(ii) The Company shall comply with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act to permit completion of the distribution as contemplated in this Agreement, the Deposit Agreement, the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus. If at any time when a prospectus relating to the Shares (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event shall have occurred as a result of which the Pricing Disclosure Package (prior to the availability of the Prospectus) or the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would, in the judgment of the Underwriters or the Company, include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances existing at the time of delivery of such Pricing Disclosure Package or Prospectus (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) to the purchaser, not misleading, or if to comply with the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations it shall be necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or the Registration Statement, the Company will notify the Representative promptly and prepare and file with the Commission an appropriate amendment or supplement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Representative) that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance, and will use its best efforts to have any amendment to the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as possible.

If at any time any event shall have occurred as a result of which any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would, in the judgment of the Underwriters or the Company, conflict with the information in the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented or would, in the judgment of the Underwriters or the Company, include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances existing at the time of delivery to the purchaser, not misleading, or if to comply with the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations it shall be necessary at any time to amend or supplement any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Company will notify the

Representative promptly and, if requested by the Representative, prepare and furnish without charge to each Underwriter (subject to Sections 9(b) and 10 hereof) an appropriate amendment or supplement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Representative) that will correct such statement, omission or conflict or effect such compliance.

(iv) The Company has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 with respect to each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus including, without limitation, all prospectus delivery, filing, record retention and legending requirements applicable to each such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus; and the Company has caused there to be made available at least one version of a “bona fide electronic road show” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) in a manner that causes the Company not to be required, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, to file with the Commission any road show. The Company shall retain, in accordance with the Rules and Regulations, all Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses not required to be filed pursuant to the Rules and Regulations.

(v) The Company will promptly deliver to each of the Representative and Underwriters’ Counsel a signed copy of each of the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement and the 8-A Registration Statement, as initially filed and all amendments thereto, including all consents and exhibits filed therewith, and will maintain in the Company’s files manually signed copies of such documents for at least five years after the date of filing. The Company will promptly deliver to each of the Underwriters such number of copies of any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Registration Statement, all Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses and all amendments of and supplements to such documents, if any, as the Representative may reasonably request. Prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the business day next succeeding the date of this Agreement and from time to time thereafter, the Company will furnish the Underwriters with copies of the Prospectus in New York City in such quantities as the Representative may reasonably request.

The Company will provide the Representative, each officer, director and shareholder of the Company listed on Schedule III attached hereto with prior notice of any such announcement that gives rise to an extension of the Lock-Up Period.

In addition, the Company will instruct the Depositary not to accept any deposit of any Ordinary Shares by, or issue any ADSs to, the existing shareholders, beneficial owners or option holders of the Company during the Lock-Up Period (other than in connection with the Offering). The Company also agrees not to change or amend such instruction to the Depositary during the Lock-Up Period unless with the prior written consent of the Representative.

(xvi) The Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Representative, make any offer relating to the Shares or the ADSs that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

(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, and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and 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 untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) the Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, or in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package 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) 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 (A) in the Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (B) in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company 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 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 18 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 Selling Shareholder, severally and not jointly, 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(a) of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and 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 untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) the Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, or any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package 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) any Marketing Materials, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make (A) the statements in the Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, not misleading, or (B) the statements in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package, or the Prospectus, or 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Selling Shareholders 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 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 (as described in the last sentence of Section 1(A)(b) hereof); provided further, however, that such Selling Shareholder will 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 in reliance upon and in conformity with information in writing furnished to the Company by such Selling Shareholder expressly for use therein, it being agreed that the only such information is that which is included under the heading “Principal and Selling Shareholder” which relates to such Selling Shareholder; and provided further, however, that in no such

case shall any Selling Shareholder be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the proceeds (net of the underwriting discount but before deducting other expenses) applicable to the Shares sold by such Selling Shareholder pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Selling Shareholder may otherwise have including under this Agreement.

(c) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Selling Shareholder, each of the directors of the Company and each Selling Shareholder, 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 (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of 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, 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. 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 18 hereof.

(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 9 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, counsel to such indemnified party shall be selected by such indemnified party. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such claim or action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of

the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. 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 9 or Section 10 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. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by subsections (a), (b) or (c), as applicable, effected without its written consent if (A) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (B) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (C) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

10. Contribution. In order to provide for contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 9 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 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 10 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 10 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 10, (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 10, 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 and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities 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 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) and (ii) 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 10 or otherwise. The obligations of the Underwriters to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares to be purchased by each of the Underwriters hereunder and not joint.

(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 11, 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 and the Selling Shareholders 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 7, 9, 10, 13 and 14) 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 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 11 with like effect as if it had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Firm Shares and Additional Shares.

(d) 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, 7, 9, 10, 13 and 14 hereof shall remain in full force and effect. No action taken pursuant to this Section 12 shall relieve any Selling Shareholder so defaulting from liability, if any, in respect of such default.

(e) 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 or Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, 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.

