Upon the terms of this Agreement and subject to the conditions set forth in Article VII, and in accordance with the CICL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT ON ISSUED SECURITIES; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

SECTION 2.01 Effect of Merger on Issued Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any securities of the Company:

(a) (i) Each ordinary share, par value US$0.0001 per share, of the Company (an “Ordinary Share” or, collectively, the “Ordinary Shares”), including Ordinary Shares represented by American Depositary Shares, each representing four (4) Ordinary Shares (the “ADSs”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than (A) any Shares owned by Alibaba Group Holding Limited or any of its Subsidiaries, including, for the avoidance of doubt, all issued and outstanding Preferred Shares (the “Alibaba Shares”), (B) any Dissenting Shares, (C) any Shares owned by any Group Company (if any), and (D) any Shares issued, outstanding and reserved (but not yet allocated) by the Company, immediately prior to the Effective Time, for settlement upon exercise of any Company Share Awards (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”), shall be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive US$5.25 in cash per Ordinary Share without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”) pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and as each ADS represents four (4) Ordinary Shares, each ADS issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than ADSs that represent Excluded Shares) shall represent the right to surrender the ADS in exchange for US$21.00 in cash per ADS without interest (the “Per ADS Merger Consideration”), pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement; and (ii) all of the Shares, including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs (other than the Excluded Shares), shall be cancelled and cease to exist, and the register of members of the Company will be amended accordingly.

(b) Each Excluded Share (including ADSs that represent Excluded Shares but excluding the Dissenting Shares which shall be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.03), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of its holder, shall be cancelled and cease to exist, without payment of any consideration or distribution therefor, and the register of members of the Company shall be amended accordingly.

(c) Each ordinary share, par value US$1.00 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable ordinary share, par value US$1.00 per share, of the Surviving Company. Such ordinary shares shall be the only issued and outstanding share capital of the Surviving Company, and the Surviving Company shall make entries in its register of members to reflect the holder of ordinary shares of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time as the holder of the ordinary shares of the Surviving Company immediately after the Effective Time.

SECTION 2.02 Share Incentive Plans and Outstanding Company Share Awards.

(a) As soon as practicable following the date hereof, the Company, the Company Board or the compensation committee of the Company Board, as applicable, shall take the actions as set forth on Section 2.02(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule to (i) terminate the Company’s Share Incentive Plans, and any relevant award agreements applicable to the Share Incentive Plans, as of the Effective Time, (ii) cancel each Company Share Award that is outstanding and unexercised, whether or not vested or exercisable, as of the Effective Time, and (iii) otherwise effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.02. From and after the Effective Time, neither Parent nor the Surviving Company shall be required to issue any Shares, other share capital of the Company or the Surviving Company or any other consideration (other than as required by this Section 2.02) to any person pursuant to or in settlement of any Company Share Award.

(b) Each former holder of a Vested Company Option that is cancelled at the Effective Time shall, in exchange therefor, be paid by the Surviving Company or one of its Subsidiaries, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time (without interest), a cash amount equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the Exercise Price of such Vested Company Option and (ii) the number of Shares underlying such Vested Company Option; provided that if the Exercise Price of any such Vested Company Option is equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration, such Vested Company Option shall be cancelled without any payment therefor.

(c) Each former holder of an Unvested Company Option and/or Company Restricted Share Award that is cancelled at the Effective Time shall, in exchange therefor, receive as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, a restricted cash award (“RCA”) in an amount in cash that is the equivalent of, (i) in the case of an Unvested Company Option, the product of (A) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the Exercise Price of such Unvested Company Option and (B) the number of Ordinary Shares underlying such Unvested Company Option, and (ii) in the case of a Company Restricted Share Award, the product of (A) the Per Share Merger Consideration and (B) the number of Ordinary Shares underlying such Company Restricted Share Award; provided that if the Exercise Price of any such Unvested Company Option is equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration such Unvested Company Option shall be cancelled without any payment therefor. Except as set forth in Section 2.02(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, any RCA issued by Parent or the Surviving Company in respect of any Unvested Company Option or Company Restricted Share Award shall be subject to the same vesting conditions and schedules applicable to such Unvested Company Option or Company Restricted Share Award without giving effect to the Transactions, and on the date, and to the extent, that any Unvested Company Option or Company Restricted Share Award would have become vested without giving effect to the Transactions, such corresponding portion of the RCA shall be delivered to the holder of such RCA, net of any applicable withholding taxes, as soon as practicable thereafter.

