          The Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

     (a) Regulation S.

          (i) The Investor (A) is domiciled and has its principal place of business outside the United
States, (B) certifies that it is not a U.S. Person as defined under Rule 902 of Regulation S and is
not acquiring the Securities for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person, (C) at the time of
offering to the Investor and communication of the Investor’s order to subscribe for the Securities
and at the time of the Investor’s execution of this Agreement, the Investor was located outside the
United States, and (D) at the time of the Closing the Investor, or persons acting on the Investor’s
behalf in connection therewith, will be located outside the United States.

          (ii) The Investor has been advised and acknowledges that: (A) the Securities issued pursuant
to this Agreement and the Warrant Agreement have not been, and when issued, will not be registered
under the 1933 Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States, (B) in issuing the
Securities to the Investor pursuant hereto, the Company is relying upon the exemption from
registration provided by Regulation S of the 1933 Act, and (C) it is a condition to the
availability of the Regulation S safe harbor that the Securities not be offered or sold in the
United States or to a U.S. Person until the expiration of a period of 40 days after the Closing
Date (the “Distribution Compliance Period”).

          (iii) The Investor acknowledges and covenants that until the expiration of the Distribution
Compliance Period: (A) it and its agents or representatives have not and will not solicit offers
to buy, offer for sale or sell any of the Securities or any beneficial interest therein in the
United States or to or for the account of a U.S. Person, and (B) notwithstanding the foregoing,
prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, the Securities may be offered and
sold by the holder thereof only if such offer and sale is made in compliance with the terms of
this Agreement and either, (X) the offer or sale is within the United States or to or for the
account of a U.S. Person and pursuant to an effective registration statement, Rule 144 promulgated
under the

- 4 -

 

1933 Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act, or (Y) the offer and
sale is outside the United States and to other than a U.S. Person. The foregoing restrictions are
binding upon subsequent transferees of the Securities, except for transferees pursuant to an
effective registration statement. The Investor agrees that after the Distribution Compliance
Period, the Securities may be offered or sold within the United States or to or for the account of
a U.S. Person only in accordance with this Agreement and pursuant to applicable securities laws.

          (iv) The Investor hereby acknowledges that during the Distribution Compliance Period, no
deposit of the Securities issued hereunder will be accepted into its American Depositary Shares
(“ADS”) program, and the Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S.
Persons unless the Securities are registered under the 1933 Act, or an exemption from the
registration requirements of the 1933 Act is available. The Investor further acknowledges that,
for so long as the Securities are held by “affiliates” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(1) under
the 1933 Act or are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the 1933
Act, the Securities will not be eligible for deposit under any unrestricted depositary receipt
facility.

          (b) No Public Sale or Distribution. Subject to the potential transfer to the
Permitted Transferee (as defined in Section 4(e)(iii)), the Investor is acquiring the Securities
for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale
or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act. The
Investor does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any
Person to distribute any of the Securities. “Person” means an individual, a limited liability
company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization or
a government or any department or agency thereof.

          (c) Reliance on Exemptions. The Investor understands that the Securities are being
offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of
United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and
accuracy of, and the Investor’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of the Investor set forth herein in order to determine the
availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Securities.

          (d) Investment Risk; Knowledge and Experience. The Investor recognises that its
investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk, and the Investor has considered
whether an investment in the Securities is appropriate for the Investor. In this
regard, the Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is
capable of evaluating the risks and merits of prospective investment in the Securities.

          (e) Transfer or Resale. The Investor understands that: (i) the Securities have not
been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, and may not be
offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred within the United States or to or for the account
or benefit of a U.S. Person unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) the Investor shall
have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in form, scope and substance reasonably
acceptable to the Company, to the effect that such Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred

- 5 -

 

may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) the
Investor provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such Securities can be sold, assigned
or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the 1933 Act, as amended, (or a
successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule 144”); (ii) any sale of the Securities made in
reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule
144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the
Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined
in the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules
and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other Person is under
any obligation to register the Securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to
comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

          (f) Legends. The Investor understands that the certificates or other instruments
representing the Securities, until such time as the resale of the Securities have been registered
under the 1933 Act, shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a
restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed
against transfer of such stock certificates):

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT, AND,
ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT

TRANSACTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULES 904 AND 905 UNDER THE ACT, OR (F) PURSUANT TO THE
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT (IF AVAILABLE); AND (3)
EXCEPT FOR THE RESALE OR TRANSFER AS DESCRIBED IN CLAUSES 2(A), (B), (E) AND (F), AGREES
THAT IT WILL, IF APPLICABLE, GIVE EACH PERSON TO WHOM THESE SHARES ARE TRANSFERRED A NOTICE
SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER OF THESE SHARES
PURSUANT TO CLAUSES (2)(C), (D) OR (F) ABOVE, THE HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH

- 6 -

 

TRANSFER, FURNISH TO THE COMPANY SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS, OR OTHER
INFORMATION AS THE COMPANY MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS
BEING MADE PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO THE

acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Investor is a
party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree
(including federal and state securities laws) applicable to the Investor, except in the case of

     The Company represents and warrants to the Investor that, except as set forth in its Public
Documents (as defined in Section 3A(j) below) (excluding disclosures of non-specific risks faced by
the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) included in any forward-looking statement,
disclaimer, risk factor disclosure or other similarly non-specific statements that are similarly
predictive or forward-looking in nature; provided, however that (i) any historical facts related to
the Group and (ii) any specific exposure or effect faced by the Group emanating from specifically
disclosed facts contained within any such disclosure shall be deemed disclosed for purposes of the
representations and warranties set forth in this Article 3A):

          (a) Organisation and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and
validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated,
and has the requisite corporate power and authorisation to own its properties and to carry on its
business as now being conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do
business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the
nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent
that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means (1) any
material adverse effect on (i) the business, properties, assets, liabilities, operations, results
of operations or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii)
the authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents
(as defined in Section 3A(b) below) or (2) the delisting of the Common Shares from the SEHK and the
American Depository Receipts over the Common Shares from the NYSE; provided, however, that for
purposes of clause (i) above, in no event shall any of the following exceptions, alone or in
combination with the other enumerated exceptions below, be deemed to constitute, nor shall be taken
into account in determining whether there has been or will be, a Material Adverse Effect: (A) any
effect resulting from compliance with the terms and conditions of, or from the announcement of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (B) any effect that results from changes affecting any
of the industries in which the Company operates generally or the economy generally, (C) any effect
that results from changes affecting general worldwide economic or capital market conditions,
provided that any such changes in (B) and (C) do not substantially disproportionately affect the
Company in any material respect (as otherwise such changes in (B) and (C) shall be regarded as
having a Material Adverse Effect under this Section 3A(a)), or (D) any change in the Company’s
stock price or trading volume, in and of itself, primarily resulting from any of the effects or
changes described in the foregoing clauses (A), (B) or (C). Each subsidiary of the Company has
been duly organised and is validly existing in good

- 8 -

 

standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organisation except to the extent that the failure
to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (b)
Authorisation; Enforcement; Validity. Other than the approvals set out in Section
5(a) below, the Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform
its obligations under this Agreement and each of the other agreements entered into by the parties
hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the Warrant
Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) and to issue the Securities in accordance
with the terms hereof and thereof. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the
Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
including, without limitation, the issuance of the Securities has been duly authorised by the

filing, consent or authorisation in connection with the satisfaction of the conditions in Sections
5(a) and 5(d) below and any required filings regarding the issuance or listing of additional
securities with The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “SEHK”) or the New York Stock
Exchange (the “NYSE”). This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents when duly executed and
delivered by the Company constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganisation, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting
generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

          (c) Issuance of Securities. The Securities are duly authorised and, when issued and
paid for in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be validly issued and free from all preemptive
or similar rights, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue
thereof. The Convertible
Preferred Shares issued or to be issued under this Agreement and upon the exercise of the Warrants
shall be fully paid with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of the
Convertible Preferred Shares. Assuming the accuracy of each of the representations and warranties
set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, the offer and issuance by the Company of the Securities
is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act.

