Section 2.01. The Merger. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the Cayman Islands Companies Law Cap. 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) (the “Cayman Companies Law”), at the Effective Time, Merger Subsidiary will be merged with and into the Company and the separate existence of Merger Subsidiary shall thereupon cease (the “Merger”). The Company shall continue its existence under the Cayman Companies Law as the surviving company (within the meaning of the Cayman Companies Law) in the Merger (the “Surviving Company”) and shall succeed to and assume all the undertakings, property, assets, rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of Merger Subsidiary and the Company in accordance with the Cayman Companies Law. The Surviving Company shall be liable for and subject, in the same manner as Merger Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time, to all credit agreements, mortgages, charges or security interests and all contracts, obligations, claims, debts and liabilities of Merger Subsidiary.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Article 9, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of O’Melveny & Myers, Plaza 66, Tower 1, 37th Floor, 1266 Nanjing Road West, Shanghai 200040, People’s Republic of China at 10:00 a.m. Shanghai time, as soon as possible, but in any event no later than seven (7) Business Days after the date the conditions set forth in Article 9 (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver of those conditions at the Closing) have been satisfied or, to the extent permissible, waived by the party or parties entitled to the benefit of such conditions; provided, however, that after the date that is two (2) Business Days after the date the conditions set forth in Article 9 (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver of those conditions at the Closing) have been satisfied or, to the extent permissible, waived by the party or parties entitled to the benefit of such conditions, neither Parent, Parent Assignee nor Merger Subsidiary shall have any right to terminate, and shall not terminate, this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof (including Article 10) or otherwise, or have any right to claim, or claim, that any of the conditions set forth in Article 9 have not been satisfied (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing), or at such other place, at such other time or on such other date as Parent and the Company may mutually agree (the “Closing Date”).

(c) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company will duly execute and file a plan of merger, in the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Plan of Merger”) and other documents required to effect the Merger by the Cayman Companies Law with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands as provided in Section 233 of the Cayman Companies Law (together, the “Merger Documents”). The Merger will become effective when the Merger Documents have been duly filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands or on such subsequent date as Merger Subsidiary and the Company shall agree and specify in the Merger Documents in accordance with the Cayman Companies Law (the date and time the Merger becomes effective, the “Effective Time”).

(d) The Merger shall have the effects specified in the Cayman Companies Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall succeed to and assume all the rights, property of every description, including choses in action, and the business, undertaking, goodwill, benefits, immunities and privileges, mortgages, charges or security interests and all contracts, obligations, claims, debts and liabilities of Merger Subsidiary and the Company in accordance with the Cayman Companies Law.

Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are owned by Parent, Parent Assignee, Merger Subsidiary, or any Subsidiary of the Company or Parent, or by the Company as treasury shares (if applicable) (collectively, “Excluded Shares”) and, subject to Section 2.04, Dissenting Shares, shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $22.60 in cash per Company Share, without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”) payable in the manner provided in Section 2.03 subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and shall cease to exist and no longer be outstanding, and each holder thereof shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration without interest, upon surrender of the Share Certificate (if any) representing such share in accordance with Section 2.03.

(b) each Company Share held by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Parent, Parent Assignee or Merger Subsidiary or any Subsidiary of the Company or Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto;

(c) each ordinary share of Merger Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one ordinary share, par value $0.0125 per share, of the Surviving Company with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding capital shares of the Surviving Company;

(d) each Excluded Share shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor; and

(e) without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if, at any time during the period between the date hereof and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding capital shares of the Company shall occur by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, share split (including reverse share split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any share dividend or distribution paid in share, the Per Share Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such reclassification, recapitalization, share split (including reverse share split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any share dividend or distribution paid in share and to provide to the holders of Company Shares and Company Share Options the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action.

Section 2.03. Surrender and Payment. (a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint Citibank, N.A. in New York, New York or such other bank or trust company that may be designated by Parent and is reasonably satisfactory to the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) to receive the funds to which shareholders of the Company will become entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(a), Section 2.04 (in the case of Section 2.04, when ascertained) and Section 2.05 (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”) and Parent will enter into a paying agent agreement with the Paying Agent, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company. At or prior to the Effective Time or in the case of payments pursuant to Section 2.04, when ascertained, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Company Shares, cash in an amount sufficient to pay the Merger Consideration (such

cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund”). The Payment Fund shall, pending its disbursement to the holders of Company Shares, be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company in (i) short-term direct obligations of the United States of America, (ii) short-term obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for the payment of principal and interest, (iii) short-term commercial paper rated the highest quality by either Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services, or (iv) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks reasonably acceptable to the Company; provided that no such investment or losses shall affect the amounts payable to such holders of Company Shares and Parent shall promptly replace or cause to be replaced any funds deposited with the Paying Agent that are lost through any investment so as to ensure that the Payment Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Paying Agent to pay the Merger Consideration. Earnings from investments, subject to the immediately preceding proviso, shall be paid to and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent and the Surviving Company. Except as contemplated by Section 2.03(d) hereof, the Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (and in any event within five (5) Business Days in the case of record holders and three (3) Business Days in the case of The Depository Trust Company on behalf of beneficial holders holding through brokers, nominees, custodians or through a third party), the Surviving Company shall cause the Paying Agent to mail, and The Depository Trust Company to deliver, to each Person who was, at the Effective Time, a registered holder of Company Shares entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.02: (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form for a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company, and shall specify the manner in which the delivery of the Payment Fund to registered holders of Company Shares shall be effected and contain such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of any issued share certificates representing Company Shares (the “Share Certificates”) (or affidavits and indemnities of loss in lieu of the Share Certificates as provided in Section 2.06) and/or such other documents as may be required in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of, if applicable, a Share Certificate (or affidavit and indemnity of loss in lieu of the Share Certificate as provided in Section 2.06) and/or such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, each registered holder of Company Shares represented by such Share Certificate and each registered holder of Company Shares which are not represented by a Share Certificate (the “Uncertificated Shares”) shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a check, in the amount equal to (y) the number of Company Shares represented by such Share Certificate (or affidavit and indemnity of loss in lieu of the Share Certificate as provided in Section 2.06) or the number of Uncertificated Shares multiplied by (z) the Per Share Merger Consideration, and the Share Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be marked as cancelled. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any amount payable in respect of the Company Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Article 2. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Shares that is not registered in the register of members of the Company, a check for any cash to be exchanged upon due surrender of the Share

Certificate may be issued to such transferee if the Share Certificates, if any, which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such Company Shares are presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents reasonably required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable share transfer taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Share Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Share Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Paying Agent any transfer or other taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Share Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) At any time following the date that is nine months after the Closing Date, the Surviving Company will be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds in the Payment Fund that had been made available to the Paying Agent and not disbursed to holders of Company Shares (including all interest and other income received by the Paying Agent in respect of all funds made available to it), and thereafter such holders who have not complied with this Article 2 and received the Per Share Merger Consideration therefor shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Company for the cash to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(a), Section 2.04 and Section 2.05 and, subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and other similar Laws, receive in consideration therefor the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration that may be payable upon compliance by that holder of the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(b) relating to delivery by such holder of evidence of such Company Shares, without interest or dividends thereon.

(e) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Shares. If, after the Effective Time, Share Certificates, Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Company or the Paying Agent, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 2.

(f) The Per Share Merger Consideration paid upon the delivery of a Share Certificate (if any) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Shares formerly represented by such Share Certificate.

(g) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, none of Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Company, the Surviving Company, or the Paying Agent will be liable to any shareholders of the Company in respect of any cash properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any portion of the Payment Fund remaining unclaimed by shareholders of the Company as of a date that is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority will, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(h) Remittances for the Per Share Merger Consideration shall not be sent to Company shareholders who are untraceable unless and until, except as provided below, they notify the Paying Agent of their current contact details prior to the Effective Time. A holder of Company Shares will be deemed to be untraceable if (i) it had no registered address in the register of members (or branch register) maintained by the Company, or (ii) on the last two consecutive occasions on which a dividend has been paid by the Company a cheque payable to such holder either (A) has been sent to such holder and has been returned undelivered or has not been cashed or (B) has not been sent to such holder because on an earlier occasion a cheque for a dividend so payable has been returned undelivered, and in any such case no valid claim in respect thereof has been communicated in writing to the Company, or (iii) notice of the Company Shareholder Meeting convened to vote on the Merger has been sent to such holder and has been returned undelivered. Monies due to Dissenting Shareholders and shareholders of the Company who are untraceable shall be returned to the Surviving Company on demand and held in a non-interest bearing bank account for the benefit of Dissenting Shareholders and shareholders of the Company who are untraceable. Monies unclaimed after a period of seven years from the date of the notice of the Company Shareholder Meeting shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Surviving Company. Dissenting Shareholders and shareholders of the Company who are untraceable and who subsequently request payment of any monies otherwise payable in respect of the Merger within applicable time limits or limitation periods will be advised to contact the Surviving Company.

(i) Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company agree that the Per Share Merger Consideration represents the fair value of the Company Shares for the purposes of Section 238(8) of the Cayman Companies Law.

Section 2.04. Dissenting Shares. No shareholder who has validly exercised its appraisal and dissention rights pursuant to Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law shall be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration as provided for in Section 2.02 with respect to the Company Shares owned by such shareholder (the “Dissenting Shares”) unless and until such shareholder shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such shareholder’s appraisal and dissention rights under the Cayman Companies Law. Any such shareholder shall instead be entitled to receive only the payment of the fair value resulting from the procedure in Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law with respect to such shareholder’s Dissenting Shares, and such Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled at the Effective Time. The Company shall give Parent (A) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Applicable Law that are received by the Company relating to Company shareholders’ rights of dissention, and (B) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demand for determining the fair value of the Dissenting Shares under the Cayman Companies Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Dissenting Shares held by any shareholder who shall have failed to validly exercise its appraisal and dissention rights, or withdrawn or lost such shareholder’s rights of dissention of such Dissenting Shares under Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law, shall thereupon (i) not be deemed to be Dissenting Shares and (ii) be deemed to have been cancelled and converted into, and to have become exchanged for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in the manner provided in Section 2.03.

