(h) settle or compromise any claims of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in excess of RMB3,000,000;

(j) agree to take any of the actions specified in Sections 6.01(a) — (i) above.

SECTION 6.02. Access to Information. From the date hereof until the Closing, upon reasonable notice, the Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Company, each Subsidiary of the Company and each of their respective Representatives to (i) afford the Purchaser and its authorized Representatives reasonable access to the offices, properties and books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries; and (ii) furnish to the authorized Representatives of the Purchaser such additional financial and operating data and other information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries (or copies thereof) as the Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request; provided, however, that any such access or furnishing of information shall be conducted at the Purchaser’s expense, during normal business hours, under the supervision of the Sellers’ personnel, and in such a manner as not to interfere with the normal operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Sellers shall not be required to provide any such access or disclose any such information to the Purchaser if such disclosure would, in the Sellers’ sole discretion, (i) cause significant competitive harm to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries if the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated; (ii) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege; or (iii) contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date hereof. When accessing any of the properties of the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, comply with all safety and security requirements for such property.

(b) Each of the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers on the other hand, agrees that, for the shorter of a period of seven (7) years following the Closing Date or for so long as such Party has the right to appoint a director to the Board of Directors of the Company, (i) it shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the other Party in connection with the other Party’s efforts to preserve the books and records of the Company and the other Party’s requests for reasonable access to the offices, properties, books and records and such additional financial and operating data and other information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as the other Party may from time to time reasonably request, (ii) it shall not directly or indirectly, impede or otherwise prevent access by the other Party or their authorized Representatives to such information reasonably requested by the other Party, and (iii) it shall refrain from taking any such action or using its board position(s) or shareholding voting power from preventing the other Party from gaining such information or access. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser on the one hand and the Sellers on the other hand, shall not be required to cooperate with the provision of or disclose any such information to the other Party if such disclosure would, in the sole discretion of the disclosing Party, (x) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege; or (y) contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date thereof.

SECTION 6.03. Confidentiality. (a) The terms of the letter agreement dated as of December 31, 2010 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) between the Company and the Purchaser are hereby incorporated herein by reference and shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing and shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until their expiration in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, however, that, upon the Closing, the confidentiality obligations contained in the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate in respect of that portion of the Evaluation Material (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) exclusively relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect.

(b) Nothing provided to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.02 shall in any way amend or diminish the Purchaser’s obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that any Evaluation Material made available to the Purchaser, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives pursuant to Section 6.02 or otherwise by the Sellers, its Affiliates (including the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) or any of their respective Representatives shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement.

SECTION 6.04. Regulatory and Other Authorizations; Notices and Consents. (a) Each of the Purchaser and the Sellers shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (or cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to obtain) all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of all Governmental Authorities and officials that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations pursuant to, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and will cooperate fully with the other parties in promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals. If any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or if any Law, executive order, decree, injunction or administrative order is enacted, entered, promulgated or enforced by a Governmental Authority that would make the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or would otherwise prohibit or materially impair or delay the consummation thereof, each of the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, shall cooperate in all respects with the other and use its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any and all objections as may be asserted with respect to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser and the Sellers shall not be required to take any commercially unreasonable action that substantially impairs the overall benefits expected to be realized from the consummation of the transactions set forth herein.

(b) The Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to give promptly such notices to third parties and use its or their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such third party consents and estoppel certificates as the Sellers and the Purchaser reasonably deem necessary or desirable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including, but not limited to, the Partial Release; provided, however, (i) none of the Sellers nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any obligation to pay money or give any guarantee or other consideration in connection with obtaining the consents or approvals referred to in this Section 6.04(b); and (ii) the obligations of the parties hereto to consummate the transactions

