PART II
INFORMATION
NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
|
|
ITEM 6
|
INDEMNIFICATION
OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
|
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a
companys articles of association may provide for
indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent
any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to
be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification
against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.
Our third amended and restated memorandum and articles of
association, which will become effective upon the closing of
this offering, will provide for indemnification of officers and
directors for losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred in
their capacities as such, except through their own dishonesty,
fraud or default.
Under the form of indemnification agreements filed as
Exhibit 10.2 to this registration statement, we will agree
to indemnify our directors and executive officers against
certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in
connection with claims made by reason of their being such a
director or executive officer.
The form of underwriting agreement to be filed as
Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement will also
provide for indemnification of us and our officers and directors.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or
persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have
been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

EXHIBITS AND
FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES
|
(a) Exhibits
See Exhibit Index beginning on
page II-6
of this registration statement.
(b) Financial
Statement Schedules
Schedules have been omitted because the information required to
be set forth therein is not applicable or is shown in our
consolidated financial statements or the notes thereto.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the
underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting
agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in
such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt
delivery to each purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant under the provisions
described in Item 6, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is
therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
II-2
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of
prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in
reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant under Rule 424(b)(1) or
(4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to
be part of this registration statement as of the time it was
declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a
form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) For the purpose of determining liability under the
Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed
pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement
relating to an offering, other than registration statements
relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in
reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and
included in the registration statement as of the date it is
first used after effectiveness, provided, however, that no
statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is
part of the registration statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of
contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify
any statement that was made in the registration statement or
prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made
in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(4) For the purpose of determining liability of the
registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in
the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned
registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities
of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell
the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered
or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following
communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to
the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such
securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the
undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering
prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used
or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus
relating to the offering containing material information about
the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on
behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the
offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the financial condition, results of operations,
business, properties, assets or liabilities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or the
offering or sale of the Shares, without the Underwriters prior consent.
(w) The Company will not, at any time at or after the execution of this Agreement, directly or
indirectly, offer or sell any Shares by means of any
prospectus (within the meaning of the Securities Act), or use any prospectus (within the
meaning of the Securities Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the Shares, in each case
other than the then most recent prospectus included in the Registration Statement.
(x) The Company will do and perform all things required to be done or performed under this
Agreement by the Company prior to the Closing Date and to satisfy all conditions precedent to the
delivery of the Shares.
8. Covenants of Selling Shareholders. Each of the Selling Shareholders, severally and not
jointly, covenants with each Underwriter as follows:
(a) Such Selling Shareholder will indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters against any
documentary, stamp or similar issue tax, including any interest and penalties, on the creation,
issue and sale of the Shares by such Selling Shareholder and on the execution and delivery of this
Agreement. All payments to be made by each Selling Shareholder hereunder shall be made exclusive of
any Taxes and shall be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or
future taxes, duties or governmental charges whatsoever unless such Selling Shareholder or the
Company is compelled by law to deduct or withhold such taxes, duties or charges. In that event, a
Selling Shareholder shall (i) pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net
amounts received after such withholding or deduction shall equal the amounts that would have been
received if no withholding or deduction had been made, and (ii) forward to the Underwriters for
their records an official receipt of a copy of the official receipt issued by the taxing authority
or other document evidencing
- 36 -
payment of such taxes, duties or charges that such Selling Shareholder
was compelled by law to deduct or withhold and remit to the taxing authority to satisfy the tax
obligation of such Selling Shareholder. Such Selling Shareholder agrees that it shall be
responsible for all Taxes as well as all applicable compliance and regulatory obligations related
to such Taxes which may arise from or in connection with this Agreement.
(b) Such Selling Shareholder agrees to procure delivery to the Representatives on or prior to
the Closing Date of a properly completed and executed U.S. Treasury Department Form W-9 or
applicable Form W-8 (or other applicable form or statement specified by Treasury Department
regulations in lieu thereof).
(c) The Shares to be sold by such Selling Shareholder hereunder are subject to the interest of
the Underwriters and the obligations of such Selling Shareholder hereunder shall not be terminated
by any act of such Selling Shareholder, by operation of law, by the death or incapacity of any
individual Selling Shareholder or, in the case of a trust, by the death or incapacity of any
executor or trustee or the termination of such trust, or the occurrence of any other event.
(d) To notify promptly the Company and the Representatives if, at any time prior to the date
on which the distribution of the Shares as contemplated herein and in the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus has been completed, as determined by the Representatives, such Selling
Shareholder has knowledge of the occurrence of any event relating to such Selling Shareholder as a
result of which the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, in each case as then amended or
supplemented, would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact necessary to make the statements therein (except in the case of the Registration Statement),
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading.
(e) Prior to the delivery of the Shares on the Closing Date, such Selling Shareholder will
deposit, or cause to be deposited on its behalf, Ordinary Shares with the Depositary in accordance
with the provisions of the Deposit Agreement and otherwise to comply with the Deposit Agreement so
that ADRs evidencing the ADSs will be executed (and, if applicable, countersigned) and issued by
the Depositary against receipt of the Ordinary Shares and delivered to the Underwriters.
(f) Such Selling Shareholder will not (and will cause its affiliates not to) take, directly or
indirectly, any action which is designed to or which constitutes or which might reasonably be
expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of the
Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares.
- 37 -
(g) Such Selling Shareholder will advise the Representatives promptly and, if requested by the
Representatives, confirm such advice in writing, so long as a prospectus is required by the
Securities Act to be delivered (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the
Securities Act or any similar rule) in connection with any sale of ADSs by the Selling Shareholder
hereunder, of (A) any material change in condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations,
business, general affairs, management, shareholders equity, properties or prospects of the Company
and its subsidiaries, which has come to the attention of such Selling Shareholder, (B) any change
in information contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Time of Sale
Prospectus, if any, relating to such Selling Shareholder or (C) any new material information
relating to the Company or its subsidiaries or relating to any matter stated in the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus and the Time of Sale Prospectus, if any, which has come to the attention
of such Selling Shareholder.
(h) Such Selling Shareholder will cooperate to the extent necessary to cause the Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto to become effective at the earliest practical
time and to do and perform all things to be done and performed under this Agreement prior to the
Closing Date and to satisfy all conditions precedent of such Selling Shareholder to the delivery of
the Shares and the Shares to be sold by such Selling Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement.
(i) Such Selling Shareholder will not, directly or indirectly, use any of the proceeds it will
receive from the sale of the Shares contemplated hereby (A) to fund any operations in, to finance
any investments, projects or activities in, or to make any payments to, any country, or to make any
payments to, or finance any activities with, any Person, targeted by the Sanctions, or (B) in any
manner that is not in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations of any Governmental
Agency having jurisdiction over such Selling Shareholder, including, without limitation, the
requirement for PRC residents or citizens to repatriate the net proceeds received by such Selling
Shareholder into the PRC under the SAFE Rules and Regulations and applicable regulations of the PRC
Ministry of Commerce.

