     3.1 Organization, Good Standing; Due Authorization.

     Each member of the Company Group is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the Laws of their respective jurisdiction of incorporation. Each member of the Company Group
has all requisite legal and corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now
conducted, and is duly qualified to transact business in each jurisdiction in which the failure to
so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect on such Person.

     3.2 Authorization; Consents.

     Each of the Company and the PRC Companies has all requisite legal and corporate power, and has
taken all corporate action necessary, for each to properly and legally authorize, execute and
deliver this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and to carry
out its respective obligations hereunder and thereunder. The authorization and issuance of all of
(A) the Series A Preferred Shares under this Agreement, (B) the Ordinary Shares issuable upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares, (C) the Series A Preferred Shares issuable upon

each of the Transaction Documents to which the Company, any of the PRC Companies, and/or the
Founder is party, when executed and delivered by the same, will constitute the valid and legally
binding obligation of the Company, any of the PRC Companies and/or the Founder, as the case may be,
and enforceable against such Person in accordance with their respective terms, except (i) as
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other Laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) as limited by Laws
relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable
remedies. The issuance of any Series A Preferred Shares or Ordinary Shares issuable upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares is not subject to any preemptive rights or rights of
first refusal, or if any such preemptive rights or rights of first refusal exist, waiver of such
rights has been obtained from the holders thereof. For the purpose only of this Agreement,
“reserve,” “reservation” or similar words with respect to a specified number of Ordinary Shares or
Series A Preferred Shares of the Company shall mean that the Company shall, and the Board of
Directors of the Company shall procure that the Company shall, refrain from issuing such number of
shares so that such number of shares will remain in the authorized but unissued shares of the
Company until the conversion rights of the holders of any Convertible Securities exercisable for
such shares and the Warrants are exercised in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles or
otherwise.

     3.3 Valid Issuance of Series A Preferred Shares; Consents.

     (i) The Series A Preferred Shares, when issued and sold to the Investor in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, the Ordinary Shares, when issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred
Shares, and the Series A Preferred Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants will be duly and
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free from any Liens and will be free of restrictions
on transfer (except for any restrictions on transfer under applicable securities Laws). The
Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares and the Series A
Preferred Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, when issued and sold to the Investor in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, have been duly and validly reserved for issuance and,
upon issuance in accordance with the terms of the Memorandum and Articles, will be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free from any Liens and will be free of restrictions on
transfer (except for any restrictions on transfer under applicable securities Laws).

market value shall be made by an independent appraiser selected jointly by the Board and the
challenging Party. Should the market value made by an independent appraiser differ from that made
by the Board, the market value made by an independent appraiser shall form the value of the
Ordinary Share. The cost of such appraisal shall be borne by the Founder if the independent
appraiser determines that the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares is less than that determined
by the Board by a factor of more than 5%. The cost of such appraisal shall be borne by the Company
if the independent appraiser determines that the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares is equal
to at least 95% of the fair market value determined by the Board.

     1.3 Jurisdiction.

     The terms of this Agreement are drafted primarily in contemplation of an offering of
securities in the United States of America. The parties recognize, however, the possibility that
securities may be qualified or registered in a jurisdiction other than the United States of America
for offering to the public or that the Company might effect an offering in the United States of
America in the form of American Depositary Receipts or American Depositary Shares. Accordingly:

     (a) It is their intention that, whenever this Agreement refers to a law, form, process
or institution of the United States of America but the parties wish to effectuate qualification or
registration in a different jurisdiction, reference in this Agreement to the laws or institutions
of the United States shall be read as referring, mutatis mutandis, to the comparable laws
or institutions of the jurisdiction in question; and

     (b) It is agreed that the Company will not undertake any listing of American
Depositary Receipts, American Depositary Shares or any other security derivative of the Company’s
Ordinary Shares unless arrangements have been made reasonably satisfactory to a majority in
interest of the Holders of then outstanding Registrable Securities to ensure that the spirit and
intent of this Agreement will be realized and that the Company is committed to take such actions as
are necessary such that the Holders will enjoy rights corresponding to the rights hereunder to sell
their Registrable Securities in a public offering in the United States of America as if the Company
had listed Ordinary Shares in lieu of such derivative securities.

