7. Rights Upon Issuance of Other Securities.

(a) Adjustments of Conversion Price upon Stock Splits and Combinations.

(i) If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, effect a stock split of the outstanding Shares, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately decreased. For example, a 2:1 stock split shall result in a decrease in the Conversion Price by one half, taking into account all prior adjustments made thereto under this Section 7. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, combine the outstanding Shares, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased. For example, a 1:2 combination shall result in an increase in the Conversion Price by a multiple of 2, taking into account all prior adjustments made thereto under this Section 7.

(b) Adjustments for Dividends and Distributions of Shares. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Shares entitled to receive a dividend or distribution payable in Shares, then the Conversion Price shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, as the case may be, plus the number of Shares issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

(c) Adjustment for Certain Fundamental Transactions. Without prejudice to the generality of Section 6(b), if at any time or from time to time after the

EXHIBIT A - 8

Issuance Date there shall occur any Fundamental Transaction (any such event, a “Reorganization Adjustment Event”) involving the Company in which Shares are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by Section 7(a) or Section 7(b)), then, following any such Reorganization Adjustment Event, this Note shall thereafter be convertible (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note), in lieu of the Shares, into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of Shares of the Company issuable upon conversion of this Note immediately prior to such Reorganization Adjustment Event would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction. In each such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions in Section 7 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder, to the end that the provisions set forth in Section 7 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments to the Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably practicable, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of this Note.

(d) Other Events. In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary) takes any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of Section 7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), which has the direct or indirect effect of adversely affecting the Holder’s proportionate interest in the equity of the Company, then, to the extent that the Holder’s proportionate interest in the equity of the Company is so adversely affected thereby an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made so as to protect the rights of the Holder under this Note.

(e) Successive Adjustments; Multiple Adjustments. After an adjustment is made to the Conversion Price under Section 7, any subsequent event requiring an adjustment under Section 7 shall cause an adjustment to such Conversion Price, as so adjusted.

(f) Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price, or the number of Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and deliver to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request of the Holder at any time, deliver to the Holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and readjustments, the Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the number of Shares and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this Note.

8. Avoidance of Obligations. Save as required by law, the Company shall not, by amendment of its Charter Documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action (including entering into any agreement which would limit or restrict the Company’s ability to perform under this Note), avoid or seek to avoid the

EXHIBIT A - 9

observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and shall at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of the Transaction Documents and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder under this Note.

9. Reservation of Authorized Shares.

(a) Reservation. The Company shall initially reserve out of its authorized and unissued share capital a number of Shares for each of the Notes equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the number of Shares as shall be necessary to effect the conversion of each such Note as of the Issuance Date. So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued share capital, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Notes, one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the number of Shares as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Notes then outstanding, free from any Encumbrance; provided that at no time shall the number of Shares so reserved be less than the number of shares required to be reserved by the previous sentence (without regard to any limitations on conversions) (the “Required Reserve Amount”). In the event that the Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer this Note, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the Required Reserve Amount. The initial number of Shares reserved for conversions of the Notes and each increase in the number of Shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Notes based on the Principal held by each holder (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Notes, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any Shares reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Notes shall be allocated to the remaining holders of the Notes, pro rata based on the principal amount of the Notes then held by such holders.

c/x Xxxxxxx Corporate Services (Cayman) Limited

(the “Investor”)

Dear Sirs,

Re: China Cord Blood Corporation (the “Company”)

We have acted as special Cayman Islands legal counsel to the Company in connection with the issue by the Company of US$50,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 7.0% senior unsecured convertible notes due 2017 (the “Notes”) convertible into fully paid ordinary shares of par value US$0.0001 each (the “Shares”) in the capital of the Company.

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined copies of the following documents:

(i) a convertible note purchase agreement made between the Company and the Investor relating to the issue and subscription of the Notes dated [·] 2012 (the “Purchase Agreement”);

(ii) a registration rights agreement made between the Company and the Investor dated [·] 2012 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”); and

(iii) the definitive certificate in respect of the Notes issued by the Company in favour of the Investor dated [·] 2012 (the “Notes Certificate”).

The documents listed in items (i) to (iii) above are herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Documents” (which term does not include any other instrument or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto).

We have also reviewed the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company adopted by special resolution passed on 25 June 2009 and effective on 30 June 2009 (the “A&R M&As”), each certified by [a director/the Secretary] of the Company on [·] 2012, written resolutions of its directors dated [·]

Exhibit C - 1

2012 (the “Resolutions”), a Certificate of Good Standing issued by the Registrar of Companies in relation to the Company on [·] 2012 (the “Certificate Date”) and such other documents and made such enquiries as to questions of law as we have deemed necessary in order to render the opinion set forth below.

We have assumed (a) the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures and the conformity to the originals of all copies (whether or not certified) examined by us and the authenticity and completeness of the originals from which such copies were taken; (b) that where a document has been examined by us in draft form, it will be or has been executed in the form of that draft, and where a number of drafts of a document have been examined by us all changes thereto have been marked or otherwise drawn to our attention; (c) the capacity, power and authority of each of the parties to the Documents, other than the Company, to enter into and perform its respective obligations under the Documents; (d) the due execution and delivery of the Documents by each of the parties thereto, other than the Company, and the physical delivery thereof by the Company with an intention to be bound thereby; (e) the accuracy and completeness of all factual representations made in the Documents and other documents reviewed by us; (f) that the Resolutions were passed at one or more duly convened, constituted and quorate meetings or by unanimous written resolutions, remain in full force and effect and have not been rescinded or amended; (g) that there is no provision of the law of any jurisdiction, other than the Cayman Islands, which would have any implication in relation to the opinions expressed herein; (h) the validity and binding effect under the laws of the state of New York of the United States of America (the “Foreign Laws”) of the Documents which are expressed to be governed by such Foreign Laws in accordance with their respective terms; (i) the validity and binding effect under the Foreign Laws of the submission by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Notes Certificate to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States district court for the Southern District of New York, United States of America (the “District Court for the Southern District”); (j) the validity and binding effect under the Foreign Laws of the submission by the Company pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any federal court located in the State of New York or any New York state court having subject matter jurisdiction (the “New York Courts”) (the New York Courts and the District Court for the Southern District are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Foreign Courts”); (k) that on the date of entering into the Documents and issuing the Notes the Company is and after entering into the Documents and issuing the Notes will be able to pay its liabilities as they become due; (l) that upon conversion of any Notes into Shares of the Company (the “Conversion Shares”), the conversion price of the Note will not be less than the par value of the Shares of the Company; (m) that the total aggregate number of the Conversion Shares to be issued by the Company will not, as at the date of issue of the Notes and the date of the issue of the Conversion Shares, exceed the available number of Shares in the authorised and unissued share capital of the Company; and (n) the holders of the Notes (“Bondholders”) and the Conversion Shares are not and will not be residents of the Cayman Islands.

