SECTION 2.02. Size and Composition of Board. (a) At any time following (but not prior to) the Full Option Exercise and prior to the consummation of an Investor Exit Event, Investor shall be entitled to appoint a number of Directors (the “Investor Directors”) in proportion to the percentage of the Fully-Diluted Equity held by Investor, such number of Directors to be rounded down to the closest integer but to be no fewer than one Director (the “Board Representation Rights”); provided that following the consummation of a Qualified IPO, the Board Representation Rights shall be effected through a voting agreement to be entered into between Parent and Investor prior to the consummation of such Qualified IPO (and not effected in the Articles of Association), which shall provide that: (i) out of the total number of non-independent Directors, Investor shall be entitled to appoint such number of non-independent Directors as is proportional to the percentage of the Fully-Diluted Equity held by Investor (such number of non-independent Directors to be rounded down to the closest integer but to be no fewer than one); and (ii) out of the total number of independent Directors, Investor shall be entitled to nominate such number of independent Director candidates as is proportional to the percentage of the Fully-Diluted Equity held by Investor (such number of candidates to be rounded down to the closest integer); provided, further, that in the case of each of the foregoing, (A) the number of non-independent Directors Investor is entitled to appoint shall be no fewer than one Director following a Full Option Exercise and prior to the consummation of an Investor Exit Event; and (B) for so long as Investor holds fewer Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) than Parent, Investor shall not, under any circumstances under the Board Representation Rights, be entitled to nominate a greater number of Directors than Parent (but subject to Investor being entitled to appoint no fewer than one non-independent Director to the Board after the Full Option Exercise and prior to the consummation of an Investor Exit Event).

(b) The rights of Investor set forth in Section 2.02(a) shall (i) survive and continue after the consummation of a Qualified IPO and (ii) terminate upon the consummation of an Investor Exit Event, provided, however, that notwithstanding the occurrence of an Investor Exit Event, the rights of the Investor under Section 2.02(a) may be assigned to any transferee to whom Investor transfers Acquired Shares in one or a series of related transactions within a three-month period so long as (i) such transferee is a Qualified New Investor and (ii) following such transfer, such Qualified New Investor holds and continues to hold at least 50% of the Acquired Shares (such assignment, a “Board Representation Assignment”). If at any time the Qualified New Investor holds less than 50% of the Acquired Shares, the rights of the Qualified New Investor assigned to it under the Board Representation Assignment shall automatically terminate. Except as otherwise agreed by the Company, any Person appointed as a director by a Qualified New Investor pursuant to a Board Representation Assignment (x) shall have experience or expertise in one or more of the following areas: Internet, social networking or microblogging, technology, finance or accounting and (y) shall not be a shareholder, director, officer, employee or Affiliate of a Competitor or a Subsidiary of a Competitor, or of any operating company whose principal business activities are primarily in the Internet industry, provided that such Person may beneficially own no more than 5% in a Competitor or a Subsidiary of Competitor that is publicly listed on an internationally recognized securities exchange, or of any operating company whose principal business activities are primarily in the Internet industry and, for the avoidance of doubt, any ownership interests held by such Person through a mutual fund or similar investment fund in which such Person does not direct investment decisions shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by such Person.

(c) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, (i) at no time shall any Third Party be entitled to appoint a number of Directors in a proportion greater than the percentage of the Fully-Diluted Equity held by such Third Party, and (ii) until such time as Investor shall have effected a Qualified Transfer, the number of Directors entitled to be appointed by any Third Party holding fewer Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) than Investor shall be less than the number of Directors that Investor is entitled to appoint.