contemplated by this Agreement are not conditioned upon the consents, approvals or other requirements referred to in this Section 6.04(b). The Purchaser shall cooperate and use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Company and its Subsidiaries in giving such notices and obtaining such consents and estoppel certificates; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall have no obligation to give any guarantee or other consideration of any nature in connection with any such notice, consent or estoppel certificate or to consent to any change in the terms of any agreement or arrangement which the Purchaser in its reasonable discretion may deem adverse to the interests of the Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 6.05. Disclosure Schedules. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, the Sellers shall promptly disclose to Buyer in writing (solely in the form of an updated Disclosure Schedule) any material variances from the representations and warranties contained in Article III and Article IV, as applicable; provided, however, that any such updated information shall not amend or supplement the Disclosure Schedule delivered to the Purchaser on the date of this Agreement for any purpose under this Agreement (including, in particular, that any such updated information shall not preclude the Purchaser from seeking indemnification for any Losses resulting from any matter disclosed on any such updated Disclosure Schedule).

SECTION 6.06. Seller Undertaking. The Sellers shall, immediately following the Closing Date and for two years thereafter (the “Undertaking Duration”), vote all securities of the Company beneficially owned by them in favor of the approval of an appointment of any nominee of the Purchaser to the Board of Directors of the Company such that the Purchaser shall, during the Undertaking Duration, have no less than one nominee appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company.

SECTION 6.07. Further Action. (a) The parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law, and to execute and deliver such documents and other papers, as may be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(b) The Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, provide reasonable cooperation to the Purchaser to obtain, or caused to be obtained, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, and in no event later than three Business Days after Closing a copy of the updated Register of Members of the Company evidencing the Purchaser as the holder of the Sale Shares.

(c) Pursuant to the Assignment and Joinder, (i) the Sellers shall assign to the Purchaser the registration rights that adhere to the Sale Shares and (ii) the Purchaser shall agree to be bound by the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement.

(d) The Sellers shall, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, notify the Company in writing of the said transfer to the Purchaser of the Sale Shares and the assignment to the Purchaser of the Sellers’ registration rights in respect of the Sale Shares in accordance with Sections 2.3 and 2.6 of the Registration Rights Agreement.

(e) The Sellers shall, as soon as practicable after the date hereof, procure for the Purchaser true and complete copies of all or substantially all Leases and Ancillary Documents, to the extent they are not provided in the Company SEC Documents or previously provided to the Purchaser or its counsel.

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 8.01. Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of 15 months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that any claim made with reasonable specificity by the party seeking to be indemnified within the time periods set forth in this Section 8.01 shall survive until such claim is finally and fully resolved. None of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing other than those which by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing and such surviving covenants and agreements shall survive the Closing only until the expiration of the term of the undertaking set forth in such agreements and covenants.

SECTION 8.02. Indemnification by the Sellers. The Purchaser and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall from and after the Closing be indemnified and held harmless by the Sellers (the “Indemnifying Parties”) jointly and severally for and against all losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses) actually suffered or incurred by them (hereinafter a “Loss”), arising out of or resulting from (a) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Sellers contained in this Agreement; (b) the breach of any covenant or agreement by the Sellers contained in this Agreement; (c) any Taxes of the Sellers, including any liability for Taxes imposed on the Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for failure to withhold such Taxes of the Sellers; or (d) the settlement of any Action or Actions brought in respect of any facts or circumstances arising or existing prior to the date hereof for amounts in excess of the amount paid under the Company’s insurance coverage for such Action or Actions, which indemnification amount shall be in proportion to the percentage of the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares constituted by the sum of the Ordinary Shares acquired by the Purchaser from the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement and, if applicable, the Option Agreement, as of the date on which the Company pays such settlement amount in respect of such Action or Actions, as adjusted for any share splits, share dividends, share combinations, recapitalizations or the like. As an illustration of the foregoing clause (d), if the Company settles such an Action for $35 million in respect of which $15 million is paid for by the Company’s insurance, the Sellers will indemnify the Purchaser for an amount equal to $20 million multiplied by the percentage of the