The term “enforceable” as used in this opinion means that an obligation is of a type which the courts of the Cayman Islands enforce. It does not mean that those obligations will be enforced in all circumstances in accordance with the terms of the

Exhibit C - 2

Documents and the Notes. In particular, the obligations of the Company under the Documents and the Notes (a) will be subject to the laws from time to time in effect relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, possessory liens, rights of set off, reorganisation, amalgamation, merger, consolidation, moratorium or any other laws or legal procedures, whether of a similar nature or otherwise, generally affecting the rights of creditors as well as applicable international sanctions; (b) will be subject to statutory limitation of the time within which proceedings may be brought; (c) will be subject to general principles of equity and, as such, specific performance and injunctive relief, being equitable remedies, may not be available; (d) may not be given effect to by a Cayman Islands court, whether or not it was applying the Foreign Laws, if and to the extent they constitute the payment of an amount which is in the nature of a penalty and not in the nature of liquidated damages; (e) may not be given effect by a Cayman Islands court to the extent that they are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands and such performance would be illegal under the laws of that jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any contractual submission to the jurisdiction of specific courts, a Cayman Islands court has inherent discretion to stay or allow proceedings in the Cayman Islands against the Company under the Documents and the Notes if there are other proceedings in respect of those Documents simultaneously underway against the Company in another jurisdiction.

We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of the Documents or the Notes which provides for the payment of a specified rate of interest on the amount of a judgment after the date of judgment. We express no opinion in respect of the enforceability of any provision in the Documents or the Notes which purports to xxxxxx the statutory powers of the Company or which purports to grant exclusive jurisdiction to any courts.

Any provision of a document governed by Cayman law expressly or impliedly providing that certain statements, calculations and/or certificates will be conclusive and binding may not be effective if such statements, calculations or certificates are incorrect on their face or fraudulent and will not necessarily prevent judicial enquiry into the merits of a claim of an aggrieved party. In addition an agreement, save for an agreement which is subject to statutory execution requirements, governed by Cayman law may be amended orally despite any provision to the contrary in such agreement, and the question of whether any provisions of such an agreement which may be illegal, invalid or ineffective may be severed from the other provisions of such agreement would be determined by the courts at their discretion.

We have made no investigation of and express no opinion in relation to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Cayman Islands. This opinion is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and is limited to and is given on the basis of the current law and practice in the Cayman Islands. This opinion is issued solely for your benefit and use in connection with the matter described herein and is not to be relied upon by any other person, firm or entity or in respect of any other matter.

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

Exhibit C - 3

1. As at the Certificate Date, the Company is duly incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability 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 which would make it liable to be struck off by the Registrar of Companies and thereby cease to exist under the laws of the Cayman Islands).

2. The Company has the necessary corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Documents and to create, offer, issue and perform its obligations under the Notes. The creation, issue and offer of the Notes by the Company and the execution and delivery of the Documents and the Notes by the Company and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder will not violate the A&R M&As nor any applicable law, regulation, order or decree in the Cayman Islands.

3. The Company has taken all corporate action required to authorise its execution, delivery and performance of the Documents and the Notes and its entry into, creation, issue and offer of the Notes. The 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.

4. No order, consent, approval, licence, authorisation or validation of or exemption by any government or public body or authority of the Cayman Islands or any sub-division thereof is required to authorise or is required in connection with the issue and offering of the Notes and the execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of the Documents and the Notes.

5. It is not necessary or desirable to ensure the enforceability in the Cayman Islands of the Documents or the Notes that they be registered in any register kept by, or filed with, any governmental authority or regulatory body in the Cayman Islands. However, to the extent that any of the Documents or the Notes create 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, Cap. 22 (Law 3 of 1961 as consolidated and revised)(the “Companies Law”). While there is no exhaustive definition of a charge under Cayman Islands law, a charge normally has the following characteristics:

(i) it is a proprietary interest granted by way of security which entitles the chargee to resort to the charged property only for the purposes of satisfying some liability due to the chargee (whether from the chargor or a third party); and

(ii) the chargor retains an equity of redemption to have the property restored to him when the liability has been discharged.

Exhibit C - 4

However, as the Documents and the Notes are governed by the Foreign Laws, the question of whether they would possess these particular characteristics would be determined under the Foreign Laws.

6. There is no income or other tax of the Cayman Islands imposed by withholding or otherwise on any payment to be made to or by the Company pursuant to the Documents or the Notes.

