1. Sale and Purchase.

(a) Upon the basis of the representations and warranties and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the purchasers procured by the International Underwriters, or failing which, the several International Underwriters, and each of the International Underwriters, severally (and not jointly or jointly and severally), agrees to procure purchasers to purchase or, failing which, to purchase itself from the Company, the number of U.S. Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such International Underwriter in SCHEDULE I-B hereto (subject to any reallocation by the Joint Representatives of Offer Shares between the International Offering and the Hong Kong Public Offering and subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 8 hereof), at the International Offering Price.

5

In addition, the Company hereby grants to the several International Underwriters the option (the “Over-allotment Option”) to procure purchasers to purchase (or, failing which, to purchase themselves), and upon the basis of the representations and warranties and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the International Underwriters shall have the right, severally (and not jointly or jointly and severally), to procure purchasers to purchase or, failing which, to purchase itself, from the Company, ratably in accordance with the number of U.S. Firm Shares to be purchased by the purchasers procured by each International Underwriter or by such International Underwriter itself, all or a portion of the U.S. Option Shares as may be necessary to, among other things, cover over-allotments made in connection with the offering of the U.S. Firm Shares, at the International Offering Price. The Over-allotment Option may be exercised by the Joint Representatives at their sole and absolute discretion on behalf of the several International Underwriters at any time and from time to time on or before the expiration of the period of thirty (30) calendar days after the last day for the lodging of applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering (the “Option Expiration Date”), by written notice, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit E hereto, to the Company.

Upon any exercise of the Over-allotment Option, the number of U.S. Option Shares to be purchased by purchasers procured by each International Underwriter (or, failing which, each such International Underwriter) shall be the number (subject to such adjustment as the Joint Representatives may determine to avoid fractional shares) which bears the same proportion to the total number of U.S. Option Shares being purchased by the several International Underwriters pursuant to such exercise as the number of U.S. Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such International Underwriter in SCHEDULE I-B hereto bears to the total number of U.S. Firm Shares (subject to any reallocation by the Joint Representatives of Offer Shares between the International Offering and the Hong Kong Public Offering), subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 8 hereof.

6

Upon the authorization by the Joint Representatives of the release of the U.S. Firm Shares, the several International Underwriters propose to offer the U.S. Firm Shares for sale. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the sale of International Offer Shares by each International Underwriter shall be by it as agent of the Company under applicable Laws to procure purchasers for International Offer Shares (in which case the purchase obligation of such International Underwriter under this subsection (a) shall be reduced pro tanto) or, failing which, as principal to purchase International Offer Shares itself or through its Affiliates, and, accordingly, the Company appoints the International Underwriters as agents under applicable Laws and confers on them the powers, authority and discretion on behalf of the Company that are necessary solely to procure purchasers for the International Offer Shares upon the basis of the representations and warranties and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth; provided, however, that any International Underwriter selling International Offer Shares as agent of the Company pursuant to this subsection (a) and under applicable Laws will remain obligated to pay to the Company the International Offering Price for such International Offer Shares as if such International Underwriter were purchasing such International Offer Shares as principal. In view of the foregoing, a purchase of International Offer Shares may include a subscription for International Offer Shares of the Company and a sale of International Offer Shares may include an allotment of International Offer Shares by the Company.

(i) if the number of Hong Kong Offer Shares validly applied for under the Hong Kong Public Offering represents 15 times or more but less than 50 times the number of Hong Kong Offer Shares initially available under the Hong Kong Public Offering, then U.S. Firm Shares will be reallocated to the Hong Kong Public Offering from the International Offering so that the total number of Hong Kong Offer Shares available under the Hong Kong Public Offering will be 8,550,000 Offer Shares, representing approximately 9% of the total number of Offer Shares (excluding the U.S. Option Shares);

(ii) if the number of Hong Kong Offer Shares validly applied for under the Hong Kong Public Offering represents 50 times or more but less than 100 times the number of Hong Kong Offer Shares initially available under the Hong Kong Public Offering, then U.S. Firm Shares will be reallocated to the Hong Kong Public Offering from the International Offering so that the total number of Hong Kong Offer Shares available under the Hong Kong Public Offering will be 9,500,000 Offer Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Offer Shares (excluding the U.S. Option Shares);

