- The holders of the Series A-2 Preference Shares shall be entitled to receive, out of funds
legally available therefor, when and if declared by the Board, cash dividends at the rate of 2.40%
of the Series A-2 Preference Share issue price per annum prior and in preference to the ordinary
shareholders or any other class of shareholders.

- After the foregoing accrued dividend preference of the Series A-2 Preference Shares has been paid
in full for all prior full calendar years, the holders of the Series A-2 Preference Shares shall be
entitled to participate pro rata in any dividends paid on the Ordinary Shares on an as-converted
basis.

Liquidation preference:

- Upon the occurrence of a “Liquidation Event”, before any distribution or payment to the holders
of the Ordinary Shares, an amount shall be paid to each holder of Series A-2 Preference Shares with
respect to each Series A-2 Preference Share then held by such holder equal to 100% of its Original
Issue Price, as adjusted for any share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and
similar transactions, plus all dividends accrued or declared and unpaid with respect thereto
(collectively, the “Preference Share Liquidation Preference”).

After the payment of the Preference Share Liquidation Preference, the holder of Series A-2
Preference Shares shall be entitled to receive on a pro rata basis with the holders of the Ordinary
Shares ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively
entitled thereon on an as-converted basis.

“Liquidation Event” means (i) a sale, leasing, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a whole, (ii) an exclusive licensing (at
fair market value) of all or substantially all of the intellectual property of the Company and its
subsidiaries as a whole to any third party, or (iii) a consolidation or merger of the Company or
any of its major Subsidiaries with or into any other company or companies in which the
members/shareholders of the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be) immediately prior to
such event do not retain a majority of the voting power in the surviving company.

Conversion rights:

- The Series A-2 Preference Shares are convertible into the Class A Ordinary Shares at an initial
conversion ratio of 1:1 at any time after the original issuance date. Such initial conversion
ratio shall be subject to adjustment as provided in the Amended and Restated Memorandum and
Articles of Association of the Company.

Voting rights:

- Each holder of Series A-2 Preference Shares shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to
that number of Class A ordinary Shares into which such Series A-2 Preference Shares could then be
converted, and with respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers
equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Class A Ordinary Shares, and shall be
entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any shareholders’ meeting in
accordance with the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, and shall be
entitled to vote, together with holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and holders of Class B Ordinary
Shares and not as a separate class (except as specifically provided herein or as otherwise required
by law), with respect to any question upon which holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and holders of
Class B Ordinary Shares have the right to vote.

- If the Company has not consummated a Qualified IPO prior to the June 30, 2012(the “Redemption
Start Date”), at any time commencing on the Redemption Start Date and subject to the Securities
Act, at the option of the holders of at least a majority of the Series A-2 Preference Shares then outstanding, voting
as a single class, the Company shall, on a date (the “Redemption Date”) no later than ten 10
business days after the notification by such holders, redeem all, but not less than all, of the
Series A-2 Preference Shares out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price per
Series A-2 Preference Share (the “Redemption Price”) equal to:

 

 

IP x (1 + (2.40% x N)) + X, where IP = applicable Original Issue Price; and N = a fraction the
numerator of which is the number of calendar days between the Original Issue Date, as applicable,
and the Redemption Date and the denominator of which is 365; and X is equal to all declared but
unpaid dividends per Series A -2 Preference Share thereon up to the Redemption Date, proportionally
adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications,
consolidations or mergers.
