3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, excluding any disclosures set forth in risk factors or any “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers as follows:

3.1. Organization and Power. The Company is a company duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands, has the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted and is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its business requires such qualification, except where such failure of the Company to be in good standing or to have such power and authority or to so qualify would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.2. Capitalization.

(a) As of June 1, 2015, (i) the total number of outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value US$0.001, of the Company was 224,299,179, (ii) the total number of outstanding Ordinary Shares was 136,164,846, (iii) the total number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options to acquire Ordinary Shares was 24,783,792, (iv) the total number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of warrants to acquire Ordinary Shares was 11,450,000, and (v) no other shares of stock or options or rights to acquire stock were outstanding. All such issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. From December 31, 2014 through the date of this Agreement, no dividends have been paid with respect to the Ordinary Shares and no dividends have been declared with respect to the Ordinary Shares.

(b) As of the date of this Agreement, except as set forth in Section 3.2(a) hereof, and except for pursuant to the Company’s Benefit Plans and as disclosed in the SEC Reports, there are no existing options, warrants, calls, preemptive (or similar) rights, subscriptions or other rights, agreements or commitments obligating the Company to issue, transfer or sell, or cause to be issued, transferred or sold, any capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for such capital stock, and there are no outstanding contractual obligations of the Company to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of its shares of capital stock.

3.3. Registration Rights. Except as set forth in the Transaction Agreements, the Company has not granted to any Person the right to require the Company to register Ordinary Shares on or after the date of this Agreement.

3.4. Authorization. The Company has all requisite corporate power to enter into the Transaction Agreements and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of the Transaction Agreements. All corporate action on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization of the Securities, the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein has been taken. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements by the Company, the issuance of the ADSs upon conversion of the Notes and the Ordinary Shares underlying such ADSs in accordance with their terms, the deposit of the Ordinary Shares in respect thereof and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated herein and therein do not require any approval of the Company’s stockholders (other than such approval as has already been obtained). Assuming this Agreement constitutes the legal and binding agreement of the Purchasers, this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws relating to or affecting creditors generally or by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Upon their respective execution by the Company and the other parties thereto and assuming that they constitute legal and binding agreements of the other parties thereto, each of the Registration Rights Agreement, the VCOC Letter, the Indenture and the Notes will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws relating to or affecting creditors generally or by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The Board of Directors of the Company has approved this Agreement, the issuance of the Notes, and the ADSs issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the Ordinary Shares underlying such ADSs, the deposit of the Ordinary Shares in respect thereof and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

3.5. Valid Issuance. (a) The Notes being purchased by the Purchasers hereunder will, upon issuance pursuant to the terms hereof and the terms of the Indenture and upon payment therefor, be valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Indenture, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws relating to or affecting creditors generally or by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). At or prior to the Closing and at all times thereafter, the Company will have authorized and have available for issuance at least the number of Ordinary Shares to be deposited with the Depositary in respect of the ADSs into which the Notes may be converted. The Ordinary Shares and ADSs issuable upon conversion of the Notes have been duly authorized for issuance and, when issued upon conversion of the Notes will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, assuming due issuance of the ADSs by the Depositary, and will not be subject to any pre-emptive or similar rights and will rank pari passu in all respects with all other existing Ordinary Shares and ADSs. For the purposes of this representation, the term “non-assessable” in relation to the Ordinary Shares and ADSs means that holders of such Ordinary Shares and ADSs, having fully paid up all amounts due on such Ordinary Shares and ADSs, are under no further personal liability to contribute to the assets or liabilities of the Company in their capacities purely as holders of such Ordinary Shares or ADSs. Subject to the accuracy of the representations made by the Purchasers in Section 4 hereof, the Notes will be issued to the Purchasers in compliance with applicable exemptions from (i) the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and (ii) the registration and qualification requirements of applicable securities laws of the states of the United States. As of the date hereof, the Company is a WKSI and is eligible to file as of the date hereof a registration statement on Form F-3 under the Securities Act.

(b) The Deposit Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Depositary, constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforceability, to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. Upon due execution and delivery by the Depositary of American depositary receipts (“ADRs”) evidencing the ADSs to be issued upon conversion of the Notes and the deposit of the Ordinary Shares in respect thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, such ADRs will be duly and validly issued and the holders of such ADRs will be entitled to the rights specified therein and in the Deposit Agreement.

