SECTION 3.04.    Title to Sale Shares.  Seller (a) holds and has good and valid title to the Sale Shares, free and clear of all Liens, other than transfer restrictions imposed under applicable securities Laws, and (b) is the sole record and beneficial owner thereof.  Assuming Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to be the lawful owner of the Sale Shares, upon delivery to Purchaser at the Closing of instruments sufficient to transfer such Sale Shares, and upon Seller’s receipt of the Purchaser Share Consideration deliverable to Seller pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(i) and, with respect to the Class B Shares, the entry of the name of the Purchaser on the share register of the Company, good and valid title to such Sale Shares will pass to Purchaser, free and clear of all Liens, other than those arising under applicable securities Laws or as a result of the actions by Purchaser.  Other than this Agreement and the Monsoon Transaction Agreement, Seller is not party to any voting trust, stockholder agreement, proxy or other Contract with respect to the voting, redemption, sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition of the Sale Shares.

SECTION 3.05.    Brokers; Fees and Expenses.  No broker or finder has acted for Seller or its affiliates in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, that is entitled to any brokerage fee, finder’s fee or commission in respect thereof.

SECTION 5.04.    Public Announcements.  The initial press release by each of the parties to be issued on the date hereof or promptly after the execution of this Agreement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D.  No public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by any party without the prior written consent of Purchaser and Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except as such release or announcement may be required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable securities exchange or listing authority, in which case the party required to make such release or announcement shall allow Purchaser and Seller, as applicable, reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance and shall consider such comments in good faith.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.04 shall not apply to any press release or other public statement made by the parties which is consistent with the initial press release and the terms of the Transaction Agreements and does not contain any information relating to the parties or the Transaction Agreements that has not been previously announced or made public.

SECTION 5.05.    Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.  (a)  For a period of six (6) years commencing on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Company and its subsidiaries, and their respective successors and assigns, to comply with and honor all rights to advancement of expenses, exculpation or indemnification for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing, now existing in favor of any current or former officers or directors (unless required by Law or with the consent of each affected individual) (each an “Indemnified Person”), to the extent provided for in the Company and its subsidiaries’ respective Organizational Documents.

(b)         For a period of at least six (6) years commencing on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Company to purchase and maintain an insurance and indemnification policy (the “D&O Insurance”) for the benefit of each such person covered by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policies in effect as of the date of this Agreement (the “Existing D&O Policy”).  Such D&O Insurance shall (i) insure such persons for acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing and (ii) contain terms and conditions no less favorable than those of the Existing D&O Policy; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, if the premium for such coverage exceeds 150% of the premium payable by the Company under the Existing D&O Policy for the year ended December 31, 2018, then the Company shall only be required to offer the coverage available for such 150% premium amount, and no greater coverage.  The Company may satisfy its obligations under this Section 5.05(b) by purchasing a “tail” policy.  Such “tail” policy shall (i) have a claims period of at least six (6) years commencing on the Closing Date, (ii) insure each person covered by the Existing D&O Policy for acts and omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing, and (iii) subject to the immediately preceding sentence, contain terms and conditions that are no less favorable than those of the Existing D&O Policy.

(c)         After the Closing, if the Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to procure that proper

18


provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company, as the case may be, shall assume the applicable obligations set forth in this Section 5.05.

(d)        The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Section 5.05 shall survive consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person.

SECTION 5.06.    Release.  Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to procure that the Company, effective as of the Closing, does for itself and its respective affiliates, partners, heirs, beneficiaries, successors and assigns, if any (each such person, a “Releasing Party”), release and absolutely forever discharge Resigning Directors (each, a “Released Party”) from and against all Released Matters, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.  “Released Matters” means any and all claims, demands, damages, debts, liabilities, obligations, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses), losses, actions and causes of action of any nature whatsoever, whether now known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that a Releasing Party now has, or at any time previously had, or shall or may have in the future, acting as an officer, director or member of any applicable governing body of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, arising by virtue of or in any matter related to any actions or inactions with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective affairs on or before the Closing Date; provided that Released Matters shall not include any right of the Releasing Party contained in this Agreement.  It is the intention of Purchaser in using its reasonable best efforts to procure this release from the Company, and in giving and receiving the consideration called for herein, that the release contained in this Section 5.06 shall be effective as a full and final accord and satisfaction and general release of and from all Released Matters and the final resolution by the Releasing Parties and the Released Parties of all Released Matters.  Notwithstanding anything herein or otherwise to the contrary, the release contained in this Section 5.06 will not be effective so as to benefit a particular Released Party in connection with any matter or event that would otherwise constitute a Released Matter, but involved fraud on the part of such Released Party.  Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to procure that each Releasing Party represents to Seller and Purchaser (as appropriate) that it has not voluntarily or involuntarily assigned or transferred or purported to assign or transfer to any Person any Released Matters and that no Person other than such Releasing Party has any interest in any Released Matter by Law or contract by virtue of any action or inaction by such Releasing Party.

SECTION 5.07.    No Integration.  (a)  None of Purchaser, its subsidiaries, their affiliates nor any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Purchase Shares under the Securities Act or cause the offering of any of the Purchase Shares to be integrated with other offerings for purposes of any such applicable shareholder approval provisions.

