2.                                      DEMAND
REGISTRATION

 

2.1                                 Registration Other Than on Form F-3.  Subject to any
lock-up period applicable to the Company or Rebro, at any time after the
closing of the IPO, a Holder may request the Company in writing to prepare and
file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the distribution by
way of underwritten public offering of Registrable Securities then owned by
such Holder, for which the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the
public, net of Selling Expenses, would be at least US$10 million.  Upon receipt of such a request, the Company
shall (a) promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration to all
other Holders (if any) and (b) use its reasonable best efforts to cause
the Registrable Securities specified in the request, together with any
Registrable Securities of any Holder who requests in writing to join such
Registration within fifteen (15) days after the Company’s delivery of written
notice, to be Registered and/or qualified

 

4

 

for
sale and distribution in such jurisdictions as the Initiating Holder(s) may
reasonably request within three (3) months upon the initial filing of such
Registration with the Commission.  The
Company shall be obligated to effect no more than two (2) Registrations
pursuant to this Clause 2.1.

 

2.2                                 Registration on Form F-3.  Subject to any lock-up period applicable to
the Company or Rebro, at any time, and from time to time, after the closing
date of  an IPO, a Holder may request the
Company in writing to file a Registration Statement on Form F-3 (or any
successor form to Form F-3, or any comparable form for Registration in a
jurisdiction other than the United States) for a public offering of Registrable
Securities for which the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public,
net of Selling Expenses, would be at least US$5 million, insofar as the Company
is entitled to use Form F-3 or a comparable form to Register the requested
Registrable Securities.  Upon receipt of
such a request, the Company shall (i) promptly give written notice of the
proposed Registration to all other Holders (if any) and (ii) use its
reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities specified in the
request, together with any Registrable Securities of any Holder who requests in
writing to join such Registration within fifteen (15) days after the Company’s
delivery of written notice, to be Registered and qualified for sale and
distribution in such jurisdictions as the Initiating Holder(s) may
reasonably request within three (3) months upon the initial filing of such
Registration with the Commission. 
Registrations on Form F-3 shall not been deemed to be demand
registrations as described in Clause 2.1 above.  The Company shall be obligated to effect no
more than two (2) Registrations on Form F-3 pursuant to this Clause
2.2.

 

2.3                                 Right of Deferral.

 

(a)                                  The Company shall not be obligated to Register or qualify Registrable
Securities pursuant to this Clause 2, if:

 

(i)                                     during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the
Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on one
hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of, a Company-initiated
Registration with the Commission (other than a Registration of securities in a
transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act 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 as
soon as practicable;

 

(ii)                                  the receipt of any request of any Holder to Register any Registrable
Securities pursuant to Clause 2 is within six (6) 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 transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act or with
respect to an employee benefit plan); or

 

(iii)                               in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to
execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such Registration,
unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and
except as may be required under the Securities Act.

 

5

 

(b)                                 If, after receiving a request from Holders pursuant to Clause 2.1
or Clause 2.2 hereof, the Company furnishes to the Holders a certificate
signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that, in the good
faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously and materially detrimental
to the Company or its shareholders for a Registration Statement to be filed in
the near future, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for
a period during which such filing would be seriously detrimental, provided that
such deferral by the Company shall not exceed ninety (90) days from the receipt
of any request duly submitted by Holders under Clause 2.1 or Clause
2.2 to Register Registrable Securities; provided, however,
that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12)
month period.  A demand right under this Clause
2 shall not be deemed to have been exercised until such deferred
Registration shall have been effected.

