ARTICLE IV

TAX COVENANTS

4.1 Compliance with U.S. Tax Requirements. So that SOF can timely determine and comply with its U.S. tax reporting and payment obligations with respect to its Ownership in the Company, the Company and PEWC each hereby agree and covenant as follows:

(a) Compliance with Subpart F Rules. The Company shall, with respect to each taxable year of SOF during any part of which SOF held Shares of the Company, determine whether SOF was a “United States shareholder”, as defined in Code Section 951(b), with respect to the Company (a “United States Shareholder”), for any part of such taxable year. Such determination shall be made on the basis of a review of the Schedule 13D filings of SOF so long as SOF is subject to the beneficial ownership disclosure obligations under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and otherwise on the basis of a review of the books and records of the Company and any additional information provided by SOF as to the Ownership of Shares by it or any of its Affiliates. If the Company determines that SOF was a United States Shareholder for any part of such taxable year, the Company shall retain the services of any one of the top four public accounting firms (in terms of gross revenue) headquartered in the United States, or such other SEC-qualified public accounting firm subject to the consent of SOF, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (the “Accounting Firm”), to: (i) determine for each such taxable year of SOF whether, for any part of that year, the Company was a “Controlled Foreign Corporation” (“CFC”) as defined in Code Section 957, and (ii) if the Company is a CFC, determine what amounts, if any, are includible in the gross income of SOF under Code Section 951(a) with respect to the Company, (iii) if required by the Instructions to U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form 5471 “Information Return of U.S. Persons With Respect to Certain Foreign Corporations” or otherwise by law, prepare and timely provide such Form 5471 to SOF for filing by SOF with the IRS with respect to the Company for such taxable year (for this purpose, “timely” shall mean by the due date for the Form 5471 for such year without taking into account any extension, unless SOF in its sole discretion requests and is granted an extension), and (iv) advise SOF as to the U.S. tax treatment of any distribution from the Company or of any sale of stock of the Company, including the applicability of the U.S. foreign tax credit, whether or not the Company was a CFC in the year in which the distribution was made or the Shares were sold. The Company further agrees to provide to the Accounting Firm and SOF all information and reasonable access to its books and records necessary or helpful to the

-6-

Execution Version

Accounting Firm, as requested by such Accounting Firm or SOF, to carry out the Accounting Firm’s duties under this Section and otherwise for SOF to determine and comply with its reporting and tax payment obligations under Code Section 951. If requested by the Accounting Firm or SOF, the Company shall request of each of its shareholders that own at least ten percent (10%) of the total outstanding voting stock of all classes of the Company that such shareholder complete, execute, and deliver to the Company either IRS Form W-9 “Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification” or IRS Form W-8BEN “Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding,” whichever is appropriate for such shareholder, with respect to whether such shareholder is or is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in the instructions to such forms. The Company shall have no obligation to disclose such forms or any information thereon to the Accounting Firm or to SOF except such information as is necessary to determine the Company’s status as a CFC or SOF’s status as a United States Shareholder. The Company shall comply with this Section 4.1(a) at its own expense, provided that the services referred to in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the first sentence of this Section 4.1(a) shall be provided (as necessary) to SOF at the Company’s sole expense for the taxable year of SOF ending December 31, 2009 and for each subsequent taxable year of SOF, if any, during which SOF is determined to be a United States Shareholder (in accordance with this Section 4.1(a)) on an Involuntary Basis, and otherwise at the expense of SOF, with SOF responsible for paying directly to the Accounting Firm such fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm related to the services referred to in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the first sentence of this Section 4.1(a).

