Act or an exemption from such registration is available, and that such Purchased Securities may be transferred only in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement. 
 (b) Such Purchaser understands that the purchase of the Purchased Securities involves substantial risk and that its financial condition and investments are such that it is in a financial position to hold the Purchased
Securities for an indefinite period of time and to bear the economic risk of, and withstand a complete loss of its investment in, the Purchased Securities. In addition, by virtue of its expertise, the advice available to it and previous investment
experience, such Purchaser has extensive knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, investments, securities and private placements and the capability to evaluate the merits and risks of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. Such Purchaser represents that it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

(iv) represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Purchased Securities, including (w) the legal requirements of
the jurisdiction of its organization for the purchase of Purchased Securities, (x) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (y) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (z) the income
tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Purchased Securities, and (iii) represents that its subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of
the Purchased Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. 
 (d) In addition
to any legend described above, such Purchaser understands that the certificates evidencing the Purchased Securities may bear a legend as set forth in the Shareholders Agreement. 
 (e) Such Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the
Purchased Securities and the business, management, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company. 
 (f) Such Purchaser
understands that the Purchased Securities it is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act laws because they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and
that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold absent registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. Such Purchaser further understands that no public market now exists for any of the
securities issued by the Company and the Company has given no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Company’s securities.

 COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY AND THE
MANAGEMENT SHAREHOLDERS

Operating Company to, conduct its business only in the ordinary course of business as currently conducted and as proposed to be conducted, and otherwise in compliance with the Governing Documents and the Shareholders Agreement.

shall promptly notify the Purchasers in writing if the Company becomes aware of (a) any fact or condition that makes any Member of the Company Group’s representations and warranties untrue as of the date of this Agreement, (b) the
occurrence after the date of this Agreement of any fact or condition that would make any Member of the Company Group’s representations and warranties untrue had such representation or warranty been made as of the date of the occurrence of such
fact or condition, (c) any breach of any Member of the Company Group’s covenants in this Agreement, or (d) any fact or condition that could reasonably be expected to make the satisfaction of the conditions in Article 8 unlikely or
impossible. Should any such fact or condition require any change to the Disclosure Schedule, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Purchasers a supplement to the Disclosure Schedule specifying such change; provided, that such delivery shall not
affect any rights of the Purchasers hereunder. 
  

 15 








 Section 6.4 Reasonable Best Efforts 
 Each Member of the Company Group shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the conditions in Article 8 to be satisfied. 
 Section 6.5 Tax Matters 
 Without
limiting the rights of the Purchasers under Section 6.9 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, for so long as Blue Ridge China or EI holds at least 25% of the number of Common Shares purchased by it under this Agreement: 
 (a) the Company shall, and shall cause the WFOE and the Operating Companies and any other Subsidiaries to, promptly and timely make any tax elections
pursuant to the Code or any other applicable Law as may be required by the Purchasers in their sole discretion; 
 (b) prior to a Qualified
Public Offering, the Company shall not, without the written consent of the Purchaser, issue or transfer shares (or rights to acquire shares) in the Company, and shall use its reasonable best efforts (and the Management Shareholders shall use their
reasonable best efforts) to not permit issuances or transfers of shares or ownership interests (or rights to acquire ownership interests) in any Person who directly or indirectly owns shares in the Company, to any Person if following such issuance
or transfer the Company, in the determination of counsel or accountants for the Purchaser, would be a “Controlled Foreign Corporation” (a “CFC”) as defined in the Code with respect to the shares held by any Purchaser. No
later than two (2) months following the end of each Company taxable year, the Company shall provide the following information to the Purchasers: (i) the Company’s capitalization table as of the end of the last day of such taxable year
and (ii) a report regarding the Company’s status as a CFC. In addition, the Company shall provide the Purchasers with access to such other Company information as may be reasonably required by such Purchasers to determine the Company’s
status as a CFC, to determine whether each such Purchaser is required to report its pro rata portion of the Company’s “Subpart F income” (as defined in the Code) on its United States federal income tax return, or to allow such
Purchasers to otherwise comply with applicable United States federal income tax laws. In the event that the Company is determined by counsel or accountants for the Purchasers to be a CFC as defined in the Code (or any successor thereto) with respect
to the shares held by any Purchaser, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid generating for any taxable year in which the Company is a CFC, “subpart F income,” as such term is defined in Section 952 of the
Code; 
 (c) the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to avoid being a “passive foreign investment company”

determines in good faith to be appropriate), in consultation with its professional advisors, take such reasonable steps as necessary to determine whether the Company could reasonably be expected to be classified as a PFIC or whether there is a
material risk that it could be classified as a PFIC. The Company will promptly inform the Purchasers at any time that it determines that it could reasonably be expected to be so classified or there is a material risk thereof, and it will cooperate
with the Purchasers in taking such actions as required by the first sentence of this paragraph (c) to avoid 

  

