	6.	 	SURVIVAL AND INDEMNITIES
	 
	6.1	 	Survival. The warranties of the Parties contained in or made pursuant to this
Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Completion until the
date falling on the earlier of (a) the expiration date of the lock-up period applicable to the
Purchaser following the Qualified IPO and (b) the date falling thirty-six (36) months from the
Completion Date (the “General Warranty Expiration Date”).
	 
	6.2	 	Warranty Indemnities. Subject to and as from Completion, the Warrantors shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser from and against any damages, deficiencies, losses
(including loss of value of the Shares), costs, liabilities and expenses (“Losses”)
resulting directly or indirectly from or arising in connection with any claims for breach of any of
the Company Warranties (the “Warranty Claims”) brought prior to the General Warranty
Expiration Date or breach of obligations under the Transaction Agreements.
	 
	6.3	 	Limitations. Notwithstanding Clauses 6.1 and 6.2, the Warrantors shall not be liable
for any Losses in respect of a Warranty Claim:

	 	(a)	 	unless notice of the claim is given in writing
by the Purchaser to the

13

 

	 	 	 	Warrantors setting out so far as reasonably practicable the details of the matter
in respect of which the claim is made before the relevant Warranty Expiration Date,
and any such claim shall (if it has not been previously satisfied, settled or
withdrawn) be deemed to be withdrawn six (6) months after such notice is given
unless legal proceedings in respect thereof have been commenced;
	 
	 	(b)	 	to the extent that the aggregate amount of Losses in respect of any breach of the
Company Warranties for which the Warrantors would otherwise be liable exceeds the Indemnity
Cap; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses in respect of breach of the Company
Warranties for which the Warrantors would otherwise be liable exceeds US$1,000,000.

	6.4	 	Specific Indemnities
	 
	 	 	Subject to and as from the Completion:

	 	(a)	 	the Warrantors shall (in the case of the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law) jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser from and
against any Losses whether arising before or after Completion to the extent resulting from:

	 	(i)	 	any claims made pursuant to or in connection with the Amendment to Stock
Purchase Agreement dated as of May 19, 2008 by and among Microbes, MIE and FEEL
against the Company or MIE (other than any claim that the Company did not loan to
FEEL US$20,000,000 in time to enable FEEL to meet the payment amount payable under
such agreement), including Losses accrued against MIE prior to the date of this
Agreement, and all other claims by Microbes against the Company, MIE or the
Purchaser relating to Microbes’ investment in MIE. Any payment made by MIE or the
Company to Microbes (or its affiliated parties) shall be applied against, and
result in a reduction of, MIE’s liability vis-a-vis FEEL;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the arbitration proceedings brought by GOC on 14 May 2003 and 27 April 2004,
respectively, in relation to an operating agreement entered into between Microbes
and GOC dated 25 September 2000 and the subject matter of those proceedings;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Fullfame Enterprise Ltd.’s previous shareholding in MIE, including but not
limited to its rights to disproportionate dividend distributions and other governance
rights or otherwise, any rights granted pursuant to the cooperation agreement and the
share transfer agreement between FEEL, MIE and Fullfame Enterprise Ltd. dated 30 June
2005 and 22 September 2005 respectively, and any claims brought by current or
previous holders or beneficial owners of shares in, or directors of, Fullfame
Enterprise Ltd.
(or by anyone who alleges to be such a person);
	 
	 	(iv)	 	any contravention of laws or regulation in the PRC by MIE or FEEL relating to
loans, guarantees given by Zhang, debt settlements, or

14

 

	 	 	 	transactions having similar effect made between MIE, the Company, FEEL and/or
Zhang or any other national or resident of the PRC;
	 
	 	(v)	 	the failure or delay by the Company or MIE or any of the current or previous
holders or owners of shares or other securities in FEEL, the Company or MIE in
obtaining any required SAFE registrations or approvals (including roundtripping
approvals);
	 
	 	(vi)	 	any claim for taxes of MIE (which term shall cover taxes and duties of any kind,
amounts withheld on account of taxation of any person, social security charges and
similar, fines and late payment interest charges and penalties, duties, and claw-back
of relief previously granted) that were incurred, or which relate to any period,
prior to the Completion Date and not paid by MIE before such date, save to the extent
provided for as a specific accrual in the 2008 Accounts or in any management accounts
relating to a period after 31 December 2008 which have been provided to the Purchaser
prior to the date of this Agreement and save for taxation accruing in the ordinary
course on MIE’s trading activities undertaken since 31 December 2008;
	 
	 	(vii)	 	MIE’s direct or indirect interests in any of the Indonesia JVs, including but
not limited to any claims against MIE in relation to (i) any operations, business,

or any third parties in connection with MIE’s investment in the Indonesia JVs and/or
(iii) any termination, liquidation or winding-up of MIE’s direct or indirect interests
in any of the Indonesia JVs; and

	 	(b)	 	FEEL shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser from and against any Losses
whether arising before or after Completion to the extent resulting from any finally
adjudicated claims made pursuant to or in connection with the Credit Support Agreement and
the Harmony Share Charge against the Purchaser for the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined
in the Harmony Share Charge) by TPG,

(collectively, the “Specific Indemnities”); provided, however, that the Warrantors
shall have no obligation to indemnify or hold harmless the Purchaser for any such claims to
the extent that the aggregate amount of Losses in respect of (i) the Specific Indemnities
for which the Warrantors would otherwise be liable and (ii) any breach of the Warranties
exceeds the Indemnity Cap; and provided further that FEEL’s indemnification obligation
under Clause 6.4(b) shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in (i) and (ii) above
and shall only be satisfied by (x) transferring a portion of FEEL’s Shares to the Purchaser
such that the Purchaser shall hold the same number of Shares and any additional Shares that
may have been issued to the Purchaser as holder of Shares upon a declaration of dividends
by the Company, any share split event, recapitalization or other similar event (the
“Original Shares”) that it held prior to the claims made under the Credit Support
Agreement and enforcement of all or a portion of the Harmony Share Charge and (y) monetary
payment by FEEL for dividends, interests and other monies in connection with the Charged
Portfolio (as defined in the

15

 

Harmony Share Charge) paid to TPG under the enforcement of the Credit Support Agreement and
the Harmony Share Charge.

	6.5	 	Procedure for Indemnification (Third Party Claims).

	 	(a)	 	If the Purchaser receives written notice of the commencement of any Proceeding by a
third party (a “Third Party Claim”), and the Purchaser intends to seek indemnity
pursuant to this Clause 6, the Purchaser shall as promptly as practicable provide each
Warrantor with notice in writing of the Third Party Claim; provided,
however, that no delay on the part of the Purchaser in notifying such Warrantor
will relieve such Warrantor from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the
extent) such Warrantor is materially and actually prejudiced as a result thereof. Such
Warrantor shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim at its own
expense; provided that such Warrantor shall not be entitled to assume the defense
of a Third Party Claim to the extent that the Purchaser reasonably determines that it has
defenses, claims or positions that are unique, separate or distinct from the defenses,
claims or positions that might be available to other Persons relating to such Third Party
Claim (such as jurisdictional defenses). Such defense shall be conducted through counsel
selected by such Warrantor, which counsel shall be satisfactory to the Purchaser. Should
the Purchaser so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, such Warrantor will
not be liable to the Purchaser for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by it
in connection with the defense thereof. If such Warrantor is conducting the defense of the
Third Party Claim, the Purchaser shall be entitled, at its own expense, to retain separate
counsel and participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim. Such Warrantor will keep
the Purchaser informed of all material developments relating to or arising in connection
with such Third Party Claim.
	 
	 	(b)	 	In the event that (i) the relevant Warrantor(s) fail to so assume the defense of any
Third Party Claim within 30 days after receipt of notice thereof from the Purchaser , (ii)
the relevant Warrantor(s) and the Purchaser are both parties to or subjects of the
proceedings and the Purchaser shall have reasonably concluded that representation of both
parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to an actual or potential conflict
of interest between them or (iii) in any event, to the extent the Third Party Claim seeks
an order, injunction, non-monetary or other equitable relief against the Purchaser which,
in the reasonable judgment of the Purchaser , if successful, is reasonably likely to
establish a precedential custom or practice that is materially detrimental to the
continuing business interests of the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall have the right to
undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim and, if such Third Party Claim is one for
which the Purchaser is
entitled to be indemnified under this Clause 6, such defense of such Third Party Claim
shall be at the expense and for the account of the Warrantors.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Each Warrantor shall be required to obtain the prior written consent of the Purchaser
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) before consenting to
any judgment, entering into or making any settlement, compromise or discharge of any Third
Party Claim or any liability in respect thereof.

16

 

	 	(d)	 	Each Warrantor shall not be entitled to control (but shall be entitled to
participate at its own expense in) the defense of any Third Party Claim as to which such
Warrantor fails to assume the defense within 30 days after receipt of notice thereof from
the Purchaser; provided, however, that neither the Purchaser shall make any settlement,
compromise, discharge, admission, or acknowledgment that would give rise to any liability
on the part of any Warrantor without the prior written consent of such Warrantor (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).
	 
	 	(e)	 	The reimbursement of fees, costs and expenses required by this Clause 6 shall be made
by periodic payments during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills
are received or expenses incurred.

	6.6	 	Procedure for Indemnification (Direct Claims).
	 
	 	 	In any case in which the Purchaser seeks indemnification hereunder which is not subject to
Clause 6.5 because no Third Party Claim is involved, the Purchaser shall notify each Warrantor in
writing as promptly as reasonably practicable of any Losses which the Purchaser claims are subject
to indemnification under the terms hereof. The failure of the Purchaser to exercise promptness in
such notification shall not amount to a waiver of such claim unless and to the extent the resulting
delay materially and actually prejudices the position of such Warrantor with respect to such claim.
	 
	7.	 	ANNOUNCEMENTS AND CONFIDENTIALITY
	 
	7.1	 	Announcements. No announcement, press release or circular in connection with the existence or
the subject matter of the Transaction Agreements shall be made or issued by or on behalf of any
Party without prior consent of the other Parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed). This shall not affect any announcement, press release or circular required by law or any
regulatory body or the rules of any relevant stock exchange but the Party with an obligation to
make an announcement or issue a press release or circular shall consult with the other Parties
insofar as is reasonably practicable before complying with such an obligation.
	 
	7.2	 	Confidentiality. Subject to Clause 7.3, each Party shall treat as confidential and not
disclose or use any information received or obtained as a result of entering into the Transaction
Agreements (or any agreement entered into pursuant to the Transaction Agreements) which relates to
the provisions of the Transaction Agreements and any agreement entered into pursuant to the
Transaction Agreements or the negotiations relating to the Transaction Agreements (and such other
agreements); provided, however, that FEEL and the FEEL Shareholder may disclose such information to
its lenders under the CITIC KaWah Facility.
	 
	7.3	 	Exceptions to Confidentiality. Clause 7.2 shall not prohibit disclosure or use of any
information if and to the extent that:

	 	(a)	 	the disclosure or use is required by law, any regulatory body or the rules and/or
regulations of any relevant stock exchange, including any disclosure or use in an announcement,
press release or circular required to be made or

17

 

	 	 	 	issued pursuant to Clause 7.1;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the disclosure or use is required for the purpose of any judicial or regulatory
proceedings arising out of the Transaction Agreements or any other agreement entered into
under or pursuant to the Transaction Agreements or the disclosure is reasonably required to
be made to a taxation authority in connection with the taxation affairs of the disclosing
Party;
	 
	 	(c)	 	the disclosure is made to employees, directors, officers, agents, Affiliates, fund
investors and professional advisors, including financial advisors, consultants, accountants
and legal counsel, of a Party or bona fide prospective purchasers of the Shares on terms
that such employees, directors, officers, agents, Affiliates, fund investors, professional
advisors and bona fide purchasers undertake to comply with the provisions of Clause 7.2 in
respect of such information as if they were a party to the Transaction Agreements;
	 
	 	(d)	 	the information becomes publicly available (other than by breach of any of the
Transaction Agreements); or
	 
	 	(e)	 	the other Parties have given prior written approval to the disclosure or use.

	8.	 	RELEASE AND INDULGENCE
	 
	 	 	Any liability to any Party may in whole or in part be released, compounded or compromised or
time or indulgence given by any other Party in writing in their absolute discretion, as regards any
of the Parties under such liability without in any way prejudicing or affecting their rights
against any other Party or Parties under the same or a like liability whether joint and several or
otherwise.
	 
	9.	 	NOTICES
	 
	 	 	All notices, consents, and other communications under or pursuant to this Agreement
(“Notices”) shall be in writing and in the English language and shall be delivered (A) by hand, (B)
by facsimile (with receipt confirmed); provided, however, that a copy is promptly thereafter mailed
by reputable private courier, return receipt requested, (C) by the addressee or (D) by such other
means as the Parties may agree from time to time; in each case to the appropriate addresses and
facsimile numbers set forth below (or to such other addresses or facsimile numbers as a Party may

	11.	 	ARBITRATION
	 
	11.1	 	Amicable Settlement. Any and all disputes, controversies and conflicts between the Parties
arising out of or relating to or in connection with this Agreement and the performance or
non-performance of the obligations set forth herein shall, so far as is possible, be settled
amicably between the Parties within thirty (30) days after written notice of such dispute,
controversy or conflict has been given by one Party to the other Parties.
	 
	11.2	 	Arbitration Procedure.

	 	(a)	 	Failing an amicable settlement thereof within the thirty (30)-day period specified in
Clause 11.1, any and all disputes, controversies and conflicts arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement or its performance (including the validity of this
Agreement) shall be settled by three (3) arbitrators under the rules of the UNCITRAL
Arbitration Rules (the “UNCITRAL Rules”) in accordance with the Hong Kong International
Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) Procedures for the Administration of International Arbitration
in force at the date of this Agreement. The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong and
the language used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The HKIAC shall act as the
administering institute.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The arbitrators shall be appointed by mutual consent of the Parties involved in the
arbitration in accordance with the procedures set out in the UNCITRAL
Rules regarding the appointment of arbitrators, failing which the appointing
authority shall be HKIAC.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The arbitral proceeding shall accord to each of the Parties the right to provide

right to make both written and oral submissions.
	 
	 	(d)	 	The arbitral award made and granted by the arbitrator shall be final, binding and
incontestable and may be used as a basis for judgement thereon. All costs of arbitration
(including, without limitation, those incurred in the appointment of the arbitrator) shall
be apportioned in the arbitral award.

	11.3	 	Court Action. By agreeing to arbitration, the Parties do not intend to deprive any court of
competent jurisdiction of its ability to issue any form of provisional remedy, including but not
limited to a preliminary remedy in aid of arbitration, or order any interim injunction. A request
for such provisional remedy or interim injunction by the parties to a court shall not be deemed a
waiver of this agreement to submit to arbitration.
	 
	11.4	 	Continued Performance During Arbitration. During the period of submission to arbitration and
thereafter until the granting of the arbitral award, the Parties shall, except in the event of
termination, continue to perform all their obligations under this Agreement without prejudice to a
final adjustment in accordance with the said award.

	12.2	 	Successors and Assigns. This Agreement has been made solely for the benefit of the Parties
and their respective successors, personal representatives, heirs and estates and permitted assigns
and nothing herein is intended to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this
Agreement to any other Person.
	 
	12.3	 	Assignment. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and accrue to the benefit

this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to which it is a party has been or will be, on
or prior to the Completion Date, authorised by all necessary corporate action; and this Agreement
is, and each of the other Transaction Agreements to which it is a party will be, when duly executed
and delivered, a valid and binding obligation of the Company and MIE respectively, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
reorganisation, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and
subject to the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is
sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
	 
	3.	 	Capitalisation.

	 	(a)	 	The authorised share capital of the Company as of the date of this Agreement, consists
of (i) 15,000,000 shares of Ordinary Shares of a par value of US$0.01 each, 10,039,732 of
which are issued and outstanding and (ii) 3,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Shares of
a par value of US$0.01 each, 2,510,122 of which are issued and outstanding. All the Shares
in the issued share capital of the Company are duly and validly authorized and issued,
fully paid and non-assessable, and there is no Encumbrance over or affecting any of such shares (other than any security interest that may have been granted to CITIC KaWah pursuant
to the CITIC KaWah Facility and any security interest that may have been granted to TPG
pursuant to the TPG SPA). The particulars relating to the shareholders of the Company (x)
immediately prior to the Completion and (y) immediately after the Completion are set forth
in Schedule 1.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Upon the sale and transfer of the Purchased Shares to the Purchaser, in accordance with

pursuant to the CITIC KaWah Facility). The Company is the sole shareholder of MIE as the date of

27

 

	 	 	 	this Agreement and at the Completion.

	4.	 	Valid Issuance of Shares. The Purchased Shares, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance
with the terms and for the consideration set forth in this Agreement, will be duly and validly
issued, fully paid, non-assessable and free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on
transfer under the articles of association of the Company and the Transaction Agreements. Assuming
the accuracy of the warranties of the Purchaser, the Purchased Shares will be issued, sold and
transferred in compliance with all applicable securities laws. The Ordinary Shares issuable upon
conversion of the Purchased Shares have been duly reserved for issuance and upon issuance in
accordance with the terms of the articles of association of the Company, will be duly and validly

securities laws.
	 
	5.	 	No Options. Neither the Company nor MIE has any outstanding commitment, obligation, options,
warrants, rights (including conversion, pre-emption rights or rights of first refusal) to sell or
to cause to be issued any share capital or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, or
rights to acquire, any share capital, other than as contemplated by the Transaction Agreements.
Except for the rights granted under the employee stock option plan of the Company, no agreement or
arrangement exists providing for the present or future allotment, issue or transfer of any share
capital of the Company. Except for this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements, the TPG SPA,
and the Sino Link SPA, there is no agreement, arrangement or obligation of any kind (and no
authorization therefor has been given) obligating the Company or MIE or any other person to
repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any outstanding shares of its share capital or any
securities convertible into or ultimately exchangeable or exercisable for any share capital.
Except as set forth in the Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement dated October 30, 2009 by
and among TPG, Sino Link, FEEL, MIE and the Company and in the Third Amended and Restated Articles
of Association of the Company, neither the Company nor MIE is a party or subject to any agreement,
understanding or contractual rights, and, to the knowledge of the Company and MIE, there is no
agreement, understanding or contractual rights with any Person, which affects or relates to
distribution of dividends or the voting or giving of written consents with respect to any security
or by a director of the Company or MIE.
	 
	6.	 	Subsidiaries. Other than the Indonesian JVs, MIE has not and has never had any Subsidiaries and
is not and has never been a legal or beneficial owner of any share or equity interests in any
Person. The Company has no assets, and has not had any assets, other than cash and shares in MIE.
	 
	7.	 	Compliance with Laws; Permits. Each of the Company and MIE is in compliance in with
all laws, regulations, orders, judgments and decrees applicable to it. Each of the Company and MIE
has obtained and possesses all required Permits necessary for it to conduct its business as
currently conducted from, or has made all required, material registrations, qualifications, designations, declarations and filings with, any foreign, national,
provincial or local Governmental Authority related to the ownership, lease or use of its properties
or the operation of its assets and business as currently conducted, the lack of which would not
have a Material Adverse Effect. All such

28

 

	 	 	Permits are in full force and effect, and each of the Company and MIE is in compliance in
all material respects with all such Permits, and it is not aware that any of such required
Permits will not be renewed on or prior to its termination date, and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated under the Transaction Agreements will not result in the
termination or revocation of any of such Permits.

	8.	 	Material Contracts. No material Contract entered into by MIE (a) relates to the conduct or
proposed conduct of operations by MIE outside of the PRC (other than the Indonesia JVs); (b) is
outside the ordinary and proper course of business or is otherwise unusual; or (c) has been entered
into other than by way of a bargain at arm’s length. Each material Contract is in full force and
effect and there exists no (i) default or event of default by MIE or, to the knowledge of MIE, any
other party to any such Contract with respect to any material term or provision of any such
Contract or (ii) event, occurrence, condition or act (including the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby) which, with the giving of notice, the lapse of time or the
happening of any other event or condition, would become a default or event of default by MIE or, to
the knowledge of MIE, any other party thereto, with respect to any material term or provision of
any such Contract, except for those which would not be reasonably expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. The Company and MIE, as applicable, have duly performed all their obligations
under each material Contract to the extent that such obligations to perform have accrued.
Consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction
Agreements will not (and will not give any Person a right to) terminate or modify any rights of, or
accelerate or augment any obligation of, the Company or MIE under any material Contract.
	 
	9.	 	General.

	 	(a)	 	MIE has furnished the Purchaser with the audited financial statements of MIE as of
December 31, 2008 as certified by MIE’s accountants (the “2008 Accounts”). The 2008
Accounts, including the footnotes thereto, except as described therein, have been prepared
in accordance with IFRS consistently followed throughout the periods indicated. The 2008
Accounts fairly present the financial condition and the profit and loss of MIE as at the
date thereof and the related statements of income, shareholders’ equity, retained earnings,
and cash flows of MIE and the changes in its financial condition for the periods indicated
and contain specific provisions, accruals or creditors adequate to cover, or full
particulars in notes, of all taxation (including deferred taxation) and other liabilities
(whether quantified, contingent or otherwise) of MIE for the periods indicted, and are not
affected by unusual or non-recurring items.
	 