7

(iii) if the number of Hong Kong Offer Shares validly applied for under the Hong Kong Public Offering represents 100 times or more the number of Hong Kong Offer Shares initially available under the Hong Kong Public Offering, then U.S. Firm Shares will be reallocated to the Hong Kong Public Offering from the International Offering so that the total number of Hong Kong Offer Shares available under the Hong Kong Public Offering will be 11,400,000 Offer Shares, representing 12% of the total number of Offer Shares (excluding the U.S. Option Shares); and

and, in each of the cases of reallocation of U.S. Firm Shares to the Hong Kong Public Offering described in clauses (A)(i) through (iv) above (such reallocated U.S. Firm Shares being referred to herein as the “Reallocated Shares”), the number of U.S. Firm Shares available under the International Offering will be correspondingly reduced in such manner as the Joint Representatives may in their sole and absolute discretion determine, and the Reallocated Shares will be delivered to investors in the Hong Kong Public Offering specified by the Joint Representatives in the same manner and at the same time as the Hong Kong Offer Shares originally included in the Hong Kong Public Offering, provided that the International Underwriters shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the gross commission on the Reallocated Shares (which gross commission is to be calculated in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section 1 so that, expressed as a percentage, such commission shall be the same per Reallocated Share as per International Offer Share) out of the amounts payable to the Company hereunder and no commission shall be payable by the Company to the Hong Kong Underwriters on any of the Reallocated Shares; provided, further, that the International Underwriters shall have no further payment or other obligations to the Company with respect to the Reallocated Shares; and

(c) In consideration of the agreement of the International Underwriters to purchase or procure purchasers for the International Offer Shares, the Company agrees to pay to the Joint Representatives (on behalf of the International Underwriters) a gross commission per International Offer Share (including each Unsold Share reallocated to the International Offering pursuant to this Section 1) and per Reallocated Share reallocated to the Hong Kong Public Offering pursuant to this Section 1 which is equal to 1% of the International Offering Price (“International Underwriting Commission”) and a gross commission per Hong Kong Offer Share to the Hong Kong Underwriters, which is equal to 1% of the Hong Kong Offering Price (excluding any International Offer Shares reallocated to the Hong Kong Public Offering and any Hong Kong Offer Shares reallocated to the International Offering) (the “Hong Kong Underwriting Commission,” together with International Underwriting Commission, (together, the “Underwriting Commission”), out of which the International Underwriters will pay any sub-underwriting commissions and other fees payable. The respective entitlements of the International Underwriters to the International Underwriting Commissions will be paid in proportion to the International Public Offering Underwriting Commitment of each International Underwriter. The Joint Representatives shall allocate the Total Transaction Fees (as defined in Section 2(d) below) or the Option Transaction Fees (if any) (as defined in Section 2(e) below) to all Underwriters in proportion to the respective Total Underwriting Commitment as set forth in SCHEDULE I-A hereto.

