sale of the Stock pursuant to substantially the same terms and conditions as
specified in the Transfer Notice, and the Transferring Shareholder shall upon
receiving the same from the prospective purchaser concurrently remit to each
Investor that portion of the sale proceeds to which that Investor is entitled by
reason of its participation in the sale. To the extent that any prospective
purchaser or purchasers prohibits assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase
shares or other securities from the Investors, the Transferring Shareholder
shall not sell to the prospective purchaser or purchasers any Stock unless and
until, simultaneously with the sale, the Transferring Shareholder purchases
those shares or other securities from the Investors.

         5.3.     Sale by Transferring Shareholder. Subject to Section 5.6, if
and to the extent that the Investors do not exercise their Right of First
Refusal or their Co-Sale Right in aggregate with respect to the sale of all the
Stock subject to the Transfer Notice within the relevant prescribed period, the
Transferring Shareholder may, not later than 60 days following delivery to the
Company and the Non-transferring Shareholders of the Transfer Notice, conclude a
bona fide transfer of all of the Stock covered by the Transfer Notice on terms
and conditions not more favorable to the transferee or transferor than those
described in the Transfer Notice. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions
more favorable than those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any
subsequent proposed transfer of any Stock by the Transferring Shareholder, shall
again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Right of the
Investors and shall require compliance by the Transferring Shareholder with the
procedures described in this Section 5.

         5.4.     No Adverse Effect. The Investors' exercise or non-exercise of
the Right of First Refusal or the Co-Sale Right shall not adversely affect their
rights to participate in subsequent transfers of Stock by the Transferring
Shareholder subject to the provisions of this Section 5.

         5.5.     Exempt Transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Right of
Refusal and the Co-Sale Right shall not apply to the sale of up to US$3,000,000
worth of shares of Common Stock by the Founder Holding Companies to SAIF
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

         5.6.     Prohibited Transfer. The Founder Holding Companies agree not
to transfer any of the Stock they hold without the prior written consent of
SAIF. In the event the Transferring Shareholder sells any Stock in contravention
of the Right of First Refusal or the Co-Sale Right of the Investors or without
the consent of SAIF (a "PROHIBITED TRANSFER"), the Investors, in addition to
other remedies as may be available at law, in equity or hereunder, shall have
the put option provided in Section 5.7 below, and the Transferring Shareholder
shall be bound by the applicable provisions of that put option. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that SAIF no longer holds any shares of the
Company's capital stock, any of the Founder Holding Companies may, subject to
the provisions of Section 5.1, transfer any shares of the Company's capital
stock held by it; provided that the Founder Holding Companies shall collectively
hold not less than 51% of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
the Company after such transfer.

                                       10
<PAGE>

         5.7.     Remedies. In the event of a Prohibited Transfer, the Investors
shall have the right to sell to the Transferring Shareholder the type and number
of shares of Stock equal to the number of shares of stock the Investors would
have been entitled to transfer to the purchaser had the Prohibited Transfer been
effected pursuant to and in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (the
"PUT OPTION"). This sale shall be made on the following terms and conditions:

                  (a)      the price per share at which the Stock is to be sold
to the Transferring Shareholder shall be equal to the price per share paid in
the Prohibited Transfer;

                  (b)      the Transferring Shareholder shall reimburse the
Investors for any and all reasonable fees and expenses, including legal fees and
expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of the
Investors' rights under this Section 5;

                  (c)      within 90 days after the earlier of the dates on
which the Investors (i) receive notice of the Prohibited Transfer, or (ii)
otherwise become aware of the Prohibited Transfer, the Investors shall, if
exercising the Put Option created by this Section 5.7, deliver to the
Transferring Shareholder the certificate or certificates representing the Stock
to be sold, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer;

                  (d)      the Transferring Shareholder shall, upon receipt of
the certificate or certificates for the Stock to be sold by the Investors,
pursuant to this Section 5.7, pay the aggregate purchase price therefor and the
amount of reimbursable fees and expenses, as specified in Section 5.7(b), in
cash or by other means acceptable to the Investors; and

                  (e)      notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees it
will not effect any attempt by the Transferring Shareholder to transfer Stock in
violation of this Section 5 nor will it treat any alleged transferee as the
holder of the Stock purported to be transferred without the written consent of
the Investors unless the Put Option is completed pursuant to Section 5.7.

