Such shareholder’s rights (hereinafter referred to as “proxy rights”) shall include but not limited to:

2) Exercising all of Party B’s shareholder’s rights, voting rights under PRC Laws (including all laws, rules, regulations, notices, interpretations or other binding documents promulgated by any central or regional legislative, administrative or judicial departments before or after signing this agreement, which are hereinafter referred to as “PRC Laws”) and Party C’s articles of association (including any other shareholders’ voting rights specified after the articles of association are revised), including but not limited to rights to share dividends, sell or transfer or pledge Party C’s equity in part or in whole;
3) Acting as Party C’s legal representative, Chairman of the Board of Directors, executive director, supervisor, CEO, manager or senior manager and/or designate, appoint or replace Party C’s legal representative (Chairman of the Board of Directors), director, supervisor, CEO (or manager) and other senior managers on behalf of Party B according to particular clauses of election of the legal representative in Party C’s articles of association;

1.2 Without limiting generality of the power granted hereunder, Party A shall own the power and authorities hereunder, sign the share transfer contract (to which Party B must be a party) agreed and defined in the Exclusive Call Option Agreement on behalf of Party B, and perform the Equity Pledge Agreement and the Exclusive Option Agreement which were signed on the same day this agreement was signed and to which Party B is also a party.

1.4 Party B hereby specially undertakes that in case of Party C’s bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution or termination, all assets obtained by Party B after such bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution or termination, including Party C’s equity, shall be transferred to Party A for free or at the minimum prices and within the limits permitted by current PRC Laws, or the current liquidator shall sell all of Party C’s assets (including the equity) at its discretion for the purpose of protecting interests of Party A’s direct or indirect shareholders and/or the creditor’s interests.
1.5 Party B agrees that Party A shall have rights to transfer the proxy rights to a third party at its discretion with respect to the matters under Article 1.1. The trustee and/or shall exercise the proxy rights as if Party B is exercising its shareholder’s rights personally. The proxy rights shall be granted and entrusted on the premise that the trustee is a member of Party A’s Board of Directors, or a Chinese citizen designated by the Board of Directors through negotiation, and that the trustee agrees to such authorization and consignment. When Party A notifies Party B in writing of replacing the trustee, Party B shall immediately agree that the other entity or Chinese citizen appointed by Party A may exercise such proxy rights, and sign the power of attorney with the content and format as shown in Appendix 1 of this agreement. The new power of attorney shall supersede the original one once it is drafted. Besides, Party B shall notify related personnel through a notice or other forms of announcement to announce or specify that the original power of attorney has been nullified.

The Parties shall try to be exempt from obeying these revised laws or new rules by all lawful means. If the adverse impacts on any party’s economic benefits can’t be alleviated according to this agreement, all Parties shall promptly negotiate with each other and make all necessary revisions to this agreement after the affected party notifies all other Parties, in order to perform all such requisite revisions and protect the affected party’s economic benefits.
