	1.	 	Retention and Duties.
	 
	1.1	 	Retention. The Company does hereby hire, engage and employ the Executive for the
Period of Employment (as defined in Section 2) on the terms and conditions expressly set forth
in this Agreement. The Executive does hereby accept and agree to such hiring, engagement and
employment, on the terms and conditions expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Executive

	1.2	 	Duties. During the Period of Employment, the Executive shall serve the Company as
its                      and shall have such powers, duties and obligations consistent with such
position as the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) shall determine from time
to time. The Executive shall be subject to such directives of the Board and the corporate
policies of the Company as they are in effect from time to time throughout the Period of
Employment (including, without limitation, the Company’s business conduct and ethics policies,
as they may change from time to time). During the Period of Employment, the Executive shall
report solely to the Board/Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

	1.3	 	No Other Employment; Minimum Time Commitment. During the Period of Employment, the
Executive shall both (i) devote substantially all of the Executive’s business time, energy and

	 	-1-
	 	Employment Agreement

 

	 	 	directors (or similar body) of other business entities is subject to the approval of the
Board. The Company shall have the right to require the Executive to resign from any board
or similar body which he may then serve if the Board reasonably determines in writing that
the Executive’s service on such board or body interferes with the effective discharge of the
Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the Company or that any business related to such
service is then in competition with any business of the Company or any of its affiliates,
successors or assigns.

	1.4	 	No Breach of Contract. The Executive hereby represents to the Company that: (i) the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Executive and the Company and the performance
by the Executive of the Executive’s duties hereunder shall not constitute a breach of, or
otherwise contravene, the terms of any other agreement or policy to which the Executive is a
party or otherwise bound; (ii) that the Executive has no information (including, without
limitation, confidential information and trade secrets) relating to any other person or entity
which would prevent, or be violated by, the Executive entering into this Agreement or carrying
out his duties hereunder; (iii) that the Executive is not bound by any confidentiality, trade
secret or similar agreement (other than this Agreement) with any other person or entity.
	 
	1.5	 	Location. The Executive acknowledges that the Company’s principal executive offices
are currently located in Shanghai, the People’s Republic of China. The Executive’s principal
place of employment shall be the Company’s principal executive offices. The Executive agrees
that he will be regularly present at the Company’s principal executive offices. The Executive
acknowledges that he may be required to travel from time to time in the course of performing
his duties for the Company.

automatically renewed, and the Period of Employment shall be automatically extended for one
(1) additional year on the Termination Date and each anniversary of the Termination Date
thereafter, unless either party gives notice, in writing, at least thirty (30) days prior to
the expiration of this Agreement and the Period of Employment (including any renewal thereof)
of such party’s desire to terminate the Agreement or modify its terms. The term “Period of
Employment” shall include any extension thereof pursuant to the preceding sentence. Provision
of notice that the Period of Employment shall not be extended or further extended, as the case
may be, shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement and shall not constitute “Constructive
Termination” for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Period of
Employment is subject to earlier termination as provided below in this Agreement.
	 
	3.	 	Compensation.
	 
	3.1	 	Base Salary. The Executive’s base salary (the “Base Salary”) during the

be at an annualized rate of RMB                     .
The Company will review the Executive’s Base Salary
at least annually. The Company will set the Executive’s rate of Base Salary for any portion
of the Period of Employment after the first twelve (12) months thereof.

expenses in carrying out the Executive’s duties for the Company under this Agreement and

Company.
	 
	5.	 	Termination.
	 
	5.1	 	Termination by the Company. The Executive’s employment by the Company, and the
Period of Employment, may be terminated at any time by the Company: (i) with Cause (as defined
in Section 5.5), or (ii) with no less than thirty (30) days advance notice to the Executive,
without Cause, or (iii) in the event of the Executive’s death, or (iv) in the event that the
Board determines in good faith that the Executive has a Disability (as defined in Section
5.5).

	5.2	 	Termination by the Executive. The Executive’s employment by the Company, and the
Period of Employment, may be terminated by the Executive with no less than thirty (30) days
advance notice to the Company; provided, however, that in the case of a
Constructive Termination (as defined herein), the Executive may provide immediate

	 	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	-3-
	 	Employment Agreement

 

	 	 	written notice if the Company fails to, or cannot, reasonably cure the event that gives rise
to the Constructive Termination.