         5.8      Restrictions on the Transfer of the Preferred Stock. Shares of
the Preferred Stock, or any classes of capital stock of the Company held by SAIF
and Investors are freely transferable, subject to restrictions under applicable
laws, provided, however, that (i) SAIF or Investors, as appropriate, shall give
advance written notice to the Company with respect to a proposed transfer of the
such shares, and (ii) SAIF or Investors, as appropriate, shall not transfer such
shares to any of the five competitors of the Company listed on Exhibit 5.8,
which list may be updated by the Company periodically on the six-month basis,
without giving the Company a right of first refusal with respect to such
transfers and Sections 5.1 and 5.4 shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect to
the rights and obligations of the Company and the Investors in relation to such
right of first refusal.

6.       Representations and Warranties, Covenants and Other Agreements of the
Founders.

         6.1      Ownership of Twin Luck and Luck Joy. Each of the Founders
jointly and severally represents to SAIF that:

                  (a)      Chen Tianqiao is the sole record and beneficial owner
of all the issued share capital of Twin Luck, free and clear of all liens,

encumbrances of any nature whatsoever (the "ENCUMBRANCES").

                                       11
<PAGE>

                  (b)      Chen Danian is the sole record and beneficial owner
of all the issued share capital of Luck Joy, free and clear of all the
Encumbrances.

         6.2      Restrictions on the Transfer. Each of the Founders jointly and
severally undertakes to SAIF that he will not transfer, alienate or dispose of
any share capital in any of the Founder Holding Company or otherwise create any
Encumbrance on any share capital of any of the Founder Holding Company (the
"TRANSFER"} without the written consent of SAIF. Each of the Founders further
agrees with SAIF that he will instruct the registered agent of the Founder
Holding Company to give free access to SAIF or its agents to the members
register of any Founder Holding Company in order for SAIF to verify the members
of the Founder Holding Companies, such right of access shall be exercised
reasonably.

7.       Demand Registration.

         7.1.     Request for Registration on Form Other Than Form F-3. Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Company receives from the
Initiating Holders at any time six months after the closing of the Company's
initial public offering of shares of Common Stock under a Registration
Statement, a written request that the Company effect any Registration with
respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities on a form other than Form
F-3 for an offering of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, the Company
shall (i) promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration to all other
Holders, and (ii) as soon as practicable, use commercially reasonable efforts to
effect the Registration of the Registrable Securities specified in the request,
together with any Registrable Securities of any Holder in that request as are
specified in a written request given within 20 days after written notice from
the Company. The Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any
Registration pursuant to this Section 7.1 after the Company has effected three
Registrations pursuant to this Section 7.1 and each Registration has been
declared effective. The substantive provisions of Section 7.5 shall be
applicable to the Registration initiated under this Section 7.1.

         7.2.     Request for Registration on Form F-3. If any Holder requests
that the Company file a Registration Statement on Form F-3 (or any successor
form to Form F-3, or any comparable form for a Registration in a jurisdiction
other than the United States) for a public offering, of shares of Registrable
Securities, the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of which,
net of Selling Expenses, would not be less than US$ 1,000,000, and the Company
is a registrant entitled to use Form F-3 or comparable form to Register the
Registrable Securities for an offering, the Company shall use all reasonable
efforts to cause those Registrable Securities to be Registered for the offering
on that form and to cause those Registrable Securities to be qualified in
jurisdictions as the Holder or Holders may reasonably request. The Company shall
not be required to effect more than one Registration pursuant to this Section
7.2 in any six month period. The substantive provisions of Section 7.5 shall be
applicable to each Registration initiated under this Section 7.2.

