     Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation (1)
     The goal of the Company’s executive compensation policy is to ensure that an appropriate relationship exists between executive compensation and the creation of Shareholder value, while at the same time attracting, motivating and retaining experienced executive officers. The Compensation Committee considers a number of factors in making recommendations to the Board of Directors, which may include:
    providing levels of compensation competitive with companies in comparable industries which are at a similar stage of development and in the Company’s geographic area;
 
    identifying appropriate performance targets for the Company;
 
    integrating the compensation of the executive officers of the Company with the achievement of performance targets;
 
    rewarding above average corporate performance; and
 
    recognizing and providing incentive for individual initiative and achievement.
     None of the executive officers or directors of the Company has entered into service contracts with the Company except Mr. Michael Siu who entered into an employment contract with the Company when he joined on July 1, 1997.
     The Compensation Committee endorses the position that equity ownership by the executive officers of the Company is beneficial in aligning their interests with those of our Shareholders, especially in the enhancement of Shareholder value by providing the executive officers with longer-term incentives.

     The following is a summary of the material terms of the proposed issuance of Subscription Shares and Warrants for the purchase of additional Shares by the Company for subscription by China Biotech, Eastern Ceremony and Harvest Smart (each a “Subscriber”, and collectively, the “Subscribers”) and the material provisions of the Subscription Agreements with the Subscribers (each a “Subscription Agreement”, and collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”), the Warrants and Registration Rights Agreements with China Biotech, Eastern Ceremony, Harvest Smart and Beijing Holdings (collectively, the “Subscription Transaction Documents”). The number of Subscription Shares to be offered is 2,500,000; the subscription price per Share will be US$2.50 per Share; the Warrants will be exercisable for a maximum of up to 3,000,000 Shares; and the Warrant exercise price will be US$5.00 per Share. Assuming full exercise of the Warrants, the number of Subscription Shares and Warrant Shares will constitute approximately 33% of the enlarged share capital of the Company. The Subscribers will be entitled to cause the Company to register the Subscription Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to separate registration rights agreements (“Registration Rights Agreements”) with the Company. The offer and sale of Subscription Securities by the Company (“Subscription Transactions”) has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). The Subscription Securities will be offered and sold to non – U.S. persons outside of the United States in offshore transactions in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act. None of the Subscription Securities may be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state statutes.
     This summary of the terms of the Subscription Transaction Documents is intended to provide you with basic information concerning the Subscription Transactions. It is not a substitute for reviewing the Subscription Transaction Documents appended to this Shareholders’ Circular as appendices. You should read this summary in conjunction with the Subscription Transaction Documents appended hereto.
Subscription Transactions
     The Company from time to time evaluates opportunities to raise funds on advantageous terms in order to achieve corporate objectives as established by the Board of Directors and to maximize return on equity for the Shareholders. After due and careful consideration, the Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interest of the Company and all of its Shareholders to expand the Company’s existing capital and investor base to include Shareholders with experience in venture capital investment to assist the Company to expand and further develop its business operations and other stable, long-term investors.

- 24 -


Table of Contents

     In furtherance of these objectives, the Board of Directors has identified China Biotech, Eastern Ceremony and Harvest Smart as potential new Shareholders of the Company. In particular, the Board of Directors believes that China Biotech’s experience in venture capital investment in the information technology industry in China will assist the Company in further enhancing its management efficiency, executing its strategic business plan and achieving corporate objectives.
     Accordingly, we have entered into separate Subscription Agreements with China Biotech, Eastern Ceremony and Harvest Smart, pursuant to which, subject to approval by Shareholders and satisfaction of the other conditions set out therein, the Company will issue a total of 2,500,000 Subscription Shares for cash consideration of US$2.50 per Share (“Share Subscription Price”), to China Biotech, Eastern Ceremony and Harvest Smart. China Biotech, Eastern Ceremony and Harvest Smart will subscribe and purchase 1,500,000, 500,000 and 500,000 Subscription Shares, respectively. In addition, each of China Biotech, Eastern Ceremony and Harvest Smart will subscribe for Warrants to purchase Shares in the amounts of 2,000,000, 500,000 and 500,000 Warrant Shares, respectively, issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants at an exercise price of US$5.00 per Share. The premium for the Warrants is US$0.01 per Warrant. The Company will receive total cash consideration of US$6,280,000 upon the completion of the Subscription Transactions (“Subscription Proceeds”), of which US$6,250,000 and US$30,000 are proceeds from the subscription of Subscription Shares and Warrants, respectively. The Company will receive a further US$15,000,000 from the Subscribers upon the full exercise of the Warrants.
Recommendation of the Special Committee and Fairness Opinion
     At the recommendation of the Board of Directors, a special committee consisting entirely of independent directors (“Special Committee”), and acting on behalf of the Company and the unaffiliated Shareholders, reviewed the proposed terms of the Subscription Transactions and the Subscription Agreements with the assistance of its own independent financial advisor, Altus Capital Limited (“Altus” or “Independent Financial Advisor”).

- 25 -


Table of Contents

     In making its decision to recommend the Subscription Transactions to the Board of Directors and the Shareholders, the Special Committee considered a number of factors, including the Company’s:
    historical business and financial performance;
 
    potential sources of funding;
 
    future prospects of its business lines as currently constituted; and
 
    financial position and historical trading prices of the Shares;
     as well as the fairness opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor retained by the Special Committee to evaluate the fairness of the proposed price per Share, attached as Annex 1.
     Historical Business and Financial Performance
     The Special Committee considered the fact that the Company’s business has undergone several evolutions since 2000. After exiting the sanitary wares and ceramic tiles business in 2000, the Company has pursued the information technology business, first as a systems integrator and subsequently as a network security service provider (“IT Business”). Since 2005, the Company has also engaged in the health and dietary supplement business, having begun to produce products utilizing the bio-active ingredients of bamboo (“Nutraceutical Business”).
     The financial results achieved by the Company throughout the years 2003 through 2005, and the first half of 2006, consisting of operating losses and net losses recorded in each period, have not been satisfactory to Shareholders or the Board of Directors. Operating losses for the years 2003, 2004 and 2005, and the first half of 2006 were US$548,000, US$1,348,000 US$2,237,000 and US$851,000, respectively. For the same periods, losses attributable to Shareholders were US$164,000, US$1,297,000, US$2,407,000 and US$736,000, respectively.
     The Special Committee attributes these results in part to the fact that the Company is a relatively new entrant in each of its business segments. This in turn creates challenges for future growth and development.
     Future Prospects of the Company’s Current Business Lines
     The Special Committee recognizes that the Company’s chosen industry segments show significant potential for growth in the future. IDC recently forecast that the network security market in China would maintain steady growth in the coming five years, with a projected compound annual growth rate of 20.9%. The forecast total market size in China in 2010 is estimated to be US$976 million. According to management, the Company’s hardware and software products are recognized as the leading network solutions in China, and the Company’s products have achieved acceptance among a number of large enterprises and government agencies.

Table of Contents

     In the case of the health and dietary supplements market in China, management estimates that the market will grow by approximately 20% per year, as the general public becomes more health conscious and affluent. Management believes that in the future demand will increase for scientifically-formulated products manufactured according to high standards of purity and quality control.
     However, the Company faces significant challenges in its attempt to capitalize on these trends. These include, among others:
    Competition. There is significant competition from other companies in both the IT Business and the Nutraceutical Business. Many of these companies have a larger scale of production; more resources dedicated to research and development of new products; higher levels of brand recognition; access to substantially greater sources of funding; established distribution networks and relationships; and other competitive advantages compared to the Company.
 
    Business Strategy. The Company’s Board of Directors and management must be able to articulate and execute a consistent, long-term strategy for growth. The Board of Directors and management must be able to identify and evaluate value-creating opportunities for expansion.
 
    Research and Development. In light of the Company’s chosen industries, significant expenditures must be devoted to research and development, in order to maintain an advantage in product development. Research and development is also important in relation to regulatory compliance. However, investments in intellectual property can be a high-risk activity.
 
    Brand Recognition, Customer Base and Distribution Network. Management must continue its efforts to build brand recognition for the Company’s products in both segments, expand the customer base to avoid risk concentration and extend the distribution network for its products. This is particularly true in the Nutraceutical Business, in light of the Company’s recent entrance to this business.
     In order to meet these challenges, the Special Committee recognizes that, among other things, the Company must expand its capital base and investigate potential new sources of funding.
     Potential Sources of Funding
     The Board of Directors and management have made various efforts to raise funds for the Company. These efforts have not been successful to date, largely due to a lack of demand for the Shares and volatility in their trading price. As set out above, the Special Committee recognizes that exploring new channels of fund raising will be critical for the Company to be successful in taking advantage of the projected growth in its product markets.

