(1) if, within ten (10) days of the receipt of any request of the Holders to Register any Registrable Securities under Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, the Cayman Company gives notice to the Initiating Holders of its bona fide intention to effect the filing for its own account of a Registration Statement of Ordinary Shares within ninety (90) days of receipt of that request; provided, that the Cayman Company is actively employing in good faith its reasonably best efforts to cause that Registration Statement to become effective within ninety (90) days of receipt of that request; provided, further, that the Holders are entitled to join such Registration in accordance with Section 3 (other than an Exempt Registration);

(2) during the period starting with the date of filing by the Cayman Company of, and ending six (6) months following the effective date of any Registration Statement pertaining to Ordinary Shares of the Cayman Company; provided, that the Holders are entitled to join such Registration in accordance with Section 3 other than an Exempt Registration; or

(3) in any jurisdiction in which the Cayman Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such Registration or qualification, unless the Cayman Company is already subject to service of process in such jurisdiction.

(ii) If, after receiving a request from Investor pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 hereof, the Cayman Company furnishes to the Holders a certificate signed by the chief executive officer of the Cayman Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Cayman Company or its members for a Registration Statement to be filed in the near future, then the Cayman Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period during which such filing would be materially detrimental, provided, that the Cayman Company may not utilize this right for more than ninety (90) days on any one occasion or more than once during any twelve (12) month period; provided, further, that the Cayman Company may not Register any other its securities during such period (except for Exempt Registrations).

2.4 Underwritten Offerings. If, in connection with a request to Register the Registrable Securities under Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, the Initiating Holders seek to distribute such Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering, they shall so advise the Cayman Company as a part of the request, and the Cayman Company shall include such information in the written notice to other Holders described in Section 2.1 and Section 2.2. In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwritten offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwritten offering (unless otherwise agreed by a majority-in-interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder, taken together) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwritten offering shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters of internationally recognized standing selected for such underwritten offering by the Cayman Company and reasonably acceptable to the Holders of a majority voting power of all Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such Registration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter advises the Cayman Company that marketing factors (including without limitation the aggregate number of securities requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the Persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten in a Registration pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, the underwriters may exclude up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities requested to be Registered but only after first excluding all other Equity Securities (including the Equity Securities held by employees and directors of the Cayman Company) from the Registration and underwritten offering and so long as the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration is allocated among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities requested by the Holders to be included; provided that the Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for Registration from the underwriting by written notice to the Cayman Company and the underwriters delivered at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement, and such withdrawal request for Registration shall not be deemed to constitute one of the Registration rights granted pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, as the case may be. If any Holder disapproves the terms of any underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Cayman Company and the underwriters delivered at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwritten offering shall be withdrawn from the Registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Cayman Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to the Investor to the nearest one hundred (100) shares.

Schedule B - 3

3. Piggyback Registrations.

3.1 Registration of the Cayman Company’s Securities. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if the Cayman Company proposes to Register for its own account any of its Equity Securities, or for the account of any holder (other than a Holder) of Equity Securities any of such holder’s Equity Securities, in connection with the public offering of such securities (except for Exempt Registrations), the Cayman Company shall promptly give each Holder written notice of such Registration and, upon the written request of any Holder given within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such notice, the Cayman Company shall use its reasonably best efforts to include in such Registration any Registrable Securities thereby requested to be Registered by such Holder. If a Holder decides not to include all or any of its Registrable Securities in such Registration by the Cayman Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent Registration Statement or Registration Statements as may be filed by the Cayman Company, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

3.2 Right to Terminate Registration. The Cayman Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any Registration initiated by it under Section 3.1 prior to the effectiveness of such Registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to participate therein. The expenses of such withdrawn Registration shall be borne by the Cayman Company in accordance with Section 4.3.