Section 2.05. Company Equity Awards. (a) At or immediately prior to the Effective Time, each option to purchase Company Shares outstanding at such time under any Company Share Plan (a “Company Share Option”), whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by Parent Assignee and converted into an option (each, an “Assumed Share Option”) to purchase a number of Parent Ordinary Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of the number of Company Shares subject to such Company Share Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Option Exchange Ratio. The per-share exercise price for the Parent Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Share Option shall be equal (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) to the exercise price per Company Share applicable to such Company Share Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Option Exchange Ratio. Except as provided above, each Assumed Share Option shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including expiration date, vesting and exercise provisions) as were applicable to the corresponding Company Share Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to compliance with Applicable Laws, including compliance with SAFE requirements. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent Assignee shall deliver to the holder of each Assumed Share Option appropriate notices setting forth the number of Parent Ordinary Shares subject to such Assumed Share Option then held by such holder and the exercise price under each such Assumed Share Option, each as adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.05(a). For purposes of this Agreement, “Option Exchange Ratio” means the ratio of (x) the Per Share Merger Consideration to (y) the Parent Share Value, and the “Parent Share Value” means the fair market value of a Parent Ordinary Share at the Effective Time as reasonably determined by the Company and Parent prior to the Closing; provided that the Company and Parent hereby agree that such fair market value will be determined based upon the implied value of Parent Assignee (taking into account the implied value of the Surviving Company based on the Merger Consideration). At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver a notice to the holders of Company Share Options that will be vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time permitting such holders of vested Company Share Options that have a per-share exercise price less than the Per Share Merger Consideration to elect to cancel such vested Company Share Options in exchange for the right to receive cash payment, subject to applicable tax withholding, equal to the product of (x) the total number of Company Shares subject to such vested Company Share Option (or such lesser number of shares as such holder may elect), multiplied by (y) the excess of the amount of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of such vested Company Share Option (with the aggregate amount of such payment rounded to the nearest whole cent), with such cancellation to be effective upon and only upon the Closing, subject to the Company delivering such elections to Parent Assignee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing.

(b) At or immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Share that is then outstanding and subject to vesting or other lapse restrictions under any Company Share Plan (each, a “Company Restricted Share”) shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, upon the date on which such Company Restricted Share would have vested following the Effective Time in accordance with the provisions of the award agreement that evidences such Company Restricted Share (each such date, a “Vesting Date”), a cash payment (subject to all applicable withholding) equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering any Company Share Plan) shall adopt such resolutions or take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting, providing for (i) the termination of the Company Share Plans, and any relevant award agreements applicable to the Company Share Plans, as of the Effective Time (except to the extent such Company Share Plans and award agreements provide terms and conditions applicable after the Effective Time to the Assumed Share Options and the rights to receive cash payments in respect of Company Restricted Shares), (ii) the assumption or cancellation, as applicable, of each Company Share Award that is outstanding and unexercised, whether or not vested or exercisable, as of the Effective Time in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.05, and (iii) the effectuation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.05. From and after the Effective Time, neither Parent Assignee nor the Surviving Company shall be required to issue any Company Shares, other share capital of the Company or the Surviving Company or any other consideration (other than required by this Section 2.05) to any person pursuant to or in settlement of any Company Share Award. Promptly following the date hereof, the Company shall deliver written notice to each holder of a Company Share Award informing such holder of the effect of the Merger on its Company Share Awards.

Section 2.06. Lost Certificates. If any Share Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Share Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Company, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Company may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Share Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Share Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Share represented by such Share Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 2.

Section 2.07. Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Parent and its Affiliates, and any other Person that has a payment obligation pursuant to this Agreement, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts that are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. The withheld amounts shall be paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority and treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.08. Formation of Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, Parent shall cause Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary to be formed as exempted companies under the laws of the Cayman Islands and shall immediately thereafter (a) cause Merger Subsidiary and Parent Assignee to join this Agreement by signing the Joinder Agreement and (b) Parent shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.08, assign, and cause Parent Assignee to assume, all rights of Parent under this Agreement by signing the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that Parent shall