          (d) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction
Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Securities) will not (i)
result in a violation of the Articles, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event
which with notice of lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any
rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or
instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) subject to the
terms of this Agreement, result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or
decree (including the Hong Kong Codes on Takeovers and Mergers, foreign, U.S. federal and state
securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of the SEHK or of the NYSE
applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries is bound or affected), except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such

- 9 -

 

conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

          (e) No Consents or Approvals. Save as otherwise disclosed to the Investor in the
disclosure letter from the Company to the Investor dated the date hereof (the “Disclosure Letter”),
the Company is not required to obtain any consent, approval, authorisation or order of, or make any
filing or registration with or give prior notification to (i) any court, Governmental Entity or any
regulatory or self-regulatory agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its
obligations under or contemplated by the Transaction Documents or (ii) any third party pursuant to
any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party
(except for such requirements in either (i) or (ii) above the non-fulfilment of which would not
result in a Material Adverse Effect), in each case in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof
other than such as have been made or obtained, and except for the filings or notifications in
connection with the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5(a) and 5(b) below and any
required filings or notifications regarding the issuance or listing of additional securities with
the SEHK or the NYSE or such consents as will be obtained by the Company on or before Closing. The
Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that might prevent the Company from
obtaining or effecting any of the filings or notifications described in the preceding sentence. The
Company is not in violation of the listing requirements of the SEHK or the NYSE and has no
knowledge of any facts that would reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of its Common Shares
from the SEHK or of its American depository receipts from the NYSE in the foreseeable future, apart
from such suspension from SEHK and/or NYSE in connection with or resulting from the entering into
of this Agreement or the Country Hill Agreement. As used herein, “knowledge” shall mean actual
knowledge of the executive officers (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) of the Company
after due inquiry.

          (f) No Directed Selling Efforts. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates or any
other person acting on its or their behalf has engaged or will engage in any directed selling
efforts within the meaning of Regulation S under the 1933 Act, as amended, and all such persons
have complied with the offering requirements of Regulation S under the 1933 Act.

          (g) Foreign Private Issuer. The Company is a “foreign private issuer” (as such term
is defined in the rules and regulations under the 1933 Act and the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (“1934 Act”), as amended).

          (h) No General Solicitation; Agent. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates,
nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or
general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with, the offer or sale of
the Securities. The Company acknowledges that it has engaged Bank of America Merrill Lynch as
financial advisor (the “Agent”) in connection with the issue of the Securities. Other than the
Agent, no Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Company or the Investor for any
commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with
a placement agent entered into by or on behalf of the Company.

- 10 -

 

          (i) No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Investor’s
representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 hereof, none of the Company, any of its
affiliates, or any Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or
sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would
require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act, whether through
integration with prior offerings or otherwise, or cause the offering of Securities hereunder to
require approval of shareholders of the Company for purposes of any applicable shareholder
approval provisions (except those set out in Section 5(a) below and those necessary for the
completion of the conditions in Section 5(d) below), including, without limitation, under the
rules and regulations of the SEHK and the NYSE. None of the Company, their affiliates and any
Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps referred to in the preceding sentence
that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or
cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings for purposes of any
such applicable shareholder approval provisions.

          (j) Public Documents. The Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms,
statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting
requirements of the 1934 Act or with the SEHK and has timely issued all announcements, returns,
notices, financial statements and circulars required to be issued by it by the SEHK or the NYSE
(all of the foregoing filed or announced prior to the date of this
Agreement and all exhibits
included therein and financial statements, notes and schedules thereto and documents and
incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter referred to as the “Public Documents”). As of
their respective filing or issuance dates, the Public Documents complied in all material respects
with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated
thereunder and the rules and regulations of the SEHK and the NYSE, as applicable, to the respective
Public Documents, and, other than as corrected or clarified in a subsequent Public Document, none
of the Public Documents, at the time they were filed or issued, contained any untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.

          (k) Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements (including any related
notes thereto) included or incorporated by reference in the Public Documents fairly presented in
all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries as of the dates indicated therein and the consolidated results of their operations for
the periods specified therein, other than as corrected or clarified in a subsequent Public
Document. Such financial statements were prepared in material conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applied on a materially consistent
basis (except as may be noted therein). The financial statements of the Company as of and for the
year ended 31 December, 2010 included in the Public Documents are hereinafter referred to as the
“Results”. Since 31 December, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries do not have any material
liabilities or obligations required under GAAP to be set forth on a consolidated balance sheet
(accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise), other than (i) liabilities or obligations that would
not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
and (ii) liabilities incurred since 31 December, 2010 in the

- 11 -

 

ordinary course of business consistent with past practices and any liabilities incurred
pursuant to this Agreement.

          (1)
Internal Controls and Procedures. The Company maintains disclosure controls and
procedures as such terms are defined in, and required by,
Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 under the 1934
Act. Such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that all material information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or furnishes under the 1934
Act is recorded, processed, summarised and reported within the time periods specified in the rules
and forms of the SEC. The Company maintains a system of internal controls over financial reporting
sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with
management’s general or specific authorisations; and (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The Company’s management has
completed an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s
system of internal controls over
financial reporting for the fiscal year ended 31 December, 2010 in compliance with the requirements
of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and such assessment concluded that such controls were
effective and the Company’s independent registered accountant has issued (and not subsequently
withdrawn or qualified) an attestation report concluding that the Company maintained effective
internal control over financial reporting as of 31 December, 2010. As of the date hereof, to the
knowledge of the Company, there is no reason that its chief executive officer and chief financial
officer will not be able to give the certifications and attestations
required pursuant to the rules
and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, without
qualification, when next due.

          (m) No Material Adverse Effect. Since 31 December, 2010, no event or circumstance has
occurred that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has taken any steps to
seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy law nor does the Company have any knowledge or reason
to believe that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any fact
which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so.

          (n) Litigation. Save as disclosed in the Disclosure Letter, there are no claims,
suits, investigation, actions or proceedings pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened
against the Company or any of its subsidiaries or, to the best of the knowledge of the Company,
any of their respective directors, officers, employees (such employees performing managerial
functions in departments of the Company concerning research and development, manufacturing, finance
and marketing) or properties before any court, governmental department, commission, agency,
instrumentality or authority, or any arbitrator that seeks to restrain or enjoin the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or which could reasonably be expected, to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. No existing facts or developments
related to the Company’s pending litigation, taken as a whole,
have been omitted from the Public
Documents that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (it being understood
that this representation and warranty shall not be taken as a
guarantee as to the outcome of such
litigation).

- 12 -

 

          (o) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Save as disclosed in the Disclosure Letter,
to the best of the knowledge of the Company, the Company and each of its subsidiaries have
conducted their businesses in compliance with all applicable federal, state and foreign laws,
regulations and applicable stock exchange requirements, except where the failure to be in
compliance could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect. The Company will use its best efforts to maintain its corporate existence and
conduct its business in compliance in all respects with all applicable laws, regulations and rules
so as not to cause a Material Adverse Effect to occur on the Company.

