Purchaser’s obligation to commence the Offer shall be subject only to the condition that none of the events set forth in Sections 7.01(b)(i) through 7.01(b)(vi), 7.01(b)(ix), 7.01(b)(xii) and 7.01(b)(xiv) (disregarding the words “and continuing at the time of the expiration of the Offer” in the lead-in phrase in Section 7.01(b)) has occurred and is continuing, unless waived by Purchaser. The consummation of the Offer shall be subject only to the conditions set forth in Article 7 (the “Offer Conditions”). The date on which Purchaser commences the Offer is referred to as the “Offer Commencement Date”.

(b) Purchaser expressly reserves the right to waive any of the Offer Conditions and to make any change to the terms of or conditions to the Offer; provided that, without the prior written consent of the Company, Purchaser shall not:

(i) decrease the Offer Price;

(ii) change the form of consideration to be paid in the Offer;

(iii) decrease the Offer Size;

(iv) except as provided in Section 2.01(c) or required by Applicable Law, extend or otherwise change the expiration date of the Offer;

(v) impose conditions to the Offer in addition to those set forth in Article 7; or

(c) Unless extended as provided in this Agreement, the Offer shall expire on the date that is twenty (20) “business days” (as defined in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the 1934 Act and calculated as set forth therein) after the Offer Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Company, Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Offer, in its sole discretion, (i) from time to time if, at the scheduled or extended expiration date of the Offer, any of the Offer Conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived, until such Offer Conditions are satisfied or waived, provided that except with the consent of the Company, Purchaser shall not extend the Offer beyond the End Date, and (ii) for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the

SEC or the staff thereof applicable to the Offer or any period otherwise required by Applicable Law. The Offer may not be terminated prior to its expiration date (as such expiration date may be extended and re-extended in accordance with this Agreement), unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Article 8.

(d) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and to the satisfaction or waiver of the Offer Conditions, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause it to, accept for payment and pay for, as promptly as practicable after the expiration of the Offer (as it may be extended in accordance with Section 2.01(c)), all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer (the date on which Shares are accepted for payment under the Offer, the “Acceptance Date”), provided that the aggregate number of Shares that Purchaser shall be obliged to accept for payment and pay for shall not exceed the Offer Size.

(e) If the number of Shares that are validly tendered on or prior to the expiration of the Offer (as it may be extended in accordance with Section 2.01(c)) and not properly withdrawn exceeds the Offer Size, the number of Shares that Purchaser shall accept and pay for from each shareholder of the Company who has tendered Shares in the Offer shall be the number of Shares tendered and not properly withdrawn by such shareholder pursuant to the Offer reduced by an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of Shares representing the difference between the number of Shares that are validly tendered on or prior to the expiration of the Offer (as it may be extended in accordance with Section 2.01(c)) and not properly withdrawn and the Offer Size, and (y) the quotient of (A) the number of Shares tendered by such shareholder of the Company and not properly withdrawn as of the expiration of the Offer (as it may be extended in accordance with Section 2.01(c)), divided by (B) the aggregate number of Shares tendered by all shareholders of the Company and not properly withdrawn as of the expiration of the Offer (as it may be extended in accordance with Section 2.01(c)).

(f) Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the relevant Offer Price for any of the Shares acquired in the Offer, such amounts that Purchaser is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of Applicable Law, including with respect to share transfer Taxes payable by the seller. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Purchaser, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Purchaser.

Section 6.05. Obligations of Parent. (a) Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Offer on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(b) With effect from the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Company to adopt a policy under which all transactions or series of related transactions (i) between Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand and (ii) involving an amount exceeding the higher of (A) US$5 million and (B) 5% of the then current net asset value of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are subject to review and approval by the audit committee of the Company Board.

(b) On the Closing Date, the Company shall have in effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies for a claims reporting or discovery period of six years from the Closing Date, in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to such date covering each such Indemnified Person currently covered by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of the officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy of Parent in effect on the date hereof (after any adjustment due to the difference in market capitalization) or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay an annual premium for such insurance in excess of US$300,000. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Closing Date, which policies provide such directors and officers with coverage for an aggregate period of six years with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before such date, including in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.01, the Company shall be entitled to purchase such insurance prior to the Closing Date (the premiums for which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be counted toward the expenses referenced in Section 3.23(b)). If such prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall maintain such policies in full force and effect, and shall continue to honor its obligations thereunder.

(c) If Purchaser, Parent or the Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the

continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.06.