Schedule B - 4

3.3 Underwriting Requirements.

(i) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of the Cayman Company’s Equity Securities, the Cayman Company shall not be required to Register the Registrable Securities of a Holder under this Section 3 unless such Holder’s Registrable Securities are included in the underwritten offering and such Holder enters into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters of internationally recognized standing selected by the Cayman Company and setting forth such terms for the underwritten offering as have been agreed upon between the Cayman Company and the underwriters. In the event the underwriters advise the Holders seeking Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3 in writing that market factors (including the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the Persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten, the underwriters may exclude all of the Registrable Securities requested to be Registered in the IPO and up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities requested to be Registered in any other public offering, but in any case only after first excluding all other Equity Securities (including the Equity Securities held by employees and directors of the Cayman Company and except for securities sold for the account of the Cayman Company) from the Registration and underwriting and so long as the Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration are allocated among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities requested by such Holders to be included. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Cayman Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to the Investor to the nearest one hundred (100) shares.

(ii) If any Holder disapproves the terms of any underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Cayman Company and the underwriters delivered at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from the underwritten offering shall be withdrawn from the Registration.

3.4 Exempt Registrations. The Cayman Company shall have no obligation to Register any Registrable Securities under this Section 3 in connection with a Registration by the Cayman Company (i) relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Cayman Company share incentive plan, (ii) relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act (or comparable provision under the Laws of another jurisdiction, as applicable), (iii) on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities and does not permit secondary sales (collectively, “Exempt Registrations”).

4. Registration Procedures.

4.1 Registration Procedures and Obligations. Whenever required under this Agreement to effect the Registration of any Registrable Securities held by the Investor, the Cayman Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(i) prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to those Registrable Securities and use its reasonably best efforts to cause that Registration Statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities Registered thereunder, keep the Registration Statement effective for up to one hundred and twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the distribution thereunder has been completed; provided, however, that (a) such one hundred and twenty (120) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period any Holder refrains from selling any Registrable Securities included in such Registration at the written request of the underwriter(s) for such Registration, and (b) in the case of any Registration of Registrable Securities on Form F-3 or Form S-3 that are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, subject to compliance with applicable rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, such one hundred and twenty (120) day period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the Registration Statement or such comparable form, as the case may be, effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold;

Schedule B - 5

(ii) prepare and file with the Commission amendments and supplements to that Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of Applicable Securities Laws with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the Registration Statement;

(iii) furnish to the Investor the number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, required by Applicable Securities Laws, and any other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them;

(iv) use its reasonably best efforts to Register and qualify the securities covered by the Registration Statement under the securities Laws of any jurisdiction, as reasonably requested by the Holders, provided, that the Cayman Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdictions;

(v) in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of the offering;

(vi) promptly notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under Applicable Securities Laws of (a) the issuance of any stop order by the Commission, or (b) the happening of any event or the existence of any condition as a result of which any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, or if in the opinion of counsel for the Cayman Company it is necessary to supplement or amend such prospectus to comply with law, and at the request of such Holder promptly prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made or such prospectus, as supplemented or amended, shall comply with law;

Schedule B - 6

(vii) furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered for sale in connection with a Registration pursuant to this Agreement, (A) an opinion, dated the date of the sale, of the counsel representing the Cayman Company for the purposes of the Registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering; and (B) comfort letters dated as of the closing date of the sale of the Registrable Securities, from the independent certified public accountants of the Cayman Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters;

(viii) otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission to the extent applicable to the applicable Registration Statement and use its reasonably best efforts to make generally available to its security holders (or otherwise provide in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act, no later than forty-five (45) days after the end of a twelve (12) month period (or ninety (90) days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Cayman Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of such registration statement, which statement shall cover such twelve (12) month period, subject to any proper and necessary extensions;

(ix) not, without the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority of voting power of the then issued and outstanding Registrable Securities, make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Act;

(x) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities Registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and, where applicable, a number assigned by the Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures for all those Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of the Registration; and

(xi) take all reasonable action necessary to list the Registrable Securities on the primary exchange on which the Cayman Company’s securities are then traded or, in connection with an Overseas IPO, the primary exchange on which the Cayman Company’s securities will be traded.