(b) Certification with Respect to Subpart F. Within sixty (60) days following the close of any taxable year of SOF in which the Company determines in accordance with Section 4.1(a) hereof that SOF was a United States Shareholder, the Company shall certify in writing to SOF, based on the advice provided by the Accounting Firm selected under Section 4.1(a) above, (i) whether or not the Company was a CFC for any part of that taxable year, (ii) if the Company was a CFC for all or any part of such year, whether or not SOF was a United States Shareholder for any part of that taxable year in which the Company was also a CFC, and (iii) whether or not Form 5471 is required to be filed by SOF with respect to the Company for such taxable year. SOF agrees to provide to the Accounting Firm and the Company all information necessary or advisable, as reasonably determined and requested by the Accounting Firm or the Company, in order for the Accounting Firm to carry out its duties under this Section 4.1(b); provided that, if reasonably requested by SOF, the Accounting Firm and the Company agree to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement with respect to such information. If for any taxable year the filing of Form 5471 is necessary, upon the presentation of a completed Form 5471 to SOF by the Accounting Firm for any taxable year for filing with the IRS as provided in Section 4.1(a) above, the Company shall further certify that the Form 5471 is correct and complete. With respect to each such certification, the Company shall indemnify SOF, each of the partners of SOF, and each other Person to whom any income under Code Section 951(a) may be attributed directly or indirectly from SOF under Code Section 704 or otherwise under the Code (collectively, the “CFC Indemnified Parties”), for any interest and penalties that may be imposed on the CFC Indemnified Parties under the Code with respect to taxes owed on income determined to be reportable under Code Section 951(a) but that was not reported on Form 5471, as well as for reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by the CFC Indemnified Parties in defending against any challenge by the IRS to a decision to not file Form 5471 based upon the Company’s certification or, if one was filed, the correctness of the Form 5471 (collectively, the “CFC Losses”). In the course of any such defense, the CFC Indemnified Parties shall have sole

-7-

Execution Version

discretion with respect to the grounds for such defense, the extent to which such defense shall be pursued through administrative and judicial appeals, and the negotiation of any settlement with the IRS, except that if the Accounting Firm represents in writing to the Company and the CFC Indemnified Parties that there is at least substantial authority for any position taken on the Form 5471 (or with respect to not filing a Form 5471) that is being challenged by the IRS, the CFC Indemnified Parties shall defend that position at least through the level of IRS administrative appeals before agreeing to any settlement or payment, unless the Company otherwise agrees to a cessation or settlement of the dispute. In addition, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to include the CFC Indemnified Parties as a third party beneficiary in the engagement of the Accounting Firm for the services described in Section 4.1(a) (without modifying the legally recognized interpretation of “reasonable best efforts”, for purposes of this Shareholders’ Agreement, “reasonable best efforts” shall be deemed to exclude any requirement to divest or spin off any assets or other business operations of the Company). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of CFC Losses due to an error directly attributable to the Accounting Firm, the Company shall only be required to provide such indemnification to the CFC Indemnified Parties to the extent the Accounting Firm has not reimbursed the CFC Indemnified Parties for any CFC Losses within one year after the date of such CFC Indemnified Party making such claim against the Accounting Firm (the “CFC Accounting Claim Period”). In connection with any such Accounting Firm error, during such CFC Accounting Claim Period, SOF hereby undertakes to pursue diligently and enforce all rights and remedies against the Accounting Firm then available to it as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, prior to making any demand for indemnification on the Company. In the case of any CFC Losses directly or indirectly attributable to information supplied by SOF, or SOF’s failure to supply information, in each case pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 4.1(b), the Company shall not be required to provide indemnification to the CFC Indemnified Parties.

(c) Distributions Sufficient to Cover Taxes Imposed Under Subpart F. With respect to each taxable year of SOF for which it is determined under Section 4.1(a) above that an amount is includible in the gross income of SOF under Code Section 951(a), the Company shall, at the request of SOF and to the extent permitted by law, make a distribution to its shareholders, including SOF, on their respective Shares in an amount (in the case of SOF) equal to the amount of such inclusion multiplied by the highest marginal income tax rate for individuals in the United States in effect for the year with respect to which such inclusion occurs. Such distribution shall be made by no later than sixty (60) days following the filing by SOF with the IRS of the Form 5471 reporting the includible amount. If any additional amount of tax is later determined to be owed as a result of a challenge by the IRS as contemplated by Section 4.1(b) above or as a result of an amendment to the Form 5471 for any reason at the request or recommendation of the Accounting Firm, the Company shall make an additional shareholder distribution hereunder by no later than sixty (60) days following the remittance by SOF to the U.S. Treasury of such additional tax amount.

