ARTICLE 2

INTEREST; PAYMENTS; DEFAULTS

2.1. PIK Note and Default Interest.

(a) PIK Note. On each Quarterly Payment Date, the Company shall issue a convertible note to the Purchaser substantially in the form as attached to the Purchase Agreement as Exhibit B (each an “PIK Note”) for a principal amount equal to, assuming interest is payable on the outstanding principal amount of this Note, the interest payable on such Quarterly Payment Date as calculated at a rate of 5.00% per annum, compounded on each Quarterly Payment Date and computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of all PIK Note(s) issued prior to such Quarterly Payment Date shall be excluded from the foregoing calculation, and (ii) any portion of the principal amount of this Note which has been converted or which the Company has elected to settle by paying the Cash Alternative Amount or the Cash Settlement Amount prior to such Quarterly Payment Date shall not be deemed outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not issue any principal amount less than US$1,000 and will pay cash in lieu of such principal amount.

(b) Default Interest. In the event that this Note is redeemed or repaid pursuant to Article 5 (Put Option) or Sections 2.4, 2.5 or 3.7 and payment of principal, redemption monies or the Cash Alternative Amount is improperly withheld or refused on the Payment Due Date, any unpaid amount on this Note will bear interest at 5% per annum from and including the due date for redemption or payment thereof after due presentation of this Note Certificate and any other documents required under this Note (the “Payment Due Date”) to and excluding the date such unpaid amount in respect of this Note is paid as provided in Section 2.2 (“Default Interest”). If Default Interest on this Note is required to be calculated for less than a complete year, it will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and, for partial months, on the basis of actual days elapsed over a 30-day month.

2.2. Payment. The Company shall pay an amount equal to 110% of the outstanding principal amount of this Note on the Maturity Date upon the presentation of this Note Certificate to the Registrar for cancellation. For the avoidance of doubt, any portion of the principal amount of this Note which has been converted or which the Company has elected to settle by paying the Cash Alternative Amount or the Cash Settlement Amount shall not be deemed outstanding and will not be repayable by the Company. All amounts payable on or in respect of this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby will be paid to the Holder in U.S. dollars, in immediately available funds on the date that any amount is due and payable hereunder. The Company will make such payments on each such date to the Holder by wire transfer of immediately available funds for the account of the Holder as the Holder may designate from time to time and notify in writing to the Company at least three (3) Business Days prior to each payment date. If any such payment date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest on such payment will accrue in respect of the delay.

2.3. Seniority. This Note ranks senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to this Note, equal in right of payment to any of the Company’s future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company that are not so subordinated, junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally junior to all future indebtedness incurred by the Company’s Subsidiaries and their other liabilities (including trade payables).

2.4. Events of Default. For purposes of this Note, an “Event of Default” will be deemed to have occurred if any of the following events occur, whatever the reason or cause for such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority or otherwise:

(a) Failure to Pay. The Company defaults in the payment of principal or premium of this Note when due and payable on the Maturity Date, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise;

(b) Breach of Conversion Obligation. The Company fails to comply with its obligation to convert all or a portion of this Note in accordance with Article 3 upon the Holder’s exercise of its Conversion Rights and such failure continues for a period of two (2) Business Days;

(c) Breach of Other Obligations. The Company fails for 30 calendar days after written notice from the Holder has been received by the Company to comply with any of its other agreements contained in this Note or the Purchase Agreement;

(d) Illegality; Unenforceability. This Note will be (i) illegal or unenforceable in any material respect or (ii) terminated prior to its scheduled termination date (other than pursuant to Section 11.2), and such condition continues for 10 consecutive Trading Days;

(e) [Reserved];

(f) Adverse Judgment. Final judgments or orders for the payment, singly or in the aggregate, of US$5,000,000 (or the foreign currency equivalent thereof) or more (excluding any amounts covered by insurance) is rendered against the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, which judgment or order is not paid, bonded or otherwise discharged or stayed within 60 calendar days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the right to appeal thereof has expired if no such appeal has commenced and (ii) the date on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished;

(g) Security Enforced. Any mortgage, charge, pledge, lien or other encumbrance, present or future, created or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is enforced (including the taking of possession or the appointment of a receiver, administrative receiver, administrator, manager or other similar person), and is not discharged within 30 calendar days;

(h) Bankruptcy. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries will commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or any such Subsidiary or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of the Company or any such Subsidiary or all or substantially all of its property, or will consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or will make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or will fail generally to pay its debts as they become due;

(i) Involuntary Proceedings. An involuntary case or other proceeding will be commenced against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or such Subsidiary or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of the Company or such Subsidiary or all or substantially all of its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding will remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of 30 consecutive calendar days; or

(j) Analogous Events. Any event occurs which under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction has an analogous effect to any of the events referred to in Sections 2.4(f) to 2.4(i).