(d) As of the Effective Time, all Company Share Awards shall automatically cease to exist, and each holder of a Company Share Award shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the cash payment and/or the RCAs as provided in this Section 2.02. Promptly following the date hereof, the Company shall deliver written notice to each holder of each Share Award informing such holder of the effect of the Merger on such Share Award.

SECTION 2.03 Dissenting Shares.(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the CICL, Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by shareholders who shall have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to dissent from the Merger (“dissenter rights”) in accordance with Section 238 of the CICL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”; holders of Dissenting Shares being referred to as “Dissenting Shareholders”) shall at the Effective Time be cancelled and cease to exist, and each such Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of Section 238 of the CICL, except that all Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their dissenter rights in respect of such Shares under Section 238 of the CICL shall thereupon (i) not be deemed to be Dissenting Shares and (ii) be and be deemed to have been cancelled and cease to exist, as of the Effective Time, in consideration for the right of the holder thereof to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, in the manner provided in Section 2.04.

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any objection or dissent to the Merger or demands for appraisal received by the Company, attempted withdrawals of such dissenter rights or demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the CICL and received by the Company relating to its shareholders’ dissenter rights, and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any exercise of dissenter rights or any demands for appraisal under the CICL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any exercise of dissenter rights or any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such dissenter rights or any demands or approve any withdrawal of any such dissenter rights or demands.

(c) In the event that any written notices of objection to the Merger are served by any shareholders of the Company pursuant to Section 238(2) of the CICL, the Company shall serve written notice of the authorization of the Merger on such shareholders pursuant to Section 238(4) of the CICL within two (2) days of the approval of the Merger by shareholders of the Company at the Shareholders’ Meeting.

SECTION 2.04 Exchange of Share Certificates, etc. (a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a bank or trust company that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for all payments required to be made pursuant to Sections 2.01(a) and 2.02(b) (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”). Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Ordinary Shares and ADSs (other than Excluded Shares) and Vested Company Options, cash in an amount sufficient to pay the Merger Consideration (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall cause the Paying Agent to mail (or in the case of the Depositary, deliver) or otherwise disseminate to each person who was, at the Effective Time, a registered holder of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(a): (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form for a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company, and shall specify the manner in which the delivery of the Exchange Fund to registered holders of Ordinary Shares (other than Excluded Shares) shall be effected and contain such other provisions as Parent and the Company may mutually agree); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of any issued share certificates representing Ordinary Shares (the “Share Certificates”) (or affidavits and indemnities of loss in lieu of the Share Certificates as provided in Section 2.04(c)) and/or such other documents as may be required in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of, if applicable, a Share Certificate (or affidavit and indemnity of loss in lieu of the Share Certificate as provided in Section 2.04(c)) and/or such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, each registered holder of Ordinary Shares represented by such Share Certificate and each registered holder of Ordinary Shares which are not represented by a Share Certificate (the “Uncertificated Shares”) shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a check, in the amount equal to (x) the number of Ordinary Shares represented by such Share Certificate (or affidavit and indemnity of loss in lieu of the Share Certificate as provided in Section 2.04(c)) or the number of Uncertificated Shares multiplied by (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration, and the Share Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be marked as cancelled. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall establish procedures with the Paying Agent and the Depositary to ensure that (A) the Paying Agent will transmit to the Depositary as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time an amount in cash in immediately available funds equal to the product of (x) the number of ADSs issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than ADSs representing the Excluded Shares) and (y) the Per ADS Merger Consideration, and (B) the Depositary will distribute the Per ADS Merger Consideration to holders of ADSs pro rata to their holdings of ADSs (other than ADSs representing the Excluded Shares) upon surrender by them of the ADSs. The holders of ADSs shall bear any applicable fees, charges and expenses of the Depositary and government charges due to or incurred by the Depositary in connection with distribution of the Per ADS Merger Consideration to holders of ADSs, including applicable ADS cancellation fees, and any such fees, charges and expenses incurred by the Depositary shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holders of ADSs. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any amount payable in respect of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Ordinary Shares that is not registered in the register of members of the Company, the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of such Ordinary Shares may be paid to such transferee upon delivery of evidence to the satisfaction of Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) of such transferee’s entitlement to the relevant Ordinary Shares and to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, to the exclusion of the applicable transferor and evidence that any applicable share transfer taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(c) Lost Certificates. If any Share Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Share Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Company, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Company may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Share Certificate, the Paying Agent will pay in respect of the Ordinary Shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Share Certificate an amount equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares represented by such Share Certificate to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(a).