 

2.4                                 Underwritten Offerings.  With respect to any demand registration which
shall relate to an underwritten public offering pursuant to Clause 2.1 above or
any demand registration which relates to an underwritten public offering  pursuant to Clause 2.2 above, the underwriter or underwriters shall be selected by the Company,
subject to consultation with and the approval of the Initiating Holders
representing a majority in voting power on a fully-diluted basis, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, if the managing underwriter advises the Company that marketing
factors require a limitation of the number of Equity Securities to be
underwritten, the underwriters may exclude such number of Registrable
Securities from the underwriting as required after excluding any other Equity
Securities (including, without limitation, any Equity Securities which the
Company may seek to include in the underwriting for its own account and all
Equity Securities that are not Registrable Securities and held by persons other
than Holders) from the underwriting.  If
a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities is required pursuant to
this Clause 2.4, the number of Registrable Securities that may be
included in the underwriting by selling Holders shall be allocated among such
Holders, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of
Registrable Securities which the Holders would otherwise be entitled to include
in the Registration. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such
underwriting shall be withdrawn from the Registration.

 

3.                                      PIGGYBACK
REGISTRATION

 

3.1                                 Registration of the Company’s Securities.   Subject to Clause
3.3, if the Company proposes to Register any Equity Securities for its own
account or for the account of any Person that is not a Holder, then in
connection with the public offering of such securities, the Company shall
promptly give each Holder written notice of such Registration and, upon the
written request of Rebro given within five (5) days after delivery of such
notice, the Company shall use
its best efforts to include in such Registration any Registrable Securities
thereby requested by such Holder.  If a
Holder decides not to include all or any of its Registrable Securities in such
Registration by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have
the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent Registration
Statement or Registration Statements as may be filed by the Company with
respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set
forth herein.

 

3.2                                 Right to Terminate Registration.  The Company shall have the right to terminate
or withdraw any Registration initiated by it under Clause 3.1 prior to
the effectiveness of such Registration,

 

6

 

whether
or not any Holder has elected to participate therein.  The expenses of such withdrawn Registration
shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Clause 4.3.

 

3.3                                 Underwriting Requirements.

 

(a)                                  In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of the Company’s
Equity Securities, the Company shall not be required to Register the
Registrable Securities of a Holder under this Clause 3 unless such
Holder’s Registrable Securities are included in the underwriting and such
Holder enters into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
underwriters selected by the Company and setting forth such terms for the
underwriting as have been agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters.  In the event the underwriters advise Holders
seeking Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Clause 3
in writing that market factors require a limitation of the number of Equity
Securities to be underwritten, the underwriters may exclude some or all Registrable
Securities from the Registration and underwriting after excluding any other
Equity Securities (including, without limitation, all Equity Securities that
are not Registrable Securities and held by persons other than Holders) from the
underwriting, and the number of Equity Securities and Registrable Securities
that may be included in the Registration and the underwriting shall be
allocated (i) first, to the Company,  (ii) second, among the Holders
requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such Registration
Statement in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of
Registrable Securities which the Holders would otherwise be entitled to include
in the Registration and (iii) third, to any other shareholder other
than a Holder on a pro rata basis.

 

(b)                                 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
underwriters delivered at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the
effective date of the Registration Statement. 
Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from the underwriting
shall be withdrawn from the Registration.

 

3.4                                 Exempt Transactions.  The Company shall have no obligation to
Register any Registrable Securities under this Clause 3 in connection
with a Registration by the Company (i) relating solely to the sale of
securities to participants in a Company equity incentive plan,
(ii) relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction under Rule 145
of the Securities Act (or comparable provision under the laws of another
jurisdiction, as applicable), or (iii) 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.

 

4.                                      PROCEDURES

 

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

 

(a)                                  Prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with
respect to those Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause that
Registration Statement to become effective, and, to remain effective for a
period of time required for the disposition

 

7

 

of
such Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof but not to exceed ninety
(90) days, provided, however, that such ninety (90)-day period shall be
extended for a period of time equal to the period any Holder is refrained from
selling any securities included in such Registration at the request of the
underwriter(s);

 

(b)                                 Prepare and file with the Commission amendments and supplements to that

Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of
Applicable Securities Law 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 Applicable Securities Law, and any other
documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition
of Registrable Securities owned by them;

 