- 27 -


Table of Contents

     The Special Committee acknowledges that China Biotech has extensive experience in venture capital investments in China. Consequently, admitting China Biotech as a Shareholder of the Company may be advantageous in assisting the Company in further developing its businesses in China.
     Financial Position and Historical Share Price
     The Special Committee notes that the net asset value per Share, based on 11,309,497 Shares in issue, is US$1.03. The Special Committee further notes that, excluding goodwill and intangible assets, the net tangible asset value per Share is US$0.19.
     The Special Committee is aware that there has been significant volatility in the trading prices of the Shares during 2004, 2005 and 2006 year-to-date. Management has confirmed that, apart from negotiations relating to the transactions contemplated in the Subscription Agreements, the Placing Agency Agreement and the Sale and Purchase Agreement as further discussed in Proposal 3 below, which have all been subject to confidentiality obligations, there is not any matter that could cause fluctuations in trading price or volume.
     Accordingly, having taken into account the Company’s financial performance and position as well as its business prospects, the Special Committee believes that the net asset value per Share and net tangible asset value per Share more accurately reflect the value of the Shares than the current market price of US$8.68 per Share as of November 24, 2006.
     Fairness Opinion of Independent Financial Advisor
     The Special Committee solicited recommendations from the management of the Company in selecting an independent financial advisor. The management of the Company recommended Altus to the Special Committee based on the recommendation of China Merchants Securities. The Special Committee, after considering the experience of Altus, its independence from the Company, the Company’s major shareholders, directors and management and the proposed fee arrangement, determined that Altus is suitable for the role of the independent financial advisor and formally engaged the service of Altus on October 10, 2006. None of the Company’s directors, officers, or employees is a related party to the Independent Financial Advisor.
     The Independent Financial Advisor provided a fairness opinion, dated November 14, 2006, to the Special Committee. The fairness opinion provided that as of such date and based on and subject to various considerations and assumptions, the Subscription Price per Share of US$2.50, as reflected in the Subscription Agreements is within the fair and reasonable price range of US$2.25 to 2.75 per Share and therefore, fair to the Company and the existing Shareholders of the Company. In addition, the Independent Financial Advisor opined that the Warrant exercise price of US$5.00 per Warrant Share, as reflected in the Subscription Agreement and the Warrants, is also fair and reasonable to the Company and the existing Shareholders of the Company.

- 28 -


Table of Contents

     In arriving at its fairness opinion, the Independent Financial Adviser identified and considered a number of factors that it believed to be the most important considerations under the circumstances including:
    the historical financial performance of the Company;
 
    business prospects of the Company’s two core business segments;
 
    the financial position of the Company;
 
    historical trading history of the Shares; and
 
    past fundraising activities of the Company.
     Conclusion of the Independent Financial Advisor
     Based on its own review and information provided by the directors and representatives of the Company, and taking into consideration the Company’s past performance and uncertainty with respect to the Company’s ability to successfully compete in its two core businesses, the Independent Financial Advisor is of the view that the Subscription Price per Share of US$2.50, as reflected in the Subscription Agreements is within the fair and reasonable price range of US$2.25 to 2.75 per Share and represents a significant premium to the net asset value and net tangible asset value per Share of US$1.03 and US$0.19 respectively and therefore, fair to the Company and the other Shareholders of the Company.
     In addition, the Independent Financial Advisor has opined that the Warrant exercise price of US$5.00 per Warrant Share, as reflected in the Subscription Agreements and the Warrant certificates, is also fair and reasonable to the Company and the other Shareholders of the Company. The Independent Financial Advisor therefore recommended that the Board of Directors and the Shareholders approve the Subscription Transactions and the terms of the Subscription Agreements.
     Conclusion
     Having taken the foregoing factors into consideration, the Special Committee finds that:
    (i) the terms of the Subscription Agreements and the issue of the Subscription Shares and Warrants, (ii) the Subscription Price per Share of US$2.50, and (iii) the Warrant exercise price of US$5.00 per Warrant Share, each as reflected in the Subscription Agreements and the Warrant Certificates, are fair and reasonable to the Company and the unaffiliated Shareholders; and
 
    entering into the Subscription Agreements and the Subscription Transactions contemplated therein is in the best interests of the Company and the unaffiliated Shareholders;

     and recommends to the Board of Directors and the Shareholders that the Subscription Agreements and the Subscription Transactions contemplated therein should be approved.
     Approval of Shareholders for the transactions contemplated in the Subscription Agreements, including the issue of Subscription Shares and Warrants, is required pursuant to our Memorandum and Articles of Association and pursuant to NASDAQ’s listing rules. Our Memorandum and Articles of Association require a Special Resolution of Shareholders which requires not less than 75% of the votes of the Shares entitled to vote which were present at the Annual Meeting and were voted and not abstained to approve the issuance of new Shares. NASDAQ’s listing rules require shareholder approval for the issuance by a listed company of shares (or the right to purchase shares) equal to or greater than 20% of the issuer’s shares outstanding before the transaction. As noted above, the issue of the Subscription Shares and Warrants will equal 49% of Shares outstanding prior to such issuance, and so Shareholder approval is required.

CTDC’S DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
     The Company’s business has undergone several evolutions since 2000. Initially engaged in the production of the sanitary wares and ceramic tiles, the Company transitioned itself to become a systems integrator in 2000, and subsequently as a network security service provider in 2002. With the acquisition of 100% of the equity interest in China Natures Technology (“CNT”), a nutraceutical company in China, from our single largest Shareholder, Beijing Holdings, in 2005, the Company broadened its existing business scope to include the development of nutraceutical products utilizing bio-active components of bamboo extracts.
     Network Security Business
     The Company’s network security business focuses on the development and supply of network security applications. This business has developed products and technology that are certified by the Chinese government. It has established over the years a valuable customer base in China, including banks, business conglomerates, government agencies, and information technology companies. The Company will continue to strengthen its marketing efforts to increase market share by developing more industry specific applications. The Company also intends to strengthen its network security service business by providing packaged network security solutions to customers. However, there can be no assurance that the Company can successfully achieve the above strategies due to significant competition in the Chinese market.
     Nutraceutical Business
     The Company’s nutraceutical business focuses on the development and supply of nutraceutical products based on bamboo extracts. According to the statistics from the Market Research Committee of the Association of Health Care of China, the health dietary supplement market in China is approximately RMB60 billion and is continuing to grow at approximately 20% per annum. There are approximately 2,025 dietary supplement companies in China, most of which are small with limited production capabilities. The Company believes that the nutraceutical business in China will continue to grow with the rise in general health awareness and the increase in disposable income. The Company believes that through its newly-acquired subsidiary, CNT, which currently holds 10 patents of bamboo extractives in nutraceutical and healthy food fields, it is well positioned to capitalize on the growing business opportunities in the nutraceutical industry in China.
     Management intends to focus its business on emerging industries, including network security and nutraceutical and related biotechnology industries. The Company will carry out an investment and acquisition strategy in its two businesses by continuing to seek companies with ownership of intellectual properties, proven products, unique value proposition in the marketplace, profitable, strong management team, and a growing customer base. However, there can be no assurance that the Company can or will find a suitable company to acquire within such industries, or that any such acquisition can be consummated on terms acceptable to us.

PROPOSAL 4
Approval of Amended and Restated Memorandum
and Articles of Association
     We propose making a number of significant amendments to our Memorandum and Articles of Association, as set out in the attached Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The main purposes for these amendments are:
    To implement international best practices of corporate governance.
     The Amended and Restated Articles of Association will provide for the establishment and maintenance of committees of the Board of Directors, including an audit committee, a nominating committee and a compensation committee, that meet all relevant standards of independence, including those of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ listing standards, for so long as our Shares are listed on NASDAQ or another national securities exchange. Although we currently have established audit, nominating and compensation committees, the existing Articles of Association have no specific requirements in this regard. This amendment will bring the Articles of Association in line with our current practice.
    To increase transparency and corporate accountability to Shareholders.
     The Amended and Restated Articles of Association will require us to hold an annual general meeting of shareholders, to prepare financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) and to have such financial statements audited by independent auditors. Although we currently hold an annual general meeting of Shareholders, prepare financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and have such financial statements audited by independent auditors, the existing Articles of Association have no specific requirements in this regard. This amendment will bring the Articles of Association in line with our current practice.
    To provide the Board of Directors with authority in relation to the issuance of Shares and other basic corporate matters, to ensure flexibility of decision-making consistent with our status as a public listed company.
     Under the current Articles of Association, the issuance of Shares and fixing the consideration for such Shares require a Special Resolution of Shareholders. These provisions are unusually restrictive for the constitution of a NASDAQ listed company. For public listed companies, decision-making authority regarding such matters is usually conferred on the board of directors, to ensure that the board has sufficient flexibility to finance the company’s operations and respond to market opportunities. This amendment will permit the Board of Directors to issue new Shares; provided that, for so long as our Shares are listed on NASDAQ or another national securities exchange, the Shareholders must approve any issuance of new Shares in excess of 20% of the Shares outstanding immediately prior to such issuance.

