(a) Upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, HoldCo shall immediately become obligated, at the times and in the manner provided for herein, to pay to Alibaba an amount (as adjusted herein, the “Liquidity Event Payment”) equal to:

(i) Thirty-seven and one-half percent (37.5%) of the Equity Value of OpCo less

(ii) Five Hundred Million Dollars (US$500,000,000).

For the avoidance of doubt, HoldCo shall not be required to pay the Liquidity Event Payment more than once.

(b) Irrespective of the Equity Value of OpCo in a Liquidity Event, in no circumstances shall the Liquidity Event Payment plus Five Hundred Million Dollars (US$500,000,000) be:

(i) less than Two Billion Dollars (US$2,000,000,000) (as increased by any Floor Amount Increase, the “Floor Amount”), or

(ii) greater than Six Billion Dollars (US$6,000,000,000) (as increased by any Ceiling Amount Increase, the “Ceiling Amount”).

For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the Floor Amount and the Ceiling Amount shall not limit the amount of the Impact Payment, if any.

(c) If, following a Liquidity Event described solely by clause (b) of the definition thereof that represents a Transfer of thirty-seven and one-half percent (37.5%) or more (but less than one hundred percent (100%)) of the Securities of OpCo (a “First Event”), a Subsequent Liquidity Event occurs within three (3) years after the date of the First Event (a “Later Event”), then as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within ninety (90) days following the consummation of the Later Event, HoldCo shall (and in a Later Event constituting a HoldCo Liquidity Event, the HoldCo Shareholders shall or shall cause HoldCo to, provided that each HoldCo Shareholder other than JMY shall be severally but not jointly liable for the obligations set forth in this parenthetical, pro rata in accordance with the proportion of the amount of HoldCo Securities owned by such HoldCo Shareholder to the amount of all HoldCo Securities held by all HoldCo Shareholders who are obligated under this parenthetical; and provided further that JMY shall be jointly and severally liable for the obligations set forth in this parenthetical) pay to Alibaba an amount (the “Make-Whole Payment”) equal to the excess, if any, of (i) thirty-seven and one-half percent (37.5%) of the Equity Value of OpCo in the Later Event less Five Hundred Million Dollars (US$500,000,000), over (ii) the Liquidity Event Payment from the First Event; provided, that no more than one Later Event shall trigger a Make-Whole Payment. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a Make-Whole Payment be made if the Liquidity Event Payment, had it been calculated with reference to the Later Event rather than the First Event, plus Five Hundred Million Dollars (US$500,000,000), would have been less than the Floor Amount. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Make-Whole Payment shall be reduced as necessary to ensure that the sum of the Liquidity Event Payment plus the Make-Whole Payment plus Five Hundred Million Dollars (US$500,000,000) does not exceed the Ceiling Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the Make-Whole Payment shall not be required to be paid more than once.

IPCo shall pay the IPCo Note Amount, after giving effect to the foregoing election, ratably with the other applicable obligations on the installment dates referred to above; provided, that in any event IPCo shall pay the IPCo Note Amount in full no later than the twenty-fourth (24^th) month following the date of said Liquidity Event.

(iii) In the event of a Later Event the proceeds of which (net of Transaction Expenses and applicable taxes payable by OpCo or HoldCo) are in excess of or equal to the Make-Whole Payment amount plus the associated Impact Payment amount, if any, HoldCo will pay the Make-Whole Payment plus the associated Impact Payment, if any, to Alibaba as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within ninety (90) days following the consummation of such Later Event; provided, that any portion of the Make-Whole Payment arising due to any Contingent Consideration shall be paid to Alibaba as soon as reasonably practicable following the payment of such Contingent Consideration and in any event within ninety (90) days of the payment of such Contingent Consideration.

(h) If the total Taxes required by any Laws to be deducted, withheld, paid, or incurred by any Person, in connection with any payment to be made to Alibaba or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 2.09 (“Total Taxes”) exceed the Taxes under PRC Law that would have been imposed if such payment had been paid by HoldCo directly to Alibaba and subject to Tax at the then-applicable withholding, income or similar Tax rate on capital gains with respect to sales of equity in PRC companies by foreign investors, then the payment shall be increased so that Alibaba receives (and is entitled to retain), after deduction, withholding or payment for or on account of such Total Taxes as the case may be (including deduction, withholding or payment applicable to additional sums payable under this sentence), the full amount of the payment that would have been received if such payment had been paid by HoldCo directly to Alibaba and subject to Tax under PRC Law at the then-applicable withholding, income, or similar Tax rate on capital gains with respect to sales of equity in PRC companies by foreign investors.

For the avoidance of doubt, OpCo shall have no obligation to transfer such Retained Business Assets and Retained Business Liabilities back to Alibaba and/or Alibaba’s Subsidiaries if the Final Payment Date has occurred within the fifteen (15) month period following the IPO Transfer.

(c) The conveyance, assignment or transfer of any Retained Business Assets to OpCo or any other Person pursuant to this Section 2.10 will be conditioned on the execution and delivery by Alibaba, on the one hand, and OpCo and such other Person, on the other hand, of a cross-license agreement (the “Cross-License Agreement”), to become effective contemporaneously with the effectiveness of such conveyance, assignment or transfer, pursuant to which each of Alibaba and OpCo will receive a license to such Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Rights as is set forth in such cross-license agreement which (i) as of the effective date of such conveyance, assignment or transfer, are owned or licensable by the licensor party and (ii) were used in the course of the licensee’s business under and in accordance with a license from the licensor party, or owned by the licensee party, during the term of the Intellectual Property License and Software Technology Services Agreement. Alibaba and OpCo shall agree to a mutually acceptable form of Cross-License Agreement at or prior to the Effective Time on substantially the terms set forth in Schedule 2.10 and on such other mutually agreed terms that are customary for agreements of this type and consistent with the terms set forth in Schedule 2.10.

Section 2.11 Demand Liquidity Event. At any time following the 10th anniversary of the Effective Time, in the event that no Liquidity Event has yet occurred, Alibaba will have the right, upon written direction to HoldCo, to cause HoldCo and OpCo to use their best efforts to effect a Liquidity Event as soon as practicable but in any event no later than one hundred eighty (180) days from HoldCo’s receipt of such written notice, and the controlling HoldCo Shareholders shall use all reasonable efforts to facilitate such Liquidity Event, provided that HoldCo and OpCo have no obligation to effect a Liquidity Event (and the HoldCo Shareholders shall have no obligation to facilitate) unless the Equity Value of OpCo or the Enterprise Value of OpCo in such Liquidity Event would be in excess of One Billion Dollars (US$1,000,000,000). In the circumstance of a Liquidity Event pursuant to this Section 2.11, the Chief Executive Officer of HoldCo shall determine in his sole discretion which form of Liquidity Event to effect, provided, that if the Chief Executive Officer of HoldCo fails to so elect within ninety (90) days of notice by Alibaba, then Alibaba shall have the right to so elect the Liquidity Event in its sole discretion. The Floor Amount will not apply to any Liquidity Event requested by Alibaba under this Section 2.11 (except in the case where the Liquidity Event is effected by means of a Transfer of more than thirty-seven and one-half percent (37.5%) but less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Securities of OpCo, with such percentage determined on a fully-diluted basis, using the treasury stock method to an Unrelated Third Party or to Unrelated Third Parties, pursuant to one or more bona fide arms-length negotiated agreements, in which case the Floor Amount will apply), but otherwise the provisions of this Agreement regarding a Liquidity Event shall apply.

Section 2.12 Commercial Agreement. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Commercial Agreement will be entered into pursuant to which OpCo agrees to provide payment processing services to Alibaba and its Subsidiaries (including Taobao Marketplace and Taobao Mall) on preferential terms. The fees to be paid by Alibaba and its Subsidiaries to OpCo for the services provided under the Commercial Agreement will take into account Alibaba and its Subsidiaries’ status as large volume customers and will be approved on an annual basis by the Independent Directors. The Commercial Agreement will be non-exclusive and will remain in effect for an auto-renewing fifty (50)-year term, subject to Alibaba’s right to terminate upon one year’s prior written notice. If in connection with a public offering of OpCo, the Commercial Agreement is required by applicable regulatory authorities to be modified, a one-time payment, the Impact Payment, may be payable by HoldCo to Alibaba to compensate Alibaba for the overall impact of such adjustment.

Section 2.13 Intellectual Property License and Software Technology Services Agreement. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Intellectual Property License and Software Technology Services Agreement will be entered into pursuant to which Alibaba will license to OpCo certain intellectual property and technology and provide certain software technology services to OpCo and its Subsidiaries. OpCo will pay to Alibaba (a) a royalty equal to a certain percentage of the consolidated revenue of OpCo and its subsidiaries and (b) a software technology services fee. The royalty and the software technology services fee consist of an expense reimbursement and a 49.9% share of the consolidated pre-tax income of OpCo and its Subsidiaries. This percentage reflects the existing relative function, risk and asset profiles of the parties, and such percentage will decrease upon certain dilutive equity issuances by OpCo and HoldCo; provided, however, that such percentage shall not be reduced below 30%. The Intellectual Property License and Software Technology Services Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) such time as it may be required to be terminated by applicable regulatory authorities in connection with a Qualified IPO and (ii) the Final Payment Date.

All transactions described herein (except any components of which are explicitly provided to be effected at a later time) shall be effective at the same time upon the satisfaction of conditions precedent to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (the “Closing”), and all such transactions (except any components of which are explicitly provided to be effected at a later time) must be effective as a condition for any transaction described herein to be deemed effective.

Section 7.11 Actions by Alibaba.

(a) The Parties agree that for so long as this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents remains in effect, all Alibaba Independent Actions shall be taken or made solely by the unanimous decision of the Independent Directors. Prior to or contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Alibaba board of directors has passed an irrevocable resolution in the form of Exhibit G hereto specifically confirming, authorizing, and delegating the authority set forth in this Section 7.11 to the Independent Directors. All Alibaba Independent Actions shall be determined by the Independent Directors either at a meeting (a “Transaction Meeting”) or, solely in accordance with the last three sentences of subsection (b), by written consent, in each case in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 7.11 and such resolution.

