International plc and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and each of the other Underwriters named in Schedule A-1 hereto (collectively, the “Underwriters,” which term shall also include any underwriter substituted as hereinafter provided in Section 10 hereof), for whom Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. International plc and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. are acting as representatives (in such capacity, the “Representatives”), with respect to (i) the sale by the Company, and the Selling Shareholder, and the purchase by the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, of an aggregate of 2,749,200 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each ADS representing one ordinary share of the Company, par value US$0.00004 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) set forth in Schedule A-1 and Schedule A-2 hereto and (ii) the grant by the Company to the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, of the option described in Section 2(b) hereof to purchase all or any part of 410,800 additional ADSs to cover over-allotments, if any. The aforesaid 2,749,200 ADSs (the “Initial Securities”) to be purchased by the Underwriters and all or any part of the 410,800 ADSs subject to the option described in Section 2(b) hereof (the “Option Securities”) are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the “Securities.” Unless the context otherwise requires, each reference to the Initial Securities, the Option Securities or the Securities herein also includes the Ordinary Shares represented by such Securities.

The Company and the Selling Shareholder understand that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of the Securities in the United States and internationally outside of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) as soon as the Representatives deem advisable after this Agreement has been executed and delivered. Solely for purposes of this Agreement, the term PRC excludes Taiwan, The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“Hong Kong”) and The Macau Special Administrative Region.

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form F-3 (No. 333-192532), including the related preliminary prospectus or prospectuses, covering the registration of the Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and any document incorporated by reference therein. Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a prospectus in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430A (“Rule 430A”) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1933 Act (the “1933 Act Regulations”) and paragraph (b) of Rule 424 (“Rule 424(b)”) of the 1933 Act Regulations. The information included in such prospectus that was omitted from such registration statement at the time it became effective but that is deemed to be part of such registration statement at the time it became effective pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 430A is referred to as “Rule 430A Information.” Each prospectus used before such registration statement became effective, and any prospectus that omitted the Rule 430A Information, that was used after such effectiveness and prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, is herein called a “preliminary prospectus.” Such registration statement, including the amendments thereto, the exhibits and any schedules thereto, at the time it became effective, and including the Rule 430A Information, is herein called the “Registration Statement.” The Company has filed with the Commission a registration statement on Form F-6 (No. 333-170313) covering the registration of the ADSs under the 1933 Act. The registration statement relating to the ADSs, as amended at the time it became effective, is hereinafter referred to as the “ADS Registration Statement.” Any registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations is herein referred to as the “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement,” and after such filing the term “Registration Statement” shall include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. The final prospectus in the form first furnished to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Securities is herein called the “Prospectus.” The Company has filed, in accordance with Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “1934 Act”), a registration statement as amended (the “1934 Act Registration Statement”), on Form 8-A (File No. 001-34947) under the 1934 Act to register, under Section 12(b) of the 1934 Act, the Ordinary Shares and the ADSs. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the 1934 Act Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement (including any prospectus wrapper) to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“XXXXX”).

The ADSs purchased by the Underwriters will be evidenced by American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) to be issued pursuant to a deposit agreement dated November 16, 2010 (the “Deposit Agreement”) among the Company, Citibank, N.A., as depositary (the “Depositary”), and all owners and beneficial owners from time to time of the ADSs. Each ADS represents the right to receive one Ordinary Share deposited pursuant to the Deposit Agreement.

As of the Applicable Time (as defined below), neither (x) the Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus(es) (as defined below) issued at or prior to the Applicable Time and the Statutory Prospectus (as defined below) as of the Applicable Time and the information, if any, included on Schedule B hereto, all considered together (collectively, the “General Disclosure Package”), nor (y) any individual Issuer Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below), when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Any reference to the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus shall be deemed to include (i) the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the Commission pursuant to the 1934 Act on April 26, 2013 (the “Annual Report”) and (ii) all reports on Form 6-K that so indicate they are being incorporated by reference into the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, or any amendment or supplement thereto. All documents filed under the 1934 Act and so deemed to be included in the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, or any amendment or supplement thereto are hereinafter called the “1934 Act Reports”. The Annual Report and the 1934 Act Reports, when they were or are filed with the Commission, conformed or will conform in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the 1934 Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

As used in this subsection and elsewhere in this Agreement:

Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offer and sale of the Securities or until any earlier date that the issuer notified or notifies the Representatives as described in the next sentence, did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any preliminary prospectus or other prospectus deemed to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information then contained in the Registration Statement or the ADS Registration Statement or as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, if republished immediately following such event or development, would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (i) the Company has promptly notified or will promptly notify the Representatives and (ii) the Company has promptly amended or supplemented or will promptly amend or supplement such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.