	 	(b)	 	FEEL has fully provided the Purchaser with all the information that the Purchaser has requested for deciding whether to purchase the Purchased Shares. No part of
any document or information provided to the Purchaser or their legal advisors throughout
the course of the Parties’ communications and negotiations leading up to the Completion
contained any untrue statements, omitted any material facts or was provided with any
intention to mislead the Purchaser, and FEEL has acted in good faith and with due and
careful consideration in providing such documents and information, and believing the

29

 

	 	 	 	same to be true in all material aspects at the time of provision of such documents
and information and as of the Completion.

of MIE Holdings Corporation — FEEL Shareholders Undertakings

Dear Sirs:

We provide this letter to Harmony Energy Limited (“Harmony”) pursuant to the Shares

In connection with the SPA and the transactions contemplated therein, we hereby represent, warrant
and undertake as follows:

	1.	 	WARRANTITES

	 	1.1	 	Warranties by the FEEL Shareholders. Each FEEL Shareholder warrants to Harmony
that:
	 
	 	(a)	 	the FEEL Shareholders are the joint legal owners, free and clear of any

shares and there are no other shares or rights to acquire new shares in FEEL and that
no person other than a FEEL Shareholder will have any beneficial interest in any
shares in FEEL;
	 
	 	(b)	 	he is not a party to any contract creating rights in respect of any FEEL
shares in any third Person or relating to the voting of FEEL shares or which would

1

 

	 	 	 	otherwise restrict his ownership of the FEEL shares (except for the
arrangements over the shares in FEEL pursuant to the terms of the CITIC KaWah
Facility);

	 	(c)	 	he has the full power and authority and full legal capacity to execute,
deliver and perform his obligations under the SPA and such SPA will be or have been
duly executed and delivered and constitute or will constitute a valid and binding
obligation of such FEEL Shareholder enforceable in accordance with its terms, except
that such enforcement may be subject to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to the
application of general principles of equity;
	 
	 	(d)	 	the execution, delivery and performance of the SPA will not result in a
breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default
under (i) any Governmental Rule or order applicable to him of any Governmental
Authority or any court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over him or any of
his properties or (ii) any agreement or instrument to which he is a party or by which
he is bound or to which any of his properties is subject, other than, in each case,
where such breach, violation or default has not had, and is not reasonably likely to
have, a material adverse effect on his ability to perform his obligations under the
SPA;
	 
	 	(e)	 	except for the relevant approval of and registration with the PRC State
Administration of Foreign Exchange under Circular 75 he is not and will not be
required to give any notice or to make any filing with or obtain any Permit, consent,
waiver or other authorization from any governmental or regulatory authority or other
Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the SPA;
	 
	 	(f)	 	there is no legal, administrative, arbitration or other action or proceeding
or governmental investigation pending, or, to his knowledge, threatened, against him
that challenges the validity or performance of the SPA, or which, if successful, could
hinder or prevent him from performing his obligations hereunder;
	 
	 	(g)	 	he has no contract, arrangement or understanding with any broker, finder or
similar agent with respect to the transactions contemplated by this letter or the SPA;
and
	 
	 	(h)	 	in relation to each of the Repayment Agreements dated September 18, 2007, the
Intercompany Loan Agreement dated June 26, 2008, the Tripartite Agreement dated
December 31, 2008, and the Guarantee dated January 12, 2009 (collectively, the
“Intercompany Agreements”) to which
he is a party, (i) he has the full power and authority and full legal capacity to
execute, deliver and perform such Intercompany Agreement, (ii) such
Intercompany Agreement is a valid and binding agreement of him, enforceable against
such party in accordance with its terms, and (iii) the execution and delivery of it
by him do not, and the performance of the obligations thereunder by him will not,
(x) conflict with any of, or require any other Consent of any Person under any
Governmental Rule or

2

 

	 	 	 	applicable law, or (y) violate any Governmental Rule or any provision of applicable
law, or require any Permit of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over
him.

	1.2	 	Each FEEL Shareholder hereby acknowledges that each statement in Clause 1.1 above is true and
correct as of the date of the SPA and as of the Completion Date, and Harmony has relied upon
such warranties to enter into the SPA. Each of the warranties shall be separate and
independent and save as expressly otherwise provided shall not be limited by reference to any
provision in this letter or the SPA.
	 
	1.3	 	During the period from the date of the SPA until the Completion Date, each FEEL Shareholder
shall notify Harmony in writing immediately if it becomes aware of a fact or circumstance
which would cause any warranty given herein or the undertaking set forth in Clause 2.1 herein
to be unfulfilled, untrue, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect if given in
respect of the facts or circumstances as at any time on or prior to the Completion. Such
updating to Completion shall not affect any of the conditions precedent to Harmony’s
obligations or satisfaction thereof under the SPA.
	 
	1.4	 	The warranties set out in Clause 1.1(a) through (g) shall survive indefinitely. The
warranties set out in Clause 1.1(h) shall survive until the General Warranty Expiration Date.

	2.	 	UNDERTAKINGS

	2.1	 	Pre-completion undertakings. During the period from the date of the SPA until the
Completion Date, none of the FEEL Shareholders shall transfer (or create or permit any
Encumbrance over) any interest in any of the shares in FEEL, (except for the creation of
Encumbrances over the shares in FEEL pursuant to the terms of the CITIC KaWah Facility), or
allow the creation, grant or issuance of new shares by FEEL or of any shares or rights to
subscribe for, or option warrants or other securities convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for the shares in FEEL.
	 
	2.2	 	Post-completion Undertakings. From and after the Completion Date, the FEEL
Shareholders shall maintain a shareholding percentage in FEEL of more than 50% until the date
falling on the earliest of (a) the expiration date of the lock-up period applicable to Harmony
following the Qualified IPO, (b) the date upon which Harmony’s Shareholding Percentage in the
Company falls below 15% and (c) the date falling sixty (60) months from the Completion Date
(such earliest date, the “Required Shareholding Ownership Expiration Date”). During
the period from the Completion Date until the Required Shareholding Ownership Expiration Date,
the shares held by the FEEL
Shareholders in FEEL will be free and clear of any and all Encumbrances, other than any
Encumbrance created by the CITIC KaWah Facility. For the purposes of this Clause 2.2,
“shareholding percentage” means, with respect to the FEEL Shareholders, the ratio
(expressed as a percentage) of the number of shares in FEEL held by the FEEL Shareholders
to the aggregate number of all the issued shares of FEEL.

3

 

	2.3	 	Further Assurances. Each FEEL Shareholder shall promptly and duly execute and
deliver such documents and take, and cause any relevant Person to take, such further action as
may be required or reasonably desirable in order to carry out effectively and accomplish the
intent and purpose of this letter and the SPA and to establish and protect the rights and
remedies created or intended to be created under this letter.

issue, grant options over or otherwise dispose of shares of the Company (including fractions of a
share) with or without preferred, deferred or other special rights or restrictions, whether in
regard to dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise and to such persons, at such times and

	 	(b)	 	Preemption Rights. Each Member shall have the right to purchase a pro rata portion
(based on its Shareholding Percentage) of New Securities that the Company may, from time to
time

11

 

	 	 	 	propose to sell and issue. The preemption rights granted under this Article 6(b) shall be subject
to the following provisions:

	 	(i)	 	In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it
shall give each Member written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities,
the price, and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Member
shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice (the “Preemption Cut-Off Date”) to agree
to purchase up to its pro rata portion (based on its Shareholding Percentage) of such New
Securities at the price and upon the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to
the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased. If a Member
fails to exercise the right to purchase its full pro rata portion (based on its Shareholding
Percentage) of the New Securities, each of the other participating Members may exercise an
additional right to purchase, on a pro rata basis (based on the proportion its Shareholding
Percentage bears to the aggregate Shareholding Percentage of the participating Members), the New
Securities not previously purchased.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	If some (but not all) of the Members do not elect to purchase their pro rata portion of
such New Securities by the Preemption Cut-Off Date, each of the participating Members shall have
the right, exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days after the Preemption Cut-Off Date (the
last day of which shall be the “Extended Preemption Cut-Off Date”), to purchase all or any
portion of the New Securities not purchased by the participating Members pursuant to Article
6(b)(i) pro rata (based on the proportion its Shareholding Percentage bears to the aggregate
Shareholding Percentage of the other participating Members).
	 
	 	(iii)	 	If none of the Members have exercised their right to purchase the New Securities by
the end of the Preemption Cut-Off Date or the collective participating Members have not offered
to purchase all of the New Securities by the end of the Extended Preemption Cut-Off Date (such
unpurchased New Securities, the “Remaining New Securities”), then the Company may sell all (but
not less than all) of the Remaining New Securities to a third Person.
	 
	 	(iv)	 	Regardless of whether the Members exercise their preemption rights granted under this
Article 6(b) by the Preemption Cut-Off Date or the Extended Preemption Cut-Off Date (as the case
may be), the Company shall have sixty (60) days after the Extended Preemption Cut-Off Date to sell
(or enter into an agreement pursuant to which the sale of New Securities covered thereby shall be
closed, if at all, within sixty (60) days from the date of said agreement) the New Securities at a
price and upon terms no more favourable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s
notice to the Members, provided that such purchaser(s) shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof
and shall thereby become bound by the terms and conditions of these Articles. In the event the
Company has not sold the New Securities within such 60-day period (or sold and issued New
Securities in accordance with the foregoing within sixty (60) days from the date of such
agreement) the Company shall not thereunder issue or sell any New Securities without first
offering such New Securities to the Members in the manner provided above. The completion of the sale of New Securities to the participating Members and
other purchasers shall occur simultaneously.

	 	(c)	 	Termination. The preemption rights granted under Article 6(b) shall expire
immediately upon the occurrence of a Qualified IPO or a Trade Sale.

PREFERRED SHARES

	7.	 	The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed upon the Preferred
Shares and the holders thereof are as follows:

12

 

	 	(a)	 	Voting Rights. Except as required by law or as provided to the contrary herein, the
holders of the Preferred Shares and the holders of the Ordinary Shares shall for voting
purposes be deemed to be members of the same class of share capital and shall vote together.
Each Preferred Share shall have such number of votes equal to the number of Ordinary Shares
into which such Preferred Shares is convertible at the time the vote is taken.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Dividends. Subject always to the provisions in Articles 63 and 98:

	 	(i)	 	the Preferred Shares shall accrue dividends as determined by the Board; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	notwithstanding paragraph (i) above, the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to
participate pro rata in any dividends paid on the Ordinary Shares on an as-if-converted basis,
in which case, the Preferred Shares shall confer upon the holders thereof the right, in
priority to any rights of the holders of any other class of Shares (including the Ordinary
Shares), to receive such dividends; provided however, during the period commencing on the
Shareholding Effective Date and ending on the earlier of (A) the date of the closing of the
Qualified IPO or (B) the date of the one year anniversary of the Shareholding Effective Date,
if the holders of Series A Preferred Shares, voting as a class, elect (at their sole and
absolute discretion) not to receive such dividends, then all holders of the Preferred Shares
shall also not be entitled to participate pro rata in any dividends paid by the Company.

	 	(c)	 	Liquidation Preference.

	 	(i)	 	In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether
voluntary or involuntary, each holder of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, on a
pro rata basis, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or funds of the
Company to the holders of any other class of shares of the Company ranked junior to the Preferred
Shares (including the Ordinary Shares) by reason of such holder’s ownership thereof, (A) in the
case of the Series A Preferred Shares, the greater of (1) the sum of (x) the Series A Preferred
Shares Purchase Price (as adjusted for any share dividends, combinations, splits,
recapitalizations or the like on, of or affecting the Series A Preferred Shares), for each Series
A Preferred Share then held by such holder and (y) any and all declared but unpaid dividends on
each such Series A Preferred Share and (2) such amount per Series A Preferred Share as would have
been payable had all such Series A Preferred Shares been converted into Ordinary Shares
immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up (such amount payable, the
“Series A Liquidation Preference”), and (B) in the case of the Series B Preferred Shares, the
greater of (1) the sum of (x) the Series B Preferred Shares Purchase price (as adjusted for any
share dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations, or the like on, of or affecting the
Series B Preferred Shares), for each Series B Preferred Share then held by such holder and (y)
any and all declared but unpaid dividends on each such Series B Preferred Share and (2) such
amount per Series B Preferred Share as would have been payable had all such Series B Preferred
Shares been converted into Ordinary Shares immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or
winding up (such amount payable, the “Series B Liquidation Preference”). If, upon the occurrence
of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Preferred Shares
shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full Liquidation Preference,
then the entire assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution shall be
distributed pro rata among the holders of the Preferred Shares in proportion to the relevant
Liquidation Preference each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive. If any holder of
Preferred Shares shall be deemed to have converted Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares pursuant
to this paragraph, then such holder shall not be entitled to receive any distribution that would
otherwise be made to holders of Preferred Shares that have not converted (or have not been deemed
to have converted) into Ordinary Shares.

13

 

	 	(ii)	 	After the payment of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the Series B Liquidation
Preference in accordance with Article 7(c)(i) above, the remaining assets shall be distributed
ratably to the holders of the Ordinary Shares.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Unless the holders of a majority of the Preferred Shares then outstanding shall elect
or determine otherwise by written consent, a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
any other Person in which the holders of the Shares as of immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation do not continue to hold at least a fifty percent (50%) interest in the surviving
entity or a Trade Sale shall be deemed to be a liquidation for purposes of payment of the
Liquidation Preferences and shall entitle the holders of the Preferred Shares to receive in cash,
securities or other property (with any non-cash amounts being valued as provided in Article
7(c)(iv)) in the amounts specified in Article 7(c)(i) and (ii).
	 
	 	(iv)	 	Subject to the following provisions of this Article 7(c)(iv), the value of any assets,
securities or other property (other than cash) to be received by the Members pursuant to Articles
7(c)(i), 7(c)(ii) and/or 7(c)(iii), shall be equal to the fair market value thereof, as
determined in good faith by the Board, if any (taking into account, if applicable, any
restrictions on the free marketability of such assets, securities or other property, arising
under applicable securities laws or otherwise, other than restrictions arising solely by virtue
of a Member’s status as an Affiliate of the Company or the entity surviving or resulting from a
change of control of the Company), except that any securities to be distributed to Members of the
Company in any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or
involuntary, or a change of control of the Company, shall be valued as follows.

	 	(A)	 	The method of valuation of securities not subject to investment letter or other similar
restrictions on free marketability shall be as follows:

	 	(I)	 	if the securities are then traded on a Recognised Stock Exchange (or a similar national
quotation system), then the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the
securities on such exchange or system over the 30-day period ending three (3) days prior to the
distribution;
	 
	 	(II)	 	if the securities are then actively traded over-the-counter, then the value shall be
deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the
30-day period ending three (3) days prior to the distribution; and
	 
	 	(III)	 	if there is no active public market for the securities, then the value shall be the
fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board.

	 	(B)	 	The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions
on free marketability shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined
as above in subparagraphs (A)(I), (A)(II), or (A)(III) of this Article 7(c)(iv) to reflect the
approximate fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board.

	 	(d)	 	Conversion of Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares. The Preferred Shares shall have
conversion rights into Ordinary Shares as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

	 	(i)	 	Conversion of Series A Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares:

	 	(A)	 	Each Series A Preferred Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof,
at any time, into such number of fully paid Ordinary Shares

14

 

	 	 	 	as is determined by dividing the Original Series A Conversion
Price applicable to such Series A Preferred Shares by the Series A
Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion. The initial
Series A Conversion Rate for each Series A Preferred Share shall
be 1.00 and the Series A Conversion Price shall be subject to
adjustment as described below.
	 
	 	(B)	 	Each Series A Preferred Share shall automatically convert (or if automatic conversion is
not legally possible, then each holder thereof shall request the conversion of its Series A
Preferred Shares) into such number of fully paid Ordinary Shares as is determined by the Series A
Conversion Rate applicable to the Series A Preferred Shares at the time, (i) immediately prior to
the consummation of a Qualified IPO, (ii) on the date upon which the Company obtains the consent
of the holders of at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the then outstanding Series A Preferred
Shares, voting as a single class, or (iii) forty-eight (48) months after the date of the
completion of the Company’s initial Series A Preferred Shares financing.

	 	(ii)	 	Conversion of Series B Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares:

	 	(A)	 	Each Series B Preferred Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof,
at any time, into such number of fully paid Ordinary Shares as is determined by dividing the
Original Series B Conversion Price applicable to such Series B Preferred Shares by the Series B
Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion. The initial Series B Conversion Rate for
each Series B Preferred Share shall be 0.5 and the Series B Conversion Price shall
be subject to adjustment as described below.
	 
	 	(B)	 	Each Series B Preferred Share shall automatically convert (or if automatic conversion is
not legally possible, then each holder thereof shall request the conversion of its Series B
Preferred Shares) into such number of fully paid Ordinary Shares as is determined by the Series B
Conversion Rate applicable to the Series B Preferred Shares at the time, (i) immediately prior to
the consummation of a Qualified IPO, (ii) on the date upon which the Company obtains the consent
of the holders of at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the then outstanding Series B Preferred
Shares, voting as a single class, or (iii) forty-eight (48) months after the date of the
completion of the Company’s initial Series A Preferred Shares financing.

	 	(iii)	 	Before any holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to convert the same into
Ordinary Shares and to receive a certificate or certificates therefor, such holder shall deliver
one or more share transfer certificates duly executed by it together with any share
certificate(s) representing the Preferred Shares to be converted, at the office of the Company or
of any transfer agent for the Preferred Shares, and shall give written notice to the Company at
such office that such holder elects to convert the same; provided, however, that in the event of
an automatic conversion pursuant to Article 7(d) (i)(B) or Article 7(d)(ii)(B), the outstanding
Preferred Shares shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of
such shares and whether or not duly executed share transfer certificate(s) are delivered or the
certificate(s) representing such shares are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent; and
provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificate(s) evidencing
Ordinary Shares issuable upon such automatic conversion unless the duly executed share transfer
certificate(s) and share certificate(s) evidencing such Preferred Shares are either delivered to
the Company or its transfer agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the Company or its
transfer agent that such share certificate(s) have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an
agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in
connection with such lost, stolen or destroyed share certificate(s). The Company shall, as soon
as

15

 

	 	 	 	practicable after such delivery, or after execution of such agreement in the
case of lost, stolen or destroyed certificate(s), issue and deliver at such
office to such holder of the Preferred Shares, a certificate or certificates
for the number of Ordinary Shares to which the holder shall be entitled and a
check or a wire transfer payable to the holder in the amount of any cash
amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional Ordinary Shares.
Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the
close of business on the date of such delivery of the share transfer
certificates or such surrender of the Preferred Shares to be converted, or in
the case of automatic conversion, on the date of closing of the Qualified IPO,
on the date of consent of the holders of 85% of the then outstanding Series A
Preferred Shares or the then outstanding Series B Preferred Shares, voting as a
single class, or on the date falling forty-eight (48) months after the date of
the completion of the Company’s initial Series A Preferred Shares financing,
and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon
such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or
holders of the Ordinary Shares on such date.
	 
	 	(iv)	 	No fractional Ordinary Shares shall be issued upon conversion of Preferred
Shares. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder of any Preferred Shares
would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay cash to such holder equal to such
fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one such Preferred Share as determined in
good faith by the Board. Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such
conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of Preferred Shares of
each holder at the time converting into Ordinary Shares and the aggregate number of
Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion.
	 
	 	(v)	 	The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

	 	(A)	 	If the Company at any time sells or issues (or, pursuant to this Article 7(d)(v),
is deemed to have issued) any unissued Ordinary Shares or preferred shares or other
Shares, warrants, options or other rights to purchase or otherwise acquire Shares (on an
as converted basis) of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for
additional Shares of the Company, other than Excluded Shares (collectively, the
“Additional Securities”), for a consideration per share less than the Series A Conversion
Price then in effect, such Series A Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with
such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such
Series A Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue by
a fraction, (1) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of Ordinary
Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to such issue, (B) the number of Ordinary
Shares issuable upon conversion of all Series A Preferred Shares issued and outstanding
immediately prior to such issue, (C) the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon
conversion or exercise of convertible securities (other than the Series A Preferred
Shares), options, and warrants outstanding immediately prior to such issue (collectively,
with (A) and (B), the “Ordinary Shares Equivalents”), and (D) the number of Ordinary
Shares which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of
Additional Securities so issued would purchase at the Series A Conversion Price in effect
on the date of and immediately prior to such issue; and (2) the denominator of which shall
be the sum of (A) the Ordinary Shares Equivalents, and (B) the number of such Additional
Securities so issued.
	 
	 	(B)	 	If the Company at any time sells or issues any Additional Securities, for a
consideration per share less than the Series B Conversion Price then in effect, such
Series B Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with

16

 

	 	 	 	such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined
by multiplying such Series B Conversion Price in effect on the
date of and immediately prior to such issue by a fraction, (1) the
numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the Ordinary Share
Equivalents issued and outstanding or issuable (other than the
Series B Preferred Shares) and (B) the number of Ordinary Shares
which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the
total number of Additional Securities so issued would purchase at
the Series B Conversion Price in effect on the date of and
immediately prior to such issue; and (2) the denominator of which
shall be the sum of (A) the Ordinary Shares Equivalents, and (B)
the number of such Additional Securities so issued.
	 
	 	(C)	 	For the purposes of any adjustment of any Conversion Price pursuant to this
Article 7(d)(v), the consideration received by the Company for the issue of any Additional
Securities shall be determined as follows:

	 	(I)	 	In the case of the issuance of Ordinary Shares for cash, the consideration shall
be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor after deducting any offering discounts,
commissions, compensation or expenses paid or incurred by the Company in connection with
the issuance and sale thereof.
	 
	 	(II)	 	In the case of the issuance of Ordinary Shares for a consideration in whole or
in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair
market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board.
	 
	 	(III)	 	In the case of the issuance of (i) options to purchase or rights to subscribe
for or purchase Ordinary Shares (other than Excluded Shares), (ii) securities by their
terms convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares (other than Excluded Shares),
or (iii) options to purchase or rights to subscribe for or purchase such convertible or
exchangeable securities:

	 	(a)	 	the aggregate maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of such
options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to have
been issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal
to the consideration, if any, received or to be received by the Company upon the issuance
of such options or rights plus the additional minimum consideration, if any, received or
to be received by the Company for the exercise of such options or rights for the Ordinary
Shares covered thereby;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the aggregate maximum number of Ordinary Shares deliverable upon conversion of or
in exchange for any such convertible or exchangeable securities, or upon the exercise of
options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities
and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof, shall be deemed to have been issued at the
time such securities were issued or such options or rights were issued and for a
consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received or to be received by the
Company for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received

17

 

	 		 	on account of accrued interest or accrued
dividends), plus the additional minimum
consideration, if any, received or to be received
by the Company upon the conversion or exchange of
such securities or the exercise of any related
options or rights.

	 	(c)	 	on any change in the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable upon exercise of any
such options or rights, or conversion of or exchange for such convertible or exchangeable
securities, or on any change in the minimum consideration for such options, rights or
securities, other than a change resulting from the antidilution provisions of such
options, rights or securities, then, upon such change becoming effective, such Conversion
Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have been obtained
had such change been in effect upon the original issuance of such options, rights or
securities; and
	 
	 	(d)	 	on the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such
rights to convert or exchange, or the expiration of any options or rights related to such
convertible or exchangeable securities, or upon any redemption or repurchase of any such
options, rights or securities, such Conversion Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such
Conversion Price as would have been obtained had the adjustment made upon the issuance of
such options, rights, convertible or exchangeable securities, or options or rights related
to such convertible or exchangeable securities, as the case may be, been made upon the
basis of the issuance of only the number of Ordinary Shares actually issued upon the
exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such convertible or
exchangeable securities, or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such
convertible or exchangeable securities, as the case may be.

