2.8. Withdrawal from Underwriting. If any Holder of Registrable Securities disapproves of the terms of the Public Offering, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the managing underwriters and the balance of the Holders proposing to distribute their securities through the Public Offering, prior to the signing of the applicable underwriting agreement.

2.9. Other Securities Laws. In connection with a Registration pursuant to this Section 2, the Company shall exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to Register and qualify the securities covered by the Registration Statement under the securities laws of any other jurisdictions as shall be reasonably appropriate for the distribution of the securities, except for any particular state or jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such Registration, qualification, or compliance.

3. Liquidated Damages

(b)

Liquidated Damages shall be payable on the Outstanding Principal Amount at a rate of 0.50% per annum calculated daily for each day of an Effectiveness Default until such time as the Holders of Registrable Securities are again able to make sales under such Registration Statement; provided, however, that if an Effectiveness Default resulted from the occurrence of a Suspension Event, Liquidated Damages shall be payable only if such Effectiveness Default has existed for more than 10 days, whether or not consecutive, in any 90-day period.

(c)

In the event Liquidated Damages are payable for more than 30 consecutive days under Section 3.2(a), then the Liquidated Damages shall be payable in respect of the Outstanding Principal Amount after such 30 days at a rate of 0.50% per annum calculated daily for each day after the 30^th day.

Liquidated Damages shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed, and shall be payable by the Company to the Holders (other than holders of the DB Fee Shares), in the manner such Holders notify the Company, on each Interest Payment Date (as defined in the EB Trust Deed).

3.3. Notwithstanding any Section to the contrary, Liquidated Damages may not accrue in respect of the Registrable Securities under more than one of paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 3.1 at the same time.

(xx)

use all reasonable efforts to facilitate the distribution and sale of any Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation by making road show presentations, holding meetings with potential investors and taking such other actions as shall be requested by the majority Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement or the lead managing underwriter of an underwritten offering.

(b)

Each selling Holder of the Registrable Securities as to which any Registration is being effected pursuant to this Agreement agrees, as a condition to the Registration obligations with respect to such Holder provided herein, to furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder required to be included in the Registration Statement, the ownership of the Registrable Securities by such Holder and the proposed distribution by such Holder of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.

(c)

The terms of this Agreement are drafted primarily in contemplation of securities offerings in the United States. The Parties recognize, however, the possibility that the Company might seek to effect an offering in the United States in the form of American Depositary Receipts or American Depositary Shares. Accordingly, it is agreed that if the Company shall undertake any listing of American Depositary Receipts, American Depositary Shares or any other security derivative of the

Ordinary Shares, the Company shall make arrangements satisfactory to Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities to ensure that the spirit and intent of this Agreement shall be realized and that the Company is committed to take such actions as are necessary such that the Holders will enjoy rights corresponding to the rights hereunder to sell their Registrable Securities in a public offering in the United States of America as if the Company had listed Ordinary Shares in lieu of such derivative securities. In addition, the parties recognize the possibility that there may also be one or more registrations in a jurisdiction other than the United States. It is, accordingly, the parties’ intention that whenever this Agreement refers to a law or institution of the United States but the parties wish to effectuate a registration in a different jurisdiction, reference in this Agreement to the laws or institutions of the United States shall be read as referring, mutatis mutandis, to the comparable laws or institutions of the jurisdiction in question. Without prejudice to the foregoing, in the event of a Complying IPO on a stock exchange in Hong Kong or London, the Company must ensure that the Registrable Securities are admitted to trading on that stock exchange (and where applicable admitted to any applicable official list) at the same time as all of the other shares of the Company to be listed.