3.6. No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements by the Company, the issuance of the Ordinary Shares and ADSs upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with their terms and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) violate any provision of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company or (ii) conflict with or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation, a change of control right or to a loss of a benefit under any agreement or instrument, credit facility, franchise, license, judgment, order, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulations, applicable to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective properties or assets, except, in the case of clause (ii), as would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.7. Consents. All consents, approvals, orders and authorizations required on the part of the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement and the Notes and the issuance of the Ordinary Shares and ADSs upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with their terms have been obtained or made, other than (i) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act or any foreign antitrust requirements in connection with the issuance of Ordinary Shares and ADSs upon conversion of the Notes and (ii) such consents, approvals, orders and authorizations the failure of which to make or obtain would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) None of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any of their respective directors or officers or, to the knowledge of the Company, any agent, employee, affiliate or representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is an individual or entity (“Relevant Person”) currently the subject or target of any sanctions administered or enforced by the United States Government, including, without limitation, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, Her Majesty’s Treasury, or other relevant sanctions authority (collectively, “Sanctions”), nor is the Company located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is the subject of Sanctions; and the Company will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the sale of the Securities, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiaries, joint venture partners or other Relevant Person, to fund any activities of or business with any Relevant Person, or in any country or territory, that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of Sanctions or in any other manner that will result in a violation by any Relevant Person (including any Relevant Person participating in the transactions contemplated hereby, whether as underwriter, advisor, investor or otherwise) of Sanctions.

(c) None of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any of their respective directors or officers or, to the knowledge of the Company, any agent, employee, affiliate or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such persons of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “FCPA”), including, without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has conducted their businesses in compliance with applicable anti-corruption laws and will maintain policies and procedures designed to promote and achieve compliance with such laws and with the representation and warranty contained herein.

(b) The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports (collectively, the “Financial Statements”) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the dates indicated, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods therein specified, all in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis (“GAAP”) throughout the periods therein specified (except as otherwise noted therein, and in the case of quarterly financial statements except for the absence of footnote disclosure and subject, in the case of interim periods, to normal year-end adjustments).

3.10. Internal Controls and Procedures. The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures as such terms are defined in, and required by, Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the 1934 Act. Such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or furnishes under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. The Company maintains a system of internal controls over financial reporting sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (a) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations and (b) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP. The Company’s management has completed an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s system of internal controls over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, and such assessment concluded that such controls were effective and the Company’s independent registered accountant has issued (and not subsequently withdrawn or qualified) or will issue, as applicable, an attestation report concluding that the Company maintained effective internal control in all material respects over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014. As of the date hereof, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Company do not currently expect that they will not be able to give the certifications and attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, without qualification, when next due.

3.13. NASDAQ Global Select Market. The Ordinary Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and the ADSs are listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, and the Company has no action pending to terminate the registration of the Ordinary Shares under the Exchange Act or delist the ADSs from NASDAQ Stock Market, nor has the Company received any notification that the SEC or the NASDAQ Stock Market is currently contemplating terminating such registration or listing. The Company is not in violation of any listing requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market and has no knowledge of any facts that would reasonably be expected to lead to delisting or suspension of its ADSs from the NASDAQ Stock Market in the foreseeable future.

3.14. Variable Interest Entities.

3.17. Title to Property. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all real property owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries and good title to all other properties owned by them, in each case, free and clear of all mortgages, pledges, liens, security interests, claims, restrictions or encumbrances of any kind except where failure to have good and marketable title to such real property or good title to all other properties owned by them would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect; all of the leases and subleases material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are valid, subsisting, enforceable and in full force and effect, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any notice of any material claim that has been asserted by anyone adverse to the rights of the Company or any Subsidiary under any of the material leases or subleases mentioned above, or affecting or questioning the rights of the Company or such Subsidiary to the continued possession of the leased or subleased premises under any such material lease or sublease.

The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company in respect of any income and corporation tax liability for any years not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments or re-assessments for additional income tax for any years not finally determined, except to the extent of any inadequacy that would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4. Consents. All consents, approvals, orders and authorizations required on the part of the Purchaser in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement and the Notes, the issuance of the Ordinary Shares and ADSs upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with their terms and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been obtained or made, other than (i) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or any foreign antitrust requirements in connection with the issuance of Ordinary Shares and ADSs upon conversion of the Notes and (ii) such consents, approvals, orders and authorizations the failure of which to make or obtain, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Adverse Effect.

4.5. Absence of Litigation.

The Purchaser understands that the exemptions from registration afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions of which are known to it) promulgated under the Securities Act depend on the satisfaction of various conditions including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period and on requirements relating to the Company which may be outside of the Purchaser’s control and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy, and that, if applicable, Rule 144 may afford the basis for sales only in limited amounts.

