2.3 Effective Time.

The Merger shall become effective at the time when the BVI Plan of Merger has been registered by the Registrar of Corporate Affairs of the British Virgin Islands or at such other subsequent date or time as Merger Sub and the Company may agree and specify in the Plan of Merger in accordance with the BVI Companies Act (the “Effective Time”).

2.4 The Memorandum and Articles of Association. As of the Effective Time, without any further action on the part of the parties, the memorandum and articles of association of Merger Sub then in effect shall be the memorandum and articles of association of the Surviving Corporation (the “Memorandum and Articles of Association”), except that, at the Effective Time, references therein to the name and the authorized capital of the Merger Sub shall be amended to describe correctly the name and authorized capital of the Surviving Corporation, as provided in the Plan of Merger, until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

2.5 Directors. The parties hereto shall take all actions necessary so that the board of directors of Merger Sub at the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

2.6 Officers. The parties hereto shall take all actions necessary so that the officers of the Company at the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

ARTICLE III

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON ISSUED SHARE CAPITAL;
MERGER CONSIDERATION; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

3.1 Effect on Issued Share Capital. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any other shareholders of the Company:

(a) Merger Consideration. Each ordinary share, with no par value per share, of the Company (a “Share” or, collectively, the “Shares”), including Shares represented by American Depositary Shares, each representing four (4) Shares (the “ADSs”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than the Excluded Shares shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive US$0.5125 in cash per Share without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”). As each ADS represents four (4) Shares, each ADS issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than ADSs that represent Excluded Shares) shall represent the right to receive US$2.05 in cash per ADS without interest (the “Per ADS Merger Consideration” and together with the Per Share Merger Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”), pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the deposit agreement filed with the SEC on June 28, 2010 (the “Deposit Agreement”), by and between the Company and Citibank, N.A.(the “Depositary”). At the Effective Time, all of the Shares, including Shares represented by ADSs, shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and the register of members of the Surviving Corporation will be amended accordingly. Shares formerly represented by a certificate (a “Share Certificate”) and non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) (other than Excluded Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration without interest, and any Dissenting Shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable payments set forth in Section 3.2(f). “Excluded Shares” means, collectively, (i) Shares beneficially owned (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by Mr. Simon Yiming Ma, Ms. Heidi Chou, and Mr. Yuhui Wang or any Person controlled by any of them prior to the Effective Time (“Founder Shares”), (ii) Shares beneficially owned by certain holders of Shares (the “Rollover Shareholders”) as set forth on Appendix 2 hereto (the “Rollover Shares”) and (iii) Shares (“Dissenting Shares”) owned by holders of Shares who have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their appraisal rights pursuant to Section 179 of the BVI Companies Act (“Dissenting Shareholders”). In the event that the Company changes the number of Shares, the ratio of Shares represented by each ADS or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Shares issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a reclassification, share split (including a reverse share split), share dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, issuer self-tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, the Per Share Merger Consideration and the Per ADS Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change and as so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such change, be the Per Share Merger Consideration or the Per ADS Merger Consideration, as applicable.

(b) Cancellation of Excluded Shares. Each Excluded Share (including ADSs that represent Excluded Shares but excluding the Dissenting Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the party of its holder, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and no consideration shall be delivered with respect thereto.

(c) Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, each ordinary share, with no par value, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid and non-assessable ordinary share, with no par value, of the Surviving Corporation. Such ordinary shares shall be the only issued and outstanding share capital of the Surviving Corporation and this will be reflected in the register of members of the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time.

