3. Agreements to Sell and Purchase.

(a) On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, each Selling Shareholder hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to sell to the several Underwriters, and each Underwriter, on the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, agrees severally and not jointly, to purchase from such Selling Shareholder at $13.405 a share (the “Purchase Price”), the number of Firm Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Underwriters may determine) that bears the same proportion to the number of Firm Shares to be sold by such Selling Shareholder (as set forth opposite such Selling Shareholder’s name on Schedule I hereto) as the number of Firm Shares to be purchased by such Underwriter (as set forth in the second paragraph of this Agreement) bears to the total number of Firm Shares.

(b) On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, each Selling Shareholder named in Schedule I hereto hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to sell to the Underwriters the number of Additional Shares set forth opposite such Selling Shareholder’s name on Schedule I hereto, and the

 

15


Underwriters shall have the right to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to 570,000 Additional Shares at the Purchase Price, provided, however, that the amount paid by the Underwriters for any Additional Shares shall be reduced by an amount per share equal to any dividends declared by the Company and payable on the Firm Shares but not payable on such Additional Shares. The Underwriters may exercise this right in whole or from time to time in part by giving written notice of each election to exercise the option not later than 30 days after the date of this Agreement. Any exercise notice shall specify the number of Additional Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters and the date on which such shares are to be purchased. Each purchase date must be at least two business days after the written notice is given and may not be earlier than the closing date for the Firm Shares nor later than ten business days after the date of such notice. Additional Shares may be purchased as provided in Section 5 hereof solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments made in connection with the offering of the Firm Shares. On each day, if any, that Additional Shares are to be purchased (an “Option Closing Date”), each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of Additional Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Underwriters may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Additional Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date as the number of Firm Shares to be purchased by such Underwriter (as set forth in the second paragraph of this Agreement) bears to the total number of Firm Shares. On each Option Closing Date, the number of Additional Shares to be purchased from each Selling Shareholder by the Underwriters shall equal the number of Additional Shares to be purchased from the Selling Shareholders collectively multiplied by the fraction obtained by dividing the number of Additional Shares to be sold by such Selling Shareholder, as indicated on Schedule I hereto, by the total number of Additional Shares, as indicated on Schedule I hereto (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Underwriters may determine).

(c) The Company hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, it will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 75 days after the date of the Prospectus, (A) file any registration statement with the Commission relating to the offering of any Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares, (B) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares, or (C) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Ordinary Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (B) or (C) above is to be settled by delivery of Ordinary Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) the Shares to be sold hereunder, (b) the issuance by the Company of Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of an option or warrant or the conversion of a security outstanding on the Closing Date and disclosed in the Time of Sale Prospectus, (c) the filing of a registration statement on Form S-8, (d) the sale of Ordinary Shares to the Underwriters, or (e) the issuance by the Company of stock options, restricted stock or similar equity awards pursuant to equity plans described in the Prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) during the last 17 days of the 75 day restricted period the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs; or (2) prior to the expiration of the 75 day restricted period, the Company announces that it will

 

16


release earnings results during the 16 day period beginning on the last day of the restricted period; the restrictions imposed by this Agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18 day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event unless the Underwriters waive, in writing, such extension. The Company shall promptly notify the Underwriters of any earnings release, news or event that may give rise to an extension of the initial 75 day restricted period.

4. Terms of Public Offering. The Company and the Sellers are advised by the Underwriters that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of each Seller’s Shares as soon after the Registration Statement and this Agreement have become effective as in the judgment of the Underwriters and the Company is advisable. The Company and the Sellers are further advised by the Underwriters that the Shares are to be offered to the public initially at $14.00 per share (the “Public Offering Price”) and to certain dealers selected by the Underwriters at a price that represents a concession not in excess of $0.357 per share under the Public Offering Price.

5. Payment and Delivery.

(a) Payment for the Firm Shares to be sold by each Seller shall be made to such Seller in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City against delivery of such Firm Shares for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on March 20, 2013, or at such other time on the same or such other date, not later than the fifth business day thereafter, as may be designated in writing by the Underwriters. The time and date of such payment are hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.”

(b) Payment for any Additional Shares to be sold by the Sellers named in Schedule I hereto shall be made to such Seller in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City against delivery of such Additional Shares for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on an Option Closing Date or at such other time on the same or on such other date, in any event not later than ten business days after your option to purchase Additional Shares expires, as shall be designated in writing by the Underwriters.

