			EXHIBIT A 
		

		
			DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			

		 

		

			 

		

 
		

		
			DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
		

		
			 
		

		
			We, JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd., will issue the notes under an indenture to be dated as of the date of initial issuance of the notes, which we refer to as the indenture, between JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd., as issuer, and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch as trustee (the “trustee”), paying agent (the “paying agent”) and conversion agent (the “conversion agent”), The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch, as registrar (the “registrar”) and transfer agent (the “transfer agent”).
		

		
			 
		

		
			The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the notes and the indenture and does not purport to be complete. This summary is subject to, and is qualified by reference to, the provisions of the notes and the indenture, including the definitions of certain terms used in these documents. We urge you to read these documents because they, and not this description, define your rights as a holder of the notes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			For purposes of this description, references to “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer only to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd., and not to its subsidiaries and references to “holders” refer to holders of the notes described herein.
		

		
			 
		

		
			General
		

		
			 
		

		
			The notes will:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						be our general unsecured, senior obligations;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						initially be limited to an aggregate principal amount of US$85.0 million;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						bear cash interest from May 17, 2019 at an annual rate of 4.5% payable in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2019;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						be subject to repurchase for cash by us at the option of the holders on June 1, 2021 or following a fundamental change (as defined below under “— Fundamental Change Permits Holders to Require Us to Repurchase Notes”), in each case at a price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date or fundamental change repurchase date, as the case may be;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						mature on June 1, 2024, unless earlier converted or repurchased;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						be issued in denominations of US$1,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						be represented by one or more registered notes in global form, but in certain limited circumstances may be represented by notes in definitive form as described below under “— Book-Entry, Settlement and Clearance.”

				

		
			 
		

		
			The notes may be converted at any time prior to the close of business on the third business day immediately preceding the maturity date at the applicable conversion rate. The conversion rate will initially be 52.0833 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) (each representing as of the date hereof four ordinary shares, par value US$0.00002 per ordinary share, of JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.) per US$1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately US$19.20 per ADS), subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.
		

		
			 
		

		
			

		 

		

			 

		

 
		

		
			 
		

		
			As described below under “— Conversion Rights — Settlement Upon Conversion,” upon conversion of a note, we will deliver ADSs, together with a cash payment in lieu of any fractional ADSs. Converting holders will not receive any additional cash payment or additional ADSs representing interest, if any, accrued and unpaid to the conversion date except under the limited circumstances described below under “— Conversion Rights — General.”
		

		
			 
		

		
			We may, without the consent of the holders, reopen the indenture for the notes and issue additional notes under the indenture with the same terms as the notes offered hereby in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that if any additional notes are not fungible with the notes offered hereby for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then such additional notes will have a separate ISIN number. We may also from time to time repurchase notes in open market purchases or negotiated transactions without prior notice to holders. Any notes repurchased by us will be retired and no longer outstanding under the indenture.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The indenture will not limit the amount of debt that we or our subsidiaries may issue under the indenture or otherwise. The indenture will not contain any financial covenants and does not restrict us from paying dividends or issuing or repurchasing our other securities. Other than restrictions described under “— Fundamental Change Permits Holders to Require Us to Repurchase Notes” and “— Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets” below, and except for the provisions set forth under “— Conversion Rights — Adjustment to Conversion Rate Upon Conversion In Connection With a Make-Whole Fundamental Change,” the indenture will not contain any covenants or other provisions designed to afford holders of the notes protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction involving us or in the event of a decline in our credit rating as a result of a takeover, recapitalization, highly leveraged transaction or similar restructuring involving us that could adversely affect the holders of the notes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			We do not intend to list the notes on a national securities exchange or to arrange for the notes to be quoted on any automated interdealer quotation system.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Payments on the Notes; Paying Agent and Registrar
		

		
			 
		

		
			We will pay or cause to be paid principal of and interest in full on physical or book- entry notes at the office or agency designated by us in London, United Kingdom. We have initially designated the trustee as our paying agent and registrar and its agency at the corporate trust office of the trustee in London, United Kingdom, as a place where notes may be presented for payment or for registration of transfer. We may, however, change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the holders of the notes, and we may act as paying agent or registrar.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Interest on physical notes will be payable (1) to holders holding physical notes having an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000 or less, by check mailed to the holders of such notes and (2) to holders holding physical notes having an aggregate principal amount of more than US$1,000,000, either by check mailed to each holder or, upon application by a holder to the registrar not later than the relevant record date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to that holder’s account, which application shall remain in effect until the holder notifies, in writing, the registrar to the contrary.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The registered holder of a note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.
		

		
			

		 

		

			2

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			We will pay principal of and interest on notes in global form registered in the name of or held by a common depositary for Euroclear Bank SA/NV (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, societe anonyme (“Clearstream”) or its nominee in immediately available funds to a common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of such global note.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Transfer and Exchange
		

		
			 
		

		
			A holder of notes may transfer or exchange notes at the office of the registrar in accordance with the indenture. The registrar and the trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents. No service charge will be imposed by us, the trustee or the registrar for any registration of transfer or exchange of notes. You may not sell or otherwise transfer notes, ADSs issuable upon conversion of notes, or ordinary shares represented thereby, except in compliance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the global note and the indenture. We are not required to transfer or exchange any note surrendered for conversion or for repurchase by us on June 1, 2021 or upon the occurrence of a fundamental change.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Interest
		

		
			 
		

		
			The notes will bear cash interest at a rate of 4.5 per year until maturity. Interest on the notes will accrue from May 17, 2019 or from the most recent date on which interest has been paid or duly provided for. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning December 1, 2019.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Interest will be paid to the person in whose name a note is registered at the close of business on May 15 or November 15 (whether or not a business day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the relevant interest payment date. Interest on the notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30- day months. If any interest payment date, the maturity date, or any earlier repurchase date for a required repurchase of notes by us either upon a fundamental change or on June 1, 2021 falls on a date that is not a business day, the required payment will be made on the next succeeding business day and no interest or other amount will be paid as a result of any such postponement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The term “business day” means, with respect to any note, any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in London, United Kingdom, or in the relevant city, as the case may be, are authorized or required by law or executive order to close or be closed and which is a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer system (the “TARGET2 system”), or any successor thereto, operates.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all references to interest herein include additional interest, if any, payable as described under “— No Registration Rights; Additional Interest” or at our election as the sole remedy during certain periods for an event of default relating to the failure to comply with our reporting obligations as described under “— Events of Default.”

			Additional Amounts
		

		
			 
		

		
			All payments and deliveries made by us or any successor to us under or with respect to the notes, including, but not limited to, payments of principal, payments of interest and deliveries of ADSs (together with cash payments in lieu of any fractional ADSs) upon conversion, will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or within any jurisdiction in which we or any successor are, for tax purposes, organized or resident or doing business in or through which payment is made (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) (each, as applicable, a “relevant taxing jurisdiction”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by regulation or governmental policy having the force of law. In the event that any such withholding or deduction is so required, we will pay to the holder of each note such additional amounts (“additional amounts”) as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount received by the beneficial owner after such withholding or deduction (and after deducting any taxes on the additional amounts) will equal the amounts that would have been received by such beneficial owner had no such withholding or deduction been required; provided that no additional amounts will be payable:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(1)

					
					
						for or on account of:

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(a)

					
					
						any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for:

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(i)

					
					
						the existence of any present or former connection between the holder or beneficial owner of such note and the relevant taxing jurisdiction, other than merely holding such note or the receipt of payments thereunder, including, without limitation, such holder or beneficial owner being or having been a national, domiciliary or resident of such relevant taxing jurisdiction or treated as a resident thereof or being or having been physically present or engaged in a trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(ii)

					
					
						the presentation of such note (in cases in which presentation is required) more than 30 days after the later of the date on which the payment of the principal of (including the repurchase price or fundamental change repurchase price, if applicable), premium, if any, and interest on, such note became due and payable pursuant to the terms thereof or was made or duly provided for; or

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(iii)

					
					
						the failure of the holder or beneficial owner to comply with a timely request from us or any successor, addressed to the holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, to provide certification, information, documents or other evidence concerning such holder’s or beneficial owner’s nationality, residence, identity or connection with the relevant taxing jurisdiction, or to make any declaration or satisfy any other reporting requirement relating to such matters, if and to the extent that due and timely compliance with such request is required by statute, regulation or administrative practice of the relevant taxing jurisdiction to reduce or eliminate any withholding or deduction as to which additional amounts would have otherwise been payable to such holder or beneficial owner;

				

		
			

		 

		

			4

		

  
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(b)

					
					
						any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, excise, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(c)

					
					
						any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments under or with respect to the notes;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(d)

					
					
						in respect of any withholding or deduction imposed pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any regulations or agreements thereunder, any official interpretations thereof, or any law implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto (collectively, “FATCA”); or

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(e)

					
					
						any combination of taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges referred to in the preceding clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d); or

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(2)

					
					
						with respect to any payment of the principal of (including the repurchase price or fundamental change repurchase price, if applicable), premium, if any, and interest on, such note to a holder, if the holder is a fiduciary, partnership or person other than the sole beneficial owner of that payment to the extent that such payment would be required to be included in the income under the laws of the relevant taxing jurisdiction, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a member of that partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such additional amounts had that beneficiary, settlor, partner or beneficial owner been the holder thereof.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Whenever there is mentioned in any context the delivery of ADSs (together with a cash payment in lieu of any fractional ADSs) upon conversion of the notes or the payment of principal of (including the repurchase price or fundamental change repurchase price, if applicable), and any premium or interest on, any note or any amount payable with respect to such note, such mention shall be deemed to include payment of additional amounts provided for in the indenture to the extent that, in such context, additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Ranking
		

		
			 
		

		
			The notes will be our general unsecured obligations that rank senior in right of payment to all of our existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes. The notes will rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future liabilities that are not so subordinated. The notes will effectively rank junior to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness. In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or other winding up, our assets that secure such secured indebtedness will be available to pay obligations on the notes only after such secured indebtedness has been repaid in full. We advise you that there may not be sufficient assets remaining to pay amounts due on any or all the notes then outstanding. The notes will also be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities and commitments (including trade payables and lease obligations) of our subsidiaries.

			Conversion Rights
		

		
			 
		

		
			General
		

		
			 
		

		
			Holders may convert their notes at the applicable conversion rate at any time prior to the close of business on the third business day immediately preceding the maturity date for such notes. The conversion rate will initially be 52.0833 ADSs per US$1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately US$19.20 per ADS), subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events as described below. Upon conversion of a note, we will satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering ADSs, together with a cash payment in lieu of any fractional ADSs, as set forth below under “— Settlement Upon Conversion.” The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch will initially act as the conversion agent.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The conversion rate and the corresponding conversion price in effect at any given time are referred to as the “applicable conversion rate” and the “applicable conversion price,” respectively, and will be subject to adjustment as described below. The applicable conversion price at any given time will be computed by dividing US$1,000 by the applicable conversion rate at such time. A holder may convert all or any portion of the aggregate principal amount of such holder’s notes so long as such portion is an integral multiple of US$1,000 principal amount.
		

		
			 
		

		
			If the holder of a note has submitted such note for repurchase on June 1, 2021 or upon a fundamental change, the holder may convert such note only if that holder first withdraws its repurchase notice.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Upon conversion, a converting holder will not receive any additional cash payment or additional ADSs representing accrued and unpaid interest, if any, except as described below. We will not deliver fractional ADSs upon conversion of notes. Instead, we will pay cash in lieu of fractional ADSs as described under “— Settlement Upon Conversion.” Our payment or delivery, as the case may be, to you of the ADSs, together with any cash payment in lieu of any fractional ADSs into which a note is convertible, will be deemed to satisfy in full our obligation to pay:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the principal amount of the note; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the conversion date.

				

		
			 
		

		
			As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the conversion date will be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, if notes are converted after 3:00 p.m., London time, on a record date for the payment of interest, holders of such notes at 3:00 p.m., London time, on such record date will receive the full amount of interest payable on such notes on the corresponding interest payment date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from 3:00 p.m., London time, on any record date, to 9:00 a.m., London time, on the immediately following interest payment date, must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the notes so converted; provided that no such payment need be made:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if the notes are surrendered for conversion after 3:00 p.m., London time, on the record date immediately preceding the maturity date and before 3:00 p.m., London time on the third business day immediately preceding the maturity date;

				

		
			

		 

		

			6

		

  
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if we have specified a fundamental change repurchase date (as defined below) that is after a record date and on or prior to the business day immediately following the corresponding interest payment date; or

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						to the extent of any defaulted amounts, if any defaulted amounts exist at the time of conversion with respect to such note.

				

		
			 
		

		
			If a holder converts notes, we will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of the ADSs upon the conversion, unless such tax is due because the holder requests such ADSs to be issued in a name other than the holder’s name, in which case the holder will pay such tax. We will pay any ADS depositary fees for issuance of the ADSs.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Conversion Procedures
		

		
			 
		

		
			To convert a beneficial interest in a global note, the holder must comply with procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream in effect at that time for book-entry transfer to the conversion agent through Euroclear and Clearstream facilities and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next interest payment date to which the holder is not entitled and, if required, pay all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax, if any, which may be payable in respect of any transfer involving the issue or delivery of the ADSs in the name of a person other than the holder of such note.
		

		
			 
		

		
			To convert a physical note, the holder must:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						complete and manually sign the conversion notice, a form of which is included on the reverse side of the note, or a facsimile of the conversion notice;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						deliver the conversion notice, which is irrevocable, and the note to the conversion agent;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if required by the conversion agent, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and ADS delivery instructions if required by the ADS depositary;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next interest payment date to which the holder is not entitled; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if required, pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect of any transfer involving the issue or delivery of the ADSs in the name of a person other than the holder of such note.

				

		
			 
		

		
			We refer to the date a holder complies with the relevant procedures for conversion described above as the “conversion date.”
		

		
			 
		

		
			If a holder has already delivered a repurchase notice as described under either “— Repurchase of Notes by Us at the Option of the Holder” or “— Fundamental Change Permits Holders to Require Us to Repurchase Notes” with respect to a note, the holder may not surrender that note for conversion until the holder has withdrawn the relevant repurchase notice in accordance with the indenture. If a holder submits its notes for repurchase, the holder’s right to withdraw the repurchase notice and convert the notes that are subject to repurchase will terminate at the close of business on the third business day immediately preceding June 1, 2021 or the relevant fundamental change repurchase date, as the case may be.
		

		
			

		 

		

			7

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			Settlement Upon Conversion
		

		
			 
		

		
			Upon conversion, we will deliver to holders, in respect of each US$1,000 principal amount of notes being converted, a number of ADSs equal to the applicable conversion rate as of the relevant conversion date, together with a cash payment in lieu of any fractional ADSs issuable upon conversion based on the last reported sale price of our ADSs on the relevant conversion date. We will deliver the consideration due in respect of any conversion on the fifth business day immediately following the relevant conversion date.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Each conversion will be deemed to have been effected as to any notes surrendered for conversion on the conversion date, and the person in whose name the ADSs shall be issuable upon such conversion will become the holder of record of such ADSs as of the close of business on such conversion date.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The “last reported sale price” of our ADSs on any date means the closing sale price per ADS (or if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) on that date as reported in composite transactions for the principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange on which our ADSs are traded. If our ADSs are not listed for trading on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange on the relevant date, the “last reported sale price” will be the average of the last quoted bid and ask prices for our ADSs in the over-the-counter market on the relevant date as reported by OTC Markets Group Inc. or a similar organization. If our ADSs are not so quoted, the “last reported sale price” will be the average of the mid-point of the last bid and ask prices for our ADSs on the relevant date from each of at least three nationally recognized independent investment banking firms selected by us for this purpose.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Conversion Rate Adjustments
		

		
			 
		

		
			As of the date of the notes purchase agreement, each of our ADSs represents four of our ordinary shares. If the number of our ordinary shares represented by our ADSs is changed for any reason other than one or more of the events described below, we will make an appropriate adjustment to the conversion rate such that the number of our ordinary shares represented by the ADSs deliverable upon conversion of any notes is not affected by such change.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Notwithstanding the adjustment provisions described below, if we distribute to all or substantially all holders of our ordinary shares any cash, rights, options, warrants, shares of capital stock or similar equity interest, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of ours (but excluding expiring rights (as defined below)) and, in lieu of a corresponding distribution to holders of our ADSs, our ADSs will instead represent, in addition to our ordinary shares, such cash, rights, options, warrants, shares of capital stock or similar equity interest, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of ours, then a conversion rate adjustment described below will not made unless and until a corresponding distribution (if any) is made to holders of our ADSs, in which case such conversion rate adjustment will be based on the distribution made to the holders of our ADSs and not on the distribution made to the holders of our ordinary shares. However, in the event that we issue or distribute to all or substantially all holders of our ordinary shares any expiring rights, notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, we will adjust the conversion rate pursuant to the provisions set forth opposite clause (2) below (in the case of expiring rights entitling holders of our ordinary shares for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance to subscribe for or purchase our ordinary shares or ADSs) or clause (3) below (in the case of all other expiring rights). “Expiring rights” means any rights, options or warrants to purchase our ordinary shares or ADSs that expire on or prior to the maturity date of the notes.
		