(d) Untraceable and Dissenting Shareholders. Remittances for the Merger Consideration shall not be sent to holders of Shares who are untraceable unless and until, except as provided below, they notify the Paying Agent of their current contact details prior to the Effective Time. A holder of Shares will be deemed to be untraceable if (i) he has no registered address in the register of members (or branch register) maintained by the Company or, (ii) on the last two consecutive occasions on which a dividend has been paid by the Company a cheque payable to such shareholder either (A) has been sent to such Person and has been returned undelivered or has not been cashed or, (B) has not been sent to such Person because on an earlier occasion a cheque for a dividend so payable has been returned undelivered, and in any such case no valid claim in respect thereof has been communicated in writing to the Company or, (C) notice of the Shareholders’ Meeting has been sent to such Person and has been returned undelivered. Monies due to Dissenting Shareholders and holders of Shares who are untraceable and any monies which are returned shall be held by the Surviving Corporation in a separate non-interest bearing bank account for the benefit of Dissenting Shareholders and holders of Shares who are untraceable. Monies unclaimed after a period of seven (7) years from the date of the notice of the Shareholders’ Meeting shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Surviving Corporation. Dissenting Shareholders and holders of Shares who are untraceable who subsequently wish to receive any monies otherwise payable in respect of the Merger within applicable time limits or limitation periods should be advised to contact the Surviving Corporation.

3.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a commercial bank or trust company which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for making the payments required to be made pursuant to this Agreement, and shall enter into an agreement with the Paying Agent in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within (x) five (5) Business Days in the case of registered holders of the Shares and (y) three (3) Business Days in the case of the Depository Trust Company on behalf of the holders holding the Shares through brokers, nominees, custodians or through a Third Party), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail (or, in the case of the Depository Trust Company, to deliver), to each person who was, at the Effective Time, a registered holder of Shares entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(a): (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form for a company listed on the NYSE reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company, and shall specify the manner in which the delivery of the Exchange Fund to registered holders of the Shares shall be effected and contain such other provisions as Parent and the Company may mutually agree); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of any issued Share Certificates (or affidavits and indemnities of loss in lieu of the Share Certificates as provided in Section 3.2(e)) and Book-Entry Shares and/or such other documents as may be required in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of, if applicable, a Share Certificate (or affidavit and indemnity of loss in lieu of the Share Certificate as provided in Section 3.2(e)) or Book-Entry Shares and/or such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, each registered holder of the Shares represented by such Share Certificate and each registered holder of Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a cheque, in the amount (after giving effect to any required tax withholdings as provided in Section 3.2(h)) equal to (x) the number of Shares represented by such Share Certificate (or affidavit and indemnity of loss in lieu of the Share Certificate as provided in Section 3.2(e)) or the number of Book-Entry Shares multiplied by (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration, and the Share Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be marked as cancelled. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall establish procedures with the Paying Agent and the Depositary to ensure that (A) the Paying Agent will transmit to the Depositary as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time an amount in cash in immediately available funds equal to the product of (x) the number of ADSs issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than ADSs representing the Excluded Shares) and (y) the Per ADS Merger Consideration, and (B) the Depositary will distribute the Per ADS Merger Consideration to holders of ADSs pro rata to their holdings of ADSs (other than ADSs representing the Excluded Shares) upon surrender by them of the ADSs.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments of the Exchange Fund) that remains unclaimed by the holders of Shares or ADSs for nine (9) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation. Any holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) and ADSs who has not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article III upon due surrender of its Share Certificates (or affidavit and indemnity of loss in lieu of the Share Certificates as provided in Section 3.2(e)) or Book-Entry Shares, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Paying Agent, the Depositary or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares or ADSs for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, bona vacantia, escheat or similar Laws.

Subject to the last sentence of Section 3.2(f), if, after the Effective Time, any Share Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent for transfer or any other reason, such Share Certificate shall be cancelled and shall be exchanged for the cash amount in immediately available funds to which the holder of the Share Certificate is entitled pursuant to this Article III.

Each of Parent, the Company and the Paying Agent, without double counting, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares, ADSs, or Company Options such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under applicable Tax Law; provided that, as of the date of this Agreement, neither Parent nor the Company is aware of any obligation under applicable Tax Law to deduct or withhold from the consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to such Persons other than (i) backup withholding under Section 3406 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the U.S. Treasury Regulations thereunder with respect to a holder of Shares or ADSs that does not provide a valid IRS Form W-8 or IRS Form W-9 and (ii) any Taxes required to be withheld from any consideration treated as compensation under applicable Tax Law.