(d) Obligation of PEWC to Purchase Shares in Advance of CFC Status. By no later than sixty (60) days prior to any proposed sale or other Transfer by PEWC of any of the Shares Owned by PEWC, if immediately prior to such proposed sale or other Transfer the Company is not a CFC or, if the Company is a CFC, SOF is not a United States Shareholder, PEWC shall provide written Notification of such proposed sale or other Transfer to the Company, SOF, and the Accounting Firm. Such Notification shall include: (i) whether or not

-8-

Execution Version

the contemplated purchaser or other transferee is a “U.S. person” as defined in the Instructions to IRS Forms W-9 and W-8BEN, (ii) the number of Shares of each class of stock of the Company that is proposed to be sold or otherwise Transferred, (iii) in the case of a sale of Shares, the anticipated purchase price of the Shares, and (iv) the anticipated date of Transfer of the Shares. The Company shall, immediately upon receipt of such Notification, request of the Accounting Firm that it make a determination within fifteen (15) days of whether such sale or other Transfer will cause the Company to be a CFC and, if the Company is or will become a CFC as a result of the sale, cause SOF to become a United States Shareholder, and, if the determination is that, as a result of the sale or other Transfer, the Company will become a CFC and that SOF will be a United States Shareholder, PEWC shall have the obligation, exercisable solely at the discretion of SOF by written demand to PEWC delivered within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice of the Accounting Firm’s determination, to purchase from SOF all or any portion of the Shares held by SOF as SOF, in its sole discretion, shall decide, at a price per share that is the greater of: (i) the purchase price of such Shares as set forth in a binding agreement between PEWC and the proposed purchaser, or (ii) the trailing thirty (30) Trading Days’ average closing price of the Common Stock. PEWC shall include in any agreement for the sale of Shares by PEWC, or otherwise shall refuse to proceed with the Transfer of Shares unless the transferee agrees in writing directed to the Company and SOF to, a covenant by the purchaser or other transferee to assume PEWC’s obligations under this Article IV, including but not limited to this Section 4.1(d), with respect to the Shares being purchased by such purchaser or otherwise acquired by such transferee. Any purported sale or other Transfer of Shares by PEWC, or by any subsequent holder of Shares acquired from PEWC or from any such subsequent holder, that is not in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.1(d) shall be null and void, and shall not be registered in the share register of the Company.

(e) Compliance with the PFIC Rules. The Company shall, with respect to each taxable year of SOF during any part of which SOF held Shares of the Company, retain the services of the Accounting Firm to determine whether the Company is a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) as defined in Code Section 1297, and if so: (i) to assist SOF to determine whether to make a “qualified electing fund” election under Code Section 1295 (“QEF Election”) and any other election that may be available under the PFIC Rules of the Code (Sections 1291 through 1298), and if so, to make any such election (which shall be at the sole discretion of SOF), (ii) to determine what additional amounts of taxes that may be due or additional amounts of income that may be includible in the gross income of SOF for such taxable year and the character of such income under the PFIC Rules, whether as the result of an “excess distribution” under Code Section 1291 or pursuant to the rules applicable under a QEF Election or any other election made under the PFIC Rules, and (iii) to prepare and provide to SOF Form 8621 “Return of a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund” for timely filing by SOF with the IRS with respect to the Company for such taxable year. The Company further agrees to provide to the Accounting Firm and SOF all information and reasonable access to its books and records necessary or helpful to the Accounting Firm, as requested by the Accounting Firm or SOF, to carry out the Accounting Firm’s duties under this Section 4.1(e) and otherwise for SOF to determine and comply with its reporting and tax payment obligations under the PFIC Rules, and further, if a QEF Election is in effect for SOF for any taxable year, to prepare, with the assistance of the Accounting Firm, and provide to SOF for submission to the IRS as provided in IRS regulations a “PFIC Annual Information Statement” as described in IRS Regulation Section 1.1295-1(g)(1) or any successor

-9-

Execution Version

regulation thereto. The Company shall comply with this Section 4.1(e) at its own expense, provided that the services referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 4.1(e) shall be provided (as necessary) to SOF at the Company’s sole expense for the first taxable year of SOF in which the Company is a PFIC and thereafter at the expense of SOF, with SOF responsible for paying directly to the Accounting Firm such fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm related to the services referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 4.1(e).

