The omission of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party of any such action shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party (a) other than pursuant to this Article VI or (b) under this Article VI unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the Indemnifying Party’s forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses. In case any such Claim shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment; provided, however, that any Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Claim in which both the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and an Indemnified Party, on the other hand, are, or are reasonably likely to become, a party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to control its own defense of such Claim if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party, either (i) one or more defenses are available to the Indemnified Party that are not available to the Indemnifying Party or (ii) a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, that would make such separate representation advisable; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party (x) shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel to all Indemnified Parties and (y) shall reimburse the Indemnified Parties for all of such fees and expenses of such counsel incurred in any action between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Parties or between the Indemnified Parties and any third party, as such expenses are incurred. The Indemnifying Party agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Purchasers, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened Claim relating to the matters contemplated hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or has been actually threatened to be made a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such Claim. The Indemnifying
14
Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Claim effected against an Indemnified Party without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Nothing in this Article VI shall restrict or limit any rights that any Indemnified Party may have to seek equitable relief.
6.3 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article VI from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses 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 Losses, 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 Losses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.4, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.
6.4 Limits on Indemnification.
(a) Basket. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.1(a), no amounts for indemnification shall be payable by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 6.1(a) in respect of Losses arising out of a breach of the Company Warranties, unless and until the Indemnified Parties have suffered, incurred, sustained or become subject to Losses in excess of US$500,000 in the aggregate (the “Basket Amount”), in which case the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to the full amount of its Losses including the Basket Amount; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to Losses arising out of any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 1(c), 1(d), 2(a), 2(b), 2(c) and 2(d) of the Company Warranties.
(b) Cap.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.1(a), no amounts for indemnification shall be payable by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 6.1(a) to General Atlantic and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and controlling persons (each, a “GA Indemnified Party”) in respect of Losses to the extent the Indemnifying Party, in the aggregate, has made indemnification payments to the GA Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article VI in excess of the sum of (x) US$35 million, plus (y) all reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Parties.
15
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.1(a), no amounts for indemnification shall be payable by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 6.1(a) to XX Xxxxxx and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and controlling persons (each, a “XX Xxxxxx Indemnified Party”) in respect of Losses to the extent the Indemnifying Party, in the aggregate, has made indemnification payments to the XX Xxxxxx Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article VI in excess of the sum of (x) US$5 million, plus (y) all reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel incurred by the XX Xxxxxx Indemnified Parties.
6.5 Exclusive Remedy. Except for the rights and remedies under the Notes, this Article VI shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnified Party for Losses arising out of any breach of the Company Warranties, other than in the case of fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.
6.6 Knowledge of Claims. No other information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries of which the Purchasers have knowledge (actual or constructive), and no investigation by or on behalf of the Purchasers shall prejudice any claim made by any Purchaser under the indemnity contained herein or operate to reduce any amount recoverable thereunder. It shall not be a defense to any claim against the Company or any Subsidiary that the Purchasers knew or ought to have known or had constructive knowledge of any information relating to the circumstances giving rise to such claim.
ARTICLE VII
TERMINATION
7.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing as follows:
(a) at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, by mutual written consent of the Company and the Purchasers; or
(b) at the election of the Company or the Purchasers by written notice to the other parties hereto after 5:00 p.m., Hong Kong time, on February 14, 2007, if the Closing shall not have occurred, unless such date is extended by the mutual written consent of the Company and the Purchasers; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(a) shall not be available (i) to any party whose breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date or (ii) to the Company if the Closing has not occurred because it has not yet obtained an approval necessary to satisfy Section 5.1(e) hereof from any applicable Governmental Authority.
(c) at the election of the Company, if there has been a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Purchasers contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, which breach has not been cured within 15 Business Days after notice to the Purchasers of such breach; or
16
(d) at the election of the Purchasers, if there has been a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company or the Selling Shareholders contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, which breach has not been cured within 15 Business Days after notice to the Company of such breach.
7.2 Survival. If this Agreement is terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated as described above, then (a) this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect, except for the provisions of Article I (Definitions), this Section 7.2 and Sections 8.3 to 8.15 (inclusive); and (b) none of the parties hereto shall have any liability in respect of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(a); provided, that none of the parties hereto shall have any liability for speculative, indirect, unforeseeable or consequential damages or lost profits resulting from any legal action relating to any termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 Separate and Independent.

Subject to applicable securities laws and the terms and conditions thereof, the Purchasers may assign any of their rights under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to any of their respective Affiliates.