(c) The Firm Shares and Additional Shares shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as the Underwriters shall request in writing not later than one full business day prior to the Closing Date or the applicable Option Closing Date, as the case may be.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material

(b) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Shareholder, each person, if any, who controls any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433) not constituting an issuer free writing prospectus, or caused by 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, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter or Selling Shareholder furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter or such Selling Shareholder expressly for use therein.

(c) Each Selling Shareholder listed in Schedule I agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the Company, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter or the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any Underwriter or the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433) not constituting an issuer free writing prospectus, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act, or the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only with reference to information relating to such Selling

 

23


Shareholder listed in Schedule I furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Selling Shareholder listed in Schedule I expressly for use therein, provided, however, that with respect to any amount due an indemnified person under this paragraph (c), each Selling Shareholder listed in Schedule I shall be liable only to the extent of the net proceeds received by such Selling Shareholder from the sale of such Selling Shareholder’s Shares.

(d) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Selling Shareholders, the directors of the Company, the officers of the Company who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act, or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433) not constituting an issuer free writing prospectus, or caused by 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, but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, the Prospectus, any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433) not constituting an issuer free writing prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.

(e) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 11(a), 11(b), 11(c) or 11(d) such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party 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 party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (i) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Underwriters and all persons, if any, who control any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or who are affiliates of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities

 

24


Act, (ii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either such Section and (iii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Selling Shareholders and all persons, if any, who control any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either such Section, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the Underwriters and such control persons and affiliates of any Underwriters, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriters. In the case of any such separate firm for the Company, and such directors, officers and control persons of the Company, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Company. In the case of any such separate firm for the Selling Shareholders and such control persons of any Selling Shareholders, such firm shall be designated in writing by the mutual agreement of the Selling Shareholders. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party 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 party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(f) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 11(a), 11(b), 11(c) or 11(d) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 11(e)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 11(e)(i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Sellers and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the

 

25


Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company, each Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, such Selling Shareholder or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 11 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint. The liability of each Selling Shareholder under the contribution agreement contained in this paragraph shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by such Selling Shareholder from the sale of the Shares sold by such Selling Shareholder under this Agreement less any other amounts paid pursuant to Section 11 by such Selling Shareholder.

(g) The Company, each Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 11 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 11(f). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 11(f) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 11 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(h) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 11 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Underwriters, Company and the Selling Shareholders contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter, any Selling Shareholder or any person controlling any Selling Shareholder, or the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.

12. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given to the Company and the Selling Shareholders, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, the NASDAQ Global Market, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall

 

26


have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States or the Cayman Islands shall have occurred, (iv) the enactment, publication, decree or other promulgation of any statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or other governmental authority which in your opinion materially and adversely affects the business or operations of the Company, (v) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal, New York State or Thai authorities, (vi) the taking of any action by any governmental body or agency in respect of its monetary or fiscal affairs which in the opinion of the Underwriters has a material adverse effect on the securities markets in United States or (vii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets, currency exchange rates or controls or any calamity or crisis (including, without limitation, acts of terrorism) that, in the judgment of the Underwriters, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (vii), makes it, in the judgment of the Underwriters, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, Time of Sale Prospectus or Prospectus.

13. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

14. Submission to Jurisdiction; Appointment of Agent for Service. (a) Each of the Sellers and the Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or United States Federal court sitting in The City of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus or the Registration Statement. The Company and each Selling Shareholder irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. To the extent that any Seller or the Company has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise) from the jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, each of the Sellers and the Company irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such immunity in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding.

(b) The Company and the Selling Shareholders hereby irrevocably appoint the entity listed next to their names in Schedule III hereto as their respective agents for service of process in any suit, action or proceeding described in the preceding paragraph and agrees that service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be made upon it at the office of such agent. Each of the Company and the Selling Shareholders waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any other requirements of or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto. Each of the Company and the Selling Shareholders represents and warrants that such agent has agreed to act as its agent for service of process, and each of the Company and the Selling Shareholders agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments and the paying of its own fees an expenses, that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect for a period of five (5) years from the date of this Agreement.