     Save as disclosed in the Disclosure Letter, the Company and each of its subsidiaries have all
permits, licenses, authorisations, orders and approvals of, and have made all filings,
applications and registrations with, any Governmental Entities that are required in order to carry
on their business as presently conducted, except where the failure to have such permits, licenses,
authorisations, orders and approvals or the failure to make such filings, applications and
registrations, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect; and all such permits, licenses, certificates of authority, orders and
approvals are in full force and effect and, to the knowledge of the Company, no suspension or
cancellation of any of them is threatened, and all such filings, applications and registrations
are current, except where such absence, suspension or cancellation, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (p) Equity Capitalisation. As of 31 March, 2011, the authorised share capital
 of the Company consists of (A) 50,000,000,000 Common Shares, of which as of such date;
27,396,956,059 shares are issued, (as at 31 March, 2011, 1,340,050,102 shares may be issued
pursuant to the Company’s employee incentive plan, and 488,730 and 759,521,230 shares may be issued
pursuant to outstanding warrants held by ZXZY Inc. and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company
Ltd., respectively) and no agreement or commitment outstanding which calls for the allotment or
issue or accords to any person the right to call for the allotment or issue of any shares (including
shares issued pursuant to securities exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, or
agreements relating to the issuance of Common Shares), and (B) 5,000,000,000 Preferred Shares, of
which none are issued. All of such issued shares have been validly issued and are fully paid. Save
as disclosed in the Disclosure Letter and other than those set out above and pursuant to this
Agreement, the Warrant Agreement or the Country Hill Agreement (including the warrant agreement
therein) to subscribe for securities in the Company, there are no outstanding
securities issued by the Company or its subsidiaries (including shares issuable pursuant to
securities exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, or agreements related to the
issuance of Common Shares or preferred shares (together, “Shares”)), or warrants, rights or options
to purchase Shares from the Company or its subsidiaries, nor are there any agreement, arrangement
or commitment outstanding which calls for the allotment or issue or accords to any person the right
to call for the allotment or issue of any Shares (including Shares issuable pursuant to securities
exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, or agreements relating to the issuance of
Shares).

- 13 -

 

     The Company, on or prior to the Closing Date, will have, and undertakes thereafter to use
its best efforts to keep from time to time, sufficient authorised share capital to satisfy the
issue of (i) the Initial Convertible Preferred Shares and the Convertible Preferred Shares issuable
under the Warrants, (ii) such number of new Common Shares as would be required to be issued on
conversion in full of the Initial Convertible Preferred Shares and the Convertible Preferred Shares
issuable under the Warrants (subject to adjustment to the conversion rate pursuant to the rights of
the Convertible Preferred Shares as set out in Schedule A); (iii) subject to compliance with
applicable laws and regulations (including without limitation the rules of the SEHK in respect of
shareholders’ approval), such additional Convertible Preferred Shares (the “Additional Convertible
Preferred Shares”) pursuant to Section 4(i) below and such number of new Common Shares as would be
required to be issued on conversion in full of the Additional Convertible Preferred Shares; and
(iv) subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations (including without limitation the
rules of the SEHK in respect of shareholders’ approval), such number of Relevant Securities (as
defined in Section 4(i)(i) below) pursuant to Section 4(i) below.

     (q) Information provided. All information given in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement by the Company or on its behalf by the Company’s advisers, to the
Investor or the Investor’s advisers, relating to the Company, its subsidiaries or their respective
business, activities, affairs, or assets or liabilities (including all documents attached thereto)
was, when given, and is now accurate in all material respects and not misleading in any material
respect, and there is no material omission that would render the information given misleading in
any material respect, provided that nothing herein shall constitute any obligation on the Company
to disclose any information over and above what is required to be disclosed by the Company under
the requirements of applicable laws and regulations (including, but not limited to, The Rules
Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Hong Kong
Listing Rules”) or requirements of regulatory bodies (including, but not limited to the SEHK and
the SEC).

     (r) Ownership of assets. Save as disclosed in the Disclosure Letter, as may be
updated by the Company in writing prior to Closing, so far as the Company is aware, there are no
mortgages, charges, pledges, liens (other than liens arising in the ordinary course of trading)
or other forms of security or encumbrances, over or affecting the whole or any part of the
material assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Other than as disclosed, the Company
and its subsidiaries have title to all properties and to all assets necessary to conduct the
business now operated by them in each case few from liens, encumbrances and title defects that
would materially affect the value thereof or materially interfere with the use made or to be made
thereof by them and any real property or building held under lease by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries are held by it under valid, existing and enforceable leases, in each case except to
the extent that any failure of the above would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (s) Intellectual Property. To the knowledge of the Company, the Company owns or
possesses sufficient legal rights including but not limited to trade secrets, licenses, trade
mark, confidential information and proprietary rights and manufacturing processes and all
copyrights, mask work rights, all patents and patent rights, as are necessary to the conduct of

now conducted or presently proposed to be conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries, including
but not limited to the manufacturing of such products of 0.13um, 45nm, 90nm, and/or 65nm processes
(or as presently proposed to be conducted on products) by the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
without any known conflict with, or known infringement of, the rights of others except as would
not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
To the knowledge of the Company, no products manufactured, marketed or sold (or products proposed
to be manufactured, marketed or sold) by the Company or any of its subsidiaries violates any
license or infringes any intellectual property rights of any other party which could reasonably be
expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Notwithstanding the
definition of “knowledge,” the Company has not, nor shall the definition of “knowledge” be
interpreted to require an analysis of the Company’s freedom to operate in a particular field with
respect to ownership and use of intellectual property rights.

     (t) United States Export Control. The Company is in compliance with, and undertakes
to use its reasonable endeavours to comply with, all applicable laws, regulations, practices,
policies, rules and any other governmental requirements of the United States and other countries

tax returns that are required to be filed in all jurisdictions or has duly requested extensions
thereof and has paid all taxes required to be paid by any of them in all jurisdictions and any
related assessments, fines or penalties, except for any such tax, assessment, fine or penalty that
is being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to file or
make payment would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Adequate
charges, accruals and reserves have been provided for in the Results referred to in Section 3A(k)
in respect of all taxes for all periods as to which the tax liability of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries has not been finally determined or remains open to examination by an applicable taxing
authority.

wastes, pollutants or contaminants (the “Environmental Laws”), (ii) have received all permits,
licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their
respective businesses and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such
permit, license or approval, except where such non-compliance with Environmental Laws, failure to
receive required permits, licenses or other approvals or failure to comply with the terms and
conditions of such permits, licenses or approvals would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

     (w) Foreign Corrupt Practices. To the best of the knowledge of the Company, no member
of the Group nor any director, officer, agent, employee (such agent or employee acting under the
direction of the Company) or Affiliate of any member of the Group, has, directly or indirectly,

acceptances in
respect of voting rights in the Company which, together with voting rights acquired
or agreed to be acquired before or during the offer, will result in the offeror and
any person acting in concert with it holding more than 50% (or such other percentage
level as contained in the terms of such offer or as otherwise required from time to
time in the Hong Kong Takeovers Code) of the voting rights in the Company), or where
the offeror has become entitled to compulsorily acquire the securities held by the
Investor (and/or the Permitted Transferee) under applicable laws and regulations.