2.5. Consequences of Event of Default.

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company will promptly deliver written notice thereof to the Holder. If one or more Events of Default will have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it will be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority), then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 2.4(g) or Section 2.4(h) with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), unless the principal of this Note will have already become due and payable, the Holder may, by notice in writing to the Company, declare 100% of the outstanding principal of this Note to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same will become and will automatically be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 2.4(g) or Section 2.4(h) with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries occurs and is continuing, 100% of the outstanding principal of this Note will become and will automatically be immediately due and payable without any action on the part of the Holder.

(b) Subsection (a) above, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the outstanding principal of this Note will have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due will have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company will pay or will deposit with the Holder a sum sufficient to pay the outstanding principal of this Note that will have become due otherwise than by acceleration, and if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) any and all existing Events of Default under this Note, other than the nonpayment of the principal on this Note that will have become due solely by such acceleration, will have been cured or waived, then and in every such case the Holder, by written notice to the Company, may waive all defaults or Events of Default with respect to this Note and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and such default will cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Note; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment will extend to or will affect any subsequent Event of Default, or will impair any right consequent thereon.

2.6. Damages. If a competent court rules that either party is in breach of terms of this Note and the other party suffers damages, losses, costs or expenses as a result, remedies payable by this party to the non-breaching party will be the damages as determined by the court.

ARTICLE 3

CONVERSION

3.1. Conversion by Xxxxxx. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 3, the Holder will have the right from time to time, at the Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion of this Note and (if any) PIK Note(s) (the “Conversion Right”) (provided that the portion to be converted is at least US$1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of this Note and (if any) PIK Note(s) and any integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof) to the Company’s fully paid ADSs at any time during the Conversion Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is not obligated to give effect to any exercise of conversion rights (including the Conversion Rights granted under this Note and similar conversion rights granted to the Purchaser under the PIK Notes) more than once every seven (7) calendar days.

3.2. [Reserved].

3.3. Conversion Price. Subject to adjustments as provided in Sections 4.2 and 4.3, the price at which ADSs will be delivered upon conversion (the “Conversion Price”) will be the U.S. dollar amount equal to 0.90 (the “Fixed Discount”) times the lowest of:

(i)

the arithmetic average of the VWAP of the ADSs over the five (5) Trading Day-period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date; and

(ii)

the fixed per-ADS price of US$8.50 (the “Fixed Price”), subject to adjustments as provided in Article 4,

provided, however, that if the Conversion Price calculated using the above formula is higher than the U.S. dollar amount calculated by multiplying the Fixed Discount times the arithmetic average of the VWAP of the ADSs during the five (5) Trading Days commencing on the first trading day following the date of delivery of the ADSs to the converting Holder (the “Reference Conversion Price” and such period, the “Reference Conversion Price Period”), then the Conversion Price will be deemed to be the “Reference Conversion Price” and an additional number of ADSs will be delivered to the converting Holder as soon as reasonably practicable and no later than five (5) Business Days from the end of the Reference Conversion Price Period, such that the total number of ADSs delivered to such converting Holder will be equal to the total number of ADSs that would have been deliverable had the number of ADSs initially delivered to the converting Holder been calculated using the Reference Conversion Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Conversion Price or the Reference Conversion Price be less than the Floor Price, subject to adjustments as provided in Article 4.

In all calculations of the Conversion Price, if the relevant Conversion Notice is delivered to the Company on a day that is not a Trading Day, the Conversion Notice will be deemed to have been delivered on the next day that is a Trading Day.

3.4. Conversion Period. The Conversion Right attaching to this Note may be exercised, at the option of the Holder, at any time on and after the 41st day after the Original Issue Date up to the close of business on the Maturity Date (the “Conversion Period”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Conversion Date in respect of this Note would otherwise fall during a period in which the register of ADSs of the Depositary is closed generally or for the purpose of establishing entitlement to any distribution or other rights attaching to the ADSs (a “Book Closure Period”), such Conversion Date will be postponed to the first Trading Day following the expiry of such Book Closure Period.

3.5. Revival and/or survival after Default. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.6, if the Company defaults in making payment in full in respect of the principal or the Cash Alternative Amount on the Payment Due Date, the Conversion Right attaching to such Note equivalent to such unpaid principal or Cash Alternative Amount will revive and/or will continue to be exercisable up to, and including, three (3) Business Days preceding the date upon which the full amount of the moneys payable in respect of such Note has been duly paid to the Holder pursuant to Section 2.2.