- 46 -


Table of Contents

    To eliminate certain other provisions relating to Special Resolutions of Shareholders that are inconsistent with our status as a public listed company.
     Under the current Articles of Association, all transfers of Shares; issuance or disposal of Shares; combination or division of Shares; increase and reduction of the Company’s capital; listing of the Company’s Shares; entering into new lines of business or making acquisitions of new businesses; substantial change in the primary businesses of the Company or its subsidiaries; liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy of the Company or its subsidiaries; disposition of all or a substantial part of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries; all require approval by a Special Resolution of Shareholders. Some of these provisions are unusually restrictive for the articles of association of a public listed company and, in some cases, inconsistent with such status.
     The proposed amendments will either eliminate these provisions or lower the approval requirements in respect of these matters. The result is that some of these actions, such as transfers of Shares, will no longer require any approval provided that the transfers of Shares comply with other relevant procedural requirements set out in the proposed Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The listing of Shares; the issuance or disposal of Shares; the acquisition of assets that are outside the ordinary course of business of the Company or its subsidiaries; the entering into of new lines of business or making acquisitions of new businesses and the substantial change in the primary businesses of the Company or its subsidiaries, will be subject to a resolution of the Board of Directors instead of a Special Resolution of the Shareholders. The merger, consolidation or other business combination affecting the Company or its subsidiaries will, in accordance with the requirements of the laws of the British Virgin Islands, be subject to an Ordinary Resolution instead of a Special Resolution of the Shareholders. Other actions, such as the combination or division of Shares, increase and reduction of the Company’s capital, liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy of the Company or its subsidiaries, disposition of all or a substantial part of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, will be subject to approval by an Ordinary Resolution instead of a Special Resolution of the Shareholders. We believe that these amendments are consistent with our status as a public listed company and market practice.
Summary of Major Amendments in the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association
     The following is a general description of the principal changes, deletions, and additional requirements proposed for the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association and is qualified by and subject to the full text of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association:
     Memorandum of Association
     Registered Agent
     The name of the registered agent has now been amended to reflect the current name of the registered agent.

- 47 -


Table of Contents

     Objects
     The Memorandum of Association has been amended to encompass the current scope and nature of the business activities of the Company.
     Authorized Capital
     The authorized share capital of the Company has been increased from US$25,000,000 to US$50,000,000 through amendment of the Memorandum of Association to provide for future allotments and issue of Shares in the capital of the Company.
     The Company intends to actively explore potential business opportunities in its core business industries to maximize the return to its Shareholders. As such, the Company may from time to time require additional financing for expansion or acquisitions of assets or businesses. The Board of Directors believes that the proposed increase in the Company’s authorized Share capital will be reasonably sufficient to cover the financing needs of the Company in the near to intermediate future, and will provide the Company with the ability to issue additional shares subject to obtaining the approval of the Board of Directors or Shareholders, as applicable, for financing purposes on a timely basis.
     Transfer of Shares
     Under Clause 14 of the existing Memorandum of Association, and subject to the provisions of Regulation 39 of the Articles of Association, Shares may be transferred, subject to the prior or subsequent approval of the Company as evidenced by a resolution of the Shareholders. The Board of Directors believes that such requirement is burdensome and not appropriate in light of the Company’s status as a listed company on NASDAQ. To subject any transfer of Shares to either prior or subsequent approval of Shareholder would impose unnecessary burdens on the holders of the Shares and would affect the liquidity of the Shares of the Company. As such, the proposed amendments have deleted the requirement to subject any transfer of Shares in the Company to either prior or subsequent approval of the Company as evidenced by a resolution of the Shareholders from the Memorandum of Association. Under the proposed amendments, the Shares of the Company may be transferred without any approval from either the Board of Directors or Shareholders.

- 48 -


Table of Contents

     Amendment of the Memorandum and Articles of Association
     Under the existing Memorandum of Association, the Company may amend its Memorandum and Articles of Association by a Special Resolution of the Shareholders.
     The proposed amendment will lower the Shareholder approval threshold required for amending the Memorandum and Articles of Association from a super majority to a simple majority vote. The proposed amendment if approved, would allow the Company to make necessary changes in its constitutional documents to address the changing needs of the Company in a more efficient manner without unnecessary delay.
     Articles of Association
     Definitions
     Definitions for “Board”, “Directors” and “NASDAQ” have been added, and the existing definition for “the Act” has been amended to extend reference to the BVI Business Companies Act 2004 to which the Company shall become subject on and after 1 January 2007.
     Issuance and Disposal of Shares
     Under the existing Articles of Association, the allotment, issuance or disposal of unissued Shares and treasury Shares of the Company, and the determination of what shall constitute appropriate consideration for the issue of Shares, are matters requiring approval by a Special Resolution of the Shareholders. These provisions are unusually restrictive for the articles of association of a public listed company. For public listed companies, decision-making authority regarding such matters is usually conferred on the Board of Directors, to ensure that the board has sufficient flexibility to finance the company’s operations and respond to market opportunities.
     The proposed amendments of Regulations 11, 13, 14, 16 and 18 of the Articles of Association will provide the Board of Directors the authority and the flexibility to deal with matters involving the allotment, issue or disposal of unissued Shares and treasury Shares of the Company, and the determination of what shall constitute appropriate consideration for the issue of Shares in a timely manner by a resolution of directors rather than by a Special Resolution of the Shareholders. The Board of Directors will be able to issue new Shares provided that, for so long as our Shares are listed on NASDAQ or another national securities exchange, the Shareholders must approve any issuance of new Shares in excess of 20% of the Shares outstanding immediately prior to such issuance. This added flexibility will significantly improve the Company’s ability to act quickly in response to potential business opportunities. However, such Share issuance will also dilute the shareholdings of the existing Shareholders without the need to obtain the approval from the Shareholders.

- 49 -


Table of Contents

     Transfer of Shares
     Specific provision has now been made for a mechanism to deal with the transfer of uncertificated Shares.
     Reduction or Increase in Authorized Share Capital; Division or Combination of Shares
     Under the existing Articles of Association, any proposal to increase or reduce authorized share capital of the Company; to divide or combine shares; and to increase capital through transfer of an amount from surplus to capital require the approval by a Special Resolution of the Shareholders.
     The proposed amendments to Regulations 47, 48 and 49 would lower the approval requirement from a Special Resolution to an Ordinary Resolution of the Shareholders. Accordingly, a proposal to increase or reduce authorized share capital, to combine or divide Shares or to increase capital of the Company by transferring an amount of surplus of the Company to capital will only require a simple majority vote of the Shareholders.
     Meetings
     Under the existing Articles of Association, there is no specific requirement that the Company must hold at least one annual meeting of the Shareholders. Under Regulation 54, the Board of Directors is required to convene a Shareholders’ meeting upon receipt of the written request of Shareholders holding 10% or more of the outstanding voting Shares. In addition, Regulation 55 of the existing Articles of Association only requires the Board of Directors to give not less than 7 days notice to the Shareholders before holding a Shareholders’ meeting.
     The proposed amendments to Regulation 53 will require the Company to hold at least one annual meeting of the Shareholders. In addition, Regulation 54 has been amended to raise the shareholding threshold required for demanding a Shareholders’ meeting from the current 10% to 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares of the Company. The required notice period for the meetings of the Shareholders in Regulation 55 has also been increased from 7 to 21 days to provide the Shareholders of the Company additional time to consider proposals submitted by the Board of Directors and to reflect market practice of a NASDAQ listed company. The quorum for an adjourned meeting of Shareholders of the Company (either in person or by proxy) shall not be less than 33.33 per cent of the votes of the Shares entitled to vote on the resolutions to be considered at the Shareholders’ meeting.

- 50 -


Table of Contents

     Matters requiring Special Resolution
     Regulation 73 of the existing Articles of Association requires a Special Resolution of the Shareholders of the Company to approve the listing of the Company’s Shares other than for quotation on NASDAQ or a stock exchange in the US; any acquisition of assets which is outside the ordinary course of business of the Company or its subsidiaries or any acquisition, merger, consolidation or business combination that affects the Company or its subsidiaries; any substantial changes in the primary businesses of the Company or its subsidiaries; and any liquidation, dissolution, winding up, bankruptcy insolvency, recapitalization of the Company or its subsidiaries, or the sale of assets or other disposition of substantial part of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.
     The Board of Directors believes that provisions under existing Regulation 73 are unusually restrictive for the articles of association of a public listed company and may unnecessarily hinder the development of the Company and the Board of Directors’ ability to take advantage of emerging opportunities.
     The proposed Amended and Restated Articles of Association deletes Regulation 73 in its entirety. The result of the deletion of Regulation 73 is that some of these actions, such as the listing of Shares, the acquisition of assets outside the ordinary course of business of the Company or its subsidiaries, substantial change in the primary businesses of the Company or its subsidiaries, will be subject to a resolution of the Board of Directors instead of a Special Resolution of the Shareholders. The merger, consolidation or other business combination affecting the Company or its subsidiaries, will, in accordance with the requirements of the laws of the British Virgin Islands, be subject to an Ordinary Resolution instead of a Special Resolution of the Shareholders. The liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy of the Company or its subsidiaries, disposition of more than 50% of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries will also be subject to approval by an Ordinary Resolution instead of a Special Resolution of the Shareholders, in accordance with the requirements of the laws of the British Virgin Islands.
     In addition to the deletion of Regulation 73, we also propose to make other amendments to the Articles of Association which will eliminate or lower the approval requirements in respect of certain other matters. Transfers of Shares for example, will no longer require any Shareholder approval provided that the transfers of Shares comply with other relevant procedural requirements set out in the proposed Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The issuance of Shares up to 20% of the aggregate number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to such issuance and the disposal of Shares will be subject to a resolution of the Board of Directors instead of a Special Resolution of the Shareholders for so long as our Shares are listed on NASDAQ or another national securities exchange. The issuance of new Shares in excess of 20% of the Shares outstanding immediately prior to such issuance will still require the approval of the Shareholders by an Ordinary Resolution. Other actions, such as the combination or division of Shares, increase and reduction of the Company’s capital will be subject to approval by an Ordinary Resolution instead of a Special Resolution of the Shareholders. We believe that these amendments are consistent with our status as a public listed company and market practice.