         7.3.     Right of Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall not be obligated to file a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section
7:

                  (a)      in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company
would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in
effecting that Registration, qualification, or compliance, unless the Company is
already subject to service in that jurisdiction and except as may

                                       12
<PAGE>

be required by the Securities Act or other applicable law in a jurisdiction
other than the United States in which the Registration is being effected;

                  (b)      if the Company, within ten days of the receipt of the
request of any Initiating Holder(s), gives notice of its bona fide intention to
effect the filing of a Registration Statement with the Commission or comparable
regulatory agency for a Registration in a jurisdiction other than the United
States within 60 days of receipt of that request (other than a registration of
securities in a Rule 145 transaction or an offering, solely to employees),
provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable
efforts to cause that Registration Statement to become effective. Any
Registration of Registrable Securities consequent to such efforts shall be
deemed to have been initiated by the Company, not by the Initiating Holders
under Section 7.1, and the original request by the Initiating Holders to
Register Registrable Securities shall instead be deemed a request to include the
Registrable Securities specified in the request in such Registration under
Section 8;

                  (c)      within six months immediately following the effective
date of any Registration Statement pertaining to the securities of the Company
(other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with
respect to an employee benefit plan); or

                  (d)      if the Company furnishes to those Holders a
certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good
faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or
its shareholders for a Registration Statement to be filed in the near future,
then the Company's obligation to use its best efforts to file a Registration
Statement shall be deferred for a period not to exceed 60 days from the receipt
of the request to file the Registration by that Holder provided that the Company
shall not exercise the right contained in this Section 7.3(d) more than once in
any twelve month period and provided further, that during such 60 day period the
Company shall not file a Registration Statement with respect to the public
offering of securities of the Company.

         7.4.     Registration of Other Securities in Demand Registration. Any
Registration Statement filed pursuant to the request of any Holder under this
Section 7 may, subject to the provisions of Section 7.5, include Common Stock of
the Company other than Registrable Securities.

         7.5.     Underwriting in Demand Registration.

                  (a)      Notice of Underwriting. If the Initiating Holders
intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by
means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their
request made pursuant to this Section 7, and the Company shall include that
information in the written notice referred to in Section 7.1 or 7.2 of this
Agreement. The right of any Holder to Registration pursuant to this Section 7
shall be conditioned upon that Holder's agreement to participate in the
underwriting and the inclusion of that Holder's Registrable Securities in the
underwriting. In such event, the Company shall (together with all Holders
proposing to distribute their securities through the underwriting) enter into an
underwriting agreement with the representative (the "UNDERWRITER'S
REPRESENTATIVE") of the underwriter or underwriters selected for the
underwriting by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being
Registered by the Initiating Holders and agreed to by the Company.

                                       13
<PAGE>

                  (b)      Inclusion of Other Holders in Demand Registration. If
the Company, officers or directors of the Company holding Common Stock other
than Registrable Securities, or holders of securities other than Registrable
Securities, request inclusion of such Common Stock or other securities in the
Registration, the Initiating Holders, to the extent they deem advisable and
consistent with the goals of that Registration, may, in their sole discretion,
on behalf of all Holders, offer to any or all of the Company, those officers or
directors, and the holders of securities other than Registrable Securities that
such Common Stock or other securities be included in the underwriting and may
condition that offer on the acceptance by those persons of the terms of this
Section 7. If, however, the number of shares so included exceeds the number of
shares of Registrable Securities included by all Holders, the Registration shall
be treated as governed by Section 8 of this Agreement rather than this Section
7, and it shall not count as a Registration for purposes of this Section 7.

                  (c)      Selection of Underwriter in Demand Registration. The
Company shall (together with all Holders proposing to distribute their
securities through the underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement with
the representative ("Underwriter's Representative") of the underwriter or
underwriters selected for the underwriting by the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities being Registered by the Initiating Holders and agreed to
by the Company.

                  (d)      Marketing Limitation in Demand Registration. In the
event the Underwriter's Representative advises the Initiating Holders in writing
that market factors (including, without limitation, the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock requested to be Registered, the general condition of the
market, and the status of the persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to
the Registration) require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten, then the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be
included in the Registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all
Initiating Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective
amounts of Registrable Securities entitled to inclusion in that Registration
held by those Initiating Holders at the time of filing the Registration
Statement. No Registrable Securities or other securities excluded from the
underwriting by reason of this Section 7.5(d) shall be included in that
Registration Statement.