3.6. Conversion Procedure; Settlement Upon Conversion.

(a) This Note will be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has delivered (1) a duly completed and executed irrevocable written notice to the Registrar in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”), (2) the certificate evidencing this Note (the “Note Certificate”) to the Registrar for cancellation or notation of the outstanding principal amount of this Note after partial conversion, and (3) the ADS conversion documents pursuant to the procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time to the Registrar and the Depositary. On or before the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Registrar will transmit by facsimile or other electronic means a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder (the “Receipt Confirmation” and such date of transmission, the “Receipt Confirmation Date”). Within five (5) Business Days after the relevant Receipt Confirmation Date, the Company will (i) take all actions and execute all documents and procure that the Depositary take all actions and execute all documents necessary to effect the issuance of the number of ADSs to which the Holder will be entitled in satisfaction of any conversion pursuant to Sections 3.1, (ii) cause entries on the Company’s register of members to be entered with respect to the Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs in the name of the Depositary for the purpose of such deposit and (iii) subject to Section 3.6(c), cancel this Note Certificate. No Conversion Notice may be delivered and this Note Certificate may not be surrendered by the Holder for conversion thereof if the Holder has also delivered a Relevant Event Put Exercise Notice to the Registrar in respect of this Note and not validly withdrawn such Relevant Event Put Exercise Notice in accordance with Section 5.3. A single certificate will be issued in respect of all ADSs issued on conversion of this Note subject of the same Conversion Notice.

(b) The Company will not issue any Fractional ADS upon conversion of this Note and will instead pay cash in lieu of any Fractional ADS deliverable upon conversion based on the VWAP of the ADSs on the relevant Conversion Date.

(c) In the event the Holder presents this Note Certificate to the Registrar pursuant to Section 3.6(a) for partial conversion, the Registrar will record the outstanding principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the presented Note Certificate on the Register and the “Schedule of Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note in respect of which this Note Certificate is issued” attached to this Note Certificate and update the Register to reflect such outstanding principal amount. Such recoding will be made without payment of any service charge by the Holder.

(d) If the Holder submits this Note Certificate to the Registrar for conversion, the Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the delivery of the ADSs upon such conversion of this Note (or the issuance of the underlying Ordinary Shares), unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such ADSs (or such Ordinary Shares) to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder will pay that tax. The Company will pay the relevant Depositary’s fees for issuance of the ADSs.

(e) The number of ADSs to be issued on conversion of a Note will be determined by dividing the principal amount of Note to be converted by the Conversion Price (in the event of Fractional ADS, cash in lieu of such Fractional ADS shall be paid pursuant to Section 3.6(b)). The Company’s settlement of each conversion pursuant to this Article 3 will be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of this Note converted.

(f) If the record date for the payment of any dividend or other distribution in respect of the Original Shares is on or after the Conversion Date in respect of this Note, but before the issuance of the ADS to the Holder, the Company will calculate and directly pay to the converting Holder an amount in U.S. dollars (the “Equivalent Amount”) equal to the Fair Market Value of such dividend or other distribution to which the Holder would have been entitled had the Depositary on that record date been such a shareholder of record of Original Shares and will make the payment at the same time as it makes payment of the dividend or other distribution, or as soon as practicable thereafter, but, in any event, not later than seven (7) Business Days thereafter.

(g) Except as provided in Section 3.6(f), no adjustment will be made for dividends on any ADSs delivered upon any conversion of this Note as provided in this Article 3.

3.7. Cash Alternative Election.

Upon receiving a Conversion Notice, the Company may, at its sole option, make an election (the “Cash Alternative Election”) to satisfy the exercise of the Conversion Right in respect of such Conversion Notice, in whole and not in part, by paying the Cash Alternative Amount to such converting Holder. The Company will inform the Holder of its exercise of the Cash Alternative Election by giving notice to the Holder in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Cash Alternative Election Notice”) within five (5) Business Days after the Receipt Confirmation Date (the “Cash Alternative Election Notice Date”).

The “Cash Alternative Amount” is an amount in U.S. dollars equal to the number of ADSs that would be deliverable upon conversion of the principal amount to be converted pursuant to the relevant Conversion Notice multiplied by the VWAP of the ADSs over the three (3) trading days immediately following the Cash Alternative Election Notice Date (the “Cash Alternative Amount Determination Period”). For the avoidance of doubt, the number of ADSs that would be deliverable upon conversion shall be computed based on the provisions of Section 3.3 above.

The Company will pay the Cash Alternative Amount by the later of (i) the next succeeding Quarterly Payment Date or (ii) the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the end of the Cash Alternative Amount Determination Period.

