         Section 3.2       Additional Funding; Pre-emptive Rights.

         (a)      The Board of Directors may determine in accordance with

shall be used for the purposes of the Company set forth in Section 2.2 and shall
be funded in accordance with this Article III. No parties hereto shall be
obliged to provide any financial assistance including, but not limited to,
loans, guarantees, bonds, debentures and/or other debt securities unless

         (b)      If the Board of Directors, acting in accordance with this

additional Shares (other than in connection with (i) any conversion of Preferred
Shares into Common Shares at the option of a Preferred Shareholder, (ii) any
Non-Voting Ordinary Shares issued in connection with the Employee Stock Option
Plan or (iii) any Public Offering), other equity securities or securities
convertible into equity securities, including without limitation, ordinary and
preferred shares, options, warrants or other similar instruments of the Company,
but excluding stock options issued to employees pursuant to the Employee Stock
Option Plan ("Equity Linked Securities"), the Board of Directors shall first
provide a notice (each such notice, a "Funding Notice") to each of the Founding
Shareholders, Acer, Icon, Mitsubishi, Index, Temasek and Intrinsic
(collectively, the "Preemptive Right Holders") of the issuance of such Equity
Linked Securities and the issue price thereof. Each of the Preemptive Right
Holders shall have the right but not the obligation to purchase for cash a
portion of the Equity Linked Securities to be issued corresponding to its then
current respective Shareholding Percentage at the same price and on the same
terms and conditions as such Equity Linked Securities are offered or sold. The
Funding Notice shall set forth the amount of additional contribution from each
of the Preemptive Right Holders for the pro rata amount of Equity Linked
Securities to be issued and the intended subscription date specified by the
Board of Directors (the "Subscription Date"). Each of the Preemptive Right
Holders shall have the right but not the obligation to make such additional
funds available to the Company not later than the date specified in the Funding
Notice (the "Funding Date"), which shall be at least 15 days after the Funding
Notice is delivered to the Shareholders and no later than five Business Days
before the Subscription Date. Such pre-emptive rights shall be assignable by
each of the Preemptive Right Holders to any of its Affiliates. If any Preemptive
Right Holder does not make full payment of the additional contribution set forth
in the Funding Notice on or before the Funding Date, the Board of Directors may
accept additional capital contributions in the amount of the deficiency from the
other Preemptive Right Holders (or their Affiliates) in proportion to such
Preemptive Right Holder's subscription to the offered Equity Linked Securities,
but no Preemptive Right Holder shall be obligated to make up any such
deficiency. To the extent that such deficiency is not made up, the Company may
proceed to offer the Equity Linked Securities represented by such deficiency to
third parties at no less than the issue price stated in the Funding Notice
within 60 days from the Funding Date. In the event the Company has not sold all
offered Equity Linked Securities within such period, the Company shall not
thereafter issue or sell any Equity Linked Securities without first offering
them to the Preemptive Rights Holders in the manner provided above.

         (a)      In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, or sale of all substantially all of
its assets, Preferred Shareholders shall be entitled to receive

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

liquidation proceeds of the Company or any Subsidiary available for distribution
to the Shareholders in the following order and amounts:

                  (i)      first, to each of the Series A, Series B, Series C,
         Series D and Series E Preferred Shareholders up to 100% of the issue
         price of each such Preferred Share held by it, pro rata in accordance
         with the respective Shareholding Percentage calculated with respect to
         Preferred Shares only, treated as one class; provided, however, that
         the parties to this Agreement hereby agree that the Series E Preferred
         Shareholders, Series D Preferred Shareholders, Series C Preferred
         Shareholders, Series B Preferred Shareholders and Icon shall receive up
         to 100% of the issue price of each Preferred Share held by them prior
         to the distribution of any of the remaining preference amount to the
         other Series A Preferred Shareholders, which remaining Series A
         preference amount, if any, shall not be paid to the remaining Series A
         Preferred Shareholders, but, rather, shall be made available to all of
         the Shareholders in accordance with Section 5.1(b).

         (b)      After the payment in full of the preference amount in Section
5.1(a), the remaining liquidated proceeds shall be distributed pro rata among
all the Shareholders in accordance with the respective Shareholding Percentages,
with each Preferred Share being deemed for such purpose to be equal to the
number of Common Shares into which such Preferred Share is convertible pursuant
to Section 5.2.