or this Agreement is terminated, the Sellers agree to pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident
to the performance of their obligations under this Agreement, including: (i) the fees,
disbursements and expenses of the Companys counsel, the Companys accountants and counsel for the
Selling Shareholders in connection with the registration and delivery of the Shares under the
Securities Act and all other fees or expenses in connection with the preparation and filing of the

therewith, and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to the Underwriters and dealers, in the
quantities hereinabove specified, (ii) all costs and expenses related to the transfer and delivery
of the Shares to the Underwriters, including any transfer or other taxes payable thereon, (iii) the
cost of printing or producing any Blue Sky or Legal Investment memorandum in connection with the
offer and sale of the Shares under state securities laws and all expenses in connection with the
qualification of the Shares for offer and sale under state securities laws as provided in
Section 8(g) hereof, including filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
for the Underwriters in connection with such qualification and in connection with the Blue Sky or
Legal Investment memorandum, (iv) all filing fees and expenses incurred in connection with the review and qualification of the
offering of the Shares by the FINRA, (v) all fees and expenses in connection with the preparation
and filing of the registration statement on Form 8-A relating to the Ordinary Shares and all costs
and expenses incident to listing the Shares on the NYSE, (vi) the cost of printing certificates
representing the Shares, (vii) the costs and charges of any transfer agent, registrar or
depositary, (viii) the costs and expenses of the Company relating to investor presentations on any

