registration statement for such initial public offering within ninety (90) days.

covered by their request by means of an underwriting, then they shall so advise the Company
7
as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 2.3 and the Company shall include
such information in the Request Notice. 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 underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting
(unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such
Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities
through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Holders of a majority
of the Registrable Securities being registered and reasonably acceptable to the Company.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.3, if the underwriter(s) advise(s)
the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to
be underwritten, then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which
would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable
Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be reduced as required by the
underwriter(s) and allocated among the Holders of Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis
according to the number of Registrable Securities then outstanding held by each Holder requesting
registration (including the Initiating Holders); provided, however, that the number of shares of
Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting and registration shall not be reduced
unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration
including, without limitation, all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any
other person, including, without limitation, any person who is an employee, officer or director of
the Company or any subsidiary of the Company; provided further, that at least thirty percent (30%)
of shares of Registrable Securities requested by the Holders to be included in such underwriting
and registration shall be so included. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such
underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the
underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the
registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting
shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.
(c) Maximum Number of Demand Registrations. The Company shall not be obligated to
effect more than two (2) such demand registrations pursuant to this Section 2.3.

requesting registration pursuant to this Section 2.3, a certificate signed by the President
or Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it
would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement
to be filed at such time, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period
of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided,
however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month
period; provided further, that the Company shall not register any other of its shares during such
twelve (12) month period. A demand right shall not be deemed to have been exercised until such
deferred registration shall have been effected.
(e) Other Securities Laws in Demand Registration. In the event of any registration
pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Company shall register and qualify the securities
covered by the registration statement under the securities laws of any other jurisdictions outside
of the United States or in Hong Kong or elsewhere as shall be appropriate for the
8
distribution of the securities; provided, however, that (a) the Company shall not be required to do
business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such state or jurisdiction, and
(b) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event any jurisdiction in
which the securities shall be qualified imposes a non-waivable requirement that expenses incurred
in connection with the qualification of the securities be borne by selling shareholders, the
expenses shall be payable pro rata by the selling shareholders.
2.4. Piggyback Registrations.
(a) The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty
(30) days prior to filing any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of
effecting a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to,
registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding
registration statements relating to any registration under Section 2.3or Section
2.5 of this Agreement or to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization or other
Rule 145 transaction, an offer and sale of debt securities, or a registration on any registration
form that does not permit secondary sales), and shall afford each such Holder an opportunity to
include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by
such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of
the Registrable Securities held by it shall within twenty (20) days after receipt of the
above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall
inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such
registration statement. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any
registration statement thereafter filed by the 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 Company with respect to offerings of its securities,
all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
(b) Underwriting. If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice
under this Section 2.4 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise
the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder’s Registrable
Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be
conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such
Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders
proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for
such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to Section
2.12, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require
a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may
exclude shares from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be
included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company,
second, to each of the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such
registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of shares of Registrable
Securities then held by each such Holder, and third, to holders of other securities of the Company;
provided, however, that the right of the underwriter(s) to exclude shares (including Registrable
Securities) from the registration and underwriting as described above shall be restricted so that
(i) the number of Registrable Securities included in any such registration is not reduced below
thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate number of shares of Registrable Securities for which
inclusion has been requested;
9
and (ii) all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other person,
including, without limitation, any person who is an employee, officer or director of the Company
(or any subsidiary of the Company) shall first be excluded from such registration and underwriting
before any Registrable Securities are so excluded. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any
such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and
the underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the
registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting
shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.
(c) Not
Demand Registration. Registration pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall
not be deemed to be a demand registration as described in Section 2.3 above. There shall be
no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities
under this Section 2.4.
(d) Consent from the Investors. No shareholder of the Company shall be granted
Piggyback Registration rights superior to those of the Investors without the prior written consent
of the holders of a majority of the Series A Shares (or Common Shares issued upon conversion of the
Series A Shares or a combination of such Common Shares and of Series A Shares) (voting as a
separate class), the holders of a majority of the Series B Shares (or Common Shares issued upon
conversion of the Series B Shares or a combination of such Common Shares and of Series B Shares)
(voting as a separate class), or the holders of a majority Series C Shares and Series C-1 Shares
(or Common Shares issued upon conversion of the Series C Shares or Series C-1 Shares or a
combination of such Common Shares and of Series C Shares or Series C-1 Shares) (voting together as
a single class).
2.5. Form F-3 and S-3 Registration. After its initial public offering, Holders
holding twenty percent (20%) or more in voting power of the Registrable Securities (or a lesser
percent if the anticipated aggregate offering price would exceed US$2,000,000) may request the
Company in writing to effect the Registration of Registrable Securities. The Company shall use its
commercially reasonable best efforts to qualify for registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3 or any
comparable or successor form as early as possible and use commercial reasonable best efforts to
maintain such qualification thereafter. If the Company is qualified to use Form F-3 or Form S-3,
any Holder or Holders shall have a right to request in writing at any time, but not more than twice
during any twelve (12) month period, that the Company effect a registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3
(or an equivalent registration in a jurisdiction outside of the United States) and any related
qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by
such Holder or Holders, then the Company will:
(a) Notice. Promptly give written notice of the proposed registration and the
Holder’s or Holders’ request therefor, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other
Holders of Registrable Securities; and
(b) Registration. As soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such
qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale
and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders or Holders’ Registrable Securities as are
specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any
other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within
twenty (20) days after the Company provides the notice contemplated by
10
Section 2.5(a); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any
such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2.5:
(1) if Form F-3 or Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders;
(2) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled
to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities
(if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than US$2,000,000;
(3) if the Company has, within the six (6) month period preceding the date of such request,
already effected a registration under the Securities Act other than a registration from which the
Registrable Securities of Holders have been excluded (with respect to all or any portion of the
Registrable Securities the Holders requested be included in such registration) pursuant to the
provisions of Sections 2.3(b) and 2.4(b); or
(4) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do
business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration,
qualification or compliance.
(5) if the Company shall furnish to Holders a certificate signed by the President or Chief
Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be
materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration be filed at such
time, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than
sixty (60) days after receipt of the request of the Holders; provided, however, that the Company
may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; provided further, that
the Company shall not register any other of its shares during such twelve (12) month period.
(c) Not Demand Registration. Form F-3 or Form S-3 registrations shall not be deemed to
be demand registrations as described in Section 2.3 above. Except as otherwise provided
herein, there shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of
Registrable Securities under this Section 2.5.
(d) Underwriting. If the Holders of Registrable Securities requesting registration
under this Section 2.5 intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their
request by means of an underwriting, the provisions of Section 2.3(b) shall apply to such
registration.
2.6. Expenses. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any
registration pursuant to Sections 2.3, 2.4 or 2.5 shall be borne by the
Company, except that each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to Sections 2.3
shall bear such Holder’s proportionate share (based on the total number of shares sold in such
registration other than for the account of the Company) of all Selling Expenses incurred in
connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 2.3.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any
registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.3 if the registration request is
subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to
be registered, unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding
agree that such
11
registration constitutes the use by the Holders of one (1) demand registration pursuant to
Section 2.3 (in which case such registration shall also constitute the use by all Holders
of Registrable Securities of one (1) such demand registration); provided further, however, that if
at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the
condition, business, or prospects of the Company not known to the Holders at the time of their
request for such registration and have withdrawn their request for registration with reasonable
promptness after learning of such material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required
to pay any of such expenses and such registration shall not constitute the use of a demand
registration pursuant to Section 2.3.
2.7. Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of
any Registrable Securities under this Agreement the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably
possible:
(a) Registration Statement. Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement
with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration
statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a
period of up to ninety (90) days or, in the case of Registrable Securities registered under Form
F-3 or S-3 in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act or a successor rule, until the
distribution contemplated in the registration statement has been completed; provided, however, that
(i) such ninety (90) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period any
Holder refrains from selling any securities included in such registration at the request of the
underwriter(s), and (ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form F-3 or
S-3 which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such ninety (90) day period
shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such
Registrable Securities are sold.
(b) Amendments and Supplements. Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act