     2. Demand Registration.

     2.1 Registration Other Than on Form F-3 or Form S-3.

     Subject to the terms of this Agreement, at any time or from time to time after the earlier of
(i) one (1) year after the Closing Date and (ii) completion of a Qualified IPO, Holders holding
fifty percent (50%) or more of the then outstanding Registrable Securities may request in writing
that the Company effect a Registration for an anticipated gross proceeds of at least US$5,000,000
to the Company from the Registration in any jurisdiction in which the Company has had a registered
underwritten public offering (or, if the Company has not yet had a registered underwritten public
offering, then such request may be to effect such Registration on the New York Stock Exchange, the
NASDAQ National Market, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Main Board, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange GEM,
or any other internationally recognized exchange that is approved by Company) of all or part of the
Registrable Securities, including without limitation any registration statement filed under the
Securities Act providing

Shareholders Agreement

for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis by the Holders of, all of
the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act and/or any similar rule
that may be adopted by the Commission on Form F-1 or Form S-1 (or any comparable form for
Registration in a jurisdiction other than the United States, if applicable). Upon receipt of such a
request, the Company shall (a) promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration to all
other Holders and (b) as soon as practicable, 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 for sale and distribution
in such jurisdiction. The Company shall be obligated to effect no more than two (2) Registrations
pursuant to this Section 2.1 that have been declared and ordered effective, and shall not be
obligated to effect a Registration within one year following the effective date of the Company’s
IPO.

     2.2 Registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3.

     Subject to the terms of this Agreement, at any time after a Qualified IPO, if the Company
qualifies for registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any comparable form for Registration in a
jurisdiction other than the United States), any Holder may request the Company to file, in any
jurisdiction in which the Company has had a registered underwritten public offering, a
Registration Statement on Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any comparable form for Registration in a
jurisdiction other than the United States), including without limitation any registration
statement filed under the Securities Act providing for the registration of, and the sale on a
continuous or delayed basis by the Holders of, all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule
415 under the Securities Act and/or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission, for a
public offering of Registrable Securities for which the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to
the public, net of Selling Expenses, would exceed US$ 1,000,000. Upon receipt of such a request,
the Company shall (i) promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration to all other
Holders and (ii) as soon as practicable, 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
jurisdiction. The Holders may at any time, and from time to time, require the Company to effect
the Registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2.2, provided, however, that
the Company shall be obligated to effect no more than one (1) Registrations in every twelve (12)
month period pursuant to this Section 2.2 that have been declared and ordered effective.

     2.3 Right of Deferral.

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

          (i) if, within ten (10) days of the receipt of any request of the Holders to
Register any Registrable Securities under Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, the Company gives notice to
the Initiating Holders of its bona fide intention to effect the filing for its own account of a
Registration Statement of Ordinary Shares within sixty (60) days of receipt of that request;
provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith its reasonable best efforts
to cause that Registration Statement to become effective within sixty (60) days of the initial
filing; provided further that the Holders are entitled to join such Registration subject
to Section 3;

Shareholders Agreement

3

 

          (ii) during the period starting with the date of filing by the Company of, and
ending six (6) months following the effective date of any Registration Statement pertaining to
Ordinary Shares of the Company; provided that the Holders are entitled to join such
Registration subject to Section 3; or

          (iii) in any jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent
to service of process in effecting such Registration or qualification, unless the Company is
already subject to service of process in such jurisdiction;

     (b) If, after receiving a request from Holders pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 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, there is a reasonable likelihood
that it would be materially detrimental to the Company or its members 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 materially 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 Section 2.1 or sixty (60) days from the receipt of any request duly
submitted by Holders under Section 2.2 to Register Registrable Securities; provided
further, that the Company may not Register any other of its Securities during such sixty (60)
or ninety (90) day period (except for Registrations contemplated by Section 3.4); as the case may
be, and provided that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve
(12) month period.