(f) Certification with Respect to the PFIC Rules. Within sixty (60) days following the close of each taxable year of SOF, the Company shall certify in writing to SOF, based on the advice provided by the Accounting Firm selected under Section 4.1(a) above, either that the Company was not a PFIC for any part of that taxable year, or that the Company was a PFIC for some portion of that taxable year but that Form 8621 was nevertheless not required to be filed for that taxable year, or that the Company was a PFIC for that taxable year and that a Form 8621 was required to be filed by SOF for that year with respect to the Company. Upon the presentation of a completed Form 8621 to SOF by the Accounting Firm for any taxable year for filing with the IRS as provided in Section 4.1(e) above, the Company shall further certify that the Form 8621 is correct and complete. With respect to each certification, the Company shall indemnify SOF, each of the partners of SOF, and each other Person to whom any item of income or tax obligation under the PFIC rules may be attributed directly or indirectly from SOF under the Code (collectively, the “PFIC Indemnified Parties”), for any interest and penalties that may be imposed on the PFIC Indemnified Parties under the Code with respect to taxes (including any interest treated as part of the “deferred tax amount”) owed or on income determined to be reportable under the PFIC rules but that was not reported on Form 8621, as well as for reasonably attorney’s fees incurred by the PFIC Indemnified Parties in defending against any challenge by the IRS a decision to not file Form 8621 based upon the Company’s certification or, if one was filed, the correctness of the Form 8621 (collectively, the “PFIC Losses”). In the course of any such defense, the PFIC Indemnified Parties shall have sole discretion with respect to the grounds for such defense, the extent to which such defense shall be pursued through administrative and judicial appeals, and the negotiation of any settlement with the IRS, except that if the Accounting Firm represents in writing to the Company and the PFIC Indemnified Parties that there is at least substantial authority for any position taken on the Form 8621 (or with respect to not filing a Form 8621) that is being challenged by the IRS, the PFIC Indemnified Parties shall defend that position at least through the level of IRS administrative appeals before agreeing to any settlement or payment, unless the Company otherwise agrees to a cessation or settlement of the dispute. In addition, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to include the PFIC Indemnified Parties as a third party beneficiary in the engagement of the Accounting Firm for the services described in this Section 4.1(f). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of PFIC Losses due to an error directly attributable to the Accounting Firm, the Company shall only be required to provide such indemnification to the PFIC Indemnified Parties to the extent the Accounting Firm has not reimbursed the PFIC Indemnified Parties for any PFIC Losses within one year after the date of such PFIC Indemnified Party making such claim against the Accounting Firm (the “PFIC Accounting Claim Period”). In connection with any such Accounting Firm error during such PFIC Accounting Claim Period, SOF hereby undertakes to pursue diligently and enforce all rights and remedies against the Accounting Firm then available to it as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, prior to making any demand for indemnification on the Company.

(g) Distributions Sufficient to Cover Taxes Imposed Under the PFIC Rules. With respect to each taxable year of SOF for which it is determined under Section 4.1(e) above that an additional amount of tax is owed or otherwise that an amount is includible in the gross income of SOF under the PFIC Rules, the Company shall, at the request of SOF and to the extent permitted by law, make a distribution to its shareholders, including SOF, on their respective Shares in an amount (in the case of SOF) equal to the amount of such additional tax or, with respect to an inclusion in income, such inclusion multiplied by the highest marginal income tax rate for individuals in the United States in effect for the year with respect to which such inclusion occurs. Such distribution shall be made by no later than sixty (60) days following the filing by SOF with the IRS of the Form 8621 reporting the additional taxes or includible amount. If any additional amount of tax is later determined to be owed as a result of a challenge by the IRS as contemplated by Section 4.1(f) above or as a result of an amendment to the Form 8621 for any reason at the request or recommendation of the Accounting Firm, the Company shall make an additional shareholder distribution hereunder by no later than sixty (60) days following the remittance by SOF to the U.S. Treasury of such additional tax amount.