without limitation, expenses associated with the preparation or dissemination of any electronic

connection with the Directed Share Program and stamp duties, similar taxes or duties or other
taxes, if any, incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the Directed Share Program and (xi)
all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company
hereunder for which provision is not otherwise made in this Section. It is understood, however,
that except as provided in this Section, Section 11 entitled Indemnity and Contribution,
Section 12 entitled Directed Share Program Indemnification and the last paragraph of Section 14
below, the Underwriters will pay all of their costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements
of their counsel, stock transfer taxes payable on resale of any of the Shares by them and any
advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make, which costs and expenses shall be
apportioned among the Underwriters based on the relative economic benefits received by the
Underwriters under this Agreement.
- 39 -
The provisions of this Section shall not supersede or otherwise affect any agreement that the
Sellers may otherwise have for the allocation of such expenses among themselves.
10. Covenants of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter severally covenants with the Company not
to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission
under Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of
such Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but
for the action of the Underwriter.
11. Indemnity and Contribution. (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 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 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 or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter
furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein.
(b) The Selling Shareholders, severally and not jointly, agree 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 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
- 40 -
supplement 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 not misleading, but in any case only with reference to
information relating to such Selling Shareholder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such
Selling Shareholder expressly for use 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 or any amendment
or supplement thereto. The liability of each Selling Shareholder under the indemnity agreement
contained in this paragraph shall be limited to the net proceeds received by it from the sale of
Additional Shares under this Agreement, if any.
(c) 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) under the Securities Act, or the Prospectus (as amended
or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished 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 not misleading, but only with reference to
information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in
writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any
preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus or the
Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, it being understood and agree that the only such
information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus
furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the paragraph relating to stabilization by the
Underwriters appearing under the caption Underwriting.
(d) 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)
or 11(c), 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
- 41 -
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 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 Morgan Stanley. 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 persons named as attorneys-in-fact for the Selling
Shareholders under the Powers of Attorney. 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
- 42 -
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.
(e) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 11(a), 12(b) or 12(c) 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 Section 11(d)(i) above is not permitted by
applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in Section 11(d)(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 Sellers
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 each Seller and the total
underwriting discounts and commissions received by the 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 Sellers on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand
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 Sellers 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 is several and shall be limited to an
amount equal to the net proceeds received by each such Selling Shareholder under this Agreement.
(f) The Sellers 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
- 43 -
considerations referred to in Section 11(d). The amount
paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities
referred to in Section 11(d) 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.
(g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 11 and the
representations, warranties and other statements of the 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. Directed Share Program Indemnification. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless Morgan Stanley, each person, if any, who controls Morgan Stanley within the meaning of
either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of
Morgan Stanley within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act (Morgan Stanley Entities)
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) (i) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any material prepared by or with the consent of the
Company for distribution to
Participants in connection with the Directed Share Program 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; (ii) caused by the failure of any Participant to pay
for and accept delivery of Directed Shares that the Participant agreed to purchase; or (iii)
related to, arising out of, or in connection with the Directed Share Program, other than losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or expenses relating thereto) that are finally judicially
determined to have resulted from the bad faith or gross negligence of Morgan Stanley Entities.
- 44 -
(b) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted
involving any Morgan Stanley Entity in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to
Section 12(a), the Morgan Stanley Entity seeking indemnity, shall promptly notify the Company in
writing and the Company, upon request of the Morgan Stanley Entity, shall retain counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Morgan Stanley Entity to represent the Morgan Stanley Entity and any others the
Company may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel
related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Morgan Stanley Entity shall have the right
to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
such Morgan Stanley Entity unless (i) the Company shall have agreed to the retention of such
counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include
both the Company and the Morgan Stanley Entity and representation of both parties by the same
counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The
Company shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of the Morgan Stanley Entities in connection
with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Morgan Stanley
Entities. Any such separate firm for the Morgan Stanley Entities shall be designated in writing by
Morgan Stanley. The Company 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 Company agrees to indemnify the Morgan Stanley Entities from and against any
loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing
sentence, if at any time a Morgan Stanley Entity shall have requested the Company to reimburse it
for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this
paragraph, the Company 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 the Company of the aforesaid request and (ii) the Company shall not have reimbursed the Morgan
Stanley Entity in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. The Company
shall not, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley, effect any settlement of any
pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Morgan Stanley Entity is or could have
been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Morgan Stanley Entity, unless
such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Morgan Stanley Entities from all liability
on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(c) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 12(a) is unavailable to a Morgan
Stanley Entity or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to
therein, then the Company in lieu of indemnifying the Morgan Stanley Entity thereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Morgan Stanley Entity as a result of such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
- 45 -
relative
benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Morgan Stanley Entities on the other hand
from the offering of the Directed Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by Section 12(c)(i)
above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only
the relative benefits referred to in Section 12(c)(i) above but also the relative fault of the
Company on the one hand and of the Morgan Stanley Entities on the other hand in connection with any
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 on the
one hand and the Morgan Stanley Entities on the other hand in connection with the offering of the
Directed Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from
the offering of the Directed Shares (before deducting expenses) and the total underwriting
discounts and commissions received by the Morgan Stanley Entities for the Directed Shares, bear to
the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Directed Shares. If the loss, claim, damage or
liability is caused by an untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact, the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and
the Morgan Stanley Entities on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement or the omission or alleged omission relates
to information supplied by the Company or by the Morgan Stanley Entities and the parties relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission.
(d) The Company and the Morgan Stanley Entities agree that it would not be just or equitable
if contribution pursuant to this Section 12 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the
Morgan Stanley Entities 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 12(c).
The amount paid or payable by the Morgan Stanley Entities as a result of the losses, claims,
damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Morgan Stanley Entities in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 12, no Morgan Stanley Entity shall be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Directed Shares distributed to the
public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Morgan Stanley Entity
has otherwise been required to pay. The remedies provided for in this Section 12 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.
(e) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 13 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 Morgan Stanley Entity or the Company, its officers or
directors or any person
- 46 -
controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the
Directed Shares.
13. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the
Company, 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 NYSE, the American Stock Exchange or The NASDAQ Global Market, (ii) trading of any
securities of the Company shall 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 other relevant jurisdiction shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial
banking activities shall have been declared by U.S. federal, New York State, Cayman Islands, PRC or
other relevant foreign country authorities or (v) 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 that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or
together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment,
impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms
and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.
14. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the
execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
If, on any Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase
Shares that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number
of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to
purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on such
date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of
Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II bears to the aggregate number
of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such
other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters agreed
but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of
Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant
to this Section 14 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Shares without the written
consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail
or refuse to purchase Firm Shares and the aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to which
such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased
on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such Firm
Shares are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without
liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any
- 47 -
such case either
you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer
than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the
Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be
effected. If, on an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to
purchase Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to which such
default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Shares to be purchased
on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate
their obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Shares to be sold on such Option Closing Date
or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Additional Shares that such non-defaulting
Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action
taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect
of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any
failure or refusal on the part of any Seller to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the
conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason any Seller shall be unable to perform its
obligations under this Agreement, the Sellers will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters
as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket
expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such
Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
15. 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, the
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.
(b) Each of the Company and 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. Each of the
Company and the Selling Shareholders waive to the full extent permitted by applicable law any
claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in
connection with the offering of the Shares.

may effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of
any such proceeding and (iii) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such
suit, action or proceeding. Each of the Company and the Selling Shareholders irrevocably waives,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, any immunity to jurisdiction to which it may otherwise be

post-judgment attachment and execution) in any legal suit, action or proceeding against it arising
out of or based on this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby which is instituted in

upon whom process may be served in any such action arising out of or based on this Agreement or the

independent obligation of the Company and the Selling Shareholders and shall continue in full force
and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term rate of exchange
shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or
conversion into United States dollars.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned understands that Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc (Morgan Stanley),

ADS representing three ordinary shares of the Company at par value US$0.01 per share (the Ordinary

Representatives shall have determined to exercise the right to purchase such additional [1,800,000]

agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives on behalf of the
Underwriters, it will not, during the period commencing on the
Exhibit A-2
date hereof and ending 180 days after the Public Offering Date, make any demand for or

and registrar against the transfer of the undersigneds Ordinary Shares or ADSs except in
compliance with the foregoing restrictions. For purposes of this paragraph, immediate family