(b)         None of Seller, its subsidiaries, their affiliates nor any Person acting on their behalf will take, and Seller and Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Company, its subsidiaries and their affiliates not to take, any action or steps that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Sale Shares under the Securities Act or cause the offering of any of the Sale Shares to be integrated with other offerings for purposes of any such applicable shareholder approval provisions.

19


SECTION 5.08.    No Amendments to Certain Organizational Documents.  (a)  Seller and Purchaser shall each use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Company not to amend its Constitution in any manner, enter into or amend any agreement, or take any similar actions that would adversely affect the Class B Member’s (as defined in the Terms of Issue) rights under the Terms of Issue or the Company’s ability to comply with its obligations under the Terms of Issue prior to Closing.

(b)         Purchaser shall not, prior to the Closing, amend its Articles of Association in any manner, enter into or amend any agreement, or take any similar actions that in each case would (i) adversely affect its ability to comply with or perform all of the covenants, agreements and obligations required to be complied with or performed by it under the Transaction Agreements or (ii) create any Lien over the Purchase Shares.  Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives any Lien over the Purchase Shares created or existing by virtue of its Articles of Association (including Section 26 thereof) in respect of the obligations of Purchaser or Seller arising out of or relating to the Transaction Agreements.

(c)         Each of Seller and Purchaser shall not, prior to Closing, amend its certificate or articles of incorporation and bylaws or comparable organizational documents in any manner, enter into or amend any agreement, or take any similar actions that would adversely affect its ability to comply with or perform all of the covenants, agreements and obligations required to be complied with or performed by it under the Transaction Agreements.

(d)         For the avoidance of doubt, but without limiting the provisions of the foregoing paragraph (a), (b) or (c), this Section 5.08, shall not otherwise restrict any of Purchaser, Seller or the Company in any manner from conducting its day-to-day operations independently in their ordinary course of business and without interference from any other party.

SECTION 5.09.    Seller Lock-Up.  (a)  Except as provided in Section 5.09(b), Seller will not, and will cause its affiliates not to, during the Seller Lock-Up Period (as defined below), sell, offer or contract to sell, pledge, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the Purchase Shares.  “Seller Lock-Up Period” means the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (i) 180 days after the Closing Date, (ii) the date on which Purchaser consummates a merger, consolidation, amalgamation, scheme of arrangement, share exchange, recapitalization, reorganization, restructuring, demerger, liquidation, sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of assets substantially as an entirety, or any other similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party that results in all of Purchaser’s shareholders’ receiving cash, securities or other property in exchange for, or as a distribution representing all or substantially all the value of, their equity holdings in Purchaser and (iii) the date of commencement of a tender or exchange offer as a result of which unaffiliated third parties will beneficially own a majority of the voting securities of Purchaser or otherwise have the power to elect the majority of the members of Purchaser’s board of directors.

(b)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may transfer or otherwise dispose of Purchase Shares to its affiliates (any such affiliate, a “Permitted Seller Transferee”).  In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth herein shall not apply to the establishment of a trading plan that complies with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act;

20


provided, however, that the restrictions shall apply to sales pursuant to the trading plan during the Seller Lock-Up Period.

(c)          For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions in this Agreement shall apply only to the Purchase Shares issued to Seller as of the Closing Date and no other security (including other Purchaser Common Shares or Purchaser ADSs) of Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries, and Seller and any Permitted Seller Transferee, as applicable, shall retain all of their rights as shareholders of Purchaser with respect to the Purchase Shares during the Seller Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Purchase Shares.

SECTION 5.10.    Purchaser Lock-Up.  (a)  Except as provided in Section 5.10(b), Purchaser will not, and will cause its affiliates not to, during the Purchaser Lock-Up Period (as defined below), sell, offer or contract to sell, pledge, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the Sale Shares.  “Purchaser Lock-Up Period” means the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (i) 180 days after the Closing Date, (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a merger, consolidation, amalgamation, scheme of arrangement, share exchange, recapitalization, reorganization, restructuring, demerger, liquidation, sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of assets substantially as an entirety, or any other similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party that results in all of the Company’s shareholders’ receiving cash, securities or other property in exchange for, or as a distribution representing all or substantially all the value of, their equity holdings in the Company and (iii) the date of commencement of a tender or exchange offer as a result of which unaffiliated third parties will beneficially own a majority of the voting securities of the Company or otherwise have the power to elect the majority of the members of the Board.

(b)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may transfer or otherwise dispose of Sale Shares to its affiliates (any such affiliate, a “Permitted Purchaser Transferee”).  In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth herein shall not apply to the establishment of a trading plan that complies with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that the restrictions shall apply to sales pursuant to the trading plan during the Purchaser Lock-Up Period.

(c)          For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions in this Agreement shall apply only to the Sale Shares transferred to Purchaser as of the Closing Date and no other security (including other Ordinary Shares or Class B Shares) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and Purchaser and any Permitted Purchaser Transferee, as applicable, shall retain all of their rights as shareholders of the Company with respect to the Sale Shares during the Purchaser Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Sale Shares.