not be relieved of any of its obligations under and pursuant to this Agreement, and shall remain responsible for all representations, warranties, liabilities, covenants, agreements and any other obligations under and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. As soon as reasonably practicable following the formation of Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary, Parent will make available to the Company the memorandum and articles of association of Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary as then currently in effect. Parent shall take such actions as are necessary, proper and advisable to cause the board of directors of Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary to approve this Agreement and to cause the shareholder(s) of Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary to approve the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and the Joinder Agreement and the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as applicable, the approval and authorization of the Plan of Merger and the consummation of the Transactions by Merger Subsidiary and Parent Assignee and, if required, proper or advisable, Parent shall cause the board of directors of Merger Subsidiary to approve, and the Company Board shall approve, the Plan of Merger in the form to be filed with the Registrar as contemplated by Section 2.01(b) with such changes as necessary, proper or appropriate in connection with the formation of Merger Subsidiary and in any case consistent with the terms of this Agreement. (i) The obligations of Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary to perform its covenants under this Agreement, and of Parent to cause Parent Assignee or Merger Subsidiary to take any actions, shall commence only at the time Merger Subsidiary so joins this Agreement or Parent Assignee so assumes the rights of Parent under this Agreement, as the case may be, and (ii) each representation and warranty made by or with respect to Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary shall be deemed not made until Parent Assignee assumes the rights and obligations under this Agreement or Merger Subsidiary joins this Agreement, respectively and any references to the date of this Agreement with respect thereto shall refer to the date of Parent Assignee’s assumption or Merger Sub’s joinder, respectively. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including this Section 2.08, Parent agrees and acknowledges that Parent shall remain a party hereto and that Parent, Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary shall be jointly and severally responsible and liable for all representations, warranties, liabilities, covenants, agreements and any other obligations under and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and for the avoidance of doubt Parent shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under and pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent, Parent Assignee, Merger Subsidiary and their respective assigns understand and agree that no assignment by Parent of its rights under this Agreement to Parent Assignee or otherwise, or the joinder of Parent Assignee or Merger Subsidiary to this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be the basis for a claim that the Company has breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations under this Agreement, or a claim that any of the conditions set forth in Article 9 have not been satisfied.

(f) Notwithstanding Section 6.03(d), at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval or during the Solicitation Period, if an Intervening Event has occurred and a majority (after taking any abstentions into account but subject to quorum requirements) of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would, or would reasonably be expected to, be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, the Board of Directors of the Company may make an Adverse Recommendation Change; provided that the Board of Directors of the Company shall not make such Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company has (i) provided to Parent, Parent Assignee or Merger Subsidiary at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice that it intends to take such action and specifying in reasonable detail the facts underlying the decision by the Board of Directors of the Company to take such action and (ii) during such five (5) Business Day period, if requested by Parent, Parent Assignee, or Merger Subsidiary, engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for such Adverse Recommendation Change.

(g) The Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days) after receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any Acquisition Proposal, which notice shall identify the material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal (it being understood that such notice need not include the identity of the Third Party) and the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed promptly (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days) after any material developments, discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal and shall provide to Parent promptly (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days) after receipt thereof copies of all the proposed transaction agreements or proposed letters sent or provided to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that describe any material terms or conditions of any Acquisition Proposal (it being understood that such agreement or letters need not include the identity of the Third Party).

(h) In addition, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board of Directors of the Company from (i) complying with Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the 1934 Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal; provided that any such action taken or statement made that relates to any Acquisition Proposal shall not be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change if the Board of Directors of the Company reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such statement or in connection with such action or (ii) making any disclosure to the shareholders of the Company if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would, or would reasonably be expected to be, inconsistent with Applicable Law (including its fiduciary duties); provided that if such disclosure has the effect of withdrawing or adversely modifying the Company Board Recommendation, such disclosure shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change; provided, further, that any such disclosure shall not be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change if the Board of Directors of the Company reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such disclosure.

(i) As used in this Agreement:

(i) “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” means a confidentiality agreement that contains provisions that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that such confidentiality agreement may contain a less restrictive or no standstill restriction, in which case the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to contain only such less restrictive provision, or to omit such provision, as applicable.

(ii) “Intervening Event” means a material event, development or change with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries or the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case, taken as a whole, that (1) is unknown or not reasonably foreseeable by the Board of Directors of the Company as of or prior to the date of this Agreement or, if known or reasonably foreseeable to the Board of Directors of the Company as of or prior to the date of this Agreement, the material consequences of which were not known or reasonably foreseeable to the Board of Directors of the Company as of or prior to the date of this Agreement, and (2) occurs, arises or becomes known to the Board of Directors of the Company after the date of this Agreement and on or prior to the date of the Company Shareholder Approval; provided that the receipt by the Company of an Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal or any inquiry related thereto or the consequences of completing such Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal will not be deemed to constitute an Intervening Event.

(iii) “Superior Proposal” means an unsolicited bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal for at least a majority of the outstanding Company Shares or a majority of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, and taking into account all relevant terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, (1) would be more reasonably likely than the Merger to be consummated in accordance with its terms, taking into account such factors as the Board of Directors of the Company considers appropriate, which may include legal, financial, regulatory approvals, and other aspects of such Acquisition Proposal, including conditionality and the identity and credibility of the Person or group making the Acquisition Proposal, and (2) is more favorable to the Company’s shareholders than the Merger (taking into account any irrevocable written proposal by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.03(e)); provided however, that any such Acquisition Proposal shall not be deemed to be a “Superior Proposal” (A) if the definitive agreement for such proposal contains a “due diligence” condition in favor of the Third Party or (B) unless in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, any financing required to consummate the transaction contemplated by such Acquisition Proposal is determined to be reasonably obtainable by the Third Party.