(h) General Obligation of Cooperation. In addition to any specific obligation of the Company and PEWC as set forth above in this Article IV, each of PEWC and the Company shall cooperate fully with each other, with SOF, and with the Accounting Firm selected in Section 4.1(a) above for each to carry out its obligations under this Article IV and to allow SOF to determine and fully comply with its obligations under U.S. tax law with respect to its interest in the Company, including any elections that may be available to SOF; provided, however, that the foregoing agreement regarding cooperation shall not require PEWC or the Company to incur any significant additional cost or expense, or to forego any benefit, not expressly provided for in this Shareholders’ Agreement. PEWC shall further exercise whatever authority it holds as a shareholder of the Company to cause the Company to fully comply with its obligations under this Article IV.

ARTICLE V

From and after the date hereof and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and until the termination of this Shareholders’ Agreement in accordance with Section 8.3 below, if PEWC proposes to Transfer to a Tag Along Transferee (or group of related Tag Along Transferees), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (i) Shares that constitute more than five percent (5.0%) of the issued and outstanding Shares or (ii) Shares that, when combined with the holdings of the Tag Along Transferee and its Affiliates and any other group members, would result in such Group Owning in excess of five percent (5.0%) of the outstanding Shares, then PEWC shall offer SOF the right to include in its Transfer to the Tag Along Transferee the Tag Along Shares on the same terms and conditions as PEWC (a “Tag Along Right”).

5.2 Notice. No later than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the proposed consummation date of any Transfer described in this Article V, PEWC shall provide the Tag Along Notice to SOF and the Company.

-11-

Execution Version

Tag Along Notice. Failure by SOF to respond within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the Tag Along Notice shall be regarded as a rejection of the offer made pursuant to the Tag Along Notice and a decline by SOF of its rights under this Article V with respect to such Transfer. If SOF elects to exercise such Tag Along Right, SOF shall be obligated and bound after sending such election notice to sell the Tag Along Shares, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, for a purchase price per Share described in the Tag Along Notice and upon the other terms and conditions of such transaction as agreed to by PEWC (and otherwise take all reasonably necessary action to cause consummation of the proposed transaction, including voting such Shares in favor of such transaction and becoming a party to any agreement relating to the Transfer); provided that SOF shall not be required to (i) make any representations or warranties in connection with such Transfer other than representations and warranties as to (A) SOF’s Ownership of its Shares to be sold or Transferred free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, (B) SOF’s power and authority to effect such Transfer and (C) such matters pertaining to compliance with securities laws as the Tag Along Transferee may reasonably require, (ii) agree to any indemnification obligations in connection with such transaction other than obligations (which shall be limited to the proceeds received in such Transfer) arising out of a breach by SOF of such representations and warranties or (iii) agree to any post-closing covenants other than customary further assurances covenants.

5.3 Right to Transfer. If a Tag Along Notice from SOF is not received by PEWC and the Company in accordance with Section 5.2, PEWC shall have the right to consummate the Transfer to a Tag Along Transferee without the participation of SOF, but only on terms and conditions which are no more favorable to PEWC in any material respect than those stated in the Tag Along Notice and only if the Transfer to the Tag Along Transferee occurs on a date within ninety (90) days of SOF’s receipt of the Tag Along Notice. If such Transfer to the Tag Along Transferee does not occur within such ninety (90) day period, PEWC’s right to Transfer the Tag Along Shares under the foregoing sentence shall expire and PEWC’s obligations under Section 5.1 shall be reinstated and such securities shall not be Transferred without first reoffering to SOF its Tag Along Rights in accordance with Section 5.1.