     Under the proposed Amended and Restated Articles of Association, directors will be divided into three classes, with the term of each class ending at the annual meeting of the Shareholders three years after the annual meeting at which such directors were elected. Initially, the term of directors of the three classes will end at the annual meeting of Shareholders in 2007, 2008 and 2009. The result of these changes is that only approximately one-third of directors will be subject to resignation, and only that number of directors will be subject to election or re-election by Shareholders, at each annual meeting. Retiring directors shall be eligible for re-election. Under the existing Articles of Association, the entire Board of Directors is treated as one class. The terms of all directors expire at each annual meeting of Shareholders, and all directors are subject to election or re-election by Shareholders at each annual meeting. The Board of Directors believes that the proposed amendments will ensure there is a high degree of continuity in the composition of the Board which will enhance the operation efficiency of the Board of Directors. On the other hand, the classification of the Board of Directors may make it more difficult for shareholders of a potential acquiror to change the composition of the Board of Directors.
     Proceedings of Directors
     Under Regulation 53 of the existing Articles of Association, the Company only needs to provide the directors not less than 3 days advance notice before holding a Board of Directors meeting.
     The proposed amendment to Regulation 53 has increased the notice period from 3 to 7 days. The proposed amendment improves corporate governance by ensuring proper notice is given to directors for any board meeting to be held so that the directors may have sufficient time to consider and evaluate the matters to be discussed during the board meeting.
     Nominating Committee, Compensation Committee and Audit Committee
     The proposed Amended and Restated Articles of Association will add Regulations 106A to C, 106D to F and 134A to C to provide for establishment and maintenance of committees of the Board of Directors, including audit committee, nominating committee and compensation committee, that meet all relevant standards of independence, including those of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ listing standards, for so long as our Shares are listed on NASDAQ or another national securities exchange. Although we currently have established audit, nominating and compensation committees, the existing Articles of Association have no specific requirements in this regard. This amendment will bring our Articles of Association in line with our current practice.

     Annual Meeting, Accounts and Audit
     The proposed Amended and Restated Articles of Association will add Regulations 126A – B to impose specific requirements requiring us to hold an annual general meeting of shareholders, to prepare financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) and to have such financial statements audited by independent auditors. Although we currently hold an annual general meeting of shareholders, prepare financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and have such financial statements audited by independent auditors, the existing Articles of Association have no specific requirements in this regard. This amendment will bring our Articles of Association in line with our current practice.
     The proposed amendments if approved, will require the directors to cause to be prepared annual financial statements in a way that will giving a true and fair view of the results, financial condition, cash flows of the Company as well as changes in shareholders’ equity as of and for the period ended on the balance sheet date. The directors will have the responsibility to ensure that the financial statements of the Company are fairly presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States in effect from time to time for so long as the Shares of the Company are listed on NASDAQ or another national securities exchange. The proposed amendments will also require that the annual financial statements prepared by the Company be audited by independent auditors who shall comply with standards of independence established by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
     In summary, the Board of Directors believe that the proposed amendments, if approved, will bring the Memorandum and the Articles of Association of the Company into line with that of the other listed companies and into full compliance with the relevant SEC rules and NASDAQ requirements. The proposed amendments will strengthen and enhance the Company’s corporate governance and internal control procedures, including internal control over financial reporting, and increase transparency and accountability to Shareholders by requiring annual meetings and preparation of audited financial statements.
     As such, on November 27, 2006, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution by unanimous written consent approving a proposal for the Company to adopt the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association containing changes outlined above. The approval of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association requires the approval of Shareholders by a Special Resolution and the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association incorporating the proposed amendments are set forth in Annex 6 and 6.1, respectively. The Board of Directors has determined that the adoption of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association is advisable and has directed that the proposal for adoption be considered at the Annual Meeting.
     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE SPECIAL RESOLUTION WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPOSAL TO ADOPT THE AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION.

PROPOSAL 5
Approval of the Company’s 2006 Stock Option Plan
     On November 16, 2006, Members of the Compensation Committee unanimously resolved by a written resolution to recommend to the Board of Directors of the Company to approve the Company’s 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Stock Option Plan”). The Board of Directors adopted the 2006 Stock Option Plan on November 27, 2006, which covered 1,000,000 Shares and directed that the 2006 Stock Option Plan be submitted to the Company’s Shareholders for approval at the Annual Meeting.
     The Compensation Committee comprises three independent directors, Mr. Peter Fu, Mr. L C Wan and Mr. Yezhong Ni.

     2006 Stock Option Plan
     Types of Grants and Eligibility
     The 2006 Stock Option Plan is designed to provide incentives to employees (including key employees such as officers and directors) of the Company and to consultants and directors who are not employees of the Company and its subsidiary companies (the “Group”) and to offer an additional inducement in obtaining the services of such individuals.
     Shares Subject to the 2006 Stock Option Plan
     The aggregate number of Shares for which options may be granted under the 2006 Stock Option Plan may not exceed 1,000,000 shares, such Shares may consist either in whole or in part of authorized but unissued Shares or Shares held in the treasury of the Company. Shares subject to an option which expires, or for any reason is cancelled or is terminated, unexercised, or which ceases for any reason to be exercisable may again become available for the granting of options under the 2006 Stock Option Plan.

     Administration of the 2006 Stock Option Plan
     The 2006 Stock Option Plan is administered by the Company’s Compensation Committee (the “Committee”).

With respect to all options, the Committee has such discretion to determine the amount, if any, necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to withhold taxes; with the consent of the optionee, to cancel or modify an option, provides such option as modified would be permitted to be granted on such date under the terms of the 2006 Stock Option Plan; to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the 2006 Stock Option Plan; and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for administering the 2006 Stock Option Plan. The Board of Directors also has the authority described above with respect to the granting of director options.
     Exercise Price
     The exercise price of the Shares under each option is to be determined by the Committee at the time of the grant. The exercise price of the Shares is to be equal to the fair market value of the Shares subject to such option on the date of grant.
     Term
     The term of each option granted pursuant to the 2006 Stock Option Plan is established by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at or before the time such option is granted. Subject to early termination, the option of each non-employee director is exercisable for a term of ten years from the date of grant.

Table of Contents

     Exercise
     An option (or any part or installment thereof), to the extent then exercisable, is to be exercised by giving written notice to the Company at its principal office. Payment in full of the aggregate exercise price may be made (a) in cash or by certified check, or (b) if the applicable stock option contract at the time of grant so permits, with the authorization of the Committee, with previously acquired Shares having an aggregate fair market value, on the date of exercise, equal to the aggregate exercise price of all options being exercised, or (c) with any combination of cash, certified check or Shares.
     The Committee may, in its discretion, permit payment of the exercise price of an option by delivery by the optionee of a properly executed exercise notice, together with a copy of his irrevocable instructions to a broker acceptable to the Committee to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds sufficient to pay such exercise price.
     Termination of Relationship
     Any employee holder of an option whose employment or relationship with the Company (and its parent and subsidiaries) has terminated for any reason other than his death or disability may exercise such option, to the extent exercisable on the date of such termination, at any time within three months after the date of termination, but not thereafter and in no event after the date the option would otherwise have expired; provided, however, that if his employment is terminated either (a) for cause, or (b) without the consent of the Company, said option terminates immediately. Options granted to employees under the 2006 Stock Option Plan are not affected by any change in the status of the holder so long as he or she continues to be a full-time employee of the Company, its parent or any of its subsidiaries (regardless of having been transferred from one corporation to another).
     Death or Disability
     If an optionee dies (a) while he is an employee or consultant to, the Company, its parent or any of its subsidiaries, (b) within three months after the termination of such relationship (unless such termination was for cause or without the consent of the Company), or (c) within one year following the termination of such relationship by reason of disability, an option may be exercised, to be extent exercisable on the date of death, by an executor, administrator or other person at the time entitled by law to the rights of the optionee under such option, at any time within one year after death, but not thereafter and in no event after the date the option would otherwise have expired.
     Any optionee whose relationship has terminated by reason of disability may exercise his option, to the extent exercisable upon the effective date of such termination, at any time within one year after such date, but not thereafter and in no event after the date the option would otherwise have expired.