SECTION 5.11.    Interim Covenant.  During the period from the date hereof until the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company and its subsidiaries, except as required by applicable Law or with the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to conduct its and its subsidiaries’ businesses in the ordinary course consistent with past practice, and, to the extent consistent therewith, to preserve substantially intact its and its subsidiaries’ business organization, to keep available the services of its and its subsidiaries’ current officers and employees, to preserve its and its subsidiaries’ present relationship with

21


customers, suppliers, distributors, licensors, licensees, and other persons having business relationship with it.

SECTION 5.12.    Post-Closing Indian Withholding Tax-related Filings.  Seller shall provide Purchaser, the Company, their respective affiliates, and Indian Investee with such cooperation and assistance, including providing information and documents, as may be requested by Purchaser in connection with the Acquisition, for any Indian Investee to comply with Section 285A of the IT Act and the Rule 114DB of the (Indian) Income Tax Rules, 1962.

SECTION 5.13.    Seller Indian Tax Matters.  (a) The Seller shall (i) ensure that the representations and warranties of the Seller in Section 3.11 continue to be accurate for the entire Indian Tax Year in which the Closing occurs; and (ii) to the extent that the tax residence certificate furnished by such Seller pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(xiv) does not cover any period after the Closing Date and the end of the Indian Tax Year in which the Closing occurs (the “TRC Residual Period”), such Seller shall obtain a tax residence certificate from the relevant Governmental Entity of Singapore for the TRC Residual Period and shall furnish such tax residence certificate to Purchaser no later than 45 days after the end of the Indian Tax Year in which the Closing occurs.

(b)         Following the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser an estimate of the quantum of capital gains (along with the calculation thereof) earned by Seller on the sale to Purchaser of Sale Shares and Tax (in rupees) payable thereon, without considering the benefits of India-Singapore Double Tax Treaty, determined in accordance with Rules 11UB and 11UC of the (Indian) Income-tax Rules, 1962, together with documents and valuation reports relevant to verify such quantum of capital gains.  Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate, and shall cause the Company and any Indian Investee to cooperate in the calculation of such estimate, including by promptly delivering such information (including any documents or valuation reports generated by the Company or such Indian Investee) as may be necessary to generate any such documents or valuation reports.

(ii)                any failure by Seller to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement of Seller in accordance with this Agreement;

(i)                  any inaccuracy or breach of (A) any Purchaser Fundamental Representation or (B) any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in this Agreement, other than any Purchaser Fundamental Representation or Section 4.11 or (C) Section 4.11, but only if and to the extent that a Company Event Notice has been sent by Purchaser to Seller prior to Closing and Closing has occurred and only with respect to such matters as are specified in such Company Event Notice (it being agreed that, in the


29




cases of clauses (A), (B) and (C), for purposes of determining the existence of any such inaccuracy or breach or the amount of any Loss with respect thereto, all such representations and warranties that are qualified as to “materiality”, “Company Material Adverse Effect” or “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect” shall be deemed to be not so qualified); and

SECTION 8.04.    Indemnification Procedures.  (a)  Procedures for Third-Party Claims.  (i) If a claim by a third party is made against a Purchaser Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) arising out of a matter for which the Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Article VIII (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnitee shall promptly, but in any event no later than 30 days after it has knowledge of a written assertion of liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim, notify the indemnifying party in writing of such Third-Party Claim (the “Third-Party Claim Notice”).  The failure of the Indemnitee to promptly notify the indemnifying party hereunder shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually or reasonably likely to be prejudiced by such failure (and except that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnitee failed to give such notice).  The Indemnitee shall supply the indemnifying party and at such indemnifying party’s election, its representatives, agents or assigns, with such information and documents as it has in its possession regarding such Third-Party Claim, and will allow reasonable access to relevant personnel, auditors and other representatives of the Indemnitee (subject to customary exceptions for legal privilege) together with all pertinent information in its possession regarding the amount of the Loss that it asserts it has sustained or incurred (or reasonably expects to sustain or incur), and will permit the indemnifying party (as well as such indemnifying party’s representatives, agents or assigns) to inspect such other records and books in the possession of the Indemnitee and relating to the Third-Party Claim and asserted Loss as the indemnifying party shall reasonably request, and the Indemnitee shall cooperate with the indemnifying party with respect to matters relating to any Third-Party Claims.

(ii)                If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnitee, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, subject to the limitations contained in this Section 8.04(a), to assume and control the defense thereof of such Third-Party Claim if it so chooses with counsel selected by the indemnifying party by delivering notice of assumption and control of such defense to the Indemnitee within 15 business days of receipt of the Third-Party Claim Notice.  Should the indemnifying party so elect to assume and control the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof, unless (A) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (B) the