13. 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 Sections 5 and 6, the indemnity agreements contained in Section 9 and the contribution agreements contained in Section 10, 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 7, 9, 10 and 14 through 17 hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement, including termination pursuant to Section 11, 12 or 14 hereof.

(a) This Agreement shall become effective when the parties hereto have executed and delivered this Agreement.

(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; or (ii) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), the Nasdaq Global Market, the American Stock Exchange or any other relevant exchanges shall have occurred; or (iii) a suspension or material limitation in trading in the Company’s securities on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market shall have occurred; or (iv) a banking moratorium has been declared by U.S. federal, New York State, Cayman Islands, PRC or other relevant foreign country authorities, or any material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, the Cayman Islands, the PRC or other relevant jurisdiction shall have occurred; or (v) (A) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism or there is a declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States, the Cayman Islands, the PRC or other relevant foreign country authorities or (B) there shall have been any change in financial markets, currency exchange rates or controls or any 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 Prospectus.

(d) If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to any of the provisions hereof (other than pursuant to Section 11(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 or any Selling Shareholder 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.

(e) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 14 and of Sections 1, 2, 7, 9, 10, 13 and 14 through 23, inclusive, shall remain in full force and effect at all times after the execution hereof.

The Selling Shareholder has executed and delivered an Irrevocable Power of Attorney (the “Power of Attorney”) naming Julia Huang and Michael Xu, or their appointed substitute or substitutes, and each of them, as its attorney-in-fact (the “Attorneys-In-Fact”) for certain purposes.

5. This Agreement is for the express benefit of the Company, the Attorneys-In-Fact, the Custodian, the other Selling Shareholders, the Representative and the Underwriters. The obligations and authorizations of the Selling Shareholder hereunder are irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of the Selling Shareholder or by operation of law, whether by the death, disability, incapacity, liquidation or dissolution of the Selling Shareholder or by the occurrence of any other event or events (including, without limitation, the termination of any trust or estate for which the Selling Shareholder is acting as a fiduciary or fiduciaries), and if after the execution hereof the Selling Shareholder shall die or become disabled or incapacitated or is liquidated or dissolved, or if any other event or events shall occur before the delivery of the Selling Shareholder’s Ordinary Shares hereunder, such Ordinary Shares shall be delivered in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as if such event had not occurred, regardless of whether or not the Custodian shall have received notice of such event.

6. Until payment of the purchase price for the Ordinary Shares in the form of ADSs has been made to the Selling Shareholder or to the Custodian, the Selling Shareholder shall remain the owner of (and shall retain the right to receive dividends and distributions on, and to vote) the Ordinary Shares delivered by the Selling Shareholder to the Custodian hereunder.

Terms used but not otherwise defined in this exhibit shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Underwriting Agreement.

1. The Company is duly incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company 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 as is currently being conducted and to own, lease and operate its properties in accordance with its memorandum of association and as described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus.

2. The Company has the authorised and issued share capital set forth in the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Form 8-A Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus. Based solely upon our review of the certified copy of the register of members as at the date of this opinion (“Certified Register of Members”), [ ] ordinary shares are in issue as at the date set out in the Certified Register of Members 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). A member registered in the register of members of the Company will be deemed, as a matter of law of the Cayman Islands, to have legal title to those shares set against its name in such register of members.

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), such Shares will have attached thereto the rights set out in the fifth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company adopted by the members of the Company on 21 November 2007 and to be effective upon listing of the Company on the Nasdaq Global Market (the “Listing Memorandum and Articles”) and such Shares will not be subject to any pre-emptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights under Cayman Islands law, the fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company adopted by the members of the Company on March 9, 2007 (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles”) or the Listing Memorandum and Articles.

4. 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 filing of the Registration Statement, the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the performance by the 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. The issue, sale and delivery of the Shares in the form of ADSs, the ADSs being delivered at such time of delivery, the deposit of the Shares with the

Depositary against the issuance of the ADRs evidencing the ADSs to be delivered at such time of delivery, the filing of the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Form 8-A Registration Statement, the free writing prospectus dated [•] 2007 (the “Free Writing Prospectus”) and the Prospectus, the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the performance by the Company thereunder will not violate the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles nor any applicable law, regulation, order or decree in the Cayman Islands.

5. 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. The Company has taken all corporate action required to authorise the filing of each of the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Form 8-A Registration Statement, the Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus.

6. 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, sale and delivery of the Shares in the form of ADSs, the deposit of the Shares with the Depositary against issuance of the ADRs evidencing the ADSs, the filing of the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Form 8-A Registration Statement, the Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus with the SEC and the payment of dividends to shareholders of the Company in any currency, the execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of the Transaction Documents 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).

7. 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:

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.

8. 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 Document 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 and court filing fees if the ordinary course of court proceedings, there are no acts, conditions or things required by the laws and 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.

9. The statements in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the captions “Risk factors – You may face difficulties in protecting your interests and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited, because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law”, “Management – Directors and Executive Officers”, “Management – limitation on liability and other indemnification matters”, “Description of Share Capital”, “Taxation – Cayman Islands Taxation”, “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities” and in the Registration Statement under the caption “Part II—Item 6. Indemnification of directors and officers,” insofar and to the extent that they constitute a summary or description of the laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands, fairly and accurately present the information and summarise the matters referred to therein.