with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.
(c) Prospectuses. Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus,
including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and
such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the
Registrable Securities owned by them that are included in such registration.
(d) Blue Sky. Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by
such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as
shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required in
connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general
consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already
subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act.
(e) Underwriting. In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and
perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement in usual and customary form, with the
managing underwriter(s) of such offering.
12
(f) Notification. Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered
under the Securities Act of (i) the issuance of any stop order by the SEC in respect of such
registration statement, or (ii) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus
included in such 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 then existing.
(g) Opinion and Comfort Letter. Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting
registration of Registrable Securities, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered
to the underwriter(s) for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such
securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement
with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the
counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is
customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to
a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if
any, and (ii) letters dated as of (x) the effective date of the registration statement covering
such Registrable Securities and (y) the closing date of the offering from the independent certified
public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent
certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably
satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the
underwriters, if any.
2.8. Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to take any action pursuant to Sections 2.3, 2.4 or 2.5 that the
selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable
Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be
required to timely effect the Registration of their Registrable Securities.
2.9. Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a
registration statement under Sections 2.3, 2.4 or 2.5:
(a) By the Company. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its partners, officers, directors, legal counsel, any
underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who
controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act,
against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become
subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other United States federal or state law,
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 (collectively a
“Violation”):
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such
registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein
or any amendments or supplements thereto;
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or
13
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act, any United States federal or state securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any United States federal or state securities law
in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement;
and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, its partner, officer, director, legal counsel,
underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as
incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
Subsection 2.9(a) 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 Company
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such
case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or
is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, or any partner,
officer, director, legal counsel, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder.
(b) By Selling Holders. To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will, if
Registrable Securities held by Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration
qualifications or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of
its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if
any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any
other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder’s
partners, directors, officers, legal counsel or any person who controls such Holder within the
meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, legal counsel,
controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, partner or director, officer or controlling
person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other
United States federal or state law, 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 expressly for use in connection with such
registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder,
partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(b) 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; and
provided, further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.9(b) exceed
the net proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which the applicable
Violation arises.
(c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
2.9 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 this Section 2.9, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the
commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in,
14
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 parties;
provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with
the 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 conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by
such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party
within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying
party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.9 to the extent the
indemnifying party is prejudiced as a result thereof, but the omission to so deliver 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 2.9.
(d) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint
liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any indemnified party makes a
claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.9 but it is judicially determined (by
the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of
time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be
enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.9 provides for
indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the
part of any indemnified party in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this
Section 2.9; then, and in each such case, the indemnified party and the indemnifying party
will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be
subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that a Holder (together with its
related persons) is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the public
offering price of its Registrable Securities offered by and sold under the registration statement
bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by and sold under such registration
statement, and the Company and other selling Holders are responsible for the remaining portion.
The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a
court of law 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) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount 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.
(e) Survival; Consents to Judgments and Settlements. The obligations of the Company
and Holders under this Section 2.9 shall survive the completion of any offering of
Registrable Securities in a registration statement, regardless of the expiration of any statutes
of limitation or extensions of such statutes. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such
claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of
any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof
the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability
in respect to such claim or litigation.
15
2.10. Termination of the Company’s Obligations. The Company’s obligations under
Sections 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 with respect to any Registrable Securities
proposed to be sold by a Holder in a registration pursuant to Sections 2.3, 2.4 or
2.5 shall terminate on the seventh (7th) anniversary of the initial public offering of the
Company, or, if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, all such Registrable Securities
proposed to be sold by a Holder may then be sold without registration in any ninety (90) day
period pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.
2.11. No Registration Rights to Third Parties. Without the prior written consent of
the Holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding,
the Company covenants and agrees that it shall not grant, or cause or permit to be created, for
the benefit of any person or entity any registration rights of any kind (whether similar to the
demand, “piggyback” or Form F-3 or S-3 registration rights described in this Section 2, or
otherwise) relating to any securities of the Company other than those granted hereunder.
2.12. Market Stand-Off. Each Founder and each Holder agrees that, so long as it holds
any voting securities of the Company, upon request by the Company or the underwriters managing the
initial public offering of the Company’s securities, it will not sell or otherwise transfer or
dispose of any securities of the Company (other than those permitted to be included in the
registration and other transfers to Affiliates permitted by law) without the prior written consent
of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for a period of time specified by the
representative of the underwriters not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days from the
effective date of the registration statement covering such initial public offering or the pricing
date of such offering as may be requested by the underwriters. The foregoing provision of this
Section 2.12 shall not apply to the sale of any securities of the Company to an underwriter
pursuant to any underwriting agreement, and shall only be applicable to the Holders if all
officers, directors and holders of one percent (1%) or more of the Company’s outstanding share
capital enter into similar agreements, and if the Company or any underwriter releases any officer,
director or holder of one percent (1%) or more of the Company’s outstanding share capital from his
or her sale restrictions so undertaken, then each Holder shall be notified prior to such release
and shall itself be simultaneously released to the same proportional extent. The Company shall
require all future acquirers of the Company’s securities holding at least one percent (1%) of the
then outstanding share capital of the Company to execute prior to a Qualified Public Offering a
market stand-off agreement containing substantially similar provisions as those contained in this
Section 2.12.
2.13. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits
of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may at any time permit the sale of the
Registrable Securities to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form
F-3, after such time as a public market exists for the Common Shares, the Company agrees to:
(a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date
of the first registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its
securities to the general public;
16
(b) File with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the
Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to
such reporting requirements); and
(c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, to furnish to such Holder forthwith
upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting
requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the
Company’s initial public offering), the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it
has become subject to such reporting requirements), or its qualification as a registrant whose
securities may be resold pursuant to Form F-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of
the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and (iii) such other reports and
documents of the Company as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or
regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration or
pursuant to Form F-3.
2.14. Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to
register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned (but only with all
related obligations) by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of such securities that (i) is a
subsidiary, Affiliate, parent, partner, member, limited partner, retired partner, retired member or
shareholder of a Holder, (ii) is a Holder’s Immediate Family Member or trust for the benefit of an
individual Holder or such Holder’s Immediate Family Member, or (iii), after such assignment or
transfer, holds at least 1,000,000 shares of Registrable Securities (subject to appropriate
adjustment for share splits, share dividends, combinations and other recapitalizations), provided:
(a) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of
the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such
registration rights are being assigned; (b) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be
bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (c) such assignment shall
be effective only if immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such securities
by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act. For the purposes of
determining the number of shares of Registrable Securities held by a transferee or assignee, the
holdings of transferee or assignee (i) that is a subsidiary, parent, partner, limited partner,
retired partner, member, retired member or shareholder of a Holder; (ii) that is an Affiliate of
the Holder, which means with respect to a limited liability company or a limited liability
partnership, a fund or entity managed by the same manager or managing member or general partner or
management company or by an entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such
manager or managing member or general partner or management company, (iii) who is a Holder’s
Immediate Family Member, or (iv) that is a trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or such
Holder’s Immediate Family Member, shall be aggregated together and with those of the assigning
Holder; provided that all assignees and transferees who would not qualify individually for
assignment of registration rights shall have a single attorney-in-fact for the purpose of
exercising any rights, receiving notices or taking any action under this Agreement.
3. RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION.
3.1. General. A Series A Investor holding at least 1,000,000 shares of Series A