	 	(D)	 	All outstanding Excluded Shares (including shares issuable upon conversion of the
Preferred Shares) shall be deemed to be outstanding for all purposes of the computations
of this Article 7(d)(v).
	 
	 	(E)	 	If the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at any time is increased by a share
dividend payable in Ordinary Shares or by a subdivision or split-up of Ordinary Shares,
then, on the date such payment is made or such change is effective, the applicable
Conversion Prices shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of Ordinary Shares
issuable on conversion of any Preferred Shares shall be increased in proportion to such
increase of outstanding shares.
	 
	 	(F)	 	If the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at any time is decreased by a
combination of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, then, on the effective date of such
combination, the applicable Conversion Prices shall be appropriately increased so that the
number of Ordinary Shares issuable on conversion of any Preferred Shares shall be
decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

18

 

	 	(G)	 	Subject to the provisions of Article 7(c), at any time, if there shall occur any
reorganization, recapitalization or any reclassification of the Shares (other than as a result of
a share dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares as provided above), or the
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person (other than a consolidation or
merger in which the Company is the continuing entity and which does not result in any change in
the Ordinary Shares), the Preferred Shares shall, after such reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification, consolidation or merger, be convertible (in lieu of the Ordinary Shares) into
the kind and number of shares or other securities or property of the Company or otherwise to
which such holder would have been entitled if immediately prior to such reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, such holder had converted its
Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares. The provisions of this Article shall similarly apply to
successive reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, consolidations or mergers.
	 
	 	(H)	 	In the event that the Company at any time shall declare a cash dividend upon its
Ordinary Shares payable otherwise than out of retained earnings or shall distribute to holders of
its Ordinary Shares share capital (other than Ordinary Shares), shares or other securities of
other Persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other Persons, assets
(excluding cash dividends) or options or rights (excluding options to purchase and rights to
subscribe for Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Company convertible into or exchangeable
for Ordinary Shares), then, in each such event, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall,
concurrent with the distribution to holders of the Ordinary Shares, receive a like distribution
based upon the number of Ordinary Shares into which the Preferred Shares are then convertible.
	 
	 	(I)	 	All calculations under this Article 7(d)(v) shall be made to the nearest cent or to the
nearest one hundredth (1/100) of a share, as the case may be.

	 	(vi)	 	No adjustment in a Conversion Price need be made if such adjustment would result in a
change in such Conversion Price of less than US$0.01. Any adjustment of less than US$0.01 which
is not made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any
subsequent adjustment which, on a cumulative basis, amounts to an adjustment of US$0.01 or more
in a Conversion Price.
	 
	 	(vii)	 	The Company will not through any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in
the carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 7(d) and in the taking of all such action
as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of
the Preferred Shares against impairment. This provision shall not restrict the Company’s right
to amend these provisions with the requisite Member consent in accordance with these Articles.
	 
	 	(viii)	 	Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Series A Conversion
Rate or the Series B Conversion Rate pursuant to this Article 7(d), the Company at its expense
shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and
prepare and furnish to each affected holder of Preferred Shares a certificate setting forth such
adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or
readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request of

19

 

	 	 	 	any holder of Preferred Shares furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder
a like certificate setting forth (i) all such adjustments and readjustments,
(ii) the Series A Conversion Rates or Series B Conversion Rates applicable to
each Preferred Share at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of Ordinary
Shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be
received upon the conversion of such holder’s Preferred Shares.
	 
	 	(ix)	 	The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but
unissued Ordinary Shares solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred
Shares such number of its Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the
conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares; and if at any time the number of authorized but
unissued Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding
Preferred Shares, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its
counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares to such number of
shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
	 
	 	(x)	 	No Preferred Shares that have been converted into Ordinary Shares after the original
issuance thereof shall ever again be reissued and all such shares so converted shall upon such
conversion cease to be a part of the authorized but unissued shares of the Company.

ORDINARY SHARES

	8.	 	The Ordinary Shares shall have the following rights:

	 	(a)	 	Voting Rights. Each holder of Ordinary Shares (in person or by telephone or by proxy
or corporate representative) shall have the right to one vote on a show of hands and the holder
of each Ordinary Share shall have the right to one vote on a poll for each Ordinary Share held,
and shall be entitled to notice of any general meeting in accordance with these Articles, and
shall be entitled to vote upon such matters and in such manner as may be provided for in these
Articles.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Dividends. Subject to Article 7(b), the holders of the Ordinary Shares shall, subject
to the Statute and these Articles, be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the
Directors, out of any assets of the Company legally available therefor, such dividends as may
be declared from time to time by the Directors in accordance with Article 7(b).
	 
	 	(c)	 	Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the assets of the Company shall be distributed as
provided in Article 7(c).

REGISTER OF MEMBERS

	9.	 	The Company shall maintain a register of its Members and every person whose name is entered as
a Member in the register of Members shall be entitled without payment to receive within two (2)
months after allotment or lodgement of transfer (or within such other period as the conditions of
issue shall provide) one certificate for all his shares or several certificates each for one or
more of his shares upon payment of fifty cents (US$0.50) for every certificate after the first or
such less sum as the Directors shall from time to time determine, provided that in respect of a
share or shares held jointly by several persons the Company shall not be bound to issue more than
one certificate and delivery of a certificate for a share to one of the several joint holders
shall be sufficient delivery to all such holders.

TRANSFER OF SHARES

	10.	 	Restrictions on Transferability.

20

 

	 	(a)	 	Transfer Restrictions.

	 	(i)	 	No Member may Transfer any Shares held by such Member except in accordance with the
provisions of these Articles.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Prior to the date falling one (1) year after the completion of the initial Series A
financing, no Member shall Transfer any of its Shares; provided, however, that:

	 	(A)	 	TPG and its Affiliates may Transfer Shares to one (1) or more limited partners of TPG
Star, L.P. or its Affiliates for a minimum of US$10,000,000 per Person, so long as, after
giving effect to all such Transfers, TPG and its Affiliates hold Shares having a Shareholding
Percentage of at least six percent (6%),
	 
	 	(B)	 	Harmony may Transfer Shares to one (1) or more of its Affiliates for a minimum of
US$10,000,000 per Person; and
	 
	 	(C)	 	Any Transfer effected by any Member in accordance with the Article 10 (b), (c) and
(e) of these Articles, Clause 7 of the TPG SPA, or Clause 4 of the Sino Link SPA shall be permitted.

	 	(iii)	 	On and after the date falling one (1) year after the Shareholding Effective Date,
no Member or any Affiliate of such Member shall Transfer any of its Shares; provided, however,
that subject to Clause 14.3 of the Shareholders’ Agreement, any Transfer effected by any
Member in accordance with the Article 10 (b), (c) and (e) of these Articles, Clause 7 of the
TPG SPA, or Clause 4 of the Sino Link SPA shall be permitted.
	 
	 	(iv)	 	At any time but subject to Clause 14.3 of the Shareholders’ Agreement, FEEL may
Transfer (i) Shares having an aggregate Shareholding Percentage of up to five percent (5%) to
persons who are bona fide directors, officers or employees of the Company or MIE as of the
date hereof, but any such Transfer of Shares to any one director, officer or employee shall
not result in any one such transferee holding an aggregate Shareholding Percentage exceeding
two percent (2%).

	 	(b)	 	Right of First Refusal.

	 	(i)	 	Except for a Transfer in accordance with Article 10(a)(ii), (iii) or (iv), 10(c) or
10(e) of these Articles, Clause 7 of the TPG SPA or Clause 4 of the Sino Link SPA if at any
time, any Member (the “Offering Member”) desires to Transfer all or part of its Shares (the
“Offered Shares”) to a Prospective Transferee, the other Members (the “Non-Offering Members”)
shall have the right of first refusal to purchase the Offered Shares upon the terms and subject
to the conditions hereinafter provided. Prior to any Proposed Transfer of Offered Shares, the
Offering Member shall deliver to each Non-Offering Member (with a copy to the Company) a
written irrevocable bona fide offer to sell the Offered Shares to the Non-Offering Members
stating the number of Shares to be sold, the price and terms thereof (which shall not include
any warranties or indemnities (other than capacity and authority) from the transferee) and the
identity of the Prospective Transferee (a “Transfer Notice”).
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Each Non-Offering Member shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of a
Transfer Notice within which to elect to purchase its pro rata share (based on the proportion
its Shareholding Percentage bears to the aggregate Shareholding Percentage of all Non-Offering
Members) of any or all such Offered Shares on the terms offered to the Prospective Transferee
in the Transfer Notice, which election shall be made by an

21

 

	 	 	 	irrevocable written notice delivered by each electing Non-Offering Member to
the Offering Member (with a copy to the Company and each of the other
Non-Offering Members). The last day of such 30-day period is hereinafter
referred to as the “Cut-Off Date”. Any new terms, conditions or price
offered by the Offering Member to any Non-Offering Member during such 30-day
period shall be offered to each Non-Offering Member and shall be set forth in
a new Transfer Notice to each such Non-Offering Member, which new Transfer
Notice shall trigger a new 30-day period as provided above. Any election to
purchase the Offered Shares must be in accordance with the terms of the
Transfer Notice then in effect, and otherwise must be unconditional (except
that such purchase may be subject to the prior receipt of statutory or
regulatory approvals necessary to complete such purchase). Non-Offering
Members who elect to purchase the Offered Shares pursuant to this Article
10(b)(ii) are hereinafter referred to individually as an “Electing Offeree”
and collectively as the “Electing Offerees”.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	If some, but not all, of the Non-Offering Members do not elect to purchase their
pro rata share of the Offered Shares by the Cut-Off Date, each of the Electing Offerees shall
have the right, exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days after the Cut-Off Date (the last
day of which shall be the “Extended Cut-Off Date”), to purchase all or any portion of the
Offered Shares not purchased by the Electing Offerees pursuant to Article 10(b)(ii) pro rata
(based on the proportion its Shareholding Percentage bears to the aggregate Shareholding
Percentage of the other Electing Offerees).
	 
	 	(iv)	 	The consideration for such Offered Shares shall be paid in full in cash, or in such
other form as may be agreed between the Offering Member and the Electing Offerees.
	 
	 	(v)	 	The completion of each such purchase shall take place on the thirtieth (30th) day
after the Cut-Off Date or Extended Cut Off Date (as the case may be), or if such day is not a
Business Day, then on the next such Business Day (the “Scheduled Completion Date”).
The Scheduled Completion Date may be amended upon the mutual agreement of the
Offering Member and the Electing Offerees, and in any case shall be extended
to the extent necessary in order to comply with applicable laws and
regulations (including obtaining any necessary governmental approvals for the
Transfer of such Offered Shares). On or before the relevant Scheduled
Completion Date, the Offering Member shall surrender the certificate or
certificates representing the Offered Shares to be purchased on such
Scheduled Completion Date (or, if such Offering Member alleges that such
certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit
and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company to indemnify the Company
against any claim that may be made against the Company on account of the
alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Electing
Offerees, against payment in full of the consideration for such Offered
Shares in accordance with the provisions in this Article 10 (b).
	 
	 	(vi)	 	Upon any election of the right to purchase such Offered Shares by an Electing
Offeree, the Offering Member and such Electing Offeree shall use their reasonable best efforts
to secure any approvals required in connection therewith.
	 
	 	(vii)	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Non-Offering Members have not exercised their
right to purchase all the Offered Shares by the end of the Cut-Off Date or the collective
Electing Offerees have not offered to purchase all of the Offered Shares by the end of the
Extended Cut-Off Date, then the Non-Offering Members shall be deemed to have forfeited any
right to purchase such Offered Shares, and the Offering Members shall be free to sell all, but
not less than all, of the Offered Shares to the Prospective Transferee substantially on the
terms and conditions set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice not later than the sixtieth
(60th) day after the Cut-Off Date or the Extended Cut-Off Date,

22

 

	 	 	 	as the case may be.

	 	(viii)	 	If the Electing Offeree(s) fail(s) to complete the purchase of all of the
Offered Shares on the Scheduled Completion Date in accordance with the terms of these
Articles and the applicable Transfer Notice and such failure is not remedied within
seven (7) days of the Scheduled Completion Date, then the Offering Member may sell all
(but not less than all) of the Offered Shares to the Prospective Transferee not later
than the sixtieth (60th) day after the Scheduled Completion Date. If the necessary
governmental approvals to an Electing Offeree’s purchase of any Offered Shares are not
obtained within a reasonable period of time after the end of the 60-day period following
the Cut-Off Date or the Extended Cut-Off Date, as the case may be, such Offered Shares
must be re-offered to the Non-Offering Members (other than the Electing Offeree) as
Offered Shares under this Article 10(b).
	 
	 	(ix)	 	Any sale to a Prospective Transferee pursuant to either Article 10(b)(vii) or
Article 10(b)(viii) shall be on terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the
price per Share) no more favourable to such Prospective Transferee than those set forth
in the applicable Transfer Notice received by the Non-Offering Members and the Offering
Member must sell all of the Offered Shares and not some only.
	 
	 	(x)	 	If all of the Offered Shares are not sold to any Person within the 60-day period
specified in Article 10(b)(vii) or Article 10(b)(viii), then the rights of the other
Members under this Article 10(b) shall be fully restored and reinstated as if such offer
had never been made and the Offering Member must again follow the procedures set forth
in this Article 10(b) prior to the sale of any of its Shares to any Person, except for
Transfers otherwise permitted by these Articles.

	 	(c)	 	Tag-Along Rights

	 	(i)	 	Except for a Transfer pursuant to Article 10 (a) (ii) (iii) (iv) and 10(e) of
these Articles, Clause 7 of the SPA, or Clause 4 of the Sino Link SPA, and subject
always to Article 10(b), if at any time FEEL (“Tag-Along Seller”) proposes to
Transfer Shares to a Prospective Transferee that, when aggregated with all other Shares
Transferred by such Tag-Along Seller and its Affiliates, would result in such Tag-Along
Seller owning less than fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding Shares, such Tag
Along Seller shall promptly give written notice to the Company (“Tag-Along
Notice”) and each of the other Members at least forty-five (45) days prior to the
completion of such Transfer and shall cause the Prospective Transferee to make an offer
for all of the Shares of such other Members on the same terms and conditions of the
Proposed Transfer (provided that TPG and Sino Link shall only provide customary
representations of title and capacity excluding any representations or warranties with
respect to the business, assets or liabilities or financial condition of the Company)
(the “Tag-Along Offer”), except that the price per Share pursuant to the
Tag-Along Offer shall be the Tag-Along Offer Purchase Price. The Tag-Along Notice shall
describe in reasonable detail the Proposed Transfer including, without limitation, the
class and number of Shares to be sold, the price and terms thereof and the identity of
the Prospective Transferee and attach a copy of the Tag-Along Offer. Any subsequent
Transfers of Shares by persons other than TPG and Sino Link shall be subject to the same
tag-along right under this Article 10(c).
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Each non-Transferring Member shall have a period of twenty (20) days after
receipt of a Tag-Along Notice within which to accept the Tag-Along Offer, which
acceptance shall be made by an irrevocable written notice delivered by each electing
non-Transferring Member (each, a “Participant”) to the Tag-Along Seller and the
Prospective Transferee (with a copy to the Company and each of the other
non-Transferring Members). No holders of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to sell
Preferred Shares pursuant to this Article 10(c), but shall be permitted to convert or

23

 

	 	 	 	exercise its applicable portion of Preferred Shares for Ordinary Shares concurrently
with, and subject to, the consummation of the Proposed Transfer, in which case each of
the other Members shall take all such steps necessary to be taken by each of them
respectively in order to give effect to such conversion or exercise.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Each Participant shall effect its participation in the Transfer by delivering to
the Tag-Along Seller (to hold in trust as agent for such Participant), at least three (3)
Business Days prior to the date scheduled for such Transfer as set forth in the Tag-Along
Notice, one (1) or more share transfer certificate(s) duly executed by the Participant,
together with any share certificates, representing the Shares which such Participant is
entitled to Transfer in accordance with Article 10(c)(ii). Such certificate or
certificates or other instruments, as applicable, shall be delivered by the Tag-Along
Seller to the Proposed Transferee on the date scheduled for such Transfer in consummation
of the Transfer pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice and
such Proposed Transferee shall remit to each such Participant the portion of the sale
proceeds to which such Participant is entitled by reason of its participation in such
sale. The completion of the Transfer by the Tag-Along Seller and the Transfer by each
Participant shall occur simultaneously. The Tag-Along Seller and the Participants shall
be responsible for their respective pro rata portions of the aggregate transaction costs
and expenses incurred by the Tag-Along Seller and the Participants in connection with
such Transfers and the Tag-Along Seller and the Participants shall reimburse the other to
the extent required to give effect to such expense allocation. For purposes of this
Article 10(c)(iii), “pro rata portion” shall mean for each Participant a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares to be Transferred by such
Participant pursuant to this Article 10(c) and the denominator of which is the total
number of Shares to be Transferred pursuant to this Article 10(c).
	 
	 	(iv)	 	The non-exercise of the rights of any of the non-Transferring Members to
participate in one (1) or more Transfers of Shares under this Article 10(c) shall not
adversely affect its right to participate in subsequent Transfers of Shares subject to
this Article 10(c).
	 
	 	(v)	 	The Tag-Along Seller shall not be permitted to Transfer Shares in circumstances
where Article 10(c) is applicable unless the sale of Shares by Participants exercising
their rights under this Article 10(c) is effected simultaneously, and any attempted
Transfer by the Tag-Along Seller in violation hereof shall be null and void.
	 
	 	(vi)	 	Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 10(c) to the contrary, there
shall be no liability on the part of the Tag-Along Seller to any other Member in the
event no Shares are sold (by any of the Tag-Along Seller or any Participant) to the
Proposed Transferee even if the provisions of this Article 10(c) have been triggered.

	 	(d)	 	Authorization; Effect of Failure to Comply.

	 	(i)	 	The Members shall cause the Company to take any and all steps for and on behalf
of a transferring Member to give effect to the Transfer of Shares pursuant to this
Article 10.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Any Proposed Transfer not made in compliance with the requirements of these
Articles shall be null and void ab initio, shall not be recorded on the books of the
Company or its transfer agent and shall not be recognized by the Company.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	If any Member becomes obligated to sell any Offered Shares to any Exercising
Offeree under these Articles and fails to deliver a share transfer certificate duly
executed by the Member, together with any share certificates, representing such purchased
Offered Shares and Transfer the Offered Shares in accordance with the terms of these
Articles, such Exercising Offeree may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies
it may have, send to such Member the purchase price for such Offered Shares as is herein
specified

24

 

	 	 	 	and request the Company to redeem and cancel on its books the relevant Shares
to be sold and issue the relevant Shares to such Exercising Offeree.

	 	(e)	 	Exempt Transfers.

	 	(i)	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the foregoing provisions of
this Article 10 shall not apply to a Transfer by a Member of all or part of its Shares to an
Affiliate provided, however, that any such Transfer shall be in accordance with
each of the following terms:

	 	(A)	 	such Member shall provide written notice of such Transfer to each other Member;
	 
	 	(B)	 	the transferee to whom the Member is to Transfer the Shares is a Non-Competing Person;
	 
	 	(C)	 	such Member shall remain bound by its obligations under the Shareholders’ Agreement;
and
	 
	 	(D)	 	if any such transferee Affiliate shall cease to be an Affiliate of such Member, any
Shares held by such transferee shall be promptly retransferred to such Member or transferred to
another of such Member’s Affiliates.

	 	(ii)	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of this
Article 10 shall not apply to (i) the sale of Shares pursuant to a Qualified IPO or any
Transfer after a Qualified IPO; and (ii) the creation of Encumbrance over the Shares pursuant
to the CITIC KaWah Facility.

	11.	 	The instrument of transfer of any share shall be in writing and shall be executed by or on
behalf of the transferor and the transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of a share until
the name of the transferee is entered in the register in respect thereof.
	 
	12.	 	Subject to Article 10(d)(i), the Directors may in their absolute discretion decline to
register any Transfer of shares without assigning any reason therefor. If the Directors refuse to
register a Transfer they shall notify the transferee within two (2) months of such refusal.
	 
	13.	 	The registration of Transfers may be suspended at such time and for such periods as the
Directors may from time to time determine, provided, always that such
registration shall not be suspended for more than forty-five (45) days in any year.
	 
	14.	 	Each Member shall agree to customary market stand-off or lock-up restrictions required by the
managing underwriter of the Qualified IPO.

REDEEMABLE SHARES

	15.	(a)	 	Subject to the provisions of the Statute and the Memorandum, shares may be issued on the
terms that they are, or at the option of the Company or the holder are, to be redeemed on such
terms and in such manner as the Company, before the issue of the shares, may by Special
Resolution determine.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Subject to the provisions of the Statute and the Memorandum, the Company may purchase
its own shares (including fractions of a share), including any redeemable shares,
provided that the manner of purchase has first been authorised by the Company in
general meeting and may make payment therefor in any manner authorised by the Statute,
including out of capital.

25

 

CLASS RIGHTS AND VARIATION OF RIGHTS OF SHARES

	16.	(a)	 	Class Rights. Whenever the capital of the Company is divided into different
Classes, the rights attached to any such Class may (unless otherwise provided by the terms of
issue of the Shares of that Class) only be materially and adversely varied or abrogated with the
consent in writing of the holders of not less than a majority of the issued shares of the
relevant Class, or with the sanction of a resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders
of the shares of such Class, by a majority of the votes cast at such a meeting, but not
otherwise, provided that (i) the rights attached to the Series A Preferred Shares may
only be materially and adversely varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders
of no less than sixty-six and two-thirds percent
(662/3%) of the issued Series A Preferred Shares
or with the sanction of a resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the Series A
Preferred Shares by sixty-six and two-thirds percent (662/3%)  of the votes cast at such meeting;
(ii) the rights attached to the Series B Preferred Shares may only be materially and adversely
varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of no less than sixty-six and
two-thirds percent (662/3%)  of the issued Series B Preferred Shares or with the sanction of a
resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares by
sixty-six and two-thirds percent
(662/3%) of the votes cast at such meeting. To every such separate
meeting all the provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings of the Company or to
the proceedings thereat shall, mutatis mutandis, apply, except that the necessary quorum shall be
one or more persons at least holding or representing by proxy a majority in nominal or par value
amount of the issued shares of the relevant Class (but so that if at any adjourned meeting of
such holders a quorum as above defined is not present, those Members who are present shall form a
quorum) and that, subject to the terms of issue of the shares of that Class, every Member of the
Class shall on a poll have one vote for each share of the Class held by him.
	 