30


Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that the assumption and control of such defense by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to an actual or potential conflict of interest or (C) the Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that one or more defenses are available to the Indemnitee that are not available to the indemnifying party (provided that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of counsel for all Indemnitees, other than one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction).  If the indemnifying party assumes such defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ at its own expense counsel not reasonably objected to by the indemnifying party, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying party, it being understood that the indemnifying party shall control such defense and shall be empowered to make any settlement with respect to such Third-Party Claim, subject to the remaining terms of this Section 8.04(a).  The indemnifying party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnitee for any period during which the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense thereof.  If the indemnifying party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third-Party Claim, all the parties shall cooperate and shall cause their affiliates to cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.  Whether or not the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except if (x) the Indemnitee is reasonably expected to be liable for Losses in an amount materially in excess of amounts reasonably expected to be received from the indemnifying party or (y) such settlement or compromise is in respect of a proceeding that seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnitee.  If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third-Party Claim that the indemnifying party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third-Party Claim and which releases the Indemnitee completely in connection with such Third-Party Claim, which does not contain any admission of wrongdoing or misconduct by the Indemnitee and which does not involve any non-monetary relief (other than customary confidentiality terms).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume and control the defense of any Third-Party Claim (and shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnitee in defending such Third-Party Claim) if (x) the Third-Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the Indemnitee that the Indemnitee reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages or (y) in the event the Third-Party Claim were to be unfavorably decided, the Indemnitee would be reasonably likely to be liable for Losses in an amount materially in excess of amounts reasonably expected to be received from the indemnifying party.  If such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Third-Party Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of the portion relating to money damages.

(iii)              Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.04 or elsewhere in this Agreement, in the event of the assertion or commencement by any

31


Taxing Authority of any claim or proceeding with respect to which any Seller may become obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse any Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(iii) and Section 8.02(a)(i)(C), the defense of such claim shall be conducted in accordance with Schedule 10.

(b)         Procedures for Direct Claims.  In the event any Indemnitee should have a claim against the indemnifying party under this Agreement that does not involve a Third-Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnitee (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnitee shall promptly, but in any event no later than 30 days after it has knowledge of the underlying facts of such Direct Claim, notify the indemnifying party in writing of such Direct Claim.  The failure of the Indemnitee to promptly notify the indemnifying party hereunder shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually or reasonably likely to be prejudiced by such failure (and except that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnitee failed to give such notice).  Promptly after written notice of a claim has been provided as set forth above (and in no event later than five days after the Indemnitee provides notice of the claim as set forth above), the Indemnitee shall supply the indemnifying party with such information and documents as it has in its possession regarding such Direct Claim, together with all pertinent information in its possession regarding the amount of the Losses that it asserts it has sustained or incurred (or reasonably expects to sustain or incur), and will permit the indemnifying party to inspect such other records and books in the possession of the Indemnitee, and will allow reasonable access at the indemnifying party’s expense, to relevant personnel, auditors and other representatives (subject to customary exceptions for legal privilege), in each case relating to the Direct Claim and asserted Losses as the indemnifying party shall reasonably request.

SECTION 8.05.    Termination of Indemnification.  Except with respect to fraud, willful or intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or willful concealment by or on behalf of Seller or Purchaser:

(a)         The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(i)(B) or Section 8.03(a)(i)(B) shall terminate on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that the obligations to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee shall not terminate with respect to any and all Third-Party Claims and Direct Claims (together, “Claims”) that such Indemnitee has, before the expiration of such period, previously asserted against the indemnifying party by delivering a notice to the indemnifying party in accordance with this Agreement, which obligations shall survive until all such Claims are finally resolved.

(b)         The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee pursuant to Sections 8.02(a)(i)(A), 8.02(a)(i)(C), 8.02(a)(ii), 8.03(a)(i)(A), 8.03(a)(i)(C) and 8.03(a)(ii) shall not terminate.

(c)         The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless any Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to Sections 8.02(a)(iii) and 8.02(a)(iv) shall terminate 60 days after the expiration of the applicable Tax-related statute of limitations (as it may be extended) applicable to the subject matter of the Tax indemnity in question; provided, however, that the obligations to

32


indemnify and hold harmless any Purchaser Indemnitee shall not terminate with respect to any and all Claims that such Purchaser Indemnitee has, before the expiration of such period, previously asserted against the indemnifying party by delivering a notice to the indemnifying party in accordance with this Agreement, which obligations shall survive until all such Claims are finally resolved.

SECTION 8.06.    Exclusive Remedy Against the Indemnifying Party.  Except with respect to fraud, willful or intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or willful concealment by or on behalf of Seller or Purchaser, an Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Article VIII constitutes such Indemnitee’s sole and exclusive monetary remedy for Losses from the indemnifying party with respect to any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or any failure to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement in this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit any party’s right to seek specific performance or injunctive relief in accordance with Section 10.10.

SECTION 8.07.    Limitation of Indemnification.  (a)  Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be liable for any Losses indemnifiable pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(i)(B) or Section 8.03(a)(i)(B), respectively, unless the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds on a cumulative basis $5,000,000 (the “Deductible”), in which case the Indemnitees shall only be entitled to indemnification for all such Losses in excess of the Deductible (it being understood that any such individual claims for amounts less than $200,000 shall be ignored in determining whether the Deductible has been exceeded and thereafter).

(b)        Seller’s and Purchaser’s aggregate liability under Section 8.02(a)(i)(A) and Section 8.03(a)(i)(A), respectively, shall in no event exceed $1,500,000,000.

(c)          (i) Seller shall not be liable for any Losses indemnifiable pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(i)(B) for amounts in the aggregate in excess of $150,000,000 and (ii) Purchaser shall not be liable for any Losses indemnifiable pursuant to Section 8.03(a)(i)(B) for amounts in the aggregate in excess of $150,000,000.