(b) A Transaction Meeting may be called by any Independent Director or any member of the board of directors of Alibaba by giving written notice (a “Meeting Notice”) to each Independent Director and each member of the Alibaba board of directors, all of whom shall be invited to participate in such Transaction Meeting. The Meeting Notice shall specify the date of the meeting, which date shall not be earlier than three (3) Business Days after the date of the Meeting Notice, the time of the meeting, and the place of the meeting. The Meeting Notice shall also specify the purpose of such Transaction Meeting and the proposed Alibaba Independent Action(s) to be determined and enclose any relevant written materials. The Transaction Meeting shall be held on the date and at such time and place as specified in the Meeting Notice; provided that the meeting may be delayed to an alternate date and time and place if requested by any member of the board of directors of Alibaba so long as the Independent Directors and members of the Alibaba board of directors are able to mutually agree on an alternate date and time and place for the Transaction Meeting which is no later than ten (10) Business Days following the date of Transaction Meeting set forth in the Meeting Notice. If a Transaction Meeting is not held within ten (10) Business Days of the date specified in the Meeting Notice due to the action or inaction by any member of the Alibaba board of directors (other than an Independent Director), then the Independent Directors or sole Independent Director, as applicable, may act by unanimous written consent without a Transaction Meeting with respect to the Alibaba Independent Action(s) set forth in the Meeting Notice.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Independent Directors may act by unanimous written consent without a Transaction Meeting if, in the Independent Directors’ judgment, immediate action is required under the circumstances in order to avoid material harm or loss to Alibaba, provided that prior to taking such action by unanimous written consent, the Independent Directors advise the members of the Alibaba board of directors of such Alibaba Independent Action(s) and the rationale for taking such Alibaba Independent Action(s) without a Transaction Meeting. Prior to taking such action by written consent, the Independent Directors, either individually or together, will designate times that they can be available to participate in a conference call to discuss the matter to be acted upon, and shall participate in such a conference call, if the other members of the Alibaba board make themselves available during such designated times.

(c) All Meeting Notices shall be deemed to have been received (i) if by personal delivery, on the day delivered, (ii) if by courier services or overnight mail or delivery, on the day delivered, and (iii) if by facsimile or electronic mail, on the day on which such facsimile or electronic mail was received, provided that it is followed immediately by confirmation by personal delivery, courier service or overnight mail.

(d) All Meeting Notices shall be delivered to the addresses set forth in Section 10.01, and such addresses may be updated with the secretary of Alibaba from time to time by the Independent Directors and the members of the Alibaba board of directors. A Meeting Notice need not be given to any Independent Director or any member of the board of directors of Alibaba who signs a waiver of such Meeting Notice or a consent to holding the Transaction Meeting, whether before or after the Transaction Meeting, or who attends (by whatever permitted means) the Transaction Meeting without protesting, prior to its commencement, the validity of the Meeting Notice to such Independent Director or other member of the board of directors of Alibaba.

(e) An Independent Director or other member of the board of directors of Alibaba may participate in any Transaction Meeting by means of telephone, video conference or similar communication equipment by way of which all persons participating in such Transaction Meeting can hear each other and such participation shall be deemed to constitute presence in person at the Transaction Meeting.

(f) The unanimous decision of the Independent Directors or sole Independent Director, as applicable, taken at a duly called Transaction Meeting or, solely in accordance with the last three sentences of subsection (b), by the unanimous written consent of such Independent Directors or sole Independent Director, as applicable, shall be binding on Alibaba, the other Parties or any third-party with respect to such Alibaba Independent Action(s). Alibaba shall promptly implement the decision of the Independent Directors (acting unanimously) or sole Independent Director, as applicable, with respect to any Alibaba Independent Action. Any purported Alibaba Independent Action taken by Alibaba (including by the Alibaba board of directors or management) other than as described in this Section 7.11 shall be invalid, null and void and of no effect whatsoever.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.11 and the resolution set forth in Exhibit G shall have no effect on any actions of the Company or the Directors other than with respect to the Alibaba Independent Actions.

(h) For so long as the Framework Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents remains in effect, Section 7.11 and the resolution set forth in Exhibit G shall not be revoked, rescinded, varied or amended without the unanimous consent of the Independent Directors or sole Independent Director, as applicable, and of the board of directors of Alibaba.

Section 7.12 Independent Directors’ Staff Support. The Independent Directors shall be entitled to appoint a single individual of appropriate stature and qualifications to assist them in their activities with respect to the Actions and other matters contemplated under the Transaction Documents and Shareholders Agreement, including review of proposals to the Independent Directors and development of appropriate background information supporting the Independent Directors’ consideration thereof (the “Directors’ Appointee”). The Directors’ Appointee shall be provided, as reasonably requested and at Alibaba’s expense, with space to work at Alibaba’s facilities in Hong Kong when the Directors’ Appointee is visiting Alibaba’s offices, and shall be entitled to attend meetings of Alibaba’s board of directors in an observer capacity. The salary of the Directors’ Appointee shall be borne by Yahoo! and Softbank, and any removal, replacement or change in employment conditions of such appointee shall constitute an Alibaba Independent Action under this Agreement.

Section 7.13 Non-Competition.

(a) During the period commencing on the Effective Time and ending on the Final Payment Date (the “Restricted Period”), Alibaba agrees and covenants that it and its Subsidiaries shall not, within the PRC, directly or indirectly engage in the Business, enter into or participate in the Business as an owner, partner or principal or otherwise compete with the Business within the PRC; provided, however, Alibaba may:

(i) own, directly or indirectly, solely as a passive investment, Securities of any OpCo Competitor traded on any securities exchange, provided that Alibaba is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such entity and does not, directly or indirectly, “beneficially own” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) one percent (1%) or more of any class of Securities of such OpCo Competitor;

(ii) continue to conduct the Business to the extent necessary to fulfill its obligations under each of the Intellectual Property License and Software Technology Services Agreement and Commercial Agreement, until the termination of the Intellectual Property License and Software Technology Services Agreement and Commercial Agreement (as applicable); and

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing herein shall interfere with Alibaba’s right to Contract with independent third Persons for the provision or procurement of Business services or products and to undertake any activities in connection therewith pursuant to Section 2.6 of the Commercial Agreement.

(b) During the Restricted Period, each of HoldCo and OpCo shall not and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries not to, anywhere in the Business Area directly or indirectly engage in the Alibaba Business, enter into or participate in the Alibaba Business as an owner, partner or principal or otherwise compete with the Alibaba Business anywhere in the Business Area; provided, however, each of HoldCo, OpCo and their respective Subsidiaries may:

(i) own, directly or indirectly, solely as a passive investment, Securities of any Alibaba Competitor traded on any securities exchange, provided that HoldCo, OpCo, and their respective Subsidiaries are not individually or collectively a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, do not, directly or indirectly, “beneficially own” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) one percent (1%) or more of any class of Securities of such Alibaba Competitor; and

(ii) engage in the provision of financing products; the issuance of benefits, discounts and virtual currency provided under loyalty programs, provided that group buying and online coupons related to group buying shall be deemed a part of the Alibaba Business and not excepted under this clause (ii); the provision of a directory of merchants providing OpCo’s services, provided that “directory of merchants” shall not be interpreted to mean any business of the kind conducted by Alibaba (e.g., Xxxxxxx.xxx, TaoBao, etc.); and the provision of foreign exchange services.

(a) Transfer of Employees from Alibaba to OpCo. In case of transfer of employees from Alibaba or its Subsidiaries to OpCo or its Subsidiaries, the employees so transferred shall sign a termination agreement to terminate their existing labor contact with Alibaba (or its Subsidiaries or PRC registered Affiliates) and sign a new labor Contract with OpCo or its Subsidiaries. The terms and conditions in the new labor Contract shall be no less favorable to such employees than those in the labor Contract with Alibaba (or its Subsidiaries or PRC registered Affiliates), and the service period of such employees with Alibaba or its Subsidiaries shall be recognized in the new labor Contract with OpCo or its Subsidiaries.

Each of JMY and JT shall otherwise take all actions necessary or required under the Shortfall Amount Mortgage and the Account Pledge Agreements (collectively, the “Shortfall Security Documents”) to perfect the Liens intended to be created under such documents with respect to the Pledged Assets. All necessary transfers (including any certificate transfers), deposits, filings, registrations, re-registrations and annotations necessary or required under the Shortfall Security Documents will be effected by JMY, JT and Alibaba prior to the Liquidity Event and each Substitution permitted by this Section 7.15(l), and as of the Liquidity Event and any Substitution, and in each case as a condition precedent to the consummation thereof,

The Liens to be granted in accordance with this Section 7.15 shall secure full payment of the Shortfall Amount when due, irrespective of whether payment of the Shortfall Amount is at any time restricted or prohibited by PRC law or otherwise. If requested by JMY and JT, which request will include a reasonable proposal for financing the Shortfall Amount, the consent to which request shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned by Alibaba, JMY and JT may execute the Shortfall Security Documents on a date within ninety (90) days following the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, or following the date on which HoldCo becomes obligated to make an Impact Payment or Make-Whole Payment.

(iii) if the effects described in clauses (i) and (ii) cannot be accomplished without an amendment to the Shareholders Agreement or the Memorandum and Articles of Association of Alibaba, JMY, JT, Yahoo! and Softbank shall effect such amendments as soon as practicable in order to permit the Transfer of such shares or Pledged Assets without assurance of any of the negative effects referred to in clauses (i) and (ii).

In the event that Alibaba forecloses upon any shares pledged pursuant to this Section 7.15, Alibaba shall be free to Transfer such shares (or, if such shares are retired, issue new shares as approved by the Independent Directors in an amount not to exceed the number of shares so retired as a result of such foreclosure) without restriction under the Shareholders Agreement.

(n) Transaction Documents. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Parties will, or will cause their applicable Affiliates to enter into and execute the Transaction Documents.

(o) No Intellectual Property Transfers.

Section 10.05 Parties in Interest.

Section 10.08 Governing Laws; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE UNDER, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED SOLELY THEREIN.

Section 10.09 Arbitration.