     2.4 Underwritten Offerings.

     If, in connection with a request to Register Registrable Securities under Section 2.1 or
Section 2.2, the Initiating Holders seek to distribute such Registrable Securities in an
underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of the request, and the Company shall
include such information in the written notice to the other Holders described in Sections 2.1 and
2.2. In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such
Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the
inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually
agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided
herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter
into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters of
internationally recognized standing selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter advises the Company that
marketing factors (including without limitation the aggregate number of securities requested to be
Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the Persons proposing to sell
securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of Registrable
Securities to be underwritten in a Registration pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2, the underwriters
may (i) in the event the offering is the Company’s IPO, exclude from the underwriting all of the
Registrable Securities (so long as the only securities included in such offering are those of the
Company), or (ii) otherwise exclude up to twenty percent (20%) of the Registrable Securities
requested to be Registered but only after first excluding all other Equity Securities from the
Registration and underwriting and so long as the number of shares to be included in the
Registration on behalf of Holders is allocated among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as
practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities requested by such Holders to be
included, provided that if, as a result of such underwriter cutback, the Holders cannot
include in the initial public offering all of the Registrable Securities that they have requested
to be included therein, then such Registration

Shareholders Agreement

4

 

shall not be deemed to constitute one (1) of the two (2) demand Registrations to which the Holders
are entitled pursuant to Section 2.1. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such
underwriting shall be withdrawn from the Registration.

     3. Piggyback Registrations.

     3.1 Registration of the Company’s Securities.

     Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if the Company proposes to Register for its own
account any of its Equity Securities, or for the account of any holder (other than a Holder) of
Equity Securities any of such holder’s Equity Securities, in connection with the public offering of
such securities solely for cash (except as set forth in Section 3.4), the Company shall promptly
give each Holder written notice of such Registration and, upon the written request of any Holder
given within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such notice, the Company shall use its reasonable
best efforts to include in such Registration any Registrable Securities thereby requested to be
Registered 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, all upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein. No shareholder (other than the Holder) of the Company shall be granted piggyback
registration rights superior to those of the Holder without the consent of the holders of at least
50% of then-outstanding Series A Preferred Shares (or Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of the
Series A Preferred Shares or a combination of such Ordinary Shares, Series A Preferred Shares).

     3.2 Right to Terminate Registration.

     The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any Registration initiated by it
under Section 3.1 prior to the effectiveness of such Registration, 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 Section 4.3.

     3.3 Underwriting Requirements.

     (a) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of the Company’s
Equity Securities solely for cash, the Company shall not be required to Register the Registrable
Securities of a Holder under this Section 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 underwriter or underwriters of internationally recognized standing 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 Section 3 in writing that market factors (including the
aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be Registered, the general condition of the
market, and the status of the Persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration)
require a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten, the underwriters
may (i) in the event the offering is the Company’s IPO, exclude all of the Registrable Securities
(so long as the only securities included in such offering are those of the Company and no
securities of other selling shareholders are included), or (ii) otherwise exclude up to thirty
percent (30%) of the Registrable Securities requested to be Registered but only after first
excluding all other Equity Securities (except for securities to be offered by the Company) from the
Registration and underwriting and so long as the Registrable

Shareholders Agreement

5

 

Securities to be included in such Registration on behalf of Holders are allocated among all Holders
in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities
requested by such Holders to be included.

     (b) If any Holder disapproves 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) 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 Section
3 in connection with a Registration by the Company (i) relating solely to the sale of securities to
participants in a Company share plan, or (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).

     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 reasonably possible:

     (a) Prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to
those Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause that Registration
Statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders holding a majority of the
Registrable Securities Registered thereunder, keep the Registration Statement effective for up to
one hundred and eighty (180) days or, if earlier, until the distribution thereunder has been
completed; provided, however, that such one hundred and eighty (180) day period shall be
extended for a period of time equal to the period any Holder refrains from selling any Registrable
Securities included in such Registration at the written request of the underwriter(s) for such
Registration.

     (b) Prepare and file with the Commission amendments and supplements to that
Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the 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
or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdictions;

     (e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its
obligations under an underwriting agreement, in customary form, with the managing

Shareholders Agreement

6

 

underwriter(s) 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 of (i) the issuance of any stop order by the commission, or (ii) 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) 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
closing 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; (ii) (A) a comfort letter dated the signing date of the underwriting agreement;
and (B) a bring down comfort letter dated the closing of the sale, each 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; and

     (i) Take all reasonable action necessary to list the Registrable Securities on the
primary exchange on which the Company’s securities are then traded or in connection with a
Qualified IPO, the primary exchange on which the Company’s securities will be traded.

     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 Selling Expenses (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), 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 and reasonable fees and disbursement of one counsel for all selling Holders, shall be
borne by the Company.

     4.4 Delay of Registration.

Shareholders Agreement

7

 

     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 Sections 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 of this Agreement.