(d)        The limitations set forth in this Section 8.07 shall not be applicable to any Losses that arise out of, or relate to or are in connection with (i) fraud, willful or intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or willful concealment by or on behalf of Seller or Purchaser; and (ii) Sections 8.02(a)(i)(C), 8.02(a)(iii), 8.02(a)(iv) and 8.03(a)(i)(C).

SECTION 8.08.    Manner of Payment.  Within 10 business days after the amount of any Losses for which an Indemnitee is indemnified pursuant to this Article VIII is finally determined, the indemnifying party shall pay to such Indemnitee such amount in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by such Indemnitee at least two business days prior to the payment date.

SECTION 8.09.    Consideration Adjustment.  For all tax purposes, Purchaser and Seller agree to treat any indemnity payment under this Agreement as an adjustment to the purchase price unless a final determination provides otherwise.

33


SECTION 8.10.    Knowledge.  (a)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VIII, Seller shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless any Purchaser Indemnitee from and against any or all Losses asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by such Purchaser Indemnitee that arise out of, are related to or in connection with any inaccuracy or breach of any Company Representation or Warranty, if Purchaser, as of the date of this Agreement, knew that any such Company Representation or Warranty was not true and correct.

(b)        For purposes of determining pursuant to any provision of this Agreement whether there has been any inaccuracy or breach of any Company Representation or Warranty, “Knowledge of Seller” shall mean the actual knowledge prior to the date hereof of the Resigning Directors (other than Paul Laurence Halpin).

(c)        The rights of each Purchaser Indemnitee under Section 8.02, and the rights of each Seller Indemnitee under Section 8.03, in each case after Closing, shall not be affected by any knowledge after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Closing of any breach of representation or warranty, whether such knowledge came from Seller, Purchaser or any other Person, or any waiver of Section 6.02(a) or Section 6.03(a).

(c)
Priority on Piggyback Registrations.  If, in connection with a Piggyback Registration, the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that the inclusion of all the securities sought to be included in the Piggyback Registration by the Company and all holders of Registrable Securities who have sought to have securities registered pursuant to any rights, whether pursuant to “piggyback” or other incidental or participation registration rights or otherwise, require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten so that the distribution of the securities sought to be sold pursuant to the Piggyback Registration is not adversely affected, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude securities from the Piggyback Registration and the underwriting, and the number of securities that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated as follows:


(i)
if the Piggyback Registration is in connection with the registration of an offering for the Company’s own account, then (A) first, the securities sought to be included by the Company, and (B) second, the securities sought to be included by all existing and future holders of Registrable Securities that have requested to participate in such underwritten offering (pro rata in proportion to the number of securities sought to be included in such offering by such holders); and


(ii)
if the Piggyback Registration relates to an offering other than for the Company’s own account, then (A) first, the securities sought to be included by sellers who have exercised demand registration rights, pro rata in proportion to the number of securities sought to be registered by all such demanding sellers, (B) second, the securities sought to be included by all existing and future holders of Registrable Securities that have requested to participate in such underwritten offering, pro rata in proportion to the number of securities sought to be registered by all such holders, and (C) third, the securities sought to be included by the Company.

No Limit.  Except as otherwise provided herein, there shall be no limit on the number of times the Investor may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2.1.

5

if the aggregate anticipated price to the public of any Registrable Securities which the Investor proposes to sell pursuant to such registration, together with the aggregate anticipated price to the public of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, is less than US$50,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in other currencies), unless such Registration covers all remaining Registrable Securities;


(2)
if the Company shall furnish to the Investor a certificate certifying the same signed by the Chief Executive Officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Registration Statement no more than once during any twelve (12) month period for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Investor under this Section 2.2(a); provided, however, that such period shall terminate if the Company registers any of its other Shares during such period; or


(3)
if the Company has, within the six (6) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected a registration under the Securities Act other than a registration from which the Registrable Securities of the Investor have been excluded (with respect to all or any portion of the Registrable Securities the Investor requested be included in such registration) pursuant to Section 2.1(b).

6




(c)
No Limit.  Except as otherwise provided herein, there shall be no limit on the number of times the Investor may request Registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2.2.


(d)
Selection of Underwriters.  In connection with a Demand Registration, the Investor may elect to have Registrable Securities sold in an underwritten offering.  Whenever a Demand Registration involves an underwritten offering, the Investor may select the investment banker or investment bankers and managers that will serve as lead and co-managing underwriters with respect to the offering of such Registrable Securities, subject to the Company’s prior written consent (such consent not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).


(e)
Priority on Demand RegistrationsIf, in connection with a Demand Registration, the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that the inclusion of all the securities sought to be included in the Demand Registration by the Investor, Baidu, the Company and other proposed sellers who have sought to have securities registered pursuant to any rights, whether pursuant to “piggyback” or other incidental or participation registration rights or otherwise, require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten so that the distribution of the securities sought to be sold pursuant to the Demand Registration is not adversely affected, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude securities from the Demand Registration and the underwriting, and the number of securities that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities sought to be included by the Investor, (ii) second, the securities sought to be included by Baidu, and (iii) third, the securities to be included by the Company and any other proposed sellers in such priority as the Company determines.