(d) Untraceable Shareholders. Remittances for the Per Share Merger Consideration shall not be sent to holders of Ordinary Shares who are untraceable unless and until, except as provided below, they notify the Paying Agent of their current contact details prior to the Effective Time. A holder of Ordinary Shares will be deemed to be untraceable if (i) such person has no registered address in the register of members (or branch register) maintained by the Company or, (ii) on the last two consecutive occasions on which a dividend has been paid by the Company a check payable to such person either (x) has been sent to such person and has been returned undelivered or has not been cashed or, (y) has not been sent to such person because on an earlier occasion a check for a dividend so payable has been returned undelivered, and in any such case no valid claim in respect thereof has been communicated in writing to the Company or, (iii) notice of the Shareholders’ Meeting convened to vote on the Merger has been sent to such person and has been returned undelivered. Dissenting Shareholders and holders of Ordinary Shares who are untraceable who subsequently wish to receive any monies otherwise payable in respect of the Merger within applicable time limits or limitation periods will be advised to contact the Surviving Company.

(e) Adjustments to Merger Consideration. The Per Share Merger Consideration and the Per ADS Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any share split, reverse share split, share dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Shares), extraordinary cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares, change or readjustment in the ratio of Ordinary Shares represented by each ADS or other like change with respect to Shares occurring, or with a record date, on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund, pending its disbursement to the holders of Shares and ADSs, shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company in (a) short-term direct obligations of the United States of America, (b) short-term obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for the payment of principal and interest, or (c) short-term commercial paper rated the highest quality by either Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation or certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks acceptable to Parent. Earnings from investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent and the Surviving Company.

(g) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any income or proceeds thereof or of any investment thereof) that remains undistributed to the holders of Ordinary Shares, ADSs or Vested Company Options for six (6) months after the Effective Time shall automatically and promptly be delivered to the Surviving Company, and any holders of Ordinary Shares and ADSs (other than Excluded Shares) that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and any holders of Vested Company Options, in each case, who have not theretofore complied with this Article II, shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Company for the cash to which they are entitled pursuant to Sections 2.01(a) and 2.02. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Ordinary Shares, ADSs or Vested Company Options as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Company free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(h) No Liability. None of the Paying Agent, Parent or the Surviving Company shall be liable to any holder of Ordinary Shares in respect of any such Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) or Company Share Awards (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) for which payment was delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(i) Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company, the Paying Agent and the Depositary (and any other person that has a payment obligation pursuant to this Agreement), shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement only such amounts that are (1) required to be deducted and withheld pursuant to any provision of Tax Law related to or regarding Taxes with respect to the Company Share Awards, (2) U.S. federal backup withholding Taxes required under Code Section 3406 to the extent a holder of Shares or ADSs does not deliver or cause to be delivered to Parent a properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, as applicable or (3) required as a result of a change in relevant Tax Law or published administrative practice by a taxing authority after the date of this agreement but on or prior to the Closing Date. To the extent that any permitted amounts are deducted, withheld and remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company, the Paying Agent or the Depositary (or other Person), as the case may be, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares, ADSs or Company Share Awards in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company, the Paying Agent or the Depositary (or other Person), as the case may be and remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority. In the event that Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company, the Paying Agent and the Depositary (or any other person that has a payment obligation pursuant to this Agreement) determine that withholding from the Merger Consideration is required under applicable Law and permitted under the Agreement (other than withholding with respect to the Company Share Awards), Parent shall so notify the Company in writing at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date (or as soon as practicable prior to the Closing Date if the circumstances giving rise to such withholding obligation or the withholding determination occurs less than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date) to provide the shareholders of the Company with opportunity to provide any form or documentation or take such other steps in order to avoid such withholding.

