Related to Transfers of Shares Preemptive Rights

• Preemptive Rights (a) In the event that the Purchaser Beneficially Owns at least 20% of the aggregate number of shares of NewCo Common Stock then outstanding, if NewCo engages in any transaction involving the direct or indirect sale or issuance of Covered Securities by NewCo and such sale or issuance would cause the Purchaser to Beneficially Own less than 20% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of NewCo Common Stock immediately following such sale or issuance, the Purchaser will be afforded the opportunity to acquire from NewCo, for the same price and on the same terms as such Covered Securities are offered, up to an amount (the “Amount”) necessary to enable the Purchaser to own 20% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of NewCo Common Stock immediately following such sale or issuance; provided, that, if the transaction at issue is an acquisition, merger or other business combination involving a Third Party by NewCo in which NewCo issues or sells Covered Securities as consideration for the transaction, such Covered Securities shall be deemed to be offered at the per share purchase price implied from the transaction terms as of the time of entry into the agreement for such transaction; provided, further, that, if such per share purchase price is not reasonably ascertainable, the per share purchase price shall be deemed to be the trading price of the NewCo Common Stock at the close of the business on the day immediately prior to the public disclosure or announcement of such transaction. (b) If NewCo proposes to engage in a transaction involving the direct or indirect sale or issuance of Covered Securities described in Section 8.12(a) above, NewCo will first submit written notice (the “Notice of Preemptive Rights”) to the Purchaser disclosing the terms of the proposed sale or issuance transaction (which notice will set forth all material terms, including price, number of securities or aggregate principal amount, as applicable, and the type of securities to be sold or issued). The Notice of Preemptive Rights will include an offer to the Purchaser to purchase up to the Purchaser’s Amount of such Covered Securities on terms and conditions, including price, not less favorable to the Purchaser than those on which NewCo proposes to sell such Covered Securities to the third party or parties. Such offer as set forth in the Notice of Preemptive Rights will remain open for a period of at least 15 Business Days after the Notice of Preemptive Rights is delivered, prior to the expiration of which period the Purchaser may accept such offer by written notice to NewCo setting forth the number of Covered Securities that the Purchaser intends to purchase. The consummation of such purchase by the Purchaser shall be conditioned on the simultaneous or prior consummation of the sale described in the Notice of Preemptive Rights. Nothing herein shall prohibit NewCo’s consummation of the sale set forth in the Notice of Preemptive Rights to third parties prior to the sale of Covered Securities to the Purchaser hereunder as long as NewCo has provided Purchaser the required notice hereunder and the Purchaser is simultaneously with or promptly after such consummation provided the opportunity to purchase the amount of Covered Securities that it would have been entitled to purchase if such issuance had occurred at the same time. (c) Any Covered Securities covered by a Notice of Preemptive Rights which are not purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.12(b) may be sold by NewCo to a third party or parties at any time within 180 days following the expiration of the 15 Business Day period specified in Section 8.12(b); provided that each of the price and the other terms and conditions of such sale are not more favorable to such third parties than as set forth in the Notice of Preemptive Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, any sale or issuance of Covered Securities other than in compliance with this Section 8.12(c) will require delivery of a new Notice of Preemptive Rights.