		
			

		 

		

			8

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			For the avoidance of doubt, if any event described in clauses (1) through (5) below results in a change to the number of our ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, then such a change will be deemed to satisfy our obligation to adjust the conversion rate on account of such event to the extent, but only to the extent, that such change reflects the adjustment to the conversion rate that would otherwise have been required on account of such event.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Subject to the foregoing, the conversion rate will be adjusted as described below, except that we will not make any adjustments to the conversion rate if holders of the notes participate (other than in the case of a share split or share combination), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of our ADSs and solely as a result of holding the notes, in any of the transactions described below without having to convert their notes as if they held a number of ADSs equal to the conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the effective time for such adjustment, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of notes held by such holder.
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(1)

					
					
						If we exclusively issue our ordinary shares as a dividend or distribution on our ordinary shares, or if we effect a share split or share combination, the conversion rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

				

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			 
		

		
			where,
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR0  =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the close of the business on the record date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the adjustment effective date of such share split or combination, as applicable;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR1  =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately after the close of the business on such record date or immediately after the open of business on such adjustment effective date, as applicable;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						OS0  =

					
					
						the number of our ordinary shares outstanding immediately prior to the close of the business on such record date or immediately prior to the open of business on such adjustment effective date, as applicable; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						OS1  =

					
					
						the number of our ordinary shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Any adjustment made under this clause (1) will become effective immediately after the close of the business on the record date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the adjustment effective date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this clause (1) is declared but not so paid or made, the conversion rate will be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date our board of directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the conversion rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

						(2)

					
					
						If we issue to all or substantially all holders of our ordinary shares or ADSs any rights, options or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance to subscribe for or purchase our ordinary shares or ADSs at a price per ordinary share or ADSs less than the average of the last reported sale prices of our ADSs (in the case of any rights, options or warrants entitling holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase our ordinary shares, divided by the number of our ordinary shares then represented by one ADS) for each trading day during the 10 consecutive trading-day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the conversion rate will be increased based on the following formula:

				

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			 
		

		
			where,
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR0 =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the close of the business on the record date for such issuance;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR1  =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately after the close of the business on such record date;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						OS0  =

					
					
						the number of our ordinary shares outstanding immediately prior to the close of the business on such record date;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						X =

					
					
						the total number of our ordinary shares issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants or, in the case of any rights, options or warrants entitling holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase our ADSs, the total number of our ordinary shares represented by the total number of our ADSs issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						Y =

					
					
						the number of our ordinary shares equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the last reported sale prices of our ADSs (divided by the number of our ordinary shares then represented by one ADS) for each trading day during the 10 consecutive trading-day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Any increase made under this clause (2) will be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and will become effective immediately after the close of the business on the record date for such issuance. To the extent that our ordinary shares or ADSs, as the case may be, are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the conversion rate will be decreased to the conversion rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of our ordinary shares or ADSs, as the case may be, actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the conversion rate will be decreased to be the conversion rate that would then be in effect if such record date for such issuance had not occurred.
		

		
			

		 

		

			10

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase our ordinary shares or ADSs at less than such average of the last reported sale prices of our ADSs (in the case of any rights, options or warrants entitling holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase our ordinary shares, divided by the number of our ordinary shares then represented by one ADS) for each trading day during the 10 consecutive trading-day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such ordinary shares or ADSs, as the case may be, there will be taken into account any consideration received by us for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by our board of directors.
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(3)

					
					
						If we distribute shares of our capital stock, evidences of our indebtedness, other assets or property of ours or rights, options or warrants to acquire our capital stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of our ordinary shares, excluding:

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants as to which an adjustment has been effected pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment has been effected pursuant to clause (4) or (5) below; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						spin-offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this clause (3) will apply; then the conversion rate will be increased based on the following formula:

				

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			 
		

		
			where,
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR0 =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the close of the business on the record date for such distribution;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR1  =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately after the close of the business on such record date;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						SP0  =

					
					
						the average of the last reported sale prices of our ADSs (divided by the number of our ordinary shares then represented by one ADS) for each trading day during the 10 consecutive trading-day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the ex- dividend date for such distribution; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						FMV =

					
					
						the fair market value (as determined by our board of directors) of the shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants distributed with respect to each outstanding ordinary share on the ex-dividend date for such distribution.

				

		
			

		 

		

			11

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			Any increase made under the portion of this clause (3) above will become effective immediately after the close of the business on the record date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the conversion rate will be decreased to be the conversion rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.
		

		
			 
		

		
			If our board of directors determines the "FMV" (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this clause (3) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, in doing so it will consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the last reported sale prices of our ADSs over the 10 consecutive trading-day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Notwithstanding the foregoing, if "FMV" (as defined above) is equal to or greater than "SP0" (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each holder of a note will receive, in respect of each US$1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of our ADSs, the amount and kind of our capital stock, evidences of our indebtedness, other assets or property of ours or rights, options or warrants to acquire our capital stock or other securities that such holder would have received if such holder owned a number of ADSs equal to the conversion rate in effect on the record date for the distribution.
		

		
			 
		

		
			With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this clause (3) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on our ordinary shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit, where such capital stock or similar equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon consummation of the spin-off) on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange, which we refer to as a "spin-off," the conversion rate will be increased based on the following formula:
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			 
		

		
			where,
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR0  =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the valuation period (as defined below);

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR1  =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately after the end of the valuation period;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						FMV0  =

					
					
						the average of the last reported sale prices of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of our ordinary shares applicable to one ordinary share (determined for purposes of the definition of last reported sale price as if such capital stock or similar equity interest were our ADSs) for each trading day during the first 10 consecutive trading- day period beginning on, and including, the ex-dividend date of the spin- off (the "valuation period"); and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						MP0  =

			The increase to the conversion rate under the preceding paragraph will be determined on the last trading day of the valuation period but will be given effect immediately after the open of business on the ex- dividend date for the spin-off; provided that in respect of any conversion during the valuation period, references in the portion of this clause (3) related to spin-offs to 10 trading days will be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of trading days as have elapsed from, and including, the ex-dividend date of such spinoff to, and including, the conversion date in determining the applicable conversion rate.
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(4)

					
					
						If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of our ordinary shares, the conversion rate will be increased based on the following formula:

				

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			 
		

		
			where,
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR0  =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the close of the business on the record date for such dividend or distribution;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR1  =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately after the close of the business on the record date for such dividend or distribution;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						SP0  =

					
					
						the average of the last reported sale prices of our ADSs (divided by the number of our ordinary shares then represented by one ADS) for each trading day during the 10 consecutive trading-day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						C =

					
					
						the amount in cash per ordinary share that we distribute to holders of our ordinary shares.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Any increase made under this clause (4) will become effective immediately after the close of the business on the record date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the conversion rate will be decreased, effective as of the date our board of directors determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to the conversion rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Notwithstanding the foregoing, if "C" (as defined above) is equal to or greater than "SP0" (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each holder of a note will receive, for each US$1,000 principal amount of notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of our ADSs, the amount of cash that such holder would have received if such holder owned a number of ADSs equal to the conversion rate on the record date for such cash dividend or distribution.
		

		
			

		 

		

			13

		

  
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(5)

					
					
						If we or any of our subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for our ordinary shares or ADSs, if the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per ordinary share or ADS exceeds the average of the last reported sale prices of our ADSs (in the case of a tender or exchange offer for our ordinary shares, divided by the number of our ordinary shares then represented by one ADS) for each trading day during the 10 consecutive trading-day period beginning on, and including, the trading day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the conversion rate will be increased based on the following formula:

				

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			 
		

		
			where,
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR0 =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the 10th trading day immediately following, and including, the trading day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR1  =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the 10th trading day immediately following, and including, the trading day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						AC =

					
					
						the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by our board of directors) paid or payable for all ordinary shares or ADSs, as the case may be, purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						OS0  =

					
					
						the number of our ordinary shares outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all ordinary shares and ADSs accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						OS1  =

					
					
						the number of our ordinary shares outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase of all ordinary shares and ADSs accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						SP1  =

					
					
						the average of the last reported sale prices of our ADSs (divided by the number of our ordinary shares then represented by one ADS) over the 10 consecutive trading-day period immediately following, and including, the trading day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

				

		
			 
		

		
			The adjustment to the conversion rate under the preceding paragraph will be determined at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the 10th trading day immediately following, and including, the trading day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires but will be given effect immediately after the open of business on the trading day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that in respect of any conversion within the 10 trading days immediately following, and including, the trading day next succeeding the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references in this clause (5) to 10 trading days will be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of trading days as have elapsed from, and including, the trading day next succeeding the expiration date of such tender or exchange offer to, and including, the conversion date in determining the applicable conversion rate.
		

		
			

		 

		

			14

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			Except as stated herein, we will not adjust the conversion rate for the issuance of our ordinary shares or ADSs, any securities convertible into or exchangeable for our ordinary shares or ADSs, or the right to purchase our ordinary shares or ADSs or such convertible or exchangeable securities.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any conversion rate adjustment becomes effective as described above, and a holder that has converted any notes with a conversion date occurring on or after the date such conversion rate adjustment becomes effective will participate, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of our ADSs and solely as a result of holding the ADSs issuable upon conversion of such notes, in the transaction or event giving rise to such conversion rate adjustment, then such conversion rate adjustment will not be made with respect to such notes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			“Trading day” means a day (i) during which trading in our ADSs (or other relevant securities) generally occurs on The New York Stock Exchange or, if our ADSs (or other relevant securities) are not then listed on The New York Stock Exchange, on the other principal United States national or regional securities exchange on which our ADSs (or other relevant securities) are then listed or, if our ADSs (or other relevant securities) are not then listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange, on the other principal market on which our ADSs (or other relevant securities) are then listed or admitted for trading, and (ii) on which the last reported sale price for our ADSs (or other relevant securities) is available on such securities exchange or market. If our ADSs (or other relevant securities) are not so listed or admitted for trading, “trading day” means a “business day.”
		

		
			 
		

		
			The “ex-dividend date” with respect to any issuance, dividend or distribution to holders of our ordinary shares is the first date on which our ADSs trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive the corresponding issuance, dividend or distribution in question from the depositary for the ADSs or, if applicable, from the seller of our ADSs on such exchange or market (in the form of due bills or otherwise) as determined by such exchange or market.
		

		
			 
		

		
			As used in this section, the “adjustment effective date” with respect to any share split or share combination in respect of our ordinary shares means the first date on which our ADSs trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, reflecting such share split or share combination.
		

		
			 
		

		
			“Record date” means, with respect to any issuance, dividend or distribution to holders of our ordinary shares, the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such issuance, dividend or distribution (whether such date is fixed by our board of directors, by statute, by contract or otherwise).
		

		
			 
		

		
			To the extent permitted by law and the rules of The New York Stock Exchange or any other securities exchange on which any of our securities are then listed, we are permitted to increase the conversion rate of the notes by any amount for a period of at least 20 business days if our board of directors determines that such increase would be in our best interest, which determination will be conclusive. We may also (but are not required to) increase the conversion rate to avoid or diminish income tax to holders of our ordinary shares or ADSs or rights to purchase our ordinary shares or ADSs in connection with a dividend or distribution of our ordinary shares or ADSs (or rights to acquire our ordinary shares or ADSs) or similar event.
		

		
			

		 

		

			15

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			To the extent that we have a rights plan in effect upon conversion of the notes into ADSs, holders of the notes will receive, in addition to ADSs received in connection with such conversion, the rights under the rights plan, unless prior to any conversion, the rights have separated from our ordinary shares, in which case, and only in such case, the conversion rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if we distributed to all holders of our ordinary shares, shares of our capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights or warrants as described in clause (3) above, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
		

		
			 
		

		
			If our ordinary shares cease to be represented by American Depositary Receipts issued under a depositary receipt program sponsored by us, all references herein to our ADSs will be deemed to have been replaced by a reference to the number of our ordinary shares (and other property, if any) represented by our ADSs on the last day on which our ADSs represented our ordinary shares and as if our ordinary shares and the other property had been distributed to holders of our ADSs on that day.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The conversion rate will not be adjusted:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						upon the issuance of any of our ordinary shares or ADSs pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on our securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in ordinary shares or ADSs under any plan;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						upon the issuance of any ordinary shares or ADSs or options or rights to purchase those ordinary shares or ADSs pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by us or any of our subsidiaries;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						upon the issuance of any ordinary shares or ADSs pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in the preceding bullet and outstanding as of the date the notes were first issued;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						for a change solely in the par value of our ordinary shares; or

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Adjustments to the conversion rate will be calculated to the nearest 1⁄10,000th of an ADS. We will not be required to make an adjustment to the conversion rate unless the adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in the conversion rate. However, we will carry forward any adjustments that are less than 1% of the conversion rate and make such carried-forward adjustments, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%, on (x) December 31 of each calendar year and (y) the conversion date for any conversion of notes.
		

		
			

		 

		

			16

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			Whenever the conversion rate is adjusted as described above, we will notify the trustee, the conversion agent and the paying agent of such conversion rate adjustment and file with the trustee, the conversion agent and the paying agent an officers' certificate and the trustee, the conversion agent and the paying agent may conclusively rely on the accuracy of the conversion rate adjustment provided by us. Unless and until a responsible officer of the trustee shall have received such officers' certificate, neither the trustee, the conversion agent nor the paying agent will be deemed to have knowledge of such conversion rate adjustment and may assume without inquiry that the last conversion rate of which it has been notified by us is still in effect. Promptly after providing such notice to the trustee, the conversion agent and the paying agent we will provide notice of such conversion rate adjustment and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective to all holders of the notes at their addresses shown in the register of the registrar within 5 business days of the date on which the conversion rate adjustment is made. Our failure to deliver such notice will not affect the legality or validity of any such conversion rate adjustment.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The trustee, the conversion agent and any other conversion agent will not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any holder of notes to perform calculations or to determine the conversion rate or whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the conversion rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed. The trustee and the conversion agent will not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any ADSs, or of any securities or other property, that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any note; and the trustee and the conversion agent will make no representations with respect thereto in the indenture. Neither the trustee nor the conversion agent will be responsible for any failure by us to issue, transfer or deliver any ADSs, or the ordinary shares represented thereby, or share certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of our duties, responsibilities or covenants under the indenture. Neither the trustee nor the conversion agent shall have any liability for and shall be held harmless with respect to timely receipt by holders of repurchase consideration and conversion consideration in as much as the conversion agent must rely on timely receipt from us.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the trustee nor any conversion agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture relating either to the kind or amount of ADSs or securities or property (including cash) receivable by holders of the notes upon the conversion of their notes after any event or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the officers' certificate (which we will be obligated to file with the trustee prior to the execution of any supplemental indenture) and opinion of counsel with respect thereto. Neither the trustee nor the conversion agent has any duty to determine how or when any adjustment described above should be made. Neither the trustee nor the conversion agent shall be responsible for our failure to comply with the indenture.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of Our Ordinary Shares
		

		
			 
		

		
			In the event of:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						any recapitalization, reclassification or change of our ordinary shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination);

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						any consolidation, merger or combination involving us;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						any sale, lease or other transfer to another person of all or substantially all of our property and assets; or

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						any statutory share exchange;

				

		
			

		 

		

			17

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			in each case, as a result of which our ADSs would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof), then, at and after the effective time of the transaction, the right to convert each US$1,000 principal amount of notes will be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of notes into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of ADSs equal to the conversion rate immediately prior to such transaction would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “reference property”) upon such transaction. If the transaction causes our ADSs to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), the reference property into which the notes will be convertible will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of our ADSs that affirmatively make such an election. We will notify holders, the trustee and the conversion agent of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. We will agree in the indenture not to become a party to any such transaction unless its terms are consistent with the foregoing.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Adjustments of Prices
		

		
			 
		

		
			Whenever any provision of the indenture requires us to calculate the last reported sale prices over a span of multiple days (including the “ADS prices” (as defined below) for purposes of a make-whole fundamental change), our board of directors will make appropriate adjustments to each to account for any adjustment to the conversion rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the conversion rate where the record date of the event occurs, at any time during the period when the last reported sale prices or ADS prices are to be calculated.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Adjustment to Conversion Rate Upon Conversion In Connection With a Make-Whole Fundamental Change
		

		
			 
		

		
			If a “fundamental change” (as defined below and determined after giving effect to any exceptions to or exclusions from such definition, but without regard to the proviso in clause (2) of such definition, a “make-whole fundamental change”) occurs and a holder elects to convert its notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change, we will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for the notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional ADSs (the “additional ADSs”), as described below. A conversion of notes will be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such make-whole fundamental change if the notice of conversion of the notes is received by the conversion agent from, and including, the effective date of the make-whole fundamental change to, and including, the third business day immediately prior to the related fundamental change repurchase date (or, in the case of a make-whole fundamental change that would have been a fundamental change but for the proviso in clause (2) of the definition thereof, the 35th trading day immediately following the effective date of such make-whole fundamental change).
		

