In addition to the indemnity provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents and investment advisers (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners, employees, agents and investment advisers (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling person (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Indemnified Person may suffer or incur as a result of (i) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made

by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents, provided that, with respect to a Purchaser and its related Indemnified Persons, the Company’s maximum liability hereunder shall not exceed an amount equal to the Subscription Amount received by it from such Purchaser, or (ii) any action instituted against an Indemnified Person in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company or other third party who is not an Affiliate of such Indemnified Person, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company will not be liable to any Indemnified Person under this Agreement to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is directly attributable to any Indemnified Person’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Indemnified Person in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.

(b) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any Indemnified Person of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any Proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.8(a), such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is actually and materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure to notify (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, which determination is not subject to appeal or further review). In any such Proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in such Proceeding; or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such Proceeding.

4.9 Listing of ADSs. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to list the ADSs representing the Shares for quotation on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. The Company has no present intention of delisting the ADSs from the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

4.10 Certain Transactions. The Company will not merge or consolidate into, or sell, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its property or assets to, any other party unless the successor, transferee or lessee party, as the case may be (if not the Company), assumes the due and punctual performance and observance of each and every covenant and condition of this Agreement to be performed and observed by the Company.

4.11 Interim Conduct. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Controlled Entities to (i) carry on its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice, (ii) not make any distribution (whether in cash, stock, property or assets) or declare, pay or set aside any dividend with respect to, or split, combine, redeem, reclassify, purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of its capital stock and (iii) not take any action that would make any representation or warranty of the Company in this Agreement, or omit to take any action necessary to prevent any representation or warranty of the Company under this Agreement from being, inaccurate at, or as of any time before, the Closing Date.

4.12 Use of Proceeds. The Company may use the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder to repurchase up to (but no more than) $35.0 million of outstanding Ordinary Shares (whether in the form of ADSs or otherwise) so long as (i) the effective price per Ordinary Share paid by the Company in

any such repurchase does not exceed the Per Share Purchase Price and (ii) the effective price per ADS paid by the Company in any such repurchase does not exceed the Per ADS Purchase Price.

4.13 Preemptive Rights.

(a) If, at any time during a period of twelve (12) months commencing on the Closing Date, the Company offers to sell Covered Securities (as defined below) in a public or private offering of Covered Securities for cash (a “Qualified Offering”), each Purchaser shall be afforded the opportunity to acquire from the Company, for the same price and on the same terms as such Covered Securities are offered, in the aggregate up to the amount of Covered Securities required to enable it to maintain its Qualified Purchaser Percentage Interest (measured immediately prior to such offering). “Qualified Purchaser Percentage Interest” means, as of any date of determination, the percentage equal to (i) the number of Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement and then held by such Purchaser (directly or indirectly) as of the date of determination, divided by (ii) the total number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as of such date. “Covered Securities” means Ordinary Shares and any rights, options or warrants to purchase or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or representing, Ordinary Shares, including without limitation ADSs, other than securities that are (A) issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of any securities of the Company issued and outstanding as of the date hereof; (B) issued or issuable by the Company pursuant to any employment contract, employee incentive or benefit plan, stock purchase plan, stock ownership plan, stock option or equity compensation plan or other similar plan approved by the Company’s board of directors where stock is being issued or offered to a trust, other entity to or for the benefit of any employees, consultants, officers or directors of the Company; or (C) issued or issuable in connection with the acquisition of another company or business approved by the Company’s board of directors, or to an entity as component of any business relationship with such entity for business reasons other than raising capital, as approved by the Company’s board of directors.