                  (e)      Right of Withdrawal in Demand Registration. If any
Holder of Registrable Securities, or a holder of other securities entitled (upon
request) to be included in that Registration, disapproves of the terms of the
underwriting, that person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to
the Company, the Underwriter's Representative, and the Initiating Holders
delivered at least seven days prior to the effective date of the Registration
Statement. The securities so withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from the
Registration Statement.

         7.6.     Other Securities Laws in Demand Registration. In the event of
any Registration pursuant to this Section 7, the Company shall exercise its
commercially reasonable endeavors to Register and qualify the securities covered
by the Registration Statement under the securities laws of any other
jurisdictions in the United States of America, Hong Kong and Singapore as shall
be reasonably appropriate for the distribution of the securities; provided,
however, that: (a) the Company shall not be required to do business or to file a
general consent to service of process in any such state or jurisdiction; and (b)
notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event any
jurisdiction in which the securities shall be qualified imposes a non-waivable

                                       14
<PAGE>

requirement that expenses incurred in connection with the qualification of the
securities be borne by selling shareholders, the expenses shall be payable pro
rata by the selling shareholders.

         7.7      Other Registration Rights. The Company and each Founder hereby
jointly represent and warrant to the Preferred Stock Holders that the Company
has not granted any rights to any shareholder or other person with respect to
the Registration of securities of the Company except for rights terminated under
Section 22.8. Without the consent of SAIF the Company shall not hereafter grant
any person any rights with respect to the Registration of securities of the
Company which are superior to or on a parity with the rights granted hereunder.

8.       Piggyback Registration.

         8.1.     Notice of Piggyback Registration and Inclusion of Registrable
Securities. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if the Company decides to
Register any of its Common Stock (either for its own account or the account of a
security holder or holders exercising their respective demand registration
rights (other than Holders exercising their demand rights pursuant to Section 7
of this Agreement)) (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of
securities to participants in a Company stock plan, a registration relating to a
corporate reorganization or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities
Act, a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same
information as would be required to be included in a registration statement
covering the sale of the Registrable Securities, or a registration in which the
only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
debt securities that are also being registered), the Company shall: (a) promptly
give each Holder written notice thereof (which shall include a list of the
jurisdictions in which the Company intends to attempt to qualify those
securities under the applicable Blue Sky or other securities laws); and (b)
include in that Registration (and any related qualification under Blue Sky laws
or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the
Registrable Securities specified in a written request delivered to the Company
by any Holder within 20 days after delivery of the written notice from the
Company. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any
registration initiated by it under this Section 8 prior to the effectiveness of
such Registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in
such registration.

         8.2.     Underwriting in Piggyback Registration.

                  (a)      Notice of Underwriting in Piggyback Registration. If
the Registration of which the Company gives notice is for a Registered public
offering, involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as
a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 8. In this event, the
right of any Holder to Registration shall be conditioned upon the underwriting
and the inclusion of that Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting,
to the extent provided in this Section 8. All Holders proposing to distribute
their securities through the underwriting shall (together with the Company and
the other holders distributing their securities through the underwriting) enter
into an underwriting agreement with the Underwriter's Representative for that
offering. The Holders shall have no right to participate in the selection of the
underwriters for an offering pursuant to this Section 8.

                  (b)      Marketing Limitation in Piggyback Registration. In
the event the Underwriter's Representative advises the Holders seeking
Registration of Registrable Securities

                                       15
<PAGE>

pursuant to this Section 8 in writing that market factors (including, without
limitation, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock requested to be
Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the persons
proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation
of the number of shares to be underwritten, the Underwriter's Representative
(subject to the allocation priority set forth in Section 8.2(c)) may:

                  (i)      in the case of the Company's initial Registered
         public offering, exclude some or all Registrable Securities from the
         Registration and underwriting; and

                  (ii)     in the case of any Registered public offering
         subsequent to the initial public offering, limit the number of shares
         of Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration and
         underwriting, to not less than 25% of the securities included in the
         Registration.