The representations and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information is that described as such in Section 6(b) hereof.

Each preliminary prospectus (including the prospectus filed as part of the Registration Statement as originally filed or as part of any amendment thereto) complied when so filed in all material respects with the 1933 Act Regulations and each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with this offering was identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T under the 0000 Xxx.

(a)

Initial Securities. On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters 1,264,855 ADSs and the Selling Shareholder agrees to sell to the Underwriters the number of Initial Securities set forth opposite the name of such Selling Shareholder in Schedule A-2 hereof, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of Initial Securities set forth opposite the name of each Underwriter in Schedule A hereof, in each case at the price of US$[—] per ADS and subject to such adjustments among the Underwriters as the Representatives in their sole discretion shall make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional securities.

(b)

Option Securities. In addition, on the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby grants an option to the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, to purchase up to an additional 410,800 Option Securities, as set forth in Schedule A-2, at the price per ADS set forth in Section 2(a), less an amount, if any, per ADS equal to any dividends or distributions declared by the Company and payable on the Initial Securities but not payable on the Option Securities. The option hereby granted will expire 30 days after the date hereof and may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time only for the purpose of covering over-allotments which may be made in connection with the offering and distribution of the Initial Securities upon written notice two Business Days (as defined below) prior to the date and time of delivery specified therein by the Representatives to the Company setting forth the number of Option Securities as to which the several Underwriters are then exercising the option and the time and date of payment and delivery for such Option Securities. Any such time and date of delivery (a “Date of Delivery”) shall be determined by the Representatives, but shall not be later than seven full Business Days after the exercise of said option, nor in any event prior to the Closing Time, as hereinafter defined. If the option is exercised as to all or any portion of the Option Securities, each of the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, will purchase that proportion of the total number of Option Securities then being purchased which the number of Initial Securities set forth in Schedule A opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Initial Securities, subject in each case to such adjustments as the Representatives in their discretion shall make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional shares. “Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday, a Sunday or other day on which banks are required or authorized by law to be closed in the State of New York.

(c)

Payment. The Company and the Selling Shareholder will deliver the Initial Securities to or as instructed by the Representatives for the accounts of the several Underwriters through the facilities of the DTC in a form reasonably acceptable to the Representatives against payment of the purchase price by the Underwriters by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account at a bank reasonably acceptable to the Representatives drawn to the order of the Company, at 9:00 A.M., (New York City time), on the [third (fourth, if the pricing occurs after 4:30 P.M. (New York City time) on any given day)] Business Day after the date hereof (unless postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10), or at such other time not later than seven Business Days after such date as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives and the Company (such time and date of payment and delivery being herein called the “Closing Time”).

In addition, in the event that any or all of the Option Securities are purchased by the Underwriters, payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, such Option Securities shall be made on each Date of Delivery as specified in the notice from the Representatives to the Company and the Selling Shareholder.

The parties to this Agreement understand that each Underwriter has authorized the Representatives, for each such Underwriter’s account, to accept delivery of, receipt for, and make payment of the purchase price for, the Initial Securities and the Option Securities, if any, that it has agreed to purchase. Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. International plc and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., individually and not as a Representative of the Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment of the purchase price for the Initial Securities or the Option Securities, if any, to be purchased by any Underwriter whose funds have not been received by the Closing Time or such Date of Delivery, as the case may be, but such payment shall not relieve such Underwriter from its obligations hereunder.

The Underwriters shall deduct from the amount so payable to the Company and/or the Selling Shareholder pursuant to this Section 2(c) the gross commissions to the Underwriters and all expenses payable by the Company under Section 4(a) of this Agreement.

The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.