ARTICLE VI

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

6.1 Shelf Registration.

(a) The Company has prepared and filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form F-1 covering the resale of the Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415, which Registration Statement was declared effective under the Securities Act by the SEC on March 11, 2009 (the “Effectiveness Date”). Subject to the terms of this Shareholders’ Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date on which (A) all Registrable Securities (i) have been sold, or (ii) may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k), as determined by counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and reasonably acceptable to SOF and to the Company’s transfer agent and (B) after receipt by SOF of unlegended certificates representing freely transferable Shares from the transfer agent (the “Effectiveness Period”). After receipt of

-12-

Execution Version

such opinion letter, all Parties agree to use reasonable best efforts to cooperate in providing the transfer agent with all documents reasonably necessary for delivery of such unlegended certificates.

(b) If after the Effectiveness Date, a Registration Statement or Statements, as the case may be, ceases or cease for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities for which it or they is or are required to be effective, or SOF is otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, in either case, for more than thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days or more than an aggregate of sixty (60) Trading Days during any twelve (12) month period (which need not be consecutive calendar days) (any such failure or event being referred to as an “Event”), then APWC and PEWC agree that SOF will suffer irreparable damages if the Company fails to meet its obligations in this Section 6.1 and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, the Put Right described in Section 6.6 hereof shall become immediately exercisable upon the occurrence of any such Event and shall continue so long as such Event has not been cured.

(c) From and after the date of this Shareholders’ Agreement until the end of the Effectiveness Period, without the prior written consent of SOF, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Company shall not enter into an agreement that grants a holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company demand or incidental registration rights that by their terms are not subordinate to or pari passu with the registration rights granted to SOF in this Shareholders’ Agreement.

6.2 Underwritten Demand Right.

(a) From and after the date hereof and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and until the termination of this Shareholders’ Agreement in accordance with Section 8.3 hereof, if SOF so elects, an offering of the Registrable Securities shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering. In such event, SOF shall select one or more nationally recognized firms of investment bankers, with the consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to act as the lead managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with such offering and shall select any additional investment bankers and managers to be used in connection with the offering. The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than two (2) Underwritten Offerings in the aggregate on behalf of SOF and all SOF Transferees.

(b) In connection with any Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 6.2(a), the Company shall: (i) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriters participating in the offering; and (ii) provide reasonable cooperation to the underwriters and SOF in marketing the Registrable Securities, including but not limited to, (A) if necessary, amending the Registration Statement to allow for the Underwritten Offering and (B) at least one (1) Company officer (the chief financial officer or other appropriate officer) participating in any “road show” or similar presentation in connection with such offering.

6.3 Piggyback Registration. If, at any time from and after the date hereof and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and until the termination of this Shareholders’ Agreement in accordance with Section 8.3 hereof, the Company shall determine to file with the SEC a

-13-

Execution Version

Registration Statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities (other than on Form F-4, or any successor form thereto, or Form S-8 if then available to the Company, or any successor form thereto, or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or bona fide, employee benefit plans), the Company shall send to SOF written notice of such determination (the “Piggyback Notice”) and, if within ten (10) days after the delivery of the Piggyback Notice, SOF shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities that SOF requests to be registered, except that if, in connection with any Underwritten Offering for the account of the Company the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of Shares which may be included in the Registration Statement because, in such underwriter(s)’ judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement (i) all Shares, if any, that the Company proposes to sell for its own account and (ii) the number of Shares, including the Registrable Securities, that the managing underwriter(s) advise(s), allocated pro rata among the holders of such Shares who are then entitled to exercise piggyback registration rights on the basis of the number of Shares requested to be included therein by each holder of such Shares. If an offering in connection with which SOF is entitled to registration under this Section 6.3 is an Underwritten Offering, then SOF, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, shall offer and sell such Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering using the same underwriter or underwriters and, subject to the provisions of this Shareholders’ Agreement, on the same terms and conditions as other Shares included in such Underwritten Offering.