	 	(b)	 	For the purposes of convening and holding a meeting pursuant to this Article, the
Directors may treat all the Classes or any two or more Classes as forming one Class if they
consider that all such Classes would be affected in the same way by the proposals under
consideration but in any other case shall treat them as separate Classes.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The rights conferred upon the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be deemed to be
materially adversely varied or abrogated by the following acts of the Company:

	 	(i)	 	any change to the name of the Company;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	any amendment to the Memorandum and these Articles or other constitutive documents of
the Company, to the extent such amendment would adversely affect the rights already granted to
the holders of the Preferred Shares;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	any liquidation, winding up, dissolution, receivership, bankruptcy or any like scheme
or arrangement of the Company; or
	 
	 	(iv)	 	any split, subdivision, conversion, reclassification or modification of any type of
outstanding shares or securities of the Company to the extent it would impair or reduce the
rights of the holders of Preferred Shares.

COMMISSION ON SALE OF SHARES

	17.	 	The Company may in so far as the Statute from time to time permits pay a commission to any
person in consideration of his subscribing or agreeing to subscribe whether absolutely or
conditionally for any shares of the Company. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of
cash or the lodgement of fully or partly paid-up shares or partly in one way and partly in the
other. The Company may also on any issue of shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.
	 
	18.	 	[Reserved].

26

 

LIEN ON SHARES

	19.	 	The Company shall have a first and paramount lien and charge on all shares (whether fully
paid-up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for
all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not)
by such Member or his estate, either alone or jointly with any other person, whether a Member or
not, but the Directors may at any time declare any share to be wholly or in part exempt from the
provisions of this Article. The registration of a Transfer of any such share shall operate as a
waiver of the Company’s lien (if any) thereon. The Company’s lien (if any) on a share shall
extend to all dividends or other monies payable in respect thereof.
	 
	20.	 	The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any shares on which the
Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless a sum in respect of which the lien exists is
presently payable, nor until the expiration of fourteen (14) days after a notice in writing
stating and demanding payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as
is presently payable, has been given to the registered holder or holders for the time being of
the share, or the person, of which the Company has notice, entitled thereto by reason of his
death or bankruptcy.
	 
	21.	 	To give effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise some person to Transfer the
shares sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the
shares comprised in any such Transfer, and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the
purchase money, nor shall his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity
in the proceedings in reference to the sale.
	 
	22.	 	The proceeds of such sale shall be received by the Company and applied in payment of such
part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and the residue,
if any, shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the shares
before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the shares at the date of the sale.

CALL ON SHARES

	23.	(a)	 	The Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies
unpaid on their shares (whether on account of the nominal value of the shares or by way of
premium or otherwise) and not by the conditions of allotment thereof made payable at fixed terms,
provided that no call shall be payable at less than one month from the date fixed for the
payment of the last preceding call, and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen
(14) days notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times
so specified the amount called on the shares. A call may be revoked or postponed as the Directors
may determine. A call may be made payable by installments.
	 
	 	(b)	 	A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the
Directors authorising such call was passed.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in
respect thereof.

	24.	 	If a sum called in respect of a share is not paid before or on a day appointed for payment
thereof, the persons from whom the sum is due shall pay interest on the sum from the day
appointed for payment thereof to the time of actual payment at such rate not exceeding ten per
cent (10%) per annum as the Directors may determine, but the Directors shall be at liberty to
waive payment of such interest either wholly or in part.
	 
	25.	 	Any sum which by the terms of issue of a share becomes payable on allotment or at any fixed
date, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium or otherwise,
shall for the purposes of these Articles be deemed to be a call duly made, notified and payable
on the date on which by the terms of issue the same becomes payable, and in the case of
non-payment all the relevant

27

 

	 	 	provisions of these Articles as to payment of interest forfeiture or otherwise shall apply
as if such sum had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.
	 
	26.	 	The Directors may, on the issue of shares, differentiate between the holders as to the amount
of calls or interest to be paid and the times of payment.

	27.	(a)	 	The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Member willing to advance the
same, all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any shares held by him, and upon all
or any of the monies so advanced may (until the same would but for such advances, become payable)
pay interest at such rate not exceeding (unless the Company in general meeting shall otherwise
direct) seven per cent per annum, as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member
paying such sum in advance.
	 
	 	(b)	 	No such sum paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such sum to any
portion of a dividend declared in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such sum
would, but for such payment, become presently payable.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

	28.	(a)	 	If a Member fails to pay any call or installment of a call or to make any payment
required by the terms of issue on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Directors may, at
any time thereafter during such time as any part of the call, installment or payment remains
unpaid, give notice requiring payment of so much of the call, installment or payment as is
unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued and all expenses that have been
incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. Such notice shall name a day (not earlier
than the expiration of fourteen (14) days from the date of giving of the notice) on or before
which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that, in the event of
non-payment at or before the time appointed the shares in respect of which such notice was given
will be liable to be forfeited.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any share
in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment
required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that
effect. Such forfeiture shall include all dividends declared in respect of the forfeited share
and not actually paid before the forfeiture.
	 
	 	(c)	 	A forfeited share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such
manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale or disposition the forfeiture
may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit.

	29.	 	A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of the
forfeited shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all monies
which, at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares
together with interest thereon, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have
received payment in full of all monies whenever payable in respect of the shares.
	 
	30.	 	A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or the Secretary of the Company that
a share in the Company has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the declaration shall be
conclusive evidence of the fact therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to
the share. The Company may receive the consideration given for the share on any sale or
disposition thereof and may execute a transfer of the share in favour of the person to whom the
share is sold or disposed of and he shall thereupon be registered as the holder of the share and
shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title
to the share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the
forfeiture, sale or disposal of the share.
	 
	31.	 	The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any
sum

28

 

	 	 	which, by the terms of issue of a share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on
account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium as if the same had been
payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

REGISTRATION OF EMPOWERING INSTRUMENTS

	32.	 	The Company shall be entitled to charge a fee not exceeding
one dollar (US$1.00) on the
registration of every probate, letters of administration, certificate of death or marriage, power
of attorney, notice in lieu of distringas, or other instrument.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

	33.	 	In case of the death of a Member, the survivor or survivors where the deceased was a joint
holder, and the legal personal representatives of the deceased where he was a sole holder, shall
be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his interest in the shares,
but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of any such deceased holder from any
liability in respect of any shares which had been held by him solely or jointly with other
persons.

	34.	(a)	 	Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or
liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such
evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors and subject as
hereinafter provided, elect either to be registered himself as holder of the share or to make
such transfer of the share to such other person nominated by him as the deceased or bankrupt
person could have made and to have such person registered as the transferee thereof, but the
Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they
would have had in the case of a transfer of the share by that Member before his death or
bankruptcy as the case may be.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If the person so becoming entitled shall elect to be registered himself as holder he
shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so
elects.

	35.	 	A person becoming entitled to a share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or
dissolution of the holder (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same
dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of
the share, except that he shall not, before being registered as a Member in respect of the share,
be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to
meetings of the Company provided however that the Directors may at any time give notice
requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to transfer the share and
if the notice is not complied with within ninety days the Directors may thereafter withhold
payment of all dividends, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the share until the
requirements of the notice have been complied with.

AMENDMENT
OF MEMORANDUM, CHANGE OF LOCATION OF REGISTERED 
 OFFICE & ALTERATION OF CAPITAL

	36.	(a)	 	Subject to and in so far as permitted by the provisions of the Statute and these
Articles, the Company may from time to time by ordinary resolution:

	 	(i)	 	increase the share capital by such sum to be divided into shares of such amount or
without nominal or par value as the resolution shall prescribe and with such rights, priorities
and privileges annexed thereto, as the Company in general meeting may determine.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into shares of larger amount
than its existing shares;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	by subdivision of its existing shares or any of them divide the whole or any part of
its share capital into shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the Memorandum or into

29

 

	 	 	 	shares without nominal or par value;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	cancel any shares which at the date of the passing of the resolution have not been
taken or agreed to be taken by any person.

	 	(b)	 	All new shares created hereunder shall be subject to the same provisions with reference
to the payment of calls, liens, transfer, transmission, forfeiture and otherwise as the shares in
the original share capital.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Without prejudice to Article 16 hereof and subject to the provisions of the Statute,
the Company may by Special Resolution reduce its share capital and any capital redemption reserve
fund.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Subject to the provisions of the Statute and Article 16, the Company may by Special
Resolution: liquidate, wind up, dissolve, enter into receivership or declare bankruptcy or any
like scheme or arrangement.

CLOSING REGISTER OF MEMBERS OR FIXING RECORD DATE

	37.	 	For the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of
Members or any adjournment thereof, or Members entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in
order to make a determination of Members for any other proper purpose, the Directors of the
Company may provide that the register of Members shall be closed for transfers for a stated
period but not to exceed in any case forty (40) days. If the register of Members shall be so
closed for the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
Members such register shall be so closed for at least ten days immediately preceding such meeting
and the record date for such determination shall be the date of the closure of the register of
Members.
	 
	38.	 	In lieu of or apart from closing the register of Members, the Directors may fix in advance a
date as the record date for any such determination of Members entitled to notice of or to vote at
a meeting of the Members and for the purpose of determining the Members entitled to receive
payment of any dividend the Directors may, at or within ninety (90) days prior to the date of
declaration of such dividend fix a subsequent date as the record date for such determination.
	 
	39.	 	If the register of Members is not so closed and no record date is fixed for the determination
of Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Members or Members entitled to
receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on
which the resolution of the Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be,
shall be the record date for such determination of Members. When a determination of Members
entitled to vote at any meeting of Members has been made as provided in this Article, such
determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

GENERAL MEETING

	40.	(a)	 	Annual General Meeting. Subject to paragraph (c) hereof, a general meeting of
the Members (the “Annual General Meeting”) shall be held within one (1) year of
incorporation of the Company and thereafter, once in every calendar year and not later than
fifteen (15) months after the holding of the last preceding Annual General Meeting. The Annual
General Meeting shall be held at such time and place as the Directors shall specify in the
notice. At these meetings the report of the Directors (if any) shall be presented.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Extraordinary Meeting. Extraordinary meetings of the Members shall be held
upon the request of the Chairman, the TPG Director or any two Directors (or as otherwise
required pursuant to the provisions of the Statute) upon at least fourteen (14) days written
notice (containing the agenda, date, time and place of the meeting) to all Members and shall be
held at such time and place designated in such notice, with attendance in person or by
telephone or by proxy or corporate representative; provided, however, that,
subject to applicable law, such fourteen (14)

30

 

	 	 	 	day notice requirement may be waived by Members having an aggregate Shareholding
Percentage of not less than ninety percent (90%) in a particular case. Any notice
period referred to above shall exclude both the day on which the notice is served or
deemed to be served and the day for which the notice is given.
	 
	 	(c)	 	If the Company is exempted as defined in the Statute, it may but shall not be
obliged to hold an annual general meeting.
	 
	41.	(a)	 	The Directors may whenever they think fit, and they shall on the requisition of Members
of the Company holding at the date of the deposit of the requisition not less than one-tenth of
such of the paid-up capital of the Company as at the date of the deposit carries the right of
voting at general meetings of the Company, proceed to convene a general meeting of the Company.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The requisition must state the objects of the meeting and must be signed by the
requisitionists and deposited at the registered office of the Company and may consist of
several documents in like form each signed by one or more requisitionists.
	 
	 	(c)	 	If the Directors do not within twenty-one (21) days from the date of the deposit of
the requisition duly proceed to convene a general meeting, the requisitionists, or any of them
representing more than one-half of the total voting rights of all of them, may themselves
convene a general meeting, but any meeting so convened shall not be held after the expiration
of three months after the expiration of the said twenty-one (21) days.
	 
	 	(d)	 	A general meeting convened as aforesaid by requisitionists shall be convened in the
same manner as nearly as possible as that in which general meetings are to be convened by
Directors.

NOTICE OF MEETINGS OF THE MEMBERS

	42.	 	General Meeting. At least five (5) days’ notice shall be given of an Annual General
Meeting or any other general meeting. Every notice shall be exclusive of the day on which it is
given or deemed to be given and of the day for which it is given and shall specify the place, the
day and the hour of the meeting and the general nature of the business and shall be given in
manner hereinafter mentioned or in such other manner if any as may be prescribed by the Company
provided that a general meeting of the Company shall, whether or not the notice specified
in this regulation has been given and whether or not the provisions of Article 41 have been
complied with, be deemed to have been duly convened if it is so agreed:

	 	(a)	 	in the case of a general meeting called as an Annual General Meeting by all the
Members entitled to attend and vote thereat or their proxies; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	in the case of any other general meeting by a majority in number of the Members
having a right to attend and vote at the meeting, being a majority in nominal value or in the
case of shares without nominal or par value a majority of the shares in issue, or their
proxies.

	43.	 	[Reserved].
	 
	44.	 	The accidental omission to give notice of a general meeting to, or the non-receipt of notice
of a meeting by, any person entitled to receive notice shall not invalidate the proceedings of
that meeting.

PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS

	45.	 	No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum of Members is present
at the time when the meeting proceeds to business. The quorum for any meeting of the Members
shall be Members whose aggregate Shareholding Percentage is not less than sixty-six and
two-thirds percent
(662/3%) of the Shares entitled to vote present personally or by duly appointed
proxy, attorney or representative, provided, however, that for the general
meeting to be validly convened, TPG shall be

31

 

	 	 	present or represented. If within half an hour of the time appointed for the meeting no
quorum is present, the meeting shall be adjourned to the same day one (1) week later at the
same time and place or to such other day or time as the Chairman may designate upon at
least five (5) days’ written notice to all of the Members. If at the adjourned meeting no
quorum is present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, Members
whose Shareholding Percentage is not less than sixty-six and
two-thirds percent (662/3%) of
the Shares entitled to vote present or represented at such meeting shall constitute a
quorum; provided, however, that no action or decision shall be taken on any
matter not specified in the agenda of the meeting when it was first called.
	 
	46.	 	Except as otherwise required by applicable law, a resolution (including a Special Resolution)
in writing (circulated to all the Members) approved and signed by all the Members shall be valid
and effectual as if it had been a resolution passed at a general meeting of the Members duly
convened and held.
	 
	47.	 	A person may participate at a general meeting by conference telephone or other communications
equipment by means of which all the persons participating in the meeting can communicate with
each other. Participation by a person in a general meeting in this manner is treated as presence
in person at that meeting.
	 
	48.	 	The Chairman for the time being shall also preside as chairman at any general meeting.
	 
	49.	 	If the Chairman is absent at any general meeting, a Director shall act as the chairman.
	 
	50.	 	The Chairman may, with the consent of any general meeting duly constituted hereunder, and
shall if so directed by the meeting, adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to
place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left
unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. When a general meeting is
adjourned for thirty (30) days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the
case of an original meeting; save as aforesaid it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an
adjournment or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned general meeting.
	 
	51.	 	At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show
of hands unless a poll is, before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands,
demanded by the Chairman or any other Member present in person or by telephone or by proxy or
corporate representative.
	 
	52.	 	Unless a poll be so demanded a declaration by the Chairman that a resolution has on a show of
hands been carried, or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or lost, and an entry to
that effect in the Company’s Minute Book containing the Minutes of the proceedings of the meeting
shall be conclusive evidence of that fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes
recorded in favour of or against such resolution.
	 
	53.	 	The demand for a poll may be withdrawn.
	 
	54.	 	Except as provided in Article 56, if a poll is duly demanded it shall be taken in such manner
as the Chairman directs and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the
general meeting at which the poll was demanded.
	 
	55.	 	In no event, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, shall the Chairman of the general
meeting at which the show of hands takes place or at which the poll is demanded be entitled to a
second or casting vote.
	 
	56.	 	A poll demanded on the election of a Chairman or on a question of adjournment shall be taken
forthwith. A poll demanded on any other question shall be taken at such time as the Chairman of
the general meeting directs and any business other than that upon which a poll has been demanded
or is contingent thereon may be proceeded with pending the taking of the poll.

32

 

VOTES OF MEMBERS

	57.	 	Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of
shares, on a show of hands every Member of record present in person or by telephone or by proxy
or corporate representative at a general meeting shall have one vote and on a poll every Member
of record present in person or by telephone or by proxy or corporate representative shall have
one vote for each share registered in his name in the register of Members.
	 
	58.	 	In the case of joint holders of record the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in
person or by telephone or by proxy or corporate representative, shall be accepted to the
exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders, and for this purpose seniority shall be
determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of Members.
	 
	59.	 	A Member of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court, having
jurisdiction in lunacy, may vote, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, by his committee,
receiver, curator bonis, or other person in the nature of a committee, receiver or curator bonis
appointed by that court, and any such committee, receiver, curator bonis or other persons may
vote by proxy.
	 
	60.	 	No Member shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting unless he is registered as a
Member of the Company on the record date for such meeting nor unless all calls or other sums
presently payable by him in respect of shares in the Company have been paid.
	 
	61.	 	No objection shall be raised to the qualification of any voter except at the general meeting
or adjourned general meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered and every vote
not disallowed at such general meeting shall be valid for all purposes. Any such objection made
in due time shall be referred to the Chairman of the general meeting whose decision shall be
final and conclusive.
	 
	62.	 	On a poll or on a show of hands votes may be given either personally or by proxy.

MEMBER APPROVAL

	63.	(a)	 	Except as required by applicable law, any action by the Members at any general meeting or
extraordinary meeting shall require the approval of Members having an aggregate Shareholding
Percentage of more than fifty percent (50%) present and voting at a validly held meeting, and all
Special Resolutions by the Members shall require the approval of Members having an aggregate
Shareholding Percentage of more than sixty-six and two-thirds percent
(662/3%) present and voting
at a validly held meeting; provided however, that a Special Resolution for the
approval of any Reserved Matter at a duly convened meeting shall also require that any Shares
held and represented at the requisite meeting by TPG be voted in favor of such matter or
abstained, for so long as there is a TPG Director.
	 
	 	(b)	 	In the event that a resolution of the Members at a meeting is required pursuant to
applicable law in respect of any Reserved Matter, no resolution shall be put forth at any
meeting of the Members and no written resolution of the Members shall be passed in respect
thereof unless such matter has been approved by the Board in accordance with Article 98(c).

PROXIES

	64.	 	The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing and shall be executed under the hand of
the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing, or, if the appointor is a
corporation under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorised in that behalf. A proxy need
not be a Member of the Company.
	 
	65.	 	The instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited at the registered office of the Company
or at such other place as is specified for that purpose in the notice convening the meeting:

33

 

	 	(a)	 	not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the meeting or adjourned
meeting at which the person named in the instrument proposes to vote; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	in the case of a poll taken more than 48 hours after it is demanded, be
deposited as aforesaid after the poll has been demanded and not less than 24 hours before
the time appointed for the taking of the poll; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	where the poll is not taken forthwith but is taken not more than 48 hours
after it was demanded be delivered at the meeting at which the poll was demanded to the
chairman or to the Secretary or to any Director,

	 	 	provided that the Directors may in the notice convening the meeting, or in an
instrument of proxy sent out by the Company, direct that the instrument appointing a proxy
may be deposited (no later than the time for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting) at
the registered office of the Company or at such other place as is specified for that
purpose in the notice convening the meeting or in any instrument of proxy sent out by the
Company. The Chairman may in any event at his discretion direct that an instrument of
proxy shall be deemed to have been duly deposited. An instrument of proxy that is not
deposited in the manner permitted shall be invalid.
	 
	66.	 	The instrument appointing a proxy may be in any usual or common form and may be expressed to
be for a particular meeting or any adjournment thereof or generally until revoked. An instrument
appointing a proxy shall be deemed to include the power to demand or join or concur in demanding
a poll.
	 
	67.	 	A vote given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid
notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal or revocation of the proxy or of
the authority under which the proxy was executed, or the transfer of the share in respect of
which the proxy is given provided that no intimation in writing of such death, insanity,
revocation or transfer as aforesaid shall have been received by the Company at the registered
office before the commencement of the general meeting, or adjourned meeting at which it is sought
to use the proxy.
	 
	68.	 	Any corporation which is a Member of record of the Company may in accordance with its
constitutional documents or in the absence of such provision by resolution of its Directors or
other governing body authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any
meeting of the Company or of any class of Members of the Company, and the person so authorised
shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he represents as
the corporation could exercise if it were an individual Member of record of the Company.
	 
	69.	 	Shares of its own capital belonging to the Company or held by it in a fiduciary capacity
shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in
determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.

DIRECTORS

	70.	 	The Board shall consist of five (5) persons initially (exclusive of alternate Directors),
unless otherwise agreed by all of the Members. So long as the Company is not listed on any stock
exchange, the Board shall be comprised of members nominated by the Members whereby the number of
Directors nominated by each Member shall be as nearly as practicable in proportion to such
Member’s Shareholding Percentage (for which purposes a Member may aggregate the Shareholding
Percentage of some or all of its Affiliates provided those Affiliates do not also exercise their
nomination rights) provided that any Director nominated by a Member shall have acceptable
qualifications to serve on the Board, and provided further that:

	 	(a)	 	so long as TPG and its Affiliates shall have an aggregate Shareholding Percentage
of at

34

 

	 	 	 	least five percent (5%), at least one (1) Director will be nominated by TPG (the
“TPG Director”); and
	 
	 	(b)	 	four (4) Directors will be nominated by FEEL (the “Ordinary Directors”),
so long as FEEL or its Affiliates shall remain a Member;

	 	 	provided, however, that FEEL shall always be entitled to nominate a
majority of the Directors so long as FEEL and its Affiliates holds a majority of the
Shareholding Percentage of the Company.
	 
	71.	 	The remuneration (if any) to be paid to the Directors shall be such remuneration as the Board
shall determine. Such remuneration shall be deemed to accrue from day to day. The Directors shall
also be entitled to be paid their traveling, hotel and other expenses properly incurred by them
in going to, attending and returning from meetings of the Directors, or any committee of the
Directors, or general meetings of the Company, or otherwise in connection with the business of
the Company, or to receive a fixed allowance in respect thereof as may be determined by the
Directors from time to time, or a combination partly of one such method and partly the other.
	 
	72.	 	The Board may by resolution award special remuneration to any Director of the Company
undertaking any special work or services for, or undertaking any special mission on behalf of,
the Company other than his ordinary routine work as a Director. Any fees paid to a Director who
is also counsel or solicitor to the Company, or otherwise serves it in a professional capacity
shall be in addition to his remuneration as a Director.
	 
	73.	 	A Director or alternate Director may hold any other office or place of profit under the
Company (other than the office of Auditor) in conjunction with his office of Director for such
period and on such terms as the Directors may determine; provided, however that
the remuneration shall be as the Board may determine.
	 