		
			 
		

		
			We will notify holders, the trustee, the conversion agent and the paying agent of the effective date of any make-whole fundamental change and issue a press release announcing such effective date no later than five business days after such effective date.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The number of additional ADSs, if any, by which the conversion rate will be increased will be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the make whole fundamental change occurs or becomes effective (the “effective date”) and the price paid (or deemed to be paid) per ADS in the make-whole fundamental change (the “ADS price”). If the holders of our ADSs receive only cash in a make-whole fundamental change described in clause (2) of the definition of fundamental change, the ADS price will be the cash amount paid per ADS. Otherwise, the ADS price will be the average of the last reported sale prices of our ADSs for each trading day during the five trading-day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the effective date of the make-whole fundamental change.
		

		
			

		 

		

			18

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			The ADS prices set forth in the column headings of the table below will be adjusted as of any date on which the conversion rate of the notes is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted ADS prices will equal the ADS prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the conversion rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the ADS price adjustment and the denominator of which is the conversion rate as so adjusted. The number of additional ADSs will be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the conversion rate as set forth under “— Conversion Rate Adjustments.”
		

		
			 
		

		
			The following table sets forth the number of additional ADSs to be added to the conversion rate for each ADS price and effective date set forth below:

			The exact ADS prices and effective dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:
		

		
			 
		

		
			if the ADS price is between two ADS prices in the table or the effective date is between two effective dates in the table, the number of additional ADSs will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of additional ADSs set forth for the higher and lower ADS prices and the earlier and later effective dates based on a 365-day year, as applicable;
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if the ADS price is greater than US$80.00 per ADS (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the ADS prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no additional ADSs will be added to the conversion rate; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if the ADS price is less than US$16.00 per ADS (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the ADS prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no additional ADSs will be added to the conversion rate.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of ADSs issuable upon conversion exceed 62.5000 per US$1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion rate as set forth under “— Conversion Rate Adjustments.”
		

		
			 
		

		
			Our obligation to satisfy the additional ADSs requirement could be considered a penalty, in which case the enforceability thereof would be subject to general principles of reasonableness and equitable remedies.

			Repurchase of Notes by Us at the Option of the Holder
		

		
			 
		

		
			Holders will have the right, at their option, to require us to repurchase for cash all of their notes, or any portion of the principal thereof that is equal to US$1,000 or an integral multiple of US$1,000, on June 1, 2021 (the “repurchase date”). We will be required to repurchase any outstanding notes for which a holder delivers a written repurchase notice to the paying agent. This notice must be delivered during the period that is 20 business days immediately preceding the repurchase date until the close of business on the third business day immediately preceding the repurchase date. If a repurchase notice is given and withdrawn during such period, we will not be obligated to repurchase the related notes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The repurchase price we are required to pay will be equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date; provided that we will pay the full amount of such accrued and unpaid interest not to the holder submitting the notes for repurchase on the repurchase date but instead to the holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding record date for the payment of interest.
		

		
			 
		

		
			On or before the 20th business day prior to the repurchase date, we will provide to the trustee, the paying agent and to all holders of the notes at their addresses shown in the register of the registrar, and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law, a notice stating, among other things:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the last date on which a holder may exercise the repurchase right;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the repurchase price;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the name and address of the conversion and paying agents; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the procedures that holders must follow to require us to repurchase their notes.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Simultaneously with providing such notice, we will publish a notice containing this information in a newspaper of general circulation in London or publish the information on our website or through such other public medium as we may use at that time.
		

		
			 
		

		
			A notice electing to require us to repurchase notes must state:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if physical notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the notes or, if not certificated, the notice must comply with appropriate Euroclear and Clearstream procedures;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the portion of the principal amount of notes to be repurchased, which must be US$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						that the notes are to be repurchased by us pursuant to the applicable provisions of the notes and the indenture.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Holders may withdraw any repurchase notice (in whole or in part) by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the paying agent prior to the close of business on the third business day immediately preceding the repurchase date. The notice of withdrawal must state:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the principal amount of the withdrawn notes;

				

		
			

		 

		

			20

		

  
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if physical notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn notes or, if not certificated, the notice must comply with appropriate Euroclear and Clearstream procedures; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the principal amount, if any, that remains subject to the repurchase notice, which must be US$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Holders must either effect book-entry transfer or deliver the notes, together with necessary endorsements, to the office of the paying agent after delivery of the repurchase notice to receive payment of the repurchase price. Holders will receive payment on the later of (i) the repurchase date and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of the notes. If the paying agent holds money sufficient to pay the repurchase price of the notes on the repurchase date, then:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the notes will cease to be outstanding and interest will cease to accrue (whether or not book-entry transfer of the notes is made or whether or not the note is delivered to the paying agent); and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						all other rights of the holder will terminate (other than the right to receive the repurchase price).

				

		
			 
		

		
			We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to repurchase the notes on the repurchase date or upon a fundamental change, and our future debt may contain limitations on our ability to repurchase the notes. In addition, our ability to satisfy our repurchase obligations may be limited by our ability to obtain funds as a result of restrictions on dividends from our subsidiaries, the terms of our then existing borrowing arrangements or otherwise. If we fail to repurchase the notes when required, we will be in default under the indenture.
		

		
			 
		

		
			In connection with any repurchase of notes on the repurchase date, we will, if required:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						comply with the provisions of the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable.

				

		
			 
		

		
			No notes may be repurchased at the option of holders on the repurchase date if the principal amount of the notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by us in the payment of the repurchase price with respect to such notes).
		

		
			 
		

		
			Fundamental Change Permits Holders to Require Us to Repurchase Notes
		

		
			 
		

		
			If a “fundamental change” (as defined below in this section) occurs at any time, holders of the notes will have the right, at their option, to require us to repurchase for cash all of their notes, or any portion of the outstanding principal amount thereof that is equal to US$1,000 or an integral multiple of US$1,000. The price we are required to pay will be equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date (unless the fundamental change repurchase date is after a record date for the payment of interest, and on or prior to the interest payment date to which such record date relates, in which case we will instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to the holder of record on such record date and the fundamental change repurchase price will be equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes to be repurchased). The fundamental change repurchase date will be a date specified by us that is not less than 20 or more than 35 calendar days following the date of our fundamental change notice as described below.
		

		
			

		 

		

			21

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			A “fundamental change” will be deemed to have occurred at the time after the notes are originally issued that any of the following occurs:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(i)

					
					
						a “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, other than our founders, us, our subsidiaries and our and their employee benefit plans, has become the direct or indirect ultimate “beneficial owner,” as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of our ordinary share capital (including our ADSs) representing more than 50% of the voting power of our ordinary share capital or (ii) our founders have collectively become the direct or indirect ultimate “beneficial owner,” as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of our ordinary share capital (including any ADSs) representing more than 55% of the voting power of our ordinary share capital;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(2)

					
					
						consummation of (A) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of our ordinary shares or ADSs (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination and changes to the number of our ordinary shares represented by each ADS) as a result of which our ordinary shares or ADSs would be converted into, or exchanged for, shares, other securities, other property or assets, (B) any share exchange, consolidation or merger involving us pursuant to which our ordinary shares or ADSs will be converted into cash, securities or other property, or (C) any sale, lease or other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of our and our subsidiaries' consolidated assets, taken as a whole, to any person other than one of our subsidiaries; provided, however, that a transaction described in clause (B) in which the holders of all classes of our common equity immediately prior to such transaction (each such holder, a “pre-transaction holder”) own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of all classes of common equity of the continuing or surviving corporation or transferee immediately after such event shall not be a fundamental change, so long as the proportion of the respective ownership of each pre-transaction holder remains substantially the same relative to all other pre-transaction holders;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(3)

					
					
						our shareholders approve any plan or proposal for our liquidation or dissolution; or

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(4)

					
					
						our ADSs (or other common equity or ADSs underlying the notes) cease to be listed or quoted on any of The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market, The NASDAQ Global Market (or any of their respective successors) or another U.S. national securities exchange.

				

		
			 
		

		
			A fundamental change as a result of clause (2) above will not be deemed to have occurred, however, if at least 90% of the consideration received or to be received by holders of our ADSs, excluding cash payments for fractional ADSs and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters' appraisal rights, in connection with such transaction or transactions consists of shares of common equity or ADSs that are listed or quoted on any of The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market, The NASDAQ Global Market (or any of their respective successors) or another U.S. national securities exchange or will be so listed or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such transaction or transactions (these securities being referred to as “publicly traded securities”) and as a result of this transaction or transactions the notes become convertible into such consideration, excluding cash payments for fractional ADSs.
		

		
			

		 

		

			22

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			On or before the 20th day after the occurrence of a fundamental change, we will provide to all holders of the notes, the trustee, the conversion agent and the paying agent a notice of the occurrence of the fundamental change and of the resulting repurchase right. Such notice shall state, among other things:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the events causing a fundamental change;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the effective date of the fundamental change;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the last date on which a holder may exercise the repurchase right;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the fundamental change repurchase price;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the fundamental change repurchase date;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if applicable, the name and address of the paying agent and the conversion agent;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if applicable, the applicable conversion rate and any adjustments to the applicable conversion rate;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if applicable, that the notes with respect to which a fundamental change repurchase notice has been delivered by a holder may be converted only if the holder withdraws the fundamental change repurchase notice in accordance with the terms of the indenture; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the procedures that holders must follow to require us to repurchase their notes.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Simultaneously with providing such notice, we will publish a notice containing this information in a newspaper of general circulation in London or publish the information on our website or through such other public medium as we may use at that time.
		

		
			 
		

		
			To exercise the fundamental change repurchase right, holders of the notes must deliver, on or before the third business day immediately preceding the fundamental change repurchase date, the notes to be repurchased, duly endorsed for transfer, together with a written repurchase notice in the form included on the reverse side of the notes duly completed, to the paying agent. The repurchase notice must state:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if physical notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the notes to be delivered for repurchase, or if not certificated, the notice must comply with applicable Euroclear and Clearstream procedures;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the portion of the principal amount of notes to be repurchased, which must be US$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						that the notes are to be repurchased by us pursuant to the applicable provisions of the notes and the indenture.

				

		
			

		 

		

			23

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			Holders may withdraw any repurchase notice (in whole or in part) by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the paying agent prior to the close of business on the third business day immediately preceding the fundamental change repurchase date. The notice of withdrawal shall state:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the principal amount of the withdrawn notes;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if physical notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn notes, or if not certificated, the notice must comply with applicable Euroclear and Clearstream procedures; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the principal amount, if any, which remains subject to the repurchase notice, which must be US$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof.

				

		
			 
		

		
			We will be required to repurchase the notes on the fundamental change repurchase date. Holders will receive payment of the fundamental change repurchase price on the later of (x) the fundamental change repurchase date and (y) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of the notes. If the paying agent holds money on the fundamental change repurchase date sufficient to pay the fundamental change repurchase price of the notes for which the holders have surrendered and not withdrawn repurchase notices, then:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the notes will cease to be outstanding and interest will cease to accrue (whether or not book-entry transfer of the notes is made or whether or not the notes are delivered to the paying agent); and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						all other rights of the holder will terminate (other than the right to receive the fundamental change repurchase price upon delivery or transfer of the notes).

				

		
			 
		

		
			In connection with any repurchase offer pursuant to a fundamental change repurchase notice, we will, if required, comply with the provisions of the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable.
		

		
			 
		

		
			No notes may be repurchased by us on any date at the option of holders upon a fundamental change if the principal amount of the notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by us in the payment of the fundamental change repurchase price with respect to such notes).
		

		
			 
		

		
			The rights of the holders to require us to repurchase their notes upon a fundamental change could discourage a potential acquirer of us. The fundamental change repurchase feature, however, is not the result of management’s knowledge of any specific effort to obtain control of us by any means or part of a plan by management to adopt a series of anti-takeover provisions.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The term fundamental change is limited to specified transactions and may not include other events that might adversely affect our financial condition. In addition, the ability of holders of the notes to require us to repurchase their notes upon a fundamental change may not protect holders in the event of a highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, merger or similar transaction involving us.
		

		
			

		 

		

			24

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			The definition of fundamental change includes a phrase relating to the conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or disposition of “all or substantially all” of our consolidated assets. There is no precise, established definition of the phrase “substantially all” under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of the notes to require us to repurchase its notes as a result of the conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or other disposition of less than all of our consolidated assets may be uncertain.
		

		
			 
		

		
			If a fundamental change were to occur, we may not have enough funds to pay the fundamental change repurchase price. Our ability to repurchase the notes for cash may be limited by restrictions on our ability to obtain funds for such repurchase through dividends from our subsidiaries, the terms of our then existing borrowing arrangements or otherwise. If we fail to repurchase the notes when required following a fundamental change, we will be in default under the indenture. We may in the future incur other indebtedness with similar change in control provisions permitting our holders to accelerate or to require us to purchase our indebtedness upon the occurrence of similar events or on some specific dates.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets
		

		
			 
		

		
			The indenture provides that we shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to, another person unless:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if we are not the resulting, surviving or transferee person (the “continuing entity”), the continuing entity is a person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof, the District of Columbia, or the Cayman Islands, and such person expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of our obligations under the notes and the indenture (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to pay additional amounts as set forth under “— Additional Amounts”);

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if, pursuant to the provisions set forth above under the heading “Conversion Rights Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of Our Ordinary Shares,” upon the occurrence of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, the notes would become convertible into securities issued by an issuer other than the continuing entity, such other issuer shall fully and unconditionally guarantee on a senior basis the resulting, continuing entity’s obligations under the notes; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						other conditions specified in the indenture are met.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Upon any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, the continuing entity (if not us) shall succeed to, and may exercise, every right and power of ours under the indenture, and, except in the case of any such lease, we shall be discharged from our obligations under the indenture and the notes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Although these types of transactions are permitted under the indenture, certain of the foregoing transactions could constitute a fundamental change (as defined above) permitting each holder to require us to repurchase the notes of such holder as described above.
		

		
			

		 

		

			25

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			Events of Default
		

		
			 
		

		
			Each of the following is an event of default:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(1)

					
					
						default in any payment of interest on any note when due and payable if the default continues for a period of 30 days;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(2)

					
					
						default in the payment of principal of any note when due and payable at its stated maturity, upon any required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(3)

					
					
						our failure to comply with our obligation to convert the notes in accordance with the indenture upon exercise of a holder’s conversion right that continues for five business days;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(4)

					
					
						our failure to comply with our obligations under “— Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets”;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(5)

					
					
						our failure to give a fundamental change notice as described under “— Fundamental Change Permits Holders to Require Us to Repurchase Notes” when due;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(6)

					
					
						our failure for 60 days after written notice from the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the notes then outstanding has been received to comply with any of our other agreements contained in the notes or the indenture;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(7)

					
					
						default, after the expiration of any applicable grace period, by us or any of our subsidiaries with respect to any mortgage, agreement or other instrument under which there may be outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of US$15 million in the aggregate of us and/or any such subsidiary, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created (i) resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable or (ii) constituting a failure to pay the principal of, or interest on, any such indebtedness when due and payable at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise, in each of clauses (i) and (ii), where such indebtedness is not discharged, or such acceleration is not rescinded or annulled, within a period of 30 days;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(8)

					
					
						a final judgment for the payment of US$15 million or more rendered against us or any of our subsidiaries if such amount is not covered by insurance or an indemnity and is not discharged or stayed within 30 days after (i) the date on which the right to appeal thereof has expired if no such appeal has commenced, or (ii) the date on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished; or

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(9)

					
					
						certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization relating to us or any of our subsidiaries that is a “significant subsidiary” (as defined in Regulation S- X under the Exchange Act) or any group of our subsidiaries that in the aggregate would constitute a “significant subsidiary” (these events being referred to as the “bankruptcy provisions”).

				

		
			

		 

		

			26

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			If an event of default occurs and is continuing (other than the occurrence of an event of default with respect to us described in clause (9) above), the trustee by notice to us, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes, by notice to us and the trustee, may, and the trustee at the request of such holders accompanied by security and/or indemnity satisfactory to it shall, declare 100% of the outstanding principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be due and payable immediately. Upon the occurrence of an event of default with respect to us described in clause (9) above, 100% of the outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the notes will be automatically due and payable immediately.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indenture will provide that, if we so elect, the sole remedy during the periods described below for an event of default in (6) above relating to our failure to comply with our obligations as set forth under “— Reports” below, will after the occurrence of such an event of default consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the notes at a rate equal to:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the notes outstanding for each day during the 180-day period beginning on, and including, the occurrence of such an event of default and on which such event of default is continuing; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the notes outstanding for each day during the 180-day period beginning on, and including, the 181st day following, and including, the occurrence of such an event of default and on which such event of default is continuing.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Such additional interest will be in addition to any additional interest that may accrue as a result of a registration default as described below under the caption “— No Registration Rights; Additional Interest.”
		