(d) In connection with the Global Offering, BAML is expected to act as stabilization manager (the “Stabilization Manager”) through its affiliates and may (but shall not be obliged to, and not as agent of the Company), to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, over-allocate or effect transactions in the market or otherwise (in Hong Kong or elsewhere) with a view to stabilizing or maintaining the market price of the Shares at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail in the open market for a limited period after the date on which the Hong Kong Offering Price and the International Offering Price are fixed for the purposes of the Global Offering (the “Price Determination Date”) in the Shares. The Stabilization Manager may, in its sole and absolute discretion, appoint any person to be its agent for the purposes of taking any stabilization action pursuant to this subsection (d). Any such agent shall have the rights and authorities conferred upon the Stabilization Manager pursuant to this subsection (d). Stabilization action taken pursuant to this subsection (d), if commenced, may be discontinued at any time at the sole and absolute discretion of the Stabilization Manager or any person acting for it. Each of the International Underwriters (other than the Stabilization Manager or any person acting for it) hereby undertakes severally (and not jointly or jointly and severally) to each other party to this Agreement that it will not take or cause or authorize any person to take, and shall cause its Affiliates and/or agents not to take, directly or indirectly, any stabilization action or any action which is designed to or which constitutes or which might be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or maintenance of the price of any security of the Company. All liabilities, expenses and losses arising from stabilization activities and transactions effected by the Stabilization Manager or any person acting for it as Stabilization Manager shall be borne by the International Underwriters in the same proportions, as nearly as may be practicable, as the percentage of the number of U.S. Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such International Underwriter in SCHEDULE I-B hereto. All profits or gains arising from stabilizing activities and transactions effected by the Stabilization Manager or any person acting for it as Stabilization Manager shall be for the account of the Joint Sponsors (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not any of the International Underwriters) on a pro rata basis, in the same proportions, as nearly as may be practicable, as the percentage of the number of U.S. Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such International Underwriter in SCHEDULE I-B hereto.

(e) Each International Underwriter shall bear the payment of any cost, trading fee, transaction levy chargeable in connection with or tax or stamp duty arising from any allocation or transfer of shares borrowed under the Stock Borrowing Agreement (as defined below) by the Stabilization Manager [or any International Underwriter to investors under the International Offering]. Such payment will be shared in proportion to their respective underwriting commitment as set forth in SCHEDULE I-A hereto.

(f) Any expenses incurred in connection with funding amounts payable to the Company at a Time of Delivery (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any intra-day funding costs attributable to the Stabilization Manager as clearing bank) shall be borne by each Joint Representative in proportion to their respective underwriting commitment as set forth in SCHEDULE I-A hereto.

32

8. Increase in International Underwriters’ Commitments. Subject to Sections 6 and 7 hereof, if any International Underwriter shall default in its obligation to take up and pay for the International Offer Shares to be purchased by purchasers procured by it (or, failing which, such International Underwriter itself) hereunder (otherwise than for a failure of a condition precedent set forth in Section 6 hereof or a reason sufficient to justify the termination of this Agreement under subsection (c) of Section 7 hereof) and if the total number of International Offer Shares which such defaulting International Underwriter or International Underwriters shall have agreed but failed to take up and pay for does not exceed 10% of the total number of International Offer Shares which all International Underwriters agreed to purchase hereunder, the non-defaulting International Underwriters (including International Underwriters substituted pursuant to the next following paragraph) shall take up and pay for (in addition to the aggregate number of International Offer Shares they are obligated to purchase pursuant to Section 1 hereof) the number of U.S. Firm Shares agreed to be purchased by all such defaulting International Underwriters, as hereinafter provided. Such International Offer Shares shall be taken up and paid for by such non-defaulting International Underwriters in such amount or amounts as the Joint Representatives may designate with the consent of each non-defaulting International Underwriter so designated or, in the event no such designation is made, such International Offer Shares shall be taken up and paid for by all non-defaulting International Underwriters pro rata in proportion to the aggregate number of U.S. Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of such non-defaulting International Underwriters in SCHEDULE I-B hereto.

The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, select a party or parties as a new International Underwriter or International Underwriters in substitution for a defaulting International Underwriter or International Underwriters.

Without relieving any defaulting International Underwriter from its obligations hereunder, the Company agrees with the non-defaulting International Underwriters that it will not sell any International Offer Shares hereunder unless all of the International Offer Shares are purchased by the International Underwriters (including International Underwriters substituted pursuant to the foregoing paragraph).

If a substitution of a new International Underwriter or International Underwriters is made in the manner set forth above, the Company or the International Underwriters shall have the right to postpone the First Time of Delivery for a period not exceeding seven business days in order that any changes that the Joint Representatives consider necessary to be made to the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and other documents and arrangements may be effected, and the Company agrees to make promptly any such changes.

33

The term “International Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall refer to and include any International Underwriter substituted under this Section 8 with like effect as if such substituted International Underwriter had originally been named as Underwriters hereto.