SECTION 2.05 No Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, (a) no transfers of Ordinary Shares shall be effected in the register of members of the Company, and (b) the holders of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Ordinary Shares, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law. On or after the Effective Time, any Share Certificates presented to the Paying Agent, Parent or Surviving Company for transfer or any other reason shall be canceled and (except for the Excluded Shares) exchanged for the cash consideration to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(a).

SECTION 2.06 Termination of Deposit Agreement. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall provide notice to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Depositary”) to terminate the amended and restated deposit agreement, dated as of June 30, 2010 between the Company, the Depositary and all Holders and Beneficial Owners of American Depositary Shares evidenced by American Depositary Receipts issued thereunder (the “Deposit Agreement”) in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 2.07 Agreement of Fair Value. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company respectively agree that the Per Share Merger Consideration represents the fair value of the Shares for the purposes of Section 238(8) of the CICL.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except (a) as set forth in the section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule that corresponds to a section or subsection of this Article III or any other section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule (it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule (whether or not an explicit cross reference appears) shall be deemed to be disclosure with respect to any other section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule and any other representation or warranty made in Article III, in either case, to the extent that it is readily apparent on the face of such disclosure that such information qualifies such section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule or such section or subsection of this Article III, as applicable), or (b) as set forth in the Company SEC Reports filed prior to the date hereof (without giving effect to any amendment to any such Company SEC Report filed on or after the date hereof and excluding disclosures in the Company SEC Reports contained in the “Risk Factors” (other than with respect to any factual information regarding non-compliance disclosed therein) or “Forward Looking Statements” sections or any other forward-looking statements or other disclosures to the extent such disclosures are general, non-specific, forward-looking or cautionary in nature, in each case, other than factual information contained therein), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub that:

SECTION 6.02 Company Shareholders’ Meeting.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall cause a definitive Proxy Statement, letter to shareholders, notice of meeting and form of proxy accompanying the definitive Proxy Statement that will be provided to the holders of Shares in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at the Shareholders’ Meeting, to be mailed to the holders of Ordinary Shares at the earliest practicable date after the date that the SEC confirms it has no further comments, and, if necessary in order to comply with applicable Laws, after the Proxy Statement shall have been so mailed, promptly circulate amended, supplemental or supplemented proxy material, and, if required in connection therewith, re-solicit proxies.

(b) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the SEC confirms that it has no further comments on the Schedule 13E-3 and Proxy Statement, the Company shall take, in accordance with applicable Law and its memorandum and articles of association, all action reasonably necessary to (i) call, give notice of, set a record date for, and convene the shareholders’ meeting for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Company Vote (the “Shareholders’ Meeting”), (ii) instruct or otherwise cause the Depositary to (A) fix the record date established by the Company for the Shareholders’ Meeting as the record date for determining the holders of ADSs who shall be entitled to give instructions for the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs (the “Record ADS Holders”), (B) provide all proxy solicitation materials to all Record ADS Holders and (C) vote all Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs in accordance with the instructions of such corresponding Record ADS Holders. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the only matter (other than procedural matters) that shall be proposed to be acted upon by the shareholders of the Company at the Shareholders’ Meeting shall be approval of this Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the Merger.

(c) The Company may, and Parent may request that the Company, adjourn or postpone the Shareholders’ Meeting for up to thirty (30) days (but in any event no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Termination Date) (x) if as of the time for which the Shareholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) (A) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Shareholders’ Meeting or (B) voting in favor of approval of this Agreement and the Transactions to obtain the Requisite Company Vote or (y) at the reasonable request of any party hereto, in order to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and, if necessary or desirable, mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure to be reviewed by the Company’s shareholders prior to the Shareholders’ Meeting, in which event the Company shall, in each case, cause the Shareholders’ Meeting to be adjourned or postponed.