 16 








 
being a PFIC. In connection with a “Qualified Electing Fund” election made by any Purchaser pursuant to Section 1295 of the Code (or any
successor thereto), the Company shall provide annual financial information to the Purchasers in a PFIC Annual Information Statement in such reasonable form as provided by the Purchasers and shall provide the Purchasers with access to such other
Company information as may be required for purposes of filing United States federal income tax returns in connection with such Qualified Electing Fund election; 
 (d) The representations, warranties and covenants in the forgoing paragraphs (b) and (c) shall be applicable with respect to each Subsidiary of the Company that would be classified as a corporation for U.S.
Federal income tax purposes, and the Company shall cause such Subsidiary to comply with the foregoing as if such Subsidiary (and not just the Company) were named in such paragraphs. The Company shall also obtain representations, warranties and
covenants from each entity in which it invests or has invested substantially to the effect of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the foregoing paragraphs and such additional representations, warranties and covenants as shall
be necessary to allow the Company to comply with the provisions of the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.5; and 
 (e) except to
the extent that the Purchasers elect otherwise, and only if requested by the Purchasers, the Company shall take such reasonable actions, including making an election to be treated as a corporation or refraining from making an election to be treated
as a partnership, as may be required to ensure that at all times the Company is treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes; 
 provided that, all third-party reasonable fees and expenses in excess of $20,000 per year associated with the Company complying with this Section 6.5 and with Section 6.9 of the Securities Purchase Agreement shall be borne by the
Purchasers. 
 Section 6.6 Foreign Exchange Settlement and Repatriation 
 Following the Closing Date and during the WFOE’s operational term, with such term to be approved by the Purchasers, the Company and Management
Shareholder shall cause the WFOE’s capital to be freely and timely converted from foreign exchange into RMB according to the business needs approved by the Purchasers and all of the WFOE’s profits to be freely and timely repatriated to the
Company.

transferred to newly formed wholly owned Subsidiaries of the WFOE in compliance with applicable Law. 
 Section 6.8 Revised 2007

managers, directors, employees and agents of each of the foregoing, from and against and in respect of any and all demands, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, interest and penalties, diminution in value
of securities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred in connection therewith and in seeking indemnification therefor, and any amounts or expenses required to be paid or incurred in
connection with any action, suit, proceeding, claim, appeal, demand, assessment or judgment) (collectively, “Losses”), resulting from, arising out of, or imposed upon or incurred by any Person to be indemnified hereunder by reason
of (i) any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company or the Management Shareholders contained in this Agreement or any agreement, certificate or document executed and delivered by the Company or any other
Member of the Company Group pursuant hereto or in connection with any of the Transactions or (ii) any matter set forth on Schedule II. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify the Purchasers under this Section 10.1 in excess of an aggregate amount of $15,000,000 (the “Company’s Indemnification
Cap”); provided, however, that the Company’s Indemnification Cap shall not apply to any Company indemnification obligations arising out of, relating to or resulting from fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Company or the
Management Shareholders. 
 Section 10.2 Procedures 
 Whenever a claim shall arise for indemnification under this Article 10, with the exception of claims for litigation expenses to be funded on an ongoing basis, the Person entitled to indemnification (the
“Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of such claim and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim. Failure of an
Indemnified Party to give reasonably prompt notice of any claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect an Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual loss
and prejudice as a result of such failure. In the event of any such claim for indemnification resulting from or in connection with a claim or legal proceeding by a third party, the Indemnifying Party may, at its sole cost and expense, elect by
notice to the Indemnified Party to assume the defense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party makes such election within 15 days after delivery of notice of claim from the Indemnified Party and agrees in writing 

  

 23 








 
to pay the full amount of such indemnification to the Indemnified Party. If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding,
the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to select counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and take all steps necessary in the settlement or defense thereof; provided, that no settlement shall be made without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party unless the settlement involves only payment of money damages by the Indemnifying Party and a release of the Indemnified Party from all liability. The Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, participate in any such proceeding
with the counsel of its choice. So long as the Indemnifying Party is in good faith defending such claim or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall not compromise or settle such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. If
the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim or litigation in accordance with the terms hereof, the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not
limited to, settling such claim or litigation (after giving notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party) on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the Indemnifying Party will promptly indemnify the Indemnified Party in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1. 
 Section 10.3 Survival; Right to Indemnification Not Affected by Knowledge

 All representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule, the certificate delivered pursuant
to Section 8.7, and any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Related Documents will survive for a period of three years following the Closing; provided, however, that all representations and
warranties made as of the date hereof by incorporation into this Agreement by reference pursuant to Section 4.17 of this Agreement that relate to Section 4.17 (Employment Matters) and Section 4.23 (Taxes) of the Securities Purchase
Agreement shall survive until 30 days after the expiration of the respective statute of limitations applicable thereto. The right to indemnification, payment of Losses or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with
respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with
any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Losses, or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements.

 This Agreement, together with the Related Documents, merges all previous negotiations and agreements among the parties hereto, either oral or written, and constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof and thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Related Documents referred to therein shall remain in full force and effect except to the extent expressly modified by this Agreement or the
Related Documents referred to herein. 
 Section 12.2 Amendments; Waivers 
 No amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid except by an agreement in writing executed by the parties hereto.
Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder (and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties) shall operate as a waiver of any such right,
power or privilege. No waiver of any default on any one occasion shall constitute a waiver of any subsequent or other default. No single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege shall preclude the further or full exercise thereof.

 Section 12.3 Severability 
 If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder
of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by Law, but only as long as the continued validity, legality and
enforceability of such provision or application does not materially (a) alter the terms of this Agreement, (b) diminish the benefits of this Agreement or (c) increase the burdens of this Agreement, for any Person. 
 Section 12.4 Assignment 
 The
rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned (by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior

long as such Purchaser remains liable for the performance of such Affiliate.

liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.