5. Covenants.

5.1. HSR Approval. The Company and the Purchasers acknowledge that one or more filings under the HSR Act may be necessary in connection with the issuance of the Ordinary Shares and ADSs upon conversion of the Notes. Each Purchaser shall be solely responsible for determining whether any filings under the HSR Act or any foreign antitrust requirements may be necessary in connection with any conversion of Notes held by it and will promptly notify the Company if any such filing is required. If any Purchaser determines that any such filing is required, such Purchaser shall not convert the Notes until such time as the applicable requirements of the HSR Act or such foreign antitrust requirements have been satisfied and any related approvals, consents or waivers have been received, or such time as such Purchaser determines that such requirements are no longer applicable. To the extent reasonably requested, the Company will cooperate with each Purchaser in timely making or causing to be made all applications and filings under the HSR Act or any non-U.S. antitrust requirements in connection with the issuance of the Ordinary Shares and ADSs upon conversion of Notes held by such Purchaser as promptly as reasonably practicable or as required by the law of the applicable jurisdiction. The Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable provide from time-to-time such information and documentation regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as the Purchasers or their respective assignees may reasonably request in order to determine what non-U.S. antitrust requirements may exist with respect to any potential conversion of the Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, any delivery of the ADSs upon conversion of the Notes shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture.

5.2. Shares and ADSs Issuable Upon Conversion. At any time that the Notes are outstanding, the Company shall cause to be maintained all authorizations required for the issuance of a number of Ordinary Shares and ADSs which the Company may be liable to issue upon the conversion of the Notes from time to time remaining outstanding, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes. All Ordinary Shares and ADSs delivered upon conversion of the Notes shall be newly issued shares or shares held in treasury by the Company, shall have been duly authorized and validly issued and shall be fully paid and non-assessable and free of any lien and shall not be subject to any pre-emptive rights or similar rights and shall rank pari passu in all respects with other existing Ordinary Shares and ADSs. The Company will use reasonable best efforts to cause any ADSs issued upon conversion of the Notes to be listed with The NASDAQ Stock Market or, if the ADSs are no longer listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, the primary stock exchange or quotation system on which the ADSs are then listed by the Company.

5.3. Further Assurances. Each party agrees to cooperate with each other and their respective officers, employees, attorneys, accountants and other agents, and, generally, do such other reasonable acts and things in good faith as may be necessary to effectuate the intents and purposes of this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and compliance with applicable law, including taking reasonable action to facilitate the filing of any document or the taking of reasonable action to assist the other parties hereto in complying with the terms hereof.

5.12. Co-Investment Rights. The Company undertakes that it shall give each Purchaser, or its Affiliated Entities, a right of first offer to participate in any future opportunity to invest in the Company that is offered to private equity investors in terms that are no less favorable than the terms offered to such private equity investors. The portion of any such opportunity that shall be allocated to each Purchaser shall be equal to such Purchaser’s aggregate shareholding percentage in the fully diluted capitalization of the Company based on the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes then held by such Purchaser plus the number of Ordinary Shares or ADSs then held by such Purchaser that were issued upon prior conversion of Notes by such Purchaser, plus the portion of such investment opportunity allocated to the other Purchaser in the event the other Purchaser has elected not to, or is deemed to have elected not to, participate in such investment opportunity. Upon the Company’s written notice to the Purchasers of such investment opportunity, each Purchaser agrees that it shall elect whether or not to exercise such right of first offer with respect to such investment opportunity within ten (10) business days of receiving notification from the Company, and shall also indicate whether or not such Purchaser elects to exercise such right of first offer with respect to the portion of such investment opportunity allocated to the other Purchaser in the event the other Purchaser has elected not to, or is deemed to have elected not to, participate in such investment opportunity; if any Purchaser has not made such an election within ten (10) business days, such Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected not to participate in such investment opportunity.

All other provisions in this Section 5 shall be in full force and effect with respect to the applicable Purchaser for so long as such Purchaser beneficially owns any Notes or Ordinary Shares and ADSs issued upon conversion of the Notes. “Investment Value” at any time shall mean (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Notes held by such Purchaser at such time, plus (ii) the number of Ordinary Shares or ADSs issued upon conversion of the Notes held by the Purchaser at such time multiplied by the Conversion Price at which such Ordinary Shares or ADSs were issued.

