Section 4.          Right
of First Offer

 

Section 4.1           Offering
Notice.

 

If, during the Proxy
Term, any Investor or its Controlled Affiliate (a “Selling Shareholder”) proposes to sell or transfer all or
any portion of the Remaining Shares held by it other than sale to such Selling Shareholders’ Affiliate or Bitauto, it must
first offer to sell or transfer (the “Offer”) such Subject Shares to Bitauto (the “Offeree”)
by serving a written offer notice (the “Offering Notice”) on it, which notice shall set forth:

 

(a)          the
number of Subject Shares proposed to be sold or transferred (the “Offered Shares”);

 

(b)          the
proposed sale price per Subject Share for the Offered Shares (the “Offer Price”); and

 

(c)          all
other material terms and conditions of the proposed sale or transfer.

 

Upon service of the Offering Notice, such Offer shall
be irrevocable.

 

Section 4.2           Option;
Exercise.

 

(a)     The
Offer shall be open for acceptance by the Offeree for a period of five (5) Business Days after the receipt by the Offeree of the
Offering Notice (the “Offer Period”), and the Offeree shall have the right to purchase all but not less than
all of the Offered Shares at a purchase price per Subject Share equal to the Offer Price and upon the same terms and conditions
set forth in the Offering Notice.

 

(b)    In the event
that the Offeree shall elect to accept the Offer to purchase all of the Offered Shares, the Offeree shall serve a written notice
on the Selling Shareholder to accept the Offered Shares that the Offeree is electing to purchase (“Sale Shares”).
Such notice shall be received or deemed received by the Selling Shareholder prior to midnight of the last Business Day of the Option
Period. The Offeree may designate one or more of its Affiliates to take up all of the Sale Shares under this Section 4, and, in
such an event, the provisions under this Section 4 shall apply mutatis mutandis to such Affiliates. If the Offeree fails
to give the Selling Shareholder the above notice within the Offer Period, the Offeree will be deemed to have given a notice that
it does not elect to purchase the Offered Shares.

 

    	

     

    

 

Section 4.3           Closing.

 

The closing of the
purchase of the Sale Shares (the “ROFO Closing”) shall take place at such time and place as agreed by the
Selling Shareholder and the Offeree but in any event no later than the seventh (7th) Business Day after receipt or deemed
receipt of the Offeree’s written notice under Section 4.2(b) by the Selling Shareholder (or such other time as mutually
consented to by the Selling Shareholder and the Offeree and such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). At the ROFO
Closing, the Selling Shareholder shall deliver such documents as required by the Offeree to transfer the legal and beneficial
interests in the Sale Shares purchased by the Offeree from the Selling Shareholder to the Offeree and/or the Offeree’s
designated Affiliates, including depositing the Sale Shares into an account of the relevant CCASS participant in accordance
with the Offeree’s directions, if applicable. The Offeree shall make at the ROFO Closing payment in full in immediately
available funds for the Sale Shares. At the ROFO Closing, all of the parties to the transaction shall execute such additional
documents as are otherwise necessary or appropriate to give effect to such sale or transfer.

 

Section 4.4           Sale
to a Third Party.

 

(a)     If the
Offeree does not elect to purchase the Offered Shares ( the “Unsold Shares”), the Selling Shareholder may offer
to sell the Unsold Shares to any third party at a price and on the terms and conditions no more favourable than those of the Offer
within sixty (60) Business Days after the ROFO Closing (if the Offeree has elected to purchase some of the Offered Shares) or after
the date on which the Offeree has expressly waived its right to purchase or has elected not to purchase any of the Offered Shares.
If the Selling Shareholder fails to complete such sale or transfer within the aforesaid period stipulated in the preceding sentence,
no sale or transfer of such Unsold Shares or any part thereof may be made thereafter by the Selling Shareholder without again first
offering the same to the Offerees in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.

 

(b)    During the Proxy
Term, any Investor or its Affiliate shall have the right to sell or otherwise transfer any Remaining Shares in accordance with
this Section 4 and applicable laws and rules. Without the prior consent from Bitauto, any Investor or its Affiliate shall not sell
or otherwise transfer any Subject Shares during the Proxy Term. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereunder, any shares of the
Company held by any Investor from time to time that are not Subject Shares or Remaining Shares, at any time including any shares
of the Company that the Investors and/or their Controlled Affiliates purchase or otherwise acquire after the Qualified IPO, shall
not be subject to any restrictions or undertakings in this Agreement.

Save for the lending
of shares pursuant to the stock borrowing agreement (as defined in the prospectus to be issued by the Company), during the term
of Proxy Term, without the prior written consent of the Investors, Bitauto shall not, and shall procure that its Controlled Affiliates
will not:

charge, sell, contract or agree to sell, mortgage, charge, pledge, hypothecate, lend, grant or sell any option, warrant, contract
or right to purchase, grant, or purchase any option, warrant, contract or right to sell, grant or agree to grant any option, right
or warrant to purchase or subscribe for, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of or create an encumbrance over, either directly
or indirectly, conditionally or unconditionally, the Lock-up Shares;

 

    	

     

    

 

(b)    enter into any
swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of subscription or ownership
(legal or beneficial) of the Lock-up Shares, or any interest therein;

 

(c)    enter into any
transaction with the same economic effect as any transaction described in paragraphs (a) or (b) above; or

 

(d)    offer to or
contract to or agree to announce, or publicly disclosure that it will or may enter into any such transaction described in paragraphs
(a), (b) or (c) above, whether any such transaction described in (a), (b) or (c) above is to be settled by delivery of the Lock-up
Shares, in cash or otherwise (whether or not the settlement or delivery of such Lock-up Shares will be completed within the term
