4.	ADJUSTMENTS TO EXCHANGE RATE

4.1

The Exchange Rate as of the date of this Agreement shall be 1:1. The Exchange Rate shall be adjusted accordingly if there is (i) any subdivision of the Holdings B Shares into a greater number of Holdings B Shares or consolidation of the Holdings B Shares into a smaller number of Holdings B Shares (in each case howsoever effected, including by way of share split, reverse share split, share distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or any similar event, in each case that is not accompanied by an identical adjustment of the Parent A Shares, or (ii) any sub-division of the Parent A Shares into a greater number of Parent A Shares or consolidation of the Parent A Shares into a smaller number of Parent A Shares (in each chase howsoever effected, including by way of share split, reverse share split, share distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or any similar event, in each case that is not accompanied by an identical adjustment of the Holdings B Shares, in either case, an “Adjustment Event”.

For example, and purely for illustrative purposes, if an Adjustment Event occurs pursuant to which each Holdings B Share is sub-divided from one share of US$0.01 each into ten shares of US$0.001 each, then the Exchange Rate should be adjusted so that, immediately following such Adjustment Event, the Exchange Rate would be 10:1, i.e. ten Holdings B Shares would be exchanged for one Parent A Share.

4.2

If there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Parent A Shares are converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, then upon any subsequent Exchange, Parent shall procure that the relevant Continuing Investors Partnership or EPA Holdings (as the case may be) shall receive an amount of such security, securities or other property that such person would have received if such Exchange had occurred immediately prior to the effective date of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalisation or other similar transaction, taking into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision into a greater number of securities or other property or consolidation into a smaller number of securities or other property (in each case howsoever effected, including by way of share split, reverse share split, share distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or any similar event that occurs after the effective time of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction.

4.3

For the avoidance of doubt if there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Parent A Shares are converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, Parent shall procure that this clause 4 shall continue to be applicable, mutatis mutandis, with respect to such security or other property.

5.	TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

5.1	Each Continuing Investors Partnership understands and agrees, and EPA Holdings understands and agrees, that:

(a)

the Parent A Shares to be issued following completion of an Exchange (any such Parent A Shares, being referred to herein as “Parent Restricted A Shares”) may not be transferred except in compliance with the Securities Act, any other applicable securities or “blue sky” laws, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement;

Parent shall ensure to the fullest extent possible in accordance with applicable law that at all times it is able to issue in compliance with its constitution and applicable law the maximum number of Parent A Shares required by applicable law for the purposes of issuing Parent A Shares upon the exchange of Holdings B DRs and Holdings B Shares or EPA B DRs and EPA B Shares for Parent A Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

7.2

If any Parent A Shares require registration with or approval of any Governmental Entity under any federal, state or national law before such Parent A Shares may be issued following an Exchange, Parent shall use reasonable efforts to cause such Parent A Shares to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be.

7.3	Parent shall list and register (where required) and use its reasonable efforts to maintain the listing and registration (if applicable) of the Parent A Shares required to be delivered

7.6

Save to the extent expressly contemplated by this Agreement (and to the extent within their power), Parent and Holdings shall use all reasonable efforts to remove any impediment that in the good faith judgment of Parent and Holdings would cause any Exchange to be prohibited by applicable law or regulation or that would case an Exchange to violate any contract, commitment, agreement, instrument, arrangement, understanding, obligation or undertaking to which the Parent or Holdings is subject.