		
			 
		

		
			If we so elect, such additional interest will be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the notes. On the 361st day after such event of default (if the event of default relating to the reporting obligations is not cured or waived prior to such 361st day), the notes will be subject to acceleration as provided above. The provisions of the indenture described in this paragraph will not affect the rights of holders of notes in the event of the occurrence of any other event of default. In the event we do not elect to pay the additional interest following an event of default in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the notes will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided above.
		

		
			 
		

		
			In order to elect to pay the additional interest as the sole remedy during the first 360 days after the occurrence of an event of default relating to the failure to comply with the reporting obligations in accordance with the second preceding paragraph, we must notify all holders of notes, the trustee and the paying agent of such election prior to the beginning of such 360-day period. Upon our failure to timely give such notice, the notes will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided above.
		

		
			 
		

		
			If any portion of the amount payable on the notes upon acceleration is considered by a court to be unearned interest (through the allocation of the value of the instrument to the embedded warrant or otherwise), the court could disallow recovery of any such portion.
		

		
			

		 

		

			27

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			The holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes may, by notice to the trustee, waive any past default or event of default and its consequences, other than a default or event of default:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						in the payment of principal of, or interest on, any note or in the payment of the repurchase price on the repurchase date or fundamental change repurchase price;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						arising from our failure to deliver the consideration due upon conversion of any note in accordance with the indenture; or

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						in respect of any provision under the indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holders of each outstanding note affected.

				

		
			 
		

		
			In addition, each holder shall have the right to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the principal (including the repurchase price on the repurchase date or fundamental change repurchase price, if applicable) of;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the consideration due upon conversion of,

				

		
			 
		

		
			its notes, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the notes or the indenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery, as the case may be, and such right to receive such payment or delivery, as the case may be, on or after such respective dates shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the trustee, if an event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the notes unless such holders have offered to the trustee indemnity or security satisfactory in its sole discretion to it against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal or interest when due or to enforce the right to receive payment or delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, no holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the indenture or the notes unless:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(1)

					
					
						such holder has previously given the trustee notice that an event of default is continuing;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(2)

					
					
						holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes have requested the trustee to pursue the remedy;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(3)

					
					
						such holders have offered the trustee security or indemnity satisfactory in its sole discretion to it against any loss, liability or expense;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(4)

					
					
						the trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity satisfactory to it in its sole discretion; and

				

		
			

		 

		

			28

		

  
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(5)

					
					
						the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes have not given the trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the trustee, is inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Subject to certain restrictions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee. The indenture provides that in the event an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the trustee will be required in the exercise of its powers to use the degree of care that a prudent person would use in the conduct of its own affairs. The trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the indenture or that the trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder or that would involve the trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the indenture, the trustee will be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The indenture provides that if a default occurs and is continuing and is known to the trustee, the trustee must mail to each holder notice of the default within 90 days after it occurs. The trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a default or event of default (other than a default in the payment of the principal of (including the repurchase price and the fundamental change repurchase price, if applicable), or accrued and unpaid interest on, any of the notes) unless a responsible officer of the trustee has received written notice thereof in the manner provided in the indenture, which notice references the notes and the indenture. Except in the case of a default in the payment of principal of or interest on any note or a default in the delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, the trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of trust officers of the trustee in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the holders. In addition, we are required to deliver to the trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year and within 30 days of a written request from the trustee, an officers' certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any default that occurred during the previous year. We are also required to deliver to the trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any events which would constitute certain defaults, their status and what action we are taking or propose to take in respect thereof.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Payments of the repurchase price on the repurchase date, the fundamental change repurchase price, principal and interest that are not made when due will accrue interest per annum at the then-applicable interest rate plus 0.50% from the required payment date. Interest on the notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Modification and Amendment
		

		
			 
		

		
			Subject to certain exceptions, the indenture or the notes may be amended with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding (including without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, notes) and, subject to certain exceptions, any past default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, notes). However, without the consent of each holder of an outstanding note affected, no amendment may, among other things:
		

		
			

		 

		

			29

		

  
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(1)

					
					
						reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount of notes whose holders must consent to an amendment of the indenture or to waive any past default;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(2)

					
					
						reduce the rate of, or extend the stated time for payment of, interest on any note;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(3)

					
					
						reduce the principal of, or extend the stated maturity of, any note;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(4)

					
					
						make any change that impairs or adversely affects the conversion rights of any notes;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(5)

					
					
						reduce the repurchase price on the repurchase date or the fundamental change repurchase price of any note, or amend or modify in any manner adverse to the holders of notes our obligation to make such payments, whether through an amendment or waiver of provisions in the covenants, definitions or otherwise;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(6)

					
					
						make any note payable in a currency other than that stated in the note;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(7)

					
					
						change the ranking of the notes in a manner adverse to the holders of the notes;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(8)

					
					
						impair the right of any holder to receive payment of principal of, and interest on, such holder’s notes on or after the due dates therefor, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such holder’s notes;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(9)

					
					
						change our obligation to pay additional amounts on any note; or

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(10)

					
					
						make any change in the amendment provisions which require each holder’s consent or in the waiver provisions of the indenture.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Without the consent of any holder, we and the trustee may amend the indenture to:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(1)

					
					
						cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency in the indenture in a manner that does not, individually or in the aggregate, adversely affect the rights of any holder of notes in any respect;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(2)

					
					
						provide for the assumption by a successor corporation, partnership, trust or company, as the case may be, of our obligations under the indenture as described above under the heading “— Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets”;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(3)

					
					
						add guarantees with respect to the notes;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(4)

					
					
						secure the notes;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(5)

					
					
						add to our covenants for the benefit of the holders or surrender any right or power conferred upon us;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(6)

					
					
						make any change that does not, individually or in the aggregate, adversely affect the rights of any holder in any respect; or

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(7)

					
					
						conform the provisions of the indenture to this Description of Notes.

				

		
			

		 

		

			30

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			The consent of the holders is not necessary under the indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment. After an amendment under the indenture becomes effective, we are required to send to the holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all the holders, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Discharge
		

		
			 
		

		
			We may satisfy and discharge our obligations under the indenture by delivering to the registrar for cancellation all outstanding notes or by depositing with the trustee or delivering to the holders, as applicable, after the notes have become due and payable, whether at the stated maturity for such note, the repurchase date, any fundamental change repurchase date or upon conversion or otherwise, cash or (in the case of conversion) ADSs, sufficient to pay all of the outstanding notes or satisfy our conversion obligation, as the case may be, and pay all other sums payable under the indenture by us. Such discharge is subject to terms contained in the indenture.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Calculations in Respect of Notes
		

		
			 
		

		
			Except as otherwise provided above, we will be responsible for making all calculations called for under the notes. These calculations include, but are not limited to, determinations of the last reported sale prices of our ADSs, accrued interest payable on the notes, the additional ADS, if any, deliverable upon conversion in connection with a make-whole fundamental change, and the applicable conversion rate. We will make all these calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, our calculations will be final and binding on holders of notes. We will provide a schedule of our calculations to each of the trustee and the conversion agent, and each of the trustee and conversion agent is entitled to rely conclusively upon the accuracy of our calculations without independent verification. The trustee will forward our calculations to any holder of notes upon the request of that holder.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Reports
		

		
			 
		

		
			The indenture provides that any documents or reports that we are required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act must be filed by us with the trustee within 15 days after the same are required to be filed with the SEC (giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act). Documents or reports filed by us with the SEC via the EDGAR system will be deemed to be filed with the trustee as of the time such documents are filed with the SEC via EDGAR; provided that we will notify the trustee within 15 days of any such filing.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Trustee
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch is the trustee, paying agent and conversion agent. The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch is the registrar and transfer agent. The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch and The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch, in each of its capacities, including without limitation as trustee, registrar, paying agent and conversion agent, assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information concerning us or our affiliates or any other party contained in this document or the related documents or for any failure by us or any other party to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of such information.
		

		
			

		 

		

			31

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			Except during the continuance of an event of default, the trustee will not be liable, except for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth in the indenture and no implied covenant or obligation shall be read into the indenture against the trustee. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the trustee will use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise of the rights and powers vested in it under the indenture as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any holder, unless such holder shall have offered to the trustee security and/or indemnity satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against any loss, liability or expense. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture, we will reimburse the trustee, registrar, paying agent, conversion agent and transfer agent for all fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel) related to the performance of its duties under the indenture.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions with us, including normal banking and trustee relationships, provided, however, that if it acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict or resign.
		

		
			 
		

		
			We maintain banking relationships in the ordinary course of business with the trustee and its affiliates.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Governing Law
		

		
			 
		

		
			The indenture provides that it and the notes, and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to the indenture or the notes, will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
		

		
			 
		

		
			No Registration Rights; Additional Interest
		

		
			 
		

		
			We do not intend to file a resale shelf registration statement for the resale of the notes, the ADSs issuable upon conversion of the notes, or the ordinary shares represented thereby. As a result, you may only resell your notes, ADSs issued upon conversion of your notes, or ordinary shares represented thereby, pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) as currently in effect, a person who acquired notes from us or our affiliate and who has beneficially owned notes, ADSs, or ordinary shares represented thereby, issued upon conversion of the notes for at least one year is entitled to sell such notes, ADSs or ordinary shares without registration, but only if such person is not deemed to have been our affiliate at the time of, or at any time during three months preceding, the sale. Furthermore, under Rule 144, a person who acquired notes from us or our affiliate and who has beneficially owned notes, ADSs issued upon conversion of notes, or ordinary shares represented thereby, for at least six months is entitled to sell such notes, ADSs or ordinary shares without registration, so long as (i) such person is not deemed to have been our affiliate at the time of, or at any time during three months preceding, the sale and (ii) we have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the twelve months preceding such sale (other than current reports on Form 6-K). If we are not current in filing our Exchange Act reports, a person who acquires from us or our affiliate notes, ADSs issued upon conversion of notes, or ordinary shares represented thereby, could be required to hold such notes, ADSs or ordinary shares for up to one year following such acquisition. If we are not current in filing our Exchange Act reports, a person who is our affiliate and who owns notes, ADSs issued upon conversion of notes, or ordinary shares represented thereby, could be required to hold such notes, ADSs or ordinary shares indefinitely.
		

		
			

		 

		

			32

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			If, at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date that is six months after the last date of original issuance of the notes, we fail to timely file any document or report that we are required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods thereunder and other than reports on Form 6-K), or the notes are not otherwise freely tradable by holders other than our affiliates or persons who were our affiliates during the three immediately preceding months (as a result of restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of the indenture or the notes), we will pay additional interest on the notes. Additional interest will accrue on the notes at the rate of 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of notes outstanding for each day during such period for which our failure to file has occurred and is continuing or the notes are not so freely tradable.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Further, if, and for so long as, the restrictive legend on the notes has not been removed, the notes are assigned a restricted ISIN number or the notes are not otherwise freely tradable by holders other than our affiliates or persons who were our affiliates during the three immediately preceding months (without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of the indenture or the notes) as of the 365th day after the last date of original issuance of the notes offered hereby, we will pay additional interest on the notes. Additional interest will accrue on the notes at the rate of 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of notes outstanding until such restrictive legend is removed, the notes are assigned an unrestricted ISIN number and the notes are freely tradable as described above.
		

		
			 
		

		
			We cannot assure you that we will be able to remove the restrictive legend from the notes or from the ADSs issued upon conversion of the notes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			We will not, and will not permit any of our “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 144) to purchase, otherwise acquire or own any notes or any beneficial interest therein.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The notes will be issued with a restricted ISIN number. Until such time as we notify the trustee to remove the restrictive legend from the notes and the trustee does so, the restricted ISIN number will be the ISIN number for the notes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Additional interest pursuant to the foregoing provisions will be payable in arrears on each interest payment date following accrual in the same manner as regular interest on the notes and will be in addition to any additional interest that may accrue at our election as the sole remedy relating to the failure to comply with our reporting obligations as described under “— Events of Default.”
		

		
			 
		

		
			Book-Entry, Settlement and Clearance
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Global Notes
		

		
			 
		

		
			The notes will be initially issued in the form of one or more registered notes in global form, without interest coupons (“global notes”). Upon issuance, each of the global notes will be deposited with a common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream and registered in the name of the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream or its nominee.
		

		
			

		 

		

			33

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			Upon the issuance of the global note, Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will credit on their internal system the respective principal amounts of the individual beneficial interests represented by the global note to the respective accounts of persons who have accounts with them. These accounts will initially be designated by Credit Suisse (Hong Kong) Limited. Ownership of beneficial interests in the global note will be limited to persons who have accounts with Euroclear or Clearstream or persons who hold interests through such accountholders. Ownership of beneficial interests in the global note will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by Euroclear and Clearstream (with respect to interests of their respective accountholders) and the records of such accountholders (with respect to interests of persons other than such accountholders). Transfers between accountholders in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Beneficial interests in the global notes will be shown on, and transfers of beneficial interests in the global notes will be made only through, records maintained by Clearstream or Euroclear and their participants. When you purchase notes through the Clearstream or Euroclear systems, the purchases must be made by or through a direct or indirect participant in the Clearstream or Euroclear system, as the case may be. The participant will receive credit for the notes that you purchase on Clearstream’s or Euroclear's records, and, upon its receipt of such credit, you will become the beneficial owner of those notes. Your ownership interest will be recorded only on the records of the direct or indirect participant in Clearstream or Euroclear, as the case may be, through which you purchase the notes and not on Clearstream’s or Euroclear's records. Neither Clearstream nor Euroclear, as the case may be, will have any knowledge of your beneficial ownership of the notes. Clearstream’s or Euroclear’s records will show only the identity of the direct participants and the amount of the notes held by or through those direct participants. You will not receive a written confirmation of your purchase or sale or any periodic account statement directly from Clearstream or Euroclear. You should instead receive those documents from the direct or indirect participant in Clearstream or Euroclear through which you purchase the notes. As a result, the direct or indirect participants are responsible for keeping accurate account of the holdings of their customers. The paying agent will wire payments on the notes to the common depositary as the holder of the global notes. The trustee, the paying agent and we will treat the common depositary or any nominee of the common depositary (or any of their respective successors) as the owner of the global notes for all purposes. Accordingly, the trustee, the paying agent and we will have no direct responsibility or liability to pay amounts due with respect to the global notes to you or any other beneficial owners in the global notes. Any redemption or other notices with respect to the notes will be sent by us directly to Clearstream or Euroclear, which will, in turn, inform the direct participants (or the indirect participants), which will then contact you as a beneficial holder, all in accordance with the rules of Clearstream or Euroclear, as the case may be, and the internal procedures of the direct participant (or the indirect participant) through which you hold your beneficial interest in the notes. Clearstream or Euroclear will credit payments to the cash accounts of Clearstream customers or Euroclear participants in accordance with the relevant system's rules and procedures, to the extent received by its depositary. Clearstream and Euroclear have established their procedures in order to facilitate transfers of the notes among participants of Clearstream and Euroclear. However, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform those procedures, and they may discontinue or change those procedures at any time. The registered holder of the notes will be the nominee of the common depositary.
		

		
			

		 

		

			34

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			During the distribution compliance period described below, beneficial interests in the global note may be transferred only to non-U.S. persons under Regulation S. The distribution compliance period will begin on the original issuance date of the notes and end on the 40th day after the original issuance date of the notes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Beneficial interests in global notes may not be exchanged for notes in physical, certificated form except in the limited circumstances described below.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The global notes and beneficial interests in the global notes will be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the global notes and in the indenture.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Book-Entry Procedures for the Global Notes
		

		
			 
		

		
			Transfers of beneficial interests between accountholders in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The laws of certain jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Accordingly, the ability of beneficial owners to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in the global note may be limited by such laws.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Conversion of beneficial interests in notes through participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Euroclear and Clearstream each holds securities for participating organizations and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between their respective participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of such participants. Euroclear and Clearstream provide to their respective participants, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Euroclear and Clearstream participants are financial institutions throughout the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Indirect access to Euroclear and Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies which clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear or Clearstream participant, either directly or indirectly.
		

		
			 
		

		
			So long as the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream or its nominee is the registered owner of a global note, that common depositary or nominee will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by that global note for all purposes under the indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a global note:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						will not be entitled to have notes represented by the global note registered in their names;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						will not receive or be entitled to receive physical, certificated notes; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						will not be considered the owners or holders of the notes under the indenture for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any direction, instruction or approval to the trustee under the indenture.