Filing of Amendments and 1934 Act Documents. If, at the time this Agreement is executed and delivered, it is necessary or appropriate for an amendment to the Registration Statement, or a Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, to be filed with the Commission and become effective before the Securities may be sold, the Company will use its best efforts to cause such amendment or such Registration Statement to be filed and become effective, and will pay any applicable fees in accordance with the 1933 Act Regulations, as soon as possible. The Company will give the Representatives notice of its intention to file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement or the 1934 Act Registration Statement (including any filing under Rule 462(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations) or any amendment, supplement or revision to either the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement and the 1934 Act Registration Statement at the time it became effective or to the Prospectus, and will furnish the Representatives with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file or use any such document to which the Representatives or counsel for the Underwriters shall object.

The Representatives may in their sole discretion waive on behalf of the Underwriters compliance with any conditions to the obligations of the Underwriters hereunder, whether in respect of a Closing Time, a Delivery Date or otherwise.

Section 6. Indemnification.

(a)	Indemnification of Underwriters.

(1)

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its partners, directors, officers, affiliates, as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act (each, an “Affiliate”), selling agents and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons as follows:

(i)

against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the ADS Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430A Information or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in the Statutory Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii)

against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 6(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company;

(iii)

against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representatives), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, this Section 6(a)(1) shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Underwriter furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430A Information, the Statutory Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). The parties hereto understand and agree that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 6(b) below.

(2)

The Selling Shareholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its partners, directors, officers, Affiliates, selling agents and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in Section 6(a)(1) above; provided, however, that (A) each Selling Shareholder’s agreement to indemnify and hold harmless hereunder shall only apply insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Selling Shareholder furnished to the Company in writing by such Selling Shareholder expressly for use under the caption “Principal and Selling Shareholders” in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); and (B) the aggregate amount of each Selling Shareholder’s liability pursuant to this section shall not exceed the aggregate amount of total proceeds (before deducting expenses and underwriting commissions) received by such Selling Shareholder from the sale of its Securities hereunder.

(b)

Indemnification of Company, Directors and Officers and the Selling Shareholder. Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and the Selling Shareholder against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnities contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430A Information, the Statutory Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Underwriter furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein. The parties hereto understand and agree that the only such information concerning such Underwriter furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the information contained in the first two sentences and the last two sentences of the twelfth paragraph under the heading “Underwriting” discussing possible stabilization measures and the addresses of the Representatives appearing in the fifteenth paragraph under the heading “Underwriting.”

(c)

Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Representatives, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company and the Selling Shareholder. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of or based upon the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d)

Settlement without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(a)(i) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into, and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

Section 7. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Shareholder on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions, which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Shareholder and the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus.

The relative fault of the Company and the Selling Shareholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Selling Shareholder or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 7, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each Underwriter’s Affiliates and selling agents shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the number of Initial Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule A hereto and not joint.

The provisions of this Section shall not affect any agreement among the Company and the Selling Shareholder with respect to contribution.

Section 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or any of the Affiliated Entities or of the Selling Shareholder submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or its Affiliates or selling agents, any person controlling any Underwriter, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company or any person controlling any Selling Shareholder and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Securities.

Section 9. Termination of Agreement.

(a)

Termination; General. The obligations of the several Underwriters hereunder shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus and General Disclosure Package, any material adverse change or any development involving a prospective change in the business, properties, condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or prospects of the Company and the Affiliated Entities taken as a whole, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, the effect of which change or development is, individually or together with any other event specified in this clause, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, material and adverse such as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States, PRC, Hong Kong, the Cayman Islands or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in U.S., Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, PRC or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is, individually or together with any other event specified in this clause, such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, or (iii) if trading generally has been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, the NYSE, or (iv) if trading of any securities of the Company on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the FINRA or any other governmental authority, or (vi) if a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or Hong Kong or if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities or authorities in or Hong Kong.

If the Representatives elect to terminate this agreement as provided in Section 9, the Company, the Selling Shareholder and each other Underwriter shall be notified promptly in writing.