3.8. Equivalent Original Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, if the converting Holder is, or is holding this Note on behalf of a beneficial owner who is, an “affiliate” of the Company as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, unless (i) Cash Settlement applies or (ii) the Cash Alternative Election applies and the Company makes such Cash Alternative Election, the Company’s obligation to deliver ADSs pursuant to the relevant Conversion Notice will be satisfied by the Company’s delivery of Equivalent Original Shares represented by a share certificate with the applicable restrictive legend. “Equivalent Original Shares” means the number of Original Shares represented by the number of ADSs to be delivered by the Company pursuant to the relevant Conversion Notice.

3.9. Cash Settlement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the Company is under no obligation to deliver Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) to a converting Holder if such delivery would result in the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) to be delivered pursuant to such Conversion Notice (such notice the “Latest Conversion Notice”) taken together with the aggregate number of Original Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) delivered by the Company pursuant to the exercise of Conversion Rights since the Original Issue Date up to the date prescribed for delivery by the Latest Conversion Notice to exceed 19.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of the Original Issue Date (the “Share Cap”). In such event, the Company may, at its sole option, make an election to deliver the maximum number of ADSs such that the delivery does not exceed the Share Cap and any portion of the principal amount designated in the Latest Conversion Notice that is not so converted (the “Remaining Amount”) will be settled by the Company by paying the Cash Settlement Amount to such converting Holder.

The “Cash Settlement Amount” is an amount in U.S. dollars equal to the number of ADSs that would be deliverable upon conversion of a principal amount equal to the Remaining Amount multiplied by the VWAP of the ADSs over the three (3) trading days immediately following the Company’s election to pay the Cash Settlement Amount (the “Cash Settlement Determination Period”). For the avoidance of doubt, the number of ADSs that would be deliverable upon conversion shall be computed based on the provisions of Section 3.3 above.

The Company will pay the Cash Settlement Amount by the later of (i) the next succeeding Quarterly Payment Date or (ii) the fifth (5th) Business Day after the end of the Cash Settlement Determination Period.

ARTICLE 4

ADJUSTMENTS

4.1. Adjustment to Fixed Price and Floor Price.

(a) Upon the happening of any of the following events described in this Article 4, the Fixed Price of US$8.50, which represents a per-Share price of US$0.85 (the “Conversion Share Price”), will be adjusted such that the adjusted Fixed Price will be the Conversion Share Price, as adjusted pursuant to Sections 4.1.1 to 4.1.12, multiplied by 10.0 (the “ADS Ratio”), which is the ratio of each ADS representing ten (10) Ordinary Shares. If there is a change in the ratio of ADSs to the Ordinary Shares as of the relevant calculation date, the ADS Ratio will be adjusted to reflect the then-current ratio (the “Current ADS Ratio”).

(b) Upon the happening of any of the following events described in this Article 4, the Floor Price of US$0.10 per ADS, which represents a Floor Share Price of US$0.01 per Share, will be adjusted such that the adjusted Floor Price will be the Floor Share Price, as adjusted pursuant to Sections 4.1.1 to 4.1.12, multiplied by the Current ADS Ratio.

4.1.1 Consolidation, Subdivision or Reclassification:

(i) If and whenever the Company will issue any Shares as a dividend, including as a Scrip Dividend, or distribution on the Shares, or if the Company shall effect a share split or share combination, each of the Conversion Share Price and the Floor Share Price will be adjusted by multiplying each of the Conversion Share Price and the Floor Share Price in force immediately before such alteration by the following fraction:

where:

A is the number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the applicable dividend date or effective date; and

B is the number of Shares outstanding immediately after the open of business on the applicable ex-dividend date or effective date; and

Such adjustment will become effective immediately after the open of business on the applicable ex-dividend date or effective date.

4.1.2 [Reserved]

4.1.3 Distributions

(i) If and whenever the Company will pay or make any Non-Cash Distribution to the Shareholders (except to the extent that the Conversion Share Price and the Floor Share Price fall for adjustment within the provisions of Section 4.1.1), each of the Conversion Price, the Conversion Share Price and the Floor Share Price will be adjusted, without duplication, by multiplying each of the Conversion Price, the Conversion Share Price and the Floor Share Price in force immediately prior to the ex-dividend date of such Non-Cash Distribution by the following fraction:

A – B

where:

A is the Current Market Price of one Share on the applicable ex-dividend date; and

B is the Fair Market Value on the applicable ex-dividend date of the portion of the Non-Cash Distribution attributable to one Share or, in the case of a purchase, redemption or buyback of Shares, the Per Share Deemed Dividend Amount as specified in clause (iii) of the definition of “Dividend.”

Such adjustment will become effective as of the open of business on the applicable ex-dividend date or, if later, the first date upon which the Fair Market Value of the Non-Cash Distribution is capable of being determined as provided in this Section 4.1.