SECTION 2.03. Approval Required. (a) The Board shall have authority with respect to all aspects of the operation of the Company, provided, however, that except as set forth in Schedule 3, none of Parent, the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries shall take any action with respect to the following matters relating to the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Consent Matters”), except with the prior written consent of Investor:

(i) a dissolution, liquidation or winding-up;

(ii) any disposition (including the amendment or termination of any organization documents of, or contractual arrangements with, a VIE of the Company that prevents the consolidation of such VIE with the Company) that exceeds $30 million in any single transaction or series of related transactions or $100 million in the aggregate over any 12-month period (in each case, whether such amounts are the consideration received or the fair value of assets disposed or a VIE no longer consolidated with the Company);

(iii) any Material Related Party Transaction;

(iv) any declaration, making or payment of any dividend or distribution (whether in cash, securities or other property) or other than pursuant to an equity-based incentive plan approved by the Relevant Board (including the Option Plan) and in accordance with Section 2.03(a)(vii), any buy-back of securities or reduction of share capital, other than the Redemption (as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement) and the Post-Closing Redemption;

(v) any amendment to the Articles of Association or the constitutional documents of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries that disproportionately and adversely affect in any material respect the rights of Investor as a shareholder of the Company; provided that any amendments to the terms of the Preferred Shares shall be subject to a class vote of the holders of Preferred Shares in accordance with applicable Law and the Articles of Association;

(vi) any issuance of Securities, other than (A) at any time following April 29, 2014, issuances (whether in any one transaction or together with all other transactions) of Securities that represent, in the aggregate, no more than 15% of Fully-Diluted Equity; (B) on or prior to April 29, 2014, issuances (whether in any one transaction or together with all other transactions) of Securities that represent, in the aggregate, no more than 15% of Fully-Diluted Equity, provided that each such issuance is consummated at a price per Ordinary Share (on an as-converted basis) that is no lower than the highest price per Ordinary Share (on an as-converted basis) paid by Investor for the Acquired Shares (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, combinations, reclassifications, recapitalizations and the like) and the terms of each such issuance are not more favorable in any material respect to the purchaser(s) or subscriber(s) of such Securities than the terms of Investor’s purchase of the Acquired Shares; (C) issuances of Securities pursuant to an equity-based incentive plan approved by the Relevant Board, including the Option Plan; (D) issuances of Securities on a pro rata basis in connection with any share splits, share dividends, combinations, reclassifications, recapitalizations, rights issuances and the like; (E) issuances of Securities to be offered in a Qualified IPO; (F) issuances of Securities upon the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable Securities issued in accordance with this Agreement, pursuant to the terms of such Securities; or (G) Securities issued upon the conversion of any Preferred Shares;

(viii) any creation of any mortgages, charges, pledges, security interests, liens or other encumbrances in respect of any Indebtedness in excess of $100 million in the aggregate over any 12-month period;

provided, that in no event shall any of the foregoing be construed as requiring Parent, the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries to obtain the consent of Investor with respect to actions reasonably necessary to effect a Qualified IPO.

(b) The Consent Matters set forth in subsections (i), (iv), (v), (viii) and (ix) above shall be referred to as the “Qualified Consent Matters”. Investor’s right of consent in respect of each of the Qualified Consent Matters shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Qualified IPO and (ii) the consummation of a Qualified Transfer; provided, however, that in the case of a Qualified Transfer, (A) the consent rights in respect of the Qualified Consent Matters shall survive in respect of any Person (including any Third Party) to whom Investor directly effects a transfer (the “First Transferee”), in accordance with the provisions of Article IV, of a number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) greater than 75% of the Acquired Shares (the “Requisite Shareholding”) in one or a series of related transactions within a three-month period (the “Transfer Period”), provided that Investor shall provide the Company with written notice at least five (5) days prior to the commencement of the Transfer Period setting forth the identity of the First Transferee and the proposed date of first transfer of Securities to the First Transferee; and the consent rights in respect of the Qualified Consent Matters shall survive in respect of the First Transferee so long as the First Transferee legally and beneficially owns, in the aggregate, a minimum number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) greater than the Requisite Shareholding and all references to “Investor” under the Qualified Consent Matters shall refer to the First Transferee; (B) in the event that at any time within the Transfer Period, Investor, the First Transferee and their respective Affiliates do not legally and beneficially own, in the aggregate, Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) equal to or greater than the Requisite Shareholding, the consent rights in respect of the Qualified Consent Matters shall immediately expire; and (C) subject to the foregoing sub-clause (B), at any time during the Transfer Period but prior to the consummation by Investor of any transfer of Securities that results in Investor or the First Transferee legally and beneficially owning, in the aggregate, Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) equal to or greater than the Requisite Shareholding, the consent rights in respect of the Qualified Consent Matters shall be exercised solely by Investor.