				

		
			

		 

		

			35

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			As a result, each investor who owns a beneficial interest in a global note must rely on the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream to exercise any rights of a holder of notes under the indenture (and, if the investor is not an accountholder in Euroclear or Clearstream, on the procedures of the Euroclear or Clearstream accountholder through which the investor owns its interest).
		

		
			 
		

		
			Payments in respect of beneficial interests in the global note will be made to the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream or its nominee as the registered owner. Neither we nor the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for the payment of amounts to owners of beneficial interests in a global note, for any aspect or the accuracy of any of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial or ownership interests in the global note or for any notice permitted or required to be given to holders of the notes or any consent given or actions taken by such registered holder of the notes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			As of the date of the notes purchase agreement, the relevant procedures of Euroclear and Clearsteam provide that each payment in respect of a global note will be made to the person shown as the holder in the register at the close of business of Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, on the clearing system business day before the due date for such payments, where “clearing system business day” means a weekday (Monday to Friday, inclusive) except December 25 and January 1.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Physical Notes
		

		
			 
		

		
			Notes in physical, certificated form will be issued and delivered to each person that Euroclear and Clearstream identifies as a beneficial owner of the related notes only if:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						either Euroclear or Clearstream or a successor clearing system notifies us at any time that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the global notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within 60 days; or

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						an event of default with respect to the notes has occurred and is continuing, and such beneficial owner requests that its notes be issued in physical, certificated form.

			EXHIBIT A 
		

		
			DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			

		 

		

			 

		

 
		

		
			 
		

		
			DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
		

		
			 
		

		
			We, JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd., will issue the notes under an indenture to be dated as of the date of initial issuance of the notes, which we refer to as the indenture, between JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd., as issuer, and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch as trustee (the “trustee”), paying agent (the “paying agent”) and conversion agent (the “conversion agent”), The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch, as registrar (the “registrar”) and transfer agent (the “transfer agent”).
		

		
			 
		

		
			The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the notes and the indenture and does not purport to be complete. This summary is subject to, and is qualified by reference to, the provisions of the notes and the indenture, including the definitions of certain terms used in these documents. We urge you to read these documents because they, and not this description, define your rights as a holder of the notes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			For purposes of this description, references to “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer only to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd., and not to its subsidiaries and references to “holders” refer to holders of the notes described herein.
		

		
			 
		

		
			General
		

		
			 
		

		
			The notes will:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						be our general unsecured, senior obligations;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						initially be limited to an aggregate principal amount of US$85.0 million;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						bear cash interest from May 17, 2019 at an annual rate of 4.5% payable in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2019;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						be subject to repurchase for cash by us at the option of the holders on June 1, 2021 or following a fundamental change (as defined below under “— Fundamental Change Permits Holders to Require Us to Repurchase Notes”), in each case at a price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date or fundamental change repurchase date, as the case may be;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						mature on June 1, 2024, unless earlier converted or repurchased;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						be issued in denominations of US$1,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						be represented by one or more registered notes in global form, but in certain limited circumstances may be represented by notes in definitive form as described below under “— Book-Entry, Settlement and Clearance.”

				

		
			 
		

		
			The notes may be converted at any time prior to the close of business on the third business day immediately preceding the maturity date at the applicable conversion rate. The conversion rate will initially be 52.0833 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) (each representing as of the date hereof four ordinary shares, par value US$0.00002 per ordinary share, of JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.) per US$1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately US$19.20 per ADS), subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.
		

		
			 
		

		
			

		 

		

			 

		

 
		

		
			 
		

		
			As described below under “— Conversion Rights — Settlement Upon Conversion,” upon conversion of a note, we will deliver ADSs, together with a cash payment in lieu of any fractional ADSs. Converting holders will not receive any additional cash payment or additional ADSs representing interest, if any, accrued and unpaid to the conversion date except under the limited circumstances described below under “— Conversion Rights — General.”
		

		
			 
		

		
			We may, without the consent of the holders, reopen the indenture for the notes and issue additional notes under the indenture with the same terms as the notes offered hereby in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that if any additional notes are not fungible with the notes offered hereby for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then such additional notes will have a separate ISIN number. We may also from time to time repurchase notes in open market purchases or negotiated transactions without prior notice to holders. Any notes repurchased by us will be retired and no longer outstanding under the indenture.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The indenture will not limit the amount of debt that we or our subsidiaries may issue under the indenture or otherwise. The indenture will not contain any financial covenants and does not restrict us from paying dividends or issuing or repurchasing our other securities. Other than restrictions described under “— Fundamental Change Permits Holders to Require Us to Repurchase Notes” and “— Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets” below, and except for the provisions set forth under “— Conversion Rights — Adjustment to Conversion Rate Upon Conversion In Connection With a Make-Whole Fundamental Change,” the indenture will not contain any covenants or other provisions designed to afford holders of the notes protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction involving us or in the event of a decline in our credit rating as a result of a takeover, recapitalization, highly leveraged transaction or similar restructuring involving us that could adversely affect the holders of the notes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			We do not intend to list the notes on a national securities exchange or to arrange for the notes to be quoted on any automated interdealer quotation system.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Payments on the Notes; Paying Agent and Registrar
		

		
			 
		

		
			We will pay or cause to be paid principal of and interest in full on physical or book- entry notes at the office or agency designated by us in London, United Kingdom. We have initially designated the trustee as our paying agent and registrar and its agency at the corporate trust office of the trustee in London, United Kingdom, as a place where notes may be presented for payment or for registration of transfer. We may, however, change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the holders of the notes, and we may act as paying agent or registrar.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Interest on physical notes will be payable (1) to holders holding physical notes having an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000 or less, by check mailed to the holders of such notes and (2) to holders holding physical notes having an aggregate principal amount of more than US$1,000,000, either by check mailed to each holder or, upon application by a holder to the registrar not later than the relevant record date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to that holder’s account, which application shall remain in effect until the holder notifies, in writing, the registrar to the contrary.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The registered holder of a note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.
		

		
			

		 

		

			2

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			We will pay principal of and interest on notes in global form registered in the name of or held by a common depositary for Euroclear Bank SA/NV (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”) or its nominee in immediately available funds to a common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of such global note.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Transfer and Exchange
		

		
			 
		

		
			A holder of notes may transfer or exchange notes at the office of the registrar in accordance with the indenture. The registrar and the trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents. No service charge will be imposed by us, the trustee or the registrar for any registration of transfer or exchange of notes. You may not sell or otherwise transfer notes, ADSs issuable upon conversion of notes, or ordinary shares represented thereby, except in compliance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the global note and the indenture. We are not required to transfer or exchange any note surrendered for conversion or for repurchase by us on June 1, 2021 or upon the occurrence of a fundamental change.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Interest
		

		
			 
		

		
			The notes will bear cash interest at a rate of 4.5 per year until maturity. Interest on the notes will accrue from May 17, 2019 or from the most recent date on which interest has been paid or duly provided for. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning December 1, 2019.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Interest will be paid to the person in whose name a note is registered at the close of business on May 15 or November 15 (whether or not a business day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the relevant interest payment date. Interest on the notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30- day months. If any interest payment date, the maturity date, or any earlier repurchase date for a required repurchase of notes by us either upon a fundamental change or on June 1, 2021 falls on a date that is not a business day, the required payment will be made on the next succeeding business day and no interest or other amount will be paid as a result of any such postponement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The term “business day” means, with respect to any note, any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in London, United Kingdom, or in the relevant city, as the case may be, are authorized or required by law or executive order to close or be closed and which is a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer system (the “TARGET2 system”), or any successor thereto, operates.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all references to interest herein include additional interest, if any, payable as described under “— No Registration Rights; Additional Interest” or at our election as the sole remedy during certain periods for an event of default relating to the failure to comply with our reporting obligations as described under “— Events of Default.”
		

		
			

		 

		

			3

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			Additional Amounts
		

		
			 
		

		
			All payments and deliveries made by us or any successor to us under or with respect to the notes, including, but not limited to, payments of principal, payments of interest and deliveries of ADSs (together with cash payments in lieu of any fractional ADSs) upon conversion, will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or within any jurisdiction in which we or any successor are, for tax purposes, organized or resident or doing business in or through which payment is made (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) (each, as applicable, a “relevant taxing jurisdiction”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by regulation or governmental policy having the force of law. In the event that any such withholding or deduction is so required, we will pay to the holder of each note such additional amounts (“additional amounts”) as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount received by the beneficial owner after such withholding or deduction (and after deducting any taxes on the additional amounts) will equal the amounts that would have been received by such beneficial owner had no such withholding or deduction been required; provided that no additional amounts will be payable:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(1)

					
					
						for or on account of:

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(a)

					
					
						any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for:

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(i)

			Ranking
		

		
			 
		

		
			The notes will be our general unsecured obligations that rank senior in right of payment to all of our existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes. The notes will rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future liabilities that are not so subordinated. The notes will effectively rank junior to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness. In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or other winding up, our assets that secure such secured indebtedness will be available to pay obligations on the notes only after such secured indebtedness has been repaid in full. We advise you that there may not be sufficient assets remaining to pay amounts due on any or all the notes then outstanding. The notes will also be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities and commitments (including trade payables and lease obligations) of our subsidiaries.

			Conversion Rights
		

		
			 
		

		
			General
		

		
			 
		

		
			Holders may convert their notes at the applicable conversion rate at any time prior to the close of business on the third business day immediately preceding the maturity date for such notes. The conversion rate will initially be 52.0833 ADSs per US$1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately US$19.20 per ADS), subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events as described below. Upon conversion of a note, we will satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering ADSs, together with a cash payment in lieu of any fractional ADSs, as set forth below under “— Settlement Upon Conversion.” The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch will initially act as the conversion agent.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The conversion rate and the corresponding conversion price in effect at any given time are referred to as the “applicable conversion rate” and the “applicable conversion price,” respectively, and will be subject to adjustment as described below. The applicable conversion price at any given time will be computed by dividing US$1,000 by the applicable conversion rate at such time. A holder may convert all or any portion of the aggregate principal amount of such holder’s notes so long as such portion is an integral multiple of US$1,000 principal amount.
		

		
			 
		

		
			If the holder of a note has submitted such note for repurchase on June 1, 2021 or upon a fundamental change, the holder may convert such note only if that holder first withdraws its repurchase notice.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Upon conversion, a converting holder will not receive any additional cash payment or additional ADSs representing accrued and unpaid interest, if any, except as described below. We will not deliver fractional ADSs upon conversion of notes. Instead, we will pay cash in lieu of fractional ADSs as described under “— Settlement Upon Conversion.” Our payment or delivery, as the case may be, to you of the ADSs, together with any cash payment in lieu of any fractional ADSs into which a note is convertible, will be deemed to satisfy in full our obligation to pay:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the principal amount of the note; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the conversion date.

				

		
			 
		

		
			As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the conversion date will be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, if notes are converted after 3:00 p.m., London time, on a record date for the payment of interest, holders of such notes at 3:00 p.m., London time, on such record date will receive the full amount of interest payable on such notes on the corresponding interest payment date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from 3:00 p.m., London time, on any record date, to 9:00 a.m., London time, on the immediately following interest payment date, must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the notes so converted; provided that no such payment need be made:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if the notes are surrendered for conversion after 3:00 p.m., London time, on the record date immediately preceding the maturity date and before 3:00 p.m., London time on the third business day immediately preceding the maturity date;

				

		
			

		 

		

			6

		

  
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if we have specified a fundamental change repurchase date (as defined below) that is after a record date and on or prior to the business day immediately following the corresponding interest payment date; or

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						to the extent of any defaulted amounts, if any defaulted amounts exist at the time of conversion with respect to such note.

				

		
			 
		

		
			If a holder converts notes, we will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of the ADSs upon the conversion, unless such tax is due because the holder requests such ADSs to be issued in a name other than the holder’s name, in which case the holder will pay such tax. We will pay any ADS depositary fees for issuance of the ADSs.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Conversion Procedures
		

		
			 
		

		
			To convert a beneficial interest in a global note, the holder must comply with procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream in effect at that time for book-entry transfer to the conversion agent through Euroclear and Clearstream facilities and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next interest payment date to which the holder is not entitled and, if required, pay all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax, if any, which may be payable in respect of any transfer involving the issue or delivery of the ADSs in the name of a person other than the holder of such note.
		

		
			 
		

		
			To convert a physical note, the holder must:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						complete and manually sign the conversion notice, a form of which is included on the reverse side of the note, or a facsimile of the conversion notice;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						deliver the conversion notice, which is irrevocable, and the note to the conversion agent;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if required by the conversion agent, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and ADS delivery instructions if required by the ADS depositary;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next interest payment date to which the holder is not entitled; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if required, pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect of any transfer involving the issue or delivery of the ADSs in the name of a person other than the holder of such note.

				

		
			 
		

		
			We refer to the date a holder complies with the relevant procedures for conversion described above as the “conversion date.”
		

		
			 
		

		
			If a holder has already delivered a repurchase notice as described under either “— Repurchase of Notes by Us at the Option of the Holder” or “— Fundamental Change Permits Holders to Require Us to Repurchase Notes” with respect to a note, the holder may not surrender that note for conversion until the holder has withdrawn the relevant repurchase notice in accordance with the indenture. If a holder submits its notes for repurchase, the holder’s right to withdraw the repurchase notice and convert the notes that are subject to repurchase will terminate at the close of business on the third business day immediately preceding June 1, 2021 or the relevant fundamental change repurchase date, as the case may be.
		

		
			

		 

		

			7

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			Settlement Upon Conversion
		

		
			 
		

		
			Upon conversion, we will deliver to holders, in respect of each US$1,000 principal amount of notes being converted, a number of ADSs equal to the applicable conversion rate as of the relevant conversion date, together with a cash payment in lieu of any fractional ADSs issuable upon conversion based on the last reported sale price of our ADSs on the relevant conversion date. We will deliver the consideration due in respect of any conversion on the fifth business day immediately following the relevant conversion date.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Each conversion will be deemed to have been effected as to any notes surrendered for conversion on the conversion date, and the person in whose name the ADSs shall be issuable upon such conversion will become the holder of record of such ADSs as of the close of business on such conversion date.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The “last reported sale price” of our ADSs on any date means the closing sale price per ADS (or if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) on that date as reported in composite transactions for the principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange on which our ADSs are traded. If our ADSs are not listed for trading on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange on the relevant date, the “last reported sale price” will be the average of the last quoted bid and ask prices for our ADSs in the over-the-counter market on the relevant date as reported by OTC Markets Group Inc. or a similar organization. If our ADSs are not so quoted, the “last reported sale price” will be the average of the mid-point of the last bid and ask prices for our ADSs on the relevant date from each of at least three nationally recognized independent investment banking firms selected by us for this purpose.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Conversion Rate Adjustments
		

		
			 
		

		
			As of the date of the notes purchase agreement, each of our ADSs represents four of our ordinary shares. If the number of our ordinary shares represented by our ADSs is changed for any reason other than one or more of the events described below, we will make an appropriate adjustment to the conversion rate such that the number of our ordinary shares represented by the ADSs deliverable upon conversion of any notes is not affected by such change.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Notwithstanding the adjustment provisions described below, if we distribute to all or substantially all holders of our ordinary shares any cash, rights, options, warrants, shares of capital stock or similar equity interest, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of ours (but excluding expiring rights (as defined below)) and, in lieu of a corresponding distribution to holders of our ADSs, our ADSs will instead represent, in addition to our ordinary shares, such cash, rights, options, warrants, shares of capital stock or similar equity interest, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of ours, then a conversion rate adjustment described below will not made unless and until a corresponding distribution (if any) is made to holders of our ADSs, in which case such conversion rate adjustment will be based on the distribution made to the holders of our ADSs and not on the distribution made to the holders of our ordinary shares. However, in the event that we issue or distribute to all or substantially all holders of our ordinary shares any expiring rights, notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, we will adjust the conversion rate pursuant to the provisions set forth opposite clause (2) below (in the case of expiring rights entitling holders of our ordinary shares for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance to subscribe for or purchase our ordinary shares or ADSs) or clause (3) below (in the case of all other expiring rights). “Expiring rights” means any rights, options or warrants to purchase our ordinary shares or ADSs that expire on or prior to the maturity date of the notes.
		