2.3            Expenses. All expenses, other than the underwriting discounts and selling commissions and any issuance fees of the ADSs payable to the depositary in accordance with the Depositary Agreement (which shall be borne by each selling shareholder on a pro rata portion based on the number of Registrable Securities registered by each selling shareholder)  applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, incurred in connection with Registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this Agreement, including but without limitation all Registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and reasonable fees and disbursement of the Investor’s counsel, shall be borne by the Company.  The Company shall not, however, be required to pay for any expenses of any Registration proceeding begun pursuant to this Agreement if the Registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Investor.

2.4            Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:


(a)
Registration Statement.  Prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and keep such Registration Statement effective for the period specified in this Section 2 and if not so specified herein, for the lesser of (i) 180 days and (ii) such shorter period which will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement; provided, however, that (i) such 180-day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Investor refrains from selling any securities included in such registration at the request of the Company or the underwriter(s) or is prevented from selling any securities included in such registration by reason of any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other Governmental Authority, and (ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on a Shelf Registration Statement which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such 180 day period shall be extended, to the extent necessary, to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold.

7




(b)
Amendments and Supplements.  Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement, including, but not limited to (A) keep such Registration Statement effective, and (B) not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.


(c)
Avoidance of Suspension.  Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the 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.


(d)
Prospectuses.  Furnish to the Investor such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by them that are included in such registration, as well as, if requested by the lead or co-managing underwriters, if any, or any selling shareholder, as promptly as reasonably practicable, include in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the lead or co-managing underwriters, if any, and such selling shareholder may reasonably request in order to permit the intended method of distribution of such securities and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received such request.


(e)
Blue Sky.  Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Investor, provided, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act.

8




(f)
Underwriting.  In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering and take such other actions as are prudent and reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, including causing its officers to participate in “road shows” and other information meetings organized by an underwriter in connection therewith.  If the Investor participates in such underwriting, the Investor shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.


(g)
Notification.  Notify the Investor if the Investor has Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of (i) the issuance of any stop order by the Commission in respect of such Registration Statement, or (ii) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of the Investor, prepare and furnish to the Investor a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Ordinary Shares, such prospectus shall not include 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 not misleading or incomplete in light of the circumstances then existing.


(h)
Opinion and Comfort Letters.  Furnish, at the request of the Investor, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriter(s) for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the Registration Statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) opinion letters and negative assurance letters, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to the Investor, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Investor and (ii) a “comfort” letter, dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to the Investor, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Investor.

9




(i)
Transfer Agent and CUSIP. Provide and maintain a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement and held by the Investor and, where applicable, a CUSIP number for all those Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of the Registration.


(j)
Delivery of Securities.  Cooperate with the selling shareholders and the lead managing underwriters to facilitate the timely delivery of the securities sold under any Registration Statement (which shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required under applicable Law), in such denominations and registered in such names as the lead managing underwriters or such selling shareholders may request.


(k)
Further Actions.  (A) Take all reasonable action necessary to list the Registrable Securities on the primary exchange upon which the Company’s securities are traded, (B) use reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other Governmental Authorities as may be necessary to enable the selling shareholder(s) thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities and (C) take all other customary actions reasonably requested by the selling shareholders or the lead managing underwriters pursuant to this Article II to effect the intent of this Agreement.

2.5           Furnish Information.  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 that the Investor furnishes to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, the intended method of disposition of such securities and other information as shall be required to timely effect the Registration of its Registrable Securities.

2.6           Indemnification.  In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Section 2:


(a)
Indemnification by the Company.  To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, its partners, officers, directors, legal counsel, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for the Investor and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (joint or several; or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) to which they may become subject under laws which are applicable to the Company and relate to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”):


(i)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto;

10




(ii)
the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or


(iii)
any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Applicable Securities Law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Applicable Securities Law;

and the Company shall reimburse the Investor, and its respective partners, officers, directors, legal counsel, underwriter and controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by the Investor, partner, officer, director, legal counsel, underwriter or controlling Person of such Investor.


(b)
Indemnification by the Investor.  To the extent permitted by law, the Investor (severally but not jointly with its Permitted Transferees, if applicable) shall, if Registrable Securities held by the Investor (and/or its Permitted Transferees, if applicable) are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualifications or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and any underwriter, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, legal counsel, controlling Person underwriter may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other United States federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or Violations, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such statement, omission or Violation occurs in sole reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by the Investor (and/or its Permitted Transferees, if applicable) expressly for use in connection with such registration:


(i)
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto; or

11



(ii)
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,

and the Investor (severally but not jointly with its Permitted Transferees, if applicable) shall reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling Person or underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Investor (and/or its Permitted Transferees, if applicable), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, that except for liability for willful fraud or misrepresentation, in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.6(b) exceed the net proceeds received by the Investor in such registration.


(c)
Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, as incurred, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.


(d)
Contribution.


(i)
In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.6 is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms in respect of any losses, claims, damages and liabilities suffered by an indemnified party, each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages and liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the liable Investor and/or its Permitted Transferees, if applicable (including, in each case, that of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents), on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages and liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the liable Investor and/or its Permitted Transferees, if applicable (including, in each case, their respective officers, directors, employees and agents), on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or by or on behalf of the Investor and/or its Permitted Transferees, if applicable, on the other, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.

12



(ii)
The Parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in sub-paragraph (i) above. Notwithstanding this Section 2.6(d), in the case of distributions to the public, the Investor and/or its Permitted Transferees, if applicable, shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which (A) the total price at which the Registrable Securities sold by them and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds (B) the amount of any damages which the Investor and/or its Permitted Transferees, if applicable, have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.