     5. Indemnification.

     5.1 Company Indemnity.

     (a) To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and
hold harmless each Holder, such Holder’s officers, directors, shareholders, 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”), in each case to the extent
that such Violation occurs in reliance upon information furnished by the Company for use in
connection with such Registration: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in such Registration Statement, on the effective date thereof (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 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 Section 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
or delayed), 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 solely out of or is solely based upon a Violation
that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished for use in
connection with such Registration by any such Holder, underwriter or controlling person.

     5.2 Holder Indemnity.

     (a) To the maximum extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will 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, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in

Shareholders Agreement

8

 

reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder for use in
connection with such Registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any Person intended to be
indemnified pursuant to this Section 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. No Holder’s liability under this Section 5.2 shall exceed the net proceeds (less
underwriting discounts and selling commissions) received by such Holder from the offering of
securities made in connection with that Registration; provided, however, such limitation
shall not apply in the case of willful fraud by such Holder.

     (b) The indemnity contained in this Section 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 or delayed).

     5.3 Notice of Indemnification Claim.

     Promptly after receipt by an indemnified Party under Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 of notice of
the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified Party will, if
a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under Section 5.1 or
Section 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, to the extent so prejudiced, of any liability
to the indemnified Party under this Section 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 Section 5.

     5.4 Contribution.

     If any indemnification provided for in Section 5.1 or Section 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

Shareholders Agreement

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 Section 5 shall survive the completion
of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement under this Agreement.

     6. Additional Undertakings.

     6.1 Reports under the Exchange Act.

     With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act and any comparable provision of any Applicable Securities Law that may at any time
permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without Registration or pursuant to
a Registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any comparable form in a jurisdiction other than the
United States), the Company agrees to:

     (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and
defined in Rule 144 (or comparable provision, if any, under Applicable Securities Laws in any
jurisdiction where the Company’s securities are listed), at all times following ninety (90) days
after the effective date of the first Registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company
for an offering of its securities to the general public;

     (b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents
required of the Company under all Applicable Securities Laws; and

     (c) at any time following ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first

written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter
into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any Equity Securities of the Company
that would allow such holder or prospective holder (i) to include such Equity Securities in any
Registration filed under Section 2 or 3, unless under the terms of such agreement such holder or
prospective holder may include such Equity Securities in any such Registration only to the extent
that the inclusion of such Equity Securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable
Securities of the Holders that are included, (ii) to demand Registration of their securities, or
(iii) cause the Company to include such Equity Securities in any Registration filed under Section
2.2 or Section 3 hereof on a basis more favorable to such holder or prospective holder than is

     6.3 “Market Stand-Off” Agreement.

     Each Holder agrees, if so required by the managing underwriter(s), that it will not during
the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s IPO and ending
on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one
hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such final prospectus, or such other period, not to
exceed twenty (20) additional days, as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to
accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research
reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including but not limited to, the
restrictions contained in NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions
or amendments thereto), (i) lend, offer, pledge, hypothecate, hedge, sell, make any short sale of,
loan, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract
to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of,
directly or indirectly, any Equity Securities (other than those included in such offering) or (ii)
enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of
the economic consequences of ownership of the Equity Securities, whether any such transaction
described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Equity Securities or such
other securities, in cash or otherwise; provided, that (x) all directors, officers and all
other holders of share capital of the Company must be bound by restrictions substantially
identical to those applicable to any Holder pursuant to this Section 6.3, (y) all Holders will be
released from any restrictions set forth in this Section 6.3 to the extent that any other members
subject to substantially similar restrictions are released, and (z) the lockup agreements shall
permit Holders to transfer their Registrable Securities to their respective Affiliates so long as
the transferees enters into the same lockup agreement. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant,
the Company may place restrictive legends on the certificates and impose stop-transfer
instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each shareholder (and the shares or
securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such
period.

     6.4 Directed Shares.

     The Company agrees that, in the event of a filing for an IPO, the Company shall require that
the managing underwriter or underwriters of such IPO offer to the Investor the right to purchase
or to direct to the investors affiliated with the Investor, up to five percent (5%) of the total
number Ordinary Shares to be sold by the Company in the IPO (the “Directed Shares”). The Directed
Shares shall be offered pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, to the fullest extent
practicable, on the same terms and at the same price at which they are being offered to the
public, pursuant to the Company’s IPO registration statement, subject (i) to the other provisions
of this Agreement and (ii) in all cases to the requirements of applicable federal, state or other
securities laws (including but not limited to the Securities Act or the rules and

Shareholders Agreement

11

 

regulations of any securities exchange (including but not limited to the New York Stock Exchange,
the NASDAQ National Market, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Main Board, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange
GEM, or any other internationally recognized exchange that is approved by Company) on which the
Company has listed or desires to list shares of Ordinary Share in connection with the IPO.

