Duoyuan Global Water Inc., a British Virgin Islands corporation (the “Company”), and the shareholders of the Company listed on Schedule I hereto (the “Selling Shareholders”) severally propose to sell to the several Underwriters named in Schedule II hereto (the “Underwriters”) an aggregate of 4,063,160 American Depositary Shares (the “Firm ADSs”) representing 8,126,320 ordinary shares, $0.000033 par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of the Company pursuant to the terms of this underwriting agreement (the “Agreement”). The Firm ADSs consist of 2,500,000 American Depositary Shares to be issued and sold by the Company and 1,563,160 American Depositary Shares to be sold by the Selling Shareholders. The Company has also granted to the several Underwriters an option to purchase up to 400,000 additional American Depositary Shares representing 800,000 Ordinary Shares, and GEEMF III Holdings MU, a private company limited by shares organized under the laws of the Republic of Mauritius (“GEF”), has also granted to the several Underwriters an option to purchase up to an aggregate of 200,000 additional American Depositary Shares representing 400,000 Ordinary Shares (collectively, the “Option ADSs”, and together with the Firm ADSs, the “ADSs”) on the terms and for the purposes set forth in Section 3 hereof. The Ordinary Shares represented by the Firm ADSs are hereinafter called the “Firm Shares” and the Ordinary Shares represented by the Option ADSs are hereinafter called the “Option Shares”, and the Firm Shares and any Option Shares purchased pursuant to this Agreement are herein collectively called the “Shares.”

The ADSs are to be issued pursuant to a deposit agreement (the “Deposit Agreement”), dated as of June 24, 2009, among the Company, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as depositary (the “Depositary”), and holders from time to time of the American Depositary Receipts (the “ADRs”) issued by the Depositary and evidencing the ADSs. Each ADS will initially represent the right to receive two Ordinary Shares deposited pursuant to the Deposit Agreement.

It is understood by all the parties that the Underwriters are offering the ADSs in the United States and internationally outside of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), which, for purposes of this Agreement only, excludes Taiwan, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Macau Special Administrative Region.

The Company, the Controlling Person and the Selling Shareholders hereby confirm their agreement with respect to the sale of the Shares and the ADSs to the several Underwriters, for whom Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. are acting as the representatives (the “Representatives”).

1. Registration Statement and Prospectus. A registration statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-164275) with respect to the Shares and the ADSs, including a preliminary form of prospectus, has been prepared by the Company in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the rules and regulations (the “Rules and Regulations”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) thereunder and has been filed with the Commission; one or more amendments (if any) to such registration statement have also been so prepared and have been, or will be, so filed; and, if the Company has elected to rely upon Rule 462(b) of the Rules and Regulations to increase the size of the offering registered under the Act, the Company will prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such increase pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Rules and Regulations. Copies of such registration statement(s) and amendments and each related preliminary prospectus have been delivered to the Representatives.

If the Company has elected not to rely upon Rule 430A of the Rules and Regulations, the Company has prepared and will promptly file an amendment to the registration statement and an amended prospectus. If the Company has elected to rely upon Rule 430A of the Rules and Regulations, it will prepare and file a prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations that discloses the information previously omitted from the prospectus in reliance upon Rule 430A of the Rules and Regulations. Each part of such registration statement as amended at the time it is or was declared effective by the Commission, and, in the event of any amendment thereto after the effective date, each part of such registration statement as so amended (but only from and after the effectiveness of such amendment, including a registration statement (if any) filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Rules and Regulations increasing the size of the offering registered under the Act, and information (if any) deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rules 430A(b) of the Rules and Regulations, is hereinafter called the “Registration Statement.” The prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time it is or was declared effective by the Commission is hereinafter called the “Prospectus,” except that if any prospectus filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations or any other such prospectus provided to the Underwriters by the Company for use in connection with the offering of the ADSs (whether or not required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations, but not including a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations) differs from the prospectus on file at the time the Registration Statement is or was declared effective by the Commission, the term “Prospectus” shall refer to such differing prospectus from and after the time such prospectus is filed with the Commission or transmitted to the Commission for filing pursuant to such Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations or from and after the time of its first use within the meaning of the

Rules and Regulations. The term “Preliminary Prospectus” as used herein means any preliminary prospectus included in the Registration Statement prior to the time it becomes or became effective under the Act and any prospectus subject to completion as described in Rule 430A of the Rules and Regulations. All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “described,” “contained,” “included” or “stated” in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (or other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the Rules and Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be. All references in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the ADS Registration Statement (as defined herein), the Form 8-A Registration Statement (as defined herein) or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval System (“XXXXX”), and shall be deemed to mean and include the subsequent filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) which is deemed to be incorporated therein by reference therein or otherwise deemed by the Rules and Regulations to be a part thereof.

