SECTION 9.06. Public Announcements. No Party to this Agreement shall make, or cause to be made, any press release or public announcement in respect of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of each other Party unless otherwise required by Law or applicable stock exchange regulation, and the Parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such press release, public announcement or communication; provided, however, that the Investor may disclose the transactions contemplated by this Agreement: (i) to its Affiliates, partners (limited or general), affiliated investment or co-

investment funds or other Person with participation rights in respect of the Investor or its affiliated investment or co-investment funds or (ii) to its advisors, employees, agents, accountants, or attorneys, in each case as the Investor shall procure that the Persons being disclosed such information shall comply with the confidentiality obligations for such information as provided hereunder.

SECTION 9.07. Investor Name. Except as otherwise required by Law or applicable stock exchange regulation, the Company shall not use (and shall cause the Group Companies not to use), directly or indirectly, Investor’s name or the name of any of the Affiliates of the Investor in any advertisement, announcement, press release or other similar communication unless the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Investor for the specific use contemplated.

SECTION 9.08. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

SECTION 9.09. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Company and the Investor with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

SECTION 9.10. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, duties or obligations hereunder may be assigned by the Company or the Investor without the express written consent of the other Party, except that the Investor may assign all or any of its rights and obligations hereunder to any controlled Affiliate of the Investor without the consent of the Company, provided that no such assignment shall relieve the Investor of its obligations hereunder if such assignee does not perform such obligations. Any purported assignment in violation of the foregoing sentence shall be null and void.

SECTION 9.11. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Investor, or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 9.12.

SECTION 9.12. Waiver. Any party to this Agreement may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of another party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of another party contained herein or in any document delivered by another party pursuant hereto or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements of another party or conditions to such party’s obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of

any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.

SECTION 9.13. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration at the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre in accordance with the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre Administered Arbitration Rules then in force. There shall be three arbitrators. The Company shall have the right to appoint one arbitrator, the Investor shall have the right to appoint one arbitrator, and the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre. The language to be used in the arbitration proceedings shall be English. Each of the Parties irrevocably waives any immunity to jurisdiction to which it may be entitled or become entitled (including without limitation sovereign immunity, immunity to pre-award attachment, post-award attachment or otherwise) in any arbitration proceedings and/or enforcement proceedings against it arising out of or based on this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The costs of arbitration shall be borne by the losing Party, unless otherwise determined by the arbitration tribunal. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the Parties, and the prevailing Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award.

SECTION 9.15. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties 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 hereby. Each of the parties 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 9.15.

SECTION 9.16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
