The Purchaser is not acquiring the Notes or the Conversion Shares for the account or benefit of any U.S. persons except in accordance with exemption from registration requirements of the Act below or in a transaction not subject thereto.

(b) The Purchaser is acquiring the Notes and, upon conversion of the Notes, the Conversion Shares, for its own account and is not acquiring the Notes or the Conversion Shares with a view to any distribution thereof that would violate the Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction.

(c) The Purchaser represents that it understands that the Notes and/or Conversion Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S) within 40 days following the date the Notes are issued to the Purchaser by the Company and that the Notes and/or Conversion Shares shall bear a restrictive legend (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such Notes and/or Conversion Shares) unless such Note and/or the Conversion Shares are sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Act (and which continues to be effective at the time of such transfer) or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act or any similar provision then in effect.

(d) The Purchaser (A) agrees that it will not, offer, sell, assign or otherwise transfer any of the Notes and/or the Conversion Shares on its own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which it has purchased the Notes and/or the Conversion Shares (i) in the absence of (1) an effective registration statement for the Securities under the Act and applicable state securities laws, (2) in an offshore transaction meeting the requirements of Regulation S or (3) an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, that registration is not required under the Act and applicable state securities laws or (ii) unless sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act; provided, however, in each case, the Notes and Conversion Shares may not be offered or sold within the United States or to any U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S) within 40 days following the date the Notes are issued to the Purchaser by the Company, and (B) agrees that it will give to each person to whom such Security is transferred (other than a transfer pursuant to clause (A)(i)(1) or (A)(ii)) a notice substantially to the effect of this Section 8(d).

(e) The Purchaser acknowledges that the Notes and the Conversion Shares are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the Act.

(f) No form of “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S), general solicitation or general advertising in violation of the Act has been or will be used nor will any offers by means of any directed selling efforts in the United States be made by the Purchaser or any of its representatives in connection with the offer and sale of any of the Notes and/or the Conversion Shares.

(g) The Notes and/or the Conversion Shares to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. The Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the Notes or the Conversion Shares.

	(i)		actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of the Group Companies or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents in breach or violation of their respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in the Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or

	(ii)		any breach by any of the Group Companies or their respective Affiliates of any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in any Transaction Document,

and, subject to the provisions, hereof will reimburse the Indemnified Parties for all reasonable expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) as they are incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, defending or settling any such action or claim, whether or not in connection with litigation in which any Indemnified Party is a named party. If any of the Indemnified Parties’ personnel appears as witnesses, are deposed or are otherwise involved in the defense of any action against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Parties will reimburse the Purchaser for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Purchaser by reason of any of the Indemnified Parties being involved in any such action.

(b) As promptly as reasonably practical after receipt by an Indemnified Party under this Section 10 of notice of the commencement of any action for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 10, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnified Party under this Section 10, notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof in writing; but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party (i) will not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability under paragraph (a) above unless and only to the extent it is materially prejudiced as a result thereof and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligations to any Indemnified Party otherwise than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) above. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party, and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may determine, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party) at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the

Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall authorize the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, then, in each such case, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party or parties and such Indemnified Party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel (including local counsel) to defend such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party or parties at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such Indemnified Party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 10 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, unless the Indemnified Party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that in connection with such action the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) in any one action or separate but substantially similar actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, representing the Indemnified Party who are parties to such action or actions). The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

(c) The indemnity and expense reimbursement obligations set forth herein (i) shall be in addition to any liability any of the Group Companies, the Major Shareholder or the Chairman may otherwise have to any Indemnified Party, (ii) shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any other Indemnified Party and (iii) shall be binding on any successor or assign of the Group Companies or their respective business and assets.

11. Termination.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time before the Initial Closing Date, by mutual written agreement of the Company and the Purchaser.

(b) The Purchaser may terminate this Agreement at any time by written notice to the Company if any of the following has occurred:

(i) since the date hereof, any Material Adverse Change or any development involving or reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect that would, in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, be so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in this Agreement and the Indenture;

(ii) the failure of any of the Company to satisfy the conditions contained in Section 9 on or prior to January 16, 2009 (in the case of the Initial Closing), or if any of the conditions contained in Section 9 shall have become incapable of fulfillment and Purchaser shall have not waived such condition;

(iii) the enactment, publication, decree or other promulgation after the date hereof of any Applicable Law that could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(iv) suspension of trading in the Company Common Stock by the Trading Market or the suspension or limitation of trading generally in securities on the Trading Market, the London Stock Exchange, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Capital Market or the NASDAQ Global Market or any setting of limitations on prices for securities on any such exchange or the NASDAQ Capital Market or the NASDAQ Global Market; or

(v) the declaration of a banking moratorium by any federal or New York state Governmental Authority; or the taking of any action by any Governmental Authority after the date hereof in respect of its monetary or fiscal affairs that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial markets in the United States, European Union, the Peoples’ Republic of China or Hong Kong.

(c) If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b), this Agreement shall become null and void, and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of the Company or the Purchaser (or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or other representatives or affiliates) under this Agreement or in the connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except that (i) such termination shall not relieve any breaching party from liability hereunder from willful breach of any representation or warranty or covenant contained herein or in any Transaction Document, (ii) the Company shall in all cases be responsible for fees and expenses in accordance with Section 7(b) and (iii) any termination after the Initial Closing Date shall only impact the obligation of the Purchaser to purchase or the Company to sell Second Tranche Notes and all other provisions shall remain in effect.

12. Survival of Representations and Indemnities. The representations and warranties, covenants, indemnities and contribution and expense reimbursement provisions and other agreements of any of the Group Companies set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, and will survive until the full and final satisfaction and discharge of the Notes Obligations, regardless of (i) any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the parties hereto, and (ii) acceptance of the Notes, and payment for them hereunder.

13. Substitution of Purchaser. The Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both the Purchaser and such Affiliate, shall contain such Affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 8; provided that such Affiliate is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by Trustbridge Partners Limited. Upon receipt of such notice, wherever the word “Purchaser” is used in this Agreement (other than in this Section 13), such word shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of the original Purchaser. In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as a purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to the original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, wherever the word “Purchaser” is used in this Agreement (other than in this Section 13), such word shall no longer be

deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to the original Purchaser, and the original Purchaser shall have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

14. Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Company and the Purchaser agrees to use its best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable Laws and regulations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, in each case on or before January 16, 2009.