3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of Shares and ADSs.

(a) On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to sell 2,500,000 Firm ADSs representing 5,000,000 Firm Shares, and each Selling Shareholder agrees, severally and not jointly, to sell the number of Firm ADSs set forth opposite the name of such Selling Shareholder in Schedule I hereto, to the several Underwriters, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company and the Selling Shareholders the number of Firm ADSs set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule II hereto. The purchase price for each Firm ADS shall be $[l] per ADS. The obligation of each Underwriter to the Company and the Selling Shareholders shall be to purchase from the Company and the Selling Shareholders that number of Firm ADSs set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule II hereto. In making this Agreement, each Underwriter is contracting severally and not jointly; except as provided in Section 3(c) and in Section 8 hereof, the agreement of each Underwriter is to purchase only the respective number of Firm ADSs specified in Schedule II hereto.

An executed transfer form for the Firm Shares represented by the Firm ADSs to be sold by each Selling Shareholder hereunder has been placed in custody, for delivery under this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement, with the Custodian. The Firm ADSs will be delivered by or on behalf of the Company and the Custodian to the Representatives for the accounts of the several Underwriters against payment of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of same day funds payable to the order of the Company and the Custodian, as appropriate, at the offices of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y., or such other location as may be mutually acceptable, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time on the third (or if the ADSs are priced, as contemplated by Rule 15c6-1(c) under the Exchange Act, after 4:30 p.m. Eastern time, the fourth) full business day following the date hereof, or at such other time and date as the Representatives and the Company determine pursuant to Rule 15c6-1(a) under the Exchange Act, such time and date of delivery being herein referred to as the “First Closing Date.” If the Representatives so elect, delivery of the Firm ADSs may be made by credit through full fast transfer to the accounts at The Depository Trust Company designated by the Representatives. Certificates representing the Firm ADSs (and the transfer form related thereto), in definitive form and in such denominations and registered in such names as the Representatives may request upon at least two business days’ prior notice to the Company and the Custodian, will be made available for checking and packaging not later than 10:30 a.m., Eastern time, on the business day next preceding the First Closing Date at the offices of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y., or such other location as may be mutually acceptable.

(b) On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company, with respect to 400,000 Option ADSs representing 800,000 Option Shares, and GEF, with respect to 200,000 Option ADSs representing 400,000 Option Shares, hereby grant to the several Underwriters an option to purchase all or any portion of the Option ADSs at the same purchase price as the Firm ADSs, for use solely in covering any over-allotments made by the Underwriters in the sale and distribution of the Firm ADSs. The option granted hereunder may be exercised in whole or in part at any time (but not more than once) within 30 days after the effective date of this Agreement upon notice (confirmed in writing) by the Representatives to the Company and the Custodian setting forth the aggregate number of Option ADSs as to which the several Underwriters are exercising the option, the names and denominations in which the certificates for the Option ADSs are to be registered and the date and time, as determined by the Representatives, when the Option ADSs are to be delivered, such time and date being herein referred to as the “Second Closing” and “Second Closing Date” (the First Closing Date or the Second Closing Date, each is herein referred to as a “Closing Date”), respectively; provided, however, that the Second Closing Date shall not be earlier than the First Closing Date nor earlier than the second business day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised. The number of Option ADSs to be purchased by each Underwriter shall be the same percentage of the total number of Option ADSs to be purchased by the several Underwriters as the number of Firm ADSs to be purchased by such Underwriter is of the total number of Firm ADSs to be purchased by the several Underwriters, as adjusted by the Representatives in such manner as the Representatives deem advisable to avoid fractional shares. No Option ADSs shall be sold and delivered unless the Firm ADSs previously have been, or simultaneously are, sold and delivered.