Series C-1 Investor in accordance with Section 6.1 (for purpose of this Section 3,
such Series A Investor, Series B Investor, Series C Investor, Series C-1 Investor and each such
assignee each hereinafter referred to as a “Participation Rights Holder”) shall have the right of
first refusal to purchase such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below), of
all (or any part) of any New Securities (as defined in Section 3.3) that the Company may
from time to time issue after the date of this Agreement (the “Right of Participation”). Subject to
applicable securities laws, each Participation Rights Holder shall be entitled to apportion its
Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share among its Affiliates upon written notice to the
Company. For avoidance of doubt and only for purpose this Section 3, “the Company”
appearing below in Section 3 shall be refer to NetQin Mobile Inc.
3.2. Pro Rata Share. A Participation Rights Holder’s “Pro Rata Share” for purposes of
the Right of Participation is the ratio of (a) the number of Common Shares (calculated on a
fully-diluted and as-converted basis) held by such Participation Rights Holder, to (b) the total
number of Common Shares (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) then outstanding
immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities giving rise to the Right of Participation.
3.3. New Securities. “New Securities” shall mean any Preferred Shares, any other
shares of the Company designated as “Preferred Shares”, Common Shares or other voting shares of the
Company, whether now authorized or not, and rights, options or warrants to purchase such Preferred
Shares, Common Shares and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible or
exchangeable into such Preferred Shares, Common Shares or other voting shares, provided, however,
that the term “New Securities” shall not include:
(a) the issuance or sale of up to 26,415,442 of the Company’s Common Shares and/or options or
warrants therefor issued to employees, officers, directors, contractors, advisors or consultants of
the Company pursuant to the Company’s employee share option plans approved by the Board (including
the affirmative votes of the Series A Director, the Series B Director and the Series C Director);
(b) Common Shares issued or issuable in connection with any share split, share dividend,
combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction of the Company;
(c) Common Shares issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Series A Preferred