5.15. Tax Covenant. The Company shall (i) notify each Purchaser (using commercially reasonable efforts to provide such notice in a timely manner to allow each Purchaser to make the election and complete the filing requirements described in clause (ii) below) if it determines in respect to any taxable year that the Company and/or any of the entities in which the Company owns at least a 25% equity interest (by value) (directly or indirectly) is a PFIC and (ii) at the request of either Purchaser, provide such information as such Purchaser may reasonably request to comply with any reporting requirements in connection with such determination described in clause (i), including information needed to permit such Purchaser or any direct or indirect owner thereof to elect to treat the Company and/or any such entity as a “qualified electing fund” (within the meaning of Section 1295 of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and a complete and accurate “PFIC Annual Information Statement” for the applicable entity as described in Section 1.1295-1(g)(1) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations; provided, however, that the provision of any information pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph, including, but not limited to, the calculation of the Company’s or any such entity’s earnings and profits, ordinary earnings, or net capital gain, each as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, shall be solely at the expense of the requesting Purchaser (or if both Silver Lake and Xxxxxxxxx make such request, then Silver Lake and Xxxxxxxxx shall each be responsible for 50% of such expenses), including, but not limited to, the cost of any accounting, tax, legal or other advisors retained by the Company. Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that any information determined in connection with this Section 5.15 may be considered material nonpublic information for purposes of Section 5.4(c) hereof, and, regardless of whether such information so qualifies, may be publicly disclosed by the Company or otherwise shared by the Company with any other Purchaser, investor, or shareholder of the Company, and no such disclosure or sharing of such information shall alter the Purchasers’ responsibility for such expenses.

The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, its Affiliates and its respective directors, officers, members, partners, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”) for any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities, fines, judgments, awards, settlements, costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Indemnified Person in any Action in connection with any breach as set forth below) (collectively, “Losses”) to which such persons may become subject as a result of (i) any breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 3 hereof; or (ii) any breach of any covenant made or to be performed on the part of the Company under this Agreement, the Notes or the Indenture; and the Company will reimburse any such person for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses), upon presentation of appropriate invoices containing reasonable detail, as they are incurred by any such person in any Action in connection with any such breach of representation, warranty or covenant or investigating, preparing or defending any such Action, pending or threatened, whether or not such person is a party thereto; provided that with respect to indemnification or reimbursement by the Company pursuant to this Section 8.1(a), (x) in the case of any indemnification pursuant to clause (i) other than in respect of a Fundamental Representation (which will not be subject to the limits of this clause (x)), and (y) the Company’s maximum aggregate liability to the Indemnified Persons with respect to any Purchaser will not exceed the principal amount of Notes paid by such Purchaser.

8.2. Claims; Disputes. Each Indemnified Person shall give the Company prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Notice”) of any third party Action it has actual knowledge of that might give rise to Losses, which notice shall set forth a description of those elements of such Action of which such Indemnified Person has knowledge; provided, that any delay or failure to give such Indemnification Notice shall not affect the indemnification obligations of the Company hereunder except to the extent the Company is materially prejudiced by such delay or failure.

The Company shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the applicable Indemnified Person(s) within thirty (30) days of receipt of the applicable Indemnification Notice, to select counsel to defend and control the defense of any third party claim set forth in such Indemnification Notice; provided that the Company shall not be entitled to so select counsel or control the defense of any claim if (i) such claim seeks primarily non-monetary or injunctive relief against the Indemnified Person or alleges any violation of criminal law, (ii) the Company does not, subsequent to its assumption of such defense in accordance with this Section 8.3, conduct the defense of the such claim actively and diligently, (iii) such claim includes as the named parties both the Company and the applicable Indemnified Person(s) and such Indemnified Persons reasonably determine upon the advice of counsel that representation of all such Indemnified Persons by the same counsel would be prohibited by applicable codes of professional conduct, or (iv) in the event that, based on the reasonable advice of counsel for the applicable Indemnified Person(s), there are one or more material defenses available to the applicable Indemnified Person(s) that are not available to the Company.

Except with the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnified Person(s) (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Company, in the defense of any such claim, shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting any Indemnified Person or (ii) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each such Indemnified Person(s) of an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person(s) from all liability with respect to such Action. In any such third party claim where the Company has assumed control of the defense thereof, the Company shall keep the applicable Indemnified Person(s) informed as to the status of such claim at all stages thereof (including all settlement negotiations and offers), promptly submit to such Indemnified Person(s) copies of all pleadings, responsive pleadings, motions and other similar legal documents and paper received or filed in connection therewith, permit such Indemnified Person(s) and their respective counsels to confer with the Company and its counsel with respect to the conduct of the defense thereof, and permit such Indemnified Person(s) and their respective counsel(s) a reasonable opportunity to review all legal papers to be submitted prior to their submission

EXHIBIT D

FORM OF VCOC LETTER

This VCOC AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of [ ], 2015, by and between Qunar Cayman Islands Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated in the Cayman Islands, (the “Company”) and SL Camel Holdco Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Fund”).