or indirectly through any subsidiary or affiliate, semiconductor wafer fabrication or foundry

	 	(A)	 	the Investor shall inform the Company in
writing of the proposed Transfer to the Permitted Transferee before
effecting it;
	 
	 	(B)	 	the Permitted Transferee shall furnish the
Company with a written agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to
the Company:

- 18 -

 

	 	(1)	 	agreeing, as if the Permitted Transferee was a party to the
Transaction Documents, to be bound by the obligations under the

2(k), and agree to the provisions set forth in Section 9
(except that references to the “Investor” shall be replaced
with references to the “Permitted Transferee”); and
	 
	 	(3)	 	without prejudice to the rights
of the Investor under this Agreement (which rights shall remain
with the Investor not withstanding the Disposal to the
Permitted Transferee), acknowledging that the Permitted
Transferee shall not have any right or understanding or
arrangement (whether formal or informal) to exercise any other

under any applicable laws;

	 	(C)	 	the Permitted Transferee shall be entitled to
further transfer the Securities to another Permitted Transferee during

provision relating to transfer to “Permitted Transferee” in Section
4(e) shall not have been complied with).

     (f) Public Disclosure. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, the
Company and Investor (and to the extent any Securities are Transferred to the Permitted Transferee
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(e), the Permitted Transferee), to the extent
permitted by applicable law, will consult with each other before issuance, and provide each other
the opportunity to review, comment upon and concur with, and use all reasonable efforts to agree on
any press release or public statement with respect to this Agreement, the Warrant Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereunder, and will not (to the extent practicable) issue any such press
release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation and agreement, except as may be required by law, rules, regulations or any listing agreement with or requirement of the NYSE,
SEHK or any other applicable securities exchange, provided that the disclosing party shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, rules, regulations or any listing agreement with or requirement
of the NYSE, SEHK or any other applicable securities exchange and if reasonably practicable, inform
the other parties about the disclosure to be made pursuant to such requirements prior to the
disclosure.

- 19 -

 

     (g) Conduct of Business. Save as disclosed in this Agreement or any public
disclosure made by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement, or consented in writing by
the Investor, during the period from the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier
of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof or the Closing, the Company
shall and shall cause its subsidiaries to, except as expressly permitted by the terms of this
Agreement or disclosed in any public disclosure made by the Company prior to the date of this
Agreement, carry on its business, in all material respects, in the ordinary and normal course
and, not (i) undertake any construction of any new plants and buildings, (ii) enter into any
notifiable transactions (as such term is defined under the Hong Kong Listing Rules); (iii) save
as required by applicable laws, rules or regulations, make or propose to make any amendments to
its memorandum or articles of association or (iv) agree to, either verbally or in writing,
authorise or approve any of the foregoing.

     For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may continue to be involved in the existing
construction of plants and buildings, as the Board may consider appropriate from time to time.

     (h) Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds received from the issue of
the Securities hereunder for the purpose of capital expenditure and debt repayment.

     (i) Pre-emptive Rights.

          (i) If the Company proposes, on or after the date of this Agreement, to issue (the
“Proposed Issue”) (a) any new Common Shares or preferred shares, (b) any securities
convertible into or exchangeable into Common Shares or preferred shares (which
preferred shares referred to in (a) and (b) above carry voting rights in general
meetings of the Company) or (c) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for Common
Shares or preferred shares (which preferred shares carry voting rights in general
meetings of the Company) (“Relevant Securities”), the Company shall notify the
Investor in writing of such proposal (an “Issue Notice”). The Issue Notice shall
specify the number and type of Relevant Securities to be offered by the Company and
the material terms of the proposed offer (including the proposed completion date of
such issue and the proposed price per Relevant Security to be paid by the proposed
third party purchaser(s)).

          (ii) (1) Subject to sub-paragraph (viii) below, the Investor shall have the right but not the
obligation, at its option, to subscribe for whilst any Investor Convertible Preferred Shares
issued to and beneficially held by the Investor (and/or the Permitted Transferee) remain
unconverted, and to the extent that the percentage (the “Original Percentage”) of the issued share
capital of the Company held by the Investor on a fully-diluted basis through such Investor
Convertible Preferred Shares immediately prior to the Proposed Issue is reduced as a result of the
issue of the Relevant Securities (having taken into account the adjustment (the “Resulting
Adjustment”) to the conversion rate of the Convertible Preferred Shares as a result of the
issuance of the Relevant Securities in accordance with Schedule A), such number of Additional
Convertible Preferred Shares (bearing the same conversion rate as the existing issued Convertible
Preferred Shares having reflected the Resulting Adjustment) so as to enable the Investor to hold,
after the issue of the Relevant Securities, a pro rata portion of the issued share capital of the
Company (on a fully-diluted basis) equal to the Original Percentage. For the purpose of this
paragraph, the Warrants and any Convertible Preferred Shares issuable thereunder shall be
disregarded to the

- 20 -

 

extent that the Warrants have not been exercised and Convertible Preferred Shares have not
been issued thereunder.

                (2) to the extent that any of the Investor Convertible Preferred Shares have been converted
and the Investor is holding Common Shares issued as a result of the said conversion (the “Converted
Common Shares”), such number of additional Relevant Securities so as to enable the Investor to
hold, after the issue of the Relevant Securities, a pro rata portion of the Relevant Securities
equal to the percentage of the issued share capital of the Company represented by the Converted
Common Shares then beneficially owned by the Investor immediately prior to the issuance of the
Relevant Securities,

by giving written notice to the Company of the exercise of this right within ten (10) Business
Days (as defined below) of the giving of the Issue Notice. If such notice is not given by the
Investor within such ten (10) Business Days, the Investor shall be deemed to have elected not to
exercise its rights under this Section 4(i)(ii) with respect to the issuance described in that
specific Issue Notice. The parties acknowledge that any rights of the Investor to subscribe for
pursuant to this Section 4(i)(ii) will lapse if completion thereof does not occur simultaneously
with the completion of the issue of Relevant Securities by the Company to third party
purchaser(s) or at such other time and place as shall be mutually agreed by the Company and the
Investor (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld), provided that if the reason for the
Investor’s failure to complete by the time specified above is solely due to a delay of the
Governmental Entity in granting the relevant authorisations, approvals, permits, qualifications or
exemptions, the Investor shall notify the Company in writing at least seven (7) days prior to the
completion of the issue of the Relevant Securities to extend the completion date for the
Investor’s subscription to a date within three (3) months or such other reasonable period as may
be mutually agreed between the parties following the completion of the issue of the Relevant
Securities, after such period the right of the Investor to subscribe for securities pursuant to
this Section 4(i)(ii) shall lapse. A notice given by the Investor pursuant to this section shall

the provisions of this Section 4(i) by unanimous vote or unanimous written consent of the Board.

          (vii) The rights set forth in this Section 4(i) shall not apply with respect to and shall
expire immediately prior to a transaction that would result in a change of control (as such term
is defined under the Hong Kong Takeovers Code).

the People’s Republic of China.

          (viii) The Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that the Investor’s exercise of the

regulations, laws and requirements of applicable government and regulatory bodies, including the
Hong Kong Listing Rules, the Hong Kong Takeovers Code, the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and

necessary to give effect to the rights contained in this Section 4(i) in compliance with rules,
regulations, laws and requirements of applicable government and regulatory bodies, provided that

the other potential investor(s) with respect to the issuance described in the relevant Issue
Notice.