                  (c)      Allocation of Shares in Piggyback Registration. In
the event that the Underwriter's Representative limits the number of shares to
be included in a Registration pursuant to Section 8.2(b), the number of shares
to be included in the Registration shall be allocated among all other Holders
and other holders of securities (other than Registrable Securities) requesting
and legally entitled to include securities in that Registration, in the
following order of priority:

                  (i)      first, to the Company, to the extent it is offering
         shares for its own account; and

                  (ii)     next, to Holders requesting inclusion of Registrable
         Securities in the offering, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to
         the respective amounts of securities (including Registrable
         Securities), which such Holders would otherwise be entitled to include
         in the Registration; and

                  (iii)    next, to the other holders requesting inclusion of
         such securities in the offering, in proportion, as nearly as
         practicable to the respective amounts of securities which such other
         holders would otherwise be entitled to include in the Registration.

                  For any Registration subsequent to an initial public offering,
the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the Registration
and underwriting under Section 8.2(b)(ii) shall not be reduced to less than 25%
of the aggregate securities included in the Registration without the prior
consent of at least a majority of the Holders who have requested their
Registrable Securities be included in the Registration and underwriting. No
Registrable Securities or other securities excluded from the underwriting by
reason of this Section 8.2(c) shall be included in the Registration Statement.

                  (d)      Withdrawal in Piggyback Registration. If any Holder
disapproves of the terms of any underwriting, the Holder may elect to withdraw
therefrom by written notice to the Company and the Underwriter's Representative
delivered at least seven days prior to the effective date of the Registration
Statement. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn
from the underwriting shall be withdrawn from the Registration.

9.       Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in
connection with one Registration pursuant to Section 7.1 and unlimited
Registrations pursuant to Sections 7.2 and 8,

                                       16
<PAGE>

shall be borne by the Company, and the Company shall bear the reasonable fees of
a single counsel for the selling Shareholders in the Registrations. All
Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any other Registration,
qualification, or compliance, shall be apportioned among the Holders and other
holders, including the Company, of the securities so Registered on the basis of
the number of shares Registered. Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall
not be required to pay for any expenses of any Registration proceeding begun
pursuant to Section 7 if the Registration request is subsequently withdrawn at
the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be
Registered (which Holders shall bear those expenses), unless the Holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one
corresponding Registration pursuant to Section 7. All Selling Expenses shall be
borne by the holders of the securities Registered pro rata on the basis of the
number of shares Registered.

10.      Termination of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to
Register securities granted under Sections 7 and 8 of the Qualified IPO and to
receive notices pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, shall terminate, with
respect to each Holder on the earlier of: (a) the date six years after the date
of this Agreement; (b) after a Qualified IPO or the Company's initial public
offering of securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, upon that Holder
holding less than 1% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, and (c)
with respect to each Holder, if that Holder is eligible to sell all of that
Holder's Registrable Securities either (i) under Rule 144 within any three-month
period without volume limitations, or (ii) under Rule 144(k), or (iii) with
respect to each Holder's right with respect to Registration of Registrable
Securities in any jurisdiction other than the United States, if that Holder is
eligible to sell all of its Registrable Securities under a provision of that
jurisdiction's securities laws comparable to Rule 144 or 144(k).

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

                  (a)      Prepare and file with the Commission (or comparable
regulatory agency for a Registration in a jurisdiction other than the United
States) a Registration Statement with respect to those Registrable Securities
and use its best efforts to cause that Registration Statement to become
effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities Registered thereunder, keep the Registration Statement effective for
up to 180 days, or if earlier, until the distribution contemplated by the
Registration has been completed;

                  (b)      Prepare and file with the Commission (or comparable
regulatory agency for a Registration in a jurisdiction other than the United
States), amendments and supplements to that Registration Statement and the
prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be
necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act (or other
applicable law in a jurisdiction other than the United States) with respect to
the disposition of all securities covered by the Registration Statement;

                  (c)      Furnish to the Holders the number of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, required by the Securities Act
(or other applicable law in a jurisdiction other than the United States), and
any other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the
disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them;