10. Subject to paragraph 8 above, there is no income or other tax of the Cayman Islands imposed by withholding or otherwise by virtue of the execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents or the issuance and sale of the Shares by the Company or on any payment to be made to or by the Company pursuant to the Transaction Documents. Subject to paragraph 8 above, the Cayman Islands currently has no income, corporate or capital gains tax and no estate duty, inheritance tax or gift tax.

11. There are no reporting obligations under the laws of the Cayman Islands on the holders of Shares as a result of being the holders of such Shares.

12. The Company is free to acquire, hold and sell foreign currency and securities without restriction.

13. 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 Underwriting Agreement to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Foreign Courts is valid and binding upon the Company. The submission in the Deposit Agreement to the non-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.

14. 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 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) 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.

15. Based solely upon a search of the Register of Writs and other Originating Process of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands conducted on 19 November 2007 (which would not reveal details of matters which have been filed but not actually entered in the Register of Writs and other Originating Process at the time of our search), no legal or governmental proceedings were pending against the Company or any property of the Company and no petitions to wind up the Company had been filed in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands as at the date and time of our search.

16. 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 their respective.

17. The Company has the legal capacity to sue and be sued in its own name under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

18. 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.

19. Neither the Underwriters nor the Depositary will be deemed to be resident, domiciled or carrying on business or subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands or in violation of any law thereof by reason only of the execution, performance and/or enforcement of the Transaction Documents by the Underwriters or the Depositary, as the case may be.

20. The Underwriters have standing to bring an action or proceedings before the appropriate courts in the Cayman Islands for the enforcement of the Transaction Documents. It is not necessary or advisable in order for the Underwriters to enforce their rights under the Transaction Documents, including the exercise of remedies thereunder, that any of them be licensed, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in the Cayman Islands.

21. The appointment of an agent to accept service of process in the Foreign Courts pursuant to the Transaction Documents is legal, valid and binding on the Company.

22. Based solely on our review of the Register of Members, no statement has been entered in the Register of Members to indicate that any of the shares of the Selling Shareholders are subject to any charge, mortgage or other security interest or encumbrance.

23. There are no governmental laws, decrees, regulations or other legislation in the Cayman Islands which affect the payment or remittance of dividends, interest or other payments otherwise properly and lawfully authorised by the Company to non-resident holders of the Shares.

15. As a matter of the PRC law, no holder of the ADSs or the Ordinary Shares who is not a PRC resident will be subject to any personal liability, or be subject to a requirement to be licensed or otherwise qualified to do business or be deemed domiciled or resident in the PRC, by virtue only of holding such ADSs or Ordinary Shares. There are no limitations under the laws of the PRC on the rights of holders of the ADSs or the Ordinary Shares who are not PRC residents to hold, vote or transfer their securities, nor any statutory preemptive rights or transfer restrictions applicable to the ADSs or the Ordinary Shares.

16. The statements set forth in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus under the captions “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Dividend Policy,” “Related Party Transactions,” “Corporate Structure,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Business,” “Regulation” and “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities,” insofar as such statements describe or summarize PRC legal or regulatory matters, or documents, agreements or proceedings governed by the PRC law, are true and accurate in all material aspects, and fairly present or summarize the PRC legal and regulatory matters, documents, agreements or proceedings referred to therein; and such statements did not contain or will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact, and did not omit or will not omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

17. The Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors (“ LOGO

”)(the “M&A Rules”), which became effective on September 8, 2006 and were jointly promulgated by six PRC regulatory agencies, including the Ministry of Commerce, the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the State Administration for Taxation, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, provide that an offshore special purpose vehicle formed for purposes of overseas listing of equity interests in PRC companies and controlled directly or indirectly by PRC companies or individuals shall obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such special purpose vehicle’s securities on an overseas stock exchange. On September 21, 2006, the CSRC published on its official website procedures regarding its approval of overseas listings by special purpose vehicles (together with the M&A Rules, the “M&A Rules and Related Clarifications”). As of the date hereof, the CSRC has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether offerings like the offering as contemplated by the Prospectus are subject to the new procedure provided in the M&A Rules and Related Clarifications. Given that the equity interests in the PRC Subsidiaries have been owned by or transferred to the Company before September 8, 2006, the effective date of the M&A Rules, the Company is not required to submit an application to the CSRC for the approval of the issuance and sale of the ADSs and the Ordinary Shares, the listing and trading of the ADSs on the Nasdaq Global Market, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the Deposit Agreement.

The CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies may further clarify the applicability of the M&A Rules and Related Clarifications on special purpose vehicle (such as the Company) with respect to the listing and trading of their stocks on overseas stock exchanges and we cannot rule out the possibility for the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies to interpret the M&A Rules and Related Clarifications differently from our foregoing understandings.