4.2 Information from Holder. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Cayman Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Cayman Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the Registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

4.3 Expenses of Registration. All expenses, other than the underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement (which shall be borne by the Holders requesting Registration on a pro rata basis in proportion to their respective numbers of Registrable Securities sold in such Registration), incurred in connection with Registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this Agreement, including (without limitation) all Registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Cayman Company and reasonable fees and disbursement of one counsel for the Investor, and if requested by the Cayman Company, the Cayman Company’s underwriter or underwriters, or any of their counsels, the costs and expenses incurred in connection with any special legal opinion, shall be borne by the Cayman Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Cayman Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 4.3 if (x) the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holder, and (y) such request does not constitute one (1) demand registration as defined under Section 2.1 or Section 2.2. In addition, the Company shall not be required to pay for expense for any special audit conducted for the purpose of such Registration in excess of US$25,000 (in which case, all participating Holders shall bear such excess special audit expense pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities to be Registered in such Registration).

Schedule B - 7

5. Registration-Related Indemnification.

5.1 Cayman Company Indemnity.

(i) In the event of a Registration under this Agreement, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, the Cayman Company will indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by Law and the Restated M&A and hold harmless such Holder, such Holder’s partners, officers, directors, employees, shareholders, members, and legal counsel, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) and each Person, if any, who controls (as defined in the Securities Act) such Holder or underwriter, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under Laws which are applicable to the Cayman Company and relate to action or inaction required of the Cayman Company in connection with any Registration, qualification, or compliance, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each a “Violation”): (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement, on the effective date thereof (including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto), (b) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, on the effective date thereof (including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto), a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (c) any violation or alleged violation by the Cayman Company of Applicable Securities Laws, or any rule or regulation promulgated under Applicable Securities Laws. The Cayman Company will reimburse, as incurred, each such Holder, underwriter or Person who controls (as defined in the Securities Act) the Investor or underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.

(ii) The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Cayman Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall the Cayman Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises solely out of or is solely based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished for use in connection with such Registration by any such Holder, such Holder’s partners, officers, directors, and legal counsel, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) and each Person, if any, who controls (as defined in the Securities Act) such Holder or underwriter.

Schedule B - 8

5.2 Holders Indemnity.

(i) In the event of a Registration under this Agreement, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, each selling Holder that has included Registrable Securities in a Registration will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Cayman Company, its directors and officers, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), any other Holder selling securities in connection with such Registration and each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Cayman Company, such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject, under Applicable Securities Laws, or any rule or regulation promulgated under Applicable Securities Laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder in a certificate expressly for use in connection with such Registration; and each of such Holders will reimburse, as incurred, any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.2, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. No Holder’s liability under this Section 5.2 (when combined with any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 5.4) shall exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder from the offering of securities made in connection with that Registration.

(ii) The indemnity contained in this Section 5.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

5.3 Notice of Indemnification Claim. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under Section 5.1 or Section 5.2, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying parties. An indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonably incurred fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver a written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party, to the extent so prejudiced, of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 5, but the omission to deliver a written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 5.

5.4 Contribution. If any indemnification provided for in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case: (A) a Holder will not be required to contribute any amount (after combined with any amounts paid by the Investor pursuant to Section 5.2) in excess of the net proceeds to such Holder from the sale of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such Registration Statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Schedule B - 9

5.5 Underwriting Agreement. To the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

5.6 Survival. The obligations of the Cayman Company and Investor under this Section 5 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement under this Agreement.