(ii) If and whenever the Company will pay or make any Cash Distribution to the Shareholders, each of the Conversion Price, the Conversion Share Price and the Floor Share Price will be adjusted, without duplication, by multiplying each of the Conversion Price, the Conversion Share Price and the Floor Share Price in force immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such Cash Distribution by the following fraction:

A – B

where:

A is the Current Market Price of one Share on the applicable ex-dividend date; and

B the amount of the Cash Distribution on a per-Share basis.

Such adjustment will become effective as of the open of business on the applicable ex-dividend date on which such Cash Distribution is actually made or if a record date is fixed therefor, immediately after such record date.

4.1.4 Rights Issues of Shares or Options over Shares: If and whenever the Company will issue Shares to all or substantially all Shareholders as a class by way of rights, or issue or grant to all or substantially all Shareholders as a class, by way of rights, options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase or otherwise acquire any Shares, in each case at less than the Current Market Price per Share on the date of the announcement of the terms of the issue or grant, each of the Conversion Share Price and the Floor Share Price will be adjusted by multiplying each of the Conversion Share Price and the Floor Share Price in force immediately before such issue or grant by the following fraction:

A + B

A + C

where:

A is the number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the applicable ex-dividend date;

B is the number of Shares which the aggregate amount (if any) payable for the Shares issued by way of rights or for the options or warrants or other rights issued or granted by way of rights and for the total number of Shares comprised therein would subscribe, purchase or otherwise acquire at such Current Market Price per Share; and

C is the aggregate number of Shares issued or, as the case may be, comprised in the grant.

Such adjustment will become effective as of the open of business on the ex-dividend date of such Shares or issue or grant of such options, warrants or other rights (as the case may be).

4.1.5 [Reserved]

4.1.6 Issues at less than Current Market Price: If and whenever the Company will issue (other than as mentioned in Section 4.1.4) any Shares (other than Shares issued as underlying Shares of ADSs on the exercise of Conversion Rights or on the exercise of any other rights of conversion into, or exchange or subscription for, Shares) or issue or grant (other than as mentioned in Section 4.1.4) any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any Shares, in each case at a price per Share which is less than the Current Market Price on the date of announcement of the terms of such issue or grant, each of the Conversion Share Price and the Floor Share Price will be adjusted by multiplying each of the Conversion Share Price and the Floor Share Price in force immediately before such issue by the following fraction:

A + B

where:

A is the number of Shares in issue immediately before the issue of such additional Shares or the grant of such options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Shares;

B is the number of Shares which the aggregate consideration receivable for the issue of such additional Shares would purchase at such Current Market Price per Share; and

C is the number of Shares in issue immediately after the issue of such additional Shares.

References to additional Shares in the above formula will, in the case of an issue by the Company of options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase Shares, mean such Shares to be issued assuming that such options, warrants or other rights are exercised in full at the initial exercise price on the date of issue of such options, warrants or other rights.

Such adjustment will become effective on the date of issue of such additional Shares or, as the case may be, the grant of such options, warrants or other rights.

4.1.7 Other Issues at less than Current Market Price: Save in the case of an issue of securities arising from a conversion or exchange of other securities in accordance with the terms applicable to such securities themselves falling within the provisions of this Section 4.1.7, if and whenever the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (otherwise than as mentioned in Sections 4.1.4, 4.1.5 or 4.1.6) or (at the direction or request of or pursuant to any arrangements with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) any other person (otherwise than as mentioned in Sections 4.1.4, 4.1.5 or 4.1.6) will issue any securities which by their terms of issue carry rights of conversion into, or exchange or subscription for, Shares to be issued by the Company upon conversion, exchange or subscription at a consideration per Share which is less than the Current Market Price on the date of announcement of the terms of issue of such securities. In such an event, each of the Conversion Share Price and the Floor Share Price will be adjusted by multiplying each of the Conversion Share Price and the Floor Share Price in force immediately before such issue by the following fraction:

A + B

A + C

where:

A is the number of Shares in issue immediately before such issue;

B is the number of Shares which the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company for the Shares to be issued on conversion or exchange or on exercise of the right of subscription attached to such securities would purchase at such Current Market Price; and

C is the maximum number of Shares to be issued on conversion or exchange of such securities or on the exercise of such rights of subscription attached thereto at the initial conversion, exchange or subscription price or rate.

Such adjustment will become effective on the date of issue of such securities.