(d) Once the Company has established the record date, the Company shall not change such record date or establish a different record date for the Shareholders’ Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent, unless required to do so by applicable Law, the memorandum and articles of association of the Company, or if the Board has determined (based on the advice of outside legal counsel) that failure to do so would be reasonably likely to violate the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law. In the event that the date of the Shareholders’ Meeting as originally called is for any reason adjourned or postponed or otherwise delayed, the Company agrees that, unless Parent shall have otherwise approved in writing, it shall implement such adjournment or postponement or other delay in such a way that the Company does not establish a new record date for the Shareholders’ Meeting, as so adjourned, postponed or delayed, except as required by applicable Law or the memorandum and articles of association of the Company, or if the Board has determined (based on the advice of outside legal counsel) that failure to do so would be reasonably likely to violate the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(e) Subject to Section 6.04(c), the Company Board shall recommend to holders of the Shares that they approve and authorize this Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the Transactions, and shall include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from its shareholders proxies in favor of the approval of this Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the Transactions and shall take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to secure the Requisite Company Vote. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligations of the Company under this Section 6.02 shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission to it of any Acquisition Proposal, or by any Change in the Company Recommendation.

(f) Unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms or the Company Board has effected a Change in the Company Recommendation, Parent and Merger Sub shall, at the Shareholders’ Meeting, vote, or cause their respective controlled Affiliates that own Shares to vote, all Shares for which Parent, Merger Sub such controlled Affiliates, as applicable, have voting power, in favor of the authorization and approval of this Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the Transactions.

SECTION 6.03 Access to Information.

(b) No investigation pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall affect any representation or warranty in this Agreement of any party hereto or any condition to the obligations of the parties hereto.

SECTION 6.04 No Solicitation of Transactions.

(a) The Company agrees that no Group Company and none of the directors or officers of any Group Company shall, and that it shall direct its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives (including, without limitation, any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it or any Group Company), not to, in each case, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing information in a manner designed to encourage), or take any other action designed to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer (including, without limitation, any proposal or offer to its shareholders) that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, or (ii) enter into, maintain or continue discussions or negotiations with, or provide any nonpublic information relating to any Group Company or the Transactions to, any person or entity in connection with, or in order to obtain, an Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) agree to, approve, adopt, endorse or recommend (or publicly propose to agree to approve, adopt, endorse or recommend) any Acquisition Proposal, or enter into any letter of intent, Contract, commitment or obligation contemplating or otherwise relating to, or consummate, any Acquisition Proposal (in each case, other than to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 6.04(c)), or (iv) authorize or permit any of the officers, directors or Representatives of any Group Company to take any action set forth in clauses (a)(i) — (a)(iii) of this Section 6.04. The Company shall notify Parent in writing as promptly as practicable (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours after the Company attains knowledge) of any proposal or offer, or any request for information or other inquiry or request, that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, specifying (x) the material terms and conditions thereof and providing, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements, (y) the identity of the party making such proposal or offer or inquiry or contact, and (z) whether the Company has determined to provide confidential information to such person. The Company shall keep Parent informed, on a reasonably current basis (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours of the occurrence of any material changes, developments, discussions or negotiations) of the status and terms of any such proposal, offer, inquiry, contact or request and of any material changes in the status and terms of any such proposal, offer, inquiry, contact or request (including the material terms and conditions thereof) and providing, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements. The Company immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Third Party which prohibits the Company from providing such information to Parent, or release any Third Party from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement in connection with an Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.04(a), but subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Section 6.04, prior to obtaining the Requisite Company Vote, the Company Board may directly or indirectly, including through the Company’s Representatives, (i) contact any Third Party that has made an unsolicited, written, bona fide proposal or offer regarding an Acquisition Proposal that was not initiated or solicited in breach of Section 6.04(a) solely in order to clarify the terms and conditions thereof so as to assess whether such proposal or offer constitutes or is reasonably expected to result in a Superior Proposal, and (ii) furnish information to, and enter into discussions with, such Third Party to the extent the Special Committee has (A) determined in good faith (after consultation with a financial advisor who shall be an internationally recognized investment banking firm and outside legal counsel, as applicable) that such proposal or offer constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, and that, in light of such Superior Proposal, failure to furnish such information to or enter into discussions with such Third Party would be reasonably likely to violate the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (B) obtained from such person an executed confidentiality agreement on terms no less favorable to the Company in the aggregate than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement and any related agreements shall not include any provision for any exclusive right to negotiate with such party or having the effect of prohibiting the Company from satisfying its obligations under this Agreement); provided that the Company shall provide written notice to Parent prior to taking any action set forth in clauses (b)(i) or (b)(ii) of this Section 6.04 and shall concurrently make available to Parent any material information concerning any Group Company that is provided to any such person and that was not previously made available to Parent or its Representatives.