RECITALS

A. In light of Fund’s organizational documents, Fund is intended to have and maintain the status of a “venture capital operating company” (or “VCOC”) as defined in the Department of Labor Regulations, Section 25101.3-101(d) (the “Regulations”).

B. The Regulations require that a venture capital operating company must have direct contractual rights to participate substantially in or substantially influence the conduct of the management of its portfolio companies.

C. In order to induce Fund to invest in the Company, the Company has agreed to provide such rights to Fund in connection with Fund’s purchase of 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 of the Company (the “Securities”) pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated as of June 1, 2015 (the “Purchase Agreement”).

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree that upon Fund’s purchase of the Securities, Fund will be entitled to the following contractual management rights, in addition to rights to non-public financial information, inspection rights and other rights specifically provided to Fund in connection with the current financing:

(1) Fund shall be entitled to consult with and advise management of the Company on significant business issues, including management’s proposed annual and quarterly operating plans, at the Company’s facilities at such times as the Fund may reasonably request;

(2) Upon reasonable advance notice, Fund may examine the books and records of the Company and inspect its facilities and may request information at reasonable times and intervals concerning the general status of the Company’s financial condition and operations, provided that access to highly confidential or proprietary information which the Company reasonably believes the disclosure or dissemination of which, because of the particularly sensitive or extremely confidential nature, could reasonably be expected to harm the operation, business or the prospects of the Company, need not be provided; and

(3) If Fund does not have a contractual representative on the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company shall invite a representative of Fund to attend all meetings of its Board of Directors in a nonvoting observer capacity and, in this respect, shall give such representative timely copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other material that it provides to its directors. Such representative may participate in discussions of matters brought to the Board of Directors. At the request of the Board of Directors, the Observer shall recuse himself from any discussions.

Fund hereby agrees that it will not request or otherwise seek to obtain any information pursuant to the foregoing provisions, and will not use (or permit to be used) any information obtained pursuant to the foregoing provisions, except for lawful purposes relating solely to Fund’s interest as an investor. Fund agrees (a) to hold in confidence and trust and not use or disclose to any third party (other than its legal counsel and accountants who have a need to know such information) any confidential information provided to or learned by such party in connection with the exercise of Fund’s rights under this letter, (b) not to make copies of any materials, records or documents that constitute or contain such confidential information, except as required to allow Fund to exercise its rights under this letter, and (c) upon request of the Company, at such time that Fund loses its rights under this letter, to promptly deliver to the Company all materials, records or documents in its possession that constitute or contain such confidential information, and all copies thereof, whether in hard-copy or electronic form.

The rights described herein shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the first to occur of: (i) such time as Fund, together with its affiliates, collectively, do not own Securities, together with ordinary shares or American depositary shares representing ordinary shares issued upon conversion of the Securities (and based upon the then applicable conversion rate for the Securities), representing at least US$165,000,000 principal amount of the Securities, (ii) the Company sells all or substantially all of its assets, (iii) any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Section 13 of the Exchange Act) becomes a “beneficial owner” (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% or more of the total outstanding voting power of all classes of the Company’s capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, (iv) the Company participates in any merger, consolidation or similar transaction unless immediately following the consummation of such transaction the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction continue to hold (in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Company’s voting stock immediately prior to the transaction) more than 50% of all of the outstanding ordinary shares or other securities entitled to vote for the election of directors of the surviving or resulting entity in such transaction, (v) Fund irrevocably waives and terminates all of its rights under this Agreement, or (vi) Fund no longer requires the rights described herein in order to maintain its status as a “venture capital operating company.” However, the confidentiality obligations of Fund under this letter will survive for a period of three years following the termination of Fund’s management rights set forth herein.

In the event the Fund transfers all or any portion of its investment in the Company to an Affiliated Entity (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (or to a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of any such Affiliated Entity) that is intended to qualify as a venture capital operating company under the Plan Asset Regulation, such Affiliated Entity shall be afforded the same rights that the Company has afforded to the Fund hereunder and shall be treated, for such purposes, as a third party beneficiary hereunder. Fund may not otherwise transfer or assign any of its rights under this Agreement.
