10(b) hereof), or if the sale of the Shares provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth herein is not satisfied or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof, the Company will, subject to demand by the Representative, reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel), incurred by the Underwriters in connection herewith. 14.

EACH OF THE COMPANY (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ON BEHALF OF ITS RESPECTIVE EQUITY HOLDERS AND CREDITORS), THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS AND UNDERWRITERS HEREBY 41 WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, THE ADS REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND THE PRICING PROSPECTUS. 18. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than United States dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the relevant party or parties could purchase United States dollars with such other currency in The City of New York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each party hereto with respect to any sum due from it to any other party hereto or any person controlling any such other party shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first business day following receipt by such other party or controlling person of any sum in such other currency, and only to the extent that such other party or controlling person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency. If the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such other party or controlling person hereunder, the first-mentioned party agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such other party or controlling person against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such other party or controlling person hereunder, such other party or controlling person agrees to pay to the first-mentioned party an amount equal to the excess of the United States dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to such other party or controlling person hereunder. 19.

The proposed underwritten Public Offering will be effected pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") to be entered into by and among the Company, the Selling Shareholder, other selling shareholders and Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., as representative on behalf of a group of underwriters (the "Underwriters"). In connection with the Public Offering, Codan Trust Company (Cayman) Limited, has been appointed as the transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent") for the Ordinary Shares. Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Underwriting Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, "Closing Date" shall refer to the Closing Date for the Firm Shares and any Additional Closing Date, if different, for the Additional Shares. The Selling Shareholder proposes to sell up to the aggregate number of Firm Shares and Additional Shares listed opposite the Selling Shareholder's name on Schedule II to the Underwriting Agreement to the Underwriters for reoffering in the form of ADSs together with Firm Shares and Additional Shares, if any, to be purchased by the Underwriters from the Company and other selling shareholders (collectively, the "Shares"). In connection with and to facilitate the sale of the Shares to the Underwriters, the undersigned hereby appoints the Company as custodian (the "Custodian") and herewith deposits or will cause to be deposited with the Custodian one or more share certificates representing preference shares (the "Preference Shares") issued by the Company which shall be converted into shares of Ordinary Shares (the "Preference Share Certificates") and bond certificates representing exchangeable bonds (the "Exchangeable Bonds") issued by each of Heng Xing Yue Investments Limited, Drag Investments Limited and Guoren Industrial Developments Limited which shall be exchanged for shares of Ordinary Shares (the "Bond Certificates" and together with the "Preference Share Certificates", the "Certificates"), in each case immediately prior to the closing of the Offering, "Closing"), which Certificates together will be exchangeable or convertible, as the B-1 case may be, into not less than the total number of Shares to be sold by the undersigned to the Underwriters in the Public Offering, which number is set forth on Schedule I hereto. The Custodian is hereby authorized, in its capacity as custodian, to take delivery of the certificates or instruments set forth on Schedule I hereto to be completed and delivered with this Agreement by the Selling Shareholder, which Certificates or instruments represent the Exchangeable Bonds and Preference Shares exchangeable or convertible into, as the case may be, Ordinary Shares held by the Selling Shareholder that will constitute the Shares to be sold by the Selling Shareholder. Each such Certificate so deposited is in negotiable and proper deliverable form endorsed in blank with the signature of the undersigned so witnessed. The Custodian is hereby authorized and directed, subject to the instructions of the Attorneys-in-Fact, (a) to hold in custody the Certificate or Certificates deposited herewith, (b) to convert the Preference Shares and exchange the Exchangeable Bonds, in each case for share certificates representing Ordinary Shares (the "Share Certificates") only upon satisfaction of all the conditions set out in Section 7 of the Underwriting Agreement (except for the condition set out in Section 7(u)) and immediately prior to Closing and (c) to deliver or to authorize the Transfer Agent to deliver the Share Certificate or Share Certificates deposited hereunder (or replacement certificate(s) for the Shares) to or at the direction of the Attorneys-in-Fact in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and (c) to return or cause the Transfer Agent to return to the undersigned new certificate(s) for the shares of Ordinary Shares represented by any Certificate deposited hereunder that are not sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Selling Shareholder. 3. Until the first to occur of (i) the Closing Date with respect to the Shares sold by the Selling Shareholder, or (ii) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to paragraph 5 below, the Custodian shall hold the Certificates and Share Certificates and related stock power and written instrument(s) of transfer in safekeeping. 4.