An executed transfer form for the Option Shares represented by the Option ADSs to be sold by GEF hereunder will be placed in custody, for delivery under this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement, with the Custodian. The Option ADSs will be delivered by or on behalf of the Company and the Custodian to the Representatives for the accounts of the several Underwriters against payment of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of same day funds payable to the order of the Company and the Custodian, at the offices of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y., or such other location as may be mutually acceptable at 9:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the Second Closing Date. If the Representatives so elect, delivery of the Option ADSs may be made by credit through full fast transfer to the accounts at The Depository Trust Company designated by the Representatives. Certificates representing the Option ADSs (and the transfer form related thereto) in definitive form and in such denominations and registered in such names as the Representatives have set forth in the Representatives’ notice of option exercise, will be made available for checking and packaging not later than 10:30 a.m., Eastern time, on the business day next preceding the Second Closing Date at the office of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y., or such other location as may be mutually acceptable.

(c) It is understood that the several Underwriters propose to offer the ADSs for sale to the public as set forth in the Prospectus. It is further understood that the Representatives, individually and not as the Representatives of the several Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment to the Company or the Selling Shareholders on behalf of any Underwriter for the ADSs to be purchased by such Underwriter. Any such payment by the Representatives shall not relieve any such Underwriter of any of its obligations hereunder. Nothing herein contained shall constitute any of the Underwriters an unincorporated association or partner with the Company or the Selling Shareholders.

4. Covenants.

(a) The Company covenants and agrees with the several Underwriters as follows:

(i) If the Registration Statement has not already been declared effective by the Commission, the Company will use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto to become effective as promptly as possible; the Company will notify the Representatives promptly of the time when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement to the Prospectus has been filed and of any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or additional information; if the Company has elected to rely on Rule 430A of the Rules and Regulations, the Company will prepare and file a Prospectus, in a form provided to the Representatives with reasonable time to review prior to filing, containing the information omitted therefrom pursuant to Rule 430A of the Rules and Regulations with the Commission within the time period required by, and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of, Rules 424(b) and 430A of the Rules and Regulations and advise the Representatives promptly of any such filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and 430A of the Rules and Regulations and provide satisfactory evidence to the Representatives of such timely filing; if the Company has elected to rely upon Rule 462(b) of the Rules and Regulations to increase the

(ii) After the date of this Agreement, the Company shall promptly advise the Representatives in writing (A) of the receipt of any comments of, or requests for additional or supplemental information relating to the Registration Statement from, the Commission, (B) of the time and date of any filing of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, (C) of the time and date that any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective, (D) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment thereto or preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, of the suspension of the qualification of the Shares or the ADSs for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose, or (E) of any proceedings to remove, suspend or terminate from listing or quotation the American Depositary Shares from any securities exchange upon which it is listed for trading or included or designated for quotation, or of the threatening or initiation of any proceedings for any of such purposes; and the Company will promptly use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such a stop order should be issued. Additionally, the Company agrees that it shall comply with the provisions of Rules 424(b) and 430A, as applicable, of the Rules and Regulations and will use its reasonable efforts to confirm that any filings made by the Company under Rule 424(b), Rule 433 or Rule 462 of the Rules and Regulations were received in a timely manner by the Commission.

If during such period any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus (or if the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package) would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading, or if

during such period it is necessary to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus (or if the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective investors, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package) to comply with the Act or to file under the Exchange Act any document which would be deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus in order to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act, the Company will promptly notify the Representatives and will amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus (or, if the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package) or file such document (at the expense of the Company) so as to correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance.

(B) If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, any Statutory Prospectus or the Prospectus relating to the Shares and the ADSs or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company has promptly notified or promptly will notify the Representatives and has promptly amended or will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.

(iv) The Company will take or cause to be taken all necessary action to qualify the ADSs and the Shares they represent for sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives reasonably designate and to continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the ADSs and the Shares they represent, except that the Company will not be required in connection therewith to qualify as a foreign corporation, to execute a general consent to service of process in any state, or to subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction if it is not otherwise so subject.

(v) The Company will furnish to the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters copies of the Registration Statement (three of which will be signed and will include all consents and exhibits filed therewith), each Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Representatives may from time to time reasonably request.

(vii) The Company will make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 15 months after the end of the Company’s

current fiscal quarter, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) covering a 12-month period beginning after the effective date of the Registration Statement that shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 of the Rules and Regulations.

If the sale of the ADSs and the Shares they represent provided for herein is not consummated by reason of action by the Company

(vi) Such Selling Shareholder shall deliver to the Custodian or the Representatives, as appropriate, prior to the First Closing Date, a properly completed and executed United States Treasury Department Form W-9 or applicable form W-8 (or other applicable form or statement specified by Treasury Department regulations in lieu thereof).