(d)                                 Use its reasonable best efforts to Register and qualify the securities
covered by the Registration Statement under the securities laws of any
jurisdiction, as reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company
shall not be required to qualify to do business in any such jurisdictions,
except as may be required under the Securities Act;

 

(e)                                  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 underwriters of the offering. 
Each shareholder participating in the underwriting shall also enter into
and perform its obligations under such an agreement;

 

(f)                                    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 Applicable Securities Law or of the happening of any event as a
result of which any 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;

 

(g)                                 Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities Registered
pursuant to the Registration Statement and, where applicable, a number assigned
by the Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures for all those
Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of the
Registration;

 

(h)                                 Use reasonable best efforts to furnish, at the request of any Holder
requesting Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement,
on the date that such 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,
addressed to the underwriters;

 

(i)                                     Take all reasonable action necessary to list the Registrable Securities
on the primary exchange upon which the Company’s securities are traded or, in
connection with an IPO, the primary exchange upon which the Company’s
securities will be traded; and

 

8

 

(j)                                     Make its officers and management team available for investor road shows
and other meetings as deemed necessary by the Holders or the underwriters.

 

4.2                                 Information from Holder.  It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement with
respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder
shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such
securities as shall be required to effect the Registration of such Holder’s
Registrable Securities.

 

4.3                                 Expenses of Registration.  All expenses, other than the underwriting
discounts and selling commissions (which shall be borne by the Holders
requesting Registration on a pro rata basis in proportion to their respective
numbers of Registrable Securities sold in such Registration) applicable to the
sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, incurred in
connection with Registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this
Agreement, including (without limitation) all Registration, filing and
qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Company, shall be borne by the Company.  The Company shall not, however, be required to
pay for any expenses of any Registration proceeding begun pursuant to this
Agreement if the Registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request
of a majority-in-interest of the Holders requesting such Registration (in which
case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the
number of Registrable Securities that were to be thereby Registered in the
withdrawn Registration).

 

4.4                                 Delay of Registration.  No Holder shall have any right to obtain or
seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any Registration as the
result of any controversy that may arise with respect to the interpretation or
implementation of this Agreement.

 

5.                                      INDEMNIFICATION

 

5.1                                 Company
Indemnity.

 

(a)                                  To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold
harmless each Holder, such Holder’s officers, directors, shareholders, members,
partners, legal counsel and accountants, any underwriter (as defined in the
Securities Act) for such Holder and each Person, if any, who controls (as
defined in the Securities Act) such Holder or underwriter against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become
subject under laws which are applicable to the Company and relate to action or
inaction required of the Company in connection with any Registration,
qualification, or compliance, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
of the following statements, omissions or violations (each a “Violation”):  (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
such Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto,
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration
Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of Applicable
Securities Laws, or any rule or regulation

 

9

 

promulgated
under Applicable Securities Laws.  The
Company will reimburse each such Holder, underwriter or controlling person for
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.

 

(b)                              The indemnity agreement contained in this Clause 5.1 shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability
or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be
liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly
for use in connection with such Registration by any such Holder, underwriter or
controlling person.

 

(c)                                  The foregoing indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or
underwriter, or any Person controlling (within the meaning of the Securities
Act) such Holder or underwriter, from whom the Person asserting any such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased shares in the offering, if
liability arises out of or is based upon offers or sales by the Holder or
underwriter “by means of” (as defined in Securities Act Rule 159A) a “free
writing prospectus” (as defined in Securities Act Rule 405) that was not
authorized in writing by the Company.

 

5.2                                 Holder Indemnity.

 

(a)                                  To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will, severally and
not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers,
legal counsel and accountants, any underwriter, any other Holder selling
securities in connection with such Registration and each Person, if any, who
controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company, such
underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject,
under Applicable Securities Laws, or any rule or regulation promulgated
under Applicable Securities Laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any
Violation, if such Violation arises out of or is based upon offers or sales by
the Holder “by means of” (as defined in Securities Act Rule 159A) a “free
writing prospectus” (as defined in Securities Act Rule 405) prepared by or
provided by the Holder that was not authorized in writing by the Company; and
each such Holder will reimburse any person intended to be indemnified pursuant
to this Clause 5.2, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by such person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action.