SECTION 8.03. Limits on Indemnification. (a) No claim may be asserted nor may any Action be commenced against a party hereto for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein, unless written notice of such claim or Action is received by such party describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or Action on or prior to the date on which the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on which such claim or Action is based ceases to survive as set forth in Section 8.01.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (i) the Indemnifying Parties shall not be liable for any Losses pursuant to Sections 8.02(a) - (b), unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Indemnifying Parties exceeds $659,852, whereupon the Purchaser shall be entitled to indemnification for the amount of such Losses in excess of such amount; (ii) no Losses shall be included in calculating the aggregate Losses set forth in clause (i) above other than Losses in excess of $200,000 resulting from any single claim or series of related claims arising out of the same facts, events or circumstances; (iii) the maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Indemnifying Parties arising out of or resulting from the causes set forth in Sections 8.02(a) — (b) shall be an amount equal to $9,897,773; and (iv) no action or inaction by the Sellers, their Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement for any purpose hereunder, and none of the Purchaser, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives shall have any claim or recourse against the Sellers, their Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives with respect to such action or inaction, under this Article VIII or otherwise, if (A) the Sellers were required or permitted to take such action or required or permitted not to take such action, in each case, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or applicable Law, or (B) the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates has directed or requested the Indemnifying Parties, their Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives to take or not take such action.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, after the Closing, none of the parties hereto shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including loss of future profits, revenue or income, diminution in value or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable.

(d) Each Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, take all reasonable steps to mitigate its Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses, and no party shall be entitled to any payment, adjustment or indemnification more than once with respect to the same matter.

(e) In the event that a Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.02(a) to (c), all such payments shall be made by the Escrow Agent from the Escrow Fund.

SECTION 8.04. Notice of Loss; Third Party Claims. (a) An Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Parties notice of any matter which an Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, within 30 days of such determination, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises.

(b) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Action, audit, claim, demand or assessment against it (each, a “Third-Party Claim”), which may give rise to a claim for Loss under this Article VIII, within 30 days of the receipt of such notice (or within such shorter period as may be required to permit the Indemnifying Parties to respond to any such claim), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Parties notice of such Third-Party Claim together with copies of all notices and documents served on or received by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Parties shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim at their expense and through counsel of their choice if they give notice of their intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Parties elect to undertake any such defense against a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at its own expense. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Parties in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Parties, at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto (or in the possession or control of any of its Affiliates or its or their Representatives) as is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Parties or their counsel. If the Indemnifying Parties elect to direct the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of such Third-Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Parties consent in writing to such payment or unless the Indemnifying Parties withdraw from the defense of such Third-Party Claim liability or unless a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties is entered against the Indemnifying Parties for such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of any such Third-Party Claim pursuant to this Section 8.04 and proposes to settle such Third-Party Claim prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo any appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Parties prompt written notice thereof and the Indemnifying Parties shall have the right to participate in the settlement or assume or reassume the defense of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Parties. The Indemnifying Parties shall have the right to settle any Third-Party Claim for which they obtain a full release of the Indemnified Party in respect of such Third-Party Claim or to which settlement the Indemnified Party consents in writing, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

SECTION 8.05. Remedies. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that following the Closing (a) other than as provided in Section 10.10 (i) the

indemnification provisions of this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties for any breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and for any failure to perform and comply with any covenant or agreement in this Agreement; provided, however, that such limitation on the rights and remedies of any Indemnified Party shall not limit any recourse or remedy that may be available against any party that has defrauded such Indemnified Party; and (ii) any and all claims arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement must be brought under and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (b) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein shall give rise to any right on the part of any party hereto to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 8.06. Losses. (a) For all purposes of this Article VIII, “Losses” shall be net of (i) any recovery or benefit (including insurance and indemnification received from parties other than the Indemnifying Parties) payable to the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification and, if the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates receives such recovery or benefit after receipt of payment from the Indemnifying Party, then the amount of such recovery or benefit, net of reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery or benefit, shall be paid to the Indemnifying Party.

(b) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article VIII shall be reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Loss. In computing the amount of any such Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Loss.

SECTION 8.07. Purchase Price Adjustment. The Sellers and the Purchaser agree that any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Article VIII shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

SECTION 10.05. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Disclosure Schedule and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

SECTION 10.06. Assignment.

SECTION 10.07. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, the Sellers and the Purchaser that expressly references the Section of this Agreement to be amended; or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 10.08.

Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement.