          (ix) The Investor agrees that, to the extent that its percentage holding of the issued share
capital of the Company is represented by the Investor Convertible Preferred Shares or Converted
Common Shares, such percentage holding shall be excluded and ignored for the purpose of
determining the number of securities that the Investor is able to acquire pursuant to Section 4(m)
of the 2008 Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Investor agrees that the Warrants, any
Convertible Preferred Shares issuable thereunder and any Converted Common Share issuable
thereunder shall also be excluded and ignored for the purpose of determining the number of
securities that the Investor is able to acquire pursuant to Section 4(m) of the 2008 Agreement.

          (j) Discussion. Subject to applicable law, rules, regulations and requirements
(including the Hong Kong Listing Rules and the requirements of the SEHK and NYSE), during the
period from the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof or the Closing, the Company will use its reasonable
efforts to meet with, and/or communicate with representatives of the Investor upon reasonable request and to discuss any material operational matters in good faith and to consider whether and
how to exercise its discretion to implement any reasonable suggestions from the Investor.

The rights and restrictions to be attached to the convertible preferred shares of par value
US$0.0004 each of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (the “Company”) (the
“Convertible Preferred Shares”) are set out below.

	1.	 	Ranking and dividend entitlements

	 	 	The Convertible Preferred Shares shall rank pari passu with the claims of holders of (i)
any class of preferred share capital of the Company and (ii) any other obligations of the
Company which rank pari passu with the Convertible Preferred Shares.

	 	 	The Convertible Preferred Shares shall rank pari passu in respect of entitlement to
dividends and other income distribution as ordinary shares of the Company (“Common Shares”)
as if the Convertible Preferred Shares had been converted into Common Shares pursuant to
the terms hereof for the relevant accounting period.

	2.	 	Capital

	2.1	 	On a liquidation, dissolution, winding up (whether voluntary or involuntary) or return or
reduction of capital of the Company (but not on conversion of the Convertible Preferred Shares
or any repurchases by the Company of any Convertible Preferred Shares or Common Shares) the
assets of the Company available for distribution among the members shall be applied first in
paying to the holders of the Convertible Preferred Shares and holders of other preference
shares of the Company an amount in repayment of capital equal to the amount paid up or
credited as paid up on such shares in priority to:

	 	(A)	 	any payment to the holders of Common Shares; and
	 
	 	(B)	 	any other obligations ranking pari passu with the claims of the holders
of Common Shares.

	2.2	 	For the purpose of determining the value of any distribution pursuant to this paragraph 2,
the value of any asset or property distributed shall be computed at fair market value at the
time of the distribution as determined by the board of directors of the Company in the good
faith exercise of its reasonable business judgment.

	3.	 	Conversion

	3.1	 	Conversion right

	 	 	The holders of the Convertible Preferred Shares shall have the right exercisable, subject
as provided in paragraph 3.3 below, at any time to convert (in whole or in part) their
Convertible Preferred Shares into fully paid Common Shares at the Conversion Rate (as
defined below). The holders of the Convertible Preferred Shares are not required to pay any
amount for conversion of their Convertible Preferred Shares into Common Shares. The Common
Shares issued upon conversion shall be credited as fully paid, shall rank pari passu in all
respects with the other Common Shares in issue as at the date of the conversion, and shall
be allotted and issued free from all liens,

 

 

 2 

	 	 	charges and encumbrances and together with all rights attaching thereto upon allotment and issue
and at any time thereafter, including all rights to any dividend or other distribution declared,
made or payable by reference to a record date falling on or after the date on which the Convertible
Preferred Shares are converted into Common Shares in accordance with paragraph 3.3 below).

	 	 	“Conversion Rate” means the number of Common Share(s) into which each Convertible Preferred Share
is converted upon conversion, which initially is ten Common Share per Convertible Preferred Share
(subject to adjustment(s) as provided in the other provisions of this paragraph 3).

	3.2	 	Conversion
	 
	 	 	The Convertible Preferred Shares shall be mandatorily converted into Common Shares at the then
applicable Conversion Rate on the day immediately following the expiry of twelve months commencing
from the closing date of the Country Hill Agreement (the
“Country Hill Agreement”) dated 18 April
2011 between the Company the Country Hill Limited (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”) as if the
holder of the Convertible Preferred Shares has elected to convert its Convertible Preferred Shares
into Common Shares on the Mandatory Conversion Date. The holder of Convertible Preferred Shares
shall deliver to the Company certificate(s) evidencing its holding of Convertible Preferred Shares
on the Mandatory Conversion Date.
	 
	 	 	For the avoidance of doubt, any holder of Convertible Preferred Share(s) may, at any time on or
before the Mandatory Conversion Date, elect solely at its option to convert its Convertible
Preferred Shares (in whole or in part) outstanding into Common Shares at the then applicable
Conversion Rate.

	3.3	 	Exercise

	 	(A)	 	Any holder of the Convertible Preferred Shares which wishes to convert its Convertible
Preferred Shares pursuant to paragraph 3.1 above shall deliver to the Company at its principal
place of business in Hong Kong a written notice (the “Conversion Notice”) that it elects to
convert such number of Convertible Preferred Shares as specified in the Conversion Notice
(which shall be for a minimum amount of 70,000,000 Convertible Preferred Shares or, if less
than 70,000,000 Convertible Preferred Shares are then held by the Investor, all of such
Convertible Preferred Shares) together with the certificate(s) evidencing the Convertible
Preferred Shares to be converted.
	 
	 	(B)	 	The Company shall, not later than 10 Business Days after the date of receipt of the
Conversion Notice (or, as the case may be, the Mandatory Conversion Date);

	 	(i)	 	either:

	 	(a)	 	issue and deliver to the relevant holder of the Convertible Preferred
Shares or its nominee(s) certificate(s) for the number

 

3

	 	 	 	of Common Shares into which the Convertible Preferred Shares are
converted in the name as shown on the certificate(s) evidencing
the Convertible Preferred Shares so surrendered to the Company; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	at the request of the relevant holder of the Convertible
Preferred Shares, cause to be credited into its or its nominee’s
brokers’ account, details of which will be set out in the
Conversion Notice, such number of Common Shares into which the
Convertible Preferred Shares are converted; and

	 	(ii)	 	enter such holder of Convertible Preferred Shares (or
its nominee(s)) in its register of shareholders in respect of the relevant
number of Common Shares arising from such conversion, and the Convertible
Preferred Shares which have been converted into Common Shares shall be treated
as cancelled.

	 	 	 	“Business Day” in this document shall mean a day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or
a public holiday in Hong Kong or the People’s Republic of China.

	 	(C)	 	The Company shall be responsible for, and shall pay directly to the relevant
authorities, all taxes (if any), costs and expenses payable on its part and for its
own account arising from any conversion.

	3.4	 	Fractional Shares
	 
	 	 	No fraction of a Common Share shall be issued upon the conversion of Convertible Preferred
Shares. If the number of Common Shares as calculated by reference to the applicable
Conversion Rate would carry a fractional number of a Common Share, it will be rounded
downwards to the nearest whole number. For the avoidance of doubt, such rounding applies
only to the calculation of the number of Common Shares issuable upon each conversion, after
the applicable Conversion Rate is determined in accordance with the other provisions of
this paragraph 3. Such fractional entitlement shall be deemed to have been waived by the
holder of the Convertible Preferred Shares and any sum paid in respect of such subscription
shall be retained by the Company for its own benefit.