If payment is made to an Attorney-in-Fact, the Attorney-in-Fact shall deposit such payment with the Custodian, and the Custodian shall dispose of such funds as hereinafter provided. 5. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall terminate forthwith upon (i) the termination of the Underwriting Agreement (ii) the failure to consummate the sale of any of the Shares to the Underwriters within 30 days of the date on which the Underwriting Agreement is executed or (iii) the failure of the Underwriters to execute the Underwriting Agreement by September 30, 2006. Upon any such termination of this Agreement, the Custodian is authorized and directed to return to the Selling Shareholder the Certificates delivered herewith, together with any related stock powers and written instrument(s) of transfer, if still in possession of the Custodian hereunder. 6. In the event that the Exchangeable Bonds or Preference Shares are not exchanged or converted, in each case into Ordinary Shares, and until payment in full has been made for the B-3 number of Shares that are sold pursuant to the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Selling Shareholder shall remain the record and beneficial owner of the Shares, Preference Shares and Exchangeable Bonds, as the case may be (provided, however, that Actis Executive Co-Investment Plan L.P. shall be the beneficial owner of 1.9% of the Shares to be sold by Actis China Investment Holdings No. 1 Limited pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement) deposited hereunder and shall have all the rights of a Shareholder of the Company with respect to the Preference Shares, Exchangeable Bonds and Shares, including the right to receive dividends attributable to the Shares and to vote all of the Shares. 7.

The Custodian is further authorized in its discretion to advance funds for the account of the Selling Shareholder for the purchase of any share transfer stamps or the payment of any share transfer tax required in connection with the sale of any of the Selling Shareholder's Shares to the Underwriters to the extent set out in the Underwriting Agreement and to reimburse itself for the cost of such stamps and tax, if any, out of the purchase price received by it for such Shares. 9. After making the payments provided for in paragraph 8 above, the Custodian is directed (a) to remit to the Selling Shareholder the balance of the purchase price received by it in respect of the Selling Shareholder's Shares sold by the Selling Shareholder on the Closing Date (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) at such account as shall be provided by the Selling Shareholder at least two days prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) and (b) to return to the Selling Shareholder on the Closing Date (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) a certificate or certificates for Shares, if any, registered in the same manner as the Certificates delivered to it herewith, for any of the Selling Shareholder's Shares that are not sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement within 30 days following the date the Underwriting Agreement is executed.

Assuming the Deposit Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands, the Deposit Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company under the laws of the State of New York and, assuming the Deposit Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Depositary and that each of the Company and the Depositary has the full power, authority and legal right to enter into and perform its respective obligations thereunder, the Deposit Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except that the enforcement thereof may be subject to (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability now or hereinafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally, (b) general equity principles and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and (c) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. 3.

The Registration Statements, as of the date each was declared effective, and the Prospectus, as of its date, complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements for registration statements on Form F-1 and Form F-6 under the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. 8. The statements set forth in the Prospectus under the captions "Description of American Depositary Shares" and "Shares Eligible for Future Sale", insofar as they purport to summarize the provisions of the agreements, statutes or regulations referred to therein, fairly summarize such matters in all material respects. 9. Although the statements set forth in the Prospectus under the caption "Taxation -- United States Federal Income Taxation" do not purport to discuss all possible United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Shares in the form of ADSs, such statements, to the extent that they constitute matters of law or legal considerations with respect thereto, fairly and accurately summarize in all material respects the United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Shares in the form of ADSs under present law. 10. No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any U.S. federal or New York governmental agency or body or, to our knowledge, any U.S. federal or New York court is required for the issue and sale of the Shares in the form of ADSs by the Company or the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement, except for (a) such as have been obtained under the Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (b) such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws or securities laws of jurisdictions outside the United States in connection with the purchase and distribution of the ADSs by the Underwriters as contemplated in the Underwriting Agreement, and (c) such as are required by the National Association of Securities Dealers. 11.

