requisite power and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it
is
now being conducted and (B) is in good standing and is duly qualified to transact business in
each jurisdiction in which it is required to be so qualified, except, in the case of clause (A) or
(B), where the failure to have such power and authority or to be in good standing would not

to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
2
(b) Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability. Such Seller has the requisite
power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Representation Letter and to
perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery by such Seller of
this Agreement and the Representation Letter and the performance by such Seller of its obligations
hereunder and thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such
Seller. Each of this Agreement and the Representation Letter has been duly executed and delivered
by such Seller and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto,
constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of such Seller, enforceable against such Seller in

Date in accordance with this Agreement, Purchaser will receive good and valid title to such Sale
Shares, free and clear of any and all Encumbrances, other than those arising from the act, omission
or condition of Purchaser or its Affiliates. No certificate has been issued to such Seller in
respect of Sale Shares, which are held in registered form only.
(d) No Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance by such Seller of this
Agreement and the consummation by such Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby will not
require any consent or approval of, or filing with or notice to, any Governmental Authority under
any provision of Law applicable to such Seller.
Section 2.2 Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser hereby represents
and warrants to Sellers as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that:

good standing under the law of the Cayman Islands. Purchaser (A) has all requisite corporate power
and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being
conducted and (B) is in good standing and is duly qualified to transact business in each
jurisdiction in which it is required to be so qualified, except, in the case of clause (A) or (B),
where the failure to have such power and authority or to be in good standing would not reasonably
be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impede the ability of Purchaser to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
3
(b) Authorization and Validity of Agreement. Purchaser has the requisite power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The
execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement and the performance by Purchaser of its
obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of
Purchaser. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Purchaser and, assuming due
authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and
binding agreement of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject
to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and
other similar Laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable
principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) applicable to Purchaser.
(c) No Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of this
Agreement and the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby will not
require any consent or approval of, or filing with or notice to, any Governmental Authority under