	3.5	 	Methods of Conversion
	 
	 	 	Conversion of the Convertible Preference Shares may be effected in such manner as the law
may allow.

	3.6	 	Adjustments
	 
	 	 	Without prejudice to paragraph 3.6(E) below, from 18 April 2011, if any Convertible
Preference Shares are issued and whilst any of them remains capable of being
converted into Common Shares:

 

4

	 	(A)	 	Capitalisation issues, consolidations, sub-divisions and re-classifications
	 
	 	 	 	Upon any allotment of fully paid Common Shares pursuant to a capitalisation of profits or reserves
to any holders of Common Shares, any consolidation into a smaller number of issued Common Shares,
any sub-division into a greater number of issued Common Shares or any re-classification or other
corporate exercise whereby the Commons Shares become of a different nominal amount, the Conversion
Rate shall be adjusted (rounded upwards to the nearest 0.0001) so that the number of Common Shares
to be issued in respect of the Convertible Preferred Shares converted on any date on or following
the record date for such allotment, consolidation, sub-division, re-classification or the relevant
corporate exercise shall be the number which the converting holder of the Convertible Preferred
Shares would have been entitled after such event had its Convertible Preferred Shares been
converted immediately prior to the relevant record date. Each such adjustment shall become
effective, in the case of a capitalisation issue, from the commencement of the day next following
the date of such capitalisation issue, and in any other case, from the day immediately after the
date on which the relevant corporate exercise becomes effective.
	 
	 	(B)	 	Capital distributions
	 
	 	 	 	Upon any capital distribution by the Company to holders of Common Shares, whether on a reduction or
redemption of capital or otherwise, or any grant by the Company to holders of Common Shares any
right to acquire cash asset(s) of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries, in each case only if
(i) the distribution or right is not made or granted to the holder of the Convertible Preferred
Shares and (ii) paragraph 3.6(C) and paragraph 3.6(D) does not apply, the Conversion Rate in force
immediately before such capital distribution or grant shall be adjusted (rounded upwards to the
nearest 0.0001) by multiplying it by the following ratio/fraction:

	 	 	 	 	 

	 

	 	X
 

X-Y
	 	 

	 	 	 	where:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

	 

	 	X
	 	=
	 	the Prevailing Market Price (as defined below) applicable to the
date on which the capital distribution or the grant of right, as the case may
be, is publicly announced or (where no such announcement is required to be made
under the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of
Hong Kong Limited (the “Hong Kong Listing Rules”)) the date next preceding the
record date of the capital distribution or the grant, as the case may be; and
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Y
	 	=
	 	the fair market value on the day of the announcement or (where
no such announcement is required to be made under the Hong

 

5

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

	 

	 	 	 	 	 	Kong Listing Rules) the date next preceding the date of the capital
distribution or the grant, as the case may be, as determined in good faith by
the auditors of the Company, of the portion of such capital distribution or
such right to the grant, as the case may be, which is attributable to one
Common Share,

	 	 	 	provided that:

	 	(i)	 	if 75% of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Shares disagrees with
the calculation by the Company of Y above, such holders shall have the right to appoint
an independent financial adviser acting as an expert (and not as an arbitrator), at the
cost of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Shares, for the purpose of calculating Y
above; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the provisions of this sub-paragraph shall not apply in relation to any issue of
Common Shares paid out of profits or reserves and issued in lieu of a cash dividend, nor to
any purchase by the Company of its own Common Shares in accordance with applicable laws,
regulations and rules; and

	 	 	 	“Capital distribution” includes, without prejudice to the generality of that expression,
distributions in cash or specie. Any dividend charged or provided for in the accounts for any
financial period, whenever paid and however described, is considered a capital distribution;
	 
	 	 	 	“Prevailing Market Price” means in respect of the Common Shares on a particular date, the average
closing price for a Common Share as shown on the Daily Quotations List of The Stock Exchange of
Hong Kong for the five consecutive Trading Days immediately before (and excluding) that date;
	 
	 	 	 	“Trading Day” means a day on which Common Shares are traded on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong
Limited,
	 
	 	 	 	with each such adjustment becoming effective from the commencement of the day next following the
date of the capital distribution or the grant, as the case may be.
	 
	 	(C)	 	Issues of shares or other securities
	 
	 	 	 	Upon any issue by the Company of any Common Share, or any issue of any securities, which by their
terms are convertible into or exchangeable for, or carry right(s) of subscription for, any Common
Share, the Conversion Rate in force immediately before such issue shall be adjusted (rounded
upwards to the nearest 0.0001) by multiplying it by the following ratio/fraction:

 

6

	 	 	 	 	 

	 

	 	Reference Price per Common Share
 

Adjusted Price per Common Share
	 	 

	 	 	 	where:
	 
	 	 	 	“Reference Price per Common Share” is

	 	(i)	 	HK$0.5390, representing a discount of 10% to the arithmetic average of the daily volume
weighted average price for a Common Share as shown on the VAP page of Bloomberg for the 5
consecutive Trading Days immediately before (and excluding) 18 April 2011, rounded downwards to the
nearest HK$0.0001 (the “Initial Reference Price”); or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	If the Conversion Rate had been adjusted in accordance with this paragraph 3.6 prior
to the issue of securities giving rise to the adjustment hereunder, the latest conversion
price arrived at by dividing the Initial Reference Price by the prevailing Conversion Rate
immediately before the issue of securities giving rise to the adjustment hereunder; and

	 	 	 	“Adjusted Price per Common Share” is the amount which is the lowest of:

	 	(i)	 	the Reference Price per Common Share;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the amount which represents:

	 	(a)	 	in respect of any rights issue of Common Shares by the Company, 90% of
the relevant theoretical ex-rights price for a Common Share under that rights issue;
	 
	 	(b)	 	in respect of any issue of securities which by their terms are
convertible into or exchangeable for, or carry right(s) of subscription for, Common
Share(s):

	 	(1)	 	in the case of options, warrants or similar
instruments, the aggregate of the subscription price or premium for such
instrument and the initial exercise price at which the holder of such
instrument may subscribe for Common Shares;
	 
	 	(2)	 	in the case of convertible bonds or convertible shares or similar instruments, the initial conversion price at which such
instrument may be converted into Common Shares; or

 

7

	 	(3)	 	in any other case, the aggregate price paid and initially
payable by the subscriber of such securities in order to receive Common
Shares;

	 	(c)	 	in respect of any other issue of Common Shares by the
Company, the relevant issue price for a Common Share under that issue; and

	 	(iii)	 	the amount which represents a discount of 10% to the arithmetic average of the daily volume
weighted average price for a Common Share as shown on the VAP page of Bloomberg for the:

	 	(a)	 	ten consecutive Trading Days immediately after the date on which the relevant
issue is announced;
	 
	 	(b)	 	in the case of a rights issue, ten consecutive Trading Days immediately
after the ex-rights date; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	if the reference price to determine the issue price is based on share prices
for a period after the relevant issue is announced, all the Trading Days during that
period,

	 	 	 	with each such adjustment becoming effective from commencement of the day immediately following the
date of such issuance.
	 
	 	 	 	For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made if the securities
issued are not Common Shares and not convertible into Common Shares.