If such obligation to deduct or withhold can be reduced or eliminated through the provision of an applicable certification or form, Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to provide the applicable holder of Shares, ADSs or Company Options with the opportunity to complete and provide such certification or form prior to the Closing Date. To the extent that any amounts are deducted and withheld by Parent, the Company or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by Parent, the Company or the Paying Agent to the applicable Governmental Entity and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares, ADSs or Company Options in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

6.2 Acquisition Proposals.

(a) Solicitation Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and continuing until 11:59 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on the day that is thirty (30) days following the date of this Agreement (the “Go-Shop Period End Date”), the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives shall have the right (acting under the direction of the Independent Committee) to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, facilitate and encourage any Acquisition Proposal, including by way of providing access to information to any Person (each, a “Solicited Person”) pursuant to one or more confidentiality agreements on terms at least as restrictive as those contained in Section 9.12, provided that any material non-public information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries provided to such Solicited Person given such access shall, to the extent not previously provided to Parent or Merger Sub, be provided to Parent as promptly as reasonably practicable after it is provided to such Solicited Person; (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or otherwise cooperate with, assist, participate in, facilitate or take any other action in connection with any such inquiries, proposals, discussions or negotiations or any effort or attempt to make any Acquisition Proposal. Within forty-eight (48) hours following the Go-Shop Period End Date, the Company shall notify Parent of the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposals (including any amendments or modifications thereof) received from any Excluded Party and the identity thereof. The Company shall immediately cease any discussions with any Person (other than Parent and any Excluded Party) that are ongoing as of the Go-Shop Period End Date and that relate, or may reasonably be expected, to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, except as otherwise expressly provided in Sections 6.2(b) and 6.2(c).

(b) No Solicitation or Negotiation. The Company agrees that, immediately after the Go-Shop Period End Date until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of the officers and directors of it or any of its Subsidiaries shall, and that it shall instruct and cause its and its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly: (A) initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal; or (B) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or provide any non-public information to any Third Party with the intent to induce the making, submission or announcement of, or the intent to encourage or assist, an Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may take and continue to take any of the actions described in Section 6.2(a) and, subject to Section 6.2(c), from and after the Go-Shop Period End Date with respect to any Solicited Person that, prior to the Go-Shop Period End Date, has made a bona fide Acquisition Proposal that the Independent Committee determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal (each such Solicited Person, an “Excluded Party”). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.2(b) to the contrary, any Excluded Party shall cease to be an Excluded Party for all purposes under this Agreement immediately at such time as the Acquisition Proposal made by such party is withdrawn, is terminated or expires, or the Independent Committee determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute, or ceases to be reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal (a “Terminated Acquisition Proposal”). After the Go-Shop Period End Date, other than with respect to Persons who at the Go-Shop Period End Date are Excluded Parties, and at any subsequent time with respect to any Person (including a formerly Excluded Party) that has made an Acquisition Proposal that becomes a Terminated Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any solicitation, encouragement, discussion or negotiation with such Person conducted theretofore by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and shall use reasonable best efforts to require such Person to promptly return or destroy any confidential information previously furnished by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, at any time prior to the receipt of the Requisite Company Vote, if the Company has otherwise complied in all material respects with Section 6.2(b), (i) following receipt by the Company of an Acquisition Proposal from any Person, the Company and its Representatives may contact such Person solely in order to (A) clarify and understand the terms and conditions of any Acquisition Proposal made by such Person so as to determine whether such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal and (B) notify such Person of the restrictions of this Section 6.2; and (ii) the Company may (A) provide information in response to a request therefor by a Person (other than any Affiliate of the Company) who has made such an Acquisition Proposal that the Independent Committee believes in good faith to be bona fide and if the Company receives from the Person so requesting such information an executed confidentiality agreement containing terms at least as restrictive as those contained in Section 9.12; and promptly discloses (and, if applicable, provides copies of) any such information to Parent and Merger Sub to the extent not previously provided to Parent and Merger Sub; (B) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person who has made such an Acquisition Proposal of the type described in clause (ii)(A) above; or (C) after having complied with this Section 6.2(c), approve, recommend, or otherwise declare advisable or propose to approve, recommend or declare advisable (publicly or otherwise) such an Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that (x) in each such case referred to in clause (ii)(A) or (ii)(B) above, the Independent Committee has determined in good faith based on the information then available (and after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal; and (y) in the case referred to in clause (ii)(C) above, the Independent Committee determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal.