(iii)
For purposes of this Section, each Person, if any, who controls the Investor and/or its Permitted Transferees, if applicable (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) shall have the same rights to contribution as the Investor and/or its Permitted Transferees, if applicable; and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.


(e)
Survival; Consents to Judgments and Settlements.  The obligations of the Company and the Investor under this Section 2.6 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement, regardless of the expiration of any statutes of limitation or extensions of such statutes.  No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

13


2.7            Rule 144 Reporting.  With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or pursuant to a registration on a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

2.8            Maintenance of Form F-6.  The Company covenants that it will maintain the effectiveness of its Registration Statement on Form F-6 which registers a number of ADSs that is sufficient to allow the Investor to exercise its rights hereunder and under such ADS program, and sell its Registrable Securities in the United States in the manner contemplated by this Agreement.

2.9            Termination. The Company shall have no obligations to register any Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Investor if all such Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Investor may then be freely sold without registration and without restriction (including, volume limitations) pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

3.
Term and Termination.

3.1            This Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof, and shall terminate (i) on the first date on which all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to any registration hereunder or when all Equity Securities cease to be Registrable Securities, or (ii) upon the termination of the Cooperation Agreement pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(ii)(A) therein.

Each party hereto who transfers Equity Securities to a Permitted Transferee shall cause such Permitted Transferee to execute and deliver to the Company a written instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company agreeing to be bound by and entitled to the benefits of, the terms of this Agreement.  From and after the date of any assignment of the rights of the Investor with respect to any Registrable Securities to a Permitted Transferee (or by a Permitted Transferee to another Permitted Transferee), all references to “the Investor” in this Agreement shall be deemed to include such Permitted Transferees, unless the context otherwise requires.

16


4.5            Headings and Titles. Headings and titles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

4.6            Expenses. If any action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such Party may be entitled.

4.7            Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the Parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof, and supersedes all other agreements between or among any of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of both Parties.

4.8            Severability. If a provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable under applicable Laws, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the remainder of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

4.9            Further Assurances. The Parties agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

4.10        Rights Cumulative. Each and all of the various rights, powers and remedies of a Party hereto will be considered to be cumulative with and in addition to any other rights, powers and remedies which such Party may have at law or in equity in the event of the breach of any of the terms of this Agreement.  The exercise or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy will neither constitute the exclusive election thereof nor the waiver of any other right, power or remedy available to such Party.

17


4.11            No Waiver. Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions hereof will not be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant, or condition, nor will any waiver or relinquishment of, or failure to insist upon strict compliance with, any right, power or remedy power hereunder at any one or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such right, power or remedy at any other time or times.

4.12            No Presumption. The Parties acknowledge that any applicable Law that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the Party that drafted it has no application and is expressly waived.  If any claim is made by a Party relating to any conflict, omission or ambiguity in the provisions of this Agreement, no presumption or burden of proof or persuasion will be implied because this Agreement was prepared by or at the request of any Party or its counsel.

4.13            Specific Enforcement.  The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.  It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions or specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the parties are entitled at Law or in equity.  Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.  Each party hereby waives any requirements for securing or posting of any bond with such equitable remedy.

For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting the generality of Section 4.2(a)(ii), this Agreement

10


may be terminated by the Company immediately in its entirety if the Shareholder or any of its Affiliates fails to comply in any material respect with this Section 3.2.

Section 3.3                Transfer Restrictions.  If the Shareholder or any of its Affiliates proposes to transfer, directly or indirectly, any Ordinary Shares to any Competitor (except (i) in capital markets transactions of Equity Securities of the Company where any Competitor participates without the Shareholder’s or any of its Affiliates’ knowledge or (ii) in tender or exchange offers, acquisitions or other business combination transactions where all the Company’s shareholders have the right to participate on the same terms and conditions as the Shareholder), the Shareholder shall promptly give the Company a written notice of the Shareholder’s intention to make the transfer (the “Transfer Notice”), which shall include (A) a description of the Ordinary Shares subject to the transfer, (B) the identity of the Competitor and (C) the consideration (the “ROFR Consideration”) and other material terms and conditions upon which the proposed transfer is to be made.  The Company may exercise its right of first refusal under this Section 3.3 (the “Right of First Refusal”) by delivering to the Shareholder an irrevocable written notice (the “Acceptance Notice”) within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of the Transfer Notice to acquire all, but not less than all, of the Ordinary Shares subject to the transfer at the same price (payable entirely in cash as described below) and subject to the same terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice; provided that if the aggregate value of such ROFR Consideration exceeds an amount separately acknowledged by the Shareholder and the Company (the “Cap Price”), then the Company may exercise its Right of First Refusal at the Cap Price and otherwise subject to the same terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice.  The Company shall pay the ROFR Consideration or the Cap Price, as applicable, entirely in cash.  If all or any portion of the ROFR Consideration is payable other than in cash, the cash price payable by the Company shall be determined based on the cash-equivalent value of any non-cash consideration as determined reasonably and in good faith by the board of directors of the Shareholder and agreed by the Company.  If the Company exercises its Right of First Refusal, such transaction shall be consummated as soon as reasonably practicable after the delivery of the Acceptance Notice.  If and to the extent that the Company fails to exercise its Right of First Refusal timely or, at all, the Shareholder or its Affiliate may then proceed with the transfer of Ordinary Shares to the Competitor on terms and conditions no more favorable to the Competitor than those set forth in the Transfer Notice.