                                       17
<PAGE>

                  (d)      Otherwise use its best efforts to comply with the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act and any other applicable rules and regulations
of the Commission, and make available to the securities holders, as soon as
reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least 12
months after the effective date of such Registration Statement, which earnings
statement shall satisfy Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and any applicable
regulations thereunder, including Rule 158;

                  (e)      Use its best efforts to Register and qualify the
securities covered by the Registration Statement under the securities or Blue
Sky laws of any other jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the
Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do
business or file a general consent to service of process in any such states or
jurisdictions, and provided further that in the event any jurisdiction in which
the securities shall be qualified imposes a non-waivable requirement that
expenses incurred in connection with the qualification of the securities be
borne by selling shareholders, those expenses shall be payable pro rata by
selling shareholders;

                  (f)      Appoint a qualified independent underwriter, if
necessary under the circumstances or if reasonably requested by the Holders of
more than 50% of the Registrable Securities in any registration made pursuant to
the terms hereof;

                  (g)      In the event of any underwritten public offering,
enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual
and customary form, with the managing underwriter of the offering. Each Holder
participating in the underwriting shall also enter into and perform its
obligations under such an agreement;

                  (h)      Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered
by the Registration Statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event
as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as
then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then
existing;

                  (i)      Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all
Registrable Securities Registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and a
CUSIP number for all those Registrable Securities, in each case not later than
the effective date of the Registration;

                  (j)      Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting
Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, on the date
that Registrable Securities are delivered for sale in connection with a
Registration pursuant to this Agreement, (i) an opinion, dated the date of the
sale, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of the
Registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in
an underwritten public offering, and (ii) a "comfort" letter dated the date of
the sale, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in
form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public
accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably
satisfactory to a majority in interests of the Holders requesting Registration,
addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to Holders requesting Registration of
Registrable Securities; and

                                       18
<PAGE>

                  (k)      Take all reasonable action necessary to list the
Registrable Securities on the primary exchange upon which the Company's
securities are then traded.

12.      Information Furnished by Holder. It shall be a condition precedent of
the Company's obligations under this Agreement that each Holder of Registrable
Securities included in any Registration furnish to the Company information
regarding the Holder and the distribution proposed by the Holder as the Company
may reasonably request.

13.      Indemnification.

         13.1.    Company's Indemnification of Holders. To the extent permitted
by law, the Company shall indemnify each Holder, each of its officers,
directors, and constituent partners, legal counsel for the Holders, and each
person controlling that Holder, with respect to which Registration,
qualification, or compliance of Registrable Securities has been effected
pursuant to this Agreement, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who
controls any underwriter against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, or
actions in respect thereof (collectively, "DAMAGES") to the extent the Damages
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement (or alleged untrue
statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus or other document
(including any related Registration Statement) incident to any Registration,
qualification, or compliance, or are based on any omission (or alleged omission)
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of
any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, Exchange Act,
applicable Blue Sky laws, or other applicable laws in the jurisdiction other
than the United States in which the Registration occurred, applicable to the
Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection
with any Registration, qualification, or compliance, and the Company shall
reimburse each Holder, each underwriter, and each person who controls any Holder
or underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage,
liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this
Section 13.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Damages if
settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall
not unreasonably be withheld); and provided, further, that the Company will not
be liable in any case to the extent that any Damages arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished
to the Company by a Holder, underwriter, or controlling person and stated to be
for use in connection with the offering of securities of the Company.

         13.2.    Holder's Indemnification of Company. To the extent permitted
by law, each Holder shall, if Registrable Securities held by that Holder are
included in the securities as to which Registration, qualification or,
compliance is being effected pursuant to this Agreement, indemnify the Company,
each of its directors and officers, each legal counsel and independent
accountant of the Company, each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities
covered by the Registration Statement, each person who controls the Company or
underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each other Holder,
each of its officers, directors, and constituent partners, and each person
controlling the other Holder, against all Damages arising out of or based upon
any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained
in any Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular, or other document,
or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements

                                       19
<PAGE>

therein not misleading, or any violation by the Holder of any rule or regulation
promulgated under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, applicable Blue Sky laws, or
other applicable laws in the jurisdiction other than the United States in which
the Registration occurred, applicable to the Holder and relating to action or
inaction required of the Holder in connection with any Registration,
qualification, or compliance, and shall reimburse the Company, those Holders,
directors, officers, partners, persons, law and accounting firms, underwriters
or control persons for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with investigating or defending any claim, loss, damage, liability,
or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that the untrue
statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is
made in that Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular, or other
document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to the Company by that Holder and stated to be specifically for use in
connection with the offering of securities of the Company, provided, however,
that the indemnity contained in this Section 13.2 shall not apply to amounts
paid in settlement of any Damages if settlement is effected without the consent
of that Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and provided,
further, that each Holder's liability under this Section 13.2 shall not exceed
the Holder's proceeds (less underwriting discounts and selling commissions) from
the offering of securities made in connection with that Registration.

                  Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 13.2 shall be
several, and not joint and several, among the Holders whose Registrable
Securities are included in the Registration.

         13.3     Condition to Indemnity. The foregoing indemnity agreements of
the Company and the Holders are subject to the condition that, insofar as they
relate to any violation made in a preliminary prospectus but eliminated or
remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the Commission at the time the
Registration Statement in question becomes effective or the amended prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (the "FINAL PROSPECTUS"), such
indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any person if a copy of
the Final Prospectus was furnished to the indemnified party and was not
furnished to the person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or
prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act.

         13.4.    Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party under this Section 13 of notice of the commencement of any
action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim is to be made against an
indemnifying party under this Section 13, notify the indemnifying party in
writing, of the commencement thereof and generally summarize the action. The
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and to assume the
defense of that claim; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to select counsel for the defense of the claim with the approval of any
parties entitled to indemnification, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld; provided further, however, that if either party reasonably determines
that there may be a conflict between the position of the Company and the
Shareholders in conducting the defense of the action, suit, or proceeding by
reason of recognized claims for indemnity under this Section 13, then counsel
for that party shall be entitled to conduct the defense to the extent reasonably
determined by counsel to be necessary to protect the interests of that party.
The failure to notify an indemnifying party promptly of the commencement of any
action, if prejudicial to the ability of the indemnifying party to defend the
action, shall relieve the indemnifying party, to the extent so prejudiced, of
any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 13, but the omission
to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the party of any liability
that the party may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this
Section 13.

                                       20
<PAGE>

         13.5.    Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 13 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an
indemnified party with respect to any Damages, then the indemnifying party, in
lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of those Damages in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other
hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in Damages as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the indemnifying or the indemnified party and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent
the statement or omission. No Holder will be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the net proceeds received from the sale of all such Registrable
Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such Registration
Statement; and no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to
contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.

         13.6.    Conflicts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that
provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting
agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are
in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting
agreement shall control; provided however, that the provision in any such
underwriting agreement pertaining to indemnification and contribution will be
(i) substantially similar to those contained herein, or (ii) typical of such
provisions found in underwriting agreements of companies similarly situated to
the Company.

         13.7.    Survival of Obligations. The obligations of the Company and
Holders under this Section 13 shall survive the completion of any offering of
Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement under this Agreement or
otherwise. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which admits fault of behalf
of the indemnified party or which does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a
release from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation.

14.      Lock-Up. Each Holder and the Founder hereby agrees that, if requested
by the Company and the Underwriter's Representative (if any) in connection with
the Company's initial public offering, the Holder shall not sell, make any short
sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, pledge, charge or otherwise
transfer or dispose of any Registrable Securities or other securities of the
Company without the prior written consent of the Company and the Underwriter's
Representative for such period of time (not to exceed 6 months) following the
effective date of a Registration Statement of the Company filed under the
Securities Act (or other applicable law in a jurisdiction other than the United
States in which a Registration occurred) as may be requested by the
Underwriter's Representative and pursuant to any regulations or rules of the
stock exchange on which shares of the Company or Listco are listed. The
obligations of Holders under this Section 14 shall be conditioned upon similar
agreements being in effect with each other shareholder who is an officer,
director, or 5% shareholder of the Company. The Company shall not release any of
the

                                       21
<PAGE>

shareholders who is an officer, director, or 5% shareholder of the Company from
the lock-up without first releasing the Holders.