		
			

		 

		

			8

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			For the avoidance of doubt, if any event described in clauses (1) through (5) below results in a change to the number of our ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, then such a change will be deemed to satisfy our obligation to adjust the conversion rate on account of such event to the extent, but only to the extent, that such change reflects the adjustment to the conversion rate that would otherwise have been required on account of such event.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Subject to the foregoing, the conversion rate will be adjusted as described below, except that we will not make any adjustments to the conversion rate if holders of the notes participate (other than in the case of a share split or share combination), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of our ADSs and solely as a result of holding the notes, in any of the transactions described below without having to convert their notes as if they held a number of ADSs equal to the conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the effective time for such adjustment, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of notes held by such holder.
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(1)

					
					
						If we exclusively issue our ordinary shares as a dividend or distribution on our ordinary shares, or if we effect a share split or share combination, the conversion rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

				

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			 
		

		
			where,
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR0  =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the close of the business on the record date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the adjustment effective date of such share split or combination, as applicable;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR1  =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately after the close of the business on such record date or immediately after the open of business on such adjustment effective date, as applicable;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						OS0  =

					
					
						the number of our ordinary shares outstanding immediately prior to the close of the business on such record date or immediately prior to the open of business on such adjustment effective date, as applicable; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						OS1  =

					
					
						the number of our ordinary shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Any adjustment made under this clause (1) will become effective immediately after the close of the business on the record date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the adjustment effective date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this clause (1) is declared but not so paid or made, the conversion rate will be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date our board of directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the conversion rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

						(2)

					
					
						If we issue to all or substantially all holders of our ordinary shares or ADSs any rights, options or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance to subscribe for or purchase our ordinary shares or ADSs at a price per ordinary share or ADSs less than the average of the last reported sale prices of our ADSs (in the case of any rights, options or warrants entitling holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase our ordinary shares, divided by the number of our ordinary shares then represented by one ADS) for each trading day during the 10 consecutive trading-day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the conversion rate will be increased based on the following formula:

				

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			 
		

		
			where,
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR0 =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the close of the business on the record date for such issuance;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR1  =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately after the close of the business on such record date;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						OS0  =

					
					
						the number of our ordinary shares outstanding immediately prior to the close of the business on such record date;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						X =

					
					
						the total number of our ordinary shares issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants or, in the case of any rights, options or warrants entitling holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase our ADSs, the total number of our ordinary shares represented by the total number of our ADSs issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						Y =

					
					
						the number of our ordinary shares equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the last reported sale prices of our ADSs (divided by the number of our ordinary shares then represented by one ADS) for each trading day during the 10 consecutive trading-day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Any increase made under this clause (2) will be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and will become effective immediately after the close of the business on the record date for such issuance. To the extent that our ordinary shares or ADSs, as the case may be, are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the conversion rate will be decreased to the conversion rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of our ordinary shares or ADSs, as the case may be, actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the conversion rate will be decreased to be the conversion rate that would then be in effect if such record date for such issuance had not occurred.
		

		
			

		 

		

			10

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase our ordinary shares or ADSs at less than such average of the last reported sale prices of our ADSs (in the case of any rights, options or warrants entitling holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase our ordinary shares, divided by the number of our ordinary shares then represented by one ADS) for each trading day during the 10 consecutive trading-day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such ordinary shares or ADSs, as the case may be, there will be taken into account any consideration received by us for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by our board of directors.
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(3)

					
					
						If we distribute shares of our capital stock, evidences of our indebtedness, other assets or property of ours or rights, options or warrants to acquire our capital stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of our ordinary shares, excluding:

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants as to which an adjustment has been effected pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment has been effected pursuant to clause (4) or (5) below; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						spin-offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this clause (3) will apply; then the conversion rate will be increased based on the following formula:

				

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			 
		

		
			where,
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR0  =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the close of the business on the record date for such distribution;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR1  =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately after the close of the business on such record date;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						SP0  =

					
					
						the average of the last reported sale prices of our ADSs (divided by the number of our ordinary shares then represented by one ADS) for each trading day during the 10 consecutive trading-day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the ex- dividend date for such distribution; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						FMV =

					
					
						the fair market value (as determined by our board of directors) of the shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants distributed with respect to each outstanding ordinary share on the ex-dividend date for such distribution.

				

		
			

		 

		

			11

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			Any increase made under the portion of this clause (3) above will become effective immediately after the close of the business on the record date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the conversion rate will be decreased to be the conversion rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.
		

		
			 
		

		
			If our board of directors determines the "FMV" (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this clause (3) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, in doing so it will consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the last reported sale prices of our ADSs over the 10 consecutive trading-day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Notwithstanding the foregoing, if "FMV" (as defined above) is equal to or greater than "SP0" (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each holder of a note will receive, in respect of each US$1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of our ADSs, the amount and kind of our capital stock, evidences of our indebtedness, other assets or property of ours or rights, options or warrants to acquire our capital stock or other securities that such holder would have received if such holder owned a number of ADSs equal to the conversion rate in effect on the record date for the distribution.
		

		
			 
		

		
			With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this clause (3) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on our ordinary shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit, where such capital stock or similar equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon consummation of the spin-off) on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange, which we refer to as a "spin-off," the conversion rate will be increased based on the following formula:
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			 
		

		
			where,
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR0  =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the valuation period (as defined below);

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR1  =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately after the end of the valuation period;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						FMV0  =

					
					
						the average of the last reported sale prices of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of our ordinary shares applicable to one ordinary share (determined for purposes of the definition of last reported sale price as if such capital stock or similar equity interest were our ADSs) for each trading day during the first 10 consecutive trading- day period beginning on, and including, the ex-dividend date of the spin- off (the "valuation period"); and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						MP0  =

					
					
						the average of the last reported sale prices of our ADSs (divided by the number of our ordinary shares then represented by one ADS) over the valuation period.

				

		
			

		 

		

			12

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			The increase to the conversion rate under the preceding paragraph will be determined on the last trading day of the valuation period but will be given effect immediately after the open of business on the ex- dividend date for the spin-off; provided that in respect of any conversion during the valuation period, references in the portion of this clause (3) related to spin-offs to 10 trading days will be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of trading days as have elapsed from, and including, the ex-dividend date of such spin-off to, and including, the conversion date in determining the applicable conversion rate.
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(4)

					
					
						If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of our ordinary shares, the conversion rate will be increased based on the following formula:

				

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			 
		

		
			where,
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR0  =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the close of the business on the record date for such dividend or distribution;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						CR1  =

					
					
						the conversion rate in effect immediately after the close of the business on the record date for such dividend or distribution;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						SP0  =

					
					
						the average of the last reported sale prices of our ADSs (divided by the number of our ordinary shares then represented by one ADS) for each trading day during the 10 consecutive trading-day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						C =

					
					
						the amount in cash per ordinary share that we distribute to holders of our ordinary shares.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Any increase made under this clause (4) will become effective immediately after the close of the business on the record date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the conversion rate will be decreased, effective as of the date our board of directors determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to the conversion rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Notwithstanding the foregoing, if "C" (as defined above) is equal to or greater than "SP0" (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each holder of a note will receive, for each US$1,000 principal amount of notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of our ADSs, the amount of cash that such holder would have received if such holder owned a number of ADSs equal to the conversion rate on the record date for such cash dividend or distribution.
		

		
			

		 

		

			13

		

  
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(5)

					
					
						If we or any of our subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for our ordinary shares or ADSs, if the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per ordinary share or ADS exceeds the average of the last reported sale prices of our ADSs (in the case of a tender or exchange offer for our ordinary shares, divided by the number of our ordinary shares then represented by one ADS) for each trading day during the 10 consecutive trading-day period beginning on, and including, the trading day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the conversion rate will be increased based on the following formula:

			The adjustment to the conversion rate under the preceding paragraph will be determined at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the 10th trading day immediately following, and including, the trading day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires but will be given effect immediately after the open of business on the trading day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that in respect of any conversion within the 10 trading days immediately following, and including, the trading day next succeeding the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references in this clause (5) to 10 trading days will be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of trading days as have elapsed from, and including, the trading day next succeeding the expiration date of such tender or exchange offer to, and including, the conversion date in determining the applicable conversion rate.
		

		
			

		 

		

			14

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			Except as stated herein, we will not adjust the conversion rate for the issuance of our ordinary shares or ADSs, any securities convertible into or exchangeable for our ordinary shares or ADSs, or the right to purchase our ordinary shares or ADSs or such convertible or exchangeable securities.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any conversion rate adjustment becomes effective as described above, and a holder that has converted any notes with a conversion date occurring on or after the date such conversion rate adjustment becomes effective will participate, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of our ADSs and solely as a result of holding the ADSs issuable upon conversion of such notes, in the transaction or event giving rise to such conversion rate adjustment, then such conversion rate adjustment will not be made with respect to such notes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			“Trading day” means a day (i) during which trading in our ADSs (or other relevant securities) generally occurs on The New York Stock Exchange or, if our ADSs (or other relevant securities) are not then listed on The New York Stock Exchange, on the other principal United States national or regional securities exchange on which our ADSs (or other relevant securities) are then listed or, if our ADSs (or other relevant securities) are not then listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange, on the other principal market on which our ADSs (or other relevant securities) are then listed or admitted for trading, and (ii) on which the last reported sale price for our ADSs (or other relevant securities) is available on such securities exchange or market. If our ADSs (or other relevant securities) are not so listed or admitted for trading, “trading day” means a “business day.”
		

		
			 
		

		
			The “ex-dividend date” with respect to any issuance, dividend or distribution to holders of our ordinary shares is the first date on which our ADSs trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive the corresponding issuance, dividend or distribution in question from the depositary for the ADSs or, if applicable, from the seller of our ADSs on such exchange or market (in the form of due bills or otherwise) as determined by such exchange or market.
		

		
			 
		

		
			As used in this section, the “adjustment effective date” with respect to any share split or share combination in respect of our ordinary shares means the first date on which our ADSs trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, reflecting such share split or share combination.
		

		
			 
		

		
			“Record date” means, with respect to any issuance, dividend or distribution to holders of our ordinary shares, the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such issuance, dividend or distribution (whether such date is fixed by our board of directors, by statute, by contract or otherwise).
		

		
			 
		

		
			To the extent permitted by law and the rules of The New York Stock Exchange or any other securities exchange on which any of our securities are then listed, we are permitted to increase the conversion rate of the notes by any amount for a period of at least 20 business days if our board of directors determines that such increase would be in our best interest, which determination will be conclusive. We may also (but are not required to) increase the conversion rate to avoid or diminish income tax to holders of our ordinary shares or ADSs or rights to purchase our ordinary shares or ADSs in connection with a dividend or distribution of our ordinary shares or ADSs (or rights to acquire our ordinary shares or ADSs) or similar event.
		

		
			

		 

		

			15

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			To the extent that we have a rights plan in effect upon conversion of the notes into ADSs, holders of the notes will receive, in addition to ADSs received in connection with such conversion, the rights under the rights plan, unless prior to any conversion, the rights have separated from our ordinary shares, in which case, and only in such case, the conversion rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if we distributed to all holders of our ordinary shares, shares of our capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights or warrants as described in clause (3) above, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
		

		
			 
		

		
			If our ordinary shares cease to be represented by American Depositary Receipts issued under a depositary receipt program sponsored by us, all references herein to our ADSs will be deemed to have been replaced by a reference to the number of our ordinary shares (and other property, if any) represented by our ADSs on the last day on which our ADSs represented our ordinary shares and as if our ordinary shares and the other property had been distributed to holders of our ADSs on that day.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The conversion rate will not be adjusted:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						upon the issuance of any of our ordinary shares or ADSs pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on our securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in ordinary shares or ADSs under any plan;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						upon the issuance of any ordinary shares or ADSs or options or rights to purchase those ordinary shares or ADSs pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by us or any of our subsidiaries;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						upon the issuance of any ordinary shares or ADSs pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in the preceding bullet and outstanding as of the date the notes were first issued;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						for a change solely in the par value of our ordinary shares; or

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Adjustments to the conversion rate will be calculated to the nearest 1⁄10,000th of an ADS. We will not be required to make an adjustment to the conversion rate unless the adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in the conversion rate. However, we will carry forward any adjustments that are less than 1% of the conversion rate and make such carried-forward adjustments, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%, on (x) December 31 of each calendar year and (y) the conversion date for any conversion of notes.
		

		
			

		 

		

			16

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			Whenever the conversion rate is adjusted as described above, we will notify the trustee, the conversion agent and the paying agent of such conversion rate adjustment and file with the trustee, the conversion agent and the paying agent an officers' certificate and the trustee, the conversion agent and the paying agent may conclusively rely on the accuracy of the conversion rate adjustment provided by us. Unless and until a responsible officer of the trustee shall have received such officers' certificate, neither the trustee, the conversion agent nor the paying agent will be deemed to have knowledge of such conversion rate adjustment and may assume without inquiry that the last conversion rate of which it has been notified by us is still in effect. Promptly after providing such notice to the trustee, the conversion agent and the paying agent we will provide notice of such conversion rate adjustment and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective to all holders of the notes at their addresses shown in the register of the registrar within 5 business days of the date on which the conversion rate adjustment is made. Our failure to deliver such notice will not affect the legality or validity of any such conversion rate adjustment.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The trustee, the conversion agent and any other conversion agent will not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any holder of notes to perform calculations or to determine the conversion rate or whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the conversion rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed. The trustee and the conversion agent will not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any ADSs, or of any securities or other property, that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any note; and the trustee and the conversion agent will make no representations with respect thereto in the indenture. Neither the trustee nor the conversion agent will be responsible for any failure by us to issue, transfer or deliver any ADSs, or the ordinary shares represented thereby, or share certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of our duties, responsibilities or covenants under the indenture. Neither the trustee nor the conversion agent shall have any liability for and shall be held harmless with respect to timely receipt by holders of repurchase consideration and conversion consideration in as much as the conversion agent must rely on timely receipt from us.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the trustee nor any conversion agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture relating either to the kind or amount of ADSs or securities or property (including cash) receivable by holders of the notes upon the conversion of their notes after any event or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the officers' certificate (which we will be obligated to file with the trustee prior to the execution of any supplemental indenture) and opinion of counsel with respect thereto. Neither the trustee nor the conversion agent has any duty to determine how or when any adjustment described above should be made. Neither the trustee nor the conversion agent shall be responsible for our failure to comply with the indenture.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of Our Ordinary Shares
		

		
			 
		

		
			In the event of:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						any recapitalization, reclassification or change of our ordinary shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination);

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						any consolidation, merger or combination involving us;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						any sale, lease or other transfer to another person of all or substantially all of our property and assets; or

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						any statutory share exchange;

				

		
			

		 

		

			17

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			in each case, as a result of which our ADSs would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof), then, at and after the effective time of the transaction, the right to convert each US$1,000 principal amount of notes will be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of notes into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of ADSs equal to the conversion rate immediately prior to such transaction would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “reference property”) upon such transaction. If the transaction causes our ADSs to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), the reference property into which the notes will be convertible will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of our ADSs that affirmatively make such an election. We will notify holders, the trustee and the conversion agent of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. We will agree in the indenture not to become a party to any such transaction unless its terms are consistent with the foregoing.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Adjustments of Prices
		

		
			 
		

		
			Whenever any provision of the indenture requires us to calculate the last reported sale prices over a span of multiple days (including the “ADS prices” (as defined below) for purposes of a make-whole fundamental change), our board of directors will make appropriate adjustments to each to account for any adjustment to the conversion rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the conversion rate where the record date of the event occurs, at any time during the period when the last reported sale prices or ADS prices are to be calculated.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Adjustment to Conversion Rate Upon Conversion In Connection With a Make-Whole Fundamental Change
		

		
			 
		

		
			If a “fundamental change” (as defined below and determined after giving effect to any exceptions to or exclusions from such definition, but without regard to the proviso in clause (2) of such definition, a “make-whole fundamental change”) occurs and a holder elects to convert its notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change, we will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for the notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional ADSs (the “additional ADSs”), as described below. A conversion of notes will be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such make-whole fundamental change if the notice of conversion of the notes is received by the conversion agent from, and including, the effective date of the make-whole fundamental change to, and including, the third business day immediately prior to the related fundamental change repurchase date (or, in the case of a make-whole fundamental change that would have been a fundamental change but for the proviso in clause (2) of the definition thereof, the 35th trading day immediately following the effective date of such make-whole fundamental change).
		

		
			 
		

		
			We will notify holders, the trustee, the conversion agent and the paying agent of the effective date of any make-whole fundamental change and issue a press release announcing such effective date no later than five business days after such effective date.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The number of additional ADSs, if any, by which the conversion rate will be increased will be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the make whole fundamental change occurs or becomes effective (the “effective date”) and the price paid (or deemed to be paid) per ADS in the make-whole fundamental change (the “ADS price”). If the holders of our ADSs receive only cash in a make-whole fundamental change described in clause (2) of the definition of fundamental change, the ADS price will be the cash amount paid per ADS. Otherwise, the ADS price will be the average of the last reported sale prices of our ADSs for each trading day during the five trading-day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the effective date of the make-whole fundamental change.
		

		
			

		 

		

			18

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			The ADS prices set forth in the column headings of the table below will be adjusted as of any date on which the conversion rate of the notes is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted ADS prices will equal the ADS prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the conversion rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the ADS price adjustment and the denominator of which is the conversion rate as so adjusted. The number of additional ADSs will be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the conversion rate as set forth under “— Conversion Rate Adjustments.”
		