If the aggregate number of International Offer Shares which the defaulting International Underwriter or International Underwriters agreed to purchase exceeds 10% of the total number of International Offer Shares which all International Underwriters agreed to purchase hereunder, and if neither the non-defaulting International Underwriters nor the Company shall make arrangements within the period of seven business days stated above for the purchase of all the International Offer Shares which the defaulting International Underwriter or International Underwriters agreed to purchase hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate without further act or deed and without any obligation or liability on the part of the Company hereunder (except as provided in Section 9 hereof) and without any obligation or liability on the part of any non-defaulting International Underwriter to the Company (except as provided in Section 9 hereof) or to any other International Underwriter hereunder. Nothing in this Section 8, and no action taken hereunder, shall relieve any defaulting International Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such International Underwriter under this Agreement.

9. Indemnity and Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify (on an after-Taxation basis), defend and hold harmless each of the Joint Sponsors, Joint Representatives, Joint Global Coordinators and International Underwriters and their respective head offices, branches, associates and Affiliates, and the respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents and members of any of the foregoing persons, any person who controls any such Joint Sponsor, Joint Representatives, Joint Global Coordinator and International Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against all losses, liabilities, damages, payments, costs, charges, expenses and Taxation (collectively, “Losses” and individually, a “Loss”) and all actions, suits and proceedings (including, without limitation, any investigation or inquiry by or before any Authority) and claims (whether or not any such claim involves or results in any action, suit or proceeding) (collectively, “Proceedings” and individually, a “Proceeding”) which, jointly or severally, any such Joint Sponsor, Joint Representatives, Joint Global Coordinator, International Underwriter or any such person may incur or become subject to under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, other U.S. Federal or state statutory law or regulations or the common law, or with respect to any Authority, or otherwise (including, without limitation, all payments, costs, charges, fees and expenses arising out of or in connection with the investigation, response to, defense or settlement or compromise of, or the enforcement of any settlement or compromise or judgment obtained with respect to, any such Loss or any such Proceeding), insofar as such Loss or Proceeding, directly or indirectly, arises out of or is based upon:

(B) the offer, allotment, issue, sale or delivery of the Offer Shares;

35

(C) any breach or alleged breach on the part of the Company of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Hong Kong Underwriting Agreement, the Articles of Association or applicable Laws;

(D) any of the Warranties being untrue, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect or having been breached in any material respect or being alleged to be untrue, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect or alleged to have been breached in any material respect;;

(G) any failure or alleged failure by any of the Directors to comply with their respective obligations under the Listing Rules;

(H) any breach or alleged breach by any member of the Group of applicable Laws; or

(I) any other matter arising in connection with Global Offering.

provided that the indemnity provided for in this Clause 9(a)(E), shall not, except in relation to the matters as provided in Clause 3.7 of the Hong Kong Underwriting Agreement, apply in respect of any Indemnified Party (as defined below) if any such Losses suffered or incurred by such Indemnified Party is finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or a properly constituted arbitral panel (as the case may be) to have arisen solely out of the gross negligence, willful default or fraud on the part of such Indemnified Party.

This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have.

36

(b) Each International Underwriter, severally (but not jointly or jointly and severally), agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company from and against any Loss and Proceeding which the Company may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such Loss or Proceeding arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with, information concerning such International Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such International Underwriter through the Joint Representatives to the Company expressly and specifically for use in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Testing-the-Waters Communication (including any amendment or supplement thereto) or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact therein in connection with such information, which material fact was not contained in such information and which material fact was necessary in order to make the statements in such information, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the parties acknowledge and agree that for the purpose of this Section 9 hereunder, the only information furnished to the Company by any International Underwriters through the Joint Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Testing-the-Waters Communication consists of the information described as such in Section 10 hereof.

(c) If any Proceeding is brought against a person (an “Indemnified Party”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company, a Joint Sponsor, a Joint Representative, a Joint Global Coordinator or an International Underwriter (as applicable, the “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to either subsection (a) or (b), respectively, of this Section 9 above, such Indemnified Party shall, subject to any restrictions imposed by any Law or obligation of confidentiality, promptly notify such Indemnifying Party in writing of the institution of such Proceeding; provided, however, that the omission to so notify such Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability which such Indemnifying Party may have to any Indemnified Party under this Section 9 or otherwise.

