          2. The Company covenants with Xxxxxxx Xxxxx that the Company will comply with all applicable securities and other applicable laws, rules and regulations in each foreign jurisdiction in which the Reserved ADSs are offered or sold in connection with the Reserved Share Program.

          3. The Company will pay all costs and expenses of the Underwriters, including the fees and expenses of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx’x counsel, in connection with matters related to the Reserved Share Program and all stamp duties, similar taxes or duties or other taxes, if any, incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the Reserved Share Program.

          4. In connection with the offer and sale of the Reserved ADSs, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, its affiliates and selling agents and each person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act (collectively, the “Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Parties”), from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending, investigating or settling any such action or claim), as incurred, (i) arising out of the violation of any applicable laws or regulations of foreign jurisdictions where Reserved ADSs have been offered; (ii) arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus wrapper or other material prepared by or with the consent of the Company for distribution to Invitees in connection with the offering of the Reserved ADSs or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, provided, however, that the Company will not be liable under this clause (ii) to the extent that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Party specifically for use therein; (iii) caused by the failure of any Invitee to pay for and accept delivery of Reserved ADSs which have been orally confirmed for purchase by any Invitee by 9:00 a.m. on the first business day after the date of the Underwriting Agreement; or (iv) related to, or arising out of or in connection with, the offering of the Reserved ADSs; provided that no indemnity will be available under this paragraph 4 to any Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Party if such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses have been finally judicially determined to have resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Party.

          5. The Company has not offered, or caused the Representatives to offer, Reserved ADSs to any person with the specific intent to unlawfully influence (i) a customer or supplier of the Company or any of its affiliates to alter the customer’s or supplier’s level or type of business with any such entity or (ii) a trade journalist or publication to write or publish favorable information about the Company or any of its affiliates, or their respective businesses or products.