(a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement, or the breach, termination or validity hereof, shall be finally settled exclusively by arbitration. The arbitration shall be administered by, and conducted in accordance with the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) in effect at the time of the arbitration, except as they may be modified by mutual agreement of the parties. The seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore, provided, that, the arbitrators may hold hearings in such other locations as the arbitrators determine to be most convenient and efficient for all of the parties to such arbitration under the circumstances. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.

(b) The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators. The Party (or the Parties, acting jointly, if there are more than one) initiating arbitration (the “Claimant”) shall appoint an arbitrator in its request for arbitration (the “Request”). The other Party (or the other Parties, acting jointly, if there are more than one) to the arbitration (the “Respondent”) shall appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Request and shall notify the Claimant of such appointment in writing. If within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Request by the Respondent, either Party has not appointed an arbitrator, then that arbitrator shall be appointed by the ICC. The first two arbitrators appointed in accordance with this provision shall appoint a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the Respondent has notified Claimant of the appointment of the Respondent’s arbitrator or, in the event of a failure by a Party to appoint, within thirty (30) days after the ICC has notified the parties and any arbitrator already appointed of the appointment of an arbitrator on behalf of the Party failing to appoint. When the third arbitrator has accepted the appointment, the two arbitrators making the appointment shall promptly notify the parties of the appointment. If the first two arbitrators appointed fail to appoint a third arbitrator or so to notify the parties within the time period prescribed above, then the ICC shall appoint the third arbitrator and shall promptly notify the parties of the appointment. The third arbitrator shall act as Chair of the tribunal.

(c) The arbitral award shall be in writing, state the reasons for the award, and be final and binding on the parties. The award may include an award of costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. In addition to monetary damages, the arbitral tribunal shall be empowered to award equitable relief, including, but not limited to, an injunction and specific performance of any obligation under this Agreement. The arbitral tribunal is not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages, and each Party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover punitive, exemplary or similar damages with respect to any dispute, except insofar as a claim is for indemnification for an award of punitive damages awarded against a Party in an action brought against it by an independent third party. The arbitral tribunal shall be authorized in its discretion to grant pre-award and post-award interest at commercial rates. Any costs, fees or taxes incident to enforcing the award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by Laws, be charged against the Party resisting such enforcement. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its assets.

(d) In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related disputes, and upon request of any Party to the arbitration proceeding, the arbitration tribunal may, within ninety (90) days of its appointment, consolidate the arbitration proceeding with any other arbitration proceeding involving any of the Parties relating to the Transaction Documents. The arbitration tribunal shall not consolidate such arbitrations unless it determines that (i) there are issues of fact or law common to the proceedings, so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (ii) no Party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise. In the event of different rulings on this question by the arbitration tribunal constituted hereunder and any tribunal constituted under these Transaction Documents, the ruling of the tribunal constituted under this Agreement will govern, and that tribunal will decide all disputes in the consolidated proceeding.

(e) The Parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including but not limited to any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any awards) shall not be disclosed beyond the tribunal, the ICC, the parties, their counsel and any person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding, except as may be lawfully required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or otherwise, or as required by NASDAQ rules or the rules of any other quotation system or exchange on which the disclosing Party’s Securities are listed or applicable Laws.

(f) The costs of arbitration shall be borne by the losing Party unless otherwise determined by the arbitration award.

(g) All payments made pursuant to the arbitration decision or award and any judgment entered thereon shall be made in Dollars (or, if a payment in Dollars is not permitted by Law and if mutually agreed upon by the Parties, in PRC currency), free from any deduction, offset or withholding for Taxes.

(h) Notwithstanding this Section 10.09 or any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no Party shall be obligated to follow the foregoing arbitration procedures where such Party intends to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an interim injunction or similar equitable relief against any other Party, provided there is no unreasonable delay in the prosecution of that application.

Section 10.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart.

Section 10.11 Rules of Construction. Each Party represents and acknowledges that, in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the other instruments and documents required or contemplated hereby, it has been represented by and has relied upon the advice of counsel of its choice. Each Party hereby affirms that its counsel has had a substantial role in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement and such other instruments and documents. Therefore, each Party agrees that no rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafter shall be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement and such other instruments and documents and in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, the Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties.

Section 10.12 Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of three (3) years after the Closing, provided that no Party shall have any Liability to any other Person for monetary damages in connection with any such representation or warranty (including breach or inaccuracy thereof) unless such breach or inaccuracy is a material breach or inaccuracy. None of the representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the three (3) year anniversary of the Effective Time except with respect to any claim initiated prior to the expiration of such three (3) year period.

Section 10.13 Non-Severability.

(a) Each provision of the Transaction Documents shall be deemed a material and integral part hereof. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.13, in the event of a final determination of invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement (and any of the other Transaction Documents, as applicable) or to enter into new agreements to replace such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) with valid, legal and enforceable provisions providing the Parties with benefits, rights and obligations that are equivalent in all material respects as provided by the Agreement (and any of the other Transaction Documents, as applicable) as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) had been valid, legal and enforceable. In the event the Parties are not able to reach agreement on such amendments or new agreements, then the ICC arbitrators (pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 10.09 hereof) shall determine, as part of their arbitral award, such amendments or new agreements such to provide the Parties with benefits, rights and obligations that are equivalent in all material respects as provided by the Agreement (and any of the other Transaction Documents, as applicable) as if the stricken provision(s) had been valid, legal and enforceable.

(b) No Party shall, or shall permit any of its Related Parties or Representatives to, directly or indirectly assert that any provision of any Transaction Document is invalid, illegal or unenforceable. Without limiting the Parties’ remedies for breach of the immediately preceding sentence and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if (i) HoldCo, OpCo, IPCo, JMY, JT, any HoldCo Shareholder or any Related Party or Representative of any of the foregoing asserts in any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with any Transaction Document, that any provision of any Transaction Document is invalid, illegal or unenforceable and (ii) the ICC or any other arbitral body of competent jurisdiction or any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction holds any of the following obligations to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable: (x) the obligations to make the Liquidity Event Payment, the Make-Whole Payment, the Increase Payment or the Impact Payment, (y) to repay the IPCo Promissory Note, or (z) to provide the services specified for the fees specified under the Commercial Agreement, then all of the Transaction Documents shall, unless such consequences are waived by the Independent Directors, be deemed null and void in all jurisdictions as if they had not occurred.

(c) In any event, the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision of any Transaction Document in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, including that provision, in any other competent jurisdiction.

Section 10.14 English Language Only. This Agreement is in the English language only, which language will be controlling in all respects, and all versions hereof in any other language will be for accommodation only and will not be binding upon the parties hereto. All communications to be made or given pursuant to this Agreement will be in the English language.

Section 10.15 Valuation Procedure for FMV. In order to determine the Fair Market Value of Assets or Securities other than publicly traded Securities or cash, the following procedure shall be used: the Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities shall be determined by internationally recognized investment banking firms, one firm appointed by Alibaba (“Alibaba Bank”) and one firm appointed by HoldCo (“HoldCo Bank”, together with Alibaba Bank, the “Initial Banks”), and if a third is necessary as provided below, the Initial Banks shall appoint a third investment bank (“Third Bank”). Each Initial Bank’s determination shall be made and delivered to Alibaba and HoldCo within thirty (30) days following the date on which the second Initial Bank was appointed. If the determinations of the Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities made by the Initial Banks are within ten percent (10%) of each other (i.e., the difference between the two determined Fair Market Value is equal to or less than ten percent (10%) of the higher determined Fair Market Value), then the average of the Alibaba Bank-determined Fair Market Value and the HoldCo Bank-determined Fair Market Value shall be used as the final Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities. If the determinations of the Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities made by the Initial Banks are not within ten percent (10%) of each other, then the determination of the Third Bank shall be delivered to Alibaba and HoldCo within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the Third Bank. The determination of the Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities by such Third Bank, together with such determinations provided by the Initial Banks, will be used to determine the final Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities as follows: (i) if the determination made by the Third Bank falls within the middle third of the range between the determinations made by the two Initial Banks (i.e., if the Third Bank determination is (1) greater than the sum of the lower determined Fair Market Values of the Initial Banks plus one-third (1/3) of the difference between the two determined Fair Market Values of the Initial Banks and (2) less than the sum of the lower determined Fair Market Value of the Initial Banks plus two-thirds (2/3) of the difference between the two determined Fair Market Values of the Initial Banks), then the final Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities shall be the Fair Market Value determined by the Third Bank; and (ii) if the Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities determined by the Third Bank falls outside the middle third of the range between the determinations of the Initial Banks, then the final Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities shall be the Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities determined by the Initial Bank that is closer to the Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities determined by the Third Bank (the “Valuation Procedure”).

Section 10.16 Time of the Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time hereby is made expressly of the essence.

In addition, if the Borrower makes any payment in respect of which it is required by applicable Law to make any deduction or withholding, it shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation or other Governmental Authority within the time allowed for such payments under applicable Law and promptly thereafter shall furnish to the Lender an original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, together with such other information and documents as the Lender may reasonably request.

(iii) For purposes of this Agreement, “Excluded Taxes” shall mean, with respect to Lender (or any successor) (A) any taxes imposed on or measured by net income (or franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes), (1) which taxes are assessed or levied by a Governmental Authority of the jurisdiction under the Laws of which the Lender (or its successor, as the case may be) is organized or in which its principal executive offices may be located or (2) with respect to any payments received by the Lender under the Note Documents, which taxes are assessed or levied by a Governmental Authority of any jurisdiction as a result of the Lender (or its successor, as the case may be) engaging in a trade or business in (or being resident in) such jurisdiction for tax purposes (other than such tax arising solely from such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, any Note Document), (B) any taxes imposed on Borrower by the PRC to the extent that the issuance of or payment under this Note is treated as consideration for the sale by Lender or its subsidiaries of Transferred Equity Interests or Retained Equity Interests, and (C) any Tax imposed on any successor of the Lender by requirements of Law in effect at the time rights under this Note were assigned to such successor, except to the extent that the Lender was entitled, at the time of such assignment, to increased amounts or indemnity for such Tax pursuant to this Section 2.7.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or similar levies, together with any applicable interest or penalties, that arise from any payment made under this Note and the other Note Documents to which it is a party or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Note and the other Note Documents to which it is a party (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) If the Lender is required by Law to make any payment on account of Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) or Other Taxes, or any liability in respect of any Tax (other than Excluded Taxes) or Other Tax is imposed, levied or assessed against the Lender, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Lender for and against such payment or liability, together with any incremental or additional taxes, interest or penalties, and all costs and expenses, payable or incurred in connection therewith, including Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.7, whether or not such payment or liability was correctly or legally asserted.