8.5 Amendment and Waiver.
(a) No failure or delay on the part of the Company or the Purchasers in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to the Company or the Purchasers at law, in equity or otherwise.
(b) Any amendment, supplement or modification of or to any provision of this Agreement, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure by the Company or the Purchasers from the terms of any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective (i) only if it is made or given in writing and signed by the Company and each of the Purchasers, and
19
(ii) only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement, no notice to or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle any other party hereto to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
8.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
8.7 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
8.8 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THEREOF.
8.9 Dispute Resolution.
(a) Dispute Resolution. Any disputes, claims or controversies among the parties arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise and including those relating to the existence, meaning, interpretation, effect, validity, performance, termination or enforcement of this Agreement (all of which are referred to as “Disputes”) shall be referred to and finally resolved through binding and final arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (the “Arbitration Rules”) in effect, at the time of commencement of the arbitration. The Arbitration Rules are hereby incorporated by reference into this clause except as modified herein. In such event, each party agrees to submit itself and its property to the jurisdiction of the arbitration tribunal convened to resolve such Dispute.
(b) Appointment of Arbitrators. The arbitration tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators. One arbitrator shall be nominated by each of the two respective parties in the dispute and the third, who shall be the Chairman of the arbitration tribunal, shall be nominated by the two party nominated arbitrators within 14 calendar days of the last of their appointments (failing which the Chairman shall be selected by the London Court of International Arbitration). It is hereby expressly agreed that if there is more than one claimant party and/or more than one respondent party, the claimant parties shall together nominate one arbitrator and the respondent parties shall together nominate one arbitrator.
(c) Authority of the Arbitrators. The arbitrators shall have the authority to assess the costs and expenses of the arbitration proceedings (including, but not limited to, the parties’ reasonable legal costs and expenses) and allocate them between the parties in whatever manner or allocation the arbitrators deem appropriate.
20
(d) Conduct of the Arbitration. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted, and the award or decision (the “Award”) of the arbitrators shall be rendered, in the English language.
(e) Place of Arbitration. The seat, or legal place, of the arbitration shall be London, England.
(f) Joinder of Disputes. In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related Disputes, all claims among the parties that arise under or in connection with this Agreement may be dealt with in a single set of arbitration proceedings. Upon the request of any party to any arbitration proceedings commenced pursuant to this Section 8.9, the arbitral tribunal shall consolidate those arbitration proceedings with any other proceedings involving any of the parties hereto, and relating to this Agreement, if the arbitral tribunal determines that:
(i) there are issues of fact or law common to the proceedings so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings; and
(ii) no party would be materially prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise.
In the event of different determinations of (i) and (ii) by different arbitral tribunals constituted under this Agreement, the ruling of the arbitral tribunal constituted first in time shall be determinative, and unless the parties otherwise agree, such arbitral tribunal shall serve as the arbitral tribunal for any consolidated arbitration proceedings.
(g) Provisional Remedies. By agreeing to arbitration, the parties to this Agreement do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any Award. Without prejudice to such national court, the arbitral tribunal established under this Section 8.9 shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies.
(h) Decision Final.
(i) The Award shall be final and binding upon the parties as from the date rendered. Judgment upon any Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
(ii) The parties waive any rights of application or appeal to any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction to the fullest extent permitted by law in connection with any question of law arising in the course of arbitration or with respect to any Award made except for actions relating to enforcement of this Agreement or arbitral Award and except for actions seeking interim or other provisional relief in aid of arbitration proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction.
21
(i) Payment of the Award. Any monetary award shall be made and payable in US$ free of any tax, deduction or set off. Each party against which the Award assesses a monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the 30th day following the date of the Award or such other date as the Award may provide. The arbitral tribunal shall have the authority to award any remedy or relief proposed by the claimant(s) or respondent(s) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, a declaratory judgment, specific performance of any obligation created under this Agreement or the issuance of any injunction.
(j) Confidentiality of Arbitration. Once any Dispute has been submitted to arbitration proceedings pursuant to this Section 8.9, such Dispute shall be resolved in a confidential manner. Unless required by applicable law, neither party shall disclose or permit the disclosure to any person except its counsel, consultants and controlled Affiliates of any information about the evidence adduced or the documents produced by the other party in the arbitration proceedings or about the existence, contents or results of the proceeding except as may be required by a Governmental Authority or as required in an action in aid of arbitration or for enforcement of an arbitral award. Before making any disclosure permitted by the preceding sentence, the party intending to make such disclosure shall give the other party reasonable written notice of the intended disclosure and afford the other party a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests.
8.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.10.
8.11 Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired, unless the provisions held invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall substantially impair the benefits of the remaining provisions hereof.
8.12 Rules of Construction. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to sections or subsections refer to sections or subsections of this Agreement.
22
8.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules hereto, and the other Transaction Documents are intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein. There are no restrictions, promises, representations or warranties by or among the parties hereto or thereto, other than those set forth or referred to herein or therein. This Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules hereto, and the other Transaction Documents supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
8.14 Publicity; Confidentiality. Except as may be required by Requirements of Law, none of the parties hereto shall issue a press release or public announcement or otherwise make any public disclosure concerning this Agreement or any party hereto without the prior approval by the other parties hereto; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall restrict any of the Purchasers from disclosing information (a) that is already publicly available, (b) that may be required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation or arbitration, provided that such Purchaser will use reasonable efforts to notify the Company in advance of such disclosure so as to permit the Company to seek a protective order or otherwise contest such disclosure, and such Purchaser will use reasonable efforts to cooperate, at the expense of the Company, with the Company in pursuing any such protective order, (c) to the extent that such Purchaser reasonably believes it appropriate or in order to comply with any Requirement of Law, (d) to such Purchaser’s or the Company’s officers, directors, shareholders, investors, advisors, employees, members, partners, controlling persons, auditors or counsel, (e) to any Person that is reasonably necessary in connection with a proposed acquisition of the Subscribed Shares from the Purchasers or (f) to Persons from whom releases, consents or approvals are required, or to whom notice is required to be provided, pursuant to any Requirement of Law, and provided further, that General Atlantic LLC may disclose, with the Company’s prior approval and opportunity to review, on its worldwide web page, xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, the name of the Company, the name of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, a brief description of the business of the Company, the Company’s logo and the aggregate amount of the Purchasers’ investment in the Company. If any announcement is required by any Requirement of Law to be made by any party hereto, prior to making such announcement such party will deliver a draft of such announcement to the other parties and shall give the other parties reasonable opportunity to comment thereon.
8.15 Further Assurances. Each of the parties shall execute such documents and perform such further acts (including, without limitation, obtaining any consents, exemptions, authorizations or other actions by, or giving any notices to, or making any filings with, any relevant Governmental Authority or any other Person) as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out or to perform the provisions of this Agreement.