7. There is no stamp, registration or similar tax or duty to be paid on or in relation to the issue, execution, delivery, filing, registration or performance of any of the Documents or the Notes provided that they are executed and remain outside the Cayman Islands. If it becomes necessary to bring the Documents or the Notes into the Cayman Islands for enforcement or otherwise, nominal stamp duty will be payable on all Documents and the Notes. In the case of any Document or the Notes creating security over movable property situated in the Cayman Islands granted by an exempted company, an ordinary non-resident company or a foreign company, or over shares in an exempted company or an ordinary non-resident company, stamp duty will be payable on an ad valorem basis to a maximum of CI$500.00 (US$600.00). Apart from the payment of stamp duty, there are no acts, conditions or things required by the laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands to be done, fulfilled or performed in order to make any of the Documents or the Notes admissible in evidence in the Cayman Islands.

8. The choice of the Foreign Laws as the governing law of the Documents and the Notes 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 Documents and the Notes to the jurisdiction of the Foreign Courts is valid and binding upon the Company.

9. 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 Documents or the Notes 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) or, in certain circumstances, an in personam judgment for non-monetary relief, 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.

Exhibit C - 5

10. Based solely upon a search of the Register of Writs and other Originating Process of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands conducted at [·]a.m. on [·] 2012 (which would not reveal details of proceedings which have been filed but not actually entered in the Register of Writs and other Originating Process of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands at the time of our search or an originating process not otherwise entered prior to 8 December 2008), there are no actions pending against the Company nor any petitions to wind up the Company pending in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands to which the Company is subject.

11. 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 Documents or the Notes in respect of itself or its property.

12. The Investor will not be deemed to be resident, domiciled or carrying on business in the Cayman Islands by reason only of the execution, performance and/or enforcement of the Documents or the Notes or the holding of a Note or Conversion Share.

13. The Investor has standing to bring an action or proceedings before the appropriate courts in the Cayman Islands for the enforcement of the Documents or the Notes. It is not necessary or advisable in order for the Investor to enforce its rights under the Documents or the Notes, including the exercise of remedies thereunder that it be licensed, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in the Cayman Islands.

14. The obligations of the Company under the Documents and the Notes will rank at least pari passu in priority of payment with all other unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company, other than indebtedness which is preferred by virtue of any provision of the laws of the Cayman Islands of general application.

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

16. There are no exchange control restrictions in the Cayman Islands and accordingly there are no exchange control regulations imposed under Cayman Islands law.

17. When issued and paid for in accordance with the Documents and the Notes, the Conversion Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (which term when used herein means that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue thereof).

18. The Conversion Shares will, on the date they are issued, rank pari passu with all other issued Shares of the Company subject to the rights, privileges and restrictions set forth in the A&R M&As and are not subject to any

Exhibit C - 6

pre-emptive or similar rights under the Companies Law or pursuant to the A&R M&As.

19. There are no restrictions on the transfer of any of Shares under the Companies Law or the A&R M&As provided such transfer is effected in the manner set forth in and subject to the A&R M&As.

20. There are no limitations under the Companies Law or the A&R M&As on the rights of any holders of Shares to hold or vote Shares in accordance with the A&R M&As.

21. Based solely on our review of a copy of the A&R M&As , the share capital of the Company is US$25,100 divided into 251,000,000 shares of a nominal or par value of US$0.0001 each, of which 250,000,000 shall be Ordinary Shares, par value US$0.0001 each, and 1,000,000 shall be Preferred Shares, US$0.0001 each.

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

23. The appointment by the Company in the Documents of an agent to accept service of process in the Foreign Courts is legal, valid and binding on the Company assuming the same is true under the Foreign Laws.

Opinion

3. Based on the foregoing and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

3.1 Each of the Companies is a private company, has been duly incorporated with limited liability and is validly existing under the laws of Hong Kong, and has power to own its assets and legal capacity to xxx and be sued in its own name. Each of the Companies, based on the certificate referred to in paragraph 1.3, has been in continuous and unbroken existence since its date of incorporation and no action is currently being taken to strike any of the Companies off the register of companies maintained by the Companies Registry and dissolve any of the Companies as defunct;

3.2 Based solely on the statutory book of each of the Companies as referred to in paragraph 1.4 and the results of the Company Search as referred to in paragraph 1.6:

3.2.1 East HK has an authorized share capital of HK$10,000 divided into 10,000 ordinary shares of HK$1.00 each, and has issued 1,000 ordinary shares which are registered in the name of China Stem Cells Holdings Limited;

3.2.2 FF HK has an authorized share capital of HK$10,000 divided into 10,000 ordinary shares of HK$1.00 each, and has issued 8,300 ordinary shares which are registered in the name of China Stem Cells (East) Company Limited and 1,700 ordinary shares which are registered in the name of Cordlife Services (S) PTE. LTD., respectively;

3.2.3 North HK has an authorized share capital of HK$10,000 divided into 10,000 ordinary shares of HK$1.00 each, and has issued 1,000 ordinary shares which are registered in the name of China Stem Cells Holdings Limited;

3.2.4 South HK has an authorized share capital of US$50,000 divided into 50,000 ordinary shares of US$1.00 each, and has issued 1 ordinary share which is registered in the name of China Stem Cells Holdings Limited; and

3.2.5 West HK has an authorized share capital of HK$10,000 divided into 10,000 ordinary shares of HK$1.00 each, and has issued 1,000 ordinary shares which are registered in the name of China Stem Cells Holdings Limited.

3.3.2 any statutory declaration or statement of the directors of any Company under section 228A of the Companies Ordinance in connection with the voluntary winding up of any of the Companies by reason of its inability to continue its business; or

3.4 Based solely on the results of the Litigation Search and Winding-up Search, as at [ ] 2012, respectively, there were no actions, suits or proceedings before any court in Hong Kong against any of the Companies, no Company was a party to or subject to any judgment or order entered in any suit or proceeding brought before the courts in Hong Kong and no Company was involved in any winding up proceedings.

3.5 Based solely on the results of the Company Search, as at [ ] 2012, there were no mortgages and charges registered with the Companies Registry in respect of any of the Companies.

