  (b)   The Contingent Rights Per Share Value shall only be paid with respect to a sale by a Bridge Noteholder or Scheme Shareholder, as applicable, of a share of Purchaser Common Stock issued pursuant to this Scheme taking place on the Nasdaq Stock Market (or any other exchange on which Purchaser hereafter lists) during the Contingent Rights Payment Period.
 
  (c)   Subject to Clause 7(b), within ten (10) Business Days of the date a Bridge Noteholder or Scheme Shareholder, as applicable, sells any shares of Purchaser Common Stock issued to him, her or it pursuant to this Scheme, such Bridge Noteholder or Scheme Shareholder, as applicable, must deliver to Purchaser a notice of sale in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Sale Notice”). If the Sale Notice is not delivered within such ten (10) Business Days period, the Contingent Rights associated with the sold shares of Purchaser Common Stock shall be void and no amounts will be due under this Clause 7 to such Bridge Noteholder or Scheme Shareholder, as applicable, in respect of his, her or its sold shares of Purchaser Common Stock.
 
  (d)   Subject to Clause 7(b), within ten (10) Business Days of Purchaser’s receipt of a Sale Notice, Purchaser shall remit to the Bridge Noteholder or Scheme Shareholder, as applicable, that submitted such Sale Notice a cash amount equal to the product of (A) the Contingent Rights Per Share Value multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock that are the subject of such Sale Notice.
 
  (e)   In no event shall any Contingent Right be transferrable or exercisable by anyone other than the Bridge Noteholder or Scheme Shareholder, as applicable, to which the underlying share of Purchaser Common Stock was initially issued pursuant to this Scheme as set forth herein.
 
  (f)   Under no circumstances shall Purchaser be required to pay to the Bridge Noteholders and Scheme Shareholders in respect of their Contingent Rights more than the Contingent Rights Maximum Aggregate Value.
PART III
GENERAL
8.   [The Effective Time] Parts I and II of this Scheme shall become effective at [*], United States Pacific Time on [*], 2010 or such earlier or later date and time as the Company and Purchaser shall agree in writing, provided that at or by that time all of the following conditions are satisfied:
  (a)   this Scheme is approved by the affirmative vote at each Scheme Meeting of a majority in number of the Scheme Shareholders representing 75% or more in value of the Scheme Shares present and voting in person or by proxy on the resolution to approve this Scheme;
 
  (b)   the requisite court order sanctioning this Scheme is obtained from the Cayman Court;
 
  (c)   a copy of the Sanction Order of the Cayman Court is lodged with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies;

9.   [Mandates, etc] All mandates or other instructions to the Company in force at the Effective Time relating to any of the Scheme Shares (including, without limitation, elections for the payment of dividends by way of scrip (if any)) shall, mutatis mutandis immediately after the Effective Time, be deemed to be valid as effective mandates or instructions in respect of shares of Purchaser Common Stock received in consideration of the transfer of such Scheme Shares; provided, however, that nothing in this Scheme shall in any way affect the right (if any) of a shareholder of the Company to receive any dividend declared by the Company prior to the Effective Time but which has not been paid prior to the Effective Time.

10.   [Amendments] Subject to any applicable U.S. securities laws and written approval by Purchaser, this Scheme may be amended, modified or supplemented at any time before or after its approval by the shareholders of the Company at the Scheme Meetings. At the Cayman Court hearing to sanction this Scheme, the Cayman Court may impose such conditions, modifications and amendments as it deems appropriate in relation to this Scheme but will not impose any material changes without the joint consent of the Company and Purchaser. Purchaser and the Company may, subject to any applicable U.S. securities laws, consent to any condition, modification or amendment of this Scheme on behalf of the Scheme Shareholders which the Company may think fit to approve or impose. After its approval, no amendment, modification or supplement may be made or effected that legally requires further approval by shareholders or any class of shareholders of the Company without obtaining that approval.
 
11.   [Termination] The Company or Purchaser may terminate or abandon this Scheme at any time prior to the Effective Time without obtaining the approval of the Scheme Shareholders, even though this Scheme may have been approved at the Scheme Meetings and sanctioned by the Cayman Court and all other conditions may have been satisfied, provided such termination is consistent with and not in breach of the Arrangement Agreement.
 
12.   [Prohibited Proceedings] None of the Scheme Shareholders shall commence a Prohibited Proceeding in respect of or arising from this Scheme after the Effective Time. A Scheme Shareholder may commence an Allowed Proceeding against the Company or Purchaser after the Effective Time provided that it has first given the Company and Purchaser five clear Business Days’ prior notice in writing of its intention to do so.
 
13.   [Savings Clause] The maximum amount issuable hereunder shall equal the Aggregate Acquisition Consideration Value. If for any reason the calculations herein yield an aggregate amount of consideration in excess of the Aggregate Acquisition Consideration Value, the Company and the Purchaser shall mutually agree to adjust such calculations as necessary.