(d) Common Shares issued in connection with a bona fide business acquisition by the Company
of another business, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, sale or exchange of stock
or otherwise; or
(e) Common Shares issued or issuable in connection with the Company’s initial public

18
3.4. Procedures.
(a) First Participation Notice. In the event that the Company proposes to undertake
an issuance of New Securities (in a single transaction or a series of related transactions), it
shall give to each Participation Rights Holder written notice of its intention to issue New
Securities (the “First Participation Notice”), describing the amount and type of New Securities,
the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities. Each
Participation Rights Holder shall have twenty (20) business days from the date of receipt of any
such First Participation Notice to agree in writing to purchase such Participation Rights Holder’s
Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in
the First Participation Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the
quantity of New Securities to be purchased (not to exceed such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro
Rata Share). If any Participation Rights Holder fails to so agree in writing within such twenty
(20) business day period to purchase such Participation Rights Holder’s full Pro Rata Share of an
offering of New Securities, then such Participation Rights Holder shall forfeit the right
hereunder to purchase that part of its Pro Rata Share of such New Securities that it did not agree
to purchase.
(b) Second Participation Notice; Oversubscription. If any Participating Rights Holder
fails or declines to exercise its Right of Participation in accordance with subsection (a) above,
the Company shall promptly give notice (the “Second Participation Notice”) to other Participating
Rights Holders who exercised their Right of Participation (the “Right Participants”) in accordance
with subsection (a) above. Each Right Participant shall have ten (10) business days from the date
of the Second Participation Notice (the “Second Participation Period”) to notify the Company of
its desire to purchase more than its Pro Rata Share of the New Securities, stating the number of
the additional New Securities it proposes to buy (the “Additional Number”). Such notice may be
made by telephone if confirmed in writing within two (2) business days. If, as a result thereof,
such oversubscription exceeds the total number of the remaining New Securities available for
purchase, each oversubscribing Right Participant will be cut back by the Company with respect to
its oversubscription to that number of remaining New Securities equal to the lesser of (x) the
Additional Number and (y) the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of the remaining New
Securities available for subscription by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
Common Shares (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) held by such oversubscribing
Right Participant and the denominator of which is the total number of Common Shares (calculated on
a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) held by all the oversubscribing Right Participants. Each
Right Participant shall be obligated to buy such number of New Securities as determined by the
Company pursuant to this Section 3.4 and the Company shall so notify the Right Participants within
fifteen (15) business days following the date of the Second Participation Notice.
3.5. Failure to Exercise. Upon the expiration of the Second Participation Period, or
in the event no Participation Rights Holder exercises the Right of Participation within ten (10)
days following the issuance of the First Participation Notice, the Company shall have one hundred
twenty (120) days thereafter to sell the New Securities described in the First Participation Notice
(with respect to which the Right of Participation hereunder were not exercised) at the same or
higher price and upon non-price terms not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than
specified in the First Participation Notice. In the event that the Company has not issued and sold
such New Securities within such one hundred twenty (120) day period, then the Company shall not
thereafter issue or sell any New
19
Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Participation Rights Holders
pursuant to this Section 3.
3.6. Termination. The Right of Participation for each Participation Rights Holder
shall not terminate so long as any Investors and its Affiliates collectively hold any Preferred
Shares or Common Shares; provided, however, that the Right of Participation shall terminate upon
the closing of a Qualified Public Offering.
4. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.
4.1.Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Section 4,
(a) “Common Shares” means (i) the Company’s outstanding Common Shares, (ii) the Common Shares
issued or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, (iii) the Common Shares issuable upon
exercise of outstanding options or warrants and (iv) the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of
any outstanding convertible securities;
(b) “Preferred Share Holder” means an Investor and its permitted assignees to whom its rights
under this Section 4 have been duly assigned in accordance with Section 6.1 of this
Agreement;
(c) “Restricted Shares” means any Common Shares, whether now authorized or not, and rights,
options or warrants to purchase such Common Shares and securities of any type whatsoever that are,
or may become, convertible or exchangeable into such Common Shares currently held or subsequently
acquired by the Founders’ HoldCo or a Founder;
(d) “Common Share Equivalents” means, with respect to any shareholder, Common Shares owned by
such shareholder together with the Common Shares into or for which any issued and outstanding
Preferred Shares or any other issued and outstanding convertible securities (excluding, for the
avoidance of doubt, unexercised options or warrants) owned by such shareholder shall be
convertible.
4.2. Transfer Notice. Except as set forth in Section 4.8, if at any time the
Founders’ HoldCo, a Founder (either directly or indirectly through the Founders’ HoldCo) or any
other holder of Restricted Shares (collectively, a “Transferor”) proposes to transfer any
Restricted Shares, either directly or through a holding company of such Transferor, to one or more
persons (the “Transferee”) pursuant to an understanding with such Transferee (a “Transfer”), then
the Transferor shall give the Company and each Preferred Shares Holder a written notice of the
Transferor’s intention to make the Transfer (the “Transfer Notice”), which Transfer Notice shall