37

The Indemnifying Party may participate at its expense in the defense of such Proceeding including appointing counsel at its expense to act for it in such Proceeding; provided, however, that counsel to the Indemnifying Party shall not (except with the consent of any Indemnified Party or Parties) also be counsel to the Indemnified Party or Parties. Unless such Indemnified Party or Parties consent to counsel to the Indemnifying Party acting as counsel to the Indemnified Party or Parties in such Proceeding, any Indemnified Party or Parties shall have the right to appoint its or their own separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) in such Proceeding; provided, however, that the giving of such consent or the appointment of such separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) shall be determined, as applicable, by the Joint Representatives (in the case of such Indemnified Party or Parties being any International Underwriter, its partners, directors, officers and members, any person who controls any such International Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, any Affiliate of any such International Underwriter, and/or any successors and assigns of any of the foregoing persons), the Joint Sponsors or by the Company, as applicable. The fees and expenses of separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) to the Indemnified Party or Parties shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that such Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the Indemnified Party or Parties who is or are parties to such Proceeding or Proceedings).

The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement or compromise by the Indemnified Party or Parties of, or any judgment consented to by the Indemnified Party or Parties with respect to, any pending or threatened Proceeding, whether effected with or without the consent of such Indemnifying Party, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party or Parties from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement, compromise or consent judgement. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could be or could have been a party and indemnity or contribution could be or could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent judgment includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this section, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

38

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 9 or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless in respect of any Losses or Proceedings referred to therein, then each applicable Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses or Proceedings (A) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand, and by the International Underwriters on the other hand, from the International Offering or (B) if the allocation provided by clause (A) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (A) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand, and of the International Underwriters on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses or Proceedings, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand, and by the International Underwriters on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions which the total proceeds from the International Offering (net of the total commissions received by the International Underwriters pursuant to Section 1 hereof but before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total commissions received by the International Underwriters pursuant to Section 1 hereof, bear to the aggregate Offer Price of the International Offer Shares. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand, and of the International Underwriters on the other hand, 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 or by the International Underwriters, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) The Company and the International Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the International Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in subsection (d) of this Section 9. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Losses or Proceedings referred to above in subsection (d) of this Section 9 shall include all legal and other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending such Losses or Proceedings. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no International Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the commission received by such International Underwriter pursuant to Section 1 hereof exceeds the amount of any damage that such International Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The International Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint. The Company’s obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 will be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have.

39

(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 and the covenants, warranties and representations and other statements of the Company contained in, or made by or on behalf of it pursuant to, this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any International Underwriter, its partners, directors, officers or members, any person (including each partner, director, officer or member of such person) who controls any International Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or any branch, associate or Affiliate of any International Underwriter, or by or on behalf of the Company, any supervisor, director or officer of the Company, or any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the issuance and delivery of and payment for the Offer Shares.

(g) The remedies provided for in paragraphs (a) through (f) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

10. Information Furnished by the International Underwriters. The Company acknowledges and agrees that for the purposes of this Agreement (including Section 9), the only information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any International Underwriter through the Joint Representatives expressly and specifically for use in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Testing-the-Waters Communication is the name, logo and address of such International Underwriter appearing in the “Underwriting” section in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

40

11. Repetition of Representations and Warranties. For the purposes of this Agreement, if an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus is announced, issued, published, distributed or otherwise made available subsequent to the Time of Sale pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, the representations and warranties and other statements of the Company contained in, or made by or on behalf of it pursuant to, this Agreement relating to the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus shall be deemed to be repeated on the date of such amendment or supplement and when so repeated, such representations and warranties and other statements shall be read and construed subject to the provisions of this Agreement as if the references therein to the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus means the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus when read together with such amendment or supplement.