	5.3	 	Benefits Upon Termination. If the Executive’s employment by the Company is
terminated during the Period of Employment for any reason by the Company or by the Executive,
or upon or following the expiration of the Period of Employment (in any case, the date that
the Executive’s employment by the Company terminates is referred to as the “Severance
Date”), the Company shall have no further obligation to make or provide to the Executive,
and the Executive shall have no further right to receive or obtain from the Company, any
payments or benefits except as follows:

	 	 	(a) The Company shall pay the Executive (or, in the event of his death, the Executive’s
estate) any Accrued Obligations (as defined in Section 5.5);
	 
	 	 	(b) If, during the Period of Employment, the Executive’s employment with the Company
terminates as a result of an Involuntary Termination (as defined in Section 5.5), the
Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits:

	 	 	 	     (i) The Company shall pay the Executive (in addition to the Accrued
Obligations), subject to tax withholding and other authorized deductions, an amount
equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Executive’s annualized Base Salary (as in
effect immediately prior to the termination of the Executive’s employment). Such
amount is referred to hereinafter as the “Severance Benefit.” The Company
shall pay the Severance Benefit to the Executive in equal installments on a
bi-weekly basis over a period of twelve (12) months following the Severance Date
(the “Severance Period”).
	 
	 	 	 	     (ii) During the Severance Period, the Company shall continue to make available
to the Executive and the Executive’s spouse and dependents covered under any group
health plans or life insurance plans of the Company on the Severance Date, all group
health, life and other similar insurance plans in which Executive or such spouse or
dependents participate on the Severance Date at the same cost to the Executive as
the Executive paid for such benefits prior to such date. To the extent that the
Company cannot continue to provide such benefits, it will pay the Executive an
amount that would be sufficient to enable the Executive to purchase substantially
the same level of such benefits from a third party at the same cost to the Executive
as the Executive paid for such benefits immediately prior to the Severance Date.

	 	 	(c) If a Change of Control (as defined herein) occurs at any time during the Period of
Employment, the vesting of each outstanding option, restricted stock award or other
stock-based award granted by the Company to the Executive shall be automatically accelerated
so that such award shall be vested in full as of the date of such Change of Control.

	 	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3, if the Executive breaches his
obligations under Section 6 of this Agreement at any time, from and after the date of

	 	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	-4-
	 	Employment Agreement

 

	 	 	such breach, (i) the Executive will no longer be entitled to, and the Company will no longer
be obligated to pay, any remaining unpaid portion of the Severance Benefit, and (ii) the
Executive will no longer be entitled to, and the Company will no longer be obligated to make
available to Executive or Executive’s spouse or dependents any group health, life or other
similar insurance plans or any payment in respect of such plans.

	 	 	The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3 shall not affect: (i) the Executive’s receipt
of benefits otherwise due terminated employees consistent with the terms of the applicable
Company welfare benefit plan or applicable law.

	5.4	 	Exclusive Remedy. The Executive agrees that the payments contemplated by Section 5.3
(and any applicable acceleration of vesting of an equity-based award in accordance with the
terms of such award in connection with the termination of the Executive’s employment) shall
constitute the exclusive and sole remedy for any termination of his employment and the
Executive covenants not to assert or pursue any other remedies, at law or in equity, with
respect to any termination of employment. The Company and Executive acknowledge and agree
that there is no duty of the Executive to mitigate damages under this Agreement. All amounts
paid to the Executive pursuant to Section 5.3 shall be paid without regard to whether the
Executive has taken or takes actions to mitigate damages.

the Company or the Company Group is ineffective for any reason, each member of the Company
Group is hereby granted and shall have a royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable,
irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license to make, have made, modify, use, and sell such
Inventions as part of or in connection with any product, process or machine. Such exclusive
license shall continue in effect for the maximum term as may now or hereafter be permissible
under applicable law. Upon expiration, such license, without further consent or action on
the Executive’s part, shall automatically be renewed for the maximum term as is then
permissible under applicable law, unless, within the six-month period prior to such
expiration, the Company and the Executive have agreed that such license will not be renewed.
The Executive also hereby forever waives and agrees never to assert any and all rights he or
she may have in or with respect to any Inventions even after termination of his or her
employment with the Company. The Executive hereby further acknowledges that all Inventions
created by him or her (solely or jointly with others) are, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, “works made for hire” or “inventions made for hire,” as those terms are
defined in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) Copyright Law, the PRC Patent Law
and the Regulations on Computer Software Protection, respectively, and all titles, rights
and interests in or to such Inventions are or shall be vested in the Company.

Executive pursuant to this Agreement with the Company includes any bonuses or remuneration
which the Executive may be entitled to under applicable PRC law for any “works made for
hire,” “inventions made for hire” or other Inventions assigned to the Company pursuant to
this Agreement.
	 
