(i) The audited consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company contained in the Form 20-F for the three years ended December 31, 2005 present fairly in all material respects the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as of the respective dates and for the respective periods to which they apply and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and comply as to form with the applicable requirements of Regulation S-X of the Act.

(ii) Subsequent to the date of the Company’s audited financial statements filed for the year ended December 31, 2005, except as disclosed therein or in any subsequent SEC Report, (A) none of the Group Companies has incurred any liabilities, direct or contingent, that are material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company, or has entered into any material transactions not in the ordinary course of business, (B) there has not been any material decrease in the Capital Stock or any material increase in long-term indebtedness or any material increase in short-term indebtedness of the Group Companies, or any payment of or declaration to pay any dividends or any other distribution with respect to the Group Companies, and (C) there has not been any material adverse change in the properties, business, operations, earnings, assets, liabilities or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Group Companies taken as a whole; excluding any changes caused by (x) the condition of the industry of the Company that do not disproportionately affect the Company, (y) the failure of the Company to meet its financial projections or (z) the execution and delivery of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (each of clauses (A), (B) and (C), a “Material Adverse Change”). To the knowledge of the Company, there is no event that is reasonably likely to occur in the foreseeable future, which if it were to occur, could, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Change.

None of the Group Companies intends to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it or any other Group Companies will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date.

(u) No Stabilization. None of the Group Companies has and, to each of its knowledge after due inquiry, no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in, or that has constituted or which might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of any of the Group Companies to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid anyone any compensation for soliciting purchases of, the Notes, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Group Companies.

(w) No Directed Selling Efforts.

In the ordinary course of its business, the Company periodically reviews the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Group Companies, in the course of which it identifies, estimates and evaluates associated costs and liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws, or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties).

(i) actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of the Group Companies or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents; or

(ii) any breach by any of the Group Companies or their respective Affiliates of any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in any Transaction Document,

and will reimburse the Indemnified Parties for all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) as they are incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, defending or settling any such action or claim, whether or not in connection with litigation in which any Indemnified Party is a named party. If any of the Indemnified Parties’ personnel appears as witnesses, are deposed or are otherwise involved in the defense of any action against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Parties will reimburse the Purchaser for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Purchaser by reason of any of the Indemnified Parties being involved in any such action.

(b) As promptly as reasonably practical after receipt by an Indemnified Party under this Section 10 of notice of the commencement of any action for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 10, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnified Party under this Section 10, notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof in writing; but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party (i) will not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability under paragraph (a) above unless and only to the extent it is materially prejudiced as a result thereof and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligations to any Indemnified Party otherwise than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) above. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party, and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may determine, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party) at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall authorize the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, then, in each such case, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party or parties and such Indemnified Party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel (including local counsel) to defend such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party or parties at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such Indemnified Party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 10 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, unless the Indemnified Party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that in connection with such action the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) in any one action or separate but substantially similar actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, representing the Indemnified Party who are parties to such action or actions). The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

(c) The indemnity and expense reimbursement obligations set forth herein (i) shall be in addition to any liability any of the Group Companies may otherwise have to any Indemnified Party, (ii) shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any other Indemnified Party and (iii) shall be binding on any successor or assign of the Group Companies or their respective business and assets.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraphs in this Section 10, each of the Group Companies and Mr. Tu Xxx Xxxx will, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against (i) any and all losses (including without limitation, losses arising from or as a result of a decrease in the value of the Company or the value of the Common Stock or the Notes) incurred by any member of the Indemnifies Parties and (ii) any and all claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, demands, damages, judgments, settlements, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, interest, penalties and attorneys’ and accounting fees and expenses) of any nature whatsoever, asserted against or imposed upon any member of the Indemnified Parties, in each case, by reason of or resulting from any breach or violation (whether such breach or violation was due to actions taken or failure to take actions, in whole or in part, prior to or after the date hereof) of laws, rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority by any of the Group Companies, Shareholders or Subsidiaries.

11. Termination.

(a) The Purchaser may terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing Date by written notice to the Company if any of the following has occurred:

(i) since the date hereof, any Material Adverse Effect or development involving or reasonably expected to result in a prospective Material Adverse Effect that could, in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, be expected to (A) make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in this Agreement and the Indenture or (B) materially impair the investment quality of any of the Securities;

(ii) the failure of any of the Group Companies or the Shareholders to satisfy the conditions contained in Section 9 on or prior to the Closing Date;

(iii) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis, including acts of terrorism, or material adverse change or disruption in economic conditions in, or in the financial markets of, the United States, the European Union, the Peoples’ Republic of China or Hong Kong (it being understood that any such change or disruption shall be relative to such conditions and markets as in effect on the date hereof), if the effect of such outbreak, escalation, calamity, crisis, act or material adverse change in the economic conditions in, or in the financial markets of, the United States, the European Union, the Peoples’ Republic of China or Hong Kong could be reasonably expected to make it, in the Purchaser’s sole judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the consummation of the transactions on the terms and in the manner contemplated in this Agreement or the Indenture;

(iv) trading in the Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Trading Market or the suspension or limitation of trading generally in securities on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the London Stock Exchange, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Capital Market or the NASDAQ Global Market or any setting of limitations on prices for securities on any such exchange or the NASDAQ Capital Market or the NASDAQ Global Market;

(v) the enactment, publication, decree or other promulgation after the date hereof of any Applicable Law that could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or

(vi) the declaration of a banking moratorium by any federal or New York state Governmental Authority; or the taking of any action by any Governmental Authority after the date hereof in respect of its monetary or fiscal affairs that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial markets in the United States, European Union, the Peoples’ Republic of China, Hong Kong or elsewhere.

(b) The Company may terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing Date by written notice to the Purchaser based upon the Purchaser’s intentional breach of its representations, warranties, covenants and obligations under this Agreement.

12. Survival of Representations and Indemnities. The representations and warranties, covenants, indemnities and contribution and expense reimbursement provisions and other agreements of any of the Group Companies and the Shareholder set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, and will survive, regardless of (i) any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the parties hereto, and (ii) acceptance of the Notes, and payment for them hereunder.

13. Substitution of Purchaser. The Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both the Purchaser and such Affiliate, shall contain such Affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 8. Upon receipt of such notice, wherever the word “Purchaser” is used in this Agreement (other than in this Section 13), such word shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of the original Purchaser. In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as a purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to the original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, wherever the word “Purchaser” is used in this Agreement (other than in this Section 13), such word shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to the original Purchaser, and the original Purchaser shall have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

(g) No failure to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.