(d) No Company Adverse Recommendation or Alternative Acquisition Agreement. The board of directors of the Company and the Independent Committee shall not:

(i) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub the Company Recommendation with respect to the Merger; or

(ii) except as expressly permitted by, and after compliance with, Section 8.3(a), cause or permit the Company to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or other agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 6.2(c) entered into in compliance with this Section 6.2) relating to any Acquisition Proposal (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, prior to the time, but not after, the Requisite Company Vote is obtained, the board of directors of the Company, based on the recommendation of the Independent Committee, may (x) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify the Company Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, and/or authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii) or (y) approve, recommend or otherwise declare advisable any Superior Proposal not solicited, entered into or agreed to in breach of this Section 6.2, and/or authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii) or enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, in each case, if the board of directors of the Company (acting through the Independent Committee) determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel to the Independent Committee, that failing to do so is inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Laws (a “Company Adverse Recommendation”); provided, however, that prior to making any Company Adverse Recommendation, (i) the Company and the Independent Committee shall give Parent and Merger Sub at least three (3) Business Days written notice advising that the Company (acting through the Independent Committee) (the “Notice of Superior Proposal”) currently intends to take such action and the basis therefor, including all required information under Section 6.2(f), (ii) during the three (3) Business Day period following Parent’s and Merger Sub’s receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate with Parent and Merger Sub in good faith (to the extent Parent and Merger Sub desire to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (iii) following the end of the three (3) Business Day period, the Company shall have determined in good faith, taking into account any changes to this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent and Merger Sub in response to the Notice of Superior Proposal or otherwise, that the Acquisition Proposal giving rise to the Notice of Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal. Any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 6.2 and shall require a new Notice of Superior Proposal to Parent and Merger Sub as contemplated by Section 6.2(f); and the Company shall be required to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.2 fully with respect to such amended Acquisition Proposal.

(e) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Section 6.2 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from complying with its disclosure obligations under United States federal or state Law, or other applicable Laws, with regard to an Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that if such disclosure includes a Company Adverse Recommendation, Parent and Merger Sub shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 8.1(c) (it being understood that a statement by the Company that describes the Company’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto, or any “stop, look or listen” communication that contains only the information set forth in Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act shall not be deemed a Change of Company Recommendation).

(f) Notice. After the Go-Shop Period End Date, the Company agrees that it will promptly (and, in any event, within 48 hours) notify Parent and Merger Sub in writing if any proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are initially received by, any such information is initially requested from, or any such discussions or negotiation are initially sought to be initiated or continued with, it or any of its Representatives (in each case received after the Go-Shop Period End Date) indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person, the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers and whether the Company has any intention to provide confidential information to such Person, and thereafter shall use reasonable efforts to keep Parent and Merger Sub informed, on a reasonably current basis (and in any event within 48 hours of the occurrence of any material changes, developments, discussions or negotiations) of the status and material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal and of any material changes in the status and material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within 48 hours) notify Parent and Merger Sub in writing if it determines to initiate actions concerning an Acquisition Proposal as permitted by this Section 6.2. The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Person subsequent to the date hereof that prohibits the Company from providing such information to Parent or Merger Sub.

6.3 Preparation of the Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3. (a) Proxy Statement. As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall, with assistance and cooperation of Parent and Merger Sub, prepare the Proxy Statement. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish all information as the Company may reasonably request in connection with such actions and the preparation of the Proxy Statement.

(b) Schedule 13E-3. Concurrently with the preparation of the Proxy Statement, the Company shall, with assistance and cooperation of Parent and Merger Sub, prepare and file with the SEC the Schedule 13E-3. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall cooperate with the Company in the preparation of the Schedule 13E-3, including, without limitation, furnishing to the Company the information relating to it required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Schedule 13E-3.