(c) Except as set forth in this Section 6.04(c), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, or propose (publicly or otherwise) to withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Recommendation (any of such actions, a “Change in the Company Recommendation”) or adopt, approve, endorse or recommend, or propose (publicly or otherwise) to adopt, approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal, provided that a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board or the Special Committee pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act, or any substantially similar communication with respect to an Acquisition Proposal which did not result from any breach of this Section 6.04(c) shall not be deemed to be a Change in the Company Recommendation, nor (ii) cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, Contract, commitment or obligation with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to compliance by the Company and the Company Board with this Section 6.04, prior to the receipt of the Requisite Company Vote, if the Company has received an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal and the Special Committee determines, in its good faith judgment, upon advice by a financial advisor who shall be an internationally recognized investment banking firm and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and failure to make a Change in the Company Recommendation would be reasonably likely to violate the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Company Board may, upon the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, effect a Change in the Company Recommendation with respect to such Superior Proposal but only if:

(1) prior to effecting a Change in the Company Recommendation, the Company shall have complied with the requirements of Sections 6.04(a) and 6.04(b) and shall (x) provide prior written notice to Parent on or before the later of (I) five (5) Business Days prior to effecting a Change in the Company Recommendation and (II) such date as would provide the notice period required to permit Merger Sub to exercise its right of first refusal under and in accordance with the Investment Documents (the “Notice Period”) advising Parent that the Company Board has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and identifying the person making such Superior Proposal and indicating that the Company Board intends to effect a Change in the Company Recommendation and the manner in which it intends (or may intend) to do so, it being understood that such notice or any amendment or update thereto or the determination to so deliver such notice shall not constitute a Change in the Company Recommendation, (y) negotiate with and cause its financial and legal advisors to negotiate with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Superior Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal or so that a failure to effect a Change in the Company Recommendation would no longer be reasonably likely to violate the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (z) permit Parent and its Representatives to make a presentation to the Company Board and the Special Committee regarding this Agreement and any proposed modifications or adjustments with respect thereto (to the extent Parent desires to make such presentation) and consider in good faith any modification or adjustments regarding this Agreement proposed by Parent; provided that any material modifications to such Acquisition Proposal that the Special Committee previously determined to be a Superior Proposal shall be deemed a new Acquisition Proposal and the Company shall be required to again comply with the requirements of this Section 6.04(c);

(2) Ali ET Investment Holding Limited has not exercised its right of first refusal under the Investor Documents with respect to such Superior Proposal prior to the end of the Notice Period; and

(3) following the end of the Notice Period (and any renewed period thereof), the Special Committee shall have unanimously determined in good faith (after consultation with a financial advisor who shall be an internationally recognized investment banking firm and outside legal counsel, as applicable,) after considering the terms of any modifications or adjustments to this Agreement proposed by Parent, that (x) such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and (y) with respect to a Change in the Company Recommendation, failure to effect a Change in the Company Recommendation would be reasonably likely to violate the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Laws, and shall have communicated its unanimous recommendation to the Company Board to effect a Change in the Company Recommendation with respect to such Superior Proposal.

SECTION 6.05 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) The memorandum and articles of association of the Surviving Company shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation, advancement of expenses and indemnification than are set forth in the memorandum and articles of association of the Company in effect as of the date hereof, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors or officers of the Company, unless such modification shall be required by Law.