         Section 5.2       Conversion Rights.

         (a)      Each Preferred Shareholder shall have the right to convert at
any time any or all of the Preferred Shares held by it into Common Shares in
accordance with the conversion provisions in the Memorandum and Articles of
Association.

         (b)      All Preferred Shares shall be automatically converted into
Common Shares in accordance with the conversion provisions in the Memorandum and
Articles of Association immediately prior to the closing of an Initial Public
Offering.

         (c)      If a Preferred Shareholder exercises its right to convert
Preferred Shares into Common Shares, such Preferred Shareholder shall surrender
the certificate or certificates for such Preferred Share at the office of the
transfer agent (or at the principal office of the Company if the Company serves
as its own transfer agent), together with written notice that such holder elects
to convert all or any number of the shares represented by such certificate or
certificates. Such notice shall state the name of the Preferred Shareholder and
the names in which the Preferred Shareholder wishes the certificate or
certificates for Common Shares to be issued. If required by the Company,
certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a
written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the
Company, duly executed by the registered holder or its attorney duly authorized
in writing. The date of receipt of such certificates and notice by the transfer
agent or the Company shall be the conversion date (the "Conversion Date"). The
Company shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Date, issue and
deliver at such office to such holder or to his nominees, a certificate or
certificates for the number of Common Shares to which such holder shall be
entitled. If the conversion is in connection with an Initial Public Offering,
the conversion may, at the option the Preferred Shareholder, be conditioned upon
the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such
offering, such that the Person entitled to receive the Common Shares upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares shall not be deemed to have converted such
Preferred Shares until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of
securities.

         (d)      The Company shall, at all times during which any Preferred
Shares shall be outstanding, keep available such number of its duly authorized
Common Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion
of all outstanding Preferred Shares.

redemption date the number of shares that may then be legally redeemed by the
Company is less than the number of such shares to be redeemed, then the shares
to be redeemed shall be allocated to Acer and Intrinsic pro rata in accordance
with each of its Shareholding Percentage at such time, and the remaining shares
that may not legally be redeemed shall be carried forward and redeemed as soon
as the Company has legally available funds for such redemption.

         Section 5.6       Temasek Redemption Rights.

         (a)      Subject to any applicable legal restrictions on the Company's
redemption of shares, all of the outstanding Series E Preferred Shares owned by
Temasek (the "Temasek Series E Shares"), shall automatically be redeemed upon
delivery by Temasek, as the case may be, of a written notice requiring the
Company to redeem all of the outstanding Temasek Series E Preferred Shares,
provided, however, that delivery of any such notice by Temasek may not be made
before September [3], 2007. Such written notice specifying (i) the number of
Temasek Series E Shares to be redeemed, (ii) the redemption price per share and
(iii) the redemption date shall be sent to the Company. (b) The redemption price
for each Series E Preferred Share shall be the amount per share (as adjusted for
stock splits, reclassifications, stock dividends, and the like) actually paid by
Temasek to the Company plus all declared but unpaid dividends thereon to the
date of redemption (the "Redemption Price"). If on any redemption date the
number of shares that may then be legally redeemed by the Company is less than
the number of such shares to be redeemed, then the remaining shares that may not
legally be redeemed shall be carried forward and redeemed as soon as the Company
has legally available funds for such redemption.

         Section 5.7       Mitsubishi and Index Ratchet-down Provisions

Should future investors invest in Linktone at a lower share price than
Mitsubishi and Index (adjusted for stock splits, reclassifications, stock
dividends, and the like), Mitsubishi and Index will be issued additional shares
to adjust for the difference. This adjustment shall be the difference between
the number of shares that Mitsubishi and Index actually received and the number
of shares they would have received had they invested at the lower share price.
The adjustment shall be made when such issuance is made, and shall become
effective immediately after such issuance.

         Section 5.8       Temasek Ratchet-down Provisions

Should future additional equity (including, but not limited to, options,
warrants or convertible securities) be issued at a consideration price per share
lower than US$9.8454 (the "lower price"), the conversion price in relation to
the Series E Preferred Shares held by Temasek shall be adjusted to reflect the
lower price (including adjustments for stock splits, reclassifications, stock
dividends and the like), such that Temasek holds the same relative ownership
position thereafter as it had immediately prior thereto. The adjustment shall be
made when such issuance is made, and shall become effective immediately upon
such issuance.