Qualifications

4. Our opinions set out herein are subject to the following qualifications and reservations:

4.1 We express no opinion as to any law other than the laws of Hong Kong.

4.2 We express no opinion as to matter of facts.

4.3 We express no opinion on the beneficial title to the issued shares in each of the Companies.

4.4 The Company Search and the Winding-up Search are not conclusively capable of revealing whether or not any Insolvency Event has occurred in respect of any of the Companies, because notice of these matters may not be filed with the Companies Registry or the Official Receiver’s Office immediately and, when filed, may not be entered on the public register of such Company immediately. In addition, those searches are not capable of revealing, prior to the making of the relevant order, whether or not a winding up application has been made.

NEW YORK LEGAL OPINION

[On the Letterhead of Loeb & Loeb]

[ ], 2012

GOLDEN MEDITECH HOLDINGS LIMITED

c/x Xxxxxxx Corporate Services (Cayman) Limited

X.X. Xxx 0000 XX Xxxxxxx Xxxxx

75 Fort Street, Xxxxxx Town

Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands

British West Indies

Re: China Cord Blood Corporation

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 3.1(n) of that certain Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of [ ], 2012 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among China Cord Blood Corporation, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated in the Cayman Islands (the “Company”) and GOLDEN MEDITECH HOLDINGS LIMITED, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated in the Cayman Islands (the “Investor”).

We have acted as special U.S. counsel for the Company in connection with the issuance of senior unsecured convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of US$50,000,000 (the “Notes”) which Notes are convertible into ordinary shares of US$0.0001 par value per share in the capital of the Company (the “Shares”) in accordance with the terms thereof.

As counsel, we have made such legal and factual examinations and inquiries as we have deemed advisable or necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion, including the review of the following documents (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”):

a. The Purchase Agreement;

b. The Notes; and

c. The Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of [ ], 2012 by and between the Company and the Investor.

In addition, we have examined, among other things, originals or copies of such corporate records of the Company, documents, certificates of public officials and such other documents and considered such questions of law that we deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion. As to questions of fact underlying our opinion, we have relied on the statements and certifications of, and other assurances

Exhibit E - 1

from, the executive officers and directors of the Company. In addition, we have relied upon the representations and warranties of the Company and other parties contained in the Transaction Documents and other documents we have requested and have assumed that such representations and warranties are accurate and complete and made in good faith. In such examination we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all copies submitted to us as copies thereof, the legal capacity of natural persons, that each corporate entity possesses all requisite power and authority to enter into the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents where due authorization, execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof, that such agreements are binding agreements with respect to all the parties thereto (other than the Company) and the effectiveness of the choice of New York law pursuant to Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York as the law governing the Transaction Documents in view of the constitutional limitations expressed in Xxxxxx Brothers Commercial Corporation et al v. Minmetals International Non-Ferrous Metals Trading Company, et al (179 F. Supp. 2d 118, S.D.N.Y. 2000).

As used in this opinion, the expression “to our knowledge” refers to the current actual knowledge of the attorneys of this firm who have worked on matters for the Company, and without any independent investigation of any underlying facts or situations.

Based on the foregoing and subject to the further comments and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party, each such Transaction Document constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

The foregoing opinions are qualified to the extent that (a) enforceability of any Transaction Document may be limited by and be subject to general principles of equity, regardless whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including, without limitation, concepts of notice and materiality), and by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ and debtors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, any state or federal law in respect of fraudulent transfers); (b) no opinion is expressed herein as to compliance with any federal or state consumer protection or antitrust laws, rules, or regulations or any municipal or local laws and ordinances; (c) no opinion is expressed herein as to the enforceability of the indemnification provisions contained in any of the Transaction Documents, to the extent such provisions may be unenforceable under federal securities laws or purport to indemnify a person against the person’s own wrongdoing; (d) no opinion is expressed as to compliance with or the effect of federal securities laws; (e) no opinion is expressed as to compliance with or the effect of state securities or blue sky laws; (f) no opinion is expressed as to the constitutionality of the application of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York to the choice of applicable law in the Transaction Documents; (g) no opinion is expressed as to the creation, perfection or enforceability of any security interest under the Transaction Documents; (h) no opinion is expressed as to the priority of any security interest under the Transaction Documents;

(i) no opinion is expressed herein as to federal and state laws, regulations and policies concerning (i) a national or local emergency, (ii) possible judicial deference to acts of sovereign states, (iii) civil and criminal forfeiture laws, or (iv) usury; (j) no opinion is expressed as to (i) survivability or severability provisions, (ii) any provision which provides that oral modifications will be unenforceable or which limits the applicability of the doctrine of promissory estoppel, (iii) choice of applicable law or venue provisions, (iv) any provision that prohibits assignment by operation of law or in any other respect that may be deemed unreasonable under the circumstances, or (v) any arbitration provisions; (k) no opinion is expressed as to matters relating to patents and intellectual property rights; (l) no opinion is expressed as to matters relating to agencies of the United States government, or comparable foreign governmental agencies; (m) no opinion is expressed as to the enforceability of any document, instrument or agreement other than the Transaction Documents; and (n) no opinion is expressed as to matters relating to the value of the consideration provided for the Notes.

Each of our opinions is subject to the effect of rules of law that: (a) limit or affect the enforcement of provisions of a contract that purport to waive, or require waiver of, the obligations of good faith, fair dealing, diligence and reasonableness; (b) limit the availability of a remedy under certain circumstances; (c) provide a time limitation after which a remedy may not be enforced; (d) may, where less than all of a contract may be unenforceable, limit the enforceability of the balance of the contract to circumstances in which the unenforceable portion is not an essential part of the agreed exchange; or govern and afford judicial discretion regarding the determination of damages and entitlement to attorneys’ fees and other costs.