(c) SEC Comments. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to resolve and respond to as promptly as practicable any comments made by the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement and/or the Schedule 13E-3. The Company will advise Parent, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of any request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement and/or the Schedule 13E-3 or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information and will promptly supply Parent with copies of all material correspondence between the Company and the SEC or its staff, with respect to the Proxy Statement, the Schedule 13E-3 or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Prior to mailing the Proxy Statement and filing the Schedule 13E-3 or any other required filings (or, in each case, any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, the Company shall provide Parent with an opportunity to review and comment on such document or response and shall include in such document or response comments reasonably proposed by Parent. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to mail the Proxy Statement and all other proxy materials to the holders of Company Shares as promptly as practicable after having cleared SEC comments on the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3; provided that the Company shall not be required to mail the Proxy Statement on or before the Go-Shop Period End Date. If necessary in order to comply with applicable securities Laws, after the Proxy Statement shall have been so mailed, the Company shall promptly circulate amended, supplemental or supplemented proxy material, and, if required in connection therewith, re-solicit proxies.

(d) Information Supplied. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable efforts so that neither the Schedule 13E-3 nor the Proxy Statement will, with respect to the Schedule 13E-3, as of the date it and any amendment or supplement to it is filed with the SEC or, with respect to the Proxy Statement, at the time of each of (a) the mailing of the Proxy Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto and (b) the Shareholders’ Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representation with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference therein based on information supplied by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3. The Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3 will comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act.

6.4 Shareholders’ Meeting. (a) The Company will take, in accordance with applicable Law and its memorandum and articles of association, all actions necessary to convene an extraordinary general meeting (the “Shareholders’ Meeting”) as promptly as reasonably practicable after the SEC confirms that it has no further comments on the Schedule 13E-3 and Proxy Statement to consider and vote upon the approval and authorization of this Agreement and the Plan of Merger; provided that the Company shall not be required to call, give notice of or hold the Shareholders’ Meeting on or before the Go-Shop Period End Date. The Company may adjourn or postpone the Shareholders’ Meeting to the extent necessary to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to its shareholders within a reasonable number of days prior to the Shareholders’ Meeting, and the Company may adjourn or postpone the Shareholders’ Meeting if as of the time for which the Shareholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Shareholders’ Meeting or if the Company deems necessary to solicit more proxies.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event the Company effects a Company Adverse Recommendation in accordance with Section 6.2(c), the Company shall have the right not to submit this Agreement to the holders of Shares for the approval at, and shall have the right not to hold the Shareholders’ Meeting.

6.5 Filings; Other Actions; Notification.

(a) Cooperation. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub and their respective Representatives shall cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) their respective reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under this Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable, including preparing, execution and filing as promptly as reasonably practicable all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings and to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any Third Party and/or any Governmental Entity in order to consummate the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

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

(c) Status. Subject to applicable Laws and as required by any Governmental Entity, the Company, on the one hand, Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall keep each other reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications received by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, as the case may be, or any of its Subsidiaries, from any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company shall give reasonably prompt notice to Parent and Merger Sub of any change, fact or condition that is reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or of any failure of any condition to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s respective obligations to effect the Merger. Parent and Merger Sub shall give reasonably prompt notice to the Company of any change, fact or condition that is reasonably expected to prevent or materially impair the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or of any failure of any condition to the Company’s obligations to effect the Merger.

6.6 Access and Reports. (a) Subject to applicable Law, upon reasonable advance notice from Parent, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to (i) afford Parent’s officers and other authorized Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, upon reasonable prior notice, to its employees, properties, books, Contracts and records and, (ii) during such period, furnish as promptly as reasonably practicable to Parent and their authorized Representatives all information concerning its business, properties and personnel as may reasonably be requested in writing; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide access to or disclose any information if such access or disclosure would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, violate any Contract, Law or Judgment, or give a Third Party the right to terminate or accelerate the rights under a Contract.

(b) All information obtained by Parent pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be deemed as Confidential Information and shall be kept confidential in accordance with Section 9.12 of this Agreement. Parent shall be responsible for any unauthorized disclosure by its Representatives of any such information provided or made available pursuant to this Section 6.6.