12. Notices.

The Company hereby irrevocably consents to personal jurisdiction, service and venue in any New York Court in which any action, proceeding, claim or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement is brought by any third party against any International Underwriter or any Indemnified Party entitled to seek indemnity against the Company hereunder. Each International Underwriter and the Company (on its behalf and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on behalf of its shareholders and Affiliates) each irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding, claim or counterclaim (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The Company irrevocably agrees that a final judgment in any such action, proceeding, claim or counterclaim brought in any New York court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and may be enforced in any other courts to the jurisdiction of which the Company is or may be subject, by suit upon such judgment.

42

15. Judgment Currency Indemnity. In respect of any judgment or order or award given or made for any amount due hereunder to the International Underwriters that is expressed and paid in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than United States dollars, the Company shall indemnify each International Underwriter against any loss incurred by such International Underwriter as a result of any variation as between (A) the rate of exchange at which the United States dollar amount is converted into the judgment currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (B) the rate of exchange at which such International Underwriter is able to purchase United States dollars with the amount of the judgment currency actually received by such International Underwriter.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that you, as the joint representatives (the “Joint Representatives”), propose to enter into underwriting agreements (collectively, the “Underwriting Agreements”) on behalf of the International Underwriters and the Hong Kong Underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”), with Baidu, Inc., an exempted company with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), providing for a global offering (the “Global Offering”) of Class A ordinary shares of the Company, par value US$0.000000625 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), pursuant to (1) a Hong Kong prospectus in connection with the public offering of Ordinary Shares in Hong Kong and (2) a Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-254035) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) (collectively, the “Offering Documents”). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Offering Documents.

In consideration of the agreement by the Underwriters to offer and sell the Offer Shares, and of other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Joint Representatives (for themselves and on behalf of the Underwriters), during the period specified in the following paragraph (the “Lock-Up Period”) the undersigned will not, and will not cause any direct or indirect affiliate to, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) or Ordinary Shares or any securities of the Company that are substantially similar to the ADSs or Ordinary Shares, or any options or warrants to purchase any ADSs, Ordinary Shares or any securities of the Company that are substantially similar to the ADSs or Ordinary Shares, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive ADSs, Ordinary Shares or any securities of the Company that are substantially similar to the ADSs or Ordinary Shares, whether now owned or hereinafter acquired, owned directly by the undersigned (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the undersigned has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the SEC and/or the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of The Laws of Hong Kong) (collectively the “Lock-Up Securities”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purpose of this letter agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”), the term “Lock-Up Securities” shall not include, and nothing in this Lock-Up Agreement shall prohibit any transaction relating only to, (i) ADSs or Ordinary Shares of the Company purchased in open market transactions after the Public Offering Date (as defined below), or (ii) ADSs or Ordinary Shares of the Company acquired in private transactions after the Public Offering Date from third parties to the extent such acquired ADSs or Ordinary Shares are not subject to any lock-up or similar transfer restrictions.

The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from (i) engaging in any hedging or other or arrangements (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or instrument, however described or defined) which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition or transfer (whether by the undersigned or any other person) of any economic consequences of ownership, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, of any Lock-Up Securities (even if such Lock-Up Securities would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned) whether any such transaction or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise; and (ii) entering into any hedging, swap or other agreement or transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise; (iii) make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Lock-Up Securities, or (4) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put or call option) with respect to any of the Lock-Up Securities or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such Lock-Up Securities.

The Lock-Up Period will commence on the date of this Lock-Up Agreement and will end at the close of business of the 90^th day after the date of listing of Ordinary Shares on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Public Offering Date”).

In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Joint Representatives (for themselves and on behalf of the Underwriters), it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of the Lock-Up Securities where such registration would be filed during the Lock-Up Period provided in the foregoing paragraph (or extension thereof pursuant to this Lock-Up Agreement). If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, the undersigned further agrees that the foregoing provisions shall be equally applicable to any Company-directed securities the undersigned may purchase in the Global Offering.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the Lock-Up Securities (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts to a charitable or not-for-profit organization or educational institution; (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, or if the undersigned is a trust, to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust, provided that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (iii) by will or intestate succession upon the death of the undersigned, (iv) by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order, divorce settlement, divorce decree or separation agreement, (v) by surrender or forfeiture of any Lock-Up Securities to the Company or sale or transfer of any Lock-Up Securities to satisfy (x) tax withholding obligations upon exercise or vesting or (y) the exercise price upon a cashless net exercise, in each case, of share options, equity awards, warrants or other right to acquire Ordinary Shares or ADSs pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans described in the Offering Documents, (vi) to the Company or an affiliate of the Company arising as a result of the termination of employment or directorship of the undersigned and pursuant to employment agreements under which the Company or such affiliate of the Company has the option to repurchase such Lock-Up Securities or a right of first refusal with respect to transfers of such Lock-Up Securities, provided that any filing made pursuant to the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of The Laws of Hong Kong) shall include a footnote noting the circumstances described in this clause, (vii) with the prior written consent of Joint Representatives (for themselves and on behalf of the Underwriters); (viii) to a partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which the undersigned and the immediate family of the undersigned are the legal and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding equity securities or similar interests; or (ix) to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under clauses (i) through (viii) above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Lock-Up Agreement shall prohibit the exercise of any option, warrant or other rights to acquire the Company’s Ordinary Shares, ADSs or other securities, the settlement of any restricted share units or the conversion of any convertible security into Ordinary Shares or ADSs, in each case as described in the Offering Documents. In addition, with respect to clauses (i) and (ix) above, it shall be a condition to such transfer that no filing under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) nor any other public filing or disclosure of such transfer by or on behalf of the undersigned shall be required or voluntarily made during the Lock-Up Period and prior to such transfer or distribution, the transferee, donee, trustee or distributee agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein. For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, domestic partnership, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity, the undersigned may transfer the Lock-Up Securities (A) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity that is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the undersigned, or to any investment fund or other entity controlling, controlled by, managing or managed by or under common control with the undersigned or affiliates of the undersigned (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where the undersigned is a partnership, to its general partner or a successor partnership or fund, or any other funds managed by such partnership), or (B) as part of a distribution to members or shareholders of the undersigned; provided, however, that in any such case, it shall be a condition to the transfer that the transferee execute an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding such Lock-Up Securities subject to the provisions of this Lock-Up Agreement and there shall be no further transfer of such Lock-Up Securities except in accordance with this Lock-Up Agreement, and provided further that any such transfer pursuant to clauses (A) and (B) shall not involve a disposition for value and no public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act or any other applicable laws and regulations regarding thereof shall be required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company.

Furthermore, nothing in this Lock-Up Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the undersigned from establishing any contract, instruction or plan (a “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of ADSs or Ordinary Shares; provided that (x) such Plan does not provide for the transfer of the Lock-Up Securities during the Lock-Up Period and (y) no public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act regarding the establishment of such Plan shall be required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, nothing in this Lock-Up Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the registration of the offering and sales of the Company’s securities as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreements and the sales of the securities to the Underwriters in the Global Offering.

The undersigned now has, and, except as contemplated by the above, for the duration of this Lock-Up Agreement will have, good and marketable title to the Lock-Up Securities, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims whatsoever. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar and the depositary for the ADSs against the transfer of the Lock-Up Securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this Lock-Up Agreement in proceeding towards consummation of the Global Offering. The undersigned further understands that this Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement.

This Lock-Up Agreement (and for the avoidance of doubt, the Lock-Up Period described herein) and related restrictions shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur, if any, of the Joint Representatives (for themselves and on behalf of the Underwriters) on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, advising the other in writing prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreements that they have or it has determined not to proceed with the Global Offering contemplated by the Underwriting Agreements, (ii) the Offering Documents filed with the Commission or any other relevant authority with respect to the Global Offering contemplated by the Underwriting Agreements are withdrawn, or (iii) the termination of either Underwriting Agreement prior to payment for and delivery of Shares, in the event the closing of the Global Offering shall not have occurred prior to such date.

This Lock-Up Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Lock-Up Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