     Adjustments Upon Changes in Shares
     Notwithstanding any other provisions of the 2006 Stock Option Plan, in the event of any change in the outstanding Shares by reason of a share dividend, recapitalization, merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, split-up, combination or exchange of Shares or the like, the aggregate number and kind of Shares subject to the 2006 Stock Option Plan, the aggregate number and kind of Shares subject to each outstanding option and the exercise price thereof will be appropriately adjusted by the Board of Directors, whose determination will be conclusive.
     In the event of (a) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company or (b) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, any outstanding options will terminate, unless other provision is made therefore in the transaction.
     Amendments and Termination of the 2006 Stock Option Plan
     No option may be granted under the 2006 Stock Option Plan after December 2016. The Board of Directors, without further approval of the Company’s Shareholders, may at any time suspend or terminate the 2006 Stock Option Plan, in whole or in part, or amend it from time to time in such respects as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, to comply with the provisions of certain rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, among other things; provided, however, that no amendment may be effective without the requisite prior or subsequent Shareholder approval which would (a) except as required for anti-dilution adjustments, increase the maximum number of Shares for which options may be granted under the 2006 Stock Option Plan, (b) materially increase the benefits to participants under the 2006 Stock Option Plan, or (c) change the eligibility requirements for individuals entitled to receive options under the 2006 Stock Option Plan.
     Non-Transferability of Options
     No option granted under the 2006 Stock Option Plan may be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and options may be exercised, during the lifetime of the holder thereof, only by such holder or such holder’s legal representatives. Except to the extent provided above, options may not be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or disposed of in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and may not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE SPECIAL RESOLUTION WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE 2006 STOCK OPTION PLAN.

PROPOSAL 6
Approval of Appointment of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
     The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors by overseeing the performance of the independent registered public accounting firm that performs audit services for the Company and is responsible for retaining (subject to Shareholder ratification) and, as necessary, terminating, the independent registered public accounting firm. On November 27, 2006, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors resolved to appoint Friedman LLP to be the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. The term of the Company’s current independent registered public accounting firm, PriceWaterhouseCoopers (“PwC”), which has served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since the Company’s initial public offering in 1996, will expire on December 22, 2006.
     Before selecting Friedman LLP, the Audit Committee carefully considered Friedman LLP’s qualifications as independent accountants for the Company. This included a review of its professional experience, its reputation for integrity and competence in the fields of accounting and auditing. The Audit Committee has expressed its satisfaction with Friedman LLP in all of these respects. The Board of Directors and the Company’s Audit Committee believe that it is appropriate to submit for approval by its Shareholders its appointment of Friedman LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting Firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.
     A representative of Friedman LLP is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. That representative will have an opportunity to make a statement and will be available to respond to questions regarding this and any other appropriate matters. A brief introduction on Friedman LLP is attached to this Shareholders’ Circular as Annex 7.
     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ORDINARY RESOLUTION IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE APPOINTMENT OF FRIEDMAN LLP AS THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE COMPANY FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2006.

Dear Sir/Madam,
CHINA TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT GROUP CORPORATION
(THE “COMPANY”)
SUBSCRIPTION OF NEW SHARES AND WARRANTS TO BE ISSUED BY THE COMPANY
BY A NUMBER OF NEW INVESTORS
INTRODUCTION
We refer to our appointment as independent financial adviser to advise the Special Committee, which comprises Messrs. Xinping Shi, LC Wan and Weidong Wang, in relation to, in particular, the fairness and reasonableness on the pricing of the proposed subscription of new shares of the Company (“New Shares”) and warrants (“Warrants”) to be issued by the Company, by a number of new investors (collectively, the “Transactions”).
For the avoidance of doubt, this Letter is addressed only to the Special Committee and not to the shareholders of the Company. The purpose of this Letter is to assist the Special Committee in forming an opinion on the fairness and reasonableness of the prices for the Transactions.
BASIS OF OUR OPINION AND RECOMMENDATION
In formulating our opinion with regard to the Transactions, we have relied to a considerable extent on the information, statements, opinions and representations contained in filings of the Company to the regulators, including the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and the information, opinions and representations provided or made to us by the Directors and representatives of the Company. We assume that all such information, statements, opinions and representations, for which the Directors and representatives of the Company are solely and wholly responsible, are true and

Annex 1
accurate at the time when they were made and continue to be so at the date hereof. We have assumed that all statements of belief, opinion and intention of the Directors were reasonably made after due and careful inquiry. We have also sought and obtained confirmation from the Company that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided and referred to. We have also relied on certain publicly available information and we have assumed such information to be accurate and reliable, and we have not carried out any independent verification on the accuracy of such information.
The Directors confirmed that they have provided us with all currently available information and documents which are available under present circumstances to enable us to reach an informed view, and we have relied on the relevant information so as to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have no reason to suspect that any material facts or information (which is known to the Company, its representatives and the Directors) have been omitted or withheld from the information supplied or opinions expressed nor to doubt the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, facts, and representation provided, or the reasonableness of the opinions expressed by the Company, its representatives and the Directors. We have not carried out any independent verification on the information provided to us by the Company, its representatives and the Directors, nor have we conducted any form of independent in-depth investigation into the business and affairs, assets and liabilities of the Company, and the prospects of the Group.
PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED
In forming our opinion and recommendation, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:
1.   BACKGROUND OF THE TRANSACTION
The Company has appointed China Merchants Securities (HK) Co., Ltd. as placing agent for the placing of an aggregate of 2,500,000 New Shares, with the Warrants to purchase an additional 3,000,000 New Shares. The New Shares represent: (i) approximately 22.11% of the existing issued share capital of the Company; and (ii) approximately 18.10% of the issued share capital as enlarged by the placing of New Shares (before full exercise of the Warrants).
The New Shares will be placed at the range of US$2.25 to 2.75 per New Share and the Company will also allot and issue the Warrants to the placees of the New Shares. The Warrants will be issued in units of US$0.01 each for a total of US$30,000 in Warrant premium which entitle the holder thereof to subscribe for shares of the Company (“Shares”). According to the Company, China Biotech Holdings Limited (“CBH”) intends to subscribe for 1,500,000 New Shares. Mr. Alan Li, Mr. Zhenwei Lu and Mr. Yibing Zhang, respectively the Director, Chief Investment Officer and Senior Vice-President of the Company, are also directors of CBH.

Table of Contents

Annex 1
Gross proceeds from the placing of New Shares and the Warrants are estimated to be between US$5,655,000 and US$6,905,000 and the Company intends to use the net proceeds: (i) to fund the existing business operations of the Group; (ii) to expand the businesses of the Group including the construction of a factory in Fujian etc.; and (iii) for general working capital of the Group.
Based on the 11,309,497 Shares in issue as at the date hereof, the price range of US$2.25 to 2.75 per New Share values the Company at between US$25.45 million and US$31.10 million.
2.   FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE GROUP
The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) were originally engaged in the sanitary wares and ceramic tiles manufacturing business. This business was subsequently disposed of and the Group ventured into internet-related business in June 2000, focusing on system integration services. In 2001, the Group began to phase out the system integration business due to intense competition and in turn, repositioned itself as a network security service and related software developer (“IT Business”). It further ventured into the nutraceutical business in October 2005, which involves the development of nutraceutical products utilising bio-active components of bamboo (“Nutraceutical Business”).
Set out below is an extract of information on the continuing operations of the Group based on its audited consolidated results for the three financial years ended 31 December (“FY”) 2005 and its unaudited consolidated results for the six months ended 30 June 2005 (“HY2005”) and 30 June 2006 (“HY2006”):

Annex 1
 
Note 1:   The functional currency of the Company is Renminbi (“Rmb”), the lawful currency of the People’s Republic of China. For the convenience of readers, translation of amounts from Rmb into United States Dollars (“US$”) has been made at the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfer in foreign currencies as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York City on June 30, 2006 of Rmb 7.9943 = US$1.00 for the operating results of FY2003, FY2004, FY2005, HY2005 and HY2006. No representation is made that the Rmb amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at that rate or at any other certain rate.
FY2004 vs. FY2003
Revenues decreased by more than two-thirds in FY2004 compared to the previous year as the restructuring exercise at the Group’s largest customer of the IT Business resulted in cessation of orders from the Group for two quarters. Consequently, gross profit also decreased accordingly although gross profit margin has been maintained.
As SG&A were only marginally lower despite the large decline in revenue, loss attributable to shareholders increased sharply to US$1.30 million in FY2004 compared with US$0.16 million in FY2003.
FY2005 vs. FY2004
Revenues increased substantially in FY2005 due to (i) the resumption of orders from the Company’s largest customer and increase orders from new customers; and (ii) additional contribution from the Nutraceutical Business from October 2005 onwards. Gross profit margins improved as there is a higher proportion of sales of self-developed products for which the Group has more effective control on material costs.
Despite an increase in gross profit, loss attributable to shareholders increased to US$2.4 million following significant increase in SG&A, which was due mainly to increases in (i) headcount at both corporate office level and the IT Business; and (ii) legal and professional fees incurred for acquisition of the Nutraceutical Business and advisory services.
HY2006 vs HY2005
Compared with HY2005, revenue increased in HY2006 due to additional contribution from the Nutraceutical Business. This is despite a decline in revenue of IT Business. With gross profit margin being maintained at similar levels, gross profit improved to US$0.27 million.
Notwithstanding, SG&A was substantially higher due to higher product development headcount for the IT Business as well as expenses relating to the expansion of corporate office. Consequently, loss attributable to shareholders increased by about 190% to US$0.74 million.