6.7 Stock Exchange Delisting. Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of the NYSE to cause the delisting of the Shares from the NYSE and the deregistration of the Company under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

6.8 Publicity. The initial press release regarding the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release, mutually agreed upon by the Company and Parent. After the initial press release, so long as this Agreement is in effect, the Company and Parent shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases or otherwise making public announcements with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and prior to making any filings with any Governmental Entity (including any national securities exchange or interdealer quotation service) with respect thereto, except as may be required by Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange or interdealer quotation service or by the request of any Governmental Entity.

6.9 Financing.

(a) Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to arrange and obtain the Financing in a timely manner, including to (i) negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) prior to the Closing with respect to the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter, (ii) maintain in effect the Financing Documents, the Facility Agreement or the Alternative Financing Documents, as applicable, (iii) satisfy, or cause its Representatives to satisfy, on a timely basis all conditions in the Financing Documents, the Facility Agreement or the Alternative Financing Documents, as applicable, (iv) cause the Lender and any other Persons providing the Debt Financing to fund the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing, (v) cause Zoyi Management Consulting, Ltd. to fund the Equity Financing at or prior to the Closing, and (vi) subject to the terms and conditions of the Financing Documents, the Facility Agreement or the Alternative Financing Documents, as applicable, draw upon and consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing.

(b) In the event that any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable in the manner or from the sources contemplated in the Financing Documents despite Parent’s reasonable best efforts to obtain the Financing, (i) Parent shall promptly notify the Company, and (ii) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange to obtain any such portion of the Financing from alternative sources, on terms that are no less favorable in the aggregate to Parent (the “Alternative Financing”), as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, including entering into definitive agreements with respect thereto (the “Alternative Financing Documents”). In connection with its obligations under this Section 6.9, Parent shall be permitted to amend, modify or replace the Financing Documents or the Facility Agreement; provided, however, that the amendment, modification or replacement shall comply with this Section 6.9. Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall keep the Company reasonably informed of all the material steps for arranging the Alternative Financing, if applicable and provide to the Company copies of the Contracts for the Alternative Financing.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and Merger Sub shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision under, the Financing Documents, the Facility Agreement or the Alternative Debt Financing Documents if such amendment, modification or waiver (i) reduces (or could have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of the Financing (including by increasing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount unless the Financing is increased by a corresponding amount or additional Financing is otherwise made available to fund such fees or original issue discount), or (ii) imposes new or additional conditions or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any of the conditions to the Financing, or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any other provisions of the Financing Documents, the Facility Agreement or the Alternative Debt Financing Documents in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (x) delay or prevent or make less likely the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to the Financing) on the Closing Date or (y) materially adversely impact the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against other parties to the Financing Documents, the Facility Agreement or the Alternative Debt Financing Documents. Parent shall give the Company prompt notice of any actual or potential breach by any party under the Financing Documents, the Facility Agreement or the Alternative Debt Financing Documents or any potential breach by any party under the Financing Documents, the Facility Agreement or the Alternative Debt Financing Documents or any potential dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Financing Documents of which Parent or Merger Sub becomes aware or any communications from the Lender to the effect that the Lender may not provide any portion of the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter or the Facility Agreement.

(d) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to use its reasonable best efforts to, cooperate, in each case at Parent’s sole expense, in connection with the arrangement of the Financing as may be reasonably requested by the Lender or any alternative sources arranged by Parent in compliance with Section 6.9(a); provided, however, that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Such cooperation by the Company and its Subsidiaries shall include, at the request of the Lender or any alternative sources arranged by Parent in compliance with Section 6.9(a), (i) delivering such officer’s and other certificates (and related documents thereto) as reasonably required by the Lender or any alternative sources arranged by Parent in compliance with Section 6.9(a) and as are, in the good faith determination of the persons executing such certificates, accurate, (ii) entering into such agreements and arrangements as reasonably required by the Lender or any alternative sources arranged by Parent in compliance with Section 6.9(a), including agreements to pledge, guarantee, grant security interests in, and otherwise grant Liens on, the Company’s or its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries’ assets; provided, however, that no obligation of the Company or its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries under any such agreement, pledge, guarantee or grant contemplated by this clause (ii) shall be effective until the Effective Time, (iii) providing Parent as promptly as practicable with financial and other pertinent information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries as reasonably required by Parent, the Lender, or any alternative sources arranged by Parent in compliance with Section 6.9(a), (iv) making the Company’s executive officers and other relevant employees reasonably available to assist the Lender providing the Debt Financing, and (v) taking all corporate actions, subject to the occurrence of the Closing, reasonably requested by Parent to permit consummation of the Financing and the direct borrowing or incurrence of all proceeds of the Financing by the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time.