(b) The Surviving Company shall maintain in effect for six (6) years from the Effective Time, the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company as of the date hereof with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, including acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions (the parties covered thereby, the “Indemnified Parties”); provided, however, that the Surviving Company may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions that are no less favorable, and provided, further, that in no event shall the Surviving Company be required to expend pursuant to this Section 6.05(b) more than an amount per year equal to 250% of current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance. In addition, the Company may and, at Parent’s request, the Company shall, purchase a six (6)-year “tail” prepaid policy prior to the Effective Time on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties than the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company. If such “tail” prepaid policies have been obtained by the Company prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the respective obligations thereunder, and all other obligations of Parent or Surviving Company under this Section 6.05(b) shall terminate.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.05, from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall comply with all of the Company’s obligations, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to comply with their respective obligations to indemnify and hold harmless (including any obligations to advance funds for expenses) the present and former officers and directors thereof against any and all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (“Damages”), arising out of, relating to or in connection with (i) the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company or such Subsidiary or (ii) any acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to or at the Effective Time, to the extent provided under the Company’s or such Subsidiaries’ respective organizational and governing documents or agreements in effect on the date hereof (true and complete copies of which shall have been delivered to Parent prior to the date hereof) and to the fullest extent permitted by the CICL or any other applicable Law, including the approval of this Agreement, the Merger or the other Transactions or arising out of or pertaining to the Transactions and actions to enforce this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any such person; provided that this Section 6.05(c) is not intended to confer any new or additional rights on any such person, and the indemnification and other obligations of the Company set forth above shall be subject to any limitation imposed from time to time under applicable Law, the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ respective organizational and governing documents in effect as of the date hereof, or any agreements set forth on Section 6.05(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule in effect as of the date of this Agreement.

(d) A person seeking indemnification in accordance with Section 6.05(c) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Surviving Company to prevent the Surviving Company or any of its Subsidiaries from being materially and adversely prejudiced by late notice. The right of the Surviving Company (or a Subsidiary nominated by it), if any, to participate in and/or assume the defense of any Action in respect of which indemnification is sought under Section 6.05(c) shall be determined in accordance with the applicable agreement or document providing for such indemnification.

(e) In the event the Surviving Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Company or at Parent’s option, Parent, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.05.

(f) The provisions of this Section 6.05 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their heirs and legal representatives, each of which shall be a third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 6.05.

(g) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.05 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under any such policies.

SECTION 6.06 Notification of Certain Matters. Each of the Company and Parent shall promptly notify the other in writing of:

(a) any notice or other communication from any person alleging that the consent of such person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions;

(b) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions;

(c) any Actions commenced or, to the knowledge of the Company or the knowledge of Parent, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parent and any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed by such party pursuant to any of such party’s representations and warranties contained herein, or that relate to such party’s ability to consummate the Transactions; and

(d) if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of such party set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause the conditions set forth in Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 7.03 not to be satisfied;

together, in each case, with a copy of any such notice, communication or Action; provided, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.06 shall not (A) cure any breach of, or non-compliance with, any other provision of this Agreement, (B) be deemed to amend or supplement the Company Disclosure Schedule, or (C) limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

If requested by Parent in writing in connection with obtaining the CFIUS Approval, the Company shall, or shall commit to, hold separate, restructure, reorganize, sell, divest, dispose of or make subject to operational or other restrictions any of its businesses, services or assets prior to, at or following the Closing (provided that any such action shall be subject to the occurrence of the Closing and any such action taken prior to Closing shall be terminable in the event that the Closing does not occur or this Agreement is terminated); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall require Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective affiliates to take or commit to take any such actions or otherwise take or commit to any other action that limits its freedom of action (or the freedom of action of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) with respect to, or its ability (or the ability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) to retain, any of its businesses, services or assets (or any businesses, services or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries).

To the extent requested by Parent in writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to Closing, on the Closing Date, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to Parent duly signed resignations, which shall include a waiver of any claims against the Group Companies in respect of such resignations, effective as of the Effective Time, of the directors of any Group Company designated by Parent.

SECTION 8.03 Fees and Expenses.

(a) Subject to Section 8.03(b), all Expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Transactions are consummated. “Expenses”, as used in this Agreement, shall include all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, all fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, investment bankers, experts, financing sources and consultants to a party hereto and its affiliates) incurred by a party or on its behalf in connection with or related to the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement, the preparation, printing and filing of the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3 and the mailing or other dissemination of the Proxy Statement, the solicitation of shareholder approvals, the filing of any required notices under applicable Law and all other matters related to the consummation of the Transactions.