Table of Contents

Annex 1
In summary, the business track record of the Group has not been satisfactory in the past few years. While gross profit margins were maintained, there has been significant fluctuation in revenue between FY2003 and FY2005 due to reliance on certain customers. The Group has continued to incur losses during the period under review as SG&A increased following headcount increases at the corporate office and IT Business and the acquisition of the Nutraceutical Business.
3.   BUSINESS PROSPECTS
Since its inception, the Group’s businesses have undergone several transformations. The Group exited from the sanitary wares and ceramic tiles business in year 2000 as this business segment suffered significant losses where profit margins were eroded as a result of competitions. The Group also terminated its system integration services due to market competitions and repositioned itself as a network security service provider.
IT Business
IDC recently forecast that the performance of the network security market of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) would maintain a steady growth rate with compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 20.9% in the coming five years. Total sales in 2010 are estimated to reach US$976 million. According to the management, the Group’s hardware and software products are recognized as the leading network solutions in the PRC and targets large enterprises and government bureaus. The Group is progressively shifting towards marketing its self-developed products, which command higher profit margins.
While the network security market is poised to grow, it is also highly competitive and requires intensive capital investment in research and development (“R&D”) capabilities. We believe the Group’s success in this business segment may be dependent on the management’s ability in setting and executing sound business strategies. These include its ability to successfully market its self-developed products under its own brand name, develop its sales network and maintain competitiveness in terms of R&D capabilities. Also, efforts may need to be made to further diversify the Group’s customer base to avoid over reliance.
Nutraceutical Business
The health dietary supplement market in the PRC has a growth rate of 20% and is expected to continue to grow, as the general public becomes more health conscious and affluent. While the current market is highly fragmented and based mainly on traditional Chinese medicinal and manufacturing processes, going forward, products are likely to be more scientifically based. This will benefit the Group’s products.
The Nutraceutical Business of the Group is at an early stage of development as the products are still being marketed. Being newly acquired, it may take time to fully integrate the Nutraceutical Business.

Annex 1
In summary, there are no clear indications that the business and financial performance of the Group will significantly turnaround in the near term although in the longer term, both the IT Business and Nutraceutical Business appear to have vast potential, capitalizing on the general growth of the PRC market.
Given the Group’s relatively limited track record in the IT Business and Nutraceutical Business, we believe their success will be dependent on the management’s strategy going forward in the areas of brand-name building, margin enhancement, sales network development and continued capital investment in R&D.

Note 1:   The functional currency of the Company is Renminbi (“Rmb”), the lawful currency of the People’s Republic of China. For the convenience of readers, translation of amounts from Rmb into United States Dollars (“US$”) has been made at the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfer in foreign currencies as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York City on June 30, 2006 of Rmb 7.9943 = US$1.00 for the financial position as of December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006. No representation is made that the Rmb amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at that rate or at any other certain rate.
Due to continued losses during the six months ended 30 June 2006, shareholders’ equity deteriorated to US$11.6 million as at 30 June 2006.
It is noted that a large proportion of the Group’s assets of US$13.3 million as at 30 June 2006 consisted of goodwill and intangible asset, which in aggregate amounted to US$9.4 million. Compared with 31 December 2005, cash and cash equivalent have decreased to US$0.9 million as cash was deployed for business expansions. The reduction was also due to repayment to a related party and payments of professional fees. Meanwhile, liabilities have reduced following the aforesaid repayments.
Based on the 11,309,497 Shares in issue as at the date hereof, the net asset value per Share is US$1.03. Excluding the goodwill and intangible asset, the net tangible asset value per Share is US$0.19.
5.   SHARE TRADING HISTORY
The chart below depicts the historical prices of Shares and trading volume since late 2001.

Annex 1
Historically, there have been significant fluctuations in the prices of Shares and trading volume, particularly since year 2005. In 2005, it traded at a high of US$8.80 and a low of US$1.53 per Share. For year 2006 to-date, Shares traded between a large range of US$1.20 and US$14.50 per Share. During the period, the Company has made several public announcements, amongst others:
  (i)   The Company announced on 6 January 2006 that it completed the acquisition of the remaining 49% equity interest in CNT under its Nutraceutical Business;
 
  (ii)   The Company announced on 6 January 2006 its intent on changing its corporate name to China Technology Development Group Corporation;
 
  (iii)   The Company reported on 3 February 2006 that Beijing Holdings has appointed a placing agent to dispose of part of its holding of 1,100,000 Shares at a price of US$2.15 per Share and the reason for the sale was to bring in strategic partners to enhance the Company’s future development;
 
  (iv)   The Company announced on 21 July 2006 that it received a delisting notification from Nasdaq due to failure to file its annual report with the authorities; and
 
  (v)   The Company announced on 22 September 2006 that it has regained compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirement.
The management has confirmed that there are currently no negotiations or agreements relating to intended acquisitions or realisations by the Company and has also confirmed that they are not aware of any matter that is or may be of a market-sensitive nature. We are of the view that the fluctuations in the prices and trading volume of Shares may be due to speculative activities based on the corporate development of the Company as described above.
Having taken into account the Group’s financial performance and position as well as its business prospects, we believe there is no fundamental basis supporting the current price level of approximately US$7.76 per Share as at the date hereof.
6.   PAST FUND RAISING EFFORTS
The Group has made various fund raising efforts in the past year. The Company entered into an agreement with Ivory Capital Asia Pte Ltd in July 2005 for the provision of financial advisory services and to raise a minimum of US$20 million in new capital for the Group.
According to the management, such efforts have however not been successful due to lack of demand for the Shares and Share price volatility.

Annex 1
RECOMMENDATION
In summary,
  (i)   the Group has undergone several business transformation and has been loss-making in the past few financial years;
 
  (ii)   while there is immense market potential, the Group’s current IT Business and Nutraceutical Business are still at development stage and there is no clear signs of a significant turnaround in the Group’s financial performance in the near term. Given the Group’s limited track record, their future successes are dependent on the management’s ability to formulate and execute sound business strategies;
 
  (iii)   the price range of US$2.25 to 2.75 per New Share represents a significant premium to the net asset value and net tangible asset value per Share of US$1.03 and US$0.19 respectively;
 
  (iv)   there has been significant fluctuations in the prices and trading volume of the Shares. There appears no fundamental basis supporting the current high price level of the Shares; and
 
  (v)   the Company’s previous fund raising efforts have not been successful and the price range of US$2.25 to 2.75 per New Share is based on arm’s length negotiations with the placees,
Based on the above and from the point of view of minority shareholders of the Company, we believe the price range of US$2.25 to 2.75 per New Share is a fair and reasonable price. The exercise price of the Warrants of US$5.00 is also fair and reasonable.
Yours faithfully,
For and on behalf of
Altus Capital Limited

The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to give effect to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Exercise Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant.

Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities in response to the Company’s notice given pursuant to this Section 1.2 (a) are herein referred to as “Participating Holders”.

In such event the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Participating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting

- 217 -


Table of Contents

Annex 3
      by a majority in interest of the Participating Holders which underwriters are reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities underwritten (including Registrable Securities), then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Holders (including the Initiating Holders). Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration. The Registrable Securities to be excluded or withdrawn shall be determined in the following sequence: (i) securities held by any persons other than the Holders, including persons having a contractual, incidental “piggy back” right to include such securities in the registration statement, (ii) securities sought to be registered by the Company, and (iii) Registrable Securities held by the Holders.
  (c)   The Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 1.2:
  (i)   in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required under the Act; or
 
  (ii)   after the Company has effected 2 registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2, and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective and remained effective for the period required by section 1.5 (a); or
 
  (iii)   if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.2 a certificate signed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement to be effected at such time as a result of requiring a disclosure that would cause a material adverse affect on any plan or agreement with respect to any financing, acquisition, or other material transaction, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than 120 days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders, provided that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any 12-month period.

Annex 3
  1.3   Piggy Back Registration
  (a)   If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for shareholders other than the Holders) any of its Shares or other securities under the Act (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company share option plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Act), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within 20 days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 2.5, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1.3(c), use all reasonable efforts to cause to be registered under the Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered.
 
  (b)   Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 1.8 hereof.
 