		
			 
		

		
			The following table sets forth the number of additional ADSs to be added to the conversion rate for each ADS price and effective date set forth below:

			The exact ADS prices and effective dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:
		

		
			 
		

		
			if the ADS price is between two ADS prices in the table or the effective date is between two effective dates in the table, the number of additional ADSs will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of additional ADSs set forth for the higher and lower ADS prices and the earlier and later effective dates based on a 365-day year, as applicable;
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if the ADS price is greater than US$80.00 per ADS (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the ADS prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no additional ADSs will be added to the conversion rate; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if the ADS price is less than US$16.00 per ADS (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the ADS prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no additional ADSs will be added to the conversion rate.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of ADSs issuable upon conversion exceed 62.5000 per US$1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion rate as set forth under “— Conversion Rate Adjustments.”
		

		
			 
		

		
			Our obligation to satisfy the additional ADSs requirement could be considered a penalty, in which case the enforceability thereof would be subject to general principles of reasonableness and equitable remedies.

			Repurchase of Notes by Us at the Option of the Holder
		

		
			 
		

		
			Holders will have the right, at their option, to require us to repurchase for cash all of their notes, or any portion of the principal thereof that is equal to US$1,000 or an integral multiple of US$1,000, on June 1, 2021 (the “repurchase date”). We will be required to repurchase any outstanding notes for which a holder delivers a written repurchase notice to the paying agent. This notice must be delivered during the period that is 20 business days immediately preceding the repurchase date until the close of business on the third business day immediately preceding the repurchase date. If a repurchase notice is given and withdrawn during such period, we will not be obligated to repurchase the related notes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The repurchase price we are required to pay will be equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date; provided that we will pay the full amount of such accrued and unpaid interest not to the holder submitting the notes for repurchase on the repurchase date but instead to the holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding record date for the payment of interest.
		

		
			 
		

		
			On or before the 20th business day prior to the repurchase date, we will provide to the trustee, the paying agent and to all holders of the notes at their addresses shown in the register of the registrar, and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law, a notice stating, among other things:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the last date on which a holder may exercise the repurchase right;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the repurchase price;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the name and address of the conversion and paying agents; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the procedures that holders must follow to require us to repurchase their notes.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Simultaneously with providing such notice, we will publish a notice containing this information in a newspaper of general circulation in London or publish the information on our website or through such other public medium as we may use at that time.
		

		
			 
		

		
			A notice electing to require us to repurchase notes must state:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if physical notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the notes or, if not certificated, the notice must comply with appropriate Euroclear and Clearstream procedures;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the portion of the principal amount of notes to be repurchased, which must be US$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						that the notes are to be repurchased by us pursuant to the applicable provisions of the notes and the indenture.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Holders may withdraw any repurchase notice (in whole or in part) by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the paying agent prior to the close of business on the third business day immediately preceding the repurchase date. The notice of withdrawal must state:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the principal amount of the withdrawn notes;

				

		
			

		 

		

			20

		

  
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if physical notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn notes or, if not certificated, the notice must comply with appropriate Euroclear and Clearstream procedures; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the principal amount, if any, that remains subject to the repurchase notice, which must be US$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Holders must either effect book-entry transfer or deliver the notes, together with necessary endorsements, to the office of the paying agent after delivery of the repurchase notice to receive payment of the repurchase price. Holders will receive payment on the later of (i) the repurchase date and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of the notes. If the paying agent holds money sufficient to pay the repurchase price of the notes on the repurchase date, then:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the notes will cease to be outstanding and interest will cease to accrue (whether or not book-entry transfer of the notes is made or whether or not the note is delivered to the paying agent); and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						all other rights of the holder will terminate (other than the right to receive the repurchase price).

				

		
			 
		

		
			We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to repurchase the notes on the repurchase date or upon a fundamental change, and our future debt may contain limitations on our ability to repurchase the notes. In addition, our ability to satisfy our repurchase obligations may be limited by our ability to obtain funds as a result of restrictions on dividends from our subsidiaries, the terms of our then existing borrowing arrangements or otherwise. If we fail to repurchase the notes when required, we will be in default under the indenture.
		

		
			 
		

		
			In connection with any repurchase of notes on the repurchase date, we will, if required:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						comply with the provisions of the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable.

				

		
			 
		

		
			No notes may be repurchased at the option of holders on the repurchase date if the principal amount of the notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by us in the payment of the repurchase price with respect to such notes).
		

		
			 
		

		
			Fundamental Change Permits Holders to Require Us to Repurchase Notes
		

		
			 
		

		
			If a “fundamental change” (as defined below in this section) occurs at any time, holders of the notes will have the right, at their option, to require us to repurchase for cash all of their notes, or any portion of the outstanding principal amount thereof that is equal to US$1,000 or an integral multiple of US$1,000. The price we are required to pay will be equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date (unless the fundamental change repurchase date is after a record date for the payment of interest, and on or prior to the interest payment date to which such record date relates, in which case we will instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to the holder of record on such record date and the fundamental change repurchase price will be equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes to be repurchased). The fundamental change repurchase date will be a date specified by us that is not less than 20 or more than 35 calendar days following the date of our fundamental change notice as described below.
		

		
			

		 

		

			21

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			A “fundamental change” will be deemed to have occurred at the time after the notes are originally issued that any of the following occurs:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(i)

					
					
						a “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, other than our founders, us, our subsidiaries and our and their employee benefit plans, has become the direct or indirect ultimate “beneficial owner,” as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of our ordinary share capital (including our ADSs) representing more than 50% of the voting power of our ordinary share capital or (ii) our founders have collectively become the direct or indirect ultimate “beneficial owner,” as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of our ordinary share capital (including any ADSs) representing more than 55% of the voting power of our ordinary share capital;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(2)

					
					
						consummation of (A) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of our ordinary shares or ADSs (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination and changes to the number of our ordinary shares represented by each ADS) as a result of which our ordinary shares or ADSs would be converted into, or exchanged for, shares, other securities, other property or assets, (B) any share exchange, consolidation or merger involving us pursuant to which our ordinary shares or ADSs will be converted into cash, securities or other property, or (C) any sale, lease or other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of our and our subsidiaries' consolidated assets, taken as a whole, to any person other than one of our subsidiaries; provided, however, that a transaction described in clause (B) in which the holders of all classes of our common equity immediately prior to such transaction (each such holder, a “pre-transaction holder”) own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of all classes of common equity of the continuing or surviving corporation or transferee immediately after such event shall not be a fundamental change, so long as the proportion of the respective ownership of each pre-transaction holder remains substantially the same relative to all other pre-transaction holders;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(3)

					
					
						our shareholders approve any plan or proposal for our liquidation or dissolution; or

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(4)

					
					
						our ADSs (or other common equity or ADSs underlying the notes) cease to be listed or quoted on any of The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market, The NASDAQ Global Market (or any of their respective successors) or another U.S. national securities exchange.

				

		
			 
		

		
			A fundamental change as a result of clause (2) above will not be deemed to have occurred, however, if at least 90% of the consideration received or to be received by holders of our ADSs, excluding cash payments for fractional ADSs and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters' appraisal rights, in connection with such transaction or transactions consists of shares of common equity or ADSs that are listed or quoted on any of The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market, The NASDAQ Global Market (or any of their respective successors) or another U.S. national securities exchange or will be so listed or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such transaction or transactions (these securities being referred to as “publicly traded securities”) and as a result of this transaction or transactions the notes become convertible into such consideration, excluding cash payments for fractional ADSs.
		

		
			

		 

		

			22

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			On or before the 20th day after the occurrence of a fundamental change, we will provide to all holders of the notes, the trustee, the conversion agent and the paying agent a notice of the occurrence of the fundamental change and of the resulting repurchase right. Such notice shall state, among other things:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the events causing a fundamental change;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the effective date of the fundamental change;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the last date on which a holder may exercise the repurchase right;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the fundamental change repurchase price;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the fundamental change repurchase date;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if applicable, the name and address of the paying agent and the conversion agent;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if applicable, the applicable conversion rate and any adjustments to the applicable conversion rate;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if applicable, that the notes with respect to which a fundamental change repurchase notice has been delivered by a holder may be converted only if the holder withdraws the fundamental change repurchase notice in accordance with the terms of the indenture; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the procedures that holders must follow to require us to repurchase their notes.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Simultaneously with providing such notice, we will publish a notice containing this information in a newspaper of general circulation in London or publish the information on our website or through such other public medium as we may use at that time.
		

		
			 
		

		
			To exercise the fundamental change repurchase right, holders of the notes must deliver, on or before the third business day immediately preceding the fundamental change repurchase date, the notes to be repurchased, duly endorsed for transfer, together with a written repurchase notice in the form included on the reverse side of the notes duly completed, to the paying agent. The repurchase notice must state:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if physical notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the notes to be delivered for repurchase, or if not certificated, the notice must comply with applicable Euroclear and Clearstream procedures;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the portion of the principal amount of notes to be repurchased, which must be US$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						that the notes are to be repurchased by us pursuant to the applicable provisions of the notes and the indenture.

				

		
			

		 

		

			23

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			Holders may withdraw any repurchase notice (in whole or in part) by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the paying agent prior to the close of business on the third business day immediately preceding the fundamental change repurchase date. The notice of withdrawal shall state:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the principal amount of the withdrawn notes;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if physical notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn notes, or if not certificated, the notice must comply with applicable Euroclear and Clearstream procedures; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the principal amount, if any, which remains subject to the repurchase notice, which must be US$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof.

				

		
			 
		

		
			We will be required to repurchase the notes on the fundamental change repurchase date. Holders will receive payment of the fundamental change repurchase price on the later of (x) the fundamental change repurchase date and (y) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of the notes. If the paying agent holds money on the fundamental change repurchase date sufficient to pay the fundamental change repurchase price of the notes for which the holders have surrendered and not withdrawn repurchase notices, then:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the notes will cease to be outstanding and interest will cease to accrue (whether or not book-entry transfer of the notes is made or whether or not the notes are delivered to the paying agent); and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						all other rights of the holder will terminate (other than the right to receive the fundamental change repurchase price upon delivery or transfer of the notes).

				

		
			 
		

		
			In connection with any repurchase offer pursuant to a fundamental change repurchase notice, we will, if required, comply with the provisions of the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable.
		

		
			 
		

		
			No notes may be repurchased by us on any date at the option of holders upon a fundamental change if the principal amount of the notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by us in the payment of the fundamental change repurchase price with respect to such notes).
		

		
			 
		

		
			The rights of the holders to require us to repurchase their notes upon a fundamental change could discourage a potential acquirer of us. The fundamental change repurchase feature, however, is not the result of management’s knowledge of any specific effort to obtain control of us by any means or part of a plan by management to adopt a series of anti-takeover provisions.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The term fundamental change is limited to specified transactions and may not include other events that might adversely affect our financial condition. In addition, the ability of holders of the notes to require us to repurchase their notes upon a fundamental change may not protect holders in the event of a highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, merger or similar transaction involving us.
		

		
			

		 

		

			24

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			The definition of fundamental change includes a phrase relating to the conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or disposition of “all or substantially all” of our consolidated assets. There is no precise, established definition of the phrase “substantially all” under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of the notes to require us to repurchase its notes as a result of the conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or other disposition of less than all of our consolidated assets may be uncertain.
		

		
			 
		

		
			If a fundamental change were to occur, we may not have enough funds to pay the fundamental change repurchase price. Our ability to repurchase the notes for cash may be limited by restrictions on our ability to obtain funds for such repurchase through dividends from our subsidiaries, the terms of our then existing borrowing arrangements or otherwise. If we fail to repurchase the notes when required following a fundamental change, we will be in default under the indenture. We may in the future incur other indebtedness with similar change in control provisions permitting our holders to accelerate or to require us to purchase our indebtedness upon the occurrence of similar events or on some specific dates.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets
		

		
			 
		

		
			The indenture provides that we shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to, another person unless:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if we are not the resulting, surviving or transferee person (the “continuing entity”), the continuing entity is a person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof, the District of Columbia, or the Cayman Islands, and such person expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of our obligations under the notes and the indenture (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to pay additional amounts as set forth under “— Additional Amounts”);

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						if, pursuant to the provisions set forth above under the heading “Conversion Rights — Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of Our Ordinary Shares,” upon the occurrence of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, the notes would become convertible into securities issued by an issuer other than the continuing entity, such other issuer shall fully and unconditionally guarantee on a senior basis the resulting, continuing entity’s obligations under the notes; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						other conditions specified in the indenture are met.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Upon any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, the continuing entity (if not us) shall succeed to, and may exercise, every right and power of ours under the indenture, and, except in the case of any such lease, we shall be discharged from our obligations under the indenture and the notes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Although these types of transactions are permitted under the indenture, certain of the foregoing transactions could constitute a fundamental change (as defined above) permitting each holder to require us to repurchase the notes of such holder as described above.
		

		
			

		 

		

			25

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			Events of Default
		

		
			 
		

		
			Each of the following is an event of default:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(1)

					
					
						default in any payment of interest on any note when due and payable if the default continues for a period of 30 days;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(2)

					
					
						default in the payment of principal of any note when due and payable at its stated maturity, upon any required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(3)

					
					
						our failure to comply with our obligation to convert the notes in accordance with the indenture upon exercise of a holder’s conversion right that continues for five business days;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(4)

					
					
						our failure to comply with our obligations under “— Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets”;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(5)

					
					
						our failure to give a fundamental change notice as described under “— Fundamental Change Permits Holders to Require Us to Repurchase Notes” when due;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(6)

					
					
						our failure for 60 days after written notice from the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the notes then outstanding has been received to comply with any of our other agreements contained in the notes or the indenture;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(7)

					
					
						default, after the expiration of any applicable grace period, by us or any of our subsidiaries with respect to any mortgage, agreement or other instrument under which there may be outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of US$15 million in the aggregate of us and/or any such subsidiary, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created (i) resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable or (ii) constituting a failure to pay the principal of, or interest on, any such indebtedness when due and payable at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise, in each of clauses (i) and (ii), where such indebtedness is not discharged, or such acceleration is not rescinded or annulled, within a period of 30 days;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(8)

					
					
						a final judgment for the payment of US$15 million or more rendered against us or any of our subsidiaries if such amount is not covered by insurance or an indemnity and is not discharged or stayed within 30 days after (i) the date on which the right to appeal thereof has expired if no such appeal has commenced, or (ii) the date on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished; or

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(9)

					
					
						certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization relating to us or any of our subsidiaries that is a “significant subsidiary” (as defined in Regulation S- X under the Exchange Act) or any group of our subsidiaries that in the aggregate would constitute a “significant subsidiary” (these events being referred to as the “bankruptcy provisions”).

				

		
			

		 

		

			26

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			If an event of default occurs and is continuing (other than the occurrence of an event of default with respect to us described in clause (9) above), the trustee by notice to us, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes, by notice to us and the trustee, may, and the trustee at the request of such holders accompanied by security and/or indemnity satisfactory to it shall, declare 100% of the outstanding principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be due and payable immediately. Upon the occurrence of an event of default with respect to us described in clause (9) above, 100% of the outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the notes will be automatically due and payable immediately.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indenture will provide that, if we so elect, the sole remedy during the periods described below for an event of default in (6) above relating to our failure to comply with our obligations as set forth under “— Reports” below, will after the occurrence of such an event of default consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the notes at a rate equal to:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the notes outstanding for each day during the 180-day period beginning on, and including, the occurrence of such an event of default and on which such event of default is continuing; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the notes outstanding for each day during the 180-day period beginning on, and including, the 181st day following, and including, the occurrence of such an event of default and on which such event of default is continuing.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Such additional interest will be in addition to any additional interest that may accrue as a result of a registration default as described below under the caption “— No Registration Rights; Additional Interest.”
		

		
			 
		

		
			If we so elect, such additional interest will be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the notes. On the 361st day after such event of default (if the event of default relating to the reporting obligations is not cured or waived prior to such 361st day), the notes will be subject to acceleration as provided above. The provisions of the indenture described in this paragraph will not affect the rights of holders of notes in the event of the occurrence of any other event of default. In the event we do not elect to pay the additional interest following an event of default in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the notes will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided above.
		

		
			 
		

		
			In order to elect to pay the additional interest as the sole remedy during the first 360 days after the occurrence of an event of default relating to the failure to comply with the reporting obligations in accordance with the second preceding paragraph, we must notify all holders of notes, the trustee and the paying agent of such election prior to the beginning of such 360-day period. Upon our failure to timely give such notice, the notes will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided above.
		

		
			 
		

		
			If any portion of the amount payable on the notes upon acceleration is considered by a court to be unearned interest (through the allocation of the value of the instrument to the embedded warrant or otherwise), the court could disallow recovery of any such portion.
		