	 	 	(d) Maintenance of Records. The Executive hereby agrees to keep and maintain
adequate and current written records of all Inventions. The records will be in the form of

perfect any grant or assignment by the Executive of the Inventions hereunder and to perfect,
obtain, maintain, enforce and defend any rights so granted or assigned, including the disclosure to
the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all
applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments which the Company shall
deem necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and convey to
the Company, its successors,

	 	Employment Agreement

 

	 	 	assigns and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such
Inventions. The Executive hereby further agrees that his or her obligations to execute or
cause to be executed, when it is in his or her power to do so, any such instrument or papers
shall continue after the termination of this Agreement. The Executive hereby irrevocably
designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as the
Executive’s agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in the Executive’s behalf and stead
to execute and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to
further the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Executive.
	 
	6.3	 	Conflicting Employment. The Executive hereby agrees that, during the term of his or
her employment with the Company, he or she will not engage in any other employment,
occupation, consulting or other business activity related to the business in which the Company
Group is now involved or becomes involved during the term of the Executive’s employment, nor
will the Executive engage in any other activities that conflict with his or her obligations to
the Company without the prior written consent of the Company.
	 
	6.4	 	Non-Competition.
	 
	 	 	(a) The Executive hereby agrees that during the course of his or her employment and for a
period of two (2) years immediately following the termination of his or her relationship
with the Company for any reason, whether with or without good cause or for any or no cause,
at the option either of the Company or his or herself, with or without notice, the Executive
will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, (i) serve as a partner,
employee, consultant, officer, director, manager, agent, associate, investor, or otherwise
for, or lend his or her name (or any part, variant or formative thereof), (ii) directly or
indirectly, own, purchase, organize or take preparatory steps for the organization of, (iii)
build, design, finance, acquire, lease, operate, manage, invest in, work or consult for or
otherwise affiliate himself or herself with, any business, in competition with or otherwise
similar to the business of the Company Group, (iv) deal, directly or indirectly, in a
competitive manner with any customers doing business with the Company Group, or (v)
transfer, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate, give, create a security interest in or lien on,
place in trust (voting or otherwise), or in any other way dispose of any equity interest in
the Company Group beneficially owned by the Executive, as the case may be, to any person
which is competitive with any significant aspect of the business of the Company Group. The
foregoing covenant shall cover the Executive’s activities in every part of the Territory in
which he or she may conduct business during the term of such covenant as set forth above.
“Territory” shall mean (i) the People’s Republic of China (for the avoidance of
doubt, including Hong Kong, Macau and the islands of Taiwan), (ii) Singapore, (iii) the
United States of America, and (iv) all other countries of the world; provided that, with
respect to clauses (iii) and (iv) of this Section 6.4(a), the Company derives at least five
percent (5%) of its gross revenues from such geographic area prior to the date of the
termination of the Executive’s relationship with the Company.

the obligations contained in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, his or her
obligation neither to disclose nor to use the Confidential Information of the Company Group

compete contained in subsection (a) above, is necessary to protect the Confidential
Information of the Company Group and, consequently, to preserve the value and goodwill of
the Company Group. The Executive hereby further acknowledges the time, geographic and scope
limitations of his or her obligations under subsection (a) above are reasonable, especially
in light of the Company Group’s desire to protect their Confidential Information, and that
the Executive will not be precluded from gainful employment if he or she is obligated not to
compete with the Company Group during the period and within the Territory as described
above.
	 
	 	 	(c) The covenants contained in subsection (a) above shall be construed as a series of
separate covenants, one for each city, county and state of any geographic area in the
Territory. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed
identical in terms to the covenant contained in subsection (a) above. If, in any arbitration
proceeding, the arbitration panel refuses to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any
part thereof), then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from this
agreement to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions
thereof) to be enforced. In the event the provisions of subsection (a) above are deemed to
exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable law, then such
provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic or scope limitations, as the
case may be, then permitted by such law.
	 
	 	 	(d) The Executive hereby further agrees that he or she will be compensated by the Company in
the total amount equal to the greater of (i) one month’s salary or (ii) the minimum amount
of compensation required by applicable law (hereinafter referred to as the
“Compensation”) upon the termination of his or her employment with the Company for
the covenants that the Executive makes in this Section 6.4. The Compensation will be paid by
four installments, of which the first installment equal to 1/4 of the total amount of the
Compensation will be paid within three months after the employment is terminated and each of
the other three installments equal to 1/4 of the total amount of the Compensation will be
paid per three months thereafter.

the Company, The Executive hereby grants consent to notification by the Company to his or her
new employer about his or her rights and obligations under this Agreement.
	 
	6.6	 	Non-Solicitation. The Executive hereby agrees that for a period of two (2) years
immediately following the termination of his or her relationship with the Company for any
reason, whether with or without cause, he or she shall not either directly or indirectly
solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any employees of the Company Group to leave their
employment, or take away such employees, or attempt to solicit, induce, recruit, encourage or