(b) The Company agrees that:

(i) if Parent shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(d)(i) or Section 8.01(d)(ii); or

then the Company shall, subject to the next sentence, pay or cause to be paid to Parent promptly (but in any event, no later than two (2) Business Days after the first of such events shall have occurred) a fee of US$40,000,000 (forty million dollars) (the “Company Termination Fee”), by wire transfer of same day funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by Parent. In addition, if (x) either Parent or the Company shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(iii) under circumstances in which the Company Termination Fee is not then payable pursuant to this Section 8.03(b), the Company shall, within twenty (20) Business Days following receipt of an invoice therefor, reimburse Parent and Merger Sub for all of their reasonably documented Expenses incurred prior to such termination, which amount shall in no event exceed US$4,000,000 (four million dollars) in the aggregate, by wire transfer of same day funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by Parent, regardless of the existence of circumstances which could require the Company thereafter to pay or cause to be paid to Parent a Company Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 8.03(b); provided, that in the event the Company shall be required to pay a Company Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 8.03(b), the Company shall be entitled to credit the aggregate amount of Expenses of Parent and Merger Sub actually reimbursed by the Company to Parent (or an affiliate designated by Parent) pursuant to this Section 8.03(b) against the amount of such Company Termination Fee.

(c) Parent agrees that if (i) (A) the Company or Parent shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(ii), (B) the Company has not breached in any material respect any of its covenants or other agreements hereunder and (C) all other conditions to Closing (other than those that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied or waived, (ii) the Company shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(c), or (iii) (A) the Company or Parent shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(i), (B) the Company has not breached in any material respect any of its covenants or other agreements hereunder and (C) all other conditions to Closing (other than those that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied or waived except for the condition set forth in Section 7.01(b), then Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the Company promptly (but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination) a fee of US$100,000,000 (one hundred million dollars) (the “Parent Termination Fee”), by wire transfer of same day funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by the Company.

(d) In the event that the Company shall fail to pay the Company Termination Fee, or Parent shall fail to pay the Parent Termination Fee, when due and in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, the Company or Parent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the other party for all costs and expenses actually incurred or accrued by the other party (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with the collection under and enforcement of this Section 8.03, together with interest on such unpaid Company Termination Fee or Parent Termination Fee, as the case may be, commencing on the date that the Company Termination Fee or Parent Termination Fee, as the case may be, became due, at the prime rate established by the Wall Street Journal Table of Money Rates on such date plus 2.00%. Such collection expenses shall not otherwise diminish in any way the payment obligations hereunder.

(e) Each party acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 8.03 are an integral part of the Transactions, (ii) the damages resulting from termination of this Agreement under circumstances where a Company Termination Fee or Parent Termination Fee is payable are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation and therefore, the amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.03(b) or Section 8.03(c) are not a penalty but rather constitute amounts akin to liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent or the Company, as the case may be, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, and (iii) without the agreements contained in this Section 8.03, the parties hereto would not have entered into this Agreement.

SECTION 8.04 Limitations on Liabilities.

(a) In no event shall any party or any of such party’s affiliates be entitled to seek the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement other than as set forth in Section 9.07. For the avoidance of doubt, while the Company or Parent may pursue both a grant of specific performance obligating such party to consummate the Merger as permitted by Section 9.07 and the payment of the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.03(c) or the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.03(b), as applicable, and any amounts pursuant to Section 8.03(d) (if any), under no circumstances shall the Company or Parent be permitted or entitled to receive both such grant of specific performance and the payment of the Parent Termination Fee, in the case of the Company, or the Company Termination Fee, in the case of Parent. If Parent pays the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.03(c), then such payment shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company-Related Parties against the Parent-Related Parties and no Parent-Related Party shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions, including the failure of the Merger to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder (whether intentionally, unintentionally, knowingly, willfully or otherwise) or otherwise. If the Company pays the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.03(b), then such payment shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent-Related Parties against the Company-Related Parties and no Company-Related Party shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions, including the failure of the Merger to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder (whether intentionally, unintentionally, knowingly, willfully or otherwise) or otherwise.

SECTION 8.05 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto by action taken by Parent and the Company (provided that, in the case of the Company, such action must be taken or authorized by the Special Committee) at any time prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that, after the approval of this Agreement and the Transactions by the shareholders of the Company, no amendment may be made that would reduce the amount or change the type of consideration into which each Share (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) shall be converted upon consummation of the Merger. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

SECTION 8.06 Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, any party hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of any other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any agreement of any other party or any condition to its own obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