(c) Investor’s right of consent in respect of each of the Consent Matters (other than in respect of the Qualified Consent Matters) shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the consummation of a Qualified IPO, (ii) the consummation of a Qualified Transfer and (iii) April 29, 2018 in the event Investor has not effected a Qualified Option Exercise on or prior to April 29, 2018.

SECTION 2.04. Post-IPO ESOP Pool. From and after the earlier of (i) the adoption of the Company’s 2014 Share Incentive Plan and (ii) a Qualified IPO and until the earlier of (x) the 5^th anniversary thereof and (y) an Investor Exit Event, without the prior written consent of Investor, the Company shall not amend any of the Company’s equity-based incentive plans (including the Company’s 2014 Share Incentive Plan) to increase the number of Securities issuable thereunder or establish any other equity-based incentive plan.

ARTICLE III

OPTION

SECTION 3.01. Option. (a) Investor shall have an option (the “Option”) to acquire, and the Company shall issue and allot and/or cause to be transferred to Investor and/or its Permitted Transferees upon exercise by Investor of the Option, additional Ordinary Shares (the “Option Shares”) which, when aggregated with the Initial Shares, represent up to 30% of the Fully-Diluted Equity (after taking into account any applicable Post-Closing Redemption) immediately after such issuance of the Option Shares (pursuant to one or more exercises of the Option in accordance with the provisions of this Article III); provided, however that, pursuant to any exercise of the Option by Investor, up to 20% of the number of Option Shares to be acquired upon any exercise of the Option by Investor may be in the form of (i) Ordinary Shares (the “Employee Option Shares”) owned by individuals employed by Parent, the Company or their Subsidiaries (the “Option Employees”) or the Permitted Transferees of such individuals, to be sold to Investor in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Article III and/or (ii) Ordinary Shares to be issued and allotted by the Company (the “Redemption Option Shares”); and provided further that up to 80% of the number of Option Shares to be acquired upon any exercise of the Option by Investor may be in the form of Ordinary Shares (the “Parent Option Shares”) owned by Parent. If applicable, Parent and the Company shall, pursuant to any exercise of the Option by Investor, procure the sale of the Employee Option Shares by the Option Employees in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Article III.

(b) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein but without prejudice to Section 3.04(b), Investor shall not effect or permit to be effected a Sale of the Option, in whole or in part, to any Person, other than a transfer, in whole but not in part, to a Permitted Transferee.

SECTION 3.02. Option Exercise Period. (a) Investor shall have the right to exercise the Option, in whole or in part, at any time, but not to exceed three (3) times, commencing on April 29, 2013 and ending on the date that is the earlier of (such period, the “Option Exercise Period”): (i) the consummation of a Qualified IPO and (ii) April 29, 2018.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 3.02(a), the Option shall expire immediately upon the earlier of the consummation of (i) a Qualified Transfer and (ii) the Full Option Exercise.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 3.02(a) and 3.02(b), in the event that the Company has made a submission to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to a U.S. Qualified IPO:

(i) by no later than eight (8) days prior to the proposed date of the first public filing of a registration statement by the Company with the SEC with respect to such U.S. Qualified IPO (the “Proposed Public Filing Date,” and the actual date of such first public filing, the “Actual Public Filing Date”), the Company shall provide written notice to Investor specifying the Proposed Public Filing Date, together with the current draft of the registration statement proposed to be publicly filed to the SEC in connection with such Qualified IPO (the “Public Filing Notice”), and thereafter, shall promptly provide Investor copies of the revised drafts of such registration statement as well as the final version of such registration statement that is submitted or filed with the SEC;