         Section 5.9       Mitsubishi and Index Agency Rights

         (a)      Provided that the aggregate Voting Shareholding Percentage of
Mitsubishi and Index is in excess of 1%, Mitsubishi will be Linktone's exclusive
agent for Japanese content for one year which is to be extended year by year
subject to a mutual agreement to be agreed upon by both parties. In exchange for
Mitsubishi's exclusive agency rights, Linktone will be granted right of first
refusal to any Index

                                      -19-

                               TRANSFER OF SHARES

         Section 6.1       General Restrictions on Transfer.

         (a)      No Shareholder shall Transfer any Shares or warrants now owned
or subsequently acquired by the Shareholder to any Persons, unless such Transfer
is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Articles of
Association.

         (b)      Each Shareholder agrees that no Transfer of any Shares
(including any Permitted Transfers) shall be valid and effective until the
transferee of such Shares (the "Transferee") shall have executed and delivered
to the Company and each other Shareholder, as a condition precedent to any
acquisition of Shares or warrants, an instrument in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Company confirming that such Transferee agrees to
become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and conditions
hereof. The Shareholders further agree to take any action, or cause any action
to be taken, that is necessary or reasonably desirable to effect all the
restrictions on the Transfer of Shares or warrants set forth herein in order
that the same may bind third parties who are not parties to this Agreement.

         (c)      Shareholders may effectuate any Permitted Transfer or Public
Sale without compliance with Sections 6.2 and 6.3.

         Section 6.2       Right of First Offer.

         (a)      If any Shareholder (an "Offering Shareholder") desires to
Transfer all or part of its Shares (the "Offered Shares"), it shall, by a notice
in writing (a "First Offer Notice") to all the other Shareholders, first offer
(a "First Offer") to the other Shareholders the opportunity to purchase all of
such Offered Shares on the same terms and conditions as those offered by the
Offering Shareholder. Such First Offer shall (i) specify the number of such
Offered Shares, (ii) specify the proposed purchase price which shall be on an
all cash basis, and (iii) contain an irrevocable offer to sell such Offered
Shares at such price to the other Shareholders. The other Shareholders, at their
sole election, may accept, in whole but not in part, the First Offer by written
notice to the Offering Shareholder not later than 10 Business Days after receipt
of the First Offer. If more than one other Shareholder accepts the First Offer,
the Offering Shareholder shall be deemed to have offered each such accepting
Shareholder that number of the Offered Shares equal to the aggregate number of
all the Offered Shares multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is each
such accepting Shareholder's Shareholding Percentage and the denominator of
which is the aggregate Shareholding Percentage of all such other Shareholders
accepting the first offer, and each such accepting Shareholder will be deemed to
have accepted such proportionate share of the Offered Shares. The accepting
Shareholder(s) shall purchase and pay for all of the Offered Shares no later
than 20 Business Days from acceptance of the First Offer. The Offering
Shareholder shall deliver such Offered Shares, free and clear of any liens and
encumbrances, to the accepting Shareholder(s) against delivery of the purchase
price therefor. If no other Shareholders accept the First Offer within the
prescribed time period, then the Offering Shareholder shall have the right to
sell the Offered Shares to third party purchaser(s) on the terms set forth in
the First Offer. If the Offering Shareholder fails to consummate the sale within
90 days following the date of the expiration of the First Offer, then any
subsequent Transfer of the Offered Shares shall again be subject to compliance
with this Section 6.2. The

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

Company shall not give effect to any Transfer of Shares subject to this Section
6.2 that is not made in compliance herewith.

         (b)      The provisions in (a) above shall not apply to (i) Permitted
Transfers and (ii) Public Sales.

         Section 6.3       Tag Along Right.

         (a)      If any Founding Shareholder (the "Tag Along Selling
Shareholder") intends to sell all or a portion of its Shares other than in
connection with an Initial Public Offering, Public Sale or a Permitted Transfer,
the Tag Along Selling Shareholder shall use its best efforts to procure that the
purchaser of such Shares shall also offer (the "Tag Along Offer") to purchase
from each of Intrinsic, Acer, Icon, Mitsubishi, Index, and Temasek (the "Tag
Along Seller") a number of Shares (including Common Shares issuable on
conversion of Preferred Shares) that represents the same ratio of the Shares
then held by each Tag Along Seller as the percentage of the Shares to be
purchased by such purchaser from the Tag Along Selling Shareholder to the total
number of Shares then held by the Tag Along Selling Shareholder. The purchase
price per Share and the terms of sale of the Shares in the Tag Along Offer shall
be the same as the proposed sale by the Tag Along Selling Shareholders to the
proposed purchaser. Any such Tag Along Offer to the each Tag Along Seller shall
be open for at least 20 days.

