8
3. Conversion.
3.1. Optional Conversion. At any time from and after the earlier of (a) the occurrence of an IPO or (b) following delivery of the Sale Notice and prior to the consummation of a Sale Transaction (the earlier of such events, the “Triggering Event”), the Holder shall have the right, but not obligation, to convert in whole or in part (the “Conversion Right”) the then outstanding Principal Amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such conversion, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the Principal Amount to be converted plus all accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such conversion and the denominator of which is the Conversion Price (as adjusted pursuant to Section 4). No notice delivered by the Company of any proposed redemption or Sale Transaction or other event will limit in any way any Holder’s right to convert this Note. The Company shall give the Holder at least ten (10) days prior written notice of a Sale Transaction, setting out reasonable details of the terms of the proposed Sale Transaction (the “Sale Notice”). If the Holder does not convert this Note into Ordinary Shares at any time prior to the consummation of a Sale Transaction, the Principal Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on the date of consummation of such Sale Transaction.
3.2. Conversion Price. The initial conversion price shall be (a) in the event that the Triggering Event is an IPO, equal to the product of 90% multiplied by, in the event of a listing in the US, the final price per share of the Ordinary Shares offered by the Company to the public in the IPO as set forth in the final prospectus or, in the event of a listing only outside the US, the final listing price per share of the Ordinary Shares on the principal securities exchange on which the Ordinary Shares are listed and (b) in the event that the Triggering Event is a Sale Transaction, equal to the product of 90% multiplied by the price per share offered for the Ordinary Shares (calculated without taking into account the conversion of this Note) based on the valuation of the Company in such Sale Transaction (subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 below, the “Conversion Price”); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if the calculation of the initial Conversion Price pursuant to the foregoing clause (a) or clause (b), as the case may be, is greater than US$86.872 (subject to adjustment for share splits, share dividends, bonus issues, reorganizations, recapitalizations or similar events) (the “Maximum Conversion Price”), then the initial Conversion Price shall equal the Maximum Conversion Price.
3.3. Conversion Procedures. The Conversion Right shall be exercised by the surrender by the Holder of this Note, accompanied by written notice to the Company at its principal corporate office (the “Conversion Notice”) specifying (a) that the Holder elects to convert this Note in whole or in part, and if in part, the Principal Amount of this Note to be converted and (b) the name or names (with address) in which a certificate or certificates for Ordinary Shares are to be issued. This Note shall be canceled upon issuance of the Ordinary Shares. As soon as practicable after the delivery of the Conversion Notice, but in no event later than five Business Days thereafter, the Company shall (i) take all actions and execute all documents necessary to effect the issuance and registration of such Ordinary Shares on the share registry of the Company (including giving all necessary instruction to the relevant share registry to effect such issuance and registration) and (ii) deliver to the Holder (x) certificate(s) representing the number of
9
fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares calculated in accordance with Section 3.2 (and to the extent that only a portion of this Note is converted, a replacement Note reflecting the remaining outstanding Principal Amount), bearing such legends as are required by applicable securities laws in the written opinion of counsel to the Company, and (y) any other securities and property to which the Holder is entitled upon such conversion under the terms of this Note, including a check payable to the Holder for any cash amounts as described in Section 3.4.
3.4. Mechanics and Effect of Conversion. No fractional shares Ordinary Share shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to Holder upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to Holder the amount of outstanding principal and interest that is not so converted. Upon conversion of all amounts due under this Note, the Company shall be forever released from all of its obligations and liabilities under this Note.
3.5. Availability of Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and maintain authority to issue, solely for the purpose of issue or delivery upon any conversion herein provided, the maximum number of Ordinary Shares that may be, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, issuable upon conversion of this Note. The Company covenants that all Ordinary Shares, when issued or delivered pursuant to Section 3.3, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid, free and clear of all Liens.
4. Anti-dilution Adjustments. The Conversion Price, and the number and type of securities to be received upon conversion of this Note, shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
4.1. Dividend, Subdivision, Combination, Share Split, Recapitalization or Reclassification of Ordinary Shares. In the event that the Company shall at any time or from time to time prior to the conversion or payment of this Note, effect a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Ordinary Shares or in the event of a reclassification, recapitalization, share split, share combination, bonus issue or other distribution payable in securities of the Company or any other Person, then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be proportionally adjusted (and any other appropriate actions shall be taken by the Company) so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the number of Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Company that the Holder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive upon or by reason of any of the events described above, had this Note been converted immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall become effective retroactively (x) in the case of any such dividend or distribution, to a date immediately following the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or (y) in the case of any such subdivision, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or share split, to the close of business on the day upon which such corporate action becomes effective.
10
4.2. Issuances below Current Market Price. If and whenever the Company shall issue (other than Excluded Securities) any Ordinary Shares or if and whenever the Company shall issue or grant (other than Excluded Securities) options, warrants or other rights to subscribe or purchase shares (including securities that are convertible into Ordinary Shares), in each case, at a price per share which is less than the Current Market Price on the last Trading Day preceding the day of announcement of the terms of such issue or grant, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before such issue or grant by the following fraction;
A+B
C
where:
A | shall mean the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before the issue of such additional Ordinary Shares or the grant of such options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Ordinary Shares; |
B | shall mean the number of Ordinary Shares which the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company for the issue of such additional Ordinary Shares would purchase at such Current Market Price per Ordinary Share; and |
C | shall mean the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately after the issue of such additional Ordinary Shares. |
References to additional Ordinary Shares in the above formula shall, in the case of an issue or grant by the Company of options, warrants or other rights to subscribe or purchase Ordinary Shares, mean such Ordinary Shares to be issued, or otherwise made available, assuming that such options, warrants or other rights are exercised in full at the initial exercise price (if applicable) or the date of issue or grant of such options, warrants or other rights.
Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of such additional Ordinary Shares or, as the case may be, the issue or grant of such options, warrants or other rights.
4.3. Capital Distribution. If at any time from and after the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Company shall pay or make any Capital Distribution to its shareholders, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before such Capital Distribution by the following fraction:
A-B
A
11
where:
A shall mean the Current Market Price of one Ordinary Share on the last business day preceding the date of the Capital Distribution is publicly announced; and
B shall mean the Fair Market Value on the date of such announcement, immediately after the Capital Distribution, of the portion of the Capital Distribution attributable to one Ordinary Share.
Such adjustment shall become effective on the date that such Capital Distribution is made.
4.4. Other Changes. If the Company at any time or from time to time, prior to the conversion of this Note, shall take any action affecting its Ordinary Shares or share capital similar to or having an effect similar to any of the actions described in Sections 4.1 or 4.2, then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner as would be equitable in the circumstances.
4.5. Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 4, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.
4.6. No Impairment. The Company will not, by any voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of Holder against impairment.
5. Put Option.
5.1. General. If the Company does not consummate a Qualifying IPO prior to January 1, 2008 then, from and after the earlier of (x) January 1, 2008 and (y) the date upon which an IPO that is not a Qualifying IPO is consummated, the Holder shall have the right, at its option, to require the Company to repurchase this Note (the “Put Option”) from the Holder for an aggregate purchase price in cash (the “Put Price”) equal to (i) the aggregate initial Principal Amount (excluding any interest added thereto pursuant to Section 2), plus (ii) an amount representing a 12% Internal Rate of Return (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be inclusive of all accrued and unpaid interest on the initial Principal Amount that has accrued in the manner set forth in Section 2) on the initial Principal Amount (excluding any interest added thereto pursuant to Section 2), calculated from the date hereof through and until the date of payment in full of the Put Price (the “Redemption Date”).
5.2. Put Option Procedures. The Holder may exercise the Put Option under Section 5.1 by delivering written notice to the Company (the “Put Option Notice”). The Company shall pay the Holder the Put Price not later than twenty (20) Business Days