  (c)   Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under this Section 1.3 to include any of the Holders’ securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters) and enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with an underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by shareholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling Holders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling Holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling Holders), but in no event shall the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below twenty percent (20%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the initial public offering of the Company’s securities, in which case the selling Holders may be excluded if the

Annex 3
      underwriters make the determination described above and no other shareholder’s securities are included. For purposes of the preceding parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling shareholder that is a Holder of Registrable Securities and that is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and shareholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all such related entities and individuals.
  1.4   Form F-3 Registration. The Company will be eligible to file a registration statement on Form F-3 once it has made the filing with the SEC of its Annual Report on Form 20-F for fiscal year 2006, assuming such filing is made on a timely basis. At any time after it becomes eligible to file a registration statement on Form F-3, the Holders of Registrable Securities may, subject to certain terms and conditions, require the Company to file a registration statement on Form F-3. In case the Company shall receive from the Holders of Registrable Securities a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form F-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company shall:
  (a)   promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders;
 
  (b)   use all reasonable efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within 15 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company, provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this section 1.4:
  (i)   if Form F-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders;
 
  (ii)   if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an expected aggregate price to the public (net of any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) of less than U.S.$1,000,000;

Annex 3
  (iii)   if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Form F-3 Registration to be effected at such time as a result of requiring a disclosure that would cause a material adverse affect on any plan or agreement with respect to any financing, acquisition, or other material transaction, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form F-3 registration statement for a period of not more than 120 days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 1.4; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve month period;
 
  (iv)   if the Company has, within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected one registration on Form F-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 1.4; or
 
  (v)   in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance;
  (c)   subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall not be counted as requests for registration effected pursuant to Sections 1.2.
  1.5   Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 1 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
  (a)   prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities (and in any event within 60 days in the case of a registration effected pursuant to section 1.2 and within 20 days in the case of a registration effected pursuant to section 1.4) and use all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to 120 days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the Registration Statement has been completed;

  (g)   notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Act or 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 promptly amend or supplement the registration statement to cure such defect;
 
  (h)   provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

  (a)   In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities under the Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and each seller of Registrable Securities, their respective partners, directors and officers, and each other Person, if any, who controls any such Investor or seller within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act (each such Person being referred to herein as a “Covered Person”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Covered Person may be or become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act, any other securities or other law of jurisdiction, common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any registration statement under the Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus included therein, or any related summary, prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse such Covered Person for any legal or any other expenses incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding.

Annex 3
  (c)   Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim of the type referred to in the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.10, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party, give written notice to each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice to such indemnifying party as provided herein shall not relieve such indemnifying party of its obligations under the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.10, except and solely to the extent that such indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, each indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to such an indemnifying party), and after notice from an indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses. If, within a reasonable time after receipt of the notice, such indemnifying party shall not have elected to assume the defense of the action, such indemnifying party shall be responsible for any legal or other expenses incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense of the action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding. No indemnifying party will 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.
 
  (d)   If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.10 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

If requested by the Company and an underwriter of ordinary shares (or other securities) of the Company, a shareholder shall not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any ordinary shares (or other securities) of the Company held by such shareholder (other than those included in the registration) during the 180-day period following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Act, provided that:

In such event the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Participating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting

- 236 -


Table of Contents

Annex 3
      by a majority in interest of the Participating Holders which underwriters are reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities underwritten (including Registrable Securities), then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Holders (including the Initiating Holders). Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration. The Registrable Securities to be excluded or withdrawn shall be determined in the following sequence: (i) securities held by any persons other than the Holders, including persons having a contractual, incidental “piggy back” right to include such securities in the registration statement, (ii) securities sought to be registered by the Company, and (iii) Registrable Securities held by the Holders.
  (c)   The Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 1.2:
  (i)   in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required under the Act; or
 
  (ii)   after the Company has effected 2 registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2, and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective and remained effective for the period required by section 1.5 (a); or
 
  (iii)   if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.2 a certificate signed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement to be effected at such time as a result of requiring a disclosure that would cause a material adverse affect on any plan or agreement with respect to any financing, acquisition, or other material transaction, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than 120 days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders, provided that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any 12-month period.

Annex 3
  1.3   Piggy Back Registration
  (a)   If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for shareholders other than the Holders) any of its Shares or other securities under the Act (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company share option plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Act), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within 20 days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 2.5, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1.3(c), use all reasonable efforts to cause to be registered under the Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered.
 
  (b)   Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 1.8 hereof.
 
  (c)   Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under this Section 1.3 to include any of the Holders’ securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters) and enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with an underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by shareholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling Holders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling Holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling Holders), but in no event shall the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below twenty percent (20%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the initial public offering of the Company’s securities, in which case the selling Holders may be excluded if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other shareholder’s

- 238 -

Annex 3
      securities are included. For purposes of the preceding parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling shareholder that is a Holder of Registrable Securities and that is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and shareholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all such related entities and individuals.
  1.4   Form F-3 Registration. The Company will be eligible to file a registration statement on Form F-3 once it has made the filing with the SEC of its Annual Report on Form 20-F for fiscal year 2006, assuming such filing is made on a timely basis. At any time after it becomes eligible to file a registration statement on Form F-3, the Holders of Registrable Securities may, subject to certain terms and conditions, require the Company to file a registration statement on Form F-3. In case the Company shall receive from the Holders of Registrable Securities a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form F-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company shall:
  (a)   promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders;
 
  (b)   use all reasonable efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within 15 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company, provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this section 1.4:

Annex 3
  (c)   Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim of the type referred to in the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.10, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party, give written notice to each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice to such indemnifying party as provided herein shall not relieve such indemnifying party of its obligations under the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.10, except and solely to the extent that such indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, each indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to such an indemnifying party), and after notice from an indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses. If, within a reasonable time after receipt of the notice, such indemnifying party shall not have elected to assume the defense of the action, such indemnifying party shall be responsible for any legal or other expenses incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense of the action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding. No indemnifying party will 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.
 
  (d)   If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.10 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

  (a)   Subject to the conditions of this Section 1.2, if the Company shall receive at any time after one year after the date of this Agreement a written request from the Holders of at least 500,000 Shares of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (the “Initiating Holders”) that the Company file a registration statement of the entire amount of the Registrable Securities held by the Initiating Holders, then the Company shall, within 20 days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders, and subject to the limitations of this Section 1.2, use all reasonable efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the registration under the Act of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered in a written request received by the Company within 20 days of the mailing of the Company’s notice pursuant to this Section 1.2(a). Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities in response to the Company’s notice given pursuant to this Section 1.2 (a) are herein referred to as “Participating Holders”.
 
  (b)   If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 1.2 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 1.2(a). In such event the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Participating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in

Annex 3
      customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Participating Holders which underwriters are reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities underwritten (including Registrable Securities), then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Holders (including the Initiating Holders). Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration. The Registrable Securities to be excluded or withdrawn shall be determined in the following sequence: (i) securities held by any persons other than the Holders, including persons having a contractual, incidental “piggy back” right to include such securities in the registration statement, (ii) securities sought to be registered by the Company, and (iii) Registrable Securities held by the Holders.
  (c)   The Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 1.2:
  (i)   in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required under the Act; or
 
  (ii)   after the Company has effected 2 registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2, and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective and remained effective for the period required by section 1.5 (a); or
 
  (iii)   if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.2 a certificate signed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement to be effected at such time as a result of requiring a disclosure that would cause a material adverse affect on any plan or agreement with respect to any financing, acquisition, or other material transaction, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than 120 days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders, provided that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any 12-month period.

Annex 3
  1.3   Piggy Back Registration
  (a)   If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for shareholders other than the Holders) any of its Shares or other securities under the Act (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company share option plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Act), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within 20 days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 2.5, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1.3(c), use all reasonable efforts to cause to be registered under the Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered.
 
  (b)   Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 1.8 hereof.
 
  (c)   Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under this Section 1.3 to include any of the Holders’ securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters) and enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with an underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by shareholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling Holders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling Holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling Holders), but in no event shall the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below twenty percent (20%) of the total amount of securities

      included in such offering, unless such offering is the initial public offering of the Company’s securities, in which case the selling Holders may be excluded if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other shareholder’s securities are included. For purposes of the preceding parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling shareholder that is a Holder of Registrable Securities and that is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and shareholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all such related entities and individuals.
  1.4   Form F-3 Registration. The Company will be eligible to file a registration statement on Form F-3 once it has made the filing with the SEC of its Annual Report on Form 20-F for fiscal year 2006, assuming such filing is made on a timely basis. At any time after it becomes eligible to file a registration statement on Form F-3, the Holders of Registrable Securities may, subject to certain terms and conditions, require the Company to file a registration statement on Form F-3. In case the Company shall receive from the Holders of Registrable Securities a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form F-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company shall:
  (a)   promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders;
 
  (b)   use all reasonable efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within 15 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company, provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this section 1.4:
  (i)   if Form F-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders;
 
  (ii)   if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an expected aggregate price to the public (net of any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) of less than U.S.$1,000,000;

  (c)   subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall not be counted as requests for registration effected pursuant to Sections 1.2.

Annex 3
  (c)   Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim of the type referred to in the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.10, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party, give written notice to each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice to such indemnifying party as provided herein shall not relieve such indemnifying party of its obligations under the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.10, except and solely to the extent that such indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, each indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to such an indemnifying party), and after notice from an indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses.