(ii) if the Company has delivered the Public Filing Notice to Investor in accordance with Section 3.02(c)(i), and Investor fails to deliver an Option Notice on or prior to the Proposed Public Filing Date (the “Exercise Deadline”), subject to Section 3.02(c)(iv), the Option (or such portion of the Option not exercised) shall be deemed to have expired; provided, however, that if the Actual Public Filing Date is delayed for a period of time longer than seven (7) days following the Proposed Public Filing Date, such Option Notice shall become revocable and the Company shall provide a new Public Filing Notice in accordance with Section 3.02(c)(i) (such new Proposed Public Filing Date set forth in such new Public Filing Notice shall be the Proposed Public Filing date for the purposes of this Article III);

(iii) subject to Section 3.02(c)(ii) and Section 3.02(c)(iv), the Option Notice shall be irrevocable; and

(iv) in the event that such Qualified IPO is not consummated within three (3) months of the Proposed Public Filing Date, any prior exercise or expiration of the Option shall be disregarded and the Option shall remain fully exercisable until the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Qualified IPO and (ii) April 29, 2018.

SECTION 3.03. Option Price. (a) The purchase price per Option Share (the “Option Price”) with respect to any exercise of the Option by Investor shall be equal to the lower of (i) an amount that represents a 15% discount to the offering price per Ordinary Share in a Qualified IPO (the “Discounted IPO Price”) and (ii) the amount per Ordinary Share that would imply a pre-money equity valuation (on a Fully-Diluted Basis) of the Company that is equal to twice (2x) the Initial Valuation (the “Reference Price”); provided that in the event that Investor effects an exercise of the Option prior to the commencement of a Qualified IPO, the Option Price with respect to such exercise shall be equal to the Reference Price.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 3.03(a), in the event that applicable stock exchange rules or regulations shall require an exercise of the Option by Investor prior to the determination of the Discounted IPO Price or otherwise prohibit an exercise of the Option by Investor at the Discounted IPO Price, Investor and Parent will negotiate in good faith to agree on an alternative amount that shall be the Discounted IPO Price and appropriate timing and procedures for the exercise of the Option, so that such alternative amount, timing and procedures reflect and replicate the economic substance of the Discounted IPO Price set forth in this Article III and the exercisability of the Option immediately prior to the consummation of a Qualified IPO to the extent possible in accordance with applicable stock exchange rules or regulations.

SECTION 3.04. Option Exercise Procedures. (a) Investor may exercise the Option by delivering to Parent and the Company a written notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Option Notice”), at any time during the Option Exercise Period, stating Investor’s election to exercise, subject to Sections 3.02(c)(ii) and 3.02(c)(iv), the Option and the number of Option Shares to be acquired pursuant to such exercise, provided that Investor may elect to exercise the Option in full (the “Full Option Exercise Election”), in which case, the number of Option Shares, when taken together with the Acquired Shares immediately prior to such issuance of the Option Shares, shall be equal to 30% of the Fully-Diluted Equity (after taking into account any applicable Post-Closing Redemption) immediately after such issuance of the Option Shares and, in the event that the Option Closing is completed contemporaneously with the consummation of a Qualified IPO, after taking into account the Securities to be issued in such Qualified IPO (including any Securities issued upon the exercise of any over-allotment option granted to any underwriters in connection with such Qualified IPO) (the “Full Option Exercise Amount”). Upon an exercise of the Option as evidenced by the delivery of an Option Notice pursuant to this Section 3.04(a) and subject to Sections 3.02(c)(ii) and 3.02(c)(iv), Investor agrees to purchase, and each of the Company and Parent agrees to issue, allot and/or transfer, as the case may be, to Investor and/or its Permitted Transferees, as applicable, in each case pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Article III, the number of Option Shares set forth or described in the Option Notice evidencing such exercise of the Option. The (i) issue and allotment by the Company to Investor of any Option Shares that are not Parent Option Shares, Redemption Option Shares or Employee Option Shares (the “Company Option Shares”) and the Redemption Option Shares, (ii) transfer by Parent to Investor of the Parent Option Shares to Investor and/or (iii) transfer by the Option Employees to Investor of the Employee Option Shares (an “Option Closing”) shall be completed as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within ninety (90) days after the date of the Option Notice at such time and place as may be reasonably agreed between Investor and the Company, provided that in the event that the Company has commenced a U.S. Qualified IPO, the Option Closing shall be completed contemporaneously with, and subject to, the consummation of such U.S. Qualified IPO and provided further that in the event that the exercise of any over-allotment option granted to any underwriters in connection with a Qualified IPO would increase the Full Option Exercise Amount, the Option Closing with respect to the Option Shares comprising such increase shall be completed contemporaneously with the consummation of the settlement of such over-allotment option.