None of the opinions in our letter covers or otherwise addresses any of the following types of provisions which may be contained in the Transaction Documents: (a) provisions providing that any person or entity may exercise set-off rights other than in accordance with and pursuant to applicable law; (b) provisions relating to the appointment of a receiver to the extent the appointment of a receiver is governed by statutory requirements, and to the extent such provisions are not controlling by law and may conflict with such statutory requirements relating to receiverships; (c) waivers of (i) legal or equitable defenses, (ii) rights to damages, (iii) rights to counter-claim or set-off, (iv) statutes of limitations, (v) rights to notice, (vi) the benefits of statutory, regulatory, or constitutional rights, unless and to the extent the statute, regulation, or constitution explicitly allows waiver, (vii) broadly or vaguely stated rights, and (viii) other benefits, in each case, to the extent they cannot be waived under applicable law; (d) provisions providing for forfeitures or the recovery of amounts deemed to constitute penalties, or for liquidated damages, acceleration of future amounts due (other than principal) without appropriate discount to present value, late charges, prepayment charges (to the extent any such charge is a penalty) and provisions which assure any party the availability of injunctive relief or specific performance as a specific remedy; (e) any of the following: agreements to submit to the jurisdiction of any particular court or other governmental authority, either as to personal jurisdiction or subject matter jurisdiction; provisions restricting access to courts; waiver of the right to jury trial; waiver of service of process requirements which would otherwise be applicable; and provisions otherwise purporting to affect the jurisdiction and venue of courts; (f) provisions that attempt to change or waive rules of evidence or fix the method or quantum of proof to be applied in litigation or similar proceedings; (g) provisions appointing one party as an attorney-in-fact for an

adverse party or providing that the decision of any particular person will be conclusive or binding on other; (h) provisions purporting to limit rights of third parties who have not consented thereto or purporting to grant rights to third parties; and (i) provisions, if any, which are contrary to the public policy of any jurisdiction.

The opinions we express above are based upon a review only of those laws, statutes, rules, ordinances and regulations which, in our experience, a lawyer who is a member of the bar of the State of New York exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably recognize as being applicable to the type of transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. We have not examined and we do not express any opinion herein concerning any laws other than the internal laws of the State of New York and, to the extent expressly set forth herein, the federal laws of the United States of America, and we express no opinion as to the extent to which the laws of any jurisdiction other than those identified above are applicable to the subject matter hereof.

We have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or nonexistence of other facts, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or nonexistence of other facts should be drawn from the fact of this firm’s representation of the Company. Except to the extent otherwise set forth above, for purposes of this opinion, we have not made an independent review of any contract or agreement that may have been executed by or that may now be binding upon the Company or that may bind its properties, nor have we undertaken to review any files of the Company relating to transactions to which the Company may be a party.

Nothing in this opinion should be interpreted as expressing any opinion as of any date later than the date of this opinion.

We express no opinion as to matters relating to any laws of the Cayman Islands, the People’s Republic of China or the Hong Kong SAR. Various matters concerning the laws of the Cayman Islands are addressed in the opinion of Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxx provided separately to you today. Various matters concerning the laws of the People’s Republic of China are addressed in the opinion of JunZeJun Law Firm provided separately to you today. Various matters concerning the laws of the Hong Kong SAR are addressed in the opinion of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx provided separately to you today.

This opinion is furnished to you solely for your benefit and only in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. This opinion is not to be used, disclosed, relied upon or otherwise referred to for any other purpose without our prior written consent.

	Very truly yours,

SECTION 2

GENERAL; SECURITIES SUBJECT TO THIS AGREEMENT

2.1 Grant of Rights. The Company hereby grants registration rights to the Designated Holders upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 3

MANDATORY REGISTRATION

3.1 Shelf Registration Statement. Not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the any Designated Holder serves a written demand to the Company (such 120th day, the “Required Filing Date”), the Company shall file with the SEC a registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) on Form F-3 (or any successor form thereto), or if Form F-3 may not be used by the Company pursuant to applicable law, on Form F-1 (or any successor form thereto), with respect to the resale, from time to time, of all of the Registrable Securities held by the Designated Holders, provided that such demand is with respect to at least one million of such Registrable Securities. The disposition of Registrable Securities from the Shelf Registration Statement may occur, at any time, in one or more underwritten offerings, block transactions, broker transactions, at-market transactions or in such other manner or manners as may be specified by the applicable Designated Holders.

3.2 Effective Shelf Registration Statement.

(a) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.4 and 7.5 hereof, until the earlier of (i) such time as all Registrable Securities registered thereunder are eligible for sale by a Designated Holder in the open market in a single transaction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (or any similar provision then in force) without being subject to the volume limitations thereof or (ii) all Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise pursuant an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (such period being the “Effectiveness Period”).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (other than Section 3.2(d) below), in the event the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities by or on behalf of the Company such that Rule 415 is not available to the Company