include (i) a description of the Restricted Shares to be transferred (the “Offered Shares”), (ii)
the identity of the prospective Transferee, (iii) the consideration to be paid for each Offered
Share (the “Offered Price”), and (iv) the material terms and conditions upon which the proposed
Transfer is to be made. The Transfer Notice shall certify that the Transferor has received a bona
fide firm offer from the prospective Transferee and in good faith believes a binding agreement for
the Transfer is obtainable on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice. The Transfer Notice shall
also include a copy of any written proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or other agreement
relating to the proposed Transfer. Any proposed direct or indirect transfer by a Transferor of an
equity interest in any Restricted Shares, including without limitation any transfer or issuance of
an equity interest in the Founders’ HoldCo or any other holding company that holds, directly or
indirectly, an interest
20
in Restricted Shares, shall constitute a “Transfer” as defined in this Section 4.2, and
such equity interest to be transferred or issued by such holding company shall be treated as
“Offered Shares” for all purposes under this Section 4.
4.3. Company’s Option.
(a) The Company shall have the option to repurchase for cancellation all or any part of the
Offered Shares.
(b) If the Company desires to repurchase for cancellation all or any part of the Offered
Shares, the Company must, within the thirty (30) day period (the “Company Refusal Period”)
commencing on the date of receipt of the Transfer Notice by the Company, give written notice to the
Transferor of the Company’s election to repurchase for cancellation the Offered Shares at a price
per share equal to the Offered Price. To the extent that the Company elects not to repurchase for
cancellation any or all of the Offered Shares, the remaining Offered Shares may be purchased by the
Preferred Share Holders as set forth in Section 4.4 below. A failure by the Company to
exercise its right of first refusal within the Company Refusal Period shall be deemed a waiver of
such right, however such failure shall not affect the right of first refusal of the Preferred Share
Holders as set forth in Section 4.4 below.
(c) Within five (5) days after the earlier of (i) receipt by the Transferor of notice from
the Company pursuant to Section 4.2 above, and (ii) the expiration of the Company Refusal
Period, the Transferor will give written notice (the “Second Transfer Notice”) to the Preferred
Share Holder specifying either (A) that all or a portion of the Offered Shares were subscribed by
the Company exercising its right of first refusal, and setting forth the number of Offered Shares
not subscribed for by the Company, if any, or (B) that the Company waived its right to purchase
any of the Offered Shares.
4.4. Option of Preferred Share Holder.
(a) To the extent the Company does not purchase all of the Offered Shares pursuant to
Section 4.2 above, each Preferred Share Holder shall have an option for a period of thirty
(30) days (the “Holders’ Refusal Period”) from the receipt of the Second Transfer Notice to submit
notice of its irrevocable commitment to elect to purchase its respective pro rata share of the
remaining Offered Shares at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the Offered Price, and
(ii) the fair market value of each Offered Share as reasonably determined by the Board (including
the consent of the Series A Director, Series B Director and the Series C Director), and subject to
the same material terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice.
(b) Each Preferred Share Holder may exercise such purchase option and thereby purchase all or
any portion of its pro rata share (with any re-allotments as provided below) of the remaining
Offered Shares, by notifying the Transferor and the Company in writing, before expiration of the
Holders’ Refusal Period as to the number of such Offered Shares which it wishes to purchase
(including any re-allotment). For the purposes of this subsection (b), each Preferred Share
Holder’s “pro rata” share of the remaining Offered Shares shall be a fraction of such remaining
Offered Shares, of which the number of Common Share Equivalents owned by such Preferred Share
Holder on the date of the Second Transfer Notice shall be the numerator and the total number of
Common Share Equivalents
21
held by all Preferred Share Holders on the date of the Second Transfer Notice shall be the
denominator.
(c) If any Preferred Share Holder fails to exercise its right to purchase its full pro rata
share of the remaining Offered Shares, the Transferor shall deliver written notice within five (5)
days after the expiration of the Holders’ Refusal Period to any Exercising Holder (as defined
below) specifying the number of unpurchased Offered Shares. Each Preferred Share Holders that
exercises in full its right of first refusal under subsection 4.4(b) above (each, an “Exercising
Holder”) shall have a right of re-allotment, and may exercise an additional right to purchase such
unpurchased Offered Shares by notifying the Transferor and the Company in writing within ten (10)
days after receipt of the notice by the Transferor pursuant to the prior sentence of this
subsection (c); provided, however, that if the Exercising Holders desire to purchase in aggregate
more than the number of such unpurchased Offered Shares, then such unpurchased Offered Shares will
be allocated pro rata to the extent necessary among the Exercising Holders based on the Common
Share Equivelants owned by such Exercising Holders at the date of the Second Transfer Notice.
(d) If any Preferred Share Holder gives the Transferor notice that it desires to purchase its
pro rata share of the Offered Shares and, as the case may be, its re-allotment, then payment for
the Offered Shares shall be by check or wire transfer, against delivery of the Offered Shares to
be purchased at a place agreed by the parties and at the time of the scheduled closing therefor,
which shall be no later than sixty (60) days after the Preferred Share Holder’s receipt of the
Second Transfer Notice, unless the value of the purchase price has not yet been established
pursuant to Section 4.5.
4.5. Valuation of Property. Should the purchase price specified in the Transfer.
Notice be payable in whole or in part in property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the
cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration will be determined by the Board (including the
consent of the Series A Director, Series B Director and the Series C Director) in good faith, which
determination shall be binding upon the Company, the Preferred Share Holders and the Transferor,
absent fraud or error.