	74.	 	A Director or alternate Director may act by himself or his firm in a professional capacity
for the Company and he or his firm shall be entitled to remuneration for professional services as

Company, but for no other purpose.

second or casting vote.

person acting as an alternate Director) shall, notwithstanding that it be afterwards discovered

qualified to be a Director or alternate Director as the case may be.
	 
	96.	 	The Directors may hold a meeting of the Directors by means of a telephone conference and
members of the Board or of any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board or of
such committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of
which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other and participation in a meeting

a meeting.
Such written resolution may be signed in counterparts.

	97.	(a)	 	A Director but not an alternate Director may be represented at any meetings of the Board

Director agrees, no such Reserved Matter may be proposed at any such meeting unless the notice
for such meeting provided pursuant to Articles 87 or 88 contains reasonably sufficient details
regarding such Reserved Matter; provided further, that the TPG Director shall not unreasonably
vote against any matter falling under Article 98(c)(x) if the purpose for incurring the
additional Indebtedness is for the development of additional oilfields and other related
businesses of the Company or any Material Subsidiary. In the event that the Board cannot reach
a resolution of any Reserved Matter within thirty (30) days of the calling of the initial
meeting for such matter, the Company and the Members shall reasonably cooperate and use

dividends (including interim dividends) and distributions on shares of the Company outstanding
and authorise payment of the same out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefore.
	 
	108.	 	The Directors may, before declaring any dividends or distributions, set aside such sums as
they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall at the discretion of the Directors, be
applicable for any purpose of the Company and pending such application may, at the like

they shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the shares

regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and in
particular may issue fractional certificates and fix the value for distribution of such specific
assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon

such specific assets in trustees as may seem expedient to the Directors.

Members or to such person and to such address as such holder or joint holders may in writing
direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it
is sent. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any dividends,
bonuses, or other monies payable in respect of the share held by them as joint holders.
	 
	114.	 	No dividend or distribution shall bear interest against the Company.

CAPITALISATION

	115.	 	The Company may upon the recommendation of the Directors by ordinary resolution authorise
the Directors to capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve
accounts (including share premium account and capital redemption reserve fund) or any sum
standing to the credit of profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution and to
appropriate such sum to Members in the proportions in which such sum would have been divisible
amongst them had the same been a distribution of profits by way of dividend and to apply such sum
on their behalf in paying up in full unissued shares for allotment and distribution credited as
fully paid up to and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid. In such event the Directors shall
do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power to the
Directors to make such provisions as they think fit for the case of shares becoming distributable
in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the
Company rather than to the Members concerned). The Directors may authorise any person to enter on
behalf of all of the Members interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such
capitalisation and matters incidental thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall
be effective and binding on all concerned.

BOOKS OF ACCOUNT

are necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs and to explain
its transactions.
	 
	117.	 	The Directors may from time to time cause to be prepared and to be laid before the Company
in general meeting profit and loss accounts, balance sheets, group accounts (if any) and such
other reports and accounts as may be required by law.

who shall hold office until the next Annual General Meeting and may fix his or their
remuneration.
	 
	119.	 	The Directors may before the first Annual General Meeting appoint an Auditor or Auditors of
the Company who shall hold office until the first Annual General Meeting unless previously
removed by an ordinary resolution of the Members in general meeting in which case the Members at
that meeting may appoint Auditors. The Directors may fill any casual vacancy in the office of
Auditor but while any such vacancy continues the surviving or continuing Auditor or Auditors, if
any, may act. The remuneration of any Auditor appointed by the Directors under this Article may
be fixed by the Directors.
	 
	120.	 	Every Auditor of the Company shall have a right of access at all times to the books and

Officers of the Company such information and explanation as may be necessary for the performance
of the duties of the auditors.
	 
	121.	 	Auditors shall at the next Annual General Meeting following their appointment and at any other
time

advised are entitled to a share or shares in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member
by sending it through the post as aforesaid in a pre-paid letter addressed to them by name, or by
the title of representatives of the deceased, or trustee of the bankrupt, or by any like
description at the address supplied for that purpose by the persons claiming to be so entitled,
or at the option of the Company by giving the notice in any manner in which the same might have

the joint holder first named in the register of Members.
	 
	 	(b)	 	every person upon whom the ownership of a share devolves by reason of his being a legal
personal representative or a trustee in bankruptcy of a Member of record where the Member of

fair upon any property to be divided as aforesaid and may determine how such division shall be
carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may with the
like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the

liability.
	 
	128.	 	If the Company shall be wound up, and the assets available for distribution amongst the

proportion to the capital paid up,

44

 

	 	 	or which ought to have been paid up, at the commencement of the winding up on the shares
held by them respectively. And if in a winding up the assets available for distribution
amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the capital paid up
at the commencement of the winding up, the excess shall be distributed amongst the Members
in proportion to the capital paid up at the commencement of the winding up on the shares
held by them respectively. This Article is to be without prejudice to the rights of the
holders of shares issued upon special terms and conditions.

INDEMNITY

	129.	 	The Directors and officers for the time being of the Company and any trustee for the time
being acting in relation to any of the affairs of the Company and their heirs, executors,
administrators and personal representatives respectively shall be indemnified out of the assets
of the Company from and against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, losses, damages and
expenses which they or any of them shall or may incur or sustain by reason of any act done or

the sake of conformity or for the solvency or honesty of any banker or other persons with whom
any monies or effects belonging to the Company may be lodged or deposited for safe custody or for
any insufficiency of any security upon which any monies of the Company may be invested or for any
other loss or damage due to any such cause as aforesaid or which may happen in or about the
execution of his office or trust unless the same shall happen through the wilful neglect or
default of such Director, Officer or trustee.

	2.	 	RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY
	 
	2.1	 	Transfer Restrictions.

	 	(a)	 	Prior to the date falling one (1) year after the date on which a Shareholder becomes a
Shareholder of the Company (“Shareholding Effective Date”), no Shareholder or any Affiliate
of such Shareholder shall Transfer any of its Shares;
provided, however, that:

	 	(i)	 	TPG and its Affiliates may Transfer Shares to one (1) or more limited partners
of TPG Star, L.P. or its Affiliates for a minimum of US$10,000,000 per Person, so
long as, after giving effect to all such Transfers, TPG and its Affiliates hold
Shares having a Shareholding Percentage of at least six percent (6%);
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Harmony may Transfer Shares to one (1) or more of its Affiliates for a minimum
of US$10,000,000 per Person; and
	 
	 	(iii)	 	any Transfer effected by any Shareholder in accordance with Clauses 2.2, 2.3
or 2.7 of this Agreement, Clause 7 of the TPG SPA and Clause 4 of the Sino Link SPA
shall be permitted.

	 	(b)	 	On and after the date falling one (1) year after the Shareholding Effective Date, no
Shareholder or any Affiliate of such Shareholder shall Transfer any of its Shares;
provided,however, that:

	 	(i)	 	subject to Clause 14.3, any Transfer effected by any Shareholder in accordance
with Clauses 2.2, 2.3 or 2.7 of this Agreement, Clause 7 of the TPG SPA or Clause 4
of the Sino Link SPA shall be permitted.

	 	(c)	 	At any time but subject to Clause 14.3, FEEL may Transfer Shares having an aggregate
Shareholding Percentage of up to five percent (5%) to persons who are bona fide directors,
officers or employees of the Company or MIE as of the date hereof, but any such Transfer of
Shares to any one director, officer or employee shall not result in any one such transferee
holding an aggregate Shareholding Percentage exceeding two percent (2%).

	2.2	 	Right of First Refusal.

	 	(a)	 	Except for a Transfer in accordance with Clause 2.1(a), 2.1(b), 2.1(c), 2.3 or 2.7 of
this Agreement, Clause 7 of the TPG SPA or Clause 4 of the Sino Link SPA, if at any time,
any Shareholder (an “Offering Shareholder”) desires to Transfer (upon the terms and
conditions under this Agreement) all or part of its Shares (the “Offered Shares”) to a
Prospective Transferee, the other Shareholders (the “Non-Offering Shareholders”) shall have
the right of first refusal to purchase the Offered Shares upon the terms and subject to the
conditions hereinafter provided. Prior to any Proposed Transfer of Offered Shares, the
Offering Shareholder shall deliver to each Non-Offering Shareholder (with a copy to the
Company) a written irrevocable bona fide offer to sell the Offered Shares to the
Non-Offering Shareholders stating the number of Shares to be sold, the price and
terms thereof (which shall not

 

Page 11

	 	 	 	include any warranties or indemnities (other than capacity and authority) from the
transferee) and the identity of the Prospective Transferee (a “Transfer Notice”).
	 
	 	(b)	 	Each Non-Offering Shareholder shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of a
Transfer Notice within which to elect to purchase its pro rata share (based on the proportion
its Shareholding Percentage bears to the aggregate Shareholding Percentage of all Non-Offering
Shareholders) of any or all such Offered Shares on the terms offered to the Prospective
Transferee in the Transfer Notice, which election shall be made by an irrevocable written
notice delivered by each electing Non-Offering Shareholder to the Offering Shareholder (with a
copy to the Company and each of the other Non-Offering Shareholders). The last day of such
30-day period is hereinafter referred to as the “Cut-Off Date”. Any new terms, conditions or
price offered by the Offering Shareholder to any Non-Offering Shareholder during such 30-day
period shall be offered to each Non-Offering Shareholder and shall be set forth in a new
Transfer Notice to each such Non-Offering Shareholder, which new Transfer Notice shall trigger
a new 30-day period as provided above. Any election to purchase the Offered Shares must be in
accordance with the terms of the Transfer Notice then in effect, and otherwise must be
unconditional (except that such purchase may be subject to the prior receipt of statutory or
regulatory approvals necessary to complete such purchase). Non-Offering Shareholders who elect
to purchase the Offered Shares pursuant to this Clause 2.2(b) are hereinafter referred to
individually as an “Electing Offeree” and collectively as the “Electing Offerees”.
	 
	 	(c)	 	If some, but not all, of the Non-Offering Shareholders do not elect to purchase their pro
rata share of the Offered Shares by the Cut-Off Date, each of the Electing Offerees shall have
the right, exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days after the Cut-Off Date (the last day
of which shall be the “Extended Cut-Off Date”), to purchase all or any portion of the Offered
Shares not purchased by the Electing Offerees pursuant to Clause 2.2(b) pro rata (based on the
proportion its Shareholding Percentage bears to the aggregate Shareholding Percentage of the
other Electing Offerees).
	 
	 	(d)	 	The consideration for such Offered Shares shall be paid in full in cash, or in such other
form as may be agreed between the Offering Shareholder and the Electing Offerees.
	 
	 	(e)	 	The completion of each such purchase shall take place on the thirtieth (30th) day after the
Cut-Off Date or Extended Cut Off Date (as the case may be), or if such day is not a Business
Day, then on the next such Business Day (the “Scheduled Completion Date”). The Scheduled
Completion Date may be amended upon the mutual agreement of the Offering Shareholder and the
Electing Offerees, and in any case shall be extended to the extent necessary in order to comply
with applicable laws and regulations (including obtaining any necessary governmental approvals
for the Transfer of such Offered Shares).
On or before the relevant Scheduled Completion Date, the Offering
Shareholder shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing the Offered
Shares to be purchased on such Scheduled Completion Date (or, if

 

Page 12

	 	 	 	such Offering Shareholder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or
destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the
Company to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against the Company
on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the
Electing Offerees, against payment in full of the consideration for such Offered Shares
in accordance with the provisions in this Clause 2.2.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Upon any election of the right to purchase such Offered Shares by an Electing Offeree, the
Offering Shareholder and such Electing Offeree shall use their reasonable best efforts to
secure any approvals required in connection therewith.
	 
	 	(g)	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Non-Offering Shareholders have not exercised their
right to purchase all the Offered Shares by the end of the Cut-Off Date or the collective
Electing Offerees have not offered to purchase all of the Offered Shares by the end of the
Extended Cut-Off Date, then the Non-Offering Shareholders shall be deemed to have forfeited any
right to purchase such Offered Shares, and the Offering Shareholder shall be free to sell all,
but not less than all, of the Offered Shares to the Prospective Transferee substantially on the
terms and conditions set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice not later than the sixtieth
(60th) day after the Cut-Off Date or the Extended Cut-Off Date, as the case may be.
	 
	 	(h)	 	If the Electing Offeree(s) fail(s) to complete the purchase of all of the Offered Shares on
the Scheduled Completion Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable
Transfer Notice and such failure is not remedied within seven (7) days of the Scheduled
Completion Date, then the Offering Shareholder may sell all (but not less than all) of the
Offered Shares to the Prospective Transferee not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the
Scheduled Completion Date. If the necessary governmental approvals to an Electing Offeree’s
purchase of any Offered Shares are not obtained within a reasonable period of time after the
end of the 60-day period following the Cut-Off Date or the Extended Cut-Off Date, as the case
may be, such Offered Shares must be re-offered to the Non-Offering Shareholders (other than the
Electing Offeree) as Offered Shares under this Clause 2.2.
	 
	 	(i)	 	Any sale to a Prospective Transferee pursuant to either Clause 2.2(g) or Clause 2.2(h)
shall be on terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the price per Share) no more
favourable to such Prospective Transferee than those set forth in the applicable Transfer
Notice received by the Non-Offering Shareholders, and the Offering Shareholder must sell all of
the Offered Shares and not some only. Concurrently with any such sale to a Prospective
Transferee who is not then a party to this Agreement and, as a condition precedent for such
Transfer, such Prospective Transferee shall comply with the provisions of Clause 2.6.
	 
	 	(j)	 	If all of the Offered Shares are not sold to any Person within the 60-day period specified
in Clause 2.2(g) or Clause 2.2(h), then the rights of the other Shareholders
under this Clause 2.2 shall be fully restored and reinstated as if

 

Page 13

	 	 	 	such offer had never been made and the Offering Shareholder must again follow the
procedures set forth in this Clause 2.2 prior to the sale of any of its Shares to
any Person, except for Transfers otherwise permitted by this Agreement.

	2.3	 	Tag-Along Rights.

	 	(a)	 	Except for a Transfer pursuant to Clause 2.1(a), 2.1(b), 2.1(c), or 2.7 of this
Agreement, Clause 7 of the TPG SPA, or Clause 4 of the Sino Link SPA, and subject always to
Clause 2.2, if at any time FEEL (”Tag-Along Seller”) proposes to Transfer Shares to a
Prospective Transferee that, when aggregated with all other Shares Transferred by such
Tag-Along Seller and its Affiliates, would result in such Tag-Along Seller owning less than
fifty percent (50%) of the then total issued and outstanding Shares, such Tag Along Seller
shall promptly give written notice to the Company (“Tag-Along Notice”) and each of the
other Shareholders at least forty-five (45) days prior to the completion of such Transfer
and shall cause the Prospective Transferee to make an offer for all of the Shares of such
other Shareholders on the same terms and conditions of the Proposed Transfer (provided that
the Investors shall only provide customary representations of title and capacity excluding
any representations or warranties with respect to the business, assets or liabilities or
financial condition of the Company) (the “Tag-Along Offer”), except that the price per
Share pursuant to the Tag-Along Offer shall be the Tag-Along Offer Purchase Price. The
Tag-Along Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the Proposed Transfer including,
without limitation, the class and number of Shares to be sold, the price and terms thereof
and the identity of the Prospective Transferee and attach a copy of the Tag-Along Offer.
Any subsequent Transfers of Shares by persons other than the Investors shall be subject to
the same tag-along right under this Clause 2.3.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Each non-Transferring Shareholder shall have a period of twenty (20) days after receipt
of a Tag-Along Notice within which to accept the Tag-Along Offer, which acceptance shall be
made by an irrevocable written notice delivered by each electing non-Transferring
Shareholder (each, a “Participant”) to the Tag-Along Seller and the Prospective Transferee
(with a copy to the Company and each of the other non-Transferring Shareholders). No holders of Series A Preferred Shares or Series B Preferred Shares shall be
entitled to sell Series A Preferred Shares or Series B Preferred Shares pursuant to
this Clause 2.3, but shall be permitted to convert or exercise its applicable
portion of Series A Preferred Shares or Series B Preferred Shares for Ordinary
Shares concurrently with, and subject to, the consummation of the Proposed
Transfer, in which case each of the other Shareholders shall take all such steps
necessary to be taken by each of them respectively in order to give effect to such
conversion or exercise.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Each Participant shall effect its participation in the Transfer by delivering to the
Tag-Along Seller (to hold in trust as agent for such Participant), at least three
(3) Business Days prior to the date scheduled for such Transfer as set forth in the
Tag-Along Notice, one (1) or more share transfer certificate(s) duly executed by the
Participant, together with any share certificates, representing

 

Page 14

	 	 	 	the Shares which such Participant is entitled to Transfer in accordance with Clause
2.3(b). Such certificate or certificates or other instruments, as applicable, shall
be delivered by the Tag-Along Seller to the Proposed Transferee on the date
scheduled for such Transfer in consummation of the Transfer pursuant to the terms
and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice and such Proposed Transferee shall
remit to each such Participant the portion of the sale proceeds to which such
Participant is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. The completion
of the Transfer by the Tag-Along Seller and the Transfer by each Participant shall
occur simultaneously. The Tag-Along Seller and the Participants shall be
responsible for their respective pro rata portions of the aggregate transaction
costs and expenses incurred by the Tag-Along Seller and the Participants in
connection with such Transfers and the Tag-Along Seller and the Participants shall
reimburse the other to the extent required to give effect to such expense
allocation. For purposes of this Clause 2.3(c), “pro rata portion” shall mean for
each Participant a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares to be
Transferred by such Participant pursuant to this Clause 2.3 and the denominator of
which is the total number of Shares to be Transferred pursuant to this Clause 2.3.

	 	(d)	 	The non-exercise of the rights of any of the non-Transferring Shareholders to
participate in one (1) or more Transfers of Shares under this Clause 2.3 shall not
adversely affect its right to participate in subsequent Transfers of Shares subject to this
Clause 2.3.
	 
	 	(e)	 	The Tag-Along Seller shall not be permitted to Transfer Shares in circumstances where
Clause 2.3 is applicable unless the sale of Shares by Participants exercising their rights
under this Clause 2.3 is effected simultaneously, and any attempted Transfer by the
Tag-Along Seller in violation hereof shall be null and void.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Notwithstanding anything contained in this Clause 2.3 to the contrary, there shall be no liability on the part of
the Tag-Along Seller to any other Shareholder in the event no Shares are sold (by any of
the Tag-Along Seller or any Participant) to the Proposed Transferee even if the provisions
of this Clause 2.3 have been triggered.

	2.4	 	Restrictive Legend.
	 
	 	 	Each certificate representing the Shares or any other securities issued in respect of
the Shares upon any stock splits, stock dividend, recapitalisation, merger or similar
event, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following
form (in addition to any legends required by agreement or by applicable securities laws):
	 
	 	 	THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS SHARE CERTIFICATE ARE
SUBJECT TO AND MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT DATED AS OF MARCH 10, 2010, AMONG THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE,
CERTAIN OTHER SHAREHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY, MI ENERGY CORPORATION, AND THE COMPANY.
	 
	2.5	 	Authorisation; Effect of Failure to Comply.

 

Page 15

	 	(a)	 	The Shareholders shall cause the Company to take any and all steps for and
on behalf of a transferring Shareholder to give effect to the Transfer of Shares pursuant
to this Clause 2.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Any Proposed Transfer not made in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement
shall be null and void ab initio, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company or its
transfer agent and shall not be recognized by the Company. Each Party acknowledges and
agrees that any breach of this Agreement would result in substantial harm to the other
Parties for which monetary damages alone could not adequately compensate. Therefore, the
Parties unconditionally and irrevocably agree that any non-breaching Party shall be
entitled to seek protective orders, injunctive relief and other remedies available at law
or in equity (including, without limitation, seeking specific performance or the rescission
of purchases, sales and other Transfers of Shares not made in strict compliance with this
Agreement).
	 
	 	(c)	 	If any Shareholder becomes obligated to sell any Offered Shares to any Exercising
Offeree under this Agreement and fails to deliver a share transfer certificate duly
executed by the Shareholder, together with any share certificates, representing such
purchased Offered Shares and Transfer the Offered Shares in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, such Exercising Offeree may, at its option, in addition to all other
remedies it may have, send to such Shareholder the purchase price for such Offered Shares
as is herein specified and request the Company to redeem and cancel on its books the
relevant Shares to be sold and issue the relevant Shares to such Exercising Offeree.

	2.6	 	Adherence on Transfer or Issue.

	 	(a)	 	Any Transfer of Shares (other than a Transfer of Shares pursuant to Clause 2.1(c))
shall require the prior adherence by the transferee to the terms of this Agreement. The
transferee to whom a Shareholder is to Transfer Shares shall execute and deliver to each
other Shareholder and the Company an agreement of adherence to this Agreement, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, indicating such transferee’s agreement to
be bound by the terms hereof in the same manner as the transferring Shareholder and shall
thereby become bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement as a Party and a
Shareholder hereunder and be entitled to the same rights to the same extent and in the same
manner as the transferring Shareholder.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Any issue of Shares by the Company to a Person who is not already a Party and a
Shareholder shall require the prior adherence by such Person to the terms of this
Agreement. Such Person shall execute and deliver to each Shareholder and the Company an
agreement of adherence to this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Company, and shall thereby become bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement
as a Party and a Shareholder hereunder and be entitled to the same rights to the same
extent and in the same manner as a Shareholder.

	2.7	 	Exempt Transfers.

 

Page 16

	 	(a)	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the foregoing provisions of this
Clause 2 shall not apply to a Transfer by a Shareholder of all or part of its Shares to an
Affiliate provided, however, that any such Transfer shall be in accordance
with each of the following terms:

	 	(1)	 	such Shareholder shall provide written notice of such Transfer to each other
Shareholder;
	 
	 	(2)	 	the transferee to whom the Shareholder is to Transfer the Shares is a
Non-Competing Person and shall execute and deliver to each other Shareholder and
the Company an adherence agreement to this Agreement, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, indicating such transferee’s agreement to
be bound by the terms hereof and shall thereby become bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement as a Party and a Shareholder hereunder in the same
manner as the transferring Shareholder and be entitled to the same rights to the
same extent and in the same manner as the transferring Shareholder;
	 
	 	(3)	 	such Shareholder shall remain bound by its obligations under this Agreement;
and
	 
	 	(4)	 	if any such transferee Affiliate shall cease to be an Affiliate of such
Shareholder, any Shares held by such transferee shall be promptly retransferred to
such Shareholder or transferred to another of such Shareholder’s Affiliates.