(b) Prior to the closing of any Qualified Offering of Covered Securities, the Company shall give each Purchaser written notice of its intention to make such an offering, describing, to the extent then known (it being understood and agreed that price may not be known in a public offering), the anticipated amount of securities and other material terms then known to the Company upon which the Company proposes to offer the same (such notice, a “Qualified Offering Notice”). The Company shall be only obligated to deliver such notice only to the individuals identified according to the addresses identified on such Purchaser’s signature page hereto, and shall not communicate the information to anyone else acting on behalf of the Purchaser without the consent of one of the designated individuals. Each Purchaser shall then have 5 days (but at least 3 Business Days) after receipt of the Qualified Offering Notice (the “Offer Period”) to notify the Company in writing that it intends to exercise such preemptive right and as to the amount of Covered Securities the Purchaser desires to purchase, up to the maximum amount calculated pursuant to Section 4.13(a) (the “Designated Securities”); provided, however, that if the price (or range of prices) is not included in the Qualified Offering Notice, then such Purchaser’s notice of its intention to exercise its preemptive right may be conditioned on price. Such notice constitutes an irrevocable agreement of such Purchaser to purchase the amount of Designated Securities specified by such Purchaser (or a proportionately lesser amount if the amount of Covered Securities to be offered in such Qualified Offering is subsequently reduced) at the price (or range of prices) established in the Qualified Offering and other terms set forth in the Company’s notice to it, subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, provided that the Qualified Offering is consummated as described. The failure to respond during the Offer Period constitutes a waiver of such Purchaser’s preemptive right in respect of such offering. The sale of the Covered Securities in the Qualified Offering, including any Designated Securities, shall be closed not later than 30 days after the end of the Offer Period. The Covered Securities to be sold to other investors in such Qualified Offering shall be sold at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to such other investors than, those specified in the Qualified Offering Notice. If the Company does not consummate the sale of Covered Securities to other investors within such 30-day period, the right provided hereunder shall be revived and such securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Purchasers in accordance herewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein and unless otherwise agreed by the Purchasers, by not later than the end of such 30-day period, the Company shall either confirm in writing to

the Purchasers that the Qualified Offering has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the Covered Securities in the Qualified Offering, in either case in such a manner that the Purchasers will not be in possession of any material, non-public information thereafter.

(c) If a Purchaser exercises its preemptive right provided in this Section 4.13 with respect to a Qualified Offering, the Company shall offer and sell such Purchaser, if any such offering is consummated, the Designated Securities (as adjusted, upward to reflect the actual size of such offering when priced) at the same price as the Covered Securities are offered to third persons (not including the underwriters or the initial purchasers in a Rule 144A offering that is being reoffered by the initial purchasers) in such offering and shall provide written notice of such price upon the determination of such price, and the Company will offer and sell the Designated Securities to each Purchaser upon terms and conditions not less favorable than the most favorable terms and conditions offered to other persons or entities in such Qualified Offering.

6.2 Entire Agreement.

or such other address as may be designated in writing hereafter, in the same manner, by such Person.

6.4 Amendments; Waivers; No Additional Consideration. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective with respect to any party unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of such party. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Purchaser to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any Transaction Document unless the same consideration is also offered to all Purchasers who then hold Securities.

6.5 Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. This Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.

6.6 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by the Company without the prior written consent of the Purchasers. Any Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder in whole or in part to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities in compliance with the Transaction Documents and applicable law, provided such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the terms and conditions of this Agreement that apply to the “Purchasers”.

6.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, other than the Indemnified Persons.

6.8 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

6.9 Survival. Subject to applicable statute of limitations, the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.

6.10 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.

6.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

6.12 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its Depositary of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Depositary for any losses in connection therewith or, if required by the Depositary, a bond in such form and amount as is required by the Depositary. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement certificate or instrument. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.

6.13 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation (other than in connection with any action for a temporary restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

6.14 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any Controlled Entity which may have been made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser and none of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Purchaser (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a

presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.

6.15 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the sale and purchase of the Securities abandoned at any time prior to the Closing by either the Company or any Purchaser (with respect to itself only) upon written notice to the other, if the Closing has not been consummated on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.15 shall not be available to any Person whose failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such time. Nothing in this Section 6.15 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

6.16 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

6.17 Adjustments in Ordinary Share Numbers and Prices. In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in Ordinary Shares (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly Ordinary Shares), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, each reference in any Transaction Document to a number of shares or a price per share shall be deemed to be amended to appropriately account for such event.