(viii) Such Selling Shareholder will not, directly or indirectly, use any of the proceeds it will receive from the sale of the ADSs 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 applicable regulations of the PRC Ministry of Commerce and the SAFE.

6. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company and Xx. Xxxxxx Xxx (the “Controlling Person”), jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company and/or such Controlling Person, as the case may be), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness and at any subsequent time pursuant to Rules 430A and 430(C) of the Rules and Regulations, if applicable, the ADS

Registration Statement, the Form 8-A Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs (“Marketing Materials”), including any roadshow or investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically) or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending against such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Controlling Person shall be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Form 8-A Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any Marketing Materials, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Representatives, or by any Underwriter through the Representatives, specifically for use in the preparation thereof; it being understood and agreed that the only information furnished by an Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 6(g) hereof.

In addition to their other obligations under this Section 6(a), the Company and the Controlling Person, jointly and severally, agree that, as an interim measure during the pendency of any claim, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding arising out of or based upon any statement or omission, or any alleged statement or omission, described in this Section 6(a), they will reimburse each Underwriter on a monthly basis for all reasonable legal fees or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding, notwithstanding the absence of a judicial determination as to the propriety and enforceability of the Company’s and/or the Controlling Person’s obligation to reimburse the Underwriters for such expenses and the possibility that such payments might later be held to have been improper by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that any such interim reimbursement payment is so held to have been improper, the Underwriter that received such payment shall promptly return it to the party or parties that made such payment, together with interest, compounded daily, determined on the basis of the prime rate (or other commercial lending rate for borrowers of the highest credit standing) announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A. (the “Prime Rate”). Any such interim reimbursement payments which are not made to an Underwriter within 30 days of a request for reimbursement shall bear interest at the Prime Rate from the date of such request. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liabilities which the Company or the Controlling Person may otherwise have.

(b) Each Selling Shareholder, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Selling Shareholder), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based

upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness and at any subsequent time pursuant to Rules 430A and 430(C) of the Rules and Regulations, if applicable, the ADS Registration Statement, the Form 8-A Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or in any Marketing Materials, including any roadshow or investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending against such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Form 8-A Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or in any Marketing Materials, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to such Selling Shareholder furnished to the Company or such Underwriter by such Selling Shareholder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that no Selling Shareholder shall be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Form 8-A Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any Marketing Materials, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Representatives, or by any Underwriter through the Representatives, specifically for use in the preparation thereof; it being understood and agreed that the only information furnished by an Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 6(g) hereof; provided, further, that in no event shall any Selling Shareholder’s liability hereunder exceed the aggregate amount of gross proceeds received by such Selling Shareholder from the sale of the ADSs and the Shares they represent pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Each Underwriter will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each Selling Shareholder, its directors and officers and the Controlling Person against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company, such Selling Shareholder and the Controlling Person may become subject, under the Act or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Underwriter), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Form 8-A Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Form 8-A Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any

such amendment or supplement, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Representatives, or by such Underwriter through the Representatives, specifically for use in the preparation thereof (it being understood and agreed that the only information furnished by an Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 6(g)) hereof, and will reimburse the Company, each Selling Shareholder and the Controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company, such Selling Shareholder or the Controlling Person in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party except to the extent such indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of the indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that if, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, it is advisable for the Underwriters to be represented as a group by separate counsel, the Representatives shall have the right to employ a single counsel (in addition to local counsel) to represent the Representatives and all Underwriters who may be subject to liability arising from any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Underwriters under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 6, in which event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying party or parties and reimbursed to the Underwriters as incurred (in accordance with the provisions of the second paragraph in subsection (a) above). An indemnifying party shall not be obligated under any settlement agreement relating to any action under this Section 6 to which it has not agreed in writing. In addition, no indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party for all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Controlling Person and/or the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the ADSs or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not

permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Controlling Person and/or the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other 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 Company and the Controlling Person and/or the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault 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 Company, the Controlling Person, the Selling Shareholders or the Underwriters and the parties’ relevant intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company, the Controlling Person, the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (e) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (e). The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending against any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (e). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the ADSs 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 and (ii) the liability under this subsection of the respective Selling Shareholder shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate gross proceeds to such Selling Shareholder from the sale of ADSs sold by such Selling Shareholder hereunder. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(f) The obligations of the Company, the Controlling Person and the Selling Shareholders under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company, the Controlling Person and the Selling Shareholders may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability that the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the Company (including any person who, with his consent, is named in the Registration Statement as about to become a director of the Company), to each officer of the Company who has signed the Registration Statement and to each person, if any, who controls the Company or the respective Selling Shareholder within the meaning of the Act.