(b) In the event that Investor has delivered the Full Option Exercise Election, at least three (3) Business Days prior to each Option Closing, the Company shall determine the Full Option Exercise Amount (or if applicable in connection with the exercise of any over-allotment option granted to any underwriters in connection with a Qualified IPO, the increase in the Full Option Exercise Amount) in accordance with this Agreement and notify the Investor thereof. At least three (3) Business Days prior to each Option Closing, Investor shall deliver a notice to Parent and the Company setting forth the number or portion of Option Shares to be purchased by Investor and/or the Permitted Transferees of Investor and if applicable, name of each such Permitted Transferee. At each Option Closing, the Company and Parent shall, and Parent shall procure the Company to, deliver or cause to be delivered to Investor: (i) share certificates in the name of Investor and/or its Permitted Transferees representing the applicable Company Option Shares, Redemption Option Shares and/or Employee Option Shares, (ii) existing share certificates evidencing the Employee Option Shares or the Parent Option Shares, in each case, accompanied by relevant instruments of transfer duly executed in blank; (iii) a certified true copy of the Register of Members of the Company indicating that Investor and/or its Permitted Transferees are the registered holder of the applicable Option Shares; (iv) receipts for the aggregate Option Price for (A) the Company Option Shares, (B) the Parent Option Shares and (C) the Employee Option Shares and the Redemption Option Shares; and (v) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Company (the “Option Closing Certificate”) certifying that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.05 are true and correct in all respects.

(c) At each Option Closing, Investor shall deliver or cause to be delivered (i) to the Company, the aggregate Option Price for the Company Option Shares by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the bank account to be designated by the Company in a written notice to Investor at least three (3) Business Days prior to the intended date of such Option Closing, (ii) to Parent, the aggregate Option Price for the Parent Option Shares by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the bank account to be designated by Parent in a written notice to Investor at least three (3) Business Days prior to the intended date of such Option Closing and (iii) to Parent, the aggregate Option Price for the Redemption Option Shares and the Employee Option Shares by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the bank account to be designated by Parent in a written notice to Investor at least three (3) Business Days prior to the intended date of such Option Closing.

(d) Parent shall remit the portion of the aggregate Option Price to each Option Employee in respect of such portion of the Redemption Option Shares and/or Employee Option Shares, as applicable, sold by such Option Employee at such Option Closing net of any applicable withholding Taxes and any applicable exercise consideration and other costs and expenses payable by the relevant Option Employee. Investor shall not deduct or withhold Taxes in respect of the Option Price of the Employee Option Shares or the Redemption Option Shares, such withholding to be the sole responsibility of Parent.

(e) Parent shall use its best efforts to cause the Company to effect a redemption and/or repurchase of such number of Ordinary Shares and/or options issued under the Option Plan from Option Employees, effective as of each Option Closing, equal to the total number of Redemption Option Shares to be issued in respect of such Option Closing, provided, however, that if any such redemption and/or repurchase shall not have been effected as of such Option Closing, then as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event within thirty (30) days following such Option Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause the Company to, effect a redemption and/or repurchase of Ordinary Shares and/or options issued under the Option Plan to Option Employees such that the total number of Ordinary Shares and/or options redeemed or repurchased as of such Option Closing and during such 30-day period shall equal the number of Redemption Option Shares issued in respect of such Option Closing (a “Post-Closing Redemption”).