to register the resale of such Registrable Securities and, as a result, the Staff or the SEC does not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and used for resales in a manner that permits the continuous resale at the market by the Designated Holders participating therein (or as otherwise may be acceptable to each Designated Holder) without being named therein as an “underwriter,” then the Company shall reduce the number of shares to be included in such Registration Statement (in accordance with the following sentence) until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective as aforesaid. In making such reduction, the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included by all other Designated Holders on a pro rata basis (based upon the number of Registrable Securities otherwise required to be included for each such Designated Holder) unless the inclusion of shares by a particular Designated Holder or a particular set of Designated Holders results in the Staff or the SEC’s taking the position that the inclusion of such Registrable Securities by such Designated Holders would constitute a registration “by or on behalf of the Company,” in which event, the shares held by such Designated Holder or set of Designated Holders shall be the only shares subject to reduction. In addition, in the event that the Staff or the SEC requires any Designated Holder seeking to sell securities under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement to be specifically identified as an “underwriter” (an “Underwriter Identification”) in order to permit such Registration Statement to become effective, and such Designated Holder (subject to Section 3.2(d) below) does not consent to being so named as an underwriter in such Registration Statement, then, in each such case, the Company shall reduce the total number of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of such Designated Holder, only to the extent necessary as would cause the Staff or the SEC not to require such Underwriter Identification or until such Designated Holder accepts such Underwriter Identification and the manner thereof. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3.2(b), if requested by a Designated Holder holding Registrable Securities that were so excluded from such registration, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be registered to the greatest extent and at the earliest opportunity practicable and in any event not later than sixty (60) days after the earliest practicable date permitted under applicable guidance of the SEC and the Staff (and shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect additional registrations of Registrable Securities until all such securities have been included in additional Registration Statements).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Designated Holder shall have the right to require the Company to exclude all or any portion of such Designated Holder’s Registrable Securities from any Registration Statement, by written notice to the Company upon such Designated Holder’s reasonable belief that (i) inclusion of such Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement could subject such Designated Holder to underwriter liability, or (ii) the SEC or the Staff will impose material restrictions and terms on the disposition of such Registrable Securities. In such event, the Company shall be required to file a new Registration Statement for such excluded shares in accordance with Section 3.2(b).

(d) If any such Registration Statement and related prospectus refer to any Designated Holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company and if in such holder’s sole and exclusive judgment, such holder is or might be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling person of the Company, or that such reference could reasonably be expected to result in an Underwriting Identification requirement, such holder shall have the right to (i) require the insertion therein of language, in form and substance satisfactory to such holder and presented to the Company in writing, to the effect that the holding by such holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by such holder of the investment quality of the Company’s securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such holder will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company, or (ii) in the event that such reference to such holder by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force, require the deletion of the reference to such holder.

3.3 Event Payments. Should an Event (as defined below) occur then, upon each monthly anniversary of the occurrence of such Event (an “Event Payment Date”) until the applicable Event is cured, as relief for the damages suffered therefrom by the Designated Holder (the parties hereto agreeing that the liquidated damages provided for in this Section 3.3 constitute a reasonable estimate of the damages that may be incurred by the Designated Holder by reason of such Event and that such liquidated damages represent the exclusive monetary remedy for the Designated Holders for damages suffered due to such Event; provided, however, that this shall in no manner limit the Designated Holders’ entitlement to specific performance as provided for in Section 10.3), the Company shall pay to the Designated Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to one-twentieth of a percent (0.05%) of (i) the number of SEC Approved Registrable Securities then held by the Designated Holder as of the date of such Event, multiplied by (ii) the purchase price paid by the Designated Holder for such SEC Approved Registrable Securities then held, for each day that such Event continues, excluding the day on which such Event has been cured. The payments to which the Designated Holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 3.3 are referred to herein as “Event Payments.” In the event the Company fails to make Event Payments to the Designated Holder within five (5) Business Days after an Event Payment Date, such Event Payments owed to the Designated Holder shall bear interest at the rate of one half percent (0.5%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. All pro rated calculations made pursuant to this paragraph shall be based upon the actual number of days in such pro rated month. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay such liquidated damages in an aggregate amount that exceeds five percent (5.0%) of the purchase price paid by the Designated Holder for its Registrable Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

For such purposes, each of the following shall constitute an “Event”:

(a) a Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Required Filing Date or is not declared effective on or prior to the Required Effectiveness Date except: (i) as provided for in Section 7.4 or (ii) in the event that the SEC or the Staff (whether by means of a comment letter provided by the SEC or the Staff relating to the Registration Statement or otherwise) makes a determination that

the registration of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement may not be appropriately characterized as secondary offerings that are eligible to be made on a shelf basis under Rule 415 or that one or more of the Designated Holders should be subjected to Underwriter Identification; or

(b) on and after the effective date of a Registration Statement filed hereunder, a Designated Holder is not permitted to sell SEC Approved Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement (or a subsequent Registration Statement filed in replacement thereof) for any reason (other than the fault of such Designated Holder or in compliance with applicable rules and regulations such as xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policies) for more than forty five (45) days in any one hundred and eighty day (180) day period or for more than ninety (90) days in any twelve month period.

3.4 Expenses. The Company shall bear all Registration Expenses in connection with this Section 3, whether or not the Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective.

SECTION 4

DEMAND REGISTRATION RIGHTS

4.1 If, at any time after the Required Filing Date and prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period, (i) (A) additional Registrable Securities, which have not been included in the Shelf Registration Statement of the Company pursuant to Section 3.1 above, are issued or issuable to, or otherwise acquired by, the Designated Holder or its Affiliates or (B) a Registration Statement covering the sale of all of the Registrable Securities is not then effective and available for sales thereof by the Designated Holder, and (ii) the Company receives from the Designated Holder a written request (the “Demand Request”) stating that such Designated Holder is likely to be considered an Affiliate of the Company and requesting that the Company effect a registration with respect to at least one million of such Registrable Securities (which request shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended methods of disposition of such shares by the Designated Holder), the Company shall as soon as practicable, file and use reasonable best efforts to effect at least one such registration during the period from the Required Filing Date to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period and to permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all of such Registrable Securities.

4.2 Expenses. The Company shall bear all Registration Expenses in connection with this Section 4, whether or not a Registration Statement becomes effective.