(b)

Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided further that Section 1, Section 6, Section 7 and Section 8 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

Section 10. Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Time or a Date of Delivery to purchase the Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), the Representatives shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representatives shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:

(a)

if the number of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the number of Securities to be purchased on such date, each of the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or

(b)

if the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the number of Securities to be purchased on such date, and if neither the non-defaulting Underwriters nor the Company shall make arrangements within five Business Days for the purchase of all the Defaulted Securities, this Agreement or, with respect to any Date of Delivery which occurs after the Closing Time, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company to sell the Option Securities to be purchased and sold on such Date of Delivery, shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter.

No action taken pursuant to this Section 10 shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement or, in the case of a Date of Delivery which is after the Closing Time, which does not result in a termination of the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase and the Company to sell the relevant Option Securities, as the case may be, either the (i) Representatives or (ii) the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding five Business Days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 10.

Section 11. Default by the Company.

If the Company shall fail at the Closing Time or at any Date of Delivery to sell the number of Securities that it is obligated to sell hereunder, then this Agreement shall terminate without any liability on the part of any nondefaulting party; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 1, Section 4, Section 6, Section 7, Section 8, Section 15 and Section 17 shall remain in full force and effect. No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve the Company from liability, if any, in respect of such default.

Section 12. Taxation. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, all amounts payable to the Underwriters under the terms of this agreement are exclusive of value added tax, goods and services tax, business tax, stamp duty, withholding taxes (but, for the avoidance of doubt, only those withholding taxes applicable to gross income or gross receipts of the Underwriters received by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement) and/or any other similar taxes (the “Taxes”). The Company represents that, except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, it is not carrying on business in the PRC and/or it is a tax resident of the Cayman Islands and no other jurisdictions for tax purposes. However, if for whatever reason, the Company is treated as a PRC tax resident or it has a permanent establishment in the PRC after the date hereto, the Company shall co-operate with the Underwriters and comply with the relevant PRC tax laws and regulations in the tax clearance process. The Company shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that, after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by any taxing authority of any jurisdiction from which such payment is made, every payment to the Underwriters will not be less than the amount provided for herein. In the event the Company must pay Taxes to a relevant taxing authority, the Company shall forward to the Underwriters for their records an official receipt or a copy of the official receipt issued by the taxing authority or other document evidencing such payment. All amounts charged by the Underwriters will be invoiced together with the Taxes, where appropriate. All the payments should be made by the Company from its own bank account outside China. The Underwriters agree to provide the Company with any and all forms or other documentation or information that the Company reasonably requests to enable the Company to minimize the amount of any such Taxes.

Section 13. Tax Disclosure. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, immediately upon commencement of discussions with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company (and each employee, representative or other agent of the Company) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Company relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For purposes of the foregoing, the term “tax treatment” is the purported or claimed U.S. federal income tax treatment of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the term “tax structure” includes any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. federal income tax treatment of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 14. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriters shall be directed to Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Eleven Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000-0000, XXX, attention of the General Counsel; Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co.

Section 15. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. Each of the Company and the Selling Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering price of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, (b) in connection with the offering contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company and the Selling Shareholder, or its respective shareholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (c) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or any Selling Shareholder with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or any Selling Shareholder on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Company or any Selling Shareholder with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of each of the Company and the Selling Shareholder, and (e) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Company and the Selling Shareholder has consulted its own respective legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.

Section 16. Parties. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Shareholder and their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Shareholder and their respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Section 6 and Section 7 and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Shareholder and their respective successors, and said controlling persons and officers and directors and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

Section 17. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

The Company and the Selling Shareholder hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company and each Selling Shareholder irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in Federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York and irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit or proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Company and the Selling Shareholder irrevocably appoints Law Debenture Corporate Services Inc., currently of 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, as its authorized agent in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York upon which process may be served in any such suit or proceeding, and agrees that service of process upon such agent, and written notice of said service to the Company or Selling Shareholder by the person serving the same to the address provided in Section 14 hereof, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company or such Selling Shareholder in any such suit or proceeding. The Company and the Selling Shareholder further agrees to take any and all action as may be necessary to maintain such designation and appointment of such agent in full force and effect for a period of seven years from the date of this Agreement.