Section 6.04. Access to Information. (a) Subject to Section 6.04(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, from the date hereof until the Effective Time, and subject to Applicable Law and the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company shall (a) give to Parent, its counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the offices, properties, books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including Tax records, Tax and accounting work papers, Tax and general ledgers, subsidiary ledgers, accounting documents and other financial related information), to the extent available as of the date hereof, or to the extent created by or received by, or in the possession of, the Company after the date hereof, and (b) instruct its employees, counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives to reasonably cooperate with Parent in such access. Any access pursuant to this Section shall be conducted under supervision of appropriate personnel of the Company and in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of the request, the Company shall deliver or make available to Parent information, books and records relating to the distribution arrangements (including with respect to revenue recognition) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its controlled Affiliates (the “Distributor Information”) as Parent has reasonably requested or may reasonably request.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.04(a), nothing in this Agreement shall require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives to provide Parent or any of its Representatives with access to any books, records, documents or other information (i) to the extent that such books, records, documents or other information is subject

to the terms of a confidentiality agreement with a Third Party, (ii) to the extent that the disclosure of such books, records, documents or other information would result in the loss of attorney-client privilege or (iii) to the extent the disclosure of such books, records, documents or other information is prohibited by Applicable Law; provided that the Company shall take all commercially reasonable steps to permit inspection of or to disclose such information on a basis that does not waive the Company’s or its Subsidiary’s, as the case may be, privilege with respect thereto

Section 6.05. Escrow for Termination Fee. (a) As of the date hereof or on the first Business Day that the escrow account referenced herein is available to receive deposits if such account is not available to receive deposits on the date hereof, the Company has deposited or will deposit, or has caused to be deposited or will cause to be deposited, an amount of cash equal to 50% of the Termination Fee (the “Initially Deposited Termination Fee”) with Citibank, N.A. in New York, New York (the “Escrow Agent”), as escrow agent, and (b) within five (5) Business Days following the obtainment of the Company Shareholder Approval (if obtained), the Company shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, an additional amount of cash equal to the remaining amount of the Termination Fee which has not been deposited with the Escrow Agreement at or prior to such time (the “Remaining Termination Fee Deposit”) with the Escrow Agent, and which amounts shall be held and released by Escrow Agent subject to the terms of this Agreement and that certain escrow agreement, dated as of the date hereof, entered into between the Escrow Agent, Parent and the Company (the “Escrow Agreement”).

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall, or if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Company as of the Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay the premium for the non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies and the Company’s existing fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, “D&O Insurance”), in each case for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time (including claims with respect to the adoption of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies; provided that the Company shall give Parent a reasonable opportunity to participate in the negotiation of such “tail” insurance policy or extension and the Company shall give good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent with respect thereto; and provided that the premium per annum payable for such “tail” insurance policy or extension shall not exceed 300% of the amount per annum the Company paid in its last full fiscal year (which amount is set forth in Section 7.03(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule) (such maximum amount, the “Maximum Tail Premium”) and if the cost for such “tail” insurance policy or extension exceeds the Maximum Tail Premium, then the Company shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Tail Premium.

(d) If Parent or the Surviving Company (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys of its property and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the applicable successor, assign or transferee shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.03 (including this Section 7.03(d)).

(e) The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Section 7.03 shall be in addition to any rights such Person may have under the memorandum and articles of association of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, under Cayman Companies Law or any other Applicable Law, under any agreement of any Indemnified Person with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise. These rights shall survive consummation of the Merger and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Company under this Section 7.03 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnified Person.

Section 7.04. Employee Matters. (a) With respect to employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately before the Effective Time who remain employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately after the Effective Time (“Company Employees”), for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing (or, if earlier, the termination of the applicable Company Employee’s employment with Parent, the Surviving Company and their Affiliates) (the “Benefit Period”), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to, for so long as a particular Company Employee is engaged by Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their Subsidiaries, provide compensation and employee benefits to such Company Employee that, taken as a whole, are substantially similar in the aggregate to the compensation and benefits provided to the Company Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Employee Plans listed on Section 4.17(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (or, in Parent’s sole discretion, if more favorable to the Company Employee, the compensation and benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Affiliates).

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 7.04(a), from the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to, assume, honor and continue during the Benefit Period or, if sooner, until all obligations thereunder have been satisfied, all of the Company’s employment, severance, change in control, retention and termination plans and agreements, in each case, as in effect at the Effective Time and listed on Section 4.17(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, including with respect to any payments, benefits or rights arising as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (either alone or in combination with any other event) that are described in Section 4.17(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, in accordance with the terms of such plans and agreements (including the terms regarding the right to amend or terminate such plans or agreements); provided, however, that to the extent an event triggering benefits under any such agreement occurs during the Benefit Period, the obligations of Parent or the Surviving Company, as applicable, hereunder shall continue until such obligations to provide such benefits have been fully satisfied.

(c) With respect to any “employee benefit plan”, as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, maintained by the Surviving Company or any of its Affiliates (including any vacation, paid time-off and severance plans), for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, level of vacation, paid-time off and severance benefits, and vesting, each Company Employee’s service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any such Subsidiary, to the extent service with the predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or such Subsidiary under the comparable Employee Plans) shall be treated as service with the Surviving Company or its Affiliates; provided, however, that such service was recognized for such Company Employee for the same purpose under the comparable Employee Plan as of the Effective Time and that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits.