	 	(b)	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of this Clause 2
shall not apply to (i) the sale of Shares pursuant to a Qualified IPO or any Transfer after
a Qualified IPO; and (ii) the creation of Encumbrances over the Shares pursuant to the
CITIC KaWah Facility.

	3.	 	PREEMPTION RIGHTS
	 
	3.1	 	Preemption Rights. The Company hereby grants to each Shareholder the right to purchase
a pro rata portion (based on its Shareholding Percentage) of New Securities that the Company may,
from time to time propose to sell and issue.
	 
	3.2	 	Preemption Rights Procedure. The preemption rights granted under this Clause 3 shall
be subject to the following provisions:

	 	(a)	 	In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it
shall give each Shareholder written notice of its intention, describing the type of New
Securities, the price, and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the
same. Each Shareholder shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice (the
“Preemption Cut-Off Date”) to agree to purchase up to its pro rata portion (based
on its Shareholding Percentage) of such New Securities at the price and upon the terms
specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein
the quantity of New Securities to be purchased. If a Shareholder fails to exercise

 

Page 17

	 	 	 	the right to purchase its full pro rata portion (based on its Shareholding
Percentage) of the New Securities, each of the other participating Shareholders may
exercise an additional right to purchase, on a pro rata basis (based on the
proportion its Shareholding Percentage bears to the aggregate Shareholding
Percentage of the participating Shareholders), the New Securities not previously
purchased.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If some (but not all) of the Shareholders do not elect to purchase their pro rata
portion of such New Securities by the Preemption Cut-Off Date, each of the participating
Shareholders shall have the right, exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days after the
Preemption Cut-Off Date (the last day of which shall be the “Extended Preemption
Cut-Off Date”), to purchase all or any portion of the New Securities not purchased by
the participating Shareholders pursuant to Clause 3.2(a) pro rata (based on the proportion
its Shareholding Percentage bears to the aggregate Shareholding Percentage of the other
participating Shareholders).
	 
	 	(c)	 	If none of the Shareholders have exercised their right to purchase the New Securities
by the end of the Preemption Cut-Off Date or the collective participating Shareholders have
not offered to purchase all of the New Securities by the end of the Extended Preemption
Cut-Off Date (such unpurchased New Securities, the “Remaining New Securities”),
then the Company may sell all (but not less than all) of the Remaining New Securities to a
third Person.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Regardless of whether the Shareholders exercise their preemption rights granted under
this Clause 3 by the Preemption Cut-Off Date or the Extended Preemption Cut-Off Date (as
the case may be), the Company shall have sixty (60) days after the Extended Preemption
Cut-Off Date to sell (or enter into an agreement pursuant to which the sale of New
Securities covered thereby shall be closed, if at all, within sixty (60) days from the date
of said agreement) the New Securities at a price and upon terms no more favourable to the
purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s notice to the Shareholders,
provided that such purchaser(s) shall execute and deliver to each other Shareholder
and the Company an instrument of ratification and accession to this Agreement, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Shareholders, indicating such purchaser’s agreement to be
bound by the terms hereof and shall thereby become bound by the terms and conditions of
this Agreement. In the event the Company has not sold the New Securities within such
60-day period (or sold and issued New Securities in accordance with the foregoing within
sixty (60) days from the date of such agreement) the Company shall not thereunder issue or
sell any New Securities without first offering such New Securities to the Shareholders in
the manner provided above. The completion of the sale of New Securities to the
participating Shareholders and other purchasers shall occur simultaneously.
	 
	 	(e)	 	The preemption rights granted under this Clause 3 shall expire immediately upon the
occurrence of a Qualified IPO or a Trade Sale.

	 	 	an Offshore Bank Account is commercially reasonable for the operation of MIE’s business.
Subject to the required approvals being obtained, which approvals the Company and MIE shall
use their commercially reasonable endeavours to obtain as soon as reasonably practicable in

Percentages of some or all of its Affiliates provided those Affiliates do not also exercise their
nomination rights) provided that any Director nominated by a Shareholder shall have
acceptable qualifications to serve on the Board, and provided further that:

 

Page 20

	 	(a)	 	so long as TPG and its Affiliates shall have an aggregate Shareholding
Percentage of at least five percent (5%), at least one (1) Director will be nominated
by TPG (the “TPG Director” ) ; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	Four (4) Directors will be nominated by FEEL (the “FEEL Directors”),
so long as FEEL or its Affiliates shall remain a Shareholder; 

	 	 	provided,
however, that FEEL shall always be entitled to nominate a majority of the
Directors so long as FEEL and its Affiliates holds a majority of the Shareholding
Percentage of the Company.
	 
	6.3	 	Appointment of Directors. In the event of the appointment of a Director nominated in
accordance with Clause 6.2, the Shareholders shall vote their Shares to cause the appointment to
the Board of the Director so designated for appointment by the appropriate Shareholder.
	 
	6.4	 	Removal of Directors. A Director may be removed and replaced at any time by the
Shareholder that has nominated such Director in accordance with the provisions of the Companies
Law. If a Director becomes disqualified under applicable law, his position of Director shall be
vacated and the Shareholder that nominated such Director shall nominate a new Director in
accordance with Clause 6.2 and the Shareholders shall vote their Shares to cause the election to
the Board of any such new Director.
	 
	6.5	 	Method of Nomination and Removal. Nominations and removals of Directors shall be by
written memorandum signed by the relevant Shareholder(s) and shall be effective from the time

	6.6	 	Alternate Directors. A Director may at any time appoint another Person (including
another Director) to be his alternate and attend and vote at any meeting of the Board at which the

subsequent writing or until the Director ceases to be a director whichever is earlier.
	 
	6.7	 	Obligations Toward Directors. The Company shall:

	 	(a)	 	enter into a customary indemnification agreement with each of its Directors and
officers;
	 
	 	(b)	 	obtain directors and officers liability insurance in an amount and on terms
approved by the Board and by TPG; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	reimburse the Directors for all reasonable

with attending meetings of the Board.

Page 21

	6.9	 	Frequency of meetings; Notice. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
Board shall hold a regular meeting at least once each calendar quarter at a location the Board
shall determine. The date, time and location of any such regular meeting shall be established by
the Board and notified to each Director in writing at least fourteen (14) days in advance. Special
meetings of the Board shall be held upon the request of the Chairman or any Director upon at least
five (5) Business Days’ written notice (containing the agenda, date, time and place of the meeting)
to the Directors and shall be held at such time and place designated in such notice,
provided, however, that if any Reserved Matter is to be voted on in any meeting of
the Board, the notice for such meeting shall specify such Reserved Matter separately from other
matters.
	 
	6.10	 	Quorum. The quorum for any meeting of the Board shall be a majority of the Directors,
consisting of at least two (2) FEEL Directors and, if any, the TPG Director, each Director present
personally or by his alternate. If within half an hour of the time appointed for the meeting no
quorum is present, the meeting shall be adjourned to the same day one (1) week later at the same
time and place or to such other day or time as the Chairman may designate upon at least five (5)
days’ written notice to all of the Directors (the “Adjourned Meeting”). If at the Adjourned
Meeting no quorum is present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, any two
(2) Directors present at such meeting shall constitute a quorum; provided, however,
that no action or decision shall be taken on any matter not specified in the agenda of the meeting
when it was first called.
	 
	6.11	 	Conference Meetings. Meetings of the Directors held by means of a telephone
conference which enables all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other at the same
time and to communicate with each other shall be valid as if they were attended by all Directors in
person. Such participation by any Director shall constitute presence in person at the meeting by
such Director. All meetings of the Directors shall enable Directors to participate by means of
telephone conference.
	 
	6.12	 	Board Approvals.

	 	(a)	 	Except as otherwise provided in, or delegated in accordance with, this Agreement or the
Restated Articles or required by applicable law, all matters requiring the approval of the
Board shall be subject to the approval of a majority of the Directors present and voting at
a duly convened meeting.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Any Reserved Matter shall, in addition to the approval of the
shareholders of the Company as set forth in Clause 7.4, be subject to the approval of a
majority of the Directors present and voting at a duly convened meeting at which the TPG
Director shall not have voted against such matter, provided, however, that,
unless the TPG Director agrees, no such Reserved Matter may be proposed at any such meeting
unless the notice for such meeting provided pursuant to Clause 6.9 contains reasonably
sufficient details regarding such Reserved Matter; provided further, that
the TPG Director shall not unreasonably vote against any matter falling under clause (x) of
Schedule 1 if the purpose for incurring the additional Indebtedness is for the development
of additional oilfields and other related businesses of the Company or any Material
Subsidiary. In the event that the Board cannot reach a resolution of any Reserved Matter
within thirty (30) days of the calling of the initial meeting for such matter, the
Company and the Shareholders shall reasonably

 

Page 22

	 	 	 	cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to work towards a mutually agreeable
resolution.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all matters relating to the
Qualified IPO will be subject to Board approval pursuant to Clause 6.12(a) and not be
considered a Reserved Matter subject to consent pursuant to Clause 6.12(b), except for the
matter as set forth in clause (xx) of Schedule 1 which shall be considered a Reserved
Matter subject to consent pursuant to Clause 6.12(b).
	 
	 	(d)	 	Each Director shall have one (1) vote and no Director shall have a casting vote. 
	 
	 	(e)	 	The Company shall cause its Subsidiaries not to act with respect to Reserved Matters except
in accordance with Clause 6.12(b).

	6.13	 	Written Resolution. The Board may take action by written resolution signed and
approved by all of the Directors in lieu of holding a meeting. Such written resolution may be
signed in counterparts.
	 
	6.14	 	Board Information. The Board shall distribute (a) the minutes of any meetings of the
Joint Management Committee under each of the Production Sharing Contracts to each of the Directors
and (b) the technical reports received by the Company from time to time, including but not limited
to, reserves updates.
	 
	6.15	 	Business Opportunity. TPG shall have the right to, and shall have no duty not to,
engage in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company or MIE,
including those deemed to be competing with the Company or MIE, and in the event that TPG (or any
of its Affiliates or appointed Directors) acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter
that may be a corporate opportunity for the Company, TPG (and its Affiliates and appointed
Directors) shall have no duty (contractual or otherwise) to communicate or present such corporate
opportunity to the Company and shall not be liable for breach of any duty (contractual or
otherwise) by reason of the fact that TPG (or any of its Affiliates) directly or indirectly pursues
or acquires such opportunity for itself, directs such opportunity to another Person, or does not
present such opportunity to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that TPG
acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that is likely to be a corporate
opportunity for the Company solely as a result of an employee or agent of TPG (or any of its
Affiliates) attending board meetings of the Company in his or her capacity as a director of the
Company, then TPG will not pursue such opportunity for itself, or direct such opportunity to
another Person, unless the Company has declined to pursue such opportunity or fails to actively
pursue such opportunity within fifteen (15) days after it is notified by TPG about its interest in
the opportunity.
	 
	7.	 	MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS
	 
	7.1	 	General Meeting. A General Meeting of the shareholders of the Company (the “Annual

otherwise required pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Law) upon at least fourteen (14)
days written notice (containing the agenda, date, time and place of the meeting) to all
shareholders of the Company and shall be held at such time and place designated in such notice,
with attendance in person or by telephone or by proxy or corporate representative;
provided, however, that, subject to applicable law, such fourteen (14) day notice
requirement may be waived by shareholders of the Company having an aggregate Voting Percentage of
not less than ninety percent (90%) in a particular case. Any notice period referred to above shall
exclude both the day on which the notice is served or deemed to be served and the day for which the
notice is given.
	 
	7.3	 	Quorum. The quorum for any meeting of the shareholders of the Company shall be shareholders of
the Company whose aggregate Voting Percentage is not less than sixty-six and two-thirds percent (662/3%) present personally or by duly appointed proxy, attorney or representative, provided,
however, that for the Shareholders Meeting to be validly convened, TPG shall be present or
represented . If within half an hour of the time appointed for the meeting no quorum is present,
the meeting shall be adjourned to the same day one (1) week later at the same time and place or to
such other day or time as the Chairman may designate upon at least five (5) days’ written notice to
all of the shareholders of the Company. If at the adjourned meeting no quorum is present within
half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, shareholders of the Company whose Voting
Percentage is not less than sixty-six and two-thirds percent (662/3%) present or represented at such
meeting shall constitute a quorum; provided, however, that no action or decision
shall be taken on any matter not specified in the agenda of the meeting when it was first called.
	 
	7.4	 	Shareholder Approval.

	 	(a)	 	Except as required by applicable law, any action by the shareholders of the Company at
any General Meeting or extraordinary meeting shall require the approval of shareholders of
the Company having an aggregate Voting Percentage of more than fifty percent (50%) present
and voting at a validly held meeting, and all special resolutions by the shareholders of
the Company shall require the approval of shareholders of the Company having an aggregate
Voting Percentage of more than sixty-six and two-thirds percent (662/3%) present and voting
at a validly held meeting; provided, however, that a special resolution for
the approval of any Reserved Matter at a duly convened meeting shall also require that any
Shares held and represented at the requisite meeting by TPG be voted in favor of such
matter or abstained, for so long as there is a TPG Director.
	 
	 	(b)	 	In the event that a resolution of the shareholders at a meeting is required pursuant to
applicable law in respect of any Reserved Matter, no resolution shall be put forth at any
meeting of the shareholders and no written resolution of shareholders shall be passed in
respect thereof unless such matter has been approved by the Board in accordance with Clause
6.12(b).

	7.5	 	Written Resolution. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, a resolution
in writing (circulated to all the shareholders of the Company) approved and signed by all

 

Page 24

	 	 	the shareholders of the Company shall be valid and effectual as if it had been a resolution
passed at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company duly convened and held.
	 
	7.6	 	Chairman. The Chairman of the Board for the time being shall also preside as chairman
at any General Meeting. If the Chairman of the Board is absent at any General Meeting, a Director
shall act as the chairman.
	 
	8.	 	DIVIDENDS

Subject always to the provisions in Clauses 6 and 7:

	8.1	 	The Preferred Shares shall accrue dividends as determined by the Board.
	 
	8.2	 	Notwithstanding Clause 8.1 above, the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to participate pro
rata in any dividends paid on the Ordinary Shares on an as-if-converted basis, in which case, the
Preferred Shares shall confer upon the holders thereof the right, in priority to any rights of the
holders of any other class of Shares (including the Ordinary Shares), to receive such dividends;
provided however, during the period commencing on the Shareholding Effective Date and ending on the
earlier of (i) the date of the closing of the Qualified IPO or (ii) the date of the one year
anniversary of the Shareholding Effective Date, if the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares,
voting as a class, elect (at their sole and absolute discretion) not to receive such dividends,
then all holders of the Preferred Shares shall also not be entitled to participate pro rata in any
dividends paid by the Company.
	 
	9.	 	ANNOUNCEMENTS AND CONFIDENTIALITY
	 
	9.1	 	Announcements. No announcement, press release or circular in connection with the
existence or the subject matter of this Agreement shall be made or issued by or on behalf of any

	13.	 	ARBITRATION
	 
	13.1	 	Amicable Settlement. Any and all disputes, controversies and conflicts between the
Parties arising out of or relating to or in connection with this Agreement and the performance or
non-performance of the obligations set forth herein shall, so far as is possible, be settled

controversy or conflict has been given by one Party to the other Parties.
	 
	13.2	 	Arbitration Procedure.

	 	(a)	 	Failing an amicable settlement thereof within the 30-day period specified in Clause

settled by three (3) arbitrators under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules (the “UNCITRAL
Rules”) in accordance with the Hong Kong International Arbitration Center
(“HKIAC”) Procedures for the Administration of International Arbitration in force
at the date of this Agreement. The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong and the
language used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The HKIAC shall act as the
administering institute.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The arbitrators shall be appointed by mutual consent of the Parties involved in the
arbitration in accordance with the procedures set out in the UNCITRAL
Rules regarding the appointment of arbitrators, failing which the appointing
authority shall be HKIAC.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The arbitral proceedings shall accord to each of the Parties the right to provide

any court of competent jurisdiction of its ability to issue any form of provisional remedy,
including but not limited to a preliminary remedy in aid of arbitration, or order any interim

court shall not be deemed a waiver of this agreement to submit to arbitration.
	 
	13.4	 	Continued Performance During Arbitration. During the period of submission to
arbitration and thereafter until the granting of the arbitral award, the Parties shall, except in
the event of termination, continue to perform all their obligations under this Agreement without

Page 29

	14.	 	CERTAIN ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES
	 
	14.1	 	Initial Public Offering. Each of the Parties shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to facilitate a Qualified IPO within twenty-four (24) months of the completion under the
TPG SPA (the “TPG Completion”). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable
endeavours (including providing all information necessary and appropriate) to obtain, if such
Qualified IPO is on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and if feasible, private rulings from the Hong
Kong Stock Exchange that:

	 	(a)	 	MIE’s current Production Sharing Contracts will be sufficient to
demonstrate the right to use the land constituting the oilfields without PetroChina’s land use

Dear Sirs:

We refer to (1) the Amended and Restated Shareholders’ Agreement of MIE Holdings Corporation (the
“Restated Shareholders Agreement”) dated October 30, 2009 by and among TPG Star Energy Ltd. (“TPG
Star”), Sino Link Limited (“Sino Link”), Far East Energy Limited (“FEEL”), MI Energy Corporation
(“MIE”) and MIE Holdings Corporation (the “Company”); (2) the Agreement of Adherence dated December
15, 2009 by and among TPG, Sino Link, FEEL, MIE, the Company and TPG Star Energy Co-invest LLC
(“TPG Co-invest”, and together with TPG Star, “TPG”); and (3) the Third Amended and Restated
Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company adopted on October 30, 2009 (the “Third
Restated Articles”). Terms defined in the Restated Shareholders Agreement shall have the same
meanings in this letter unless defined in this letter or the context otherwise requires. We are
writing to inform you that:

	1.	 	Harmony Energy Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Ever Union Capital Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands
(“Harmony”), FEEL, MIE, the Company and Mr. Zhang Ruilin, Mr. Zhao Jiangwei and Mr. Shang Zhiguo
are finalizing a Series B Preferred Shares Purchase Agreement (the “Harmony SPA”) pursuant to
which:

	 	a.	 	FEEL intends to sell to Harmony 3,642,512 Series B Preferred Shares in the Company (the
“FEEL Sale Shares”) for an aggregate consideration of US$89,970,046.40 (the “Purchase Price”, based
on a sale price per Series B Preferred Share of US$24.70). Such Purchase Price will be paid in
cash.
	 
	 	b.	 	As FEEL is not currently a holder of Series B Preferred Shares of the
Company, FEEL intends to request that the Company repurchase 1,821,256 Ordinary
Shares of the Company that FEEL currently holds in exchange for 3,642,512 Series B
Preferred Shares in the Company (the “Series B Shares”), which FEEL then proposes
to transfer to Harmony as the FEEL Sale Shares.

	2.	 	Although FEEL holds 9,635,627 Ordinary Shares, 6,194,332 Ordinary Shares are pledged to CITIC Ka
Wah Bank Limited (“CITIC Ka Wah”) pursuant to the Share Mortgage of MIE Holdings Corporation dated
28th of July 2009 by and between FEEL as Mortgagor and CITIC Ka Wah as Offshore Security Agent and
2,064,777 Ordinary Shares are pledged to TPG Star pursuant to the Share Charge dated 9th of July
2009 by and between FEEL as Chargor and TPG Star as Secured Party (the “TPG Pledge”), and therefore only
1,376,518 Ordinary Shares held by FEEL remain unencumbered and freely transferable. FEEL therefore
intends to request that TPG Star release 444,738 Ordinary Shares (the “TPG Pledge Shares”) from the
TPG Pledge, to be repurchased and exchanged for 889,476 Series B Shares and transferred to Harmony
as a part of the FEEL Sale Shares.

2

 

	3.	 	In order to induce TPG Star to release the TPG Pledge Shares from the TPG Pledge, Harmony will
enter into a Credit Support Agreement (the “Credit Support Agreement”) with FEEL, MIE, the Company
and TPG Star, pursuant to which Harmony will guarantee the payment of Guaranteed Obligations (as
defined in the Credit Support Agreement) granted to TPG Star under the Series A Preferred Shares
Subscription and Put Option Agreement dated June 19, 2009 by and among TPG Star, FEEL, MIE and the
Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Support Agreement. As security therefor,
Harmony shall grant a charge by way of first ranking charge over 889,476 Series B Shares in favor
of TPG to secure such guarantee.

Dear Sirs:

We refer to (1) the Amended and Restated Shareholders’ Agreement of MIE Holdings Corporation (the
“Restated Shareholders Agreement”) dated October 30, 2009 by and among TPG Star Energy Ltd.
(“TPG”), Sino Link Limited (“Sino Link”), Far East Energy Limited (“FEEL”), MI Energy Corporation
(“MIE”) and MIE Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) and ; (2) the Agreement of Adherence dated
December 15, 2009 by and among TPG, Sino Link, FEEL, MIE, the Company and TPG Star Energy Co-invest
LLC (“TPG Co-invest”, together with TPG, the “TPG”); and (3) the Third Amended and Restated
Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company adopted on October 30, 2009 (the “Third
Restated Articles”). Terms defined in the Restated Shareholders Agreement shall have the same
meanings in this letter unless defined in this letter or the context otherwise requires. We are
writing to inform you that:

	1.	 	Harmony Energy Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands
(“Harmony”), FEEL, MIE, the Company and Mr. Zhang Ruilin, Mr. Zhao Jiangwei and Mr. Shang
Zhiguo are finalizing a Series B Preferred Shares Purchase Agreement (the “Harmony SPA”)
pursuant to which:

	 	a.	 	FEEL intends to sell to Harmony 3,642,512 Series B Preferred Shares in the Company (the
“FEEL Sale Shares”) for an aggregate consideration of US$89,970,046.4 (the “Purchase Price”,
based on a sale price per Series B
Preferred Share of US $24.70). Such Purchase Price will be paid in cash.
	 
	 	b.	 	As FEEL is not currently a holder of Series B Preferred Shares of the
Company, FEEL intends to request that the Company repurchase 1,821,256 Ordinary
Shares of the Company that FEEL currently holds in exchange for 3,642,512 Series B
Preferred Shares in the Company (the “Series B Shares”), which FEEL then proposes
to transfer to Harmony as the FEEL Sale Shares.