Without prejudice and subject to Section 10.13 of the Framework Agreement, any provision of this Note that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 6.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS NOTE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS NOTE IS MADE UNDER, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE CAYMAN ISLANDS.

Section 6.12 Disputes.

(a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Note, or the breach, termination or validity hereof, shall be finally settled exclusively by arbitration. The arbitration shall be administered by, and conducted in accordance with the rules of, the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) in effect at the time of the arbitration, except as they may be modified by mutual agreement of the Parties. The seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore, provided, that, the arbitrators may hold hearings in such other locations as the arbitrators determine to be most convenient and efficient for all of the Parties to such arbitration under the circumstances. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.

(b) The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators. The Party initiating arbitration (the “Claimant”) shall appoint an arbitrator in its request for arbitration (the “Request”). The other Party to the arbitration (the “Respondent”) shall appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Request and shall notify the Claimant of such appointment in writing. If within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Request by the Respondent, either Party has not appointed an arbitrator, then that arbitrator shall be appointed by the ICC. The first two arbitrators appointed in accordance with this provision shall appoint a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the Respondent has notified Claimant of the appointment of the Respondent’s arbitrator or, in the event of a failure by a Party to appoint, within thirty (30) days after the ICC has notified the Parties and any arbitrator already appointed of the appointment of an arbitrator on behalf of the Party failing to appoint. When the third arbitrator has accepted the appointment, the two arbitrators making the appointment shall promptly notify the Parties of the appointment. If the first two arbitrators appointed fail to appoint a third arbitrator or so to notify the Parties within the time period prescribed above, then the ICC shall appoint the third arbitrator and shall promptly notify the Parties of the appointment. The third arbitrator shall act as Chair of the tribunal.

(c) The arbitral award shall be in writing, state the reasons for the award, and be final and binding on the Parties. The award may include an award of costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. In addition to monetary damages, the arbitral tribunal shall be empowered to award equitable relief, including, but not limited to, an injunction and specific performance of any obligation under this Note. The arbitral tribunal is not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages, and each Party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover punitive, exemplary or similar damages with respect to any dispute, except insofar as a claim is for indemnification for an award of punitive damages awarded against a Party in an action brought against it by an independent third Person. The arbitral tribunal shall be authorized in its discretion to grant pre-award and post-award interest at commercial rates. 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. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its assets.

(d) In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related disputes, and upon request of any Party to the arbitration proceeding, the arbitration tribunal may, within ninety (90) days of its appointment, consolidate the arbitration proceeding with any other arbitration proceeding involving any of the Parties relating to the Transaction Documents. The arbitration tribunal shall not consolidate such arbitrations unless it determines that (i) there are issues of fact or law common to the proceedings, so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (ii) no Party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise. In the event of different rulings on this question by the arbitration tribunal constituted hereunder and any tribunal constituted under the Transaction Documents, the ruling of the tribunal constituted under this Note will govern, and that tribunal will decide all disputes in the consolidated proceeding.

(e) The Parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including but not limited to any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any awards) shall not be disclosed beyond the tribunal, the ICC, the Parties, their counsel and any person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding, except as may be lawfully required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or otherwise, or as required by NASDAQ rules or the rules of any other quotation system or exchange on which the disclosing Party’s securities are listed or applicable Law.

(f) The costs of arbitration shall be borne by the losing Party unless otherwise determined by the arbitration award.

(h) Notwithstanding this Section 6.12 or any other provision to the contrary in this Note, no Party shall be obligated to follow the foregoing arbitration procedures where such Party intends to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an interim injunction or similar equitable relief against any other Party, provided there is no unreasonable delay in the prosecution of that application.

Section 6.13 Acknowledgements. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Note.

Section 6.14 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS NOTE AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

NOW THIS IPCO MORTGAGE WITNESSETH as follows:

1.	INTERPRETATION

1.1	In this IPCo Mortgage, unless the context otherwise requires, the following words and expressions shall have the following meanings:


“Event of Default”		means (i) Event of Default as defined in the IPCo Promissory Note or (ii) any failure to satisfy any of the Secured Obligations as and when the same may become due, after giving effect to any applicable cure period.

“Fair Market Value”		means as of a certain date (a) with respect to publicly traded Securities, the trading price of such Securities on such date, as reported by Bloomberg L.P., (b) with respect to cash, the value of such cash in Dollars, as reported by Bloomberg L.P., or (c) with respect to any other Securities or other Assets, the fair market value determined by the Valuation Procedure.

“Mortgaged Property”		means 50,000,000 ordinary shares of Alibaba (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations, reclassifications and the like) as described in Recital (F) (the “Mortgaged Shares”); all dividends or other distributions, interest and other moneys paid or payable after the date hereof in connection therewith and all interests in and all rights, benefits or advantages accruing at any time to or in respect of all or any of the Mortgaged Shares; any and all other property that may at any time be received or receivable by or otherwise distributed to the Mortgagor in respect of or in substitution for, or in exchange for, or on account of, any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any shares or other securities resulting from the division, consolidation, change, conversion or reclassification of any of the Mortgaged Shares, or the reorganization, merger or consolidation of Alibaba with any other body corporate, or the occurrence of any event which results in the substitution or exchange or cancellation of the Mortgaged Shares; and on the accrual, offer, issue or receipt of any Mortgaged Property or other rights accruing or incidental to any present or future Mortgaged Shares that the Mortgagor may receive instead of the Mortgagee, delivery or payment to the Mortgagee of all such rights with respect to accruing property and other rights.



“Mortgaged Shares”		has the meaning assigned thereto in the definition of Mortgaged Property.

“Parties”		means the parties to this IPCo Mortgage.

“Secured Obligations”		means all obligations and liabilities of the Borrower and each other Credit Party to pay any Liquidity Event Payment, any Impact Payment, any Increase Payment, any Make-Whole Payment, or any payment required to be made under the IPCo Promissory Note, the Legal Mortgage of IPCo Shares, the IPCo Asset Charge, any Top-Up Mortgage, any Shortfall Security Document or this IPCo Mortgage, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, or now existing or hereafter incurred or otherwise.

“Security Interest”		means any charge, mortgage, pledge, lien, right of set off, security interest or other encumbrance howsoever created or arising.

“Security Period”		means the period commencing on the date of execution of this IPCo Mortgage and terminating upon the Final Payment Date.

“Valuation Procedure”		means the following procedure: the Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities shall be determined by internationally recognized investment banking firms, one firm appointed by Mortgagee (“Mortgagee Bank”) and one firm appointed by Mortgagor (“Mortgagor Bank”, together with Mortgagee Bank, the “Initial Banks”), and if a third is necessary as provided below, the Initial Banks shall appoint a third investment bank (“Third Bank”). Each Initial Bank’s determination shall be made and delivered to Mortgagee and Mortgagor within thirty (30) days following the date on which the second Initial Bank was appointed. If the determinations of the Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities made by the Initial Banks are within ten percent (10%) of each other (i.e., the difference between the two determined Fair Market Value is equal to or less than ten percent (10%) of the higher determined Fair Market Value), then the average of the Mortgagee Bank-determined Fair Market Value and the Mortgagor Bank-determined Fair Market Value shall be used as the final Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities. If the determinations of the Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities made by the Initial Banks are not within ten percent (10%) of each other, then the determination of the Third Bank shall be delivered to Mortgagee and Mortgagor within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the Third Bank. The determination of the Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities by such Third Bank, together with such determinations provided by the Initial Banks, will be used to determine the final Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities as follows: (i) if the determination made by the Third Bank falls within the middle third of the range between the determinations made by the two Initial Banks (i.e., if the Third Bank determination is (1) greater than the sum of the lower determined Fair Market Values of the Initial Banks plus one-third (1/3) of the difference between the two determined Fair Market Values of the Initial Banks and (2) less than the sum of the lower determined Fair Market Value of the Initial Banks plus two-thirds (2/3) of the difference between the two determined Fair Market Values of the Initial Banks), then the final Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities shall be the Fair Market Value determined by the Third Bank; and (ii) if the Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities determined by the Third Bank falls outside the middle third of the range between the determinations of the Initial Banks, then the final Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities shall be the Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities determined by the Initial Bank that is closer to the Fair Market Value of the Assets or Securities determined by the Third Bank.

1.2	In this IPCo Mortgage:

1.2.1

Save as expressly defined in this IPCo Mortgage, capitalized terms defined in the Framework Agreement or the IPCo Promissory Note shall have the same meaning in this IPCo Mortgage.

“Charge”		means this fixed and floating charge;

“Charged Property”		means all of the property and Assets charged under this Charge in favour of the Chargee;

“Debts”		means all book debts and other debts now or from time to time hereafter due, owing or payable to the Chargor wheresoever situated and all choses in action which give rise or may give rise to book debts or other debts, and the benefits of all rights relating thereto and of obtaining or enforcing payment of the same and including, without limitation, the proceeds of the insurance referred to in clause 6.7(h);

“Event of Default”		means an Event of Default as defined in the IPCo Promissory Note, any default under this Charge, or any failure to satisfy any of the Secured Obligations as and when the same may become due, after giving effect to any applicable cure period.

“Fair Market Value”		means as of a certain date (a) with respect to publicly traded Securities, the trading price of such Securities on such date, as reported by Bloomberg L.P., (b) with respect to cash, the value of such cash in Dollars, as reported by Bloomberg L.P., or (c) with respect to any other Securities or other Assets, the fair market value determined by the Valuation Procedure.