(f) Following the delivery of the Option Notice, each of Parent, the Company and Investor shall use reasonable endeavors to perform all further acts and things, and execute and deliver such further documents as Investor may reasonably require or as may be required by Law to implement and/or give effect to the issuance, allotment and transfer contemplated under this Article III.

(a)(i) the authorized share capital of the Company consists of the number of Ordinary Shares as set forth in the Option Closing Certificate; (ii) as of the date of the Option Closing, the number of Ordinary Shares shall be as set forth in the Option Closing Certificate and shall be issued and outstanding, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not issued in violation of any preemptive rights; (iii) as of the date of the Option Closing, the number of Ordinary Shares authorized for issuance under the Option Plan shall be as set forth in the Option Closing Certificate, of which the number of Ordinary Shares may be issued pursuant to outstanding options and other equity-based incentive awards granted under the Option Plan shall be as set forth in the Option Closing Certificate; (iv) except for options or other equity-based incentive awards authorized or issued under the Option Plan, there are no options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments relating to the Ordinary Shares or obligating either Parent or the Company to issue, transfer, sell, redeem, repurchase or acquire any Ordinary Shares, or any other equity interest in, the Company;

(b) the Company Option Shares and the Redemption Option Shares to be acquired by Investor and/or its Permitted Transferees, as the case may be, at such Option Closing (i) are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, (ii) are not issued in violation of, and not subject to, any preemptive or similar rights and (iii) shall be acquired by Investor free and clear of all Encumbrances;

(c) the Employee Option Shares and the Parent Option Shares to be acquired by Investor and/or its Permitted Transferees, as the case may be, at such Option Closing, are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to any preemptive or similar rights, and other than this Agreement or as provided in the Articles of Association, and when sold and transferred to Investor in accordance with this Agreement, Investor and/or its Permitted Transferees, as the case may be, will acquire full legal and beneficial ownership of such Employee Option Shares and Parent Option Shares free and clear of all Encumbrances;

Before issuing a new certificate omitting part or all of the first paragraph of the legend set forth in Section 4.01(a), the Company may request an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it to the effect that the restrictions discussed in the first paragraph of the legend to be omitted no longer apply to the Securities represented by such certificate. In the event that the Securities shall cease to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall, upon the written request of the holder thereof, issue to such holder a new certificate evidencing such Securities without the legend required by the second paragraph of Section 4.01(a).

(b) No Sale or Pledge of Securities by Investor to a Permitted Transferee shall be effective if a purpose or effect of such Sale or Pledge shall have been to circumvent the provisions of this Section 4.02.

SECTION 4.03. Restrictions on Sales or Pledges to Competitors. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, neither Parent, any Management Shareholder nor any of their Permitted Transferees, on the one hand, or any Investor Entity, on the other hand, shall effect any Sale or Pledge, and each such party shall ensure that no Sale or Pledge occurs in respect of, all or any part of its interest in any Securities now or hereafter owned or held by such party, to any Competitor or any Subsidiary thereof, other than with the prior written consent of Investor (in the case of a proposed Sale or Pledge by Parent, any Management Shareholder or any of their Permitted Transferees) or Parent (in the case of a proposed Sale or Pledge by any Investor Entity).

SECTION 4.04. Improper Sale or Pledge. Any attempt not in compliance with this Agreement to make any Sale or Pledge of any Securities (including the Option) shall be null and void and of no force and effect, the Company shall not give any effect in the Company’s share records to such attempted Sale or Pledge.

(A) the total number of Securities sold by the Prospective Seller to any one or more Third Parties shall be not more than the number of Remaining Shares; and

(B) all the Securities that are sold or otherwise disposed of by the Prospective Seller pursuant to this paragraph (f) are sold (1) within sixty (60) days (or longer, if so required pursuant to applicable Law) after the expiration of the Offer Period, (2) at an amount not less than the Offer Price (on a per share basis) included in such Offer Notice and (3) on material terms and conditions no more favorable to the prospective transferee than those specified in such Offer Notice.

Upon the execution and delivery by such Prospective Transferee of such joinder to this Agreement, Schedule 1 shall be amended to reflect the addition of such Prospective Transferee and any other changes in the ownership of Securities, and such Prospective Transferee shall be deemed a “Shareholder” for purposes of this Agreement and shall have the rights and be subject to the obligations of a Shareholder under this Agreement, in each case with respect to the Securities owned by such Prospective Transferee.

(b) Suspension.

(i) In the event that Parent reasonably determines in good faith that there has occurred any material breach by Alibaba of any agreement, undertaking or covenant set forth in Clause 4 of the Guarantee and Undertaking with respect to the obligations set forth in Section 4.03 (Restrictions on Sales or Pledges to Competitors), Section 4.05 (Right of First Offer) or Section 4.06 (Permitted Transferees) of this Agreement (other than for any breach of any requirements set forth in Section 4.05 that are primarily procedural in nature) (a “Material Breach”), including any Deemed Material Breach (as defined in Section 7.01(b)(ii)), Parent shall provide written notice thereof to Investor, which includes reasonable detail regarding such alleged Material Breach (the “Breach Notice”).

(v) Investor shall be entitled to require a reinstatement of this Agreement if (A) it is determined by agreement of the parties or pursuant to a final and binding arbitral award obtained in accordance with Section 8.08 (but without giving effect to Section 8.08(e)) that there was no occurrence of any Material Breach or that any Material Breach was cured prior to the end of the Cure Period; (B) the Investor Entities shall (x) not have taken any actions that would otherwise have resulted in a breach of Section 4.03 and (y) have provided to the Company all information that would otherwise have been required under Sections 4.06(c) and 4.06(d), in each case, had this Agreement continued to be in effect at all times during the period of suspension, and (C) to the extent that any Securities are transferred to any Third Party during such period, the Investor Entities shall have procured that such Prospective Transferee shall have executed an undertaking in favour of the Company to comply with Section 4.03 of this Agreement. Investor may exercise its right under this Section 7.01(b)(v) by providing a notice in writing to Parent and the Company together with a certificate of a duly authorized officer of Investor certifying as to the matters set forth in this Section 7.01(b)(v).

(vi) This Agreement shall terminate if it is determined (by agreement of the parties or pursuant to Section 8.08, but without giving effect to Section 8.08(e)) that there was a Material Breach by Alibaba.

(vii) In the event that Parent and the Company shall have suspended this Agreement (including the rights and obligations of each party hereto hereunder) pursuant to this Section 7.01(b) and it is determined (by agreement of the parties or pursuant to Section 8.08, but without giving effect to Section 8.08(e)) that Alibaba did not commit a Material Breach or Alibaba has cured such breach, Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless Alibaba for any losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) suffered or incurred by Alibaba or any of its Affiliates arising out of or resulting from the suspension of this Agreement by Parent and the Company.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Shareholders’ Agreement.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Option Exercise Notice, dated March 14, 2014, delivered by Investor to the Company and Parent, Investor validly elected the Full Option Exercise Election in accordance with the terms of the Shareholders’ Agreement;

WHEREAS, such Full Option Exercise Election was made by Investor after the Company had commenced a U.S. Qualified IPO, and accordingly, pursuant to Section 3.04 of the Shareholders’ Agreement, the Option Closing in respect of such Full Option Exercise Election shall be completed contemporaneously with, and subject to, the consummation of such U.S. Qualified IPO (the “IPO Option Closing”); and

WHEREAS, the parties seek to amend and modify certain provisions of the Shareholders’ Agreement as set forth below in connection with the IPO Option Closing and the Option Shares to be acquired by Investor at the IPO Option Closing.

1. Option Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding the proviso in Section 3.01(a) of the Shareholders’ Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees that (i) 10% of the number of Option Shares to be acquired by Investor at the IPO Option Closing shall be in the form of Redemption Option Shares to be newly issued and allotted by the Company to Investor at the IPO Option Closing, (ii) 10% of the number of Option Shares to be acquired by Investor at the IPO Option Closing shall be in the form of shares of the Company to be newly issued and allotted to Investor in such U.S. Qualified IPO (the “Investor IPO Shares”) at the IPO Option Closing and (iii) 80% of the number of Option Shares to be acquired by Investor at the IPO Option Closing shall be in the form of Parent Option Shares owned by Parent and to be transferred to Investor at the IPO Option Closing, in each case of (i) to (iii), based on the price as determined pursuant to Section 2 below.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, in accordance with the Shareholders’ Agreement, the number of Option Shares to be acquired by Investor at the IPO Option Closing, when taken together with the Acquired Shares immediately prior to such issuance of the Option Shares, shall be equal to 30% of the Fully-Diluted Equity (after taking into account any applicable Post-Closing Redemption) immediately after such issuance of the Option Shares and after taking into account the Securities to be issued in such U.S. Qualified IPO (including the Investor IPO Shares and any Securities issued upon the exercise of any over-allotment option granted to any underwriters in connection with such U.S. Qualified IPO).

2. Option Price. Notwithstanding Section 3.03(a) of the Shareholders’ Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees that (a) the Option Price with respect to the Option Shares to be acquired by Investor at the IPO Option Closing (except the Investor IPO Shares) shall be equal to an amount that represents a 15% discount to the offering price per Ordinary Share in such U.S. Qualified IPO and (b) the Option Price with respect to the Investor IPO Shares to be acquired by Investor at the IPO Option Closing shall be equal to the offering price per Ordinary Share in such U.S. Qualified IPO.

3. Qualified IPO. Notwithstanding the definition of “Qualified IPO” as set forth in the Shareholders’ Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees that with respect to the initial public offering by the Company of which a proposed public offering price range of $17 to $19 per ADS and a proposed basic offering size of 20,000,000 ADSs will be set forth in the preliminary prospectus included in a registration statement on Form F-1 that will be filed with the SEC on or about April 4, 2014, the offering associated with such registration statement will be deemed to be a “Qualified IPO,” if the offering is the first underwritten public offering of the Ordinary Shares on an internationally recognized securities exchange or automated quotation system (including any such securities exchange or automated quotation system in the U.S. or Hong Kong) that (a) results in issuances of Securities in such offering, including any Securities that may be issued upon the exercise of any over-allotment option granted to any underwriters, of no more than 15% of the Fully-Diluted Equity immediately after the consummation of such offering (giving effect to any applicable Post-Closing Redemption) and the issuance of the Option Shares; and (b) (i) in the event Investor has not effected a Qualified Option Exercise, with an offering price per Ordinary Share that results in the pre-money equity valuation of the Company implied in such public offering being in excess of 1.5 times the Initial Valuation and (ii) in the event Investor has effected a Qualified Option Exercise, with an offering price per Ordinary Share that is equal to or exceeds the Option Price (in each case, as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, combinations, reclassifications, recapitalizations and the like).

4. No Other Amendments or Modifications. Except as expressly set forth herein, all provisions of the Shareholders’ Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, including without limitation Parent’s obligations to effect the Post-Closing Redemption as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event within thirty (30) days following the IPO Option Closing.

5. Governing Law. This Amendment Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Hong Kong, without regard to the conflicts of laws rules stated therein.

6. Counterparts. This Amendment Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission, such as by electronic mail in “pdf” form) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

6. Miscellaneous. The provisions set forth in Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.04, 8.05, 8.08, 8.09, 8.10, 8.11, 8.12, 8.14 and 8. 15 shall apply mutatis mutandis to this Amendment Agreement as if such provisions were set forth herein.