15.      No-Action Letter or Opinion of Counsel in Lieu of Registration;
Conversion of Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement,
if: (a) the Company obtains from the Commission (or comparable regulatory agency
in lieu of Registration in a jurisdiction other than the United States) a
"no-action" letter in which the Commission or such comparable regulatory agency
has indicated that it will take no action if, without Registration under the
Securities Act or comparable law, any Holder disposes of Registrable Securities
covered by any request for Registration made under Section 7 of this Agreement
in the specific manner in which the Holder proposes to dispose of Registrable
Securities included in that request (such as including, without limitation,
inclusion of the Registrable Securities in an underwriting initiated by either
the Company or the Holders) and that the Registrable Securities may be sold to
the public without Registration in accordance with an established procedure or
Rule-based "safe harbor" without unreasonable legal risk or uncertainty; or (b)
in the opinion of counsel retained by the Company concurred in by counsel for
the Holder, which concurrence shall not be unreasonably withheld, no
Registration under the Securities Act (or other applicable law) is required in
connection with the disposition and that the Registrable Securities may be sold
to the public without Registration, then the Registrable Securities included in
the request shall not be eligible for Registration under this Agreement. Any
Registrable Securities not so disposed of shall be eligible for Registration in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement with respect to other proposed
dispositions to which this Section 15 does not apply. The Registration rights of
the Holders of Registrable Securities set forth in this Agreement are
conditioned upon the conversion of the Registrable Securities with respect to
which Registration is sought into Common Stock prior to the effective date of
the Registration Statement.

16.      Reports Under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to
Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any
other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder
to sell securities of the Company to the public without Registration or pursuant
to a Registration on Form F-3, the Company agrees to:

                  (a)      make and keep public information available, as those
terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after 90 days after
the effective date of the first Registration Statement filed by the Company for
the offering of its securities to the public;

                  (b)      take all action, including the voluntary Registration
of its Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, necessary to enable
the Holders to utilize Form F-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities,
such action to be taken as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year
in which the first Registration Statement filed by the Company for the offering
of its securities to the general public is declared effective;

                  (c)      file with the Commission in a timely manner all
reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act;

                  (d)      furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any
Registrable Securities, promptly upon request (i) a written statement by the
Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any
time after 90 days after the effective date of the first

                                       22
<PAGE>

Registration Statement filed by the Company), the Securities Act, and the
Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to those reporting
requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be
resold pursuant to Form F-3 (at any time after it so qualifies); (ii) a copy of
the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and any other reports
and documents filed by the Company; and (iii) any other information as may be
reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the
Commission which permits the selling of any securities without Registration or
pursuant to that form; and

                  (e)      for a Registration in a jurisdiction other than the
United States, take actions similar to those set forth in paragraphs (a), (b),
(c) and (d) of this Section 17 with a view to making available to Holders the
benefits of the corresponding provision or provisions of that jurisdiction's
securities laws.

17.      Transfer of Rights. The rights under Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8 may
be assigned by any Investor to a transferee or assignee of any Preferred Stock
or Registrable Securities. Each of the Founder Holding Companies and SAIF agrees
that in the event that it transfers any Stock in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, it shall procure that the transferees of its stock to execute a
deed of adherence to this Agreement.

18.      Legend; Stop Transfer Instructions.

         18.1.    Legend. Each certificate representing shares or securities now
or hereafter owned by the Founder Holding Companies, the Investors and any
transferee of such shares and securities and the members register of the Company
shall be endorsed with the following legend:

                  "THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES

                  CONDITIONS OF A SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE
                  HOLDER HEREOF, THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN OTHER SHAREHOLDERS OF
                  THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON
                  WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY."

         18.2.    Stop Transfer Instructions. The Parties hereto agree that the
Company may instruct its transfer agent to impose transfer restrictions on the
shares represented by certificates bearing the legend referred to in Section
18.1 to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, and the Company agrees
promptly to do so. The legend shall be removed upon termination of this
Agreement.