 

27


15. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than United States dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Underwriters could purchase United States dollars with such other currency in The City of New York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each of the Sellers and the Company with respect to any sum due from it to any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first business day following receipt by such Underwriter or controlling person of any sum in such other currency, and only to the extent that such Underwriter or controlling person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency. If the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Underwriter or controlling person hereunder, each of the Sellers and the Company agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Underwriter or controlling person against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Underwriter or controlling person hereunder, such Underwriter or controlling person agrees to pay to the Company or such Selling Shareholder, as applicable, an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to such Underwriter or controlling person hereunder.

16. Foreign Taxes. All payments made by the Company and each Selling Shareholder under this Agreement, if any, are exclusive of value added tax, goods and service tax and/or other taxes and will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any taxing authority of any jurisdiction unless the Company or such Selling Shareholder is or becomes required by law to withhold or deduct such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges. In such event, the Company or such Selling Shareholder, severally and not jointly, will pay such additional amounts as will result, after such withholding or deduction, in the receipt by each Underwriter and each person controlling any Underwriter, as the case may be, of the amounts that would otherwise have been receivable in respect thereof, except to the extent such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges are imposed or levied by reason of (i) taxes that would not have been imposed but for such Underwriter’s having been a resident of the jurisdiction imposing such taxes or being or having been present or engaged in a trade or business therein (other than with respect to the receipt of payments under this Agreement) or having had a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the failure of such Underwriter to comply with a request for information which is required by the jurisdiction imposing such taxes as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such taxes.

17. Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Shares, represents the entire agreement between the Company, Selling Shareholders and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Shares.

 

28


(b) The Company and each of the Selling Shareholders acknowledge that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arms length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company, the Selling Shareholders or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company and the Selling Shareholders only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company and the Selling Shareholders. The Company and each of the Selling Shareholders waive to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims they may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Shares.

18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

19. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

20. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

21. Notices. All statements, requests, notices and agreements shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered, mailed or sent to the Underwriters in care of (i) Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, 1585 Broadway, New York, NY 10036, Attention: Equity Capital Markets Syndicate Desk, with a copy to the Legal Department and (ii) Morgan Stanley & Co.

Muhl; and if to any of the Selling Shareholders, shall be delivered, mailed or sent to the address, telephone or fax number set forth opposite the name of such Selling Shareholder in Schedule IV attached hereto.

22. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Underwriters, each Selling Shareholder and the Company and their successors and assigns and any successor or assign of any substantial portion of the Company’s, such Selling Shareholder’s and any of the Underwriters’ respective businesses and/or assets. This Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof are for the sole benefit of only those persons, except that (a) the indemnities of the Company and each Selling Shareholder contained in this Agreement shall also be deemed to be for the benefit of the directors, officers and employees of the Underwriters and each person or persons, if any, who control any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and (b) the indemnity agreement of the Underwriters contained in Section 11(c) of this Agreement shall be deemed to be for the benefit of the directors of the Company, the officers of the Company who have signed the Registration Statement and any person controlling the Company or any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, other than the persons referred to in this Section 22, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein.

LOCK-UP LETTER

            , 2013

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC

1585 Broadway

New York, NY 10036

Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc

25 Cabot Square, Canary Wharf

London E14 4QA

United Kingdom

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (the “U.S. Underwriter”), and Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc (the “International Underwriter,” and, together with the U.S. Underwriter, the “Underwriters”), propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Fabrinet, an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), the undersigned and the selling shareholders to be named therein (the “Selling Shareholders”), providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the several Underwriters of a certain number of ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”).

To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, the undersigned will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 75 days after the date of the final prospectus (the “Restricted Period”) relating to the Public Offering (the “Prospectus”), (1) file any registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the offering of any Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares, (2) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares, or (3) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Ordinary Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (2) or (3) above is to be settled by delivery of Ordinary Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) transactions relating to Ordinary Shares

 

A-1


or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of Ordinary Shares or other securities acquired in such open market transactions, (b) transfers of Ordinary Shares or any security convertible into Ordinary Shares as a bona fide gift or by will or intestacy, (c) distributions of Ordinary Shares or any security convertible into Ordinary Shares to any partner, member, shareholder or subsidiary of the undersigned, (d) the Ordinary Shares to be sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement or (e) transfers to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned or a charitable organization; provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (b), (c) or (e), (i) each donee, distributee or transferee shall sign and deliver to the Underwriters a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter-and (ii) no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the restricted period. For the purposes of this Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption that is not more remote than first cousin. In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, it will not, during the restricted period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Ordinary Shares or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s Ordinary Shares unless such transfer is in compliance with the foregoing.

If:
