Equity Commitment (a) This letter agreement confirms the commitment of each Sponsor, severally and not jointly, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, simultaneous with the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), to purchase, or to cause the purchase of, at or immediately prior to the Effective Time, equity interests of Parent (or one or more affiliates of Parent organized to consummate the Merger) at a purchase price equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration and to pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent in immediately available funds at or prior to the Closing an aggregate cash purchase price for such purchase equal to the amount set forth opposite such Sponsor’s name on Schedule A hereto (such amount with respect to each Sponsor, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1(b) below, is referred to as such Sponsor’s “Equity Commitment”), which will be used by Parent solely for the purpose of funding the aggregate Merger consideration required to be paid by Parent to consummate the Merger, and all other amounts constituting the Exchange Fund pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Merger Agreement, together with related fees and expenses; provided that (i) no Sponsor shall, under any circumstances, be obligated to contribute more than its Equity Commitment to Parent, and the Sponsors, collectively, shall not, under any circumstances, be obligated to contribute more than US$79,500,000 (the “Aggregate Commitment”) to Parent; and (ii) the liability of each Sponsor hereunder shall not exceed its Equity Commitment, and the liability of the Sponsors, collectively, shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment.

No Sponsor will be under any obligation under any circumstances to contribute more than the amount of its Equity Commitment to Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person. In the event Parent does not require an amount equal to the Aggregate Commitment in order to consummate the Merger, the amount of each Sponsor’s Equity Commitment to be funded under this letter agreement shall be reduced by Parent on a pro rata basis, to the level sufficient for, in combination with any other financing arrangements that may be contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and pay all related fees and expenses incurred or required to be paid by Parent or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement.