(d) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive, or shall cause the Surviving Company or any of its Affiliates to waive, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any US health benefit plan maintained by the Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their Affiliates in which any Company Employee (or the dependents of any eligible employee) will be eligible to participate during the Benefit Period, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Employee Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize, or shall cause the Surviving Company or any of its Affiliates to recognize, the dollar amount of all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by each Company Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which such Company Employee will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time.

(e) Without limiting the generality of Section 11.06, nothing in this Section 7.04 shall create any right in any Person, including any employees, former employees, any participant in any Employee Plan or any beneficiary thereof, nor create any right to continued employment with Parent, Company, the Surviving Company or any of their Affiliates, nor be construed in any way as modifying or amending the provisions of an Employee Plan.

(a) As of the date hereof or on the first Business Day that the escrow account referenced herein is available to receive deposits if such account is not available to receive deposits on the date hereof, Parent has deposited or will deposit, or has caused to be deposited or will cause to be deposited, an amount of cash equal to 50% of the Reverse Termination Fee (the “Initially Deposited Reverse Termination Fee”) with the Escrow Agent and (b) within five (5) Business Days following the obtainment of the Company Shareholder Approval (if obtained), Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, an additional amount of cash equal to the remaining amount of the Reverse Termination Fee which has not been deposited with the Escrow Agreement at or prior to such time (the “Remaining Reverse Termination Fee Deposit”) with the Escrow Agent, in each case, as collateral and security for the payment of the Reverse Termination Fee pursuant to Section 11.04 and which amounts shall be held and released by Escrow Agent subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

Section 7.06. Financing.

(a) Parent, Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary acknowledge and agree that the Company and its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives shall not have any responsibility for, or incur any liability prior to the Effective Time to any person under, any financing that Parent, Parent Assignee or Merger Subsidiary may raise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any cooperation provided pursuant to Section 8.08, including in connection with the Bank of China Commitment Letter, or any other debt commitment letter including those included in the Acceptable Financing Evidence (“Commitment Letters”) (other than to Parent, Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary for breach of such covenants pursuant to the terms herein) and that Parent, Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary shall, on a joint and several basis, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith.

(b) Each of Parent, Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary shall use, and shall cause their Affiliates to use, their respective reasonable 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 to arrange and obtain the proceeds of any debt financing on the terms and conditions described in the Acceptable Commitment Letters and the Available Funding (collectively, the “Financing”), including using (and causing their affiliates to use) their respective reasonable best efforts to: (i) enter into Acceptable Commitment Letters (other than the Bank of China Commitment Letter), which such Acceptable Commitment Letters shall be in effect as promptly as practicable after the date hereof and (A) shall be legal, valid and binding obligations of Parent, Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary and the other parties thereto, and (B) subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the lender parties thereto shall have committed to lend the amounts set forth therein to Parent, Parent Assignee and/or Merger Subsidiary for the purpose of funding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contained in any Commitment Letter, which agreements shall be in effect as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, but in no event later than the Closing, (iii) satisfy, or cause their Representatives to satisfy, on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Parent, Parent Assignee, Merger Subsidiary or their respective Representatives in such definitive agreements, and (iv) cause the lenders and any other persons providing Financing to fund the Financing at the Closing. The term “Acceptable Commitment Letters” means one or more fully executed debt commitment letters from one or more banks to Parent, Parent Assignee, Merger Subsidiary or any of their respective controlled Affiliates that in form and substance does not contain conditions to funding beyond the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions in Sections 9.01 and 9.02 (other than any conditions in Section 9.01 and 9.02 that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the prior or substantially concurrent satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) and is otherwise presently customary for a United States “going private” transaction as to its conditionality and deal certainty provisions, and that would provide for an aggregate amount of financing that shall at least equal the aggregate amount sufficient to fund all of the amounts required to be provided by Parent, Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and for the satisfaction of all of Parent’s Parent Assignee’s and Merger Subsidiary’s obligations under this Agreement, including the payment of the Merger Consideration, other than amounts that Parent, Parent Assignee and/or Merger Subsidiary have available in the form of immediately available funds or readily marketable securities and the Company Cash, in each case, as evidenced by the Acceptable Financing Evidence. The term “Acceptable Financing Evidence” means, collectively, the Acceptable Commitment Letters, the Initially Deposited Termination Fee and, if deposited pursuant to Section 6.05 of this Agreement, the Remaining Termination Fee Deposit (the “Company Cash”), and true, correct and authenticated bank statements, brokerage statements, or such other similar statements of accounts that are exclusively controlled by Parent, Parent Assignee or Merger Subsidiary that are evidence of immediately available cash or readily marketable securities available exclusively to Parent, Parent Assignee and/or Merger Subsidiary, that together with the amounts under the Acceptable Commitment Letters and the Company Cash, represent sufficient funds to make payment of all amounts required to be provided by Parent, Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Available Funding”).

