The Company is not in violation of the listing requirements of the SEHK or the NYSE and has no knowledge of any facts that would reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of its Common Shares from the SEHK or of its American depository receipts from the NYSE in the foreseeable future, apart from such suspension from SEHK and/or NYSE in connection with or resulting from the entering into of this Agreement. As used herein, “knowledge” shall mean actual knowledge of the executive officers (as defined in Rule 405 under the 0000 Xxx) of the Company after due inquiry.

(g) No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Buyer’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 hereof, none of the Company, any of its affiliates, or any Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act, whether through integration with prior offerings or otherwise, or cause the offering of Securities hereunder to require approval of shareholders of the Company for purposes of any applicable shareholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the SEHK and the NYSE. None of the Company, their affiliates and any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps referred to in the preceding sentence that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings for purposes of any such applicable shareholder approval provisions.

(h) Public Documents. The Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act or with the SEHK and has timely issued all announcements and circulars required to be issued by it by the SEHK or the NYSE (all of the foregoing filed or announced prior to the date of this Agreement and all exhibits included therein and financial statements, notes and schedules thereto and documents and incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter referred to as the “Public Documents”). As of their respective filing or issuance dates, the Public Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder and the rules and regulations of the SEHK and the NYSE, as applicable, to the respective Public Documents, and, other than as corrected or clarified in a subsequent Public Document, none of the Public Documents, at the time they were filed or issued, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

- 10 -

(i) Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements (including any related notes thereto) included or incorporated by reference in the Public Documents fairly presented in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates indicated therein and the consolidated results of their operations for the periods specified therein, other than as corrected or clarified in a subsequent Public Document. Such financial statements were prepared in material conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applied on a materially consistent basis (except as may be noted therein). The financial statements of the Company as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 included in the Public Documents are hereinafter referred to as the “Results”. Since December 31, 2007, the Company and its subsidiaries do not have any material liabilities or obligations required under GAAP to be set forth on a consolidated balance sheet (accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise), other than (i) liabilities or obligations reflected on, reserved against, or disclosed in the Company’s balance sheet as of September 30, 2008, (ii) liabilities or obligations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) liabilities incurred since September 30, 2008 in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices and any liabilities incurred pursuant to this Agreement.

(j) Internal Controls and Procedures. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures as such terms are defined in, and required by, Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 under the 1934 Act. Such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or furnishes under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. The Company maintains a system of internal controls over financial reporting sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; and (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The Company’s management has completed an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s system of internal controls over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, and such assessment concluded that such controls were effective and the Company’s independent registered accountant has issued (and not subsequently withdrawn or qualified) an attestation report concluding that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. As of the date hereof, to the knowledge of the Company, there is no reason that its chief executive officer and chief financial officer will not be able to give the certifications and attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, without qualification, when next due.

- 11 -

(k) No Material Adverse Effect. Since December 31, 2007, no event or circumstance has occurred that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(l) Litigation. There are no claims, suits, actions or proceedings pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries before any court, governmental department, commission, agency, instrumentality or authority, or any arbitrator that seeks to restrain or enjoin the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or which could reasonably be expected, to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(m) Pre-emptive Rights.

(i) If the Company proposes, following the Closing, to issue any new Common Shares, any securities convertible into or exchangeable into Common Shares or any warrants or other rights to subscribe for Common Shares (“Relevant Securities”), the Company shall notify Buyer in writing of such proposal (an “Issue Notice”).

(A)

in the case of the Relevant Securities that would result in a single investor or investor group acting in concert (other than an underwriter that is placing on behalf of the Company the Relevant Securities in a bona fide capital markets transaction) (collectively, the “Prospective Largest Shareholder”) beneficially owning more than the Buyer and HKCo in the aggregate, one share more than the number of shares in the Company proposed to be beneficially owned by such Prospective Largest Shareholder; unless:

	(2)		at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Company’s Board (which shall, for the purposes of this Section 4(m)(ii), exclude the Buyer Nominees) in good faith resolving in writing that the implementation of this Section 4(m)(ii)(A) is not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole; or

(B)

a pro rata portion of the Relevant Securities equal to the percentage of the issued share capital of the Company then beneficially owned by the Buyer (together with the HKCo) prior to the issuance of the Relevant Securities, provided that the Buyer and HKCo maintains an ownership interest equal to at least 1,849,547,150 shares (as appropriately adjusted for stock splits, stock consolidation, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like) of the total nominal share capital of the Company,

- 21 -

in each case upon the same terms and conditions set forth in the Issue Notice, by giving written notice to the Company of the exercise of this right within ten (10) Business Days (as defined below) of the giving of the Issue Notice. If such notice is not given by the Buyer within such ten (10) Business Days (as defined below), the Buyer shall be deemed to have elected not to exercise its rights under this Section 4(m)(ii) with respect to the issuance described in that specific Issue Notice (it being understood that if the Buyer is not permitted to exercise its rights under Section 4(m)(ii)(A)(2) due to the failure to reach the necessary threshold specified therein, the Buyer shall be entitled to exercise its rights under Section 4(m)(ii)(B) by giving notice within ten (10) Business Days (as defined below) of receiving written notice of the Board’s action). The parties acknowledge that any rights of the Buyer to purchase the Relevant Securities pursuant to this Section 4(m)(ii) will lapse if completion thereof does not occur simultaneously with the Buyer’s completion of the offering of Relevant Securities or at such other time and place as shall be mutually agreed by the Company and the Buyer, provided that if the reason for the Buyer’s failure to complete by the time specified above is solely due to a delay of the Governmental Entity in granting the relevant authorizations, approvals, permits, qualifications or exemptions, the Buyer shall notify the Company in writing at least seven (7) days prior to the completion of the offering of the Relevant Securities to extend the completion date for Buyer to a date within three (3) months or such other reasonable period as may be mutually agreed between the parties following the completion of the issue of the Relevant Securities, after such period the right to the Buyer to purchase the Relevant Securities pursuant to this Section 4(m)(ii) shall lapse. A notice given by the Buyer pursuant to this section shall be irrevocable.

(iii) Subject to Section 4(m)(ii) above, the completion of the Buyer’s purchase of Relevant Securities pursuant to section (ii) above shall occur simultaneously with the completion of the offering of Relevant Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, the completion by the Company of the offering of the Relevant Securities shall not be affected by the timing of the completion of any issue of the Relevant Securities to the Buyer or HKCo. The Buyer shall execute and deliver to the Company all transaction documents related to Buyer’s purchase of Relevant Securities as may be reasonably requested by the Company prior to the completion of the Buyer’s purchase of Relevant Securities. At such completion, the Buyer shall deliver the aggregate purchase price for the Relevant Securities to be purchased by the Buyer pursuant to Section 4(m)(ii) above.

(iv) Any Common Shares issued to the Buyer pursuant to this Section 4(m)(ii) above shall be issued on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as the Relevant Securities are issued to any proposed third party purchaser(s), such terms and conditions being set out in the Issue Notice.

(5) an issue of Common Shares as fully paid to holders of Common Shares (including without limitation, Common Shares paid up out of distributable profits or reserves and/or share premium account issued in lieu of the whole or any part of any cash dividend and free distributions or bonus issue of Common Shares); provided that such issuance of Common Shares is also made to Buyer (including HKCo, if applicable) ;

(6) an issue of the Relevant Securities pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation by the Company by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization or to a joint venture agreement; provided, that such issuance is approved by the Board;

(8) an issue of Relevant Securities in connection with sponsored research, collaboration, technology license, development, OEM, marketing or other similar agreements or strategic partnerships approved by at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Board (which shall, for the purposes of this Section 4(m)(v)(8), exclude the Buyer Nominees);