There are no contracts known to such counsel of a character required to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement that are not filed as required. 14. In addition, although such counsel does not make any representation as to, and is not passing upon or assuming responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements included in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, except for those made under (8) and (9) above, such opinion shall also contain a statement that such counsel has participated in conferences with officers and representatives of the Company, representatives of the independent public accountants for the Company and the Underwriters and their counsel at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus and related matters were discussed and no facts have come to the attention of such counsel which caused such counsel to believe that (A) the Registration Statement, at the time it became effective (including the information deemed to be part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A(b)), or any amendment thereof made prior to the Closing Date, as of the date of such amendment, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (B) the Prospectus, as of its date (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto made prior to the Closing Date as of the date of such amendment or supplement) and as of the Closing Date, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (C) the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it being understood that such counsel need express no belief or opinion with respect to the financial statements and schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference therein of omitted therefrom). A-I-3 ANNEX II Form of Opinion of Conyers Dill & Pearman Cayman Islands counsel to the Company 1. As at the Certificate Date, the Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company and in good standing (meaning solely that it has not failed to make any filing with any Cayman Islands government authority or to pay any Cayman Islands government fee or tax which would make it liable to be struck off the Register of Companies and thereby cease to exist under the laws of the Cayman Islands) and has the corporate power and authority required to carry on its business and to own, lease and operate its properties in accordance with its memorandum of association and as described in the Prospectus. 2. The Company has the authorised and issued share capital set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. Based solely upon our review of the Register of Members, [500,000,000] ordinary shares are in issue as at [o], 2006 and such issued shares of the Company have been duly authorised and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable (meaning that no further sums are payable to the Company on such shares) and are not subject to any pre-emptive or similar rights under Cayman Islands law or the articles of association of the Company. 3. The Shares to be issued and sold by the Company under the Underwriting Agreement have been duly authorised, and when issued and delivered by the Company to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement against payment in full of the consideration set forth in the Underwriting Agreement, will have been validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (meaning that no further sums are payable to the Company on such Shares) and such Shares will not be subject to any pre-emptive or similar rights under the articles of association of the Company. 4. The Shares to be issued and delivered by the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and Deposit Agreement against payment in full of the consideration set forth therein will have been validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (meaning that no further sums are payable to the Company on such shares) when issued and delivered in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement and Deposit Agreement. 5. Based solely on our review of the Register of Members, (1) the Selling Shareholders are the registered holders of such number of ordinary shares set out in the Schedule hereof immediately prior to the transfer of the Sale Shares to the Depositary and (2) all ordinary shares to be deposited by the Selling Shareholders (the "Sale Shares") with the Depositary by way of share transfers pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the Deposit Agreement have been duly authorized, are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (meaning that no further sums are payable to the Company on such Shares). 6. The Company has the necessary corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. The issue and sale of the Shares, the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the performance by the A-II-1 Company of its obligations thereunder will not violate the Memorandum or Articles of Association of the Company nor any applicable law, regulation, order or decree in the Cayman Islands. 7. The Company has taken all corporate action required to authorise its execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents. The Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company, and constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof. 8. No order, consent, approval, licence, authorisation or validation of or exemption by any government or public body or authority of the Cayman Islands or any sub-division thereof is required to authorise or is required in connection with the issue and sale of the Shares and the ADSs, the deposit of the Shares with the Depositary against issuance of the ADRs evidencing the ADSs, the filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC and the execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of the Transaction Documents, issue and delivery of the Shares and the payment of any amount under the Underwriting Agreement and the Deposit Agreement (other than court filings if legal proceedings are brought in the Cayman Islands). 9. It is not necessary or desirable to ensure the enforceability, legality, validity or admissibility in evidence in the Cayman Islands of the Transaction Documents that they be registered in any register kept by, or filed with, any governmental authority or regulatory body in the Cayman Islands (other than court filings in the ordinary course of proceedings). However, to the extent that any of the Transaction Documents creates a charge over assets of the Company, the Company and its Directors are under an obligation to enter such charge in the Register of Mortgages and Charges of the Company in accordance with section 54 of the Companies Law. While there is no exhaustive definition of a charge under Cayman Islands law, a charge normally has the following characteristics: (i) it is a proprietary interest granted by way of security which entitles the chargee to resort to the charged property only for the purposes of satisfying some liability due to the chargee (whether from the chargor or a third party); and (ii) the chargor retains an equity of redemption to have the property restored to him when the liability has been discharged. However, as the Transaction Documents are governed by the Foreign Laws, the question of whether they would possess these particular characteristics would be determined under the Foreign Laws. 10. There is no stamp, registration or similar tax or duty to be paid on or in relation to any of the Transaction Documents provided that they are executed and remain outside the Cayman Islands. If it becomes necessary to bring any of the Transaction Documents into the Cayman Islands for enforcement or otherwise, nominal stamp duty will be payable on such Transaction Documents. In the case of any Transaction Documents creating security over movable property granted by an exempted company, an ordinary non-resident company or a foreign company, stamp duty will be payable on an ad valorem basis to a maximum of CI$500.00 (US$600.00). Apart from the payment of stamp duty, there are no acts, conditions or things required by the laws and A-II-2 regulations of the Cayman Islands to be done, fulfilled or performed in order to make any of the Transaction Documents admissible in evidence in the Cayman Islands. 