Section 3.4                Anti-Dilution Right.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if at any time after the date on which the Shareholder notifies the Company in writing that the Shareholder and its Affiliates beneficially own a number of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) of the Company equal to or greater than 10.7% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital on an actual basis (the “Anti-Dilution Right Vesting Date”), the Company proposes to sell, offer or issue any new Equity Securities in a Diluting Transaction (as defined below), the Shareholder and its Affiliates holding Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) shall have a right (the “Anti-Dilution Right”) to purchase, in the aggregate, for the Anti-Dilution Consideration (as defined below), a number of Equity Securities (“Anti-Dilution Securities”) such that the Shareholder’s and its Affiliates’ aggregate percentage ownership in the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital on an actual basis giving pro forma effect to any such sale, offer or issuance shall be equal to 10.0%.  For the purposes hereof, “Diluting Transaction” means any one or a series of transactions within the same scheme involving the sale, offer or issuance of Equity Securities that would, giving effect on a pro forma basis to such transactions, reduce the aggregate percentage ownership of Ordinary Shares (including

Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) beneficially owned by the Shareholder and its Affiliates to an amount less than 10.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital on an actual basis.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Anti-Dilution Right in this Section 3.4 shall not apply to  any sale, offer or issuance of Equity Securities (i) to employees, officers or consultants pursuant to any employee benefit plan, employee stock option plan or similar share-based plan of the Company, (ii) in connection with any exercise of conversion rights by any Person holding any convertible securities of the Company, (iii) in connection with any share split, share dividend or any subdivision of Ordinary Shares or other similar event in which all the Shareholders are entitled to participate on a pro rata basis, or (iv) any securities issued pursuant to any transaction or any series of transactions that constitute a Company Sale.  The Shareholder’s and its Affiliates’ percentage ownership, for purposes of any relevant event, shall be the percentage equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares and Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs held by the Shareholder and its Affiliates immediately prior to the date of such event and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the date of such event.  For the purposes hereof, “Anti-Dilution Consideration” means an amount equal to (i) the Current Market Price as of the trading day preceding the date of such Diluting Transaction multiplied by (ii) the number of Anti-Dilution Securities (determined on an ADS-equivalent basis if at the time ADSs are the primary listed and traded Equity Security of the Company based on the then applicable ratio of ADSs to Ordinary Shares, which on the date of this Agreement is eight to one (8:1)). The Company shall provide the Shareholder, on a quarterly basis upon written request of the Shareholder, with such information regarding the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital on an actual basis or on a fully-diluted basis, as described in the written request of the Shareholder.  After the date on which the Shareholder notifies the Company in writing that the Shareholder and its Affiliates beneficially own a number of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) equal to or greater than 10.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital on an actual basis, the Company will notify the Shareholder as promptly as reasonably practicable of any transaction involving the sale, offer or issuance of Equity Securities that would, giving effect on a pro forma basis to such transaction, reduce the aggregate percentage ownership of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) beneficially owned by the Shareholder and its Affiliates.  The Shareholder also agrees to notify the Company from time to time and promptly upon any change of its beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs).

Section 3.5                Company Rights Agreement.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that it shall not, and shall cause the Rights Agent (as such term is defined in the Company Rights Agreement) not to, supplement or amend in any way the definition of Exempt Person therein insofar as it relates to Naspers Limited, the Shareholder or any of their respective Subsidiaries (as such term is defined in the Company Rights Agreement), in any way that would change or would reasonably be expected to adversely affect their status as Exempt Persons, in any case without prior written consent of MIH B2C, unless and until this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 4.2.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Company has the right, but not the obligation to, and to cause the Rights Agent to, supplement or amend the Company Rights Agreement for any reason that does not relate to supplementing or amending the definition of Exempt Person therein insofar as it relates to Naspers Limited, the Shareholder or any of their respective Subsidiaries in any way that would change or would reasonably be expected to adversely affect their status as Exempt Persons.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements set forth in the Rights Agreement, Prior Amendments and this Amendment, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1.  Amendment of Section 1(v).  Section 1(v) of the Rights Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

Section 2.  Full Force and Effect.  Except as expressly amended hereby, the Rights Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the provisions thereof.

Section 3.  Governing Law.  This Amendment shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A.  All actions and proceedings brought by the Rights Agent relating to or arising from, directly or indirectly, this Amendment may be litigated in courts located within the State of New York.  The Company hereby submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and consents that any service of process may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, directed to the Company at its address last specified for notices hereunder.  Each of the parties hereto hereby waives the right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment.

Section 5.  Descriptive Headings.  Descriptive headings of the several Sections of this Amendment are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions.

Section 6.  Rights Agreement as Amended.  From and after the date hereof, any reference to the Rights Agreement shall mean the Rights Agreement as amended hereby.

Section 7.  Severability.  If any term, provision, covenant, or restriction to this Amendment is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Amendment shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.