To the Knowledge of the Company, the use of the Customer IP by the Group in accordance with the Purposes does not infringe upon or otherwise violate any Intellectual Property rights of others. No member of the Group has exceeded the permitted scope of any Intellectual Property license granted by any of its customers.
(b) Except for the Customer IP and except as Disclosed, the Company or its Subsidiaries is the owner of, or has the license or right to use, all Intellectual Property that is used in connection with and material to the business of the Group as presently conducted or contemplated to be conducted (the “Company IP”), free and clear of all Liens. For the avoidance of doubt, Company IP does not include any Customer IP.
(c) The Disclosure Schedule sets forth all of the Company IP owned by the Company or any Subsidiary that has been registered or for which filings have been made, or for which applications for registration have been filed (the “Company Registered IP”). None of the Company IP is subject to any outstanding judgment, injunction, writ, award, decree or order of any nature (each, an “Order”), and no action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim or demand is pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, which challenges the validity, enforceability, use or ownership of the item.

The Company and each Subsidiary has substantially performed all existing material obligations imposed upon it thereunder, and is not, nor to the Knowledge of the Company, is any other party thereto, in breach of or default thereunder in any respect, nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, is there any event which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default thereunder. All of the Material Licenses listed on the Disclosure Schedule are valid, enforceable and in full force and effect, and will continue to be so on identical terms immediately following the Closing except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity relating to enforceability (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).
(e) To the Knowledge of the Company, none of the Company IP infringes upon or otherwise violates any Intellectual Property rights of others.
(f) No Litigation is pending against the Company or any Subsidiary or, to the Knowledge of the Company, is threatened, challenging the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to (i) license to any Person the Intellectual Property presently licensed to such Person or (ii) use the Intellectual Property presently used by the Company or any Subsidiary.

(k) To the Knowledge of the Company, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary uses any processes or is engaged in any activities which involve the misuse of any Trade Secrets belonging to any Person other than the Company and its Subsidiaries. To the Knowledge of the Company, none of the Trade Secrets that are owned and used by the Company and material to the business of the Group as presently conducted, wherever located, the value of which is contingent upon maintenance of confidentiality thereof, has been disclosed to any Person other than employees, representatives and agents of the Company or a Subsidiary, except as required
pursuant to the filing of a patent application by the Company or a Subsidiary and except where such disclosure was properly made in the normal course of its business subject to an agreement under which the recipient is obliged to maintain the confidentiality of such Trade Secrets and is restrained from further disclosing it or using it other than for the purposes for which it was disclosed by the Company or such Subsidiary. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in breach of any material Contractual Obligations under which confidential information belonging to any Person is made available to the Company or a Subsidiary and, to the Knowledge of the Company, there are not any circumstances under which its right to use confidential information may be terminated.
(l) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has security measures and safeguards in place that are adequate and appropriate in all material respects to protect confidential information of the customers from illegal or unauthorized access or use by its personnel or third parties.
(m) It is not necessary for the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s business to use any Intellectual Property owned by any director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company or any Subsidiary. To the Company’s Knowledge, at no time during the conception or reduction to practice of any of the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s Intellectual Property was any developer, inventor or other contributor to such Intellectual Property operating under any grants from any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over its business or property or subject to any employment agreement, invention assignment, nondisclosure agreement or other Contractual Obligations with any Person that could adversely affect the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s rights to its Company IP.
(n) All present employees of the Company and each Subsidiary have executed and delivered proprietary information agreements with the Company, and are obligated under the terms thereof to assign all inventions made by them during the course of employment to the Company or Subsidiary. Except as Disclosed, no such employee or present consultant of the Company or any Subsidiary who has a Ph.D. degree has identified works or inventions made prior to his employment with or work for the Company or any Subsidiary that have not been assigned to the Company or the relevant Subsidiary pursuant to such proprietary invention agreements. To the Knowledge of the Company, no member of the Group has used, or uses, any of the Intellectual Property disclosed in paragraph (n) of Part 13 of the Disclosure Schedule.