4.6. Preferred Share Holders’ Co-Sale Rights.
(a) In the event that the Founders’ HoldCo or any Founder (either
directly or indirectly through the Founders’ HoldCo) proposes to transfer all or any portion of
the Restricted Shares then held by Founders’ HoldCo or such Founder to a Transferee pursuant to a
bona fide firm offer from the Transferee to purchase the Offered Shares, to the extent the Company
and the Preferred Share Holders do not exercise their respective rights of first refusal as to all
of the Offered Shares pursuant to Sections 4.2 and 4.4, each Preferred Share
Holder (a “Selling Holder”) that does not purchase Offered Shares pursuant to Section 4.4
shall have an option for a period of thirty (30) days from the end of the Holders’ Refusal Period
to participate in such sale of the Common Shares on the same terms and conditions as those being
offered to the Transferor and in no event less favorable to the Transferor than those specified in
the Transfer Notice. Each Selling Holder shall send notice to the Transferor indicating the number
of Common Shares the Selling Holder wishes to sell under its right to participate. To the extent
one or more of the Selling Holders exercise such right of participation in accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth below, the number of Common Shares that the Transferor may sell in
the Transfer to the Transferee shall be correspondingly reduced.
22
(b) Each Selling Holder may elect to sell up to such number of Common Shares equal to (on a
fully converted basis) the product of (i) the aggregate number of Common Shares proposed to be sold
to the Transferee by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares owned
by the Selling Holder on the date of the Second Transfer Notice and the denominator of which is the
total number of Common Shares owned by all Selling Holders and the Transferor on the date of the
Second Transfer Notice.
(c) Each Selling Holder shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering to
the Transferor for transfer to the Transferee one or more certificates and instruments of transfer,
properly endorsed for transfer, which represent the type and number of Common Shares which such
Selling Holder elects to sell; provided, however that if the prospective Transferee objects to the
delivery of Preferred Shares in lieu of Common Shares, such Selling Holder shall convert such
Preferred Shares into Common Shares and deliver certificates and instruments of transfer
corresponding to such Common Shares. The Company agrees to make any such conversion of Preferred
Shares concurrent with the actual transfer of Common Shares to the Transferee and contingent on
such transfer.
(d) The share certificate or certificates that a Selling Holder delivers to the Transferor
pursuant to Section 4.6(c) shall be transferred to the prospective Transferee in
consummation of the sale of the Common Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the
Transfer Notice, and the Transferor shall concurrently therewith remit to such Selling Holder that
portion of the sale proceeds to which such Selling Holder is entitled by reason of its
participation in such sale.
(e) To the extent that any prospective Transferee prohibits the participation of a Selling
Holder exercising its co-sale rights hereunder in a proposed Transfer or otherwise refuses to
purchase shares or other securities from a Selling Holder exercising its co-sale rights hereunder,
the Transferor shall not sell to such prospective Transferee any Common Shares unless and until,
simultaneously with such sale, the Transferor shall purchase such shares or other securities from
such Selling Holder for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the proposed
transfer described in the Transfer Notice.
4.7. Non-Exercise of Rights.
(a) To the extent that the Company and the Preferred Share Holders have not exercised their
rights to purchase all of the Offered Shares within the time periods specified in this Section
4 and the Preferred Share Holders have not exercised their rights to participate in the sale of
all of the remaining Offered Shares within the time periods specified herein, the Transferor shall
have a period of forty-five (45) days from the expiration of such rights in which to sell the
remaining Offered Shares to the Transferee identified in the Transfer Notice upon terms and
conditions (including the purchase price) no more favorable than those specified in the Transfer
Notice.
(b) The parties agree that each Transferee shall, prior to the consummation of any Transfer,
have executed documents assuming the obligations of such Transferor under this Agreement with
respect to the transferred Common Shares. In the event the Transferor does not consummate the sale
or disposition of the Offered Shares within forty-five (45) days from the expiration of such
rights, the Company and the Preferred Share Holders’ first refusal rights and the Preferred Share
Holders’ co-sale rights shall
23
continue to be applicable to any subsequent disposition of the Offered Shares by the Transferor
until such rights lapse in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) The exercise or non-exercise under this Section 4 of the rights of the
Company or the Preferred Share Holders to purchase Offered Shares from a Transferor or the
Preferred Share Holders to participate in the sale of the Offered Shares by a Transferor shall not
adversely affect their rights to make subsequent purchases from the Transferor of Restricted
Shares or subsequently participate in sales of Restricted Shares by Transferor hereunder.
4.8. Limitations to Rights of First Refusal and Co-Sale.
(a) Estate Planning. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, the
Founders’ HoldCo may, on behalf of any Founder, may sell or otherwise assign, for estate planning
purposes, with or without consideration, Common Shares of each Founder’s holdings, to any spouse
or member of such Founder’s immediate family, or to a custodian, trustee, executor, or other
fiduciary for the account of such Founder’s spouse or members of such Founder’s immediate family,
or to a trust for such Founder’s own self, or a charitable remainder trust, provided that each
such Transferee or assignee (each, a “Permitted Transferee”), prior to the completion of the sale,
transfer, or assignment, shall have executed documents assuming the obligations of such Founder
and the Founders’ HoldCo under this Agreement with respect to the transferred Common Shares.
(b) Transfer to Founders. The rights of first refusal and co-sale provided under this
Section 4 shall not apply to any transfer among the Founders, provided that the prior
written notice of not less than fifteen (15) business days of such transfer shall be provided to