7. Indemnification.

7.1. Company’s Indemnification of Holders. To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each Holder, each of its officers, directors, partners, agents, legal counsel for the Holders, and each Person controlling that Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to which Registration, qualification, or compliance of the Registrable Securities has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, the respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees, representatives and agents of any such Holder or any such controlling Person, and each underwriter, if any, and each of its officers, directors, partners, agents and each Person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, or actions in respect thereof (collectively, “Damages”) to the extent the Damages arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or other document incident to any Registration, qualification, or compliance, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or any violation by the Company (or alleged violation) of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, applicable Blue Sky laws, or other applicable laws in the jurisdiction other than the United States in which the Registration occurred, applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any Registration, qualification, or compliance; and the Company shall reimburse each such Holder, each underwriter, each of their respective officers, directors, partners, agents, legal counsels, and each Person who controls any Holder or underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 7.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Damages if settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld); and provided, further, that the Company will not be liable in any case to the extent that any Damages arise out of or are based upon any untrue

statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) made in that Registration Statement, prospectus, or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by a Holder or underwriter, if any, and expressly stated to be specifically for use in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other document.

7.2. Holder’s Indemnification of Company. To the extent permitted by law, each Holder shall, if the Registrable Securities held by that Holder are included in the securities as to which Registration, qualification or compliance is being effected pursuant to this Agreement, indemnify the Company, each Person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, the respective officers, directors, partners members, employees, representatives and agents of the Company or controlling Person (each, a “Holder Indemnified Person”), against all Damages arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, or other document incident to any Registration, qualification or compliance, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and shall reimburse each Holder Indemnified Person for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any claim, loss, damage, liability, or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that the untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in that Registration Statement, Prospectus, or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by that Holder and expressly stated to be specifically for use in such Registration Statement, prospectus or other document, provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 7.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Damages if settlement is effected without the consent of that Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and provided, further, that each Holder’s liability under this Section 7.2 shall not exceed the Holder’s proceeds net of Selling Expenses.

7.3. Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof and generally summarize the action. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and to assume the defense of that claim; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall be entitled to select counsel for the defense of the claim with the approval of any parties entitled to indemnification, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that if either party reasonably determines that there may be a conflict between the position of the Company and the Holders in conducting the defense of the action, suit, or proceeding by reason of recognized claims for indemnity under this Section 7, then counsel for that party shall be entitled to conduct the defense to the extent reasonably determined by counsel to be necessary to protect the interests of that party. The failure to notify an indemnifying party promptly of the commencement of any action, if prejudicial to the ability of the indemnifying party to defend the action, shall relieve the indemnifying party, to the extent so prejudiced, of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 7, but the omission to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the party of any liability that the party may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7.

7.4. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any Damages, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of those Damages in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in Damages as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying or the indemnified party and the parties, relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent the statement or omission. The Parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 7.4. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Holders in this Section 7.4 to contribute shall be several in proportion to the percentage of the amount of Registrable Securities offered by them and not joint.

7.5. Conflicts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

7.6. Survival of Obligations. Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into with the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 7 shall survive the completion of any offering of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement under this Agreement or otherwise.

7.7. Indemnification not Exclusive. The obligations of the Company under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any indemnified person and the obligations of any indemnified person under this Section 5 shall be in addition to any liability which such indemnified person may otherwise have to the Company. The remedies provided in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to an indemnified party at law or in equity.

8. Reports. With a view to making available to Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and Rule 144A under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without Registration, the Company agrees while any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, to:

(a)

make and keep adequate current public information with respect of the Company available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first Registration Statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the public;

(b)

take all commercially reasonable action necessary to enable the Holders to utilize Form F-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities, such action to be taken as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year in which the first Registration Statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general public is declared effective;

(c)

file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and, upon request, furnish a written statement to the Holders that it has complied with such requirements.

(d)

for a Registration in a jurisdiction other than the United States, take actions similar to those set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 8 with a view to making available to Holders the benefits of the corresponding provision or provisions of that jurisdiction’s securities laws; and

(e)

so long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, if the Company is not required to file reports and other documents under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, it will make available other information as required by, and so long as necessary to permit sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 and Rule 144A.

9. Compliance with Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. The Company covenants that it will fully comply with all the requirements of the United States Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, as amended, and any rules and regulations thereunder adopted from time to time by the SEC and any other applicable laws, in each case to the extent applicable to the Company,

10. Miscellaneous.

10.1. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