 

(b)                                 The indemnity contained in this Clause 5.2 shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), and in no event shall any indemnity under
this Clause 5.2 exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by
such Holder.

 

5.3                                 Notice of Indemnification Claim.  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified
party under Clause 5.1 or Clause 5.2 of notice of the
commencement of any action (including any governmental

 

10

 

action),
such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against any indemnifying party under Clause 5.1 or Clause 5.2,
deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof
and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the
extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the indemnifying parties. 
An indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that
may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to
retain one separate counsel, with the reasonably incurred fees and expenses to
be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party
by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to
actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any
other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to
deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of
the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend
such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
indemnified party under this Clause 5, but the omission to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability
that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Clause 5.

 

5.4                                 Contribution.  If any indemnification provided for in Clause
5.1 or Clause 5.2 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim,
damage or expense referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability,
claim, damage or expense 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, in connection with the statements or omissions
that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, 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 party or by
the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

5.5                                 Underwriting Agreement.  To the extent that the 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.

 

5.6                                 Survival.  The obligations of the Company and Holders
under this Clause 5 shall survive the completion of any offering of
Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement under this Agreement, and
otherwise.

 

6.                                      ADDITIONAL
UNDERTAKINGS

 

6.1                                 Reports under the Exchange Act.   The Company
covenants that it will use reasonable best efforts to (a) file the reports
required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act or any
comparable provision of any Applicable Securities Law (of, if the Company is
not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder,
make publicly available such information), and it will take such further action
as any Holder may

 

11

 

reasonably
request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to
sell Registrable Securities without Registration or pursuant to Form F-3
or Form S-3 (or any form comparable thereto under Applicable Securities
Laws of any jurisdiction where the Company’s securities are listed) and (b) file
with or furnish to the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under all Applicable Securities Laws.

 

6.2                                 Termination of Registration Rights.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the registration
rights set forth in Clause 2 and Clause 3 of this Agreement shall
terminate if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company,
all Registrable Securities that the Initiating Holder is seeking to sell may
then be sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act (or comparable provision
under the laws of another jurisdiction, as applicable).

 

6.3                                 Assignment of Registration Rights.  The right to cause the Company to Register
Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned by any Holder
to a transferee or assignee of such securities, provided that: (a) the
Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with
written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the
securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; and
(b) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

7.                                      MISCELLANEOUS

of the agreements of the another party or conditions to such party’s
obligations contained herein.  Any such
extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in
writing signed by the extending or waiving party.  No waiver of any agreement or obligation
granted pursuant to this Clause 7.1(b) or otherwise in accordance
with this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any prior or subsequent
breach of such agreement or obligation or any other agreement or
obligation.  The failure of any party
hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of
any of such rights.

 

7.2                                 Notices.  All notices required or permitted hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon

INDEMNIFICATION
AGREEMENT

 

This Indemnification Agreement (the “Agreement”)
is entered into as of
                    ,
by and between SYSWIN Inc., a
company incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”),
and the undersigned, a director and/or officer of the Company (“Indemnitee”).

 

RECITALS

 

1.                                       The Company recognizes that highly competent persons are
becoming more reluctant to serve corporations as directors or in other
capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance
or adequate indemnification against risks of claims and actions against them
arising out of their services to the corporation.

 

2.                                       The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has
determined that the inability to attract and retain highly competent persons to
serve the Company is detrimental to the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders and that it is reasonable and necessary for the Company to provide
adequate protection to such persons against risks of claims and actions against
them arising out of their services to the Company.

 

3.                                       The Company is willing to indemnify Indemnitee to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and Indemnitee is willing to serve
and continue to serve the Company on the condition that he/she be so
indemnified.