11. The statements in the Prospectus under the captions "Risk factors -- Risks relating to this offering", "Description of share capital", "Management", "Taxation" and "Enforceability of civil liabilities", insofar and to the extent that they constitute a summary or description of the laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands, are true and correct in all respects and nothing has been omitted from such statements which would make them misleading in any material respect. 12. The Registration Statement, the 8-A Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the ADS Registration Statement and the filing of the Registration Statement and the ADS Registration Statement with the SEC have been duly authorised by and on behalf of the Company, and the Registration Statement and the ADSs Registration Statement have been duly executed pursuant to such authorisation by and on behalf of the Company. 13. Except as described in the Prospectus, no taxes, imposts or duties of any nature (including, without limitation, stamp or other issuance or transfer taxes or duties and capital gains, income, witholding or other taxes) are payable by or on behalf of the Underwriters to the Cayman Islands or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein in connection with (i) the allotment, issuance, and initial sale of the Shares or the ADSs; (ii) the initial sale of the Shares and ADSs to the Underwriters in the manner contemplated in the Transaction Documents; (iii) the resale and delivery of the Shares and ADSs by the Underwriters in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus; (iv) the declaration and payment of dividends on the Shares; (v) the entering of the Depositary as the registered holder of the Shares; (vi) the deposit with the Depositary of Shares by the Company and the Selling Shareholders against the issuance of ADRs evidencing the ADSs; or (v) the filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC. 14. All dividends and other distributions declared and payable on the Shares of the Company may under the current laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands be paid to the Depositary and where they are to be paid from the Cayman Islands are freely transferred out of the Cayman Islands. 15. The choice of the Foreign Laws as the governing law of the Transaction Documents is a valid choice of law and would be recognised and given effect to in any action brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in the Cayman Islands, except for those laws (i) which such court considers to be procedural in nature, (ii) which are revenue or penal laws or (iii) the application of which would be inconsistent with public policy, as such term is interpreted under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The submission in the Transaction Documents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Foreign Courts is valid and binding upon the Company. The Company can sue and be sued in its own name under the laws of the Cayman Islands. 16. The courts of the Cayman Islands would recognise as a valid judgment, a final and conclusive judgment in personam obtained in the Foreign Courts against the Company based upon the Transaction Documents (other than the Custody Agreements) under which a sum of money is payable (other than a sum of money payable in respect of multiple damages, taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty) and would give a judgment based thereon provided that (a) such courts had proper jurisdiction over the parties subject to such judgment; (b) A-II-3 such courts did not contravene the rules of natural justice of the Cayman Islands; (c) such judgment was not obtained by fraud; (d) the enforcement of the judgment would not be contrary to the public policy of the Cayman Islands; (e) no new admissible evidence relevant to the action is submitted prior to the rendering of the judgment by the courts of the Cayman Islands; and (f) there is due compliance with the correct procedures under the laws of the Cayman Islands. 17. Based solely upon a search of the Register of Writs and other Originating Process of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands conducted at [o] a.m./p.m. on [o], 2006 (which would not reveal details of matters which have been filed but not actually entered in the Register of Writs and other Originating Process of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands at the time of our search), there are no judgements against the Company, nor any legal or governmental proceedings, nor any petitions to wind up the Company pending in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands to which the Company is subject. 18. The Transaction Documents are in an acceptable legal form under the laws of the Cayman Islands for enforcement thereof against the Company in the Cayman Islands in accordance with its terms. 19. There is no exchange control legislation under Cayman Islands law and accordingly there are no exchange control regulations imposed under Cayman Islands law. 20. The Company is not entitled to any immunity under the laws of the Cayman Islands, whether characterised as sovereign immunity or otherwise, from any legal proceedings to enforce the Transaction Documents in respect of itself or its property. 21. The Underwriters will not be deemed to be resident, domiciled or carrying on business in the Cayman Islands by reason only of the execution, performance and/or enforcement of the Transaction Documents (other than the Custody Agreements) by the Underwriters. 22. The Underwriters has standing to bring an action or proceedings before the appropriate courts in the Cayman Islands for the enforcement of the Transaction Documents (other than the Custody Agreements). It is not necessary or advisable in order for the Underwriters to enforce its rights under the Transaction Documents (other than the Custody Agreements), including the exercise of remedies thereunder, that it be licensed, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in the Cayman Islands. 23. We believe that in the event of any legal proceedings being brought in the Cayman Islands courts in respect of a monetary obligation expressed to be payable in a currency other than Cayman Islands dollars, a Cayman Islands court would give judgment expressed as an order to pay such currency or its Cayman Islands dollar equivalent at the time of the payment or pursuant to enforcement of the judgment. In respect of winding up proceedings, Cayman Islands law may require that all claims or debts are converted either into Cayman Islands dollars or the company's functional currency of account at the exchange rate ruling at the date of commencement of the winding up. 24. There is nothing contained in the law of the Cayman Islands or the memorandum and articles of association of the Company which prevents the exercise of any right or the enjoyment of any benefit to which an ADS holder is entitled as a result of owning an ADS issued A-II-4 under the terms of the Deposit Agreement and which has not been disclosed in the Deposit Agreement and the form of receipt attached to the Deposit Agreement. 25. There are no reporting obligations under the laws of the Cayman Islands on holders of the ADSs that have not been disclosed in the Deposit Agreement and the form of receipt attached to the Deposit Agreement. 26. The Depositary will not be required by any law of the Cayman Islands to make any report to any Cayman Islands governmental authority or regulatory body with respect to the ADSs or the Shares by virtue of it being a party to the Deposit Agreement and exercising its rights and performing its obligations thereunder.