“Land”		means freehold and leasehold land and buildings and erections and, where the context permits, all plant, machinery, fixtures (including trade and tenant fixtures) fittings and other equipment and effects from time to time thereon or on part thereof;

“Parties”		means the parties to this Charge;

“Secured Obligations”		means all obligations and liabilities of the Borrower and each other Credit Party to pay any Liquidity Event Payment, any Impact Payment, any Increase Payment, any Make-Whole Payment, or any payment required to be made under the IPCo Promissory Note, the Legal Mortgage of IPCo Shares, the Legal Mortgage of Alibaba Shares, any Top-Up Mortgage, any Shortfall Security Document or this Charge, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, or now existing or hereafter incurred or otherwise;



“Securities”		means all stocks, shares or other securities now or at any time during the continuance of this Charge belonging to the Chargor in any of its subsidiaries and Affiliates;

“Security Interest”		means any charge, mortgage, pledge, lien, right of set off, security interest or other encumbrance howsoever created or arising;

3.2	As a continuing security for the payment, discharge and performance of the Secured Obligations the Chargor as legal and beneficial owner hereby assigns to the Chargee:

3.6

Upon the satisfaction and discharge in full of the Secured Obligations (including Secured Obligations in respect of expense reimbursements and indemnification obligations then due and owing, but irrespective of any contingent expense reimbursement or indemnification obligation in respect of which no claim has been made) and following a written request therefor from the Chargor, the Chargee will release and reconvey the security constituted by this Charge, including all Charged Property, to Chargor or execute such further documents and take such other action as may be necessary or reasonably requested by the Chargor to transfer the Charged Property to Chargor.

3.7	The undertaking, property and Assets whatsoever now or at any time during the continuance of this Charge that are subject to Clauses 3.1(a) through (g) above (inclusive) shall be used by Chargor solely in accordance with the restrictions set forth in the Transaction Documents.

The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the Share comprised in any such transfer and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating to the sale.

CALLS ON SHARES

Any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable on allotment or at any date fixed by or in accordance with such terms of issue, whether on account of the nominal amount of the Share or by way of premium or otherwise, shall for all the purposes of these Articles be deemed to be a call duly made, notified and payable on the date on which, by the terms of issue, the same becomes payable and, in case of non-payment, all the relevant provisions of these Articles as to payment of interest, forfeiture or otherwise shall apply as if such sum had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

19.

If a Member fails to pay any call or instalment of a call on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Directors by Unanimous Director Approval may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of such call or instalment remains unpaid, serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued.

20.

The notice shall name a further day (not being less than the expiration of fourteen days from the date of the notice) on or before which, and the place where, the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that in the event of non payment on or before the day and at the place appointed, the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited. The Directors by Unanimous Director Approval may accept the surrender of any Share liable to be forfeited hereunder and, in such case, references to these Articles to forfeiture shall include surrender.

21.

If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any Share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment of all calls or instalments and interest due in respect thereof has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors by Unanimous Director Approval to that effect. Such forfeiture shall include dividends declared in respect of the forfeited Shares and not actually paid before the forfeiture.

22.

A forfeited Share may be sold, re-offered or otherwise disposed of either to the person who was, before forfeiture, the holder thereof or entitled thereto or to any other person upon such terms and in such manner as the Directors by Unanimous Director Approval shall think fit, and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition, the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors by Unanimous Director Approval think fit.

23.

A person whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of the forfeited Shares, but shall, notwithstanding the forfeiture, remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which at the date of forfeiture were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of the Shares with interest thereon at such rate as the Directors by Unanimous Director Approval may determine from the date of forfeiture until payment, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company receives payment in full of all amounts due in respect of the Shares. The Company may enforce payment without being under any obligation to make any allowance for the value of the Shares forfeited.

24.

An affidavit in writing that the deponent is a Director of the Company or the Secretary, and that a Share in the Company has been duly forfeited on the date stated in the affidavit, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for the Share on any sale, re-allotment or disposition thereof and may authorise some person to execute a transfer of the Share in favour of the person to whom the Share is sold, re-allotted or disposed of, and he shall thereupon be registered as the holder of the Share, and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale, re-allotment or disposal of the Share.

25.

The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium or otherwise, as if the same had been made payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

If the person so becoming entitled elects to be registered himself, he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects. If he shall elect to transfer the Shares, he shall signify his election by signing an instrument of transfer of such Shares in favour of his transferee.

Subject to the Deal Documents, the Directors may by Unanimous Director Approval, before declaring any dividend, set aside such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, at the discretion of a Unanimous Director Approval, be applicable for meeting contingencies, or for equalising dividends, or for any other purpose of the Company, and pending such application may, at the like discretion, either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments as the Directors may by Unanimous Director Approval from time to time think fit. The Directors may also without placing the same to reserve carry forward any sums which they think it prudent not to distribute.

Subject to the Deal Documents, the Directors by Unanimous Director Approval may capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts which are available for distribution (including its share premium account and capital redemption reserve fund, subject to the Law) or any sum standing to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution and to appropriate such sums to Members in the proportions in which such sum would have been divisible amongst them had the same been a distribution of profits by way of dividend and to apply such sum on their behalf in paying up in full unissued Shares for allotment and distribution credited as fully paid up to and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid.

85.

Where any difficulty arises in regard to any distribution under the last preceding Article, the Directors by Unanimous Director Approval may settle the same as they think expedient and, in particular, may authorise any person to sell and transfer any fractions or may resolve that the distribution should be as nearly as may be practicable in the correct proportion but not exactly so or may ignore fractions altogether, and may determine that cash payments should be made to any Members in order to adjust the rights of all parties, as may seem expedient to the Directors. The Directors by Unanimous Director Approval may appoint any person to sign on behalf of the persons entitled to participate in the distribution any contract necessary or desirable for giving effect thereto and such appointment shall be effective and binding upon the Members.

- 31 -

ACCOUNTING RECORDS

86.	The Directors shall cause to be kept accounting records sufficient to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs and to show and explain its transactions and otherwise in accordance with the Law and the Deal Documents.

87.

The accounting records shall be kept at the Registered Office or at such other place or places as the Directors by Unanimous Director Approval think fit, and shall at all times be open to inspection by the Directors. No Member (who is not also a Director) shall have any right to inspect any accounting record or book or document of the Company except as conferred by law or authorised by Unanimous Director Approval.

88.	From time to time the Directors by Unanimous Director Approval may determine (or revoke, alter or amend any such determination):

that there be prepared and sent to each Member and other person entitled thereto (including pursuant to the Deal Documents) a profit and loss account, a balance sheet, group accounts and/or reports for such period and on such terms as they may determine.

SERVICE OF NOTICES AND DOCUMENTS

89.

Any notice or other document (including a share certificate) or communication may be given to any Member by the Company either personally or by sending it by courier, post, telex, telefax or email to him to his registered address, or (if he has no registered address) to the address, if any, supplied by him to the Company for the giving of notices to him. Any notice shall be deemed to be effected

if sent by telex, telefax or email by properly addressing and sending such notice through the appropriate transmitting medium and to have been effected on the day the same is sent.

A notice may be given by the Company to the person entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member by sending it through the post in a prepaid letter addressed to them by name, or by the title of representatives of the deceased, or trustee of the bankrupt, or by any like description, at the address, if any, supplied for the purpose by the persons claiming to be so entitled, or (until such an address has been so supplied) by giving the notice in any manner in which the same might have been given if the death or bankruptcy had not occurred.

92.	ALL NOTICES BY THE COMPANY TO ANY MEMBER, OR BY ANY MEMBER TO THE COMPANY, SHALL BE COPIED TO THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS IN ORDER TO BE EFFECTIVE.

WINDING UP

93.

If the Company shall be wound up, but in any event subject to the terms of the Deal Documents, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a Unanimous Director Approval and a Special Resolution of the Company and any other sanction required by the Law, divide amongst the Members in specie or kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for such purpose set such value as he deems fair upon any property to be divided as aforesaid and may determine how such division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator, with the like sanction, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any Shares or other securities whereon there is any liability.

94.

If the Company shall be wound up and the assets available for distribution amongst the Members as such shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the paid up capital, but in any event subject to the terms of the Deal Documents, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the capital paid up, or which ought to have been paid up, at the commencement of the winding up, on the Shares held by them respectively. And if in a winding up the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the capital paid up at the commencement of the winding up, the excess shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the capital paid up at the commencement of the winding up on the Shares held by them respectively.

- 34 -

INDEMNITY

95.	Subject to the Deal Documents:

95.1

no Indemnified Person shall be liable to the Company for acts, defaults or omissions of any other Indemnified Person.

- 35 -

AMENDMENT OF MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES

98.

Subject to and insofar as permitted by the provisions of the Law and the Deal Documents, the Company may from time to time by Unanimous Director Approval and a Special Resolution alter or amend its Memorandum of Association or these Articles in whole or in part; provided, however that no such amendment shall affect the rights attaching to any class of Shares without the consent or sanction of a Unanimous Director Approval. The Memorandum of Association and the Articles may be amended after the Final Payment Date by Special Resolution alone.

99.

In the event of an inconsistency between the terms of the Deal Documents and the Articles of Association, the terms of the Deal Documents shall prevail (in so far as is permissible under the Law) and the Members agree to exercise their rights to vote in favour of a Special Resolution to amend these Articles in order to remedy any such inconsistency.

The Meeting Notice shall specify the date of the meeting, which date shall not be earlier than three (3) Business Days after the date of the Meeting Notice, the time of the meeting, and the place of the meeting.

If a Transaction Meeting is not held within ten (10) Business Days of the date specified in the Meeting Notice due to the action or inaction by any of the Directors (other than an Independent Director), then the Independent Directors or sole Independent Director, as applicable, may act by unanimous written consent without a Transaction Meeting with respect to the Alibaba Independent Action(s) set forth in the Meeting Notice. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Independent Directors may act by unanimous written consent without a Transaction Meeting if, in the Independent Directors’ judgment, immediate action is required under the circumstances in order to avoid material harm or loss to the Company, provided that prior to taking such action by unanimous written consent, the Independent Directors advise the Directors of such Alibaba Independent Action(s) and the rationale for taking such Alibaba Independent Action(s) without a Transaction Meeting.

A Meeting Notice need not be given to any Independent Director or any Director who signs a waiver of such Meeting Notice or a consent to holding the Transaction Meeting, whether before or after the Transaction Meeting, or who attends (by whatever permitted means) the Transaction Meeting without protesting, prior to its commencement, the validity of the Meeting Notice to such Independent Director or such Director.

(g)

THAT an Independent Director or other Director may participate in any Transaction Meeting by means of telephone, video conference or similar communication equipment by way of which all persons participating in such Transaction Meeting can hear each other and such participation shall be deemed to constitute presence in person at the Transaction Meeting.

Shanghai 200040, PRC

Agreed Form: July 29, 2011

Alibaba Group Holding Limited

Yahoo! Inc.

SOFTBANK CORP.

[Date], 2011

Dear Sirs:

Re: Enforceability of Transaction Documents

We are lawyers qualified in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”, which, for the purpose of this opinion, does not include the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Macau Special Administrative Region and Taiwan) and are qualified to issue an opinion on PRC Laws (as defined below).

We have been requested by 浙江阿里巴巴电子商务有限公司 (Zhejiang Alibaba E-Commerce Co., Ltd.) (“Holdco”) to give this opinion pursuant to Section 8.03(g) of the Framework Agreement entered into by Alibaba Group Holding Limited (“Alibaba”), Yahoo! Inc. (“Yahoo!”), SOFTBANK CORP. (“Softbank”), Holdco, 支付宝（中国）网络技术有限公司 (Xxxxxx.xxx Co., Ltd.) (“Opco”), Xxxx Xx Yun (“JMY”), (JMY together with Holdco and Opco are collectively referred to as “PRC Parties”) and the other parties on July 29, 2011 (“Framework Agreement”). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall, unless otherwise provided herein, have the meanings ascribed to them under the Framework Agreement.

In order to render this opinion, we have examined copies of the contracts and agreements set out in the Schedule I hereto (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), certificates issued by the officer of Holdco and other documents we considered appropriate (collectively, the “Documents”).

In our examination of these Documents, we have assumed, with your consent, that (a) all Documents submitted to us as copies conform to their originals and all Documents submitted to us as originals are authentic; (b) all signatures, seals and chops on such Documents are genuine; (c) other than the PRC Parties, all parties have the requisite power and authority to enter into the Documents and each of the Documents has been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by the relevant parties; (d) all factual information stated or given in such Documents is true and correct; (e) each of the Documents provided to us has not been revoked, amended, varied or supplemented in any manner; and (f) in response to our due diligence inquiries, requests and investigations for the purpose of this opinion, all the factual information and materials provided to us by Holdco or its Affiliates are true, accurate, complete and not misleading, and that Holdco has not withheld anything that, if disclosed to us, would reasonably cause us to alter this opinion in whole or in part.

Based on the foregoing and subject to the limitations and qualifications below, we are of the opinion that:

1. Each of the PRC Parties has all necessary power and authority to enter into each of the Transaction Documents to which it/he is a party, to carry out its/his obligations thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly executed and delivered by each of the PRC Parties, where appropriate, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each PRC Party, enforceable against such PRC Party in accordance with their respective terms. Other than the approvals, filings and registrations set forth in Schedule II hereto (the absence of which shall not affect the validity of the Transaction Documents), the entering into, delivery and performance of the Transactions Documents by each of the PRC Parties, where appropriate, are not subject to any other government approvals, filings and registrations under the PRC Laws.

2. The execution, delivery and due performance of the Transaction Documents by each of the PRC Parties and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not (i) contravene any provision of PRC Laws, or (ii) result in any violation of the business license and the articles of association of the Holdco and Opco.

3. The choice of New York law as the governing law of the Transaction Documents, excluding the Real Estate and Equity Option Agreement, and the choice of PRC law as the governing law of the Real Estate and Equity Option Agreement, are valid choices of law under the laws of the PRC respectively and the courts of the PRC will honor such choice of law. The arbitration clauses in each of the Transaction Documents are valid, binding and enforceable. Any arbitration award granted by the relevant arbitration tribunal based upon the relevant Transaction Documents would be declared enforceable against the relevant PRC Parties by the courts of the PRC, subject to compliance of the relevant civil procedure requirements under PRC Laws.

This opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

(a) This opinion is, in so far as it relates to the enforceability of a contract, subject to (A) any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (B) possible judicial or administrative actions or any PRC Laws affecting creditors’ rights, and (C) judicial discretion with respect to the availability of indemnifications, remedies or defenses, the calculation of damages, the entitlement to attorneys fees and other costs, the waiver of immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from legal process.

(b) The indemnification obligations of Holdco under Section 12 of the Commercial Agreement and Section 8 of the Intellectual Property License and Software Technology Services Agreement, if involving any payment obligations to an offshore indemnified person, may be deemed as a foreign guarantee under the PRC Laws. Therefore, the effectiveness of such indemnification provisions may be subject to the approval by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”).

(c) This opinion relates only to PRC Laws and we express no opinion as to any laws other than PRC Laws. As used herein, “PRC Laws” means all laws, statutes, regulations, orders, decrees, notices, circulars, judicial interpretations and other legislations of the PRC effective and available to the public as of the date hereof and there is no guarantee that any of such PRC Laws will not be changed, amended or revoked in the immediate future or in the longer term with or without retroactive effect. We do not, and do not purport to, opine on the interpretation or application of any accounting principles.

This opinion is intended to be used in the context which is specifically referred to herein and each paragraph should be looked at as a whole and no part should be extracted and referred to independently.

This opinion is solely for the benefit of the persons to whom it is addressed, for the purpose of the transactions contemplated under the Transaction Documents. It may not be relied upon by anyone else or used for any other purpose, in each instance, without our prior written consent.

Yours sincerely,

Fangda Partners

In giving this opinion we have relied (without further verification) upon the completeness and accuracy of the Director’s Certificate, the Company Register of Members, the Alibaba Register of Members, the Alibaba M&A and the Certificate of Good Standing. We have also relied upon the following assumptions, which we have not independently verified:

2.2	The Opinion Documents are, or will be, legal, valid, binding and enforceable against all relevant parties in accordance with their terms under all relevant laws (other than, with respect to the Company, [JMY] and [JT], the laws of the Cayman Islands).

2.3	The choice of Cayman Islands law as the governing law of the IPCo Promissory Note, the IPCo Asset Charge, the IPCo Legal Mortgage and the Legal Mortgage of IPCo Shares and the choice of the laws of New York as the governing law of the Framework Agreement have been made in good faith.

Immediately prior to the creation of the IPCo Legal Mortgage, the Company was the beneficial owner of the shares which are the subject of the security interest created by the IPCo Legal Mortgage (the “Secured Alibaba Shares”), and no encumbrances or equities exist in respect of the Secured Alibaba Shares (other than arising by virtue of the laws of the Cayman Islands) and that there is no contractual or other prohibition (other than one arising by virtue of the laws of the Cayman Islands) binding upon the Company preventing the Company from creating the security interest over the Secured Alibaba Shares pursuant to the IPCo Legal Mortgage.

2.9	Alibaba has not received a stop notice under Order 50 r.11 of the Grand Court Rules of the Cayman Islands in respect of the Secured Alibaba Shares.

2.10

Immediately prior to the creation of the Legal Mortgage of IPCo Shares, each of the Grantors was the beneficial owner of the shares which are the subject of the security interest created by the Legal Mortgage of IPCo Shares (the “Secured IPCo Shares”), and no encumbrances or equities exist in respect of the Secured IPCo Shares (other than arising by virtue of the laws of the Cayman Islands) and that there is no contractual or other prohibition (other than arising by virtue of the laws of the Cayman Islands) binding upon either of the Grantors preventing them from creating the security interest over the Secured IPCo Shares pursuant to the Legal Mortgage of IPCo Shares.

2.11	The Secured IPCo Shares have been fully paid and are not subject to any liens or rights of forfeiture under the relevant articles of association and the Company has not received a stop notice under Order 50 r.11 of the Grand Court Rules of the Cayman Islands in respect of the Secured IPCo Shares.

2.12

We have been provided with complete and accurate copies of all minutes of meetings or written resolutions or consents of the shareholders and directors (or any committee thereof) of the Company (which were duly convened, passed and/or (as the case may be) signed and delivered in accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company) and the Certificate of Incorporation, Memorandum and Articles of Association (as adopted on incorporation and as subsequently amended) and statutory registers of the Company.

2.13	Payment obligations of the Company under the Framework Agreement are unsubordinated and undeferred as a contractual matter under the governing law of the Framework Agreement and the parties to the Framework Agreement do not subsequently agree to subordinate or defer their claims.

2.14	The [Alibaba] M&A as adopted by special resolution passed on 5 November 2007 on effective on 6 November 2007 remain in full force and effect and are unamended.

2.15	There is nothing under any law (other than the law of the Cayman Islands) which would or might affect the opinions hereinafter appearing.

3	Opinions

Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing assumptions and the qualifications set out below, and having regard to such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

3.1	The Company has been duly incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

3.2	The Company has full power and authority under its Memorandum and Articles of Association to enter into, execute and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

3.3

The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder do not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company, the Alibaba M&A or any law, public rule or regulation applicable to the Company in the Cayman Islands currently in force.

3.4

The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents have been authorised by and on behalf of the Company and, assuming the Transaction Documents have been unconditionally delivered the Company, the Transaction Documents have been duly executed and will when delivered on behalf of the Company constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms.

3.5

Each of the Opinion Documents to which [JMY] and [JT] is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of [JMY] and [JT] (as the case may be), enforceable against [JMY] and [JT] in accordance with its terms under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The execution and delivery of the Legal Mortgage of IPCo Shares and the performance by [JMY] and [JT] of their respective obligations thereunder do not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company or any law, public rule or regulation applicable to [JMY] and [JT] in the Cayman Islands currently in force.