4.1.8 Modification of Rights of Conversion etc.: If and whenever there will be any modification of the rights of conversion, exchange or subscription attaching to any such securities as are mentioned in Section 4.1.7 (other than in accordance with the terms of such securities) so that the consideration per Share (for the number of Shares available on conversion, exchange or subscription following the modification) is less than the Current Market Price on the date of announcement of the proposals for such modification, each of the Conversion Share Price and the Floor Share Price will be adjusted by multiplying each of the Conversion Share Price and the Floor Price in force immediately before such modification by the following fraction:

A + B

A + C

where:

A is the number of Shares in issue immediately before such modification;

B is the number of Shares which the aggregate consideration (if any) receivable by the Company for the Shares to be issued, or otherwise made available, on conversion or exchange or on exercise of the right of subscription attached to the securities, so modified, would purchase at such Current Market Price per Share or, if lower, the existing conversion, exchange or subscription price of such securities; and

C is the maximum number of Shares to be issued, or otherwise made available, on conversion or exchange of such securities or on the exercise of such rights of subscription attached thereto at the modified conversion, exchange or subscription price or rate but giving credit in such manner as an Independent Investment Bank consider appropriate (if at all) for any previous adjustment under this Section 4.1.8 or Section 4.1.7.

Such adjustment will become effective on the date of modification of the rights of conversion, exchange or subscription attaching to such securities.

4.1.9 [Reserved]

4.1.10 Other Events: If the Company determines that an adjustment should be made to the Conversion Share Price and the Floor Share Price as a result of one or more events or circumstances not referred to in this Section 4.1, the Company will at its own expense request an Independent Investment Bank to determine as soon as practicable what adjustment (if any) to the Conversion Share Price and the Floor Share Price is fair and reasonable to take account thereof, if the adjustment would result in a reduction in the Conversion Share Price and the Floor Share Price, and the date on which such adjustment should take effect and upon such determination by the Independent Investment Bank such adjustment (if any) will be made and will take effect in accordance with such determination, provided that where events or the circumstances giving rise to any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.1 have already resulted or will result in an adjustment to the Conversion Share Price and the Floor Share Price or where the circumstances giving rise to any adjustment arise by virtue of events or circumstances which have already given rise or will give rise to an adjustment to the Conversion Share Price and the Floor Share Price, such modification (if any) will be made to the operation of the provisions of this Section 4.1 as may be advised by the Independent Investment Bank to be in its opinion appropriate to give the intended result.

4.1.11 Definitions: For purposes of Section 3.6(f) and this Section 4.1:

“Cash Distribution” means (i) any Dividend which is to be made or paid in cash (in whatever currency) and (ii) any Dividend determined to be a Cash Distribution pursuant to paragraph (i) of the definition of “Dividend” and for the avoidance of doubt a Dividend falling within paragraph (iii) of the definition of Dividend will be treated as a Non-Cash Distribution.

“Current Market Price” means, in respect of a Share at a particular time on a particular date, the Current ADS Ratio multiplied by the average of the Last Reported Sale Price or, as the case may be, by the Eligible Market for one ADS (being an ADS representing Shares carrying full entitlement to dividend) for the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on and including the Trading Day immediately preceding such date.

“Distribution” means a Cash Distribution or a Non-Cash Distribution.

“Dividend” means any dividend or distribution to Shareholders whether of cash, assets or other property, and however described and whether payable out of share premium account, profits, retained earnings or any other capital or revenue reserve or account, and including a distribution or payment to holders upon or in connection with a reduction of capital (and for these purposes a distribution of assets includes without limitation an issue of Shares or other securities credited as fully or partly paid up by way of capitalization of profits or reserves), provided that:

(i) where (1) a Dividend in cash is announced which is to be, or may at the election of a Shareholder or Shareholders be, satisfied by the issue or delivery of Shares or other property or assets, or where a capitalization of profits or reserves is announced which is to be, or may at the election of a Shareholder or Shareholders be, satisfied by the payment of cash, then the Dividend or capitalization in question will be treated as a Cash Distribution of an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Fair Market Value of such cash amount and (ii) if greater than the Fair Market Value of such cash amount, the Current Market Price of such Shares or, as the case may be, the Fair Market Value of such other property or assets, in any such case as at the date of the first public announcement of such Dividend or capitalization (as the case may be) or, if later, the date on which the number of Shares (or amount of such other property or assets, as the case may be) which may be issued or delivered is determined; or (2) there will be any issue of Shares by way of capitalization of profits or reserves (including any share premium account or capital redemption reserve) where such issue is or is expressed to be in lieu of a Dividend (whether or not a cash Dividend equivalent or amount is announced or would otherwise be payable to Shareholders, whether at their election or otherwise), the capitalization in question will be treated as a Cash Distribution of an amount equal to the Current Market Price of such Shares as at the date of the first public announcement of such capitalization or, if later, the date on which the number of Shares to be issued or transferred and delivered is determined;