	2.	 	Although FEEL holds 9,635,627 Ordinary Shares, 6,194,332 Ordinary Shares are pledged to CITIC Ka
Wah Bank Limited (“CITIC Ka Wah”) pursuant to the Share Mortgage of MIE Holdings Corporation dated
28th of July 2009 by and between FEEL as Mortgagor and CITIC Ka Wah as Offshore Security Agent and
2,064,777 Ordinary Shares are pledged to TPG pursuant to the Share Charge dated 9th of July 2009 by
and
between FEEL as Chargor and TPG as Secured Party (the “TPG Pledge”), and therefore only 1,376,518
Ordinary Shares held by FEEL remain unencumbered and freely transferable. FEEL therefore intends
to request that TPG release 444,738

2

 

	 	 	Ordinary Shares (the “TPG Pledge Shares”) from the TPG Pledge, to be repurchased and exchanged for
889,476 Series B Preferred Shares and transferred to Harmony as a part of the FEEL Sale Shares.
	 
	3.	 	In connection with the Harmony SPA, TPG, Sino Link, Harmony, FEEL, MIE and the Company are
finalizing a Second Amended and Restated Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Second Restated
Shareholders’ Agreement”), pursuant to which Harmony and the TPG Co-invest will be added as parties
to the Second Restated Shareholders’ Agreement.
	 
	4.	 	TPG, Sino Link, Harmony, FEEL and the Company are finalizing a Fourth Amended and Restated
Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company (the “Fourth Restated Articles”) pursuant to
which the Company will be authorized to issue Series B Preferred Shares in which the initial
conversion ratio for Series B Preferred Share to each Ordinary Share will be 2 to 1.
	 
	5.	 	(A) Pursuant to the terms of the Restated Shareholders Agreement as adhered to by TPG Co-invest,
Sino Link has thirty (30) days after receipt of a Transfer Notice (as defined in Clause 2.2(a) of
the Restated Shareholders Agreement) (the “SHA Notice Period”) to elect whether to exercise its
right of first refusal to purchase its pro rata share (based on the proportion of Sino Link’s
Shareholding Percentage as it bears to the aggregate Shareholding Percentage of TPG and Sino Link)
of the FEEL Sale Shares (the “Sino Link Pro Rata Portion of FEEL Sale Shares”) and (B) pursuant to
the terms of the Third Restated Articles, Sino Link has thirty (30) days after the receipt of a
Transfer Notice (as defined in Article 10(b) of the Third Restated Articles) (the “AOA
Notice Period”) to elect whether to exercise its right of first refusal to purchase the Sino
Link Pro Rata Portion of FEEL Sale Shares.
	 
	6.	 	Further, under the Restated Shareholders Agreement, Sino Link, as a Shareholder has thirty (30)
days (the “Pre-Emptive Right Notice Period”) after receipt of a preemptive right notice
(“Pre-Emptive Right Notice”) to elect to purchase a pro rata portion (based on its Shareholding
Percentage) of the Series B Shares that the Company intends to sell and issue to FEEL (“Sino Link
Pre-emption Pro Rata Portion”).
	 
	7.	 	Further, under the Restated Shareholders Agreement, the creation of Series B Shares of the
Company will constitute the creation of “New Securities” of the Company, which may only be approved
by (A) the Shareholders having an aggregate Voting Percentage of more than sixty-six and two-thirds
percent (66-2/3%) present and voting at a validly held meetings, and (B) any Shares held and

paragraph 8, you agree to each of the following as of the date of this letter:

	 	a.	 	approve the repurchase of 1,821,256 Ordinary Shares of the Company that FEEL currently holds in

the Restated Shareholders Agreement;

first refusal under Clause 2.2 of the Restated Shareholders Agreement and under

the legality, validity or enforceability of this Charge.
	 
	 	(g)	 	No Other Security Interests
	 
	 	 	 	The Charged Portfolio shall remain free and clear of all security interests save

Secured Party may reasonably specify (and in such form as the Secured Party may reasonably
require in favour of the Secured Party or such parties’ nominee(s)) for the purpose of

Page 12

	 	 	perfect all documents and do all things which the attorney may consider to be necessary or
desirable for:

	 	(a)	 	carrying out any obligation imposed on the Chargor by this Charge (including

security and any transfers of the Charged Portfolio) if the Chargor has not itself carried
out such obligation; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	enabling the Secured Party to exercise, or delegate the exercise of, all or

	 	 	On and at any time after the occurrence of a Relevant Event (which is continuing) or if a
petition or application is presented for the making of an administration order in relation
to the Chargor or if any person gives written notice of its intention to appoint an
administrator of the Chargor or files such a notice with the court, the security created by
or pursuant to this Charge is immediately enforceable and the Secured Party may, without
notice to the Chargor or prior authorisation from any court, in its absolute discretion:

	 	(a)	 	secure and perfect their title to all or any part of the Charged Portfolio
(including transferring the Charged Portfolio into the name of the Secured Party or such
parties’ nominees);
	 
	 	(b)	 	enforce all or any part of the Security (at the times, in the manner and on
the terms they think fit) and take possession of and hold, sell, or otherwise dispose of
all or any part of the Charged Portfolio (at the time, in the manner and on the terms they
think fit); and
	 
	 	(c)	 	whether or not the Secured Party have appointed a Receiver, exercise all or
any of the powers, authorisations and discretions conferred by any applicable law in the
Cayman Islands (as varied or extended by this Charge) on chargees and by this Charge on any
Receiver or otherwise conferred by law on chargees or Receivers.

 

Page 13

	8.2	 	Secured Party liability

	 	(a)	 	Neither the Secured Party nor any Receiver will be liable to account as mortgagee or
mortgagee in possession in respect of the Charged Portfolio or be liable for any loss upon
realisation or for any neglect or default of any nature whatsoever in connection with the
Charged Portfolio for which a mortgagee or mortgagee in possession might as such be liable.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Neither the Secured Party nor any Receiver will be obliged to make any enquiry as to
the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it under this Charge or to make any
claim or to take any action to collect any monies assigned by this Charge or to enforce any
rights or benefits assigned to the Secured Party by this Charge or to which the Secured
Party may at any time be entitled hereunder.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Neither the Secured Party nor their respective agents, managers, officers, employees,
delegates or advisors will be liable for any claim, demand, liability, loss, damage,
consequential damage, cost or expense incurred or arising in connection with the exercise
or purported exercise of any rights, powers and discretions hereunder.

	8.3	 	Statutory powers
	 
	 	 	The powers conferred by this Charge on the Secured Party are in addition to and not in
substitution for the powers conferred on mortgagees and mortgagees in possession by law and
in the case of any conflict between the powers contained in any such law and those
conferred by this Charge the terms of this Charge will prevail.
	 
	9.	 	RECEIVERS AND ADMINISTRATORS
	 
	9.1	 	Appointment and removal
	 
	 	 	After this Charge becomes enforceable in accordance with Clause 8 (Security Enforcement),
the Secured Party may by writing or otherwise, without prior notice to the Chargor:

	 	(a)	 	appoint one or more persons to be a Receiver of the whole or any part of the
Charged Portfolio;
	 
	 	(b)	 	appoint one or more Receivers of separate parts of the Charged Portfolio
respectively;
	 
	 	(c)	 	remove (so far as it is lawfully able) any Receiver so appointed; and
	 
	 	(d)	 	appoint another person(s) as an additional or replacement Receiver(s).

	 	(a)	 	entitled to act individually or together with any other person appointed or
substituted as Receiver;
	 
	 	(b)	 	for all purposes deemed to be the agent of the Chargor which shall be solely
responsible for his acts, defaults and liabilities and for the payment of his remuneration
and no Receiver shall at any time act as agent for the Secured Party; and

 

Page 14

	 	(c)	 	entitled to remuneration for his services at a rate to be fixed by the Secured
Party from time to time.

	9.3	 	Powers of Receivers
	 
	 	 	In addition to the powers conferred by Clause 9.1, each Receiver shall (subject to any
restrictions in the instrument appointing him but notwithstanding any winding-up or
dissolution of the Chargor) have and be entitled to exercise, in relation to the Charged
Portfolio in respect of which he was appointed, and as varied and extended by the
provisions of this Charge (in the name of or on behalf of the Chargor or in his own name
and, in each case, at the cost of the Chargor):

	 	(a)	 	all the powers conferred on a receiver by any applicable law;
	 
	 	(b)	 	all the powers and rights of an absolute owner and power to do or omit to do
anything which the Chargor itself could do or omit to do;
	 
	 	(c)	 	the power to delegate (either generally or specifically) the powers,
authorities and discretions conferred on it by this Charge (including the power of
attorney) on such terms and conditions as it shall see fit which delegation shall not
preclude either the subsequent exercise, any subsequent delegation or any revocation of
such power, authority or discretion by the Receiver itself; and
	 
	 	(d)	 	the power to do all things (including bringing or defending proceedings in the
name or on behalf of the Chargor) which seem to the Receiver to be incidental or conducive

or vested in him;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the exercise of any rights, powers and remedies of the Secured Party
provided by or pursuant to this Charge or by law (including realisation of all or
any part of the Charged Portfolio); or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	bringing to his hands any assets of the Chargor forming part of, or
which when got in would be, Charged Portfolio.

	9.4	 	Consideration
	 
	 	 	The receipt of the Secured Party or any Receiver shall be a conclusive discharge to a
purchaser and, in making any sale or disposal of any of the Charged Portfolio or making any
acquisition, the Secured Party or any Receiver may do so for such consideration, in such
manner and on such terms as it thinks fit.
	 
	9.5	 	Protection of purchasers
	 
	 	 	No purchaser or other person dealing with the Secured Party or any Receiver shall be bound
to inquire whether the right of the Secured Party or such Receiver to exercise any of its
powers has arisen or become exercisable or be concerned with any propriety or regularity on
the part of the Secured Party or such Receiver in such dealings.
	 
	10.	 	EFFECTIVENESS OF COLLATERAL
	 
	10.1	 	Collateral Cumulative
	 
	 	 	The collateral constituted by this Charge and the Collateral Rights shall be cumulative, in
addition to and independent of every other security which Secured Party may at any time
hold for the Secured Obligations or any rights, powers and remedies provided by law.

 

Page 15

	 	 	No prior security held by the Secured Party over the whole or any part of the Charged
Portfolio shall merge into the collateral constituted by this Charge.
	 
	10.2	 	No Waiver
	 
	 	 	No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any of the Secured
Party, any right, power or remedy of any of the Secured Party provided by this Charge or by
law shall impair such right, power or remedy, or operate as a waiver, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of that right, power or remedy prevent any further or other exercise of
that or any other right, power or remedy of any of the Secured Party provided by this
Charge or by law. The rights, powers and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights, powers and remedies provided by law and may be exercised from time
to time and as often as the Secured Party may deem expedient. Any waiver by the Secured
Party of any terms of this Charge shall only be effective if given in writing and then only
for the purpose and upon the terms for which it is given.
	 
	10.3	 	Illegality, Invalidity, Unenforceability
	 
	 	 	If, at any time, any provision of this Charge is or becomes illegal, invalid or
unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality,
validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Charge nor the legality,
validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will
in any way be affected or impaired.
	 
	10.4	 	No liability
	 
	 	 	None of the Secured Party, the Secured Party’s nominee(s) or any Receiver appointed
pursuant to this Charge shall be liable by reason of (a) taking any action permitted by
this Charge or (b) any neglect or default in connection with the Charged Portfolio or (c)
the taking possession or realisation of all or any part of the Charged Portfolio, except in
the case of gross negligence or wilful default upon its part.
	 
	10.5	 	Implied Covenants for Title
	 
	 	 	It shall be implied in respect of Clause 2.2 (Charge) that the Chargor is charging the
Charged Portfolio free from all charges and encumbrances (whether monetary or not) and from
all other rights exercisable by third parties (including liabilities imposed and rights
conferred by or under any enactment).
	 
	10.6	 	Continuing security

	 	(a)	 	The Security from time to time constituted by this Charge is a continuing
security and will remain in full force and effect as a continuing security until released
or discharged by the Secured Party.
	 
	 	(b)	 	No part of the Security from time to time constituted by this Charge will be
considered satisfied or discharged by any intermediate payment, discharge or satisfaction
of the whole or any part of the Secured Obligations.

	10.7	 	Immediate recourse
	 
	 	 	The Chargor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Secured Party to proceed
against or enforce any other rights or Security or claim payment from any person before
claiming from the Chargor under this Charge. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or
any provision of this Charge to the contrary.

 

Page 16

	10.8	 	Avoidance of Payments
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding Clause 3.3 (Release) if the Secured Party consider that any amount paid or
credited to it is capable of being avoided or reduced by virtue of any bankruptcy,
insolvency, liquidation or similar laws the liability of the Chargor under this Charge and
the security constituted by this Charge shall continue and that amount shall not be
considered to have been irrevocably paid.
	 
	10.9	 	Waiver of defences
	 
	 	 	The obligations of the Chargor under this Charge and this Security will not be affected by
any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 10.9 (Waiver of defences),
would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations, or might operate to impair,
affect or discharge the rights and security of the Secured Party, in whole or in part,
under this Charge and this Security and whether or not known to the Company, the Chargor,
the Secured Party or any other person including:

	 	(a)	 	any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, the Chargor or
other person;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the release of the Chargor or any other person under the terms of any
composition or arrangement with any creditor of the Chargor;
	 
	 	(c)	 	the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal
or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of,
the Chargor or other person or any non-presentment or non-observance of any formality or
other requirement in respect of any instruments or any failure to realise the full value of
any other security;
	 
	 	(d)	 	any incapacity or lack of powers, authority or legal personality of or
dissolution or change in the members or status of, the Chargor or any other person;
	 
	 	(e)	 	any amendment (however fundamental) or replacement of any document or
security;
	 
	 	(f)	 	any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person
under any document or security; or
	 
	 	(g)	 	any insolvency or similar proceedings.

amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred by the Secured Party in
connection with the exercise, enforcement or preservation of any rights, powers and
remedies under this Charge, the enforcement of the Security created pursuant to this Charge
and any proceedings instituted by or against the Secured Party (other than proceedings
instituted by or against the Chargor) as a consequence of taking, holding or enforcing the
Security created pursuant to this Charge or of exercising those rights, powers and
remedies.
	 
	11.2	 	Indemnity
	 
	 	 	The Chargor shall, notwithstanding any release or discharge of all or any part of the
security, indemnify the Secured Party, their respective attorneys and any Receiver against
any action, proceeding, claims, losses, liabilities and costs which it may sustain

 

Page 17

	 	 	as a consequence of any breach by the Chargor of the provisions of this Charge, the
exercise or purported exercise of any of the rights and powers conferred on them by this
Charge or otherwise relating to the Charged Portfolio.

	11.3	 	Currency
	 
	 	 	If, under any applicable law or regulation, and whether pursuant to a judgment being made
or registered against the Chargor or the bankruptcy or liquidation of the Chargor or for
any other reason any payment under or in connection with this Charge is made or falls to be
satisfied in a currency (the “Payment Currency”) other than the currency in which such
payment is due under or in connection with this Charge (the “Contractual Currency”), then
to the extent that the amount of such payment actually received by the Secured Party when
converted into the Contractual Currency at the rate of exchange, falls short of the amount
due under or in connection with this Charge, the Chargor, as a separate and independent
obligation, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Secured Party against the amount of such
shortfall. For the purposes of this clause, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the
Secured Party is able on or about the date of such payment to purchase the Contractual
Currency with the Payment Currency and shall take into account any premium and other costs
of exchange with respect thereto.
	 
	12.	 	APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
	 
	 	 	All monies received or recovered by the Secured Party or any Receiver pursuant to this
Charge or the powers conferred by it shall (subject to the claims of any person having
prior rights thereto) be applied first in the payment of the costs, charges and expenses
incurred and payments made by the Receiver, the payment of his remuneration and the
discharge of any liabilities incurred by the Receiver in, or incidental to, the exercise of
any of his powers, and thereafter shall be applied by the Secured Party (notwithstanding
any purported appropriation by the Chargor) to the payment of the Secured Obligations.
	 
	13.	 	ASSIGNMENT
	 
	13.1	 	No Assignment and Exception
	 
	 	 	The provisions of this Charge shall be binding upon and accrue to the benefit of the
Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, none of the Parties may assign its rights and obligations in whole or in part
hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Parties, except that the Secured
Party is permitted to assign their rights and benefits under this Charge, in whole or in
part, to any Person who acquires Series A Preferred Shares of the Company held by the
Secured Party.
	 
	13.2	 	Disclosure

to appoint another agent with an address in the Cayman Islands, promptly upon request by
the Secured Party and authorises the Secured Party to appoint another agent if the Chargor

request for such provisional remedy or interim injunction by the parties to a court shall not be
deemed a waiver of this agreement to submit to arbitration.
	 
	6.4.	 	Continued Performance During Arbitration. During the period of submission to
arbitration and thereafter until the granting of the arbitral award, the Parties shall, except in
the event of termination, continue to perform all their obligations under this Agreement without
prejudice to a final adjustment in accordance with the said award.
	 
	6.5.	 	Survival. The provisions
contained in this Clause 6 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
	 
	7.	 	MISCELLANEOUS
	 
	7.1.	 	Successors and Assigns. This Agreement has been made solely for the benefit of the
Parties and their respective successors, personal representatives, heirs and estates and permitted
assigns and nothing herein is intended to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this
Agreement to any other Person.
	 
	7.2.	 	Assignment. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and accrue to the
benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Parties may assign its rights and obligations in
whole or in part hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Parties, except
that TPG may assign its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any Person who
acquires Shares held by TPG.

things reasonably within its power which are necessary or desirable to give full effect to the
spirit and intent of this Agreement.

	7.5.	 	No Waiver. The failure of a Party at any time to require observance or performance by
any other Party of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way affect the Party’s right
to require such observance or performance at any time thereafter, nor shall the waiver by any Party
of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any succeeding breach of
such provision. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise provided by law.

	7.6.	 	Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement
shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and
enforceability of all remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby; and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be interpreted and
applied so as to produce as near as may be the legal, economic and commercial result intended by
the Parties.

	7.7.	 	Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of
which is an original and all of which, taken together, constitute one and the same instrument. This
Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile signature and in any number of

	(2)	 	FAR EAST ENERGY LIMITED, a company incorporated and
existing under the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administration Region of the People’s Republic of
China (the “Guaranteed Party”).

RECITALS

	 	(b)	 	Unless this Guarantee provides otherwise or the context otherwise requires, a term

Purchase Agreement shall have the same meaning (or be subject to the same construction) in
this Guarantee.
	 
	 	(c)	 	A reference in this Guarantee to any agreement or document or to any agreement or
document entered into pursuant to or in accordance with any such agreement or document is a

	 	(i)	 	this Guarantee or other agreement or document as amended, novated,
supplemented, extended or restated; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	any other agreement or document whereby such
agreement or document is so amended, restated, varied, novated or supplemented or which is

	 	(d)	 	A provision of law is a reference to that provision as amended or re-enacted.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Clause headings are for ease of reference only and shall not affect the construction of

	2.	 	GUARANTEE
	 
	2.1	 	Guarantee and Indemnity
	 
	 	 	The Guarantor as principal obligor and not merely as surety irrevocably and
unconditionally:

	 	(a)	 	guarantees to the Guaranteed Party the due and punctual performance by
the Purchaser of the Liabilities;
	 
	 	(b)	 	undertakes with the Guaranteed Party that whenever
the Purchaser does not pay any amount of any Liability in full when due or expressed to be
due under or in connection with the Shares Purchase Agreement, the Guarantor shall
immediately on demand unconditionally pay that amount to the Guaranteed Party; and
	 
	 	(c) 	 	agrees with the Guaranteed Party as a primary and independent obligation that if, for any
reason, any amount of any Liability claimed by the Guaranteed Party under this Guarantee is
not recoverable on the basis of a guarantee, it will be liable as a principal debtor and
primary obligor to indemnify the Guaranteed Party against any cost, loss or liability it
incurs as a result of the Purchaser not paying any amount of any Liability on the date on
which it is stated to be due (but the amount payable by the Guarantor under this indemnity
will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Guarantee if the amount
claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee).

	2.2	 	Demands
	 
	 	 	The amount specified in a demand made by the Guaranteed Party pursuant to this Guarantee as
to the amount of any Liability or the amount due from the Guarantor under this Guarantee
shall, save for manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Guarantor.
	 
	3.	 	CONTINUING SECURITY
	 
	3.1	 	Continuing Obligations
	 
	 	 	This Guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of amounts
payable by the Purchaser under or in relation to the Liabilities, regardless of any
intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.
	 
	3.2	 	Reinstatement
	 
	 	 	If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the Liabilities or any
security for those Liabilities or otherwise) is made by the Guaranteed Party in whole or in
part on the faith of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be
restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then
the liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee will continue or be reinstated as if
the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

3

 

	3.3	 	Waiver of Defences
	 
	 	 	Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) demands, protests, or notices as the
same pertain to the Purchaser; (ii) any right to require Guaranteed Party to proceed
against the Purchaser or to pursue any other remedy; (iii) any right to assert against the
Purchaser, as a defense, counterclaim, set-off, recoupment or cross claim in respect of the
Liabilities, any defense (legal or equitable) or other claim which Guarantor may now or at
any time hereafter have against the Purchaser or any other Person; (iv) any defense based
upon an election of remedies by the Purchaser, unless the same would excuse performance by
the Purchaser, under this Guarantee; and (v) any duty of Guaranteed Party to advise
Guarantor of any information known to Guaranteed Party regarding the Purchaser or its
ability to perform under this Guarantee.
	 
	3.4	 	Guarantor Intent
	 
	 	 	Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 3.3 (Waiver of Defences), the Guarantor
expressly confirms that it intends that this Guarantee shall extend from time to time to
any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to the Shares
Purchase Agreement.
	 
	3.5	 	Immediate Recourse
	 
	 	 	The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Guaranteed Party to
proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person
before claiming from the Guarantor under this Guarantee. This waiver applies irrespective
of any law or any provision of the Shares Purchase Agreement to the contrary.
	 
	3.6	 	Deferral of Guarantor’s Rights
	 
	 	 	Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Purchaser under or in connection
with the Liabilities have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Guaranteed Party
otherwise directs, the Guarantor will not exercise any rights (its “rights of recourse”)
which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under this Guarantee or
by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Guarantee:

	 	(a)	 	to
be indemnified by the Purchaser;
	 
	 	(b)	 	to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether
by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Guaranteed Party under the Shares
Purchase Agreement or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in
connection with, the Shares Purchase Agreement by the Guaranteed Party;
	 
	 	(c)	 	to bring legal
or other proceedings for an order requiring the Purchaser to make any payment or perform
any obligation in respect of which the Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or
indemnity under this Guarantee;
	 
	 	(d)	 	to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim
against the Purchaser; and/or

4

 

	 	(e)	 	to claim or prove as a creditor of the Purchaser or any other person or its estate in
competition with the Guaranteed Party.