Section 18. Judgment Currency. The obligations of the Company and the Selling Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement in respect of any sum due to any Underwriter shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first Business Day, following receipt by such Underwriter of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, on which (and only to the extent that) such Underwriter may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency; if the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Underwriter hereunder, the Company and the Selling Shareholder agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Underwriter against such loss.

Section 19. TIME. TIME SHALL BE OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH HEREIN, SPECIFIED TIMES OF DAY REFER TO NEW YORK CITY TIME.

Section 20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.

Section 21. Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return to the Company and the Selling Shareholder a counterpart hereof, whereupon this instrument, along with all counterparts, will become a binding agreement among the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Shareholder in accordance with its terms.

As Representatives of the several Underwriters

named in Schedule A attached to the Underwriting Agreement (as defined below)

Re: Bitauto Holdings Limited

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that you, as representatives (the “Representatives”) on behalf of the several underwriters named in Schedule A to such agreement (collectively, the “Underwriters”), proposes to enter into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Bitauto Holdings Limited (the “Company”), a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, with respect to the public offering (the “Offering”) of American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”), each representing one ordinary share of the Company, par value US$0.00004 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”).

In recognition of the benefit that such an offering will confer upon the undersigned, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned will not, for a period of 90 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”), without the prior written consent of the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters, (1) directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell, announce the intention to sell, issue, lend, grant or purchase any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, any of the ADSs, Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs or any securities of the Company that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for ADSs or Ordinary Shares (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”), whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition; or (2) enter into any swap or any other agreement or transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction described in (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of the Lock-Up Securities or other securities, in cash or otherwise; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude the undersigned from engaging in any transaction in the securities of another company in the same sector or in a similar sector as that of the Company. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) the sale and transfer of the ADSs and the underlying Ordinary Shares in the Offering, (b) transactions relating to any Lock-Up Security acquired in the Offering or in open market transactions after the completion of the Offering, (c) the exercise of any of the undersigned’s rights to acquire any Lock-Up Security of the Company issued pursuant to any share option or similar equity incentive or compensation plan of the Company (collectively, the “Equity Incentive Grants”), provided that in each case, such plan is in effect as of the date of and disclosed in the prospectus to the Offering (it being understood that any subsequent sale, transfer or disposition of any securities of the Company issued upon exercise of such Equity Incentive Grants shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement), (d) transfers of Lock-Up Securities to affiliates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the 0000 Xxx) of the undersigned, and also, in the case of any shareholder that is a fund, a transfer to funds under common management with such shareholder or the limited partners, general partners or other principals of such fund or such shareholder, and (e) transfers of Lock-Up Securities to (i) an immediate family member or a trust formed for the benefit of the undersigned or any immediate family member of the undersigned, (ii) as a bona fide gift, or (iii) through will or intestacy, provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (d) and (e), each transferee, donee or distributee shall sign and deliver a lock up letter substantially in the form of this Lock-Up Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family member” means the spouse, domestic partner, any lineal descendant, father, mother, brother or sister of the transferor.

Exhibit D-1

The undersigned further agrees that, prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement during the period from the date of this Lock-up Agreement to and including the 34th day following the expiration of the initial Lock-Up Period, it will give notice (a “Notice”) thereof to the Company and will not consummate such transaction or take any such action unless it has received written confirmation from the Company that the Lock-Up Period (as may have been extended pursuant to the previous paragraph) has expired (a “Written Confirmation”); provided that, if the Company has not provided a Written Confirmation to the undersigned within two business days after receipt of a Notice, the undersigned shall be permitted to engage in the transaction that is subject to this Lock-Up Agreement. As used in this letter, a “business day” shall mean each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is not a day on which banking institutions in the People’s Republic of China are generally authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close. At any time and without public notice, the Representatives may, in their sole discretion, provide consent to release some or all the Lock-Up Securities from this Lock-Up Agreement.

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Lock-Up Securities except in compliance with this Lock-Up Agreement.

The undersigned further understands that this Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

Exhibit D-2

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Underwriting Agreement is terminated for any reason or if the closing of the Offering has not occurred on or prior to January 31, 2014, then this Lock-Up Agreement shall thereafter automatically terminate and be of no force and effect. This Lock-Up Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Exhibit D-3

Very truly yours,