(c) With respect to any Commitment Letter entered into by Parent, Parent Assignee or Merger Subsidiary or any of their respective controlled Affiliates, Parent, Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary shall not (and shall not permit any of their respective controlled Affiliates to) agree to any amendments or modifications to, or grant any waivers of, any condition or other provision under such Commitment Letter without the prior written consent of the Company if such amendments, modifications or waivers would reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount of the Financing) (except to the extent that Parent, Parent Assignee, Merger Subsidiary or any of their respective controlled Affiliates concurrently with such amendment, modification or waiver enters into a new Acceptable Commitment Letter for the amount of such reduction in the Financing), impose new or additional conditions or otherwise be reasonably likely to (i) prevent or materially delay or impair the ability of Parent, Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) adversely impact the ability of Parent, Parent Assignee, Merger Subsidiary and any of their respective controlled Affiliates to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Commitment Letters. Parent, Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary shall not (and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates to) release or consent to the termination of the obligations of the lenders under any Commitment Letters without the prior written consent of the Company, except to the extent any such released or terminated obligations are concurrently replaced by a new Acceptable Commitment Letter. With respect to the Available Funding, Parent, Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary shall use their reasonable best efforts to not take any actions that would reduce the Available Funding to an amount that would prevent or materially delay or impair the ability of Parent, Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) In the event any Commitment Letter shall be withdrawn or terminated, or Parent, Parent Assignee, Merger Subsidiary or any other party thereto shall take any action with respect to any Commitment Letter that requires the prior written consent of the Company pursuant to Section 7.06(c) and such action is taken without the Company’s prior written consent, or in the event Parent, Parent Assignee, Merger Subsidiary or any other party thereto shall default on or breach in any material respect any term of any Commitment Letter, or there shall be any failure or waiver of any condition of any Commitment Letter, Parent, Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary shall as soon as practical (but in any event within one (1) Business Day thereof) provide written notice to the Company of such event or circumstance (any such event or circumstance, an “Commitment Letter Default”). The occurrence of a Commitment Letter Default or Funding Unavailability Event with respect to an Acceptable Commitment Letter or the Available Funding is an “Acceptable Commitment Letter Default”.

(e) In the event that any portion of the Financing becomes or could reasonably be expected to become unavailable in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Commitment Letters, or any portion of the Available Funding becomes or could reasonably be expected to become unavailable in any manner (each, a “Funding Unavailability Event”), (i) Parent shall immediately so notify the Company and (ii) Parent, Parent Assignee and Merger

Subsidiary shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain, and to negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to, alternative financing from alternative financial institutions in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement upon conditions not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to Parent, Parent Assignee, Merger Subsidiary and the Company than those in the Commitment Letters, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event (and in any event no later than the Closing Date). The definitive agreements entered into pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.06(e) or Section 7.06(b)(ii) are referred to in this Agreement, collectively, as the “Financing Agreements.”

(f) Each of Parent, Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary acknowledges and agrees that neither the obtaining of the Financing or any alternative financing, is a condition to the Closing, and reaffirms its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement irrespective and independently of the availability of the Financing or any alternative financing, or the completion of any such issuance, subject to the applicable conditions in Section 9.01 and Section 9.02.

(g) Any material breach of the Financing Agreements or any alternative financing agreement by Parent, Parent Assignee or Merger Subsidiary or their respective controlled Affiliates shall be deemed a breach by Parent of this Section 7.06. Parent shall (i) furnish to the Company complete, correct and executed copies of the Financing Agreements or any alternative financing agreement promptly upon their execution, (ii) give the Company prompt notice of any breach or threatened breach by any party of the Commitment Letters, the Financing Agreements, or any alternative financing agreement of which Parent, Parent Assignee or Merger Subsidiary or their respective controlled Affiliates becomes aware or any termination or threatened termination thereof, and (iii) otherwise keep the Company reasonably informed of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing (or any alternative financing).

(iii) If this Agreement is terminated (x) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i) or Section 10.01(b)(ii) (due to a Restraint that arises as a result of or is issued in respect of a failure described in clause (A) or (B) below) and, at the time of such termination, all of the conditions set forth in Sections 9.01(a), 9.01(b) (other than a Restraint that arises as a result of or is issued in respect of a failure described in clause (A) or (B) below) and 9.02 (as if the date of such termination were the Effective Time, where applicable) shall have been satisfied or waived by the applicable parties hereto, other than those conditions that are not satisfied as a result of, or in connection with, (A) any failure to obtain any of the Parent Required Approvals (other than any such failure primarily caused by the Company’s breach of any provisions of this Agreement which would cause Section 9.02(a)(i) not be satisfied or other than as set forth on Section 11.04(b)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule), then, Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Company an amount equal to $67,940,000 (the “Reverse Termination Fee”) or (B) any failure to obtain the PRC Antitrust Clearance (other than as set forth on Section 11.04(b)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule) then, Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Company an amount equal to the Reverse Termination Fee or (y) by the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(iii), then, Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Company an amount equal to the Reverse Termination Fee, in each case, not later than the third (3^rd) Business Day following such termination.