(c) Company Repurchase Rights. The rights of first refusal and co-sale provided under
this Section 4 shall not apply to any sale or transfer of any Restricted Shares to the

this Section 4 shall not apply to any sale by a shareholder of Common Shares to the public

provided under this Section 4 shall not apply to any transfer that is approved by all of

(b) Each party agrees that the Company may instruct its transfer agent to impose transfer
restrictions on the shares represented by certificates bearing the legend referred to in
Section 4.11(a) above to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and the Company agrees
to promptly do so. The legend shall be removed upon termination of the provisions of this
Section 4.

6.1. Assignment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:
(a) Preferred Shares. Each of the Investors shall be entitled to transfer
all
or part of the Preferred Shares or Common Shares issued upon conversion of Preferred Shares owned

Shareholders where “control” shall mean the power to direct the management and policies or appoint
or remove members of the board of directors or other governing body of the Entity, directly or
indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, contract or otherwise, and
“controlled” shall be construed accordingly; and (5) any affiliate of any member of the FIL Group
and/or the FMR Group (where “affiliate”
26
means any Entity controlled by any combination of any Closely Related Shareholders and any member
of the Group and/or the FMR Group, and includes the officers, partners and directors of any

other party written notice of the new address in the manner set forth above.
8.2. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Series C-1 Share Purchase Agreement, and

understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all
prior negotiations, correspondence, agreements, understandings, duties or obligations between the
parties respecting the subject matter hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
this Agreement supersedes, in its entirety, the Series C Shareholders Agreement, which shall be

hereto hereby irrevocably waive any and all rights that they may have against any other party under
the Series C Shareholders Agreement.
8.3. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed exclusively in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice
of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
internal laws of the State of California to the rights and duties of the parties hereunder.
8.4. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or
unenforceable, then such provision shall be construed, to the extent feasible, so as to render the
provision enforceable and to provide for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
on substantially the same terms as originally set forth herein, and if no feasible interpretation
would save such provision, it shall be severed from the remainder of this Agreement, which shall
remain in full force and effect unless the severed provision is essential to the rights or
benefits intended by the parties. In such event, the parties shall use best efforts to negotiate,
in good faith, a substitute, valid and enforceable provision or agreement which most nearly
effects the parties’ intent in entering into this Agreement.