6.4 Registration Procedures. In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall (and, for purposes of Section 6.4(a) and (l), SOF shall):

The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which SOF shall reasonably object in good faith, provided that the Company is notified of such objection in writing no later than two (2) Trading Days after SOF has been so furnished copies of such documents. SOF agrees to furnish to the Company a completed selling shareholder questionnaire not less than ten (10) Business Days after written request therefore has been made by the Company. The Company shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of SOF in a Registration Statement if SOF fails to furnish to the Company a fully completed selling shareholder questionnaire at least three (3) Trading Days prior to the date the

(b) (i) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the SEC such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities;

(c) If during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds one-hundred percent (100%) of the number of Shares of Common Stock then included in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file as soon as reasonably practicable an additional Registration Statement or post effective amendment to the existing Registration Statement covering the resale by SOF of not less than one-hundred percent (100%) of the number of such Registrable Securities.

(d) Use its reasonable best efforts to notify SOF (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible and confirm such notice in writing

			(vi) the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided that any and all of such information shall be kept confidential by SOF until such information otherwise becomes public, unless disclosure by SOF is required by law; provided, further, that notwithstanding SOF’s agreement to keep such information confidential, SOF makes no acknowledgement that any such information is material, non-public information.

(e) Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

Execution Version

(g) Promptly deliver to SOF, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as SOF may reasonably request in writing in connection with resales by SOF. Subject to the terms of this Shareholders’ Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by SOF in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 6.4(d).

(i) If requested by SOF, cooperate with SOF to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as SOF may request.

(j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by this Section 6.4, as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its shareholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies SOF in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 6.4(d) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then SOF shall suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.

(n) In the case of an Underwritten Offering, use its reasonable best efforts to make available for inspection by the representatives of SOF and the representative of any underwriters participating in any disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement, and any special counsel or accountants retained by SOF or underwriters, during normal business hours and subject to receipt of an executed confidentiality agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, such financial and other records, corporate documents and properties of the Company as are necessary in order to conduct a “due diligence investigation.”

(Global Market or Global Select Market), the NYSE Alternext U.S. (f/k/a the American Stock Exchange LLC), the New York Stock Exchange LLC (a “US Securities Market” and together with a Foreign Securities Market, a “Securities Market”) or a Foreign Securities Market, either in connection with a dual listing of the Common Stock or otherwise as contemplated by Section 6.8(a) of this Shareholders’ Agreement as promptly as possible after the date hereof, with it being understood

-18-

Execution Version

that, prior to the listing of the Common Stock on any Securities Market, the Company must qualify with the respective Securities Markets applicable listing requirements. APWC and PEWC agree that SOF will suffer irreparable damages if the Company fails to have the Shares listed on a Securities Market by February 1, 2011 and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision.

SOF may exercise its respective Put Right at any time while the Put Event remains uncured via written Notification to PEWC. The closing related to such Put Right shall occur within sixty (60) days of SOF’s exercise of such Put Right (the “Put Closing”). If the Put Event terminates prior to the Put Closing, the exercise of the Put Right shall be deemed rescinded and the transaction relating to the Put Right shall be deemed cancelled. Such event shall not terminate the existence of a Put Right upon the triggering of a future Put Event.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that, in the event that the Company has complied with each of its obligations under Article VI of this Shareholders’ Agreement, whether such obligation is absolute or on a reasonable best efforts basis, the Put Right granted to SOF shall constitute the exclusive right and remedy of SOF for a failure of the Company to maintain an effective Registration Statement in accordance with Section 6.1(a) for the Effectiveness Period or achieve a listing of the Shares of Common Stock on a US Securities Market by February 1, 2011.

-20-

Execution Version

provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Company from any of its obligations, as such obligations would be performed in a substantially similar manner in that market, or materially impair any of SOF’s rights under this Article VI, including, without limitation, its Put Right under Section 6.6 of this Shareholders’ Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

PREEMPTIVE RIGHT

7.1 Preemptive Right. From and after the date hereof and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and until the termination of this Shareholders’ Agreement in accordance with Section 8.3 hereof, if the Board of Directors decides to sell any equity securities or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities, then SOF shall have the right and option to buy from the Company a Pro Rata Amount (as defined below) of the same securities (the “Preemptive Shares”) and on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as such securities are being sold to the purchasing parties; provided, however, such right shall not apply to Permitted Issuances (the “Preemptive Right”). To the extent that SOF does not elect to purchase the Pro Rata Amount from APWC as described herein, SOF shall not have the right to participate in such transaction. The “Pro Rata Amount” shall be equal to the product of (a) the number of equity securities to be sold by the Company and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Shares of Common Stock then currently Owned in the aggregate by SOF, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of issued and outstanding Shares of Common Stock as of the date of the Preemptive Notice (the “Pro Rata Percentage”).