If the Put Option Notice shall have been duly given, and if on the Redemption Date the Put Price payable upon repurchase of this Note on the Redemption Date is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor, then notwithstanding that this Note shall not have been surrendered by the Holder, interest with respect to this Note shall cease to accrue after the Redemption Date and all rights with respect to this Note (other than the right to receive the Put Price) shall forthwith after the Redemption Date terminate.
5.3. Failure to Pay. In the event that the Holder exercises the Put Option and the Company does not have sufficient funds to pay the Put Price in full, this Note and the then outstanding Principal Amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall, notwithstanding the Holder’s surrender of the Note to the Company pursuant to Section 5.2, remain outstanding until the date the Holder receives the Put Price in full and the Holder shall maintain all of its rights and remedies under this Note.

(a) If the Company consummates an IPO that is not a Qualifying IPO, then the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prepay this Note in full and not in part (the “Call Option”) for an aggregate purchase price in cash equal to the sum of the aggregate Principal Amount, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “Prepayment Amount”), at any time after the third anniversary of such IPO (the “Trigger Date”) if the closing price per share for each of the any 15 trading days falling within a period of 30 consecutive trading days occurring after the Trigger Date, with the last day of such period occurring no more than five trading days prior to the date upon which Prepayment Notice is given, was for each such 15 trading days at least 140% of the Conversion Price then in effect.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company does not consummate any IPO (including a Qualifying IPO) on or prior to the third anniversary of the date hereof, then from and after such third anniversary, the Company shall have the right to exercise the Call Option for the aggregate purchase price equal to the Prepayment Amount.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Holder breaches its covenant not to transfer this Note to a direct competitor and/or customer of the Company, as set forth in Section 14.2 below, the Company shall have the immediate right to exercise the Call Option for the aggregate purchase price equal to the Prepayment Amount.
(d) Except in the case of Section 6.1(c) above, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6, the Company may not exercise the Call Option unless (i) it exercises the Call Option with respect to all Notes issued under the Note Purchase Agreement and (ii) all of such Notes are simultaneously repurchased in full.
6.2. Notice. The Company may exercise the Call Option by delivering written notice to the Holder (the “Prepayment Notice”), which Notice shall not be effective until the 15th day after such Prepayment Notice is given (the “Effective Date”). On the
14
Effective Date, the Company shall pay the Prepayment Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Holder in writing; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6, during the period after the Prepayment Notice is given, but prior to the Effective Date, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to (i) convert this Note in the manner set forth in Section 3 or (ii) exercise the Put Option, in which case the Holder shall be paid on the Effective Date the aggregate purchase price equal to the Put Price and surrender this Note to the Company for cancellation. If the Prepayment Notice shall have been duly given, and if by the Effective Date no account has been designated by a Holder for payment (as contemplated above), then notwithstanding that this Note shall not have been surrendered by the Holder, interest with respect to this Note shall cease to accrue after the Effective Date and all rights with respect to this Note (other than the right to receive the Prepayment Amount) shall forthwith after the Effective Date terminate.
7. Major Actions.