 

AGREEMENT

 

In consideration of the premises and
the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant
and agree as follows:

 

A.                                   DEFINITIONS

 

The following terms shall have the
meanings defined below:

 

Expenses shall include damages, judgments, fines, penalties,
settlements and costs, attorneys’ fees and disbursements and costs of
attachment or similar bond, investigations, and any expenses paid or incurred
in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in, participating
in (including on appeal), or preparing for any of the foregoing in, any
Proceeding (as hereinafter defined).

 

Indemnifiable
Event means any event or
occurrence that takes place either before or after the execution of this
Agreement, related to the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director of the
Company or an officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or consolidated
variable interest entities (“VIEs”), or is or was serving at the request of the
Company as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture or other entity, or related to anything done or not done by Indemnitee
in any such capacity.

 

 

Participant means a person who is a party to, or witness or participant
(including on appeal) in, a Proceeding.

 

Proceeding means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, or any inquiry, hearing or investigation, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, investigative or other, including appeal, in which Indemnitee
may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise by reason of an
Indemnifiable Event, including, without limitation, any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Company.

 

B.                                     AGREEMENT TO INDEMNIFY

 

1.                                       General Agreement.  In the event Indemnitee was, is or becomes a
Participant in, or is threatened to be made a Participant in, a Proceeding, the
Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee from and against any and all Expenses
which Indemnitee incurs or becomes obligated to incur in connection with such
Proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

 

2.                                       Indemnification of Expenses of Successful Party.  Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that Indemnitee
has been successful on the merits in defense of any Proceeding or in defense of
any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be
indemnified against all Expenses incurred in connection with such Proceeding or
such claim, issue or matter, as the case may be, offset by the amount of cash,
if any, received by Indemnitee resulting from his/her success therein.

 

3.                                       Partial Indemnification.  If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision
of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for a portion of Expenses,
but not for the total amount of Expenses, the Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses to which Indemnitee is entitled.

 

4.                                       Exclusions.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification under
this Agreement:

 

(a)                                  to the extent that payment is actually made to Indemnitee
under a valid, enforceable and collectible insurance policy;

 

(b)                                 to the extent that Indemnitee is indemnified and actually paid
other than pursuant to this Agreement;

 

(c)                                  in connection with a judicial action by or in the right of
the Company, in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee
shall have been adjudicated by final judgment in a court of law to be liable
for intentional misconduct  in the performance of his/her
duty to the Company unless and only to the extent that any court in which such
action was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such Expenses as such court
shall deem proper;

 

(d)                                 in connection with any Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee
against the Company, any director or officer of the Company or any other party,
and not by way of defense, unless (i) the Company has joined in or the
Reviewing Party (as hereinafter defined)

 

2

 

has
consented to the initiation of such Proceeding; or (ii) the Proceeding is
one to enforce indemnification rights under this Agreement or any applicable
law;

 

(e)                                  for a disgorgement of profits made from the purchase and
sale by the Indemnitee of securities pursuant to Section 16(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of any
applicable U.S. state statutory law or common law;

 

(f)                                    brought about by the dishonesty or fraud of Indemnitee
seeking payment hereunder; provided, however, that Indemnitee shall be
protected under this Agreement as to any claims upon which suit may be brought
against him/her by reason of any alleged dishonesty on his/her part, unless a
judgment or other final adjudication thereof adverse to Indemnitee establishes
that he/she committed (i) acts of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) with
actual dishonest purpose and intent, and (iii) which acts were material to
the cause of action so adjudicated;

 

(g)                                 for any judgment, fine or penalty which the Company is
prohibited by applicable law from paying as indemnity;

 

(h)                                 arising out of Indemnitee’s personal tax matter; or

 

(i)                                     arising out of Indemnitee’s breach of an employment
agreement with the Company (if any) or any other agreement with the Company or
any of its subsidiaries or VIEs.