SECTION 5

INCIDENTAL OR “PIGGY-BACK” REGISTRATION

5.1 Request for Incidental Registration. At any time after the date hereof until the end of the Effectiveness Period, if (i) the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering by the Company for its own account (other than a Registration Statement on Form F-4 or S-8 or any successor thereto), or (ii) the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering for the account of any shareholder of the Company other than any Designated Holder or as required under the KKR Transaction Documents, then in each case the Company shall give written notice of

such proposed filing to each of the Designated Holders at least fifteen (15) days before the anticipated filing date, and such notice shall specify, at minimum, the proposed date of filing of such Registration Statement, any proposed means of distribution of such Registrable Securities or other securities, any proposed managing underwriter or underwriters of such Registrable Securities or other securities and offer such Designated Holders the opportunity to register the number of Registrable Securities as each such Designated Holder may request (an “Incidental Registration”). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts (within twenty (20) days of the notice by the Designated Holders provided for below in this sentence) to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters in the case of a proposed underwritten offering (the “Company Underwriter”) to permit each of the Designated Holders who have requested in writing to the Company within ten (10) Business Days of the giving of the notice by the Company to participate in the Incidental Registration to include its, his or her Registrable Securities in such offering on the same terms and conditions as the securities of the Company or the account of such other shareholder, as the case may be, included therein. In connection with any Incidental Registration under this Section 5.1 involving an underwritten offering, the Company shall not be required to include any Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering unless the Designated Holders thereof accept the terms of the underwritten offering as agreed upon between the Company, such other shareholders, if any, and the Company Underwriter. For the avoidance of doubt, no registration pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall relieve the Company of its obligations to register Registrable Securities pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 5.1.

5.2 Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under Section 5.1 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Designated Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. A Designated Holder shall have the right, by written notice to the Company, to exclude all or any portion of such Designated Holder’s Registrable Securities from any Registration Statement effected pursuant to this Section 5 at any time prior to its effectiveness.

5.3 Expenses. The Company shall bear all Registration Expenses in connection with any Incidental Registration pursuant to this Section 5, whether or not such Incidental Registration becomes effective.

SECTION 6

participating in such underwritten offering completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; (vi) the Company shall be entitled to include securities in such underwritten offering amounting to not less than 20% of the aggregate offering; and (vii) the underwritten sale pursuant to this Section must be for a number of Registrable Securities, which based on the good faith determination by the Electing Holders for no less than 14 million Ordinary Shares Equivalent (excluding securities to be offered for the account of the Company).

(a) enter into and perform customary agreements (including an indemnity agreement with customary indemnification provisions) and take such other actions as reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, including causing its officers to participate in “road shows” and other information meetings organized by the underwriter, if applicable;

(b) make available at reasonable times for inspection by any Designated Holder, any managing underwriter participating in any disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, Holders’ Counsel and any attorney retained by any such Designated Holder or any managing underwriter (each, an “Inspector” and, collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, and such other information (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable any such Inspector to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ officers, directors and employees, and the independent public accountants of the Company, to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Records and other information that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential, and which is delivered to the Inspectors pursuant to written instruction to keep such information confidential, shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors or used for any purpose other than as necessary or appropriate for the purpose of such inspection (and the Inspectors shall confirm their agreement in writing in advance to the Company if the Company shall so request) unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary, in the Company’s judgment, to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement, (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom or (iii) the information in such Records was and/or becomes otherwise known to the Inspectors on a non-confidential basis, prior to or after its disclosure by the Company, or was and/or becomes generally available to the public. Each Designated Holder agrees that it shall promptly, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure

of the Records deemed confidential, and such Designated Holder shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection therewith;

Company has knowledge which makes any statement of a material fact in such Registration Statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue or which would require the making of any changes to the Registration Statement or prospectus in order that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any 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 not misleading, and that in the case of such prospectus, it will not contain any 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (vi) determination by counsel of the Company that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement relating to Registrable Securities is advisable;

(j) provide reasonable cooperation to each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the FINRA;

The furnishing of such information shall be a condition to the inclusion of the seller’s shares in such registration.

7.4 Notice to Discontinue. Each Designated Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in clause (v) of Section 7.1(e), such Designated Holder shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Designated Holder’s receipt of the copies of the

supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 7.1(f) and, if so directed by the Company, such Designated Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Designated Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities which is current at the time of receipt of such notice. If the Company shall give any such notice, the Company shall extend the period during which such Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the period referred to in Section 7.1(b) by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to clause (v) of Section 7.1(e) to and including the date when sellers of such Registrable Securities under such Registration Statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by, and meeting the requirements of, Section 7.1(f) provided, that, no single suspension under this Section 7.4 shall exceed forty-five (45) days in any one hundred and eight (180) day period and in no event shall more than one suspension event exceed, in the aggregate, sixty (60) days in any twelve (12) month period.

7.5 Suspension of Sales.

SECTION 8

INDEMNIFICATION; CONTRIBUTION

8.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) each Designated Holder, its general or limited partners, members, directors, officers, Affiliates and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) any of the foregoing to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation) or any action or proceeding in respect thereof (including reasonable costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (each, a “Liability” and collectively, “Liabilities”), (i) arising out of or based upon or relating to any untrue, or allegedly untrue, statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary, final or summary prospectus, or document incorporated by reference into any of the foregoing (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), (ii) arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, except insofar as such Liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission contained in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or final prospectus in reliance and in conformity with information concerning such Designated Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Designated Holder specifically for use therein, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities laws in connection with the sale of securities by such Designated Holder pursuant to any Registration Statement in which such Designated Holder is participating. The Company shall also provide customary indemnities to any underwriters (or persons, including broker-dealers or agents deemed “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Registrable Securities, their officers, directors and employees and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Designated Holders of Registrable Securities.

8.2 Indemnification by Designated Holders. In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Designated Holder is participating pursuant to Section 3 or Section 5 hereof, each such Designated Holder shall promptly furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to such Designated Holder as may be required by law or regulation for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or prospectus and all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Designated Holder not materially misleading or necessary to cause such Registration Statement or prospectus not to omit a material fact with respect to such Designated Holder necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. Each Designated Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, Affiliates, and each Person who controls the Company to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Designated Holders, but only if such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information with respect to such

Designated Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Designated Holder specifically for use in such Registration Statement or preliminary, final or summary prospectus or amendment or supplement, or a document incorporated by reference into any of the foregoing; provided, however, that the total amount to be indemnified by such Designated Holder pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be limited to the net proceeds (after deducting the underwriters’ discounts and commissions) received by such Designated Holder in the offering to which the Registration Statement or prospectus relates.