(ii) any issue of Shares falling within Section 4.1.2 will be disregarded;

(iii) a purchase, redemption or buyback of share capital of the Company by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will not constitute a Dividend unless the weighted average price (before expenses) on any one day in respect of such purchases, redemptions or buybacks exceeds the Current Market Price of the Shares, either (1) on that date, or (2) where an announcement has been made of the intention to purchase, redeem or buyback Shares at some future date at a specified price, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such announcement and, if in the case of either (1) or (2), the relevant day is not a Trading Day, the immediately preceding Trading Day, in which case such purchase, redemption or buyback will be deemed to constitute a Dividend in an amount by which the aggregate price paid (before expenses) in respect of such Shares purchased, redeemed or bought back by or on behalf of the Company or, as the case may be, any of its Subsidiaries exceeds the product of (i) the Current Market Price of the Shares determined as aforesaid and (ii) the number of Shares so purchased, redeemed or bought back (the “Per Share Deemed Dividend Amount”).

“Fair Market Value” means, with respect to any assets, security (including options and warrants) or right on any date, the fair market value of that asset, security or right as determined by an Independent Investment Bank using where possible and appropriate relevant commonly accepted market valuation methodology and taking account of such factors as the Independent Investment Bank considers appropriate, including, without limitation, market price, dividend yield, volatility, prevailing market price, prevailing interest rates and the terms of such securities or rights, including as to the expiry date and exercise price (if any) thereof; provided that (i) the fair market value of a cash dividend paid or to be paid per Share will be the amount of such cash dividend per Share determined as at the date of announcement of such dividend; and (ii) where securities or rights are publicly traded in a market of adequate liquidity (as determined by such Independent Investment Bank) the fair market value of such securities or rights will equal the arithmetic mean of the daily closing prices of such securities or rights during the period of five trading days on the relevant market commencing on the first such trading day such securities or rights are publicly traded.

“Independent Investment Bank” means an independent investment bank of international repute selected by the Company at its expense.

“Non-Cash Distribution” means any Dividend which is not a Cash Distribution, but excludes a Scrip Dividend adjusted for under Section 4.1.1.

“Relevant Cash Dividend” means the aggregate cash dividend or distribution declared by the Company, including any cash dividend in respect of which there is a Scrip Dividend.

“Scrip Dividend” means any Shares issued in lieu of cash as part of any Relevant Cash Dividend, being a dividend which the Shareholders concerned would or could otherwise have received (and for the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment is to be made under Section 4.1.3 in respect of the amount by which the Current Market Price of the Shares exceeds the Relevant Cash Dividend or the relevant part thereof but without prejudice to any adjustment required in such circumstances to be made under Section 4.1.1).

“Shares” means ordinary shares of the Company, par value US$0.01 per ordinary share, at the date of this Note, or shares of any class or classes resulting from any subdivision, consolidation or re-classification of those shares, which as between themselves have no preference in respect of dividends or of amounts payable in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

“Shareholders” means holders of the Shares.

4.1.12 For purposes of this Section 4.1, the number of Shares at any time outstanding will not include Shares held in the treasury of the Company (directly or in the form of ADSs) so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on Shares held in the treasury of the Company (directly or in the form of ADSs), but will include Shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Shares.

4.2. Provisions Relating to Changes in Conversion Share Price, the Floor Share Price or Conversion Price.

4.2.1 Minor adjustments: On any adjustment, the resultant Floor Price or Conversion Price, if not an integral multiple of one U.S. dollar cent, will be rounded down to the nearest one U.S. dollar cent. No adjustment will be made where such adjustment (rounded down if applicable) would result in less than 1% change of the Floor Price or the Conversion Price, as applicable, then in effect. Any adjustment not required to be made, and any amount by which the Floor Price or the Conversion Price has not been rounded down, will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Notice of any adjustment will be given by the Company to the Holder in accordance with Section 11.3 as soon as practicable after the determination thereof, and, if applicable, such notice will include a statement of any adjustments to the VWAP of the ADSs pursuant to this Section 4.2.1 as of a relevant date, as well as a statement of how such adjustments were calculated.

4.2.2 Minimum Conversion Price: The Conversion Price may not be reduced so that, on a conversion of this Note, ADSs or Shares will be required to be issued in any circumstances not permitted by applicable Law.

4.2.3 Multiple Events: Where more than one event which gives or may give rise to an adjustment to the Conversion Share Price, the Floor Share Price or the Conversion Price occurs within such a short period of time that, in the opinion of an Independent Investment Bank, the foregoing provisions would need to be operated subject to some modification in order to give the intended result, such modification will be made to the operation of the foregoing provisions as may be advised by such Independent Investment Bank to be in its opinion appropriate in order to give such intended result.