If a Person is designated by Parent to receive the Termination Fee or by the Company to receive the Reverse Termination Fee, when payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then, if paid to such designee, the Termination Fee or the Reverse Termination Fee, as applicable, shall be deemed paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Subsidiary acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 11.04 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) without these agreements, the Company, Parent and Merger Subsidiary would not enter into this Agreement and (iii) each of the Termination Fee and the Reverse Termination Fee is not a penalty, but, except as set forth in Section 11.04(f), is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company or Parent, as the case may

be, in the circumstances in which such fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Accordingly, if the Company or Parent, as the case may be, fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 11.04 and, in order to obtain such payment, either Parent or the Company, as the case may be, commences a suit that results in a judgment against the other party for the payment of any amount set forth in this Section 11.04, such paying party shall pay the other party its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount at the annual rate of the prime rate plus five percent (5%) as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received, or such lesser rate as is the maximum permitted by Applicable Law.

(d) Parent and Merger Subsidiary agree that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Termination Fee is payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 11.04 and such Termination Fee is paid in full, except as provided in Section 11.04(f) and Section 11.13, Parent, Parent Assignee, Merger Subsidiary, the financing sources under the Financing or any of their respective former, current or future directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, shareholders or Affiliates or their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”) shall be precluded from any other remedy against the Company, at law or in equity or otherwise, and neither Parent, Parent Assignee nor Merger Subsidiary shall seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, shareholders or Affiliates or their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and that Parent’s right to receive payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 11.04 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Related Parties for all losses and damages suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and upon payment of such amount, none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (except that the Company shall also be obligated with respect to Section 11.04(c)).

(e) The Company agrees that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Reverse Termination Fee is payable by Parent pursuant to this Section 11.04 and such Reverse Termination Fee is paid in full, except as provided in Section 11.04(f) and Section 11.13, the Company Related Parties shall be precluded from any other remedy against the Parent, at law or in equity or otherwise, and the Company shall not seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against the Parent Related Parties in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and that the Company’s right to receive payment of the Reverse Termination Fee pursuant to Section 11.04 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company Related Parties for all losses and damages suffered as a result of the

failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and upon payment of such amount, none of the Parent Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (except that Parent shall also be obligated with respect to Section 11.04(c) and for any of its expense reimbursement and indemnification obligations contained in Section 8.08).

(f) Notwithstanding Section 11.04(d), payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 11.04(b)(i) or 11.04(b)(ii) (i) shall not constitute liquidated damages with respect to any claim for damages or any other claim which Parent, Parent Assignee, or Merger Subsidiary would be entitled to assert against the Company, any Company Related Parties or any of their respective assets with respect to any such termination of this Agreement based upon the knowing or intentional breach or intentional misrepresentation of any representations, warranties or covenants of the Company in this Agreement, and (ii) shall not constitute the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any such termination of this Agreement based upon the knowing or intentional breach or misrepresentation of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Company in this Agreement. Notwithstanding Section 11.04(e), payment of the Reverse Termination Fee pursuant to Section 11.04(b)(iii): (i) shall not constitute liquidated damages with respect to any claim for damages or any other claim which the Company would be entitled to assert against Parent, any Parent Related Parties (other than any financing source in respect of the Financing) or any of their respective assets with respect to any such termination of this Agreement based upon the knowing or intentional breach or intentional misrepresentation of any representations, warranties or covenants of Parent, Parent Assignee or Merger Subsidiary in this Agreement, and (ii) shall not constitute the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any such termination of this Agreement based upon the knowing or intentional breach or misrepresentation of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of Parent in this Agreement, it being understood that the failure to obtain the Financing shall not, in and of itself, constitute a knowing or intentional breach.

Section 11.05. Disclosure Schedule References. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties hereto agree that any reference in a particular Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other provisions hereof of the relevant party that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement, and any other representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other provisions hereof of such party that is contained in this Agreement, but only if the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and other provisions hereof, would be readily apparent to a reasonable person who has read that reference and such representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or other provision hereof, without any independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter(s) so disclosed. The mere inclusion of an item in the Company Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other provision hereof shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

Section 11.06. Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including Parent Assignee).

Section 11.13. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in

accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 11.08 without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under at law or in equity, and the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties hereto have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 11.13 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. If, prior to the End Date, any party brings any suit, action or proceeding, in each case in accordance with Section 11.08, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, the End Date shall automatically be extended by (A) the amount of time during which such suit, action or proceeding is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days or (B) such other time period established by the court presiding over such suit, action or proceeding, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is explicitly agreed that the Company shall only be entitled to obtain an injunction, or other appropriate form of equitable relief, to cause Parent, Parent Assignee and Merger Subsidiary to consummate the Closing pursuant to the terms herein if, and only if, each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (i) the Financing (or, if alternative financing is being used in accordance with Section 7.06(e), the alternative financing) has been funded or will be funded at the Closing and (ii) the Company has irrevocably confirmed that if specific performance is granted and the Financing (or alternative financing, as the case may be) is funded, then the Closing will occur. For the avoidance of doubt, while the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance of the type provided in the preceding sentence and the payment of the Reverse Termination Fee under Section 11.04, under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance of the type contemplated by the preceding sentence and monetary damages, including all or any portion of the Reverse Termination Fee.