8.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) after the receipt by the Indemnified Party of any written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which the Indemnified Party intends to claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party hereunder (except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced or otherwise forfeits substantive rights or defenses by reason of such failure). If notice of commencement of any such action is given to the Indemnifying Party as above provided, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense of such action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay the same, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party or (iii) such parties have been advised in writing by such counsel that either (x) representation of such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct or (y) there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, in any of such cases, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all similarly-situated Indemnified Parties. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement entered into without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the consent of such Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such Indemnified Party is a party and indemnity has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability for claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

8.4 Contribution.

(a) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any

Liabilities referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions which resulted in such Liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative faults of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding; provided, that the total amount to be contributed by such Designated Holder shall be limited to the net proceeds (after deducting the underwriters’ discounts and commissions) received by such Designated Holder in the offering.

(b) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8.4(a). 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.

SECTION 9 COVENANTS

9.1 Rule 144. The Company covenants that from and after the date hereof it shall use its best efforts to (i) timely file any reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act and (ii) promptly take such further action as each Designated Holder may reasonably request (including providing any information necessary to comply with Rule 144 under the Securities Act), all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Designated Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time or (ii) any similar rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the SEC. The Company shall, upon the request of any Designated Holder, deliver to such Designated Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

Listing”), the Company shall take such action as may be necessary or required to include in such Asian/European Listing all Registrable Securities held by the Designated Holders and to enable Designated Holders to freely resell such Registrable Securities to the same extent as any other holder of Ordinary Shares of the Company on such securities exchange, and to maintain any such Asian/European Listing, subject to any “close periods” under the rules of such securities exchange.

(b) Without limiting the generality of subsection (a), the Company shall take such action, including, without limitation, preparing, printing and circulating prospectus, listing particulars and other offering documents setting forth current information regarding the Company, to the extent reasonably required to facilitate and permit the offering and sale of Registrable Securities by, and on behalf of, the Designated Holders on such securities exchange.

(c) If any part of the equity share capital of the Company is to be offered in Asia or Europe by the Company or any of its shareholders in a manner requiring the publication of a prospectus or listing particulars (an “Asian/European Public Offering”) pursuant to a firm commitment underwriting, the Company shall (i) each such time give written notice to the Designated Holders of its intention to do so and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to include in such Asian/European Public Offering all of the Registrable Securities held by such Designated Holders from whom the Company has received written request for inclusion thereof within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt by such Designated Holders of the notice referred to in clause (i) above, to the same extent as provided by the incidental or “piggy-back” rights held by the Designated Holders pursuant to Section 5.

(d) The Company shall pay all expenses arising from or incident to its performance of, or compliance with, this Section 9.2, including, without limitation, (i) listing, filing and other fees required to effect a Asian/European Listing or Asian/European Public Offering, (ii) all fees and expenses incurred in complying with securities laws or rules of the applicable jurisdiction or stock exchange (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to any underwriter incurred in connection with such compliance as may be set forth in any underwriting agreement), (iii) all printing, messenger and delivery expenses, (iv) the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Company and of its independent public accountants and any other accounting fees, charges and expenses incurred by the Company (including, without limitation, any expenses arising from any “cold comfort” letters or any special audits incident to or required by any Asian/European Listing or Asian/European Public Offering) and any legal fees, charges and expenses incurred by the Company and the reasonable fees, charges and expenses, if any, of the Designated Holders’ Counsel not to exceed $50,000, and (v) any liability insurance or other premiums for insurance obtained for the benefit of the Company and/or its directors and officers in connection with any Asian/European Listing or Asian/European Public Offering, regardless of whether such Asian/European Listing becomes effective or such Asian/European Public Offering commences. In the event any of the Registrable Securities held by the Designated Holders are sold pursuant to an

Asian/European Public Offering, each Designated Holder shall bear the respective expense of any broker’s commission or an underwriter’s discount or commission relating to the sale of such Designated Holders’ Registrable Securities.

9.3 [RESERVED]

9.4 Adjustments Affecting Registrable Securities. The Company shall not take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to its securities that would adversely affect the ability of the Designated Holders of Registrable Securities to include such Registrable Securities in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement or that would adversely affect the marketability of such Registrable Securities in any such registration.

SECTION 10

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Recapitalizations, Exchanges, etc. The provisions of this Agreement shall apply to the full extent set forth herein with respect to (i) the Ordinary Shares (including in the form of Depositary Receipts) and the Ordinary Shares Equivalents, (ii) any and all voting equity securities of the Company into which the Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents are converted, exchanged or substituted in any recapitalization or other capital reorganization by the Company and (iii) any and all equity securities of the Company or any successor or assign of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) which may be issued in respect of, in conversion of, in exchange for or in substitution of, the Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents and shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividends, splits, reverse splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like occurring after the date hereof. The Company shall cause any successor or assign (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) to enter into a new registration rights agreement with the Designated Holders on terms substantially the same as this Agreement as a condition of any such transaction.

10.2 Other Registration Rights. The Company shall not enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Designated Holders in this Agreement or grant any additional registration rights to any Person or with respect to any securities which are not Registrable Securities which are prior in right to or inconsistent with the rights granted in this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of a Majority Interest. The Company represents and warrants that no holder of the securities of the Company has the right to register securities of the Company on the initial or any subsequent Shelf Registration Statement other than as required under the KKR Transaction Documents.

10.3 Remedies. The Designated Holders, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of their rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages alone (including those specified in Section 3.3) would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

10.4 Notices. All notices, demands and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in the manner provided for under the Purchase Agreement.