4.2.4 Upward adjustment: No adjustment involving an increase in the Conversion Share Price will be made, except in the case of a consolidation, subdivision or reclassification of the Shares as referred to in Section 4.1.1, or to correct an error.

4.2.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 4, the Floor Share Price and the Conversion Share Price will not be adjusted:

(i) upon the issuance of any Shares or ADSs pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in Shares or ADSs under any plan;

(ii) upon the issuance of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Shares or ADSs, and other incentive-based awards or instruments granted under the Company’s existing (as may be amended from time to time hereafter) or future equity incentive plans;

(iii) any issuance of Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) pursuant to the exercise, vesting or exchange of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Shares or ADSs, and other incentive-based awards or instruments granted or to be granted under the Company’s existing (as may be amended from time to time hereafter) or future equity incentive plans; or

(iv) solely for a change in the par value of the Shares.

4.2.6 All calculations and other determinations under this Article 4 will be made by the Company in good faith and will be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of an ADS.

4.3. Certain Covenants.

(a) The Company covenants that all ADSs delivered upon any conversion of this Note, and all Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs, will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

(b) The Company covenants that if any ADSs to be provided for the purpose of any conversion of this Note, or any Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs, require registration with or approval of any Governmental Authority under any Law before such ADSs may be validly issued upon conversion, the Company will, to the extent then permitted by applicable Law, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

(c) The Company further covenants that, for as long as the ADSs are listed on the Nasdaq or any other national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Company will list and keep listed, so long as the ADSs will be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any ADSs deliverable upon any conversion of this Note.

(d) The Company further covenants to take all actions and obtain all approvals and registrations required with respect to any conversion of this Note into ADSs and the issuance of the Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs. The Company also undertakes to maintain, as long as this Note remains outstanding, the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form F-6 relating to the ADSs and an adequate number of ADSs available for issuance thereunder, such that ADSs can be delivered in accordance with the terms of this Note and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement upon any conversion hereunder or thereunder. In addition, the Company further covenants to provide the Holder with a reasonably detailed description of the mechanics for the delivery of ADSs upon any conversion of this Note upon written request by the Holder.

(e) The Holder hereto acknowledges and agrees that (i) nothing herein will require the Company to file a shelf or other registration statement for the resale of this Note, the ADSs deliverable upon conversion of all or any portion of this Note or the Ordinary Shares represented thereby and (ii) the Holder may only resell this Note, the ADSs delivered upon conversion of all or any portion of this Note or the Ordinary Shares represented thereby pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities Laws.

4.4. Notice for Certain Actions. In case of any (a) action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Share Price and the Floor Share Price pursuant to Section 4.1, or (b) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Note), the Company will deliver a written notice to the Holder, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, stating as applicable (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of record of Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, (ii) the date on which such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, of record will be entitled to exchange their Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, for securities or other property deliverable upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and (iii) in the case of adjustments described in this Section 4.4(a), (x) a statement of the adjustments to the VWAP of the ADSs as of a relevant date to the extent the occurrence of the event subject of the notice is not reflected in the VWAP of the ADSs as reported by Bloomberg under the “AQR” function (or any successor function) with appropriate settings in DPDF (or any successor pages) for the relevant adjustment(s) and (y) a statement of how such adjustments were calculated. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, will not affect the legality or validity of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

4.5. Termination of Depositary Receipt Program. If the Ordinary Shares cease to be represented by ADSs issued under a depositary receipt program sponsored by the Company, all references in this Note to the ADSs will be deemed to have been replaced by a reference to the number of Ordinary Shares (and other property, if any) represented by the ADSs on the last day on which the ADSs represented the Ordinary Shares and as if the Ordinary Shares and the other property had been distributed to holders of the ADSs on that day. In addition, all references to the Last Reported Sale Price of the ADSs will be deemed to refer to the Last Reported Sale Price of the Ordinary Shares, and other appropriate adjustments, including adjustments to the Floor Share Price, the Conversion Share Price or the Conversion Price, will be made to reflect such change. In making such adjustments, where currency translations between U.S. dollars and any other currency are required, the exchange rate in effect on the date of determination will apply.

5.1. Redemption for Relevant Event.

5.1.1 Following the occurrence of a Relevant Event (as defined below), the Holder will have the right at such Holder’s option to require the Company to redeem all but not some only of such Holder’s Note on the Relevant Event Put Date at the Note’s outstanding principal amount as at the date of the Relevant Put Exercise Notice.

(iii) there has been a Change of Control.

5.2. Redemption Following Exercise of a Put Option.