(g) The Underwriters severally confirm and the Company, the Controlling Person and the Selling Shareholders acknowledge that the statements regarding the names and corresponding share amounts set forth in the table of the underwriters under the caption “Underwriting” and the concession and reallowance figures and the paragraph relating to stabilization by the Underwriters appearing under the caption “Underwriting” in the Statutory Prospectus and in the Prospectus are correct and constitute the only information concerning such Underwriters furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Form 8-A Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

7. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties, and agreements of the Company, the Controlling Person and the Selling Shareholders herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto, including without limitation the agreements of the several Underwriters, the Company, the Controlling Person and the Selling Shareholders contained in Section 6 hereof, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person thereof, or the Company or any Selling Shareholder or any of its officers, directors or the Controlling Person and shall survive delivery of, and payment for, the ADSs and the Shares they represent to and by the Underwriters hereunder.

8. Substitution of Underwriters.

(a) If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail to take up and pay for the amount of Firm ADSs agreed by such Underwriter or Underwriters to be purchased hereunder, upon tender of such Firm ADSs in accordance with the terms hereof, and the amount of Firm ADSs not purchased does not aggregate more than 10% of the total amount of Firm ADSs set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated to take up and pay for (in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations hereunder as set forth in Schedule II hereto except as may otherwise be determined by the Representatives) the Firm ADSs that the withdrawing or defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase.

(b) If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail to take up and pay for the amount of Firm ADSs agreed by such Underwriter or Underwriters to be purchased hereunder, upon tender of such Firm ADSs in accordance with the terms hereof, and the amount of Firm ADSs not purchased aggregates more than 10% of the total amount of Firm ADSs set forth in Schedule II hereto, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives for the purchase of such Firm ADSs by other persons are not made within 36 hours thereafter, this Agreement shall terminate. In the event of any such termination neither the Company nor the Selling Shareholders shall be under any liability to any Underwriter (except to the extent provided in Section 4(a)(viii), Section 4(b)(ii) and Section 6 hereof) nor shall any Underwriter (other than an Underwriter who shall have failed, otherwise than for some reason permitted under this Agreement, to purchase the amount of Firm ADSs agreed by such Underwriter to be purchased hereunder) be under any liability to the Company, the Selling Shareholders or the Controlling Person (except to the extent provided in Section 6 hereof).

If Firm ADSs to which a default relates are to be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriters or by any other party or parties, the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the First Closing Date for not more than seven business days in order that the necessary changes in the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or in any other documents, as well as any other arrangements, may be effected.

(b) The Representatives may terminate this Agreement by giving notice as hereinafter specified at any time at or prior to the First Closing Date, and the option referred to in Section 3(b) hereof, if exercised, may be cancelled at any time prior to the Second Closing Date, if (i) the Company, the Controlling Person or any Selling Shareholder shall have failed, refused or been unable, at or prior to such Closing Date, to perform any agreement on its part to be performed hereunder, (ii) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Time of Sale Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, shareholders’ equity, properties, management, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (iii) any other condition of the Underwriters’ obligations hereunder is not fulfilled, (iv) trading on the Nasdaq Global Market, New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange shall have been wholly suspended, (v) minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, on the Nasdaq Global Market, New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange, by such Exchange or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction, (vi) if a banking moratorium has been declared by the British Virgin Islands, the PRC or U.S. federal or New York authorities, or (vii) if there has occurred, after the date hereof and prior to the respective Closing Date, any material adverse change in the financial markets in the British Virgin Islands, the People’s Republic of China, the United States, Asian or international financial markets, any outbreak of hostiles or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change that, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to market the ADSs or to enforce contracts for the sale of the ADSs. Any such

termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 4(a)(viii), Section 4(b)(ii) and Section 6 hereof shall at all times be effective.

(c) If the Representatives elect to prevent this Agreement from becoming effective or to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section, the Company, GEF and an Attorney-in-Fact, on behalf of the Employee Selling Shareholders, shall be notified promptly by the Representatives by telephone, confirmed by letter.

In the event of a default by any Selling Shareholder as referred to in this Section, either the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the First Closing Date for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.

If the Company shall fail at the First Closing Date to sell and deliver the number of the ADSs and the Shares they represent which it is obligated to sell hereunder, then this Agreement shall terminate without any liability on the part of any non defaulting party.