	 	(D)	 	New class of shares carrying voting rights

	 	 	 	Upon the issue of any new class of shares which is not Common Shares and is not convertible into
Common Shares, but which carries any right to vote in general meetings of shareholders of the
Company (“Extraordinary Shares”), or any issue of any securities, which by their terms are
convertible into or exchangeable for, or carry right(s) of subscription for, any Extraordinary
Share, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Rate in force
immediately before the issue by the following fraction:

	 	 	 	 	 

	 

	 	Y+Z
 

Y
	 	 

	 	 	 	where:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

	 

	 	Y
	 	=
	 	the aggregate number of voting rights in the Company immediately prior to the relevant
issuance of Extraordinary Shares

 

8

	 	Z	 = 	 the aggregate number of voting rights attaching to the
relevant issuance on a fully diluted and as converted basis

	 	 	 	Each such adjustment shall become effective from commencement of the day immediately
following the date of the issuance of the Extraordinary Shares.
	 
	 	(E)	 	If any of the events referred to in sub-paragraphs (A) to (D) above is agreed to be made or
is announced, or otherwise takes place, during the period from (and including) the Business
Day immediately before 18 April 2011 to the closing date of the Country Hill Agreement (the
“Closing Date”), the provisions of those sub-paragraphs (A) to (D) above shall apply mutandis
mutatis, and the Conversion Rate shall accordingly be adjusted such that the adjustment will
take effect from: (i) the effective date as provided for under such relevant sub-paragraph
(A), (B) (C) or (D) above; or (ii) the Closing Date, whichever is later. Similarly, if any of
the events referred to in sub-paragraphs (A) to (D) above is agreed to be made or is
announced, albeit not completed, by the Mandatory Conversion Date, which subsequently
completes or becomes effective following the Mandatory Conversion Date, the provisions of
those sub-paragraphs (A) to (D) above shall likewise apply mutatis mutandis, and the
Conversion Rate shall accordingly be adjusted after the Mandatory Conversion Date on the day
following the completion of the above event or its becoming effective, such that the
adjustment will take effect from the day immediately before the Mandatory Conversion Date as
if such relevant event were completed on such date (pursuant to which the Company shall issue
to the holder of the Convertible Preferred Shares such additional Common Shares arising as a
result of the said adjustment within 10 Business Days after such adjustment), provided that
this adjustment shall not apply to the case where, after such conversion, the holder of the
Convertible Preferred Shares converted is able to participate or benefit from the event as a
holder of Common Shares.
	 
	 	(F)	 	The provisions of this paragraph 3.6 shall not apply to:

	 	(i)	 	an issue of fully paid Common Shares upon the exercise of any
subscription or conversion rights attached to securities carrying rights to
subscribe for or convertible into Common Shares that exist before 18 April 2011
(including but not limited to the warrants issued to Taiwan Semiconductor
Manufacturing Corporation); and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	an issue of fully paid Common Shares or other securities convertible into
Common Shares to the directors or employees of the Company or other eligible persons
pursuant to an employee share option scheme or share incentivisation scheme adopted by
the Company in accordance and in compliance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

	 	(G)	 	Despite any other provisions of this paragraph 3, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall
be made which has the effect or result of: (i) reducing the initial Conversion Rate upon the
issue of the Convertible Preference Shares, except upon any consolidation of Common Shares or
any corporate exercise

 

9

	 	 	 	with the effect of increasing the nominal value of the Common Shares as
mentioned under sub-paragraph (A) above; or (ii) any Common Share, upon conversion,
falling to be issued at a price below the nominal value of the Common Share.
	 
	 	(H)	 	The Company shall immediately upon determination of any adjustment hereunder give
notice to the holders of the Convertible Preferred Shares that the Conversion Rate has been
adjusted (setting forth the Conversion Rate immediately before the adjustment, the adjusted
Conversion Rate and the event giving rise to the adjustment).
	 
	 	(I)	 	Every adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be certified in writing by any
officer of the Company.

	4.	 	Voting
	 
	 	 	The Convertible Preferred Shares shall entitle the holders thereof to receive notice of,
attend and vote at any meeting of members of the Company. Each Convertible Preferred Share
shall confer on its holder such number of voting rights as if the Convertible Preferred
Share had been converted into Common Shares.
	 
	5.	 	Consent of Convertible Preferred Shareholders
	 
	 	 	Except with the consent or sanction of at least 75 percent of the vote of the holders of
the Convertible Preferred Shares given at a separate class meeting no resolution may be
made by the Company to amend the rights of the Convertible Preferred Shares contained
herein.
	 
	6.	 	Payments

	 	(A)	 	Payment by the Company to any holder of Convertible Preferred Share(s) of all
amounts in respect of the Convertible Preferred Shares under paragraph 1 or paragraph
2 hereof shall be made on the due dates into such bank account as the holder of the
relevant Convertible Preferred Shares may notify the Company by at least 7 Business
Days’ prior written notice from time to time. All payments made by the Company in
respect of the Convertible Preferred Shares shall be made in Hong Kong dollars in
immediately available funds.
	 
	 	(B)	 	If the due date for payment of any amount in respect of the Convertible
Preferred Shares is not a Business Day, such amount shall be paid on the
following Business Day.

	7.	 	Documents
	 
	 	 	The Company shall send to the holders of the Convertible Preferred Shares a copy of every
document sent to the holders of its Common Shares at the same time as it is sent to the
holder of the Common Shares.

 

10

	8.	 	Transfer
	 
	 	 	The Convertible Preferred Shares shall be freely transferrable save as provided for under
the terms of the subscription agreement between the holder of the Convertible Preferred
Shares and the Company relating thereto (the “Subscription Agreement”).
	 
	9.	 	Redemption
	 
	 	 	The Convertible Preferred Shares are non-redeemable at the call of the Company or at the
option of the holder.
	 
	10.	 	Protection of the Convertible Preferred Shareholders
	 
	10.1	 	The Company agrees with and undertakes to each holder of Convertible Preferred Share(s)
that, so long as any Convertible Preferred Share is outstanding:

	 	(A)	 	the Company shall ensure that all Common Shares issued upon any conversion
will be duly and validly allotted and issued, fully paid or credited as fully paid,
and free from all liens, charges and encumbrances;
	 
	 	(B)	 	the Company shall not in any way vary the rights attached to any class or
series of shares, or attach any restriction to any class or series of shares, to the
extent that such variation would have the effect of varying the rights attaching to
the Convertible Preferred Shares, unless with prior written approval of 75% of the
holders of Convertible Preferred Shares;
	 
	 	(C)	 	the Company shall procure that at no time shall there be in issue shares of
different nominal values;
	 
	 	(D)	 	the Company shall not without prior written approval of 75% of the holders of
Convertible Preferred Shares take any step to or so as to liquidate, dissolve or wind
up the Company or any of its subsidiaries unless such liquidation, dissolution or
winding up would not have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Subscription
Agreement).

	10.2	 	The Company shall not make any reduction or redemption of capital, share premium account or
capital redemption reserve involving repayment of money to its shareholders or reduce any
uncalled liability in respect of any issued share unless in any such case: (i) it gives rise,
or would but for the provisions of paragraph 3.6 give rise, to an adjustment of the Conversion
Rate in accordance with that paragraph 3.6; (ii) the holder of the Convertible Preferred
Shares is entitled to receive any benefit of such repayment or reduction of liability; or
(iii) with prior written approval of 75% of the holders of Convertible Preferred Shares.
	 
	10.3	 	The Company shall not enter into any agreement, instrument or other document whatsoever
binding on it which may result in any breach of the memorandum and articles of
association of the Company.