	 	The Guarantor shall hold any monies, rights or security held or received by it as a result
of the exercise of any such rights of recourse on behalf of, and to the order of, the
Guaranteed Party for application in accordance with the terms of this Guarantee as if such
monies, rights or security were held or received by the Guaranteed Party under this
Guarantee.

	3.7	 	Additional Security
	 
	 	 	This Guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or
security now or subsequently held by the Guaranteed Party.
	 
	4.	 	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
	 
	 	 	The Guarantor makes the representations and warranties set out in Clauses 4.1 (Status) to

Guarantee, the choice of English law as the governing law of this Guarantee and any

Re: Far East Energy Limited (the “Company”)

INTRODUCTION

	1.	 	We have acted as legal counsel as to the laws of the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region (“Hong Kong”) of the People’s Republic of China to the
Company, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong in
connection with its proposed sale of 3,642,512 Series B Preferred Shares of MIE
Holdings Corporation to Harmony Energy Limited (the “Transaction”) under the
terms of a shares purchase agreement dated 5 February, 2010 (the “Shares Purchase
Agreement”), entered into between Harmony Energy Limited, Zhang Ruilin, Zhao
Jiangwei, Shang Zhiguo, MI Energy Corporation, MIE Holdings Corporation and the
Company.
	 
	2.	 	We have acted as the legal counsel to the Company in connection with the
Transaction.
	 
	3.	 	This opinion is limited to the laws, rules and regulations of Hong Kong as
in force as
at the date hereof and as they would be applied by the Hong Kong courts on the
date
of this opinion. It is given on the basis that it will be governed by and
construed in
accordance with Hong Kong law. In giving this opinion we neither express nor
imply
any opinion on any laws, rules and regulations, other than the laws of Hong Kong,
and we have not made any investigations of the laws, rules and regulations of any
other jurisdiction.

this
opinion, we express no opinion or view on the Shares Purchase Agreement or the
transactions contemplated by it and make no comment with regard
to the
representations that may be made by the Company.

DOCUMENTS REVIEWED

	5.	 	For the purposes of this opinion we have reviewed the following documents:

	 	(i)	 	an electronic copy in pdf format of the Company’s certificate of
incorporation extracted from our Searches;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	an electronic copy in pdf format of the Company’s memorandum and
articles of association extracted from our Searches (the “M&A”);
	 
	 	(iii)	 	an executed original of the Shares Purchase Agreement;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	an executed original of the Shareholders Agreement (as defined
in the Shares Purchase Agreement);
	 
	 	(v)	 	an executed original of the TPG Waiver Letter (as defined in the
Shares Purchase Agreement);
	 
	 	(vi)	 	an executed original of the Sino Link Waiver Letter (as defined

	 	(ix)	 	an executed original of the Guaranty (as defined in the Shares
Purchase Agreement); and
	 
	 	(x)	 	an executed original of the written resolutions of all the

	 	 	Each of the documents referred to at paragraphs (iv) to (ix) are hereinafter
referred to as the “Transaction Documents”.
	 
	6.	 	On 9 March, 2010, we carried out full searches at the Hong Kong Companies
Registry
in respect of the Company. On the same date we also made searches in respect of the
Company at the High Court of Hong Kong and the Official Receiver’s Office of Hong
Kong (through our search agent, Fastle Company (the “Search Agent”)). We confirm
that the searches (the “Searches”) at the Hong Kong Companies Registry, the Official
Receiver’s Office in Hong Kong and the High Court of Hong Kong referred to above
did not reveal any filings made by the Company or any other person recording any
order or resolution for the winding-up of the Company or the appointment of a

2

 

Harmony Energy Limited

10 March, 2010

	 	 	receiver of the Company (whether under any existing security granted by the Company
or otherwise) or any statutory declaration by the Company’s directors under Section
228A of the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 32) of the Laws of Hong Kong (the “Companies
Ordinance”) or any notice of appointment of a liquidator or receiver (whether under
any existing security granted by the Company or otherwise) of the Company.
	 
	 	 	Except as referred to above, we have not examined any other document or made any
other search or enquiry for the purposes of giving the opinion set out herein. It
should be noted that the search undertaken by the Search Agent at the High Court of
Hong Kong made on 9 March, 2010 was limited to the period between 1 January, 2000
and 6 March, 2010.

	 	(i)	 	All signatures, stamps and seals are genuine, all documents
submitted to us as originals are authentic and complete and all deeds and
counterparts were executed in single physical form; any document submitted to us

winding-up, no petition has been presented or order made by a court for the
winding-up, dissolution or receivership of the Company and no liquidator,
receiver, administrator, trustee, or similar officer has been appointed in
relation to the Company or any of its assets, or in relation to any of its
assets in any jurisdiction;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	all public records of the Company which we have examined are
accurate and that the information disclosed by the Searches is true and

such Searches did not fail to disclose any information which had been delivered
for registration but did not appear on the public records at the date of the
Searches;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	there is nothing in the minute book of the Company, which we
have not inspected, that would or might affect the opinions hereinafter
appearing;
	 
	 	(v)	 	there has been no alteration in the status or condition of the
Company as disclosed by the Searches;
	 
	 	(vi)	 	there is nothing under any law (other than the laws of Hong
Kong) which would or might affect the opinions hereinafter appearing;

Harmony Energy Limited

10 March, 2010

	 	(vii)	 	the Resolutions were properly adopted by the Company’s
directors, and the Resolutions have not been modified, amended, annulled,
rescinded or revoked (in whole or in part) and are in full force and effect;
and
	 
	 	(viii)	 	without independent investigation, all representations and warranties
contained in the Shares Purchase Agreement and in any of the Transaction
Documents are, or will when given, be true and correct.

OPINIONS

	8.	 	Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing assumptions (which we have taken no
steps
to independently verify) and the qualifications set out below, and having regard to
such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

authority to execute the Shares Purchase Agreement and each of the Transaction
Documents, perform and consummate the transactions contemplated under the
Shares Purchase Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents, and no such
execution, performance or consummation is and will result in a breach or
violation by the Company of any of the terms and provisions of (a) the laws or
regulations (having the force of law) of Hong Kong, or (b) the M&A;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the Company has taken all necessary corporate action to
authorize the execution and delivery by the Company of the Shares Purchase
Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents, the performance by the Company

Transaction Documents, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated by the Shares Purchase Agreement and each of the Transaction
Documents; and

Shares Purchase Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents, and the
consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the Shares
Purchase Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents.

QUALIFICATIONS

	9.	 	The opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications:

	 	(i)	 	It should be noted that the Hong Kong Companies Registry search
is not capable of revealing whether or not a winding-up petition has been
presented. The Searches should not be regarded as conclusive and, in particular,
any such orders, resolutions, appointments, statutory declarations or
notices of

4

 

Harmony Energy Limited

10 March, 2010

	 	 	 	appointment as are referred to in paragraph 6 above, may not yet have been
filed or placed on the public record.

This Opinion may be relied upon by the addressee only. It may not be disclosed to any other
person or quoted or referred to it in any public document or filed it with any person,
except with our prior written consent.

	2	 	Assumptions

In giving this opinion we have assumed (without further verification) the completeness and
accuracy of the Registered Agent’s Certificate and the Director’s Certificate. We have also relied
upon the following assumptions, which we have not independently verified:

	2.1	 	The Transaction Documents have been authorised and duly executed and delivered by or on
behalf of all relevant parties (other than the Company as a matter of British Virgin Islands
law) in
accordance with all relevant laws (other than the laws of the British Virgin Islands).
	 
	2.2	 	The Transaction Documents are legal, valid, binding and enforceable against all relevant
parties
in accordance with their respective terms under all relevant laws (other than the laws of the
British Virgin Islands).
	 
	2.3	 	The choice of English law as the governing law of the Share Purchase Agreement has been
made in good faith and would be regarded as a valid and binding selection which will be upheld
by the courts of England as a matter of English law and all other relevant laws (other than the
laws of the British Virgin Islands).
	 
	2.4	 	The choice of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law of the New York
Documents has been made in good faith and would be regarded as a valid and binding selection
which will be upheld by the courts of the State of New York as a matter of the laws of the
State of
New York and all other relevant laws (other than the laws of the British Virgin Islands).
	 
	2.5	 	The choice of Cayman Islands law as the governing law of the Share Charge has been made in
good faith and would be regarded as a valid and binding selection which will be upheld by
the
courts of the Cayman Islands as a matter of Cayman Islands law and all other relevant laws
(other than the laws of the British Virgin Islands).
	 
	2.6	 	Copy documents, conformed copies or drafts of documents provided to us are true and complete
copies of, or in the final forms of, the originals, and translations of documents provided to us are
complete and accurate.
	 
	2.7	 	All signatures, initials and seals are genuine.

2

 

	2.8	 	Except to the extent that we opine herein on matters of British Virgin Islands law, the
accuracy
and completeness of all factual representations expressed in or implied by the documents we
have examined.
	 
	2.9	 	That all public records of the Company which we have examined are accurate and that the
information disclosed by the searches which we conducted against the Company at the Registry
of Corporate Affairs and the High Court Registry is true and complete and that such information
has not since then been altered and that such searches did not fail to disclose any information
which had been delivered for registration but did not appear on the public records at the date of
our searches.
	 
	2.10	 	The power, authority and legal right of all parties under all relevant laws and regulations (other
than, with respect to the Company, the laws of the British Virgin Islands) to enter into,
execute,
deliver and perform their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents.
	 
	2.11	 	The final execution version of the Share Charge that has been executed as a deed existed at
the
moment of execution as a single physical document (whether in counterpart or not) including the
entire body of the Share Charge, the signature pages and any annexes and/or schedules thereto.
	 
	2.12	 	Under Cayman Islands law and all other relevant laws (other than the laws of the British Virgin
Islands), including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the governing law
and law
of situs of the property subject to the security interests created pursuant to the Share
Charge (the
“Secured Property”), the Share Charge creates a valid first priority security interest over
the
Secured Property and any steps required as a matter of Cayman Islands law or other relevant
laws (other than the laws of the British Virgin Islands) to perfect such security interest
or to
regulate its ranking in point of priority have been taken.
	 
	2.13	 	The existence of the Secured Property, that immediately prior to the creation of the Share
Charge
the Company was and continues to be the legal and beneficial owner of the Secured Property
and that no encumbrances or equities exist in respect of the Secured Property (other than arising
by virtue of the laws of the British Virgin Islands or as maintained in the register of relevant
charges maintained by the Company pursuant to section 162 of the BVI Business Companies
Act, 2004 or the Public Company Records) and that there is no contractual or other prohibition
(other than arising by virtue of the laws of the British Virgin Islands) binding upon the Company
preventing the Company from creating the first priority security interest over the Secured Property
pursuant to the Share Charge.
	 
	2.14	 	The Secured Property is not subject to any liens or rights of forfeiture under the articles of
association of MIE and MIE has not received a stop notice under Order 50 r.11 of the Grand
Court Rules of the Cayman Islands in respect of the Secured Property.
	 
	2.15	 	The Resolutions remain in full force and effect.
	 
	2.16	 	Payment obligations of the Company under the Transaction Documents are unsubordinated and
undeferred as a contractual matter under the governing law of the Transaction Documents and
the parties to the Transaction Documents do not subsequently agree to subordinate or defer their
claims.
	 
	2.17	 	There is nothing under any law (other than the law of the British Virgin Islands) which would or
might affect the opinions hereinafter appearing. Specifically, we have made no independent
investigation of English law, the laws of the State of New York and the laws of Cayman
Islands.

3

 

	2.18	 	There is nothing contained in the minute book or the corporate records of the Company
(which
we have not inspected) which would or might affect the opinions hereinafter appearing.
	 
	2.19	 	The Company is not a sovereign entity of any state and is not a subsidiary, direct or
indirect of
any sovereign entity or state.
	 
	3	 	Opinions

Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing assumptions and the qualifications set out below, and
having regard to such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

	3.1	 	The Company is a company limited by shares registered under the BVI Business Companies Act,
2004 (the “Act”), duly incorporated, in good standing at the Registry of Corporate Affairs
and
validly existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, and possesses the capacity to
sue and
be sued in its own name.
	 
	3.2	 	The Company has full power and authority under its Memorandum and Articles of Association to
enter into, execute and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.
	 
	3.3	 	The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the performance by the Company
of its obligations thereunder does not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or
provisions of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company or any law, public rule
or regulation applicable to the Company in the British Virgin Islands.
	 
	3.4	 	The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents have been duly
authorised by and on behalf of the Company and, assuming the Transaction Documents have
been executed and unconditionally delivered by the sole director of the Company, the
Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company and
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance
with
their terms.
	 
	3.5	 	No authorisations, consents, approvals, licenses, validations or exemptions are required by
law
from any governmental authorities or agencies or other official bodies in the British Virgin
Islands
in connection with:

	 	(a)	 	the creation, execution or delivery of the Transaction Documents;
	 
	 	(b)	 	enforcement of the Transaction Documents; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	the performance by the Company or any other party of their respective
obligations under any of the Transaction Documents.

	3.6	 	With the exception of filing fees charged by the Registry of Corporate Affairs in respect of
any
optional filings made at the Registry of Corporate Affairs no taxes, fees or charges
(including
stamp duty) are payable (either by direct assessment or withholding) to the government or
other
taxing authority in the British Virgin Islands under the laws of the British Virgin Islands
in respect
of:

	 	(a)	 	the execution or delivery of the Transaction
Documents;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the enforcement of the Transaction
Documents; or

4

 

	 	(c)	 	payments made under, or pursuant to, the Transaction Documents.

	 	 	Companies incorporated or registered under the Act are currently exempt from income and
corporate tax. In addition, the British Virgin Islands currently does not levy capital
gains tax on companies incorporated or registered under the Act. There is no applicable
statutory usury or interest limitation law in the British Virgin Islands which would
restrict the recovery of payments or the performance by the Company of its obligations
under the Transaction Documents.
	 
	3.7	 	The courts of the British Virgin Islands will observe and give effect to the choice of
English law as
the governing law of the Share Purchase Agreement.
	 
	3.8	 	The courts of the British Virgin Islands will observe and give effect to the choice of the
laws of the
State of New York as the governing law of the New York Documents.
	 
	3.9	 	The courts of the British Virgin Islands will observe and give effect to the choice of Cayman
Islands law as the governing law of the Share Charge.
	 
	3.10	 	Based solely on our inspection of the High Court Registry from the date of incorporation of the
Company there were no actions or petitions pending against the Company in the High Court of
the British Virgin Islands as at the time of our searches on 5 March 2010.
	 
	3.11	 	On the basis of our searches conducted at the Registry of Corporate Affairs and at the High
Court
Registry, no currently valid order or resolution for the winding-up of the Company and no
current
notice of appointment of a receiver over the Company, or any of its assets, appears on the
records maintained in respect of the Company. It is a requirement that notice of appointment
of a
receiver be registered with the Registry of Corporate Affairs under section 118 of the
Insolvency
Act 2003. In addition we refer you to the Registered Agent’s Certificate that states that
the
registered agent is not aware that any liquidation, dissolution or insolvency proceedings
have
been commenced against the Company or that a receiver has been appointed over the Company
or any of its assets.
	 
	3.12	 	On the basis of our search conducted at the Registry of Corporate Affairs, no charge created
by
the Company has been registered pursuant to section 163 of the Act. We also refer you to
the
Registered Agent’s Certificate that states that no entries have been made on the Company’s
register of charges maintained pursuant to section 162 of the Act.
	 
	3.13	 	Service of process in the British Virgin Islands on the Company may be effected by leaving at
the
registered office of the Company the relevant document to be served. On the basis of our
search
at the Registry of Corporate Affairs, the registered office of the Company is Portcullis
TrustNet
(BVI) Limited, PO Box 3444, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands.
	 
	3.14	 	It is not necessary for any of the parties to the Transaction Documents to be licensed,
qualified or
otherwise entitled to carry on business in, or otherwise registered with, any governmental or other
authority of or in the British Virgin Islands in order to claim and enforce in the British Virgin Islands
any right in the Transaction Documents.
	 
	3.15	 	It is not necessary to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of the
Transaction Documents that any document be filed, recorded or enrolled with any governmental
authority or agency or any official body in the British Virgin Islands.

5

 

	3.16	 	The parties to the Transaction Documents (other than the Company) will not be deemed to
be
resident, domiciled or carrying on business in, or subject to, the laws of the British Virgin Islands
by reason only of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction
Documents.
	 
	3.17	 	The Company is subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the British Virgin Islands and is not
entitled to claim any immunity from suit or execution of any judgment on the grounds of
sovereignty or otherwise.
	 
	3.18	 	In relation to the Share Charge:

	 	(a)	 	the courts of the British Virgin Islands will recognise the security interest
created by the
Share Charge;
	 
	 	(b)	 	no steps are required as a matter of British Virgin Islands law to perfect such
security
interest. However it is a requirement of the Act that the Company keep a register of
all
relevant charges created by the Company (the “Register”), either at the Company’s
registered office, or at the office of the Company’s registered agent. Details of the
Share
Charge should therefore be entered into the Register. Furthermore, for the purposes
of
priority, an application should be made to the British Virgin Islands Registrar of
Corporate
Affairs to register the charge created by the Share Charge at the Registry of
Corporate
Affairs; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	subject to registration as detailed in paragraph 3.18(b) above the security
interest created
by the Share Charge will have priority over any claims by third parties (other than
those
preferred by law) including any liquidator or a creditor of the Company, subject in
the case
of a winding up of the Company in a jurisdiction other than the British Virgin
Islands to any
provisions of the laws of that jurisdiction as to priority of claims in a winding up.

	3.19	 	The obligations of the Company under the Transaction Documents rank and will rank at least
pari
passu with all its other present and future unsecured obligations (other than those
preferred by
law).
	 
	3.20	 	The Company has full power and authority under its Memorandum and Articles of Association to
acquire, hold and sell foreign currency and securities.
	 
	4	 	Qualifications

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications:

	4.1	 	The term “enforceable” as used above means that the obligations assumed by the Company under
the Transaction Documents are of a type which the courts of the British Virgin Islands will
enforce. It does not mean that those obligations will necessarily be enforced in all
circumstances in accordance with their terms. In particular:

	 	(a)	 	enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation,
reorganisation, readjustment of debts or moratorium or other laws of general
application relating to or affecting the rights of creditors;

6

 

	 	(b)	 	enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity. For example,
equitable
remedies such as specific performance may not be available, inter alia, where
damages
are considered to be an adequate remedy;
	 
	 	(c)	 	some claims may become barred under the statutes of limitation or may be or
become
subject to defences of set off, counterclaim, estoppel and similar defences;
	 
	 	(d)	 	where obligations are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside the British
Virgin Islands,
they may not be enforceable in the British Virgin Islands to the extent that
performance
would be illegal under the laws of that jurisdiction;
	 
	 	(e)	 	the courts of the British Virgin Islands have jurisdiction to give judgment in
the currency of
the relevant obligation and statutory rates of interest payable upon judgments will
vary
according to the currency of the judgment;
	 
	 	(f)	 	obligations to make payments that may be regarded as penalties will not be
enforceable;
and
	 
	 	(g)	 	the courts of the British Virgin Islands may decline to exercise jurisdiction
in relation to
substantive proceedings brought under or in relation to the Transaction Documents in
matters where they determine that such proceedings may be tried in a more
appropriate
forum.

	4.2	 	To maintain the Company in good standing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, annual
filing fees must be paid to the Registry of Corporate Affairs.
	 
	4.3	 	The obligations of the Company may be subject to restrictions pursuant to United Nations
sanctions as implemented under the laws of the British Virgin Islands.
	 
	4.4	 	Preferred creditors under the Insolvency Act, 2003 will rank ahead of unsecured creditors and
secured creditors where the latter’s security is in the nature of a floating charge.
	 
	4.5	 	The courts of the British Virgin Islands will not recognise or enforce foreclosure (meaning the
assumption by the chargee of legal ownership of the Secured Property and the extinction of
the
chargor’s equity of redemption therein) against the Secured Property pursuant to any
provision in
the Share Charge in the absence of foreclosure proceedings against the relevant chargor in
the
courts of the British Virgin Islands, or a judgment in respect of foreclosure proceedings
against
the chargor in the courts of another jurisdiction which the courts of the British Virgin
Islands are
prepared to enforce in accordance with the usual principles applicable to the enforcement of
foreign judgments in the British Virgin Islands.
	 
	4.6	 	Following the English decision in MacMillan Inc. V
Bishopsgate Trust (No. 3) [1995] 1 W.L.R.
978,
which would be persuasive although not technically binding in the courts of the British
Virgin
Islands, it is not necessarily the case that, as a matter of British Virgin Islands conflict
of law rules,
priorities of competing interests in shares in a Cayman Islands company will be determined
according to the jurisdiction of incorporation of such company, for example, when the
register of
members is maintained in another jurisdiction.
	 
	4.7	 	Provided that the assumptions in paragraph 2.13 and 2.14 above are correct then the interest
of
TPG Star Energy Ltd. created pursuant to the Share Charge will rank after any later legal
interest
in the Secured Property created in favour of a bona fide purchaser or mortgagee for value
without

7

 

	 	 	notice of the security interest created pursuant to the Transaction Documents. Under British
Virgin Islands law, registration of the Register with the British Virgin Islands Registrar
of Corporate Affairs is deemed to be constructive notice of the matters therein.
	 
	4.8	 	A certificate, determination, calculation or designation of any party to the Transaction
Documents
as to any matter provided therein might be held by a British Virgin Islands court not to be
conclusive final and binding if, for example, it could be shown to have an unreasonable or
arbitrary basis, or in the event of manifest error.
	 
	4.9	 	We reserve our opinion as to the extent to which the courts of the British Virgin Islands
would, in
the event of any relevant illegality, sever the offending provisions and enforce the remainder of
the transaction of which such provisions form a part, notwithstanding any express provisions in
this regard.
	 
	4.10	 	We make no comment with regard to the references to foreign statutes in the Transaction
Documents.
	 
	4.11	 	This opinion is given only as to, and based on, circumstances and matters of fact existing and
known to us on the date of this opinion. This opinion only relates to the laws of the
British Virgin
Islands which are in force on the date of this opinion.
	 
	4.12	 	We express no view as to the commercial terms of the Transaction Documents or whether such
terms represent the intentions of the parties and make no comment with regard to the
representations that may be made by the Company.

This opinion may be relied upon by the addressee only. It may not be relied upon by any other
person except with our prior written consent.

Yours faithfully