		
			

		 

		

			27

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			The holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes may, by notice to the trustee, waive any past default or event of default and its consequences, other than a default or event of default:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						in the payment of principal of, or interest on, any note or in the payment of the repurchase price on the repurchase date or fundamental change repurchase price;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						arising from our failure to deliver the consideration due upon conversion of any note in accordance with the indenture; or

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						in respect of any provision under the indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holders of each outstanding note affected.

				

		
			 
		

		
			In addition, each holder shall have the right to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the principal (including the repurchase price on the repurchase date or fundamental change repurchase price, if applicable) of;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						the consideration due upon conversion of,

				

		
			 
		

		
			its notes, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the notes or the indenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery, as the case may be, and such right to receive such payment or delivery, as the case may be, on or after such respective dates shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the trustee, if an event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the notes unless such holders have offered to the trustee indemnity or security satisfactory in its sole discretion to it against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal or interest when due or to enforce the right to receive payment or delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, no holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the indenture or the notes unless:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(1)

					
					
						such holder has previously given the trustee notice that an event of default is continuing;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(2)

					
					
						holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes have requested the trustee to pursue the remedy;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(3)

					
					
						such holders have offered the trustee security or indemnity satisfactory in its sole discretion to it against any loss, liability or expense;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(4)

					
					
						the trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity satisfactory to it in its sole discretion; and

				

		
			

		 

		

			28

		

  
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(5)

					
					
						the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes have not given the trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the trustee, is inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Subject to certain restrictions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee. The indenture provides that in the event an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the trustee will be required in the exercise of its powers to use the degree of care that a prudent person would use in the conduct of its own affairs. The trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the indenture or that the trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder or that would involve the trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the indenture, the trustee will be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The indenture provides that if a default occurs and is continuing and is known to the trustee, the trustee must mail to each holder notice of the default within 90 days after it occurs. The trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a default or event of default (other than a default in the payment of the principal of (including the repurchase price and the fundamental change repurchase price, if applicable), or accrued and unpaid interest on, any of the notes) unless a responsible officer of the trustee has received written notice thereof in the manner provided in the indenture, which notice references the notes and the indenture. Except in the case of a default in the payment of principal of or interest on any note or a default in the delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, the trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of trust officers of the trustee in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the holders. In addition, we are required to deliver to the trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year and within 30 days of a written request from the trustee, an officers' certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any default that occurred during the previous year. We are also required to deliver to the trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any events which would constitute certain defaults, their status and what action we are taking or propose to take in respect thereof.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Payments of the repurchase price on the repurchase date, the fundamental change repurchase price, principal and interest that are not made when due will accrue interest per annum at the then-applicable interest rate plus 0.50% from the required payment date. Interest on the notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Modification and Amendment
		

		
			 
		

		
			Subject to certain exceptions, the indenture or the notes may be amended with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding (including without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, notes) and, subject to certain exceptions, any past default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, notes). However, without the consent of each holder of an outstanding note affected, no amendment may, among other things:
		

		
			

		 

		

			29

		

  
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(1)

					
					
						reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount of notes whose holders must consent to an amendment of the indenture or to waive any past default;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(2)

					
					
						reduce the rate of, or extend the stated time for payment of, interest on any note;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(3)

					
					
						reduce the principal of, or extend the stated maturity of, any note;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(4)

					
					
						make any change that impairs or adversely affects the conversion rights of any notes;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(5)

					
					
						reduce the repurchase price on the repurchase date or the fundamental change repurchase price of any note, or amend or modify in any manner adverse to the holders of notes our obligation to make such payments, whether through an amendment or waiver of provisions in the covenants, definitions or otherwise;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(6)

					
					
						make any note payable in a currency other than that stated in the note;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(7)

					
					
						change the ranking of the notes in a manner adverse to the holders of the notes;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(8)

					
					
						impair the right of any holder to receive payment of principal of, and interest on, such holder’s notes on or after the due dates therefor, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such holder’s notes;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(9)

					
					
						change our obligation to pay additional amounts on any note; or

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(10)

					
					
						make any change in the amendment provisions which require each holder’s consent or in the waiver provisions of the indenture.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Without the consent of any holder, we and the trustee may amend the indenture to:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(1)

					
					
						cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency in the indenture in a manner that does not, individually or in the aggregate, adversely affect the rights of any holder of notes in any respect;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(2)

					
					
						provide for the assumption by a successor corporation, partnership, trust or company, as the case may be, of our obligations under the indenture as described above under the heading “— Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets”;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(3)

					
					
						add guarantees with respect to the notes;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(4)

					
					
						secure the notes;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(5)

					
					
						add to our covenants for the benefit of the holders or surrender any right or power conferred upon us;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(6)

					
					
						make any change that does not, individually or in the aggregate, adversely affect the rights of any holder in any respect; or

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						(7)

					
					
						conform the provisions of the indenture to this Description of Notes.

				

		
			

		 

		

			30

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			The consent of the holders is not necessary under the indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment. After an amendment under the indenture becomes effective, we are required to send to the holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all the holders, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Discharge
		

		
			 
		

		
			We may satisfy and discharge our obligations under the indenture by delivering to the registrar for cancellation all outstanding notes or by depositing with the trustee or delivering to the holders, as applicable, after the notes have become due and payable, whether at the stated maturity for such note, the repurchase date, any fundamental change repurchase date or upon conversion or otherwise, cash or (in the case of conversion) ADSs, sufficient to pay all of the outstanding notes or satisfy our conversion obligation, as the case may be, and pay all other sums payable under the indenture by us. Such discharge is subject to terms contained in the indenture.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Calculations in Respect of Notes
		

		
			 
		

		
			Except as otherwise provided above, we will be responsible for making all calculations called for under the notes. These calculations include, but are not limited to, determinations of the last reported sale prices of our ADSs, accrued interest payable on the notes, the additional ADS, if any, deliverable upon conversion in connection with a make-whole fundamental change, and the applicable conversion rate. We will make all these calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, our calculations will be final and binding on holders of notes. We will provide a schedule of our calculations to each of the trustee and the conversion agent, and each of the trustee and conversion agent is entitled to rely conclusively upon the accuracy of our calculations without independent verification. The trustee will forward our calculations to any holder of notes upon the request of that holder.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Reports
		

		
			 
		

		
			The indenture provides that any documents or reports that we are required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act must be filed by us with the trustee within 15 days after the same are required to be filed with the SEC (giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act). Documents or reports filed by us with the SEC via the EDGAR system will be deemed to be filed with the trustee as of the time such documents are filed with the SEC via EDGAR; provided that we will notify the trustee within 15 days of any such filing.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Trustee
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch is the trustee, paying agent and conversion agent. The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch is the registrar and transfer agent. The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch and The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch, in each of its capacities, including without limitation as trustee, registrar, paying agent and conversion agent, assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information concerning us or our affiliates or any other party contained in this document or the related documents or for any failure by us or any other party to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of such information.
		

		
			

		 

		

			31

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			Except during the continuance of an event of default, the trustee will not be liable, except for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth in the indenture and no implied covenant or obligation shall be read into the indenture against the trustee. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the trustee will use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise of the rights and powers vested in it under the indenture as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any holder, unless such holder shall have offered to the trustee security and/or indemnity satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against any loss, liability or expense. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture, we will reimburse the trustee, registrar, paying agent, conversion agent and transfer agent for all fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel) related to the performance of its duties under the indenture.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions with us, including normal banking and trustee relationships, provided, however, that if it acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict or resign.
		

		
			 
		

		
			We maintain banking relationships in the ordinary course of business with the trustee and its affiliates.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Governing Law
		

		
			 
		

		
			The indenture provides that it and the notes, and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to the indenture or the notes, will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
		

		
			 
		

		
			No Registration Rights; Additional Interest
		

		
			 
		

		
			We do not intend to file a resale shelf registration statement for the resale of the notes, the ADSs issuable upon conversion of the notes, or the ordinary shares represented thereby. As a result, you may only resell your notes, ADSs issued upon conversion of your notes, or ordinary shares represented thereby, pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) as currently in effect, a person who acquired notes from us or our affiliate and who has beneficially owned notes, ADSs, or ordinary shares represented thereby, issued upon conversion of the notes for at least one year is entitled to sell such notes, ADSs or ordinary shares without registration, but only if such person is not deemed to have been our affiliate at the time of, or at any time during three months preceding, the sale. Furthermore, under Rule 144, a person who acquired notes from us or our affiliate and who has beneficially owned notes, ADSs issued upon conversion of notes, or ordinary shares represented thereby, for at least six months is entitled to sell such notes, ADSs or ordinary shares without registration, so long as (i) such person is not deemed to have been our affiliate at the time of, or at any time during three months preceding, the sale and (ii) we have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the twelve months preceding such sale (other than current reports on Form 6-K). If we are not current in filing our Exchange Act reports, a person who acquires from us or our affiliate notes, ADSs issued upon conversion of notes, or ordinary shares represented thereby, could be required to hold such notes, ADSs or ordinary shares for up to one year following such acquisition. If we are not current in filing our Exchange Act reports, a person who is our affiliate and who owns notes, ADSs issued upon conversion of notes, or ordinary shares represented thereby, could be required to hold such notes, ADSs or ordinary shares indefinitely.
		

		
			

		 

		

			32

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			If, at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date that is six months after the last date of original issuance of the notes, we fail to timely file any document or report that we are required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods thereunder and other than reports on Form 6-K), or the notes are not otherwise freely tradable by holders other than our affiliates or persons who were our affiliates during the three immediately preceding months (as a result of restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of the indenture or the notes), we will pay additional interest on the notes. Additional interest will accrue on the notes at the rate of 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of notes outstanding for each day during such period for which our failure to file has occurred and is continuing or the notes are not so freely tradable.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Further, if, and for so long as, the restrictive legend on the notes has not been removed, the notes are assigned a restricted ISIN number or the notes are not otherwise freely tradable by holders other than our affiliates or persons who were our affiliates during the three immediately preceding months (without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of the indenture or the notes) as of the 365th day after the last date of original issuance of the notes offered hereby, we will pay additional interest on the notes. Additional interest will accrue on the notes at the rate of 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of notes outstanding until such restrictive legend is removed, the notes are assigned an unrestricted ISIN number and the notes are freely tradable as described above.
		

		
			 
		

		
			We cannot assure you that we will be able to remove the restrictive legend from the notes or from the ADSs issued upon conversion of the notes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			We will not, and will not permit any of our “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 144) to purchase, otherwise acquire or own any notes or any beneficial interest therein.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The notes will be issued with a restricted ISIN number. Until such time as we notify the trustee to remove the restrictive legend from the notes and the trustee does so, the restricted ISIN number will be the ISIN number for the notes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Additional interest pursuant to the foregoing provisions will be payable in arrears on each interest payment date following accrual in the same manner as regular interest on the notes and will be in addition to any additional interest that may accrue at our election as the sole remedy relating to the failure to comply with our reporting obligations as described under “— Events of Default.”
		

		
			 
		

		
			Book-Entry, Settlement and Clearance
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Global Notes
		

		
			 
		

		
			The notes will be initially issued in the form of one or more registered notes in global form, without interest coupons (“global notes”). Upon issuance, each of the global notes will be deposited with a common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream and registered in the name of the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream or its nominee.
		

		
			

		 

		

			33

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			Upon the issuance of the global note, Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will credit on their internal system the respective principal amounts of the individual beneficial interests represented by the global note to the respective accounts of persons who have accounts with them. These accounts will initially be designated by Credit Suisse (Hong Kong) Limited. Ownership of beneficial interests in the global note will be limited to persons who have accounts with Euroclear or Clearstream or persons who hold interests through such accountholders. Ownership of beneficial interests in the global note will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by Euroclear and Clearstream (with respect to interests of their respective accountholders) and the records of such accountholders (with respect to interests of persons other than such accountholders). Transfers between accountholders in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Beneficial interests in the global notes will be shown on, and transfers of beneficial interests in the global notes will be made only through, records maintained by Clearstream or Euroclear and their participants. When you purchase notes through the Clearstream or Euroclear systems, the purchases must be made by or through a direct or indirect participant in the Clearstream or Euroclear system, as the case may be. The participant will receive credit for the notes that you purchase on Clearstream’s or Euroclear's records, and, upon its receipt of such credit, you will become the beneficial owner of those notes. Your ownership interest will be recorded only on the records of the direct or indirect participant in Clearstream or Euroclear, as the case may be, through which you purchase the notes and not on Clearstream’s or Euroclear's records. Neither Clearstream nor Euroclear, as the case may be, will have any knowledge of your beneficial ownership of the notes. Clearstream’s or Euroclear’s records will show only the identity of the direct participants and the amount of the notes held by or through those direct participants. You will not receive a written confirmation of your purchase or sale or any periodic account statement directly from Clearstream or Euroclear. You should instead receive those documents from the direct or indirect participant in Clearstream or Euroclear through which you purchase the notes. As a result, the direct or indirect participants are responsible for keeping accurate account of the holdings of their customers. The paying agent will wire payments on the notes to the common depositary as the holder of the global notes. The trustee, the paying agent and we will treat the common depositary or any nominee of the common depositary (or any of their respective successors) as the owner of the global notes for all purposes. Accordingly, the trustee, the paying agent and we will have no direct responsibility or liability to pay amounts due with respect to the global notes to you or any other beneficial owners in the global notes. Any redemption or other notices with respect to the notes will be sent by us directly to Clearstream or Euroclear, which will, in turn, inform the direct participants (or the indirect participants), which will then contact you as a beneficial holder, all in accordance with the rules of Clearstream or Euroclear, as the case may be, and the internal procedures of the direct participant (or the indirect participant) through which you hold your beneficial interest in the notes. Clearstream or Euroclear will credit payments to the cash accounts of Clearstream customers or Euroclear participants in accordance with the relevant system's rules and procedures, to the extent received by its depositary. Clearstream and Euroclear have established their procedures in order to facilitate transfers of the notes among participants of Clearstream and Euroclear. However, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform those procedures, and they may discontinue or change those procedures at any time. The registered holder of the notes will be the nominee of the common depositary.
		

		
			

		 

		

			34

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			During the distribution compliance period described below, beneficial interests in the global note may be transferred only to non-U.S. persons under Regulation S. The distribution compliance period will begin on the original issuance date of the notes and end on the 40th day after the original issuance date of the notes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Beneficial interests in global notes may not be exchanged for notes in physical, certificated form except in the limited circumstances described below.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The global notes and beneficial interests in the global notes will be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the global notes and in the indenture.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Book-Entry Procedures for the Global Notes
		

		
			 
		

		
			Transfers of beneficial interests between accountholders in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The laws of certain jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Accordingly, the ability of beneficial owners to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in the global note may be limited by such laws.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Conversion of beneficial interests in notes through participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Euroclear and Clearstream each holds securities for participating organizations and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between their respective participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of such participants. Euroclear and Clearstream provide to their respective participants, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Euroclear and Clearstream participants are financial institutions throughout the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Indirect access to Euroclear and Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies which clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear or Clearstream participant, either directly or indirectly.
		

		
			 
		

		
			So long as the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream or its nominee is the registered owner of a global note, that common depositary or nominee will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by that global note for all purposes under the indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a global note:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						will not be entitled to have notes represented by the global note registered in their names;

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						will not receive or be entitled to receive physical, certificated notes; and

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						will not be considered the owners or holders of the notes under the indenture for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any direction, instruction or approval to the trustee under the indenture.

				

		
			

		 

		

			35

		

  
		

		
			 
		

		
			As a result, each investor who owns a beneficial interest in a global note must rely on the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream to exercise any rights of a holder of notes under the indenture (and, if the investor is not an accountholder in Euroclear or Clearstream, on the procedures of the Euroclear or Clearstream accountholder through which the investor owns its interest).
		

		
			 
		

		
			Payments in respect of beneficial interests in the global note will be made to the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream or its nominee as the registered owner. Neither we nor the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for the payment of amounts to owners of beneficial interests in a global note, for any aspect or the accuracy of any of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial or ownership interests in the global note or for any notice permitted or required to be given to holders of the notes or any consent given or actions taken by such registered holder of the notes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			As of the date of the notes purchase agreement, the relevant procedures of Euroclear and Clearsteam provide that each payment in respect of a global note will be made to the person shown as the holder in the register at the close of business of Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, on the clearing system business day before the due date for such payments, where “clearing system business day” means a weekday (Monday to Friday, inclusive) except December 25 and January 1.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Physical Notes
		

		
			 
		

		
			Notes in physical, certificated form will be issued and delivered to each person that Euroclear and Clearstream identifies as a beneficial owner of the related notes only if:
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						either Euroclear or Clearstream or a successor clearing system notifies us at any time that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the global notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within 60 days; or

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						

					
					
						an event of default with respect to the notes has occurred and is continuing, and such beneficial owner requests that its notes be issued in physical, certificated form.