6. Additional Registration-Related Undertakings.

6.1 Reports under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any comparable provision of any Applicable Securities Laws that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Cayman Company to the public without Registration or pursuant to a Registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any comparable form in a jurisdiction other than the United States), the Cayman Company agrees to:

(i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 (or comparable provision, if any, under Applicable Securities Laws in any jurisdiction where the Cayman Company’s securities are listed), at all times following ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first Registration under the Securities Act filed by the Cayman Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;

(ii) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Cayman Company under all Applicable Securities Laws; and

(iii) at any time following ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first Registration under the Securities Act filed by the Cayman Company for an offering of its securities to the general public by the Cayman Company, promptly furnish to the Holder holding Registrable Securities, upon request (a) a written statement by the Cayman Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of all Applicable Securities Laws at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements or, at any time after so qualified, that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any form comparable thereto under Applicable Securities Laws of any jurisdiction where the Cayman Company’s securities are listed), (b) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Cayman Company and such other reports and documents as filed by the Cayman Company with the Commission, and (c) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the Commission, that permits the selling of any such securities without Registration or pursuant to Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any form comparable thereto under Applicable Securities Laws of any jurisdiction where the Cayman Company’s Securities are listed).

Schedule B - 10

6.2 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Cayman Company shall not, without the written consent of the holders of majority voting power of Class B Ordinary Shares, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any Equity Securities of the Cayman Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder (i) to include such Equity Securities in any Registration filed under Section 1 or Section 3, unless under the terms of such agreement such holder or prospective holder may include such Equity Securities in any such Registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such Equity Securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included, (ii) to demand Registration of their Equity Securities, or (iii) cause the Cayman Company to include such Equity Securities in any Registration filed under Section 1 or Section 3 hereof on a basis pari passu with or more favorable to such holder or prospective holder than is provided to the Holders of Registrable Securities.

6.3 Termination of Registration Rights. The registration rights set forth in Section 2 and Section 3 of this Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the date that is five (5) years from the date of closing of a Overseas IPO, (ii) with respect to any Holder, the date on which such Holder may sell all of such Holder’s Registrable Securities under Rule 144 of the Securities Act in any ninety (90)-day period, provided that the Investor has received a special legal opinion issued by a qualified counsel, at the cost of the Group Companies, confirming that the Investor meets the requirements of Rule 144 of the Securities Act (or any rules comparable thereto under Applicable Securities Laws of any jurisdiction where the Cayman Company’s Securities are listed).

6.4 Exercise of Ordinary Share Equivalents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement, the Cayman Company shall have no obligation to Register Registrable Securities which, if constituting Ordinary Share Equivalents, have not been exercised, converted or exchanged, as applicable, for Ordinary Shares as of the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, but the Cayman Company shall cooperate and facilitate any such exercise, conversion or exchange as requested by the Holder.

6.5 Intent. The terms of Sections 1 through 6 are drafted primarily in contemplation of an offering of securities in the United States of America. The Parties recognize, however, the possibility that securities may be qualified or registered for offering to the public in a jurisdiction other than the United States of America where registration rights have significance or that the Cayman Company might effect an offering in the United States of America in the form of American Depositary Receipts or American Depositary Shares. Accordingly:

(i) it is their intention that, whenever this Agreement refers to a Law, form, process or institution of the United States of America but the Parties wish to effectuate qualification or registration in a different jurisdiction where registration rights have significance, reference in this Agreement to the Laws or institutions of the United States shall be read as referring, mutatis mutandis, to the comparable Laws or institutions of the jurisdiction in question; and

(ii) it is agreed that the Cayman Company will not undertake any listing of American Depositary Receipts, American Depositary Shares or any other security derivative of the Ordinary Shares unless arrangements have been made reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the shareholders of the Cayman Company to ensure that the spirit and intent of this Agreement will be realized and that the Cayman Company is committed to take such actions as are necessary such that the shareholders of the Cayman Company will enjoy rights corresponding to the rights hereunder to sell their Registrable Securities in a public offering in the United States of America as if the Cayman Company had listed Ordinary Shares in lieu of such derivative securities.

7. Assignments and Transfers; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives, but shall not otherwise be for the benefit of any third party. The rights of the Investor hereunder (including, without limitation, registration rights) are assignable, and the obligations of the Investor hereunder are transferrable, in each case, to an Affiliate, or to a third party in connection with the transfer of Equity Securities of the Cayman Company held by such Investor to such third party but only to the extent of such transfer. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of each other Party hereunder shall not otherwise be assigned or transferred without the mutual written consent of the other Parties except as expressly provided herein.