(a) at any time prior to a Qualifying IPO, (i) redeem any equity securities if the amount of such redemptions, when aggregated with all other redemptions of equity securities during the period from the date hereof to the date of such redemption, exceeds $2,500,000 (excluding any redemption by the Company of (a) the Notes, (b) any equity securities in accordance with the Joint Venture Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association adopted by the Company and filed with the Registry of Corporate Affairs in the Territory of the British Virgin Islands on February [Date], 2007 (the “M&AA”) and (c) any transactions contemplated in the Sellers Agreement (as defined in the Subscription Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement))) or (ii) pay, in whole or in part, of any Indebtedness (other than all present bank and purchase money loans, equipment financings and equipment leasings);
(b) at any time upon or after a Qualifying IPO, (i) redeem any equity securities if the amount of such redemptions, when aggregated with all other redemptions of equity securities during the period from the date hereof to the date of such redemption, exceeds $2,500,000 (excluding any redemption by the Company of (a) the Notes, (b) any equity securities in accordance with the Joint Venture Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or the M&AA and (c) any transactions contemplated in the Sellers Agreement (as defined in the Subscription Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement))) or (ii) pay, in whole or in part, of any Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than all present and future bank and purchase money loans, equipment financings and equipment leasings);
(c) declare or pay any dividends or other distributions to any equity securities (other than the declaration and payment of (i) a cash dividend in any fiscal year which, when aggregated with all other cash dividends declared during such fiscal

year, does not exceed 50% of the Company’s audited consolidated net income for its most recently completed fiscal year, calculated in accordance with US GAAP or (ii) any dividend for which an adjustment is made in accordance with the terms of this Note); or
(d) at any time prior to an IPO, have outstanding, incur, assume, issue or guarantee any Indebtedness (i) prior to January 1, 2008, in excess of US$18 million in the aggregate for the Company and its Subsidiaries (excluding the $40 million of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Notes) and (ii) from and after January 1, 2008, if the Company’s ratio of total consolidated Indebtedness (excluding cash and cash equivalents) to EBITDA (excluding any share-based compensation expenses recognized in accordance with US GAAP) as set forth in the Company’s audited consolidated income statement (once available) for its most recently completed fiscal year would exceed 2.5:1 on a pro forma basis, each calculated in accordance with US GAAP.
8. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”:
8.1. Failure To Pay. (i) The failure of the Company to pay any Principal Amount due under any of the Notes when due and payable (whether by acceleration, declaration, extension or otherwise), or (ii) the failure of the Company to pay any interest or other amounts due under any of the Notes when due and payable if such failure is not cured within five (5) Business Days of Company’s receipt of notice thereof from any of the Holders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Claims (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) for indemnification in respect of any Losses (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) have been made pursuant to and in the manner provided in Article VI of the Purchase Agreement with respect to any representation and warranty in the Purchase Agreement prior to the applicable expiration of any such representation and warranty, then such representation and warranty shall continue in effect until the final resolution of such Claims in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

Upon the request of any party to any arbitration proceedings commenced pursuant to this Section 22, 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:
(a) there are issues of fact or law common to the proceedings so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings; and
20
(b) 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.
22.7. 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.

22.8. Decision Final.
(a) 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.
(b) 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.
22.9. 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.
22.10. Confidentiality of Arbitration. Once any Dispute has been submitted to arbitration proceedings pursuant to this Section 22, such Dispute shall be resolved in a confidential manner. Unless required by applicable law, neither party shall
21
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.
23. Amendments and Waivers. No amendments or waivers of any provision of this Note, and no consent by the Holder to any departure by the Company, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing, and signed by the Company and the Majority Holders, and all Notes shall be similarly amended and such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
24. Severability. Any provision of this Note that is prohibited or unenforceable in a jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
25. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER 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 NOTE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS NOTE. THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER 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 NOTE AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS NOTE, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 25.
