</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company&#146;s articles of association may
provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may
be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide
indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Registrant&#146;s
articles of association provide for indemnification of officers and directors for costs, charges,
expenses, judgments losses, damages or liabilities sustained by such persons in connection with
actions or proceedings to which they are party or are threatened to be made a party by reason of
their acting as the Registrant&#146;s directors or officers, other than as a result of such person&#146;s
actual fraud or willful default.

Registrant&#146;s Registration Statement on Form F-1, as amended (Registration No.&nbsp;333-146267), the
Registrant has agreed to indemnify its directors and officers against certain liabilities and
expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being such a
director or officer.

expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the undersigned Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

These shares are to be offered under the 2011 Share Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). In
addition, pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), as
amended, this Registration Statement also covers an indeterminate number of additional shares
that may be offered and issued to prevent dilution from stock splits, stock dividends or
similar transactions as provided in Plan.
(2)
The proposed maximum offering price per ordinary share and the proposed maximum aggregate
offering price have been estimated in accordance with Rule 457(c) and Rule 457(h) under the
Securities Act, solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee, based upon the
average of the high and low prices on the New York Stock Exchange on June 16, 2011.
(3)
These shares may be represented by the Registrant's ADSs, each of which represents one
ordinary share. The Registrant's ADSs issuable upon deposit of the ordinary shares registered
hereby have been registered under a separate registration statement on Form F-6 (333-146283).
(4)
Any ordinary shares covered by an award granted under the Plan (or portion of an award) that
terminates, expires or lapses for any reason will be deemed not to have been issued for purposes of
determining the maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares that may be issued under the Plan.
Additionally, if any restricted shares of the Registrant awarded under the Plan are forfeited by a
participant of the plan or repurchased by the Registrant, such shares will be deemed not to have
been issued for purposes of determining the maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares that may be
issued under the Plan.

All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company's articles of association may
provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may
be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide
indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Registrant's
articles of association provide for indemnification of officers and directors for costs, charges,
expenses, judgments losses, damages or liabilities sustained by such persons in connection with
actions or proceedings to which they are party or are threatened to be made a party by reason of
their acting as the Registrant's directors or officers, other than as a result of such person's
actual fraud or willful default.
Pursuant to the indemnification agreements the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to the
Registrant's Registration Statement on Form F-1, as amended (Registration No. 333-146267), the
Registrant has agreed to indemnify its directors and officers against certain liabilities and
expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being such a
director or officer.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been
informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
See the attached index to exhibits.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration
statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
this Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports
filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the undersigned Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