The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

  (h)   The term “SEC” means the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal agency at the time administering the Act.
  1.2   Request for Registration
  (a)   Subject to the conditions of this Section 1.2, if the Company shall receive at any time after one year after the date of this Agreement a written request from the Holders of at least 500,000 Shares of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (the “Initiating Holders”) that the Company file a registration statement under the Act covering the registration of the entire amount of the Registrable Securities held by the Initiating Holders, then the Company shall, within 20 days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders, and subject to the limitations of this Section 1.2, use all reasonable efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the registration under the Act of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered in a written request received by the Company within 20 days of the mailing of the Company’s notice pursuant to this Section 1.2(a). Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities in response to the Company’s notice given pursuant to this Section 1.2 (a) are herein referred to as “Participating Holders”.
 
  (b)   If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 1.2 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 1.2(a). In such event the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the

- 273 -


Table of Contents

Annex 3
      inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Participating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Participating Holders which underwriters are reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities underwritten (including Registrable Securities), then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Holders (including the Initiating Holders). Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration. The Registrable Securities to be excluded or withdrawn shall be determined in the following sequence: (i) securities held by any persons other than the Holders, including persons having a contractual, incidental “piggy back” right to include such securities in the registration statement, (ii) securities sought to be registered by the Company, and (iii) Registrable Securities held by the Holders.
 
  (c)   The Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 1.2:
  (i)   in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required under the Act; or
 
  (ii)   after the Company has effected 2 registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2, and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective and remained effective for the period required by section 1.5 (a); or
 
  (iii)   if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.2 a certificate signed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement to be effected at such time as a result of requiring a disclosure that would cause a material adverse affect on any plan or agreement with respect to any

- 274 -

Annex 3
      financing, acquisition, or other material transaction, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than 120 days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders, provided that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any 12-month period.
  1.3   Piggy Back Registration
  (a)   If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for shareholders other than the Holders) any of its Shares or other securities under the Act (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company share option plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Act), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within 20 days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 2.5, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1.3(c), use all reasonable efforts to cause to be registered under the Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered.
 
  (b)   Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 1.8 hereof.
 
  (c)   Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under this Section 1.3 to include any of the Holders’ securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters) and enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with an underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by shareholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, that the underwriters determine in

- 275 -


Table of Contents

Annex 3
      their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling Holders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling Holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling Holders), but in no event shall the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below twenty percent (20%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the initial public offering of the Company’s securities, in which case the selling Holders may be excluded if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other shareholder’s securities are included. For purposes of the preceding parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling shareholder that is a Holder of Registrable Securities and that is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and shareholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all such related entities and individuals.
  1.4   Form F-3 Registration. We will be eligible to file a registration statement on Form F-3 once we have made the filing with the SEC of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for fiscal year 2006, assuming such filing is made on a timely basis. At any time after we become eligible to file a registration statement on Form F-3, the Holders of Registrable Securities may, subject to certain terms and conditions, require us to file a registration statement on Form F-3. In case the Company shall receive from the Holders of Registrable Securities a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form F-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company shall:
  (a)   promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders;
 
  (b)   use all reasonable efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within 15 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company, provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this section 1.4:
  (i)   if Form F-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders;

- 276 -


Table of Contents

Annex 3
  (ii)   if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an expected aggregate price to the public (net of any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) of less than U.S.$1,000,000;
 
  (iii)   if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Form F-3 Registration to be effected at such time as a result of requiring a disclosure that would cause a material adverse affect on any plan or agreement with respect to any financing, acquisition, or other material transaction, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form F-3 registration statement for a period of not more than 120 days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 1.4; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve month period;
 
  (iv)   if the Company has, within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected one registration on Form F-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 1.4; or
 
  (v)   in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance;
  (c)   subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall not be counted as requests for registration effected pursuant to Sections 1.2.
  1.5   Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 1 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
  (a)   prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities (and in any event within 60 days in the case of a registration effected pursuant to section 1.2 and within 20 days in the case of a registration effected pursuant to section 1.4) and use all reasonable efforts to cause such registration

  (e)   if the Initiating Holders have notified the Company of their desire to register American depositary shares, enter into a depositary agreement in customary form with the depositary selected by the Initiating Holders and enter into any other agreements and execute such documents (including, without limitation, a Registration Statement on Form F-6) as are customarily required to initiate such a “sponsored American Depositary Receipt program”;
 
  (f)   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 of such offering;
 
  (g)   notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Act or 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 promptly amend or supplement the registration statement to cure such defect;

  1.9   Conversion only Upon Consummation of Offering. No Holder shall be required by this Agreement to convert any Registrable Security except at the applicable closing or closings of an underwritten registered offering and except upon the sale of such Registrable Security in the case of other registered offerings.
 
  1.10   Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 1:
  (a)   In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities under the Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and each seller of Registrable Securities, their respective partners, directors and officers, and each other Person, if any, who controls any such Investor or seller within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act (each such Person being referred to herein as a “Covered Person”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Covered Person may be or become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act, any other securities or other law of jurisdiction, common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any registration statement under the Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus included therein, or any related summary, prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse such Covered Person for any legal or any other expenses incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding. The indemnities of the Company contained in this Section 1.10 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Covered Person and shall survive any transfer of Registrable Securities.
 
  (b)   In the event of any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, each selling Holder will, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 1.10 (a) hereof) the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who shall

Annex 3
      sign such registration statement and each other Person (other than such seller), if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, with respect to any statement in or omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus included therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated therein, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information regarding such Holder furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for inclusion therein.
  (c)   Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim of the type referred to in the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.10, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party, give written notice to each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice to such indemnifying party as provided herein shall not relieve such indemnifying party of its obligations under the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.10, except and solely to the extent that such indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, each indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to such an indemnifying party), and after notice from an indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses. If, within a reasonable time after receipt of the notice, such indemnifying party shall not have elected to assume the defense of the action, such indemnifying party shall be responsible for any legal or other expenses incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense of the action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding. No indemnifying party will 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.
 
  (d)   If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.10 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative

Table of Contents

Annex 3
      fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
  (e)   The liability of each Holder in respect of any indemnification or contribution obligation of such holder arising under this Section 1.10 shall not in any event exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Holder (after deduction of all underwriters’ discounts and commissions and all other expenses paid by such Holder in connection with the registration in question) from the disposition of the Registrable Securities disposed of by such Holder pursuant to such registration.
 
  (f)   The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 1.10 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 1, and otherwise.
  1.11   Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form F-3, the Company agrees to:

  (ii)   We are an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(3) under the Securities Act. We have such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters and we are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing the Placing Sale Shares; we have evaluated such merits and risks and have determined that we are able to bear the economic risk of an investment in purchasing the Placing Sale Shares for an indefinite period of time, in view of the restrictions set out in Schedule 2 of the Placing Agency Agreement.
 
  (iii)   We are acquiring the Placing Sale Shares solely for investment purposes, for our own account and not for the account or benefit of any other person, including any U.S. person, and not with a view or intent to the distribution or transfer thereof. We have not entered into, and there does not exist any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any other party for the sale, resale, pledge, transfer or assignment of all or any of the Placing Sale Shares to be purchased by us or any interest therein, including without limitation any such agreement, arrangement or understanding relating to any trust, any option to sell or purchase or any equity swap or similar hedging arrangement pursuant which the economic benefits and obligations of ownership of the Placing Sale Shares may be transferred to any other party.
 
  (iv)   We acknowledge that in making the decision to purchase the Placing Sale Shares, we have relied upon our independent investigation of the Vendors and the Issuer and their affairs, and have not relied upon any information or representations made by any third party or upon any oral or written representations or assurances from the Vendors and/or the Issuer, their officers, directors or employees or any other representatives or agents of the Vendors and/or the Issuer. We are familiar with the business, operations, properties, financial condition and prospects of the Issuer, have reviewed the Issuer’s publicly-available information filed with and submitted to the SEC, and have had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Vendors and/or the Issuer’s officers and directors concerning the Vendors and/or Issuer, their affairs and the terms and conditions of the issue and sale of the Placing Sale Shares.

  (ix)   We understand that the Placing Sale Shares are being sold in a transaction not involving any public offering in the United States in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Regulation S, and that the Placing Sale Shares are being sold in a transaction that has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act. Accordingly, for a period of 40 days commencing on the date of the Completion of the Placing (“distribution compliance period”), we will not offer, sell or otherwise transfer any Placing Sale Shares in the United States or to or for the account or benefit of any U.S. persons, or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any U.S. persons for the sale, resale, pledge, transfer or assignment of all or any of the Placing Sale Shares acquired by us, including without limitation any such agreement, arrangement or understanding relating to any trust, any option to sell or purchase or any equity swap or similar hedging arrangement pursuant to which the economic benefits and obligations of ownership of the Placing Sale Shares may be transferred to any U.S. person.

Upon application at the end of the distribution compliance period and provided that certain conditions for the removal of the legend are met, the transfer agent shall issue new share certificates representing the Placing Sale Shares that do not bear the foregoing legend.
 
  (xi)   We agree to promptly notify any purchaser or transferee of Placing Sale Shares to whom we sell or transfer any Placing Sale Shares during the distribution compliance period of the restrictions on transfer set out therein, and obtain from such purchaser or transferee acknowledgements, representations, warranties, confirmations and agreements to the same effect as set out herein.