any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

reference to a specific number of shares of Preferred Shares or Common Shares of the Company,
then, upon the occurrence of any subdivision, combination or share dividend of the Preferred
Shares or Common Shares, the specific number of shares so referenced in this Agreement shall
automatically be proportionally adjusted to reflect the effect on the outstanding shares of such
class or series of shares by such subdivision, combination or share dividend.
8.10. Aggregation of Shares. All Preferred Shares or Common Shares held or acquired
by Affiliated entities or persons (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) shall be

arbitral situs of Hong Kong (the “ICC Rules”) in effect, which rules are deemed to be incorporated
by reference into this subsection (b). The arbitration tribunal shall consist of three (3)
arbitrators to be appointed according to the ICC Rules. The language of the arbitration shall be
English. The parties understand and agree that this provision regarding arbitration shall not
prevent any party from pursuing preliminary equitable or injunctive relief in a judicial forum
pending arbitration in order to compel another party to comply with this provision, to preserve
the status quo prior to the invocation of arbitration under this provision, or to prevent or halt
actions that may result in irreparable harm. A request for such equitable or injunctive relief
shall not waive this arbitration provision. The arbitrators shall decide any dispute submitted by
the parties to the arbitration strictly in accordance with the substantive law of the State of
California and shall not apply any other substantive law. Each party hereto shall cooperate with
the other in making full disclosure of and providing complete access to all information and
documents requested by the other in connection with such arbitration proceedings, subject only to
any confidentiality obligations binding on such party. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall
be final and binding upon the disputing parties, and either party may apply to a court of

remedy between them regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues or accountings presented or pled to
the arbitrator(s); that it shall be made and shall promptly be payable in U.S. dollars free of any
tax, deduction or offset; and that any costs, fees or taxes incident to enforcing the award shall,
to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against the party resisting such enforcement.
(f) The award shall include interest from the date of any damages incurred for breach or other
violation of the contract, and from the date of the award until paid in full, at a rate to be fixed
by the arbitrator(s), but in no event less than the prime commercial lending rate announced by
JPMorgan Chase at their principal office(s) in New York City for 90-day loans for responsible and
substantial commercial borrowers.
(g) All notices by one party to the other in connection with the arbitration shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made if delivered or mailed by registered
air mail, return receipt requested, or by telex, to the parties’ addresses on Exhibit C as
may be updated from time to time upon notice.
(h) The parties agree to hold all arbitration proceedings in the strictest
confidence, including without limitation the existence of the arbitration proceedings itself,
except when required to obtain preliminary equitable or injunctive relief, or otherwise within a
court of competent jurisdiction for the purposes of enforcing the award of the arbitration
tribunal.
(i) If any party to this Agreement seeks to enforce its rights under this
Agreement by legal proceedings, the non-prevailing party shall pay all costs and expenses incurred
by the prevailing party, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees.
8.12. Confidentiality.

8.12, or to any person or entity to which disclosure is approved in writing by the Investors,
which such approval is not to be unreasonably withheld. The Investors may disclose (i) the

former partner, potential partner or potential limited partner
32

legally compelled (including without limitation, pursuant to any applicable tax, securities, or
other Laws and regulations of any jurisdiction) to disclose the existence of this Agreement or
content of any of the Transaction Terms, such party (the “Disclosing Party”) shall provide the
other parties with prompt written notice of that fact and shall consult with the other parties
regarding such disclosure. At the request of another party, the Disclosing Party shall, to the
extent reasonably possible and with the cooperation and reasonable efforts of the other parties,
seek a protective order, confidential treatment or other appropriate remedy. In any event, the
Disclosing Party shall furnish only that portion of the information that is legally required and
shall exercise reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be
accorded such information.
(d) Other Exceptions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
8.12, the confidentiality obligations of the parties shall not apply to: (i) information which
a restricted party learns from a third party having the right to make the disclosure, provided the
restricted party complies with any restrictions imposed by the third party; (ii) information which
is rightfully in the restricted party’s possession prior to the time of disclosure by the protected
party and not acquired by the restricted party under a confidentiality obligation; or (iii)
information which enters the public domain without breach of confidentiality by the restricted
party.
(e) Press Releases, Etc. No announcements regarding the Investors’ investment in the
Company may be made by any party hereto in any press conference, professional or trade publication,
marketing materials or otherwise to the public without the prior written consent of the Investors
and the Company, provided, that any such announcement made by any partner, limited partner, bona
fide potential partner or bona fide potential limited partner of the Investors shall not be subject
to the consent of the Company.
(f) Other Information. The provisions of this Section 8.12 shall terminate
and supersede the provisions of any separate nondisclosure agreement executed by any of the
Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.
8.13. Conflict with Articles of Association. In the event of any conflict or
inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Company’s

possible.

the Founders’ HoldCo to fully comply with and perform all of the obligations, covenants,
undertakings and commitments of such corporate shareholder under this Agreement.