• Preemptive Right (i) In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities (in a single transaction or a series of related transactions), it shall give each of the Investors written notice of its intention to issue New Securities (the “First Participation Notice”), describing the following: (i) the number and type of New Securities, (ii) the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities, (iii) the identity of the third party to which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities; and (iv) other matters relating to the New Securities. Each Investor shall have the right (but no obligation) to, within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of any such First Participation Notice, purchase up to such Investor’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities upon the terms and conditions specified in the First Participation Notice by giving written notice to the Company, stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased (not to exceed such Investor’s Pro Rata Share) (the “Preemptive Rights”). If any Investor fails to so respond in writing within such thirty (30) day period, then such Investor’s right to purchase its Pro Rata Share of such New Securities hereunder shall be forfeited, but such Investor shall not be deemed to forfeit any right with respect to any other issuance of New Securities. (ii) If any Investor fails or declines to exercise its Preemptive Rights or does not exercise its Preemptive Rights in full in accordance with Section 4.2(i) above, the Company shall promptly give written notice (the “Second Participation Notice”) to other Investors who exercised in full their Preemptive Rights (the “Oversubscription Participants”) in accordance with Section 4.2(i) above, describing the following: (i) the number of the remaining New Securities available for oversubscription and (ii) the list of Oversubscription Participants. Each Oversubscription Participant shall have the right (but no obligation) to, within ten (10) days from the date of the Second Participation Notice (the “Second Participation Period”, together with the First Participation Period, the “Participation Period”), notify the Company of its desire to purchase more than its Pro Rata Share of the New Securities, stating the number of the additional New Securities it proposes to purchase (the “Additional Number”). If, as a result thereof, such oversubscription exceeds the total number of the remaining New Securities available for purchase, each Oversubscription Participant will be cut back by the Company with respect to its oversubscription to such number of remaining New Securities equal to the lesser of (x) the Additional Number and (y) the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of the remaining New Securities available for subscription by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares on an as-converted basis held by such Oversubscription Participant and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares on an as-converted basis held by all the Oversubscription Participants. (iii) If any change is made to the terms or conditions specified in the First Participation Notice, or if the Company has not consummated the sale of such New Securities within ninety (90) day period after the expiration of the Participation Period, then the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Investors pursuant to this Section 4.2. (iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and subject to the Applicable Securities Law, the Company will grant and issue an option to each Series F Investor, each Investor whose appointee remains a director of the Board, each Investor whose appointee remains an Observer and each Investor that holds 5% or more of the total issued shares of the Company immediately prior to the completion of the IPO (each such Investor, a “Major Investor”), pursuant to which each such Major Investor and/or its respective designated Affiliate is entitled to, as a cornerstone investor or as a placee of the IPO, purchase its Pro Rata Share of the Ordinary Shares (or securities of the Company representing the Ordinary Shares) to be offered by the Company for sale in the IPO at the same offering price per share at which the securities offered in the IPO are being offered to the public (the “IPO Anti-dilution Right”). All shares of the Company held by an Investor and its Affiliates shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of the IPO Anti-dilution Right for such Investor under this Section 4.2(iv). Each Major Investor shall have the right to elect to terminate its IPO Anti-dilution Right under this Section 4.2(iv) immediately before the Company files an A-1 Listing Application in connection with an IPO on Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purpose of this Section 4.2(iv), “Pro Rata Share” of a Major Investor shall mean the ratio of (a) the number of Ordinary Shares on an as-converted basis held by such Investor, to (b) the total number of Ordinary Shares on an as-converted basis held by all Shareholders immediately prior to the completion of the IPO.

• Limited Preemptive Rights Except as provided in Section 5.3, no Person shall have preemptive, preferential or other similar rights with respect to (a) additional Capital Contributions; (b) issuance or sale of any class or series of Partnership Interests, whether unissued, held in the treasury or hereafter created; (c) issuance of any obligations, evidences of indebtedness or other securities of the Partnership convertible into or exchangeable for, or carrying or accompanied by any rights to receive, purchase or subscribe to, any such Partnership Interests; (d) issuance of any right of subscription to or right to receive, or any warrant or option for the purchase of, any such Partnership Interests; or (e) issuance or sale of any other securities that may be issued or sold by the Partnership.

This Section 5 shall not prohibit a transfer of Shares by Stockholder (A) to any member of Stockholder's immediate family, or to a trust for the benefit of Stockholder or any member of Stockholder's immediate family, or (B) upon the death of Stockholder; provided however, that a transfer referred to in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition such transfer, the transferee shall have (i) duly executed a counterpart of this Agreement and a proxy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and (ii) agreed in writing to hold such Shares, or such interest therein, subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a person or entity shall be deemed to have effected a "Transfer" of a security if such person or entity, directly or indirectly: (i) sells, offers to sell, makes any short sales of, pledges, encumbers, lends, hypothecates, enters into any type of equity swap or hedging of, grants an option with respect to, transfers or disposes of such security, any interest therein, or the economic consequences of ownership of such security or (ii) enters into an agreement, contract or commitment providing for the sale of, making any short sales of, pledge of, lending of, encumbrance of, equity swap or hedging of, grant of an option with respect to, transfer of or disposition of such security, any interest therein or the economic consequences of ownership of such security, other than any such actions pursuant to which such person or entity maintains all voting rights with respect to such security.

Neither the filing of the Registration Statement nor the offering or sale of the Units as contemplated by this Agreement gives rise to any rights for or relating to the registration of any Common Units or other securities of the Partnership.

• Rights of Shareholders The Shares shall be personal property giving only the rights in this Declaration specifically set forth.