 

5.                                       No Employment Rights.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended to
create in Indemnitee any right to continued employment with the Company.

 

6.                                       Contribution.  If the
indemnification provided in this Agreement is unavailable and may not be paid
to Indemnitee for any reason other than those set forth in Section B.4
above, then the Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and by Indemnitee on the other hand
from the transaction from which such Proceeding arose, and (ii) the
relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of Indemnitee on the other
hand in connection with the events which resulted in such Expenses, as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations. 
The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of Indemnitee on
the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such Expenses.  The Company agrees that it would not be just
and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section B.6 were determined
by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take
account of the foregoing equitable considerations.

 

C.                                     INDEMNIFICATION PROCESS

 

1.                                       Notice and Cooperation By Indemnitee.  Indemnitee shall,
as a condition precedent to his/her right to be indemnified under this
Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any
claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought
under this Agreement.  Notice to the
Company shall

 

3

 

be
given in accordance with Section F.7 below.  In addition, Indemnitee shall give the
Company such information and cooperation as the Company may reasonably request.

 

2.                                       Indemnification Payment.

 

(a)                                  Advancement of Expenses.  Indemnitee may
submit a written request with reasonable particulars to the Company requesting
that the Company advance to Indemnitee all Expenses that may be reasonably
incurred by Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding.  The Company shall, within ten (10) business
days of receiving such a written request by Indemnitee, advance all requested
Expenses to Indemnitee.  Any excess of
the advanced Expenses over the actual Expenses will be repaid to the Company.

 

(b)                                 Reimbursement of Expenses.  To the extent Indemnitee
has not requested any advanced payment of Expenses from the Company, Indemnitee
shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for the Expenses incurred in
connection with a Proceeding from the Company as soon as practicable after
Indemnitee makes a written request to the Company for reimbursement.

 

(c)                                  Determination by the Reviewing Party.  Notwithstanding
anything foregoing to the contrary, in the event the Reviewing Party (as
hereinafter defined) informs the Company that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification in connection with a Proceeding under this Agreement or
applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee
for all the Expenses previously advanced or otherwise paid to Indemnitee in
connection with such Proceeding; provided, however, that
Indemnitee may bring a suit to enforce his indemnification right in accordance
with Section C.3 below.

 

3.                                       Suit to Enforce Rights.  Regardless of any action by the Reviewing
Party, if Indemnitee has not received full indemnification within 30 days after
making a written demand in accordance with Section C.2 above, Indemnitee
shall have the right to enforce his/her indemnification rights under this
Agreement by commencing litigation in any court of competent jurisdiction
seeking a determination by the court or challenging any determination by the
Reviewing Party or any breach in any aspect of this Agreement.  Any determination by the Reviewing Party not
challenged by Indemnitee and any final judgment entered by the court shall be binding
on the Company and Indemnitee.

 

4.                                       Assumption of Defense.  In the event the Company is obligated under
this Agreement to advance or bear any Expenses for any Proceeding against
Indemnitee, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such
Proceeding, with counsel approved by Indemnitee, upon delivery to Indemnitee of
written notice of its election to do so. 
After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee
and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be
liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently
incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding, unless (i) the
employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the
Company, (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded, based on written
advice of counsel, that there may be a conflict of interest of such counsel
retained by the Company between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of
any such defense, or (iii) the Company ceases or terminates the employment
of such counsel with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, in any of which
events the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of
the Company.  At all times, Indemnitee
shall have the right to employ counsel in any Proceeding at Indemnitee’s
expense.

 

4

 

5.                                       Defense to Indemnification, Burden of Proof and Presumptions.  It shall be a
defense to any action brought by Indemnitee against the Company to enforce this
Agreement that it is not permissible under this Agreement or applicable law for
the Company to  indemnify
the Indemnitee for the amount claimed. 
In connection with any such action or any determination by the Reviewing
Party or otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified under
this Agreement, the burden of proving such a defense or determination shall be
on the Company.  Neither the failure of
the Reviewing Party or the Company to have made a determination prior to the
commencement of such action by Indemnitee that indemnification is proper under
the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the standard of conduct set forth
in applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Reviewing Party or the
Company that Indemnitee had not met such applicable standard of conduct shall
be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met
the applicable standard of conduct.