CERTAIN ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

	3.1	 	Form of Warrant; Register.

	 	(a)	 	Each Warrant issued hereunder shall be in the form of Exhibit A
attached hereto (each, a “Warrant”) and shall be executed on behalf of the Company by a
Responsible Officer of the Company. Each Warrant shall bear the legend(s) appearing on
the first page of such form, except that the Company shall promptly remove any such
legend from a Warrant from and after such time as all the restrictions to which such
legend relates no longer apply.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Each Warrant issued or transferred hereunder shall be registered in a warrant
register (the “Warrant Register”) maintained at the principal office of the Company
(or any other location as the Company considers appropriate), in which register the
Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name this Warrant has
been issued, as well as the name and address of each successor and prior owner of such
Warrant. The Warrant Register shall set forth (i) the number of each Warrant, (ii) the
name and address of the Holder thereof, (iii) the original number of Warrant Preferred
Shares which may be subscribed upon the exercise thereof, (iv) the number of Warrant
Preferred Shares which may be subscribed upon the exercise thereof, and (v) the
Exercise Price for each Warrant Preferred Share. The Warrant Register will be
maintained by the Company and will be available for inspection by any Holder at the
principal office of the Company or such other location as the Company may designate to
the Holders in the manner set forth in Section 7.1. The Company shall be entitled to
treat the Holder of any Warrant as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and
shall not be bound to recognise any equitable or other claim to or interest in such
Warrant on the part of any other Person.

	3.2	 	Transfer of Warrants.

	 	(a)	 	Save for any transfer to any Permitted Transferee (as defined in the
Subscription Agreement), the Warrants are not transferable without the prior written
approval of

4

 

	 	 	 	the Company which shall have sole and absolute discretion thereon. In
the case of the Permitted Transferee, the Warrant may be transferred, in whole or in
part, by the Holder by delivering to the Company such Warrants accompanied by a
properly completed, duly executed, Assignment Form. As promptly as practicable but
in any event within 10 Business Days of receipt of such Assignment Form, the Company
shall, without charge, issue, register and deliver to the new holder (and the
Holder, where applicable) new Warrant(s) of like kind and tenor representing in the
aggregate the right to subscribe for the same number of Warrant Preferred Shares
that could be subscribed for pursuant to the Warrants being transferred.
	 
	 	(b)	 	At the request of the Company, the Permitted Transferee to whom a Warrant is transferred
in accordance with this Article III shall execute and deliver to the Company the Assignment
Form pursuant to which such Person agrees to become a party to, and to be bound by the terms
of and entitled to the benefits under this Agreement and the Subscription Agreement.

	3.3	 	Loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant
	 
	 	 	Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company (an affidavit of
the Holder being satisfactory) of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of any Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon
receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company or, in the case of any such
mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant, the Company shall, without charge, issue,
register and deliver in lieu of such Warrant a new Warrant of like kind representing the
same rights represented by, and dated the date of, such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated
Warrant. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the
Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be
at any time enforceable by any Person.

ARTICLE IV

EXERCISE OF WARRANT

	4.1	 	Exercise of Warrants; Expiration.

	 	(a)	 	On any Business Day on or prior to the Expiration Time, a Holder may exercise
a Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company such Warrant
accompanied by a properly completed Exercise Form in the form set forth in Annex A
to this Agreement. Any partial exercise of a Warrant shall be for a whole number of Warrant
Preferred Shares only.
	 
	 	(b)	 	On the Closing Date (as defined in Paragraph 4.2 below), the Holder thereof shall
deliver to the Company the consideration therefore (being an aggregate amount equal to the
product of (x) the Exercise Price and (y) the number of Warrant Preferred Shares being
subscribed for) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated
by the Company or a certified check payable to the Company on the relevant Closing Date;

5

 

	 	(c)	 	A Warrant shall terminate and become void as of the earlier of (x) the Expiration Time
and (y) the date such Warrant is exercised in full.

	4.2	 	Issuance of Warrant Preferred Shares.

	 	(a)	 	Issuance of Warrant Preferred Shares. As promptly as practicable but on a closing date
to be agreed between the Company and the relevant Holder of the Warrant (the “Closing Date”)
which shall in any event be within 10 Business Days following the first date on which each
of the following items has been delivered to the Company (the “Delivery Date”): (i) an
Exercise Form in accordance with Section 4.1, and (ii) the related
Warrant, the Company shall on the Closing Date, without charge, upon compliance with the
applicable provisions of this Agreement, against the receipt for value of the required
payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the relevant Warrant Preferred Shares to be
determined in accordance with Section 4.l(b), issue to such Holder one or more stock
certificates or other appropriate evidence of ownership of the aggregate number of Warrant
Preferred Shares to which the Holder of such Warrant is entitled, in such denominations, and
registered or otherwise placed in such name as may be directed in writing by such Holder.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Partial Exercise. If a Holder shall exercise a Warrant for less than all of the Warrant
Preferred Shares that could be subscribed for thereunder, the Company shall issue, register
and deliver to the Holder, as promptly as practicable but in any event within 10 Business
Days following the Delivery Date, a new Warrant evidencing the right to subscribe for the
remaining Warrant Preferred Shares represented by such Warrants. Each partial exercise shall
be for a minimum subscription of 15,000,000 Warrant Preferred Shares, or, if less than
15,000,000 Warrant Preferred Shares are issuable under the Warrants then held by the Holder,
for all of such number of Warrant Preferred Shares issuable under the Warrants then held by
the Holder. Each Warrant not exercised on or prior to the Expiration Time pursuant to
Section 4.1 shall be cancelled.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Warrant
Preferred Shares. If any fraction of a Warrant Preferred Share would be issuable
on the exercise of any Warrant, such fractional number shall be rounded down to the nearest
whole number and such fractional entitlement shall be deemed to have been waived by the
Holder.

ARTICLE V

ADJUSTMENT AND RIGHTS OF WARRANT PREFERRED SHARES

	5.1	 	No Adjustment.
	 
	 	 	No adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price nor the number of Warrant Preferred Shares
issuable upon exercise of each Warrant.

6

 

	5.2	 	Rights attaching to the Warrant Preferred Shares.
	 
	 	 	The Company agrees and acknowledges that each Warrant Preferred Share, upon
issue, shall rank pari passu in all respects with, and shall carry the same rights as, the
Convertible Preferred Shares; and upon signing the Assignment Form each holder of any
Warrant Preferred Share shall have the same rights as a holder of any Convertible Preferred
Share under the Subscription Agreement as if it was a party to that Subscription Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, each Warrant Preferred Share, upon issue, shall bear the then
applicable Conversion Rate (as defined in, and determined in accordance with, the provisions
of Schedule A to the Subscription Agreement) attached, or as would have been attached, to
the Convertible Preferred Shares issued initially under the Subscription Agreement,
regardless of whether any (and on the assumption that not all) of such Convertible Preferred
Shares have by then been converted into Common Shares.

ARTICLE VI

	 	 	No Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to any pre-emptive rights or any other
rights as a shareholder of the Company.
	 
	6.2	 	Fees, charges and stamp duties.
	 
	 	 	The Company will pay (if applicable) all Cayman Islands and Hong Kong stamp duties,
registration fees or similar charges in respect of the execution of this Agreement, the
creation and issue of the Warrants, the exercise of the Warrants and the issue of Warrant
Preferred Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein
requires the Company to pay or be responsible for paying any income tax or capital gains tax
(if applicable) that may arise for the account of the Holder.