         (b)      If the proposed purchaser in (a) above does not agree to
increase the amount of Shares it proposes to purchase by making a Tag Along
Offer to the Tag Along Sellers, the amount of Shares to be sold by the Tag Along
Selling Shareholder shall be reduced accordingly and the proposed purchaser will
purchase such portion from the Tag Along Sellers instead. If in the case where
one or more of the Tag Along Sellers can not sell its Shares to the proposed
purchaser together with the Tag Along Selling Shareholder's Shares due to an
inability of the proposed purchaser, Tag Along Selling Shareholder shall not
sell any of its Shares to the proposed purchaser.

they do not otherwise have such right) to participate in such registration, and
(3) use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of all such
Registrable Securities under the Securities Act no later than 120 days from the
date of the demand made pursuant to this Section 9.2. The Company and

Offering or (ii) adversely affect the Company for any other reason, the Company

distribution (other than private sales of Shares, subject to Article VI, to a
purchaser or assignee who agrees to be bound by the terms of this Section 9.2)
of any Shares during the ten Business Day period prior to, and during the
120-day period beginning on, the effective date of the registration statement
filed pursuant to this Section 9.2.

         (f)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Shareholder shall be
entitled to initiate a demand registration under Section 9.2 if the total number
of Registrable Securities to be sold by such Shareholder (and any affiliate of
the Shareholder with whom such Shareholder must aggregate its sales under Rule
144) can be presently sold in any 90-day period without registration in
compliance with Rule 144; provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent
such Shareholder from exercising its rights under Section 9.3.

         Section 9.3 Piggy-Back Registration.

                                      -26-
<PAGE>

         (a)      Subject to the provisions of Section 9.4, if the Company at
any time (other than pursuant to Section 9.2) proposes to register for sale any
Equity Linked Security issued by the Company under the Securities Act (other
than pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4, F-4 or S-8 or any
successor forms thereto) or, in any jurisdiction other than the United States,
it shall each such time give written notice (the "Company Registration Notice")
to the holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to do so no later than
30 days prior to the filing of such registration statement or listing
application. The Company shall notify each of the holders of Registrable
Securities in writing if the Company grants to any other Person, other than
Acer, Intrinsic, Mitsubishi, Index, Temasek or Icon, the right to require the
Company to register, under the Securities Act or any other applicable law, any
Equity Linked Securities issued by the Company.

         (b)      Upon the written request of any holder of Registrable
Securities given within 25 days after receipt of any Company Registration
Notice, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 9.4, cause all
Registrable Securities designated by such holder to be included in such
registration statement or listing application; provided, however, if the Company
elects to withdraw or delay any registration statement or listing application
contemplated by the Company Registration Notice at any time prior to the
effective date thereof, the Company shall be relieved of its obligations to
register or list the Registrable Securities hereunder (but not of its obligation
to pay the registration expenses associated therewith). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the demand registration rights of Intrinsic, Acer, Mitsubishi, Index,
Temasek and Icon set out under Section 9.2 shall not be prejudiced and each of
Intrinsic, Acer, Mitsubishi, Index, Temasek or Icon are entitled to request to
effect the registration of the Registration Securities pursuant to Section 9.2
(assuming the conditions thereof are complied with). No registration or Initial
Public Offering effected under this Section 9.3 shall relieve the Company of its
obligation to effect any registration under Section 9.2.

         Section 9.4 Adjustments to Registration.