 

6.                                       No Settlement Without Consent.  Neither party to this Agreement shall settle
any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any damage, loss, penalty or
limitation on Indemnitee without the other party’s written consent.  Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall
unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed settlement.

 

7.                                       Company Participation.  Subject to Section B.6, the Company
shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement with
regard to any judicial action if the Company was not given a reasonable and
timely opportunity, at its expense, to participate in the defense, conduct
and/or settlement of such action.

 

8.                                       Reviewing Party.

 

(a) 
For purposes of this Agreement, the Reviewing Party with respect to each
indemnification request of Indemnitee shall be (A) the Board of Directors
by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors (as
hereinafter defined), or (B) if a quorum of the Board of Directors
consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable,
said Disinterested Directors so direct, Independent Counsel (as hereinafter
defined) in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall
be delivered to Indemnitee; and, if it is determined that Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days
after such determination.  Indemnitee
shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination
with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including
providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any
documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected
from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably
necessary to such determination.  Any
Independent Counsel or member of the Board of Directors shall act reasonably
and in good faith in making a determination under this Agreement of the
Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification. 
Any reasonable costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person,
persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company
(irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to
indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold
Indemnitee harmless therefrom to the extent as aforesaid.  “Disinterested Director” means a
director of the Company who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in
respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee.

 

5

 

(b) 
If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by
Independent Counsel, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in
this Section C.8(b).  The
Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall
request that such selection be made by the Board of Directors, in which event
the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of
Disinterested Directors shall select), and Indemnitee shall give written notice
to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so
selected.  In either event, Indemnitee
or the Company, as the case may be, may, within 10 days after such written
notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company or to
Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however,
that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent
Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel”
as defined in Section C.8(d) of this Agreement, and the objection
shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion.  Absent a proper and timely objection, the
person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel.  If a written objection is made and
substantiated, the Independent Counsel selected may not serve as Independent
Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined
that such objection is without merit.  If
the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by
Independent Counsel, but within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of a
written request for indemnification, no Independent Counsel shall have been
selected and not objected to, then the Board of Directors by a majority vote
shall select the Independent Counsel.  The
Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent
Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting under
this Agreement, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses
incident to the procedures of this Section C.8(b), regardless of the
manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.

 

(c) 
In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification
hereunder, the Reviewing Party shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for
indemnification in accordance with this Agreement, and the Company shall have
the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making
by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that
presumption.  The termination of any
Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order,
settlement (with or without court approval), conviction, or upon a plea of nolo  contendere
or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to
indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good
faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding,
that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.  For purposes of any
determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in
good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account
of the Company and any other corporation, partnership, joint venture or other
entity of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the written request of the
Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, including
financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers
and directors of the Company or such other corporation, partnership, joint
venture or other entity in the course of their duties, or on the advice of
legal counsel for the Company or such other corporation, partnership, joint
venture or other entity or on information or records given or reports made to
the Company or such other corporation, partnership, joint venture or other
entity by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or
other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company or such other
corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity.  In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or
failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company or
such other corporation, partnership, joint

 

6

 

venture
or other entity shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining
the right to indemnification under this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section C.8(c) shall
not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in
which Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct
set forth in this Agreement.

 

(d) 
“Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that
is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in
the past five (5) years has been, retained to represent (i) the
Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than
with respect to matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other
indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party
to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent
Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of
professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in
representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine
Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. 
The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel
referred to above.

 

D.                                    DIRECTOR AND OFFICER LIABILITY INSURANCE

 

1.                                       Good Faith Determination.  The Company shall from time to time make the
good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for the Company to
obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies
providing the officers and directors of the Company with coverage for losses
incurred in connection with their services to the Company or to ensure the
Company’s performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement.