(e) Parent shall promptly, upon the termination of this Agreement, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the cooperation of the Company and its Subsidiaries contemplated by this Section 6.9 and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all liabilities or losses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information used in connection therewith (except with respect to any information provided by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries). Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives shall not, prior to the Effective Time, incur any liability to any person under any financing that Parent and Merger Sub may raise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of the Financing or any Alternative Financing is not a condition to the Closing, and reaffirms its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder irrespective and independent of the availability of the Financing or any Alternative Financing, subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Article VII, the breach of which obligation will give rise to the remedies set forth in Section 8.3 or Section 9.11, as applicable.

6.10 Expenses. Whether or not the Merger is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such expense except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

6.11 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) The indemnification, advancement and exculpation provisions of certain indemnification agreements by and among the Company and its directors and certain executive officers, as in effect at the Effective Time shall survive the Merger and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who are current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company or any person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Parties”). The Memorandum and Articles of Association will contain provisions with respect to exculpation and indemnification that are at least as favorable to the directors, officers or employees of the Company as those contained in the memorandum and articles of association of the Company as in effect on the date hereof, except to the extent prohibited by the BVI Companies Act or any other applicable Law, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnified Parties, unless such modification is required by Law.

(b) From and after the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall comply with all of the Company’s obligations, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to comply with their respective obligations to indemnify and hold harmless (including any obligations to advance funds for expenses) (i) the Indemnified Parties thereof against any and all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (“Damages”), arising out of, relating to or in connection with (A) the fact that an Indemnified Party is or was a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) any acts or omissions occurring or alleged to occur prior to or at the Effective Time to the extent provided under the Company’s or such Subsidiaries’ respective organizational and governing documents or agreements in effect on the date hereof and to the fullest extent permitted by the BVI Companies Act or any other applicable Law, including (x) the approval of this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or arising out of or pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (y) actions to enforce this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any Indemnified Party; provided, however, that such indemnification shall be subject to any limitation imposed from time to time under applicable Law; and (ii) such Indemnified Parties against any and all Damages arising out of acts or omissions in connection with such persons serving as an officer, director or other fiduciary in any entity if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c) The Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (including for acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) covering each Indemnified Parties covered as of the Effective Time by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof for a period of six years after the Effective Time; provided, however, that, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in any one year an amount in excess of 300% of the current annual premium paid by the Company for such insurance. Alternatively, the Company may and, at Parent’s request, the Company will, purchase a six-year “tail” prepaid policy prior to the Effective Time on terms with respect to the coverage and amounts that are equivalent to those of the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company. If such “tail” prepaid policies have been obtained by the Company prior to the Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the respective obligations thereunder, and all other obligations under this Section 6.11(c) shall terminate.

(d) If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then the obligations of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, that are set forth under this Section 6.11 shall survive, and to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.11.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.11 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their heirs and legal representatives, each of which shall be a third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 6.11.

(f) The agreements and covenants contained in this Section 6.11 shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any such Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors and employees.

6.12 Resignations. To the extent requested by Parent in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, on the Closing Date, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to Parent duly signed resignations, effective as of the Effective Time, of the directors of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company designated by Parent.