         If for any offering pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 the managing
underwriter, if any, advises that marketing factors require that the total
number of securities to be registered of the Company or such requesting
Shareholder plus the number of securities sought to be registered by any other
Person be limited, and (i) such registration is a registration effected pursuant
to a demand made under Section 9.2, then the securities included in such
registration shall include: first, the Registrable Securities sought to be
registered by the initiating holders thereof exercising such demand right, on a
pro rata basis, and second, to the extent that such securities may be included
in such registration, all other securities of the Company duly requested to be
included in such registration statement, on a pro rata basis, or (ii) such
registration is a registration effected pursuant to Section 9.3, then the
securities included in such registration shall include: first, all securities of
the Company proposed to be sold by the Company for its own account, second, the
securities of the Company proposed to be sold by Acer, Icon, Mitsubishi, Index,
Temasek and Intrinsic, on a pro rata basis, and third, to the extent such
securities may be included in such registration, all other securities of the
Company duly requested to be included in such registration, on a pro rata basis.
Inclusion of securities of the Company in a registration on a pro rata basis
shall be determined based on such ratio that the number or value of securities
sought to be registered by such holder exercising a demand right or other holder
bears to the total number or value of securities held by all such holders
exercising a demand right or other such holders seeking registration,
respectively.

         Section 9.5 Registration Procedures.

         (a)      If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of
this Article IX to cause or to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the
registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Securities Act, the
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable
rules and regulations of the Commission and, except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement, promptly:

                                      -27-
<PAGE>

                  (i)      cooperate with the sellers of Registrable Securities
         and their underwriters and enter into a usual and customary
         underwriting agreement with respect thereto and take all such other
         reasonable actions as are necessary or advisable to permit, expedite
         and facilitate the disposition of such shares in the manner
         contemplated by the related registration statement in each case to the
         same extent as if all the securities then being offered were for the
         account of the Company;

                  (ii)     provide to any seller of Registrable Securities, any
         underwriter participating in any distribution thereof pursuant to a
         registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent
         retained by any such seller or underwriter, reasonable access upon
         reasonable prior notice to appropriate Company officers and employees
         to answer questions and to supply information reasonably requested by
         any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in
         connection with such registration statement; provided that each such
         Person shall have executed a confidentiality agreement in form and
         substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company that restricts
         disclosure of such information unless required by applicable law;

                  (iii)    if the registration statement relates to an
         underwritten offering, furnish or cause to be furnished to each such
         seller of Registrable Securities, a copy of the opinion of counsel for
         the Company, and a copy of the "comfort" letter signed by the
         independent public accountants who have certified the Company's
         financial statements included in the registration statement, delivered
         on the closing date to the underwriters of such shares;

                  (iv)     prepare and file with the Commission a registration
         statement with respect to such securities and use commercially
         reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become and
         remain effective for 180 days; and prepare and file with the Commission
         such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the
         prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep
         such registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions
         of the Securities Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of
         all securities covered by such registration statement whenever the
         seller or sellers of Registrable Securities shall desire to sell or
         otherwise dispose of the same; provided that no such registration
         statement will be filed by the Company until counsel for the sellers of
         Registrable Securities shall have had a reasonable opportunity to
         review the same and approve any portion of such registration statement
         describing or referring to such sellers, and no amendment to any such
         registration statement initially naming such sellers as selling
         shareholders shall be filed with any governmental authority (including
         the Commission) until such sellers shall have had at least five
         Business Days to review such registration statement as originally filed
         and theretofore amended and to exercise their right to review the same
         and approve any portion of such registration statement describing or
         referring to such sellers;

                  (v)      furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities such
         numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus,
         in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such
         other documents, as such seller may reasonably request in order to
         facilitate the public sale or other disposition of such seller's
         securities;

                  (vi)     use commercially reasonable efforts to register or
         qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under
         such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as each
         seller of Registrable Securities shall reasonably request, and do any
         and all other acts which may be necessary or advisable to enable such
         seller to consummate the public sale or other disposition of the
         securities owned by such seller in such jurisdictions, except that the
         Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify to do
         business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not
         so qualified or to file therein any general consent to service;

                                      -28-
<PAGE>

                  (vii)    in the event of the issuance of any stop order
         suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement or of any
         order suspending or preventing the use of any prospectus or suspending
         the qualification of any shares for sale in any jurisdiction, use
         commercially reasonable efforts promptly to obtain its withdrawal;

                  (viii)   make available to its security holders, as soon as
         reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at
         least 12 months, beginning with the first fiscal quarter beginning
         after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings
         statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
         Securities Act; and

                  (ix)     list such Registrable Securities on any securities
         exchange on which any securities of the Company are then listed, if the
         listing of such securities is then permitted under the rules of such
         exchange.