7.2 Notice. No later than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the consummation of any proposed Transfer described in Section 7.1, the Company shall provide the Preemptive Notice to SOF. The Preemptive Right shall be exercisable by written notice to the Company given within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the Preemptive Notice (the “Election Notice”). Failure by SOF to respond within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the Preemptive Notice shall be regarded as a rejection of the offer made pursuant to the Preemptive Notice and a decline by SOF of its rights under this Article VII with respect to such Transfer. If SOF elects to exercise such Preemptive Right, SOF shall be obligated and bound after sending the Election Notice to buy the Preemptive Shares, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, for a purchase price per Share described in the Preemptive Notice and upon the other terms and conditions of such transaction as reasonably agreed between SOF and the Company; provided that SOF shall not be required to (i) make any representations or warranties in connection with such Transfer other than representations and warranties as to (A) SOF’s power and authority to effect such Transfer and (B) such matters pertaining to compliance with securities laws as the Company may reasonably require, (ii) agree to any indemnification obligations in connection with such transaction other than as a result of a breach by SOF of such representations and warranties or (iii) agree to any post-closing covenants other than customary further assurances covenants.

7.3 Right to Sell. If an Election Notice is not received by the Company in accordance with Section 7.2, the Company shall have the right to consummate the Transfer without the participation of SOF, but only on terms and conditions which are no less favorable to the Company in any material respect to those stated in the Preemptive Notice and only if the

-21-

Execution Version

Transfer occurs on a date within ninety (90) days of SOF’s receipt of the Preemptive Notice. If such Transfer does not occur within such ninety (90) day period, the Company’s right to issue the Preemptive Shares under the foregoing sentence shall expire and the Company’s obligations under Section 7.1 shall be reinstated, and such securities shall not be Transferred without first being reoffered to SOF in compliance with Section 7.1.

(b) To the extent that SOF shall Transfer any Share(s) Owned by it and such Transfer is either (i) to an Affiliate or (ii) in connection with such Transfer, SOF’s Assignment Right is applicable, at the option of SOF, such transferee (an “SOF Transferee”) thereof may agree in writing for the benefit of the Parties to be bound by all of the terms of this Shareholders’ Agreement to the same extent as SOF, and be treated for all purposes herein as if it were a Party, by executing a joinder in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a “Shareholders Joinder”), which PEWC and APWC shall countersign and provide to such transferee.

9.9 Severability. If any provision of this Shareholders’ Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Shareholders’ Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Shareholders’ Agreement held invalid, illegal or unenforceable only in part or degree shall remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid, illegal or unenforceable. The Parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision with a valid, legal and enforceable provision, the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

This Shareholders’ Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature and in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original copy of this Shareholders’ Agreement and all of which, when taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.

9.16 Specific Performance. The Parties expressly agree that they will be irreparably damaged if this Shareholders’ Agreement is not specifically enforced. In any action or proceeding to specifically enforce the provisions of this Shareholders’ Agreement, any Person (including, without limitation, the Company) against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby waives the claim or defense therein that the plaintiff or claimant has an adequate remedy at law, and such Person shall not argue in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such remedy at law exists. Upon a breach or threatened breach of the terms, covenants and/or conditions of this Shareholders’ Agreement by any Party, each other Party shall, in addition to all other remedies available herein with respect to such breach, be entitled to a temporary or permanent injunction, and/or a decree for specific performance, without showing any actual damage or being required to post a bond or other security, in accordance with the provisions hereof. The provisions of this paragraph shall not prevent any Party from seeking a remedy at law in connection with any breach of this Shareholders’ Agreement.

The Parties hereby agree that this Shareholders’ Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Original Shareholders’ Agreement and that, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of the Original Shareholders’ Agreement, the terms of this Shareholders’ Agreement shall govern in all respects.