 

2.                                       Coverage of Indemnitee.  To the extent the Company maintains an
insurance policy or policies providing directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies, in
accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage
available for any of the Company’s directors or officers.

 

3.                                       No Obligation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain any director and officer
insurance policy if the Company determines in good faith that such insurance is
not reasonably available in the case that (i) premium costs for such
insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, (ii) the
coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an
insufficient benefit, or (iii) Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance
maintained by a parent, subsidiary or VIE of the Company.

 

E.                                      NON-EXCLUSIVITY; FEDERAL PREEMPTION; TERM

 

1.                                       Non-Exclusivity.  The indemnification provided by this
Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which Indemnitee may
be entitled under the Articles of Association, applicable law or any written
agreement between Indemnitee and the Company (including its subsidiaries and
VIEs).  The indemnification provided under
this Agreement shall continue to be available to Indemnitee for any action
taken or not taken while serving in

 

7

 

an
indemnified capacity even though he/she may have ceased to serve in any such
capacity at the time of any Proceeding.

 

2.                                       Federal Preemption.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, both the
Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, U.S. federal law
or public policy may override applicable law and prohibit the Company from
indemnifying its directors and officers under this Agreement or otherwise.  Indemnitee acknowledges that the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) believes that indemnification
for liabilities arising under certain federal
securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable and  that
the Company has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with
the SEC to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain
circumstances for a determination of the Company’s right under public policy to
indemnify Indemnitee.

 

3.                                       Duration of Agreement.  All agreements and
obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period
Indemnitee is an officer and/or a director of the Company (or is or was serving
at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and
shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any
Proceeding by reason of his/her former or current capacity at the Company or
any other enterprise at the Company’s request, whether or not he/she is acting
or serving in any such capacity at the time any Expense is incurred for which
indemnification can be provided under this Agreement.  This Agreement shall continue in effect
regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as an officer and/or a
director of the Company or any other enterprise at the Company’s request.

 

F.                                      MISCELLANEOUS

 

1.                                       Amendment of this Agreement.  No supplement, modification, or amendment of
this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties
hereto.  No waiver of any of the
provisions of this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other provisions
(whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing
waiver.  Except as specifically provided
in this Agreement, no failure to exercise or any delay in exercising any right
or remedy shall constitute a waiver.

 

2.                                       Subrogation.  In the event of payment to Indemnitee by the Company
under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such
payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all
papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such
rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the
Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

 

3.                                       Assignment; Binding Effect.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights
or obligations hereunder may be assigned by either party hereto without the
prior written consent of the other party; except that the Company may, without
such consent, assign all such rights and obligations to a successor in interest
to the Company which assumes all obligations of the Company under this
Agreement.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by and against the parties hereto and the Company’s successors
(including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation,
or otherwise to all or substantially all of the

 

8

 

business and/or assets of the
Company) and assigns, as well as Indemnitee’s spouses, heirs, and personal and
legal representatives.

 

4.                                       Severability and Construction.
 Nothing in this Agreement is intended to
require or shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any
act in violation of applicable law.  The
Company’s inability, pursuant to a court order, to perform its obligations
under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.  In addition, if any portion of this Agreement
shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or
otherwise unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 
The parties hereto acknowledge that they each have opportunities to have
their respective counsel review this Agreement. 
Accordingly, this Agreement shall be deemed to be the product of both of
the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against
either of the parties hereto.

 

5.                                       Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two
counterparts, both of which taken together shall constitute one instrument.

 

6.                                       Governing Law.  This agreement and all acts and transactions
pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto hereunder
shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York, U.S.A., without giving effect to conflicts of law provisions
thereof.

 

7.                                       Notices.  All notices, demands, and other
communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be made in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand,

return receipt requested, and addressed to the Company at:
