NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

Section 1

Party B hereby irrevocably nominates, appoints and constitutes Party A (as well as its successors, including a liquidator, if any, replacing Party A) as its Attorney-in-Fact to exercise on Party B’s behalf any and all rights that Party B has in respect of Party B’s shares in Party C conferred by relevant laws and regulations and the articles of association of Party C, including without limitation, the following rights (collectively, “Shareholder Rights”):

Section 3

Party C confirms, acknowledges and agrees to the appointment of the Attorney-in-Fact to exercise any and all of the Shareholder Rights. Party C further confirms and acknowledges that any and all acts done or to be done, decisions made or to be made, and instruments or other documents executed or to be executed by the Attorney-in-Fact, shall therefore be as valid and effectual as though done, made or executed by Party B.

Section 4

(n) Party B hereby acknowledges that, if Party B increases its equity interest in Party C, whether by subscribing additional equity interest or otherwise, any Shareholder Rights in connection with such additional equity interest acquired by Party B shall be automatically subject to this Agreement and the Attorney-in-Fact shall have the right to exercise the Shareholder Rights with respect to such additional equity interest on behalf of Party B as described in Section 1 hereunder; if Party B’s share in Party C is transferred to any other party, whether by voluntary transfer, judicial sale, foreclosure sale, or otherwise, any such equity interest in Party C so transferred remains subject to this Agreement and the Attorney-in-Fact shall continue to have the right to exercise the Shareholder Rights with respect to such equity interest in Party C so transferred as described in Section 1 hereunder.

(o) Furthermore, for the avoidance of any doubt, if any documents, such as an equity interest transfer agreement, are required to be signed for Party B to fulfill his/her obligations under any exclusive option agreement and equity interest pledge agreement(s) that Party B enters into with Party A or its affiliate(s) (as the same may be amended from time to time), the Attorney-in-Fact shall have the right to sign such documents and perform all shareholder obligations under the exclusive option agreement and the equity interest pledge agreement(s) on behalf of Party B. If required by the Attorney-in-Fact, Party B shall sign any documents and fix the chops and/or seals thereon and Party B shall take any other actions as necessary for purposes of consummation of the aforesaid share transfer.

Section 5

Party B further covenants with and undertakes to Party A that, if Party B receives any dividends, interest, any other forms of capital distributions, residual assets upon liquidation, or proceeds or consideration from the transfer of equity interest as a result of, or in connection with, Party B’s equity interest in Party C, Party B shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, remit all such dividends, interest, capital distributions, assets, proceeds or consideration to Party A or the entity designated by Party A without any compensation.

Section 6

Party B hereby authorizes the Attorney-in-Fact to exercise the Shareholder Rights according to its own judgment without any oral or written instruction from Party B.

Section 7

This Agreement shall become effective as of the date hereof when it is duly executed by the Parties’ authorized representatives and shall remain effective as long as Party C exists.

Section 11

Either Party shall forthwith on demand indemnify the other Party against any claim, loss, liability or damage (“Loss”) which such Party shall incur as a consequence of any breach by the other Party of this Agreement provided that neither Party shall be liable to indemnify the other Party for any Loss to the extent that such Loss arises from the willful misconduct, breach of applicable law, regulation or contractual obligation or from the material negligence of the other Party or its directors, officers, employees, or agents. The Parties agree that this clause shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