3.6	No authorisations, consents, approvals, licences, validations or exemptions are required by law from any governmental authorities or agencies or other official bodies in the Cayman Islands in connection with:

(a)

the creation, execution or delivery of the Opinion Documents by the Company, [JMY] and [JT];

(b)

subject to the payment of the appropriate stamp duty, enforcement of the Opinion Documents against the Company, [JMY] and [JT]; or

(c)

the performance by the Company, [JMY] and [JT] of their respective obligations under any of the Opinion Documents.

3.7

No taxes, fees or charges (other than stamp duty which may be payable if the original Opinion Documents are brought to or executed in the Cayman Islands) are payable (either by direct assessment or withholding) to the government or other taxing authority in the Cayman Islands under the laws of the Cayman Islands in respect of:

(a)

the execution or delivery of the Opinion Documents;

(b)

the enforcement of the Opinion Documents; or

(c)

payments made under, or pursuant to, the Opinion Documents.

The Cayman Islands currently have no form of income, corporate or capital gains tax and no estate duty, inheritance tax or gift tax.

3.8

The courts of the Cayman Islands will observe and give effect to the choice of Cayman Islands law as the governing law of the IPCo Promissory Note, the IPCo Asset Charge, the IPCo Legal Mortgage and the Legal Mortgage of IPCo Shares and the choice of the laws of New York as the governing law of the Framework Agreement.

3.9

Based solely on our search of the Register of Writs and Other Originating Process (the “Court Register”) maintained by the Clerk of the Court of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands from the date of incorporation of the Company to [—] 2011 (the “Litigation Search”), the Court Register disclosed no writ, originating summons, originating motion, petition, counterclaim nor third party notice (“Originating Process”) nor any amended Originating Process pending before the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, in which the Company, [HoldCo], [JMY] or [JT] is a defendant or respondent.

3.10

The courts of the Cayman Islands will recognise and enforce arbitral awards made pursuant to an arbitration agreement in a jurisdiction which is a party to the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (the “New York Convention”). Singapore and the Cayman Islands are parties to the New York Convention with the result that an arbitral award made in Singapore pursuant to the Opinion Documents will be recognised and enforced in the Cayman Islands unless the party against whom enforcement is sought can establish one of the defences set out in section 7 of the Foreign Arbitral Awards Enforcement Law (1997 Revision) of the Cayman Islands.

3.11	It is not necessary to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of the Opinion Documents that any document be filed, recorded or enrolled with any governmental authority or agency or any official body in the Cayman Islands.

3.12	The IPCo Asset Charge creates a valid fixed and floating charge over the Secured IPCo Property and no further steps are required as a matter of Cayman Islands law to perfect such security interest.

3.13	The IPCo Legal Mortgage creates a valid legal mortgage over the Secured Alibaba Shares. In relation to the IPCo Legal Mortgage:

(a)

no steps are required as a matter of Cayman Islands law to perfect such security interest or to regulate its ranking in point of priority; and

(b)

the legal mortgage created by the IPCo Legal Mortgage will have priority over any claims by third parties (other than those preferred by Cayman Islands law), including any liquidator or a creditor of the Company, subject in the case of a winding up of the Company in a jurisdiction other than the Cayman islands to any provisions of the laws of that jurisdiction as to priority of claims in a winding up.

3.14	The Legal Mortgage of IPCo Shares creates a valid legal mortgage over the Secured IPCo Shares. In relation to the Legal Mortgage of IPCo Shares:

(a)

no steps are required as a matter of Cayman Islands law to perfect such security interest or to regulate its ranking in point of priority; and

(b)

subject to the insolvency laws applicable to the Grantors, the security interest created by the Legal Mortgage of IPCo Shares will have priority over any claims by third parties (other than those preferred by Cayman Islands law).

3.15	Based solely on the Director’s Certificate and our review of the Register of Members of the Company, the Secured IPCo Shares have been validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable.

3.16	The obligations of the Company under the Transaction Documents rank and will rank at least pari passu with all its other present and future unsecured obligations (other than those preferred by Cayman Islands law).

3.17	There is no exchange control legislation under Cayman Islands law and accordingly there are no exchange control regulations imposed under Cayman Islands law. The transactions contemplated by the Opinion Documents are not subject to any currency deposit or reserve requirements in the Cayman Islands.

3.18	None of the parties to the Opinion Documents (other than the Company and [Alibaba]) is or will be treated as resident, domiciled or carrying on or transacting business in the Cayman Islands solely by reason of the negotiation, preparation or execution of the Opinion Documents.

4	Qualifications

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications:

4.1

The term “enforceable” as used above means that the obligations assumed by the Company under the Transaction Documents, or by [JMY] and [JT] under the Opinion Documents to which they are a party, are of a type which the courts of the Cayman Islands will enforce. It does not mean that those obligations will necessarily be enforced in all circumstances in accordance with their terms. In particular:

(a)

enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganisation, readjustment of debts or moratorium or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the rights of creditors;

(b)

enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity. For example, equitable remedies such as specific performance may not be available, inter alia, where damages are considered to be an adequate remedy;

(c)

some claims may become barred under the statutes of limitation or may be or become subject to defences of set off, counterclaim, estoppel and similar defences;

(d)

where obligations are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands, they may not be enforceable in the Cayman Islands to the extent that performance would be illegal under the laws of that jurisdiction;

(e)

the courts of the Cayman Islands have jurisdiction to give judgment in the currency of the relevant obligation and statutory rates of interest payable upon judgments will vary according to the currency of the judgment. If the Company becomes insolvent and is made subject to a liquidation proceeding, the courts of the Cayman Islands will require all debts to be proved in a common currency, which is likely to be the “functional currency” of the Company determined in accordance with applicable accounting principles. Currency indemnity provisions have not been tested, so far as we are aware, in the courts of the Cayman Islands;

(f)

arrangements that constitute penalties will not be enforceable;

(g)

the courts of the Cayman Islands may decline to exercise jurisdiction in relation to substantive proceedings brought under or in relation to the Opinion Documents in matters where they determine that such proceedings may be tried in a more appropriate forum;

(h)

we reserve our opinion as to the enforceability of the relevant provisions of the Opinion Documents to the extent that they purport to grant exclusive jurisdiction to the courts of a particular jurisdiction as there may be circumstances in which the courts of the Cayman Islands would accept jurisdiction notwithstanding such provisions; and

(i)

a company cannot, by agreement or in its articles of association, restrict the exercise of a statutory power and there exists doubt as to enforceability of any provision in the Opinion Documents whereby the Company covenants not to exercise powers specifically given to its shareholders by the Companies Law (2010 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, including, without limitation, the power to increase its authorised share capital, amend its memorandum and articles of association, or present a petition to a Cayman Islands court for an order to wind up the Company.

4.2	Applicable court fees will be payable in respect of the enforcement of the Opinion Documents.

4.3	Cayman Islands stamp duty may be payable if the original Opinion Documents are brought to or executed in the Cayman Islands.

4.4	To maintain the Company in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands, annual filing fees must be paid and returns made to the Registrar of Companies.

4.5

The Company must make an entry in its Register of Mortgages and Charges in respect of all mortgages and charges created by the Company under the Opinion Documents in order to comply with section 54 of the Companies Law (2010 Revision) of the Cayman Islands; failure by the Company to comply with this requirement does not operate to invalidate any mortgage or charge though it may be in the interests of the secured parties that the Company should comply with the statutory requirements.

4.6

The obligations of the Company may be subject to restrictions pursuant to United Nations sanctions as implemented under the laws of the Cayman Islands and/or restrictive measures adopted by the European Union Council for Common Foreign and Security Policy extended to the Cayman Islands by the Order of Her Majesty in Council.

4.7

A certificate, determination, calculation or designation of any party to the Opinion Documents as to any matter provided therein might be held by a Cayman Islands court not to be conclusive final and binding if, for example, it could be shown to have an unreasonable or arbitrary basis, or in the event of manifest error.

4.8

The Litigation Search of the Court Register would not reveal, amongst other things, an Originating Process filed with the Grand Court which, pursuant to the Grand Court Rules or best practice of the Clerk of the Courts’ office, should have been entered in the Court Register but was not in fact entered in the Court Register (properly or at all).

4.9

In principle the courts of the Cayman Islands will award costs and disbursements in litigation in accordance with the relevant contractual provisions but there remains some uncertainty as to the way in which the rules of the Grand Court will be applied in practice. Whilst it is clear that costs incurred prior to judgment can be recovered in accordance with the contract, it is likely that post-judgment costs (to the extent recoverable at all) will be subject to taxation in accordance with Grand Court Rules Order 62.

4.10

Following the English decision in MacMillan Inc. V Bishopsgate Trust (No. 3) [1995] 1 W.L.R. 978, which would be persuasive although not technically binding in the courts of the Cayman Islands, it is not necessarily the case that, as a matter of Cayman Islands conflict of law rules, priorities of competing interests in shares in a Cayman Islands company will be determined according to the jurisdiction of incorporation of such company, for example, when the register of members is maintained in another jurisdiction.

4.11

All transfers of shares and any alteration in the status of the members of a company that take place after the commencement of the winding up of the company are void unless, in the case of a transfer of shares in a voluntary winding up, the transfer is made to or with the sanction of the liquidator or, in the case of a winding up by, or under the supervision of, the Court, the Court consents.

4.12	The articles of association of [Alibaba] contain restrictions on the transferability of its shares which may affect the ability of [Mortgagee] to realise its security by, for example, selling the Secured Alibaba Shares.

4.13	The articles of association of the Company contain restrictions on the transferability of its shares which may affect the ability of [Mortgagee] to realise its security by, for example, selling the Secured IPCo Shares.

4.14

The courts of the Cayman Islands would not recognise or enforce foreclosure (meaning the assumption by the mortgagee of beneficial ownership of the Secured Alibaba Shares or the Secured IPCo Shares and the extinction of the mortgagor’s equity of redemption therein) against the Secured Alibaba Shares or the Secured IPCo Shares pursuant to any provision in the IPCo Legal Mortgage or the Legal Mortgage of IPCo Shares in the absence of foreclosure proceedings against the relevant mortgagor in the courts of the Cayman Islands, or a judgment in respect of foreclosure proceedings against the mortgagor in the courts of another jurisdiction which the courts of the Cayman Islands are prepared to enforce in accordance with the usual principles applicable to the enforcement of foreign judgments in the Cayman Islands. Without limiting the foregoing, we give no opinion as to the enforceability of section [7.1.4] of the IPCo Legal Mortgage, section [7.1.4] of the Legal Mortgage of IPCo Shares or section [7.1(c)] of the IPCo Asset Charge.

4.15

The interest of the secured party created pursuant to the IPCo Asset Charge, to the extent that it constitutes a floating charge, will rank after (i) any prior legal or perfected equitable interest in the Secured IPCo Property and (ii) any later legal interest in the Secured IPCo Property created in favour of a bona fide purchaser or mortgagee for value without notice of the security interest created pursuant to the IPCo Asset Charge.

4.16	Preferred creditors under the Companies Law (2010 Revision) will rank ahead of unsecured creditors and secured creditors where the secured creditors’ security is in the nature of a floating charge.

4.17

Preferred creditors under Cayman Islands law will rank ahead of unsecured creditors of the Company. Furthermore, all costs, charges and expenses properly incurred in the voluntary winding up of a company, including the remuneration of the liquidators, are payable out of the assets of the company in priority to all other unsecured claims.

4.18	On a winding up of the Company:

(a)

claims by employees working in the Cayman Islands in respect of severance pay (subject to a maximum of 12 weeks final basic wage) are paid in priority to all other debts whether unsecured or secured (and whether that security is fixed or floating);

(b)

the following debts are paid in priority to all unsecured debts or debts secured by a floating charge:

(i)

any sum due by the Company to an employee, whether employed in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere in respect of salaries, wages and gratuities accrued during the four months immediately preceding the liquidation;

(ii)

any sum due and payable by the Company on behalf of an employee in respect of medical health insurance or pension fund contributions;

(iii)

any sum due in respect of severance pay and earned vacation leave where the employee’s contract has been terminated as a result of the winding up;

(iv)

any compensation payable to a xxxxxxx in respect of injuries incurred at work pursuant to the Workmen’s Compensation Law (1996 Revision); and

(v)

certain taxes due to the Cayman Islands Government comprising customs duties, stamp duty, licence fees, sums payable under the Companies Law (2010 Revision) such as annual return fees, sums payable under the Tourist Accommodation (Taxation) Law (2003 Revision).

4.19	We reserve our opinion as to the extent to which the courts of the Cayman Islands would, in the event of any relevant illegality, sever the offending provisions and enforce the remainder of the transaction of which such provisions form a part, notwithstanding any express provisions in this regard.

4.20	We make no comment with regard to the references to foreign statutes in the Opinion Documents.

We express no view as to the commercial terms of the Opinion Documents or whether such terms represent the intentions of the parties and make no comment with regard to the representations that may be made by the Company.

This opinion is addressed to and is for the benefit solely of the addressees and may not be relied upon by, or disclosed to, any other person without our prior written consent. This opinion may, however, be disclosed by the addressees hereof to the extent required by law, regulation or any governmental or competent authority or to its legal or other professional advisers, provided that no such party to whom this opinion is disclosed may rely on this opinion without our express written consent.

Yours faithfully

I, , being a director of the Company, am aware that you are being asked to provide a legal opinion (the “Opinion”) in relation to certain aspects of Cayman Islands law. Capitalised terms used in this certificate have the meaning given to them in the Opinion. I hereby certify that:

1	The Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company as adopted or registered on [—] 2011 remain in full force and effect and are unamended [save for the amendments made by special resolution passed on [—] 2011].

2	The Transaction Documents have been unconditionally delivered by a director of the Company pursuant to the Board Resolutions.

3	The Company has not entered into any mortgages or charges over its property or assets other than those entered in the register of mortgages and charges, or contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

4	The Board Resolutions were signed by all the directors in the manner prescribed in the Articles of Association of the Company.

5	The Shareholder Resolutions were signed by all the members of the Company in the manner prescribed in the Articles of Association of the Company.

6	The issued share capital of the Company is [—] ordinary shares of a par value of [—] each, all of which have been issued and are fully paid up.

The shareholders of the Company have not restricted or limited the powers of the directors in any way. There is no contractual or other prohibition (other than as arising under Cayman Islands law) binding on the Company prohibiting it from entering into and performing its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

8	The Board Resolutions were duly adopted, are in full force and effect at the date hereof and have not been amended, varied or revoked in any respect.

9	The directors of the Company at the date of Board Resolutions and at the date hereof were and are as follows: [—].

Prior to, at the time of, and immediately following the execution of the Transaction Documents the Company was, or will be, able to pay its debts as they fell, or fall, due and has entered, or will enter, into the Transaction Documents for proper value and not with an intention to defraud or wilfully defeat an obligation owed to any creditor or with a view to giving a creditor a preference.

11	Each director considers the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to be of commercial benefit to the Company and has acted bona fide in the best interests of the Company, and for a proper purpose of the Company, in relation to the transactions which are the subject of the Opinion.

Nor have the directors or shareholders taken any steps to have the Company struck off or placed in liquidation, nor have any steps been taken to wind up the Company. Nor has any receiver been appointed over any of the Company’s property or assets.

I confirm that you may continue to rely on this certificate as being true and correct on the day that you issue the Opinion unless I shall have previously notified you personally to the contrary.

(f) Any “Event of Default” (as defined in any other Shortfall Security Document) shall occur and not be cured within five (5) Business Days following its occurrence.

(a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Secured Party shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement or any other Document, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and other applicable laws, including the sale, collection or other realization on the Pledge Collateral, and may (i) to the extent the Obligations are then due and owing, apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations then due and owing, and (ii) otherwise, hold such proceeds itself as collateral for the Obligations not yet due and owing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgor agrees that any item of the Pledged Collateral may be sold for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, in any number of lots at the same or different times, at any exchange, brokers’ board or elsewhere, by public or private sale, and at such times and on such terms, as Secured Party shall determine; provided, however, that Pledgor shall be credited with the net proceeds of sale only when such proceeds are finally collected by Secured Party in cash. Secured Party shall give Pledgor such notice of any private or public sales as may be required by the UCC or other applicable Law. Pledgor recognizes that Secured Party may be unable to make a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Collateral, by reason of prohibitions contained in applicable securities laws or otherwise, and expressly agrees that a private sale to a restricted group of purchasers for investment and not with a view to any distribution thereof shall be considered a commercially reasonable sale. Secured Party and Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by Law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which right or equity of redemption Pledgor hereby releases to the extent permitted by law.

(b) The cash proceeds actually received from the sale or other disposition or collection of Pledged Collateral, and any other amounts received in respect of the Pledged Collateral the application of which is not otherwise provided for herein, shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations as the same become due and payable. Any surplus thereof which exists after payment and performance in full of the Obligations shall be promptly paid over to Pledgor or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the UCC or other applicable Law. Pledgor shall remain liable to Secured Party, as Agent and Lender for any deficiency which exists after any sale or other disposition or collection of Pledged Collateral.

(c) Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any release or termination of Pledged Collateral, or any sale or other disposition of Pledged Collateral by Secured Party, may result in the liquidation of time deposits constituting all or a portion of the Pledged Collateral, whether or not such time deposits have matured and notwithstanding the fact that such liquidation may give rise to penalties or other breakage costs as a result of an early withdrawal of funds.

(d) Pledgor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) any right of redemption with respect to the Pledged Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling of the Pledged Collateral or other collateral or security for the Obligations; (ii) any right to require Secured Party or Lender (A) to proceed against any Person, (B) to exhaust any other collateral or security for any of the Obligations, (C) to pursue any remedy in Secured Party’s or Lender’s power, or (D) to make or give any presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protests or notices of dishonor in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral; and (iii) all claims, damages, and demands against Secured Party or Lender arising out of the repossession, retention, sale or application of the proceeds of any sale of the Pledged Collateral, other than those resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Secured Party or Lender.

(e) Pledgor waives any right it may have to require Secured Party or any Lender to pursue any third person for any of the Obligations. Secured Party may comply with any applicable state or federal Law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Pledged Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Pledged Collateral. Secured Party may sell the Pledged Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Pledged Collateral. Secured Party may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Pledged Collateral. If Secured Party sells any of the Pledged Collateral upon credit, Pledgor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Secured Party and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Pledged Collateral, Secured Party may resell the Pledged Collateral and Pledgor shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.

SECTION 8. Notices. All notices or other communications hereunder shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission) and mailed (by certified or registered mail), sent or delivered to the respective parties hereto at or to their respective addresses, facsimile numbers or email addresses set forth below their names on the signature pages hereof, or at or to such other address or facsimile number as shall be designated by any party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices and communications shall be effective (i) if delivered by hand, sent by certified or registered mail or sent by an overnight courier service, when received; and (ii) if sent by facsimile transmission or electronic mail, when sent.

SECTION 9. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of Secured Party or Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges that may otherwise be available to Secured Party or Lender.

SECTION 10. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Pledgor, Secured Party, Lender and their respective successors and assigns. Pledgor may not assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey its rights, benefits, obligations or duties hereunder without the prior express written consent of Secured Party and Lender. Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by Pledgor without the prior express written consent of Secured Party and Lender shall be void.

SECTION 11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, except as required by mandatory provisions of Law and to the extent the validity or perfection of the security interests hereunder, or the remedies hereunder, in respect of any Pledged Collateral are governed by the Law of a jurisdiction other than New York.

SECTION 12. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall not be amended except by the written agreement of the parties.

SECTION 13. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all applicable Laws and regulations. If, however, any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such Law in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such Law, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement, or the validity or effectiveness of such provision in any other jurisdiction. This Section 13 shall be without prejudice and subject to Section 10.13 of the Framework Agreement.

SECTION 14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

SECTION 17. Costs and Expenses.

“Mortgaged Shares”		has the meaning assigned thereto in the definition of Mortgaged Property.

Each Initial Bank’s determination shall be made and delivered to Mortgagee and the Mortgagors within thirty (30) days following the date on which the second Initial Bank was appointed.