6.13 Participation in Litigation. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, and the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, of any Actions commenced or, to the Company’s Knowledge on the one hand and Parent’s Knowledge on the other hand, threatened against such party which relate to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any shareholder litigation against the Company and/or its directors relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and no such litigation shall be settled without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

6.14 Actions Taken at the Direction of Certain Company Officers.

(i) if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before June 18, 2014 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(i) shall not be available to a party if the failure of the Merger to have been consummated on or before the Termination Date was primarily due to the breach or failure of such party to perform in any material respect any of its obligations under this Agreement;

(i) if the representations and warranties of Parent or Merger Sub shall have become untrue after the date of this Agreement or Parent or Merger Sub shall have breached or failed to perform any of their covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which failure to be true and correct, breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 and (B) cannot be cured by the Termination Date, or if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within thirty (30) Business Days following receipt by Parent or Merger Sub of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from the Company stating the Company’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) and the basis for such termination (or, if earlier, the Termination Date); provided, however, that, the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) if it is then in material breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements hereunder that would result in the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 not being satisfied;

(ii) prior to obtaining the Requisite Company Vote, the board of directors of the Company (upon the recommendation of the Independent Committee) has effected a Company Adverse Recommendation and/or authorized termination of this Agreement in order to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement relating to a Superior Proposal; provided that the Company has complied in all material respects with Section 6.2; or

8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of a valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, written notice thereof shall be given to the other party or parties, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and there shall be no liability on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or their respective Representatives, except that (i) this Section 8.2, Section 8.3, Article IX (in the case of Section 9.11, solely with respect to enforcement of the payment obligations in Section 8.3) shall remain in full force and effect and survive termination of this Agreement and (ii) nothing shall relieve any party from liability for fraud.

8.3 Termination Fee.

(a) In the event that:

(i) (A) a bona fide Acquisition Proposal shall have been made, proposed or communicated (and not withdrawn) by a Third Party after the date hereof and prior to the Shareholders’ Meeting (or prior to the termination of this Agreement if there has been no Shareholders’ Meeting), (B) following the occurrence of an event described in the preceding clause (A), this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i) or Section 8.1(b)(iii), and (C) within twelve (12) months of the termination of this Agreement, any Acquisition Proposal by such Third Party is entered into or consummated by the Company; or

(ii) this Agreement is terminated (A) by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(c) or (B) by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii);

then, in any such event under clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 8.3(a), the Company shall pay if and as directed by Parent or its designee a cash amount equal to US$3,000,000 (the “Tier I Termination Fee”) to Parent or its designee by wire transfer of same day funds; provided, however, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, if this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company in connection with an Acquisition Proposal received by the Company on or before the Go-Shop Period End Date, then the Company shall pay if and as directed by Parent or its designee a cash amount equal to US$1,500,000 (the “Tier II Termination Fee” and collectively with the Tier I Termination Fee, the “Company Termination Fee”) to Parent or its designee by wire transfer of same day funds in lieu of, and not in addition to, the Tier I Termination Fee. The Company shall pay the Company Termination Fee within five (5) Business Days following such termination, in the case of a termination referred to in clause (ii), or within five (5) Business Days after the earlier of the date on which an agreement is entered into with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or an Acquisition Proposal is consummated in the case of clause (i); it being understood that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion. Subject to Section 9.11, if the Company pays the Company Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 8.3(a), then any such payment shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Parent and Merger Sub with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In the event that Parent or its designee seeks or receives full payment of the Company Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 8.3(a), the receipt of the Company Termination Fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent, Merger Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of Parent, Merger Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against the Company or any of its Representatives arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (or the abandonment or termination thereof) or any matters forming the basis for such termination; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.3(a) shall limit the rights of Parent and Merger Sub under Section 9.11.

(b) In the event that the Company shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i) or Section 8.1(d)(iii), Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the Company or its designee promptly (but in any event no later than five (5) Business Days) after the Company validly terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i) or Section 8.1(d)(iii), a termination fee equal to US$3,000,000 (the “Parent Termination Fee”), which amount shall be payable in cash in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to an account or accounts designated in writing by the Company.

(c) Each of the parties hereto acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the Merger, and that without these agreements the other parties would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company or Parent, as the case may be, fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.3, and, in order to obtain the payment, Parent or the Company, as the case may be, commences an Action which results in a judgment against the other party, with respect to Parent or Merger Sub, or parties, with respect to the Company for the payment set forth in this Section 8.3, such paying party shall pay the other party or parties, as applicable, its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Action, together with interest on such amount at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment is actually received.