         (b)      The Shareholders agree that, upon receipt of any written
notice from the Company of (i) any request by the Commission for amendments or
supplements to a registration statement or related prospectus, (ii) the issuance
by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a
registration statement or the initiation of any proceeding for that purpose,
(iii) receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension
or qualification of any shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of
any proceeding for such purpose, and (iv) the occurrence of any event which
requires the making of any changes in a registration statement or related
prospectus so that such documents will not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, the Shareholders
will forthwith discontinue disposition of securities covered by such
registration statement or prospectus (which discontinuance as to the
circumstance described in clause (iii) shall be limited to the particular
jurisdiction involved and shall be subject to the Company's use of commercially
reasonable efforts to promptly cause such suspension or qualification to be
terminated) until the Shareholders shall have received copies of a supplemented
or amended prospectus or written notice by the Company that the use of the
applicable prospectus may be resumed, and any additional or supplemental filings
which are incorporated by reference in such prospectus. At the request of the
Company, the Shareholders will deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense)
all copies, other than permanent file copies then in the Shareholders'
possession, of the prospectus covering such securities current at the time of
receipt of such notice.

         Section 9.6 Expenses; Limitations on Registration.

         (a)      All expenses incident to the Company's performance of its
obligations in connection with any registration of the Registrable Securities
under this Agreement including, without limitation, printing expenses, fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company, fees of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. and the Commission in connection with their review of
any offering contemplated in any registration statement, and expenses of any
special audits and independent consultant reports which shall be necessary to
comply with the Securities Act and other applicable law in connection with any
such registration shall be paid by the Company. In connection with each
registration, the Company shall pay (i) all registration and filing fees for the
Registrable Securities and (ii) expenses of complying with the securities or
blue sky laws of any jurisdictions pursuant to Section 9.5(a)(vi), and (iii)
reasonable fees and expenses of one law firm that acts as special counsel for
the Shareholders.

         (b)      It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the
Company to take any action pursuant to this Article IX in respect of the
Registrable Securities which are to be registered at the request of any
Shareholder that (i) subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company
shall have received an undertaking satisfactory to it from such Shareholder to
pay, or have deducted from the proceeds from the sale of securities pursuant to
a registration, all underwriters' discounts, selling

                                      -29-
<PAGE>

commissions, stock transfer taxes and other similar selling expenses to be
incurred in respect of the sale of Registrable Securities by such Shareholder,
and (ii) such Shareholder shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding the securities held by such Shareholder and the intended method of
disposition of the Registrable Securities as the Company shall reasonably
request and as shall be required in connection with the action to be taken by
the Company.

         Section 9.7 Indemnification.

         (a)      In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Article IX, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the
seller of such Registrable Securities, such seller's directors, partners,
employees, agents and officers, and each other Person, if any, who controls,
within the meaning of the Securities Act (a "Controlling Person"), such seller
against any Losses to which such seller or any such director or officer or
Controlling Person may become subject under the Securities Act or any other U.S.
or foreign statute or rule or at common law, insofar as such Losses (or actions
in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any
registration statement under which such securities were registered under the
Securities Act, or in any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse such seller or such
director, officer, partner, employee, agent or Controlling Person for any legal
or any other expenses reasonably incurred, as incurred, by such seller or such
director, officer, partner, employees, agent or Controlling Person in connection
with investigating or defending any such Loss; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss
arises out of or is based upon any alleged untrue statement or alleged omission
made in such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, prospectus, or
amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by such seller specifically for use
therein; provided, further, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not
inure to the benefit of any seller of Registrable Securities from whom the
Person asserting any such Losses purchased Registrable Securities, or any
Controlling Person, if a copy of the prospectus (as then amended or
supplemented) was provided by the Company to such seller and was not sent or
given by or on behalf of such seller of Registrable Securities to such Person,
if required by law so to have been delivered, at or prior to the written
confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities to such Person, and if
such prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect
giving rise to such Losses.

         (b)      Each holder of any Registrable Securities shall, by acceptance
thereof, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers and
each other Person, if any, who controls the Company against any Losses to which
the Company or any such director or officer or any other Person controlling the
Company may become subject under the Securities Act or under any other U.S. or
foreign statute or rule or at common law, insofar as such Losses (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any alleged untrue statement
of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any
registration statement under which securities were registered, or in any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment
or supplement thereto, or (ii) any 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
alleged untrue statement or alleged omission was contained in written
information furnished to the Company by such holder specifically for use
therein, and shall reimburse the Company or such director, officer or other
Controlling Person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred, as
incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss, provided
that in no event shall any such holder be required to indemnify for Losses in
excess of the proceeds received by such holder from the disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

                                      -30-
<PAGE>

         (c)      The indemnity obligations provided in this Section 9.7 shall
remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of any seller or such director, officer, partner, employee, agent or
Controlling Person, or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors
or any other Person controlling the Company and shall survive the transfer of
such Registrable Securities by such seller and the expiration or termination of
this Agreement.

         (d)      Indemnification similar to that specified in Sections 9.7(a)
and 9.7(b) shall be given by the Company and each holder of any Registrable
Securities (with such modifications as shall be appropriate) to any underwriter
and indemnification that is customarily given by underwriters in public
offerings in the applicable place of registration or qualification shall be
given by the underwriter to the Company and each holder of any Registrable
Securities, in each case with respect to any required registration or other
qualification of any Registrable Securities under any applicable law. The
indemnity and expense reimbursements obligations of the Company and the holders
provided in this Section 9.7 shall be in addition to any liability the Company
and the holders may otherwise have.

         No party shall Transfer all or any part of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement, except (i) in connection with a Transfer of Shares
effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) with the prior
written consent of all other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably

herein are assignable, except that:

                  (i)      the information rights provided under Section 5.3
         shall not be assignable to any Transferee if 75% of the Company's
         directors appointed by the Shareholders other than the Shareholder
         assigning such rights determine, in good faith, that the Transferee is
         a competitor of the Company;

                  (ii)     in respect of Icon, other than in a Permitted
         Transfer, none of the rights provided under Sections 4.1 or 9.2(d)
         shall be assignable to any Transferee.

         Section 10.5 No Third Party Beneficiary.

         Nothing in this Agreement shall confer any rights upon any person or
entity which is not a party to this Agreement, except as expressly set forth
herein.

         Each of the parties hereto shall give such further assurance, provide
such further information, take such further actions and execute and deliver such
further documents and instruments, as are, in each case, within its power to
give, provide and take so as to give full effect to the provisions of this
Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Shareholder shall, subject
to applicable law, vote its Shares, take all actions necessary and procure that
its appointed directors take all action necessary, to (a) implement the
provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation the minority
protection rights in Section 4.4 and the Memorandum and Articles of Association,
and (b) ensure that the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the
respective memorandum and articles of association of each of the Company's
Subsidiaries do not at any time conflict with any provision of this Agreement.

         No amendment or waiver hereto shall be effective or binding on any of
the parties hereto unless in writing and signed by each of the parties, except
with respect to Series A Preferred Shareholders, any amendment or waiver shall
be effective and binding on all Series A Preferred Shareholders if agreed to by
the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Shares. Any waiver by any of
the parties hereto of any right hereunder or any breach hereof by another party
shall not constitute a waiver of any other right or any other breach by such
other party, whether of a similar or different nature thereto.

         Section 10.11 Remedies.

         In the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by

unenforceable in one jurisdiction or in any respect for any reason, the

jurisdictions or in every other respect and of the remaining provisions
contained herein shall not be in any way impaired thereby, it being intended
that all of the rights and privileges of the parties hereto shall be enforceable
to the fullest extent permitted by law.

         Section 10.14 Counterparts.

constitute one and the same instrument.

         The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge that it is their
intention and understanding that the transactions contemplated hereby do not in
any way constitute or imply the formation of a joint venture or partnership

power to act as agent for, or the responsibility for the acts or commitments of,
any other party hereto.

         Section 10.20 QEF Election; U.S. Tax Issues.

         The parties hereto understand and agree that, if the Company becomes a
passive foreign investment company for United States federal income tax
purposes, Shareholders that are deemed United States entities may elect to treat
the Company as a qualified electing fund ("QEF") within the meaning of section
1295 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company agrees to take such action and
provide such information as may be necessary (including providing a PFIC Annual
Information Statement) within the meaning of Treasury Regulations section

who are United States taxpayers on all matters relating to their particular
United States tax issues, including, without limitation, having the Company or
any Subsidiaries make any "check the box" elections in order that the Company or
any Subsidiaries be treated as other than corporations for United States federal
tax purposes, such election to be made effective on or prior to the date of this
Agreement.