     6.5 Assignment of Registration Rights.

     The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 and
Section 3 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Holder to (i) a transferee
or assignee of a minimum Registrable Securities, or (ii) an Affiliate or partner of the Holder or
shareholders who agree to act through a single representative; provided 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 provided, further, that such assignment shall be effective only if
immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or
assignee is restricted under the Securities Act. For the purposes of determining the number of
shares of Registrable Securities held by a transferee or assignee, the holdings of transferees and
assignees of a partnership who are partners or retired partners of such partnership (including
spouses and ancestors, lineal descendants and siblings of such partners or spouses who acquire
Registrable Securities by gift, will or intestate succession) shall be aggregated together and with
the partnership; provided that all assignees and transferees who would not qualify
individually for assignment of registration rights shall have a single attorney-in-fact for the
purpose of exercising any rights, receiving notices or taking any action hereunder.

     6.6 Exercise of Series A Preferred Shares.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement, the Company shall have no
obligation to register Registrable Securities which, if constituting Ordinary Share Equivalents,
have not been exercised, converted or exchanged, as applicable, for Ordinary Shares.

     6.7 Termination of Registration Rights.

     Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Registration Rights will be terminated three
(3) years after consummation of a Qualified IPO or earlier as to a particular Holder if such Holder
can sell all of its Registrable Securities in a ninety (90) day period pursuant to Rule 144 of the
Securities Act of 1934.

     7. Preemptive Right.

     7.1 General.

     The Company hereby grants to the holders of then-outstanding Series A Preferred Shares (each,
a “Series A Holder”) a right to purchase up to its pro rata shares of any New Securities that the
Company may, from time to time, propose to sell or issue to any person or entity other than the
holders of Ordinary Shares. A Series A Holder’s “pro rata share” for purposes of this purchase
right shall be determined according to the number of Ordinary Shares owned by such Series A Holder
immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities (assuming the exercise, conversion or
exchange of all then outstanding Ordinary Share Equivalents) in relation to the total number of
Ordinary Shares of the Company outstanding

Shareholders Agreement

12

 

immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities (assuming the exercise, conversion or
exchange of all then outstanding Ordinary Share Equivalents).

     7.2 Issuance Notice.

     In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give
each Series A Holder written notice (an “Issuance Notice”) of such intention, describing the type
of New Securities, and their price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue
the same. The Series A Holder shall have fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such notice to
agree to purchase such New Securities (as determined in Section 7.1 above) for the price and upon
the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the
quantity of New Securities to be purchased. Failure by a Series A Holder to give notice within such
fifteen-day period shall be deemed to constitute a decision by such Series A Holder not to exercise
its purchase rights with respect to such issuance of New Securities.

     7.3 Over Allotment.

     If any Series A Holder fails to exercise its right to purchase its full pro rata share of any
New Securities (each, a “Non-Exercising Holder”), the Company shall, within five (5) days after the
expiration of the fifteen (15) day period described in Section 7.2 above, deliver written notice
specifying the aggregate number of unpurchased New Securities that were eligible for purchase by
all Non-Exercising Holders (the “Remaining Securities”) to each Series A Holder that exercised its
right to purchase its full pro rata share of the New Securities (each, an “Exercising Holder”).
Each Exercising Holder shall have a right of overallotment, and may exercise an additional right to
purchase the Remaining Securities by notifying the Company in writing within fifteen (15) days
after receipt of the notice by the Company pursuant to the prior sentence of this Section 7.3;
provided, however, that if the Exercising Holders desire to purchase in aggregate more than
the number of Remaining Securities, then the Remaining Securities will be allocated to the extent
necessary among the Exercising Holders in accordance with their relative pro rata shares.

     7.4 Sales by the Company.

     For a period of one hundred twenty (120) days following the expiration of the fifteen (15) day
period as described in Section 7.2 above (or the fifteen (15) day period as described in Section
7.3 above, if applicable), the Company may sell any New Securities with respect to which a Series A
Holder’s preemptive rights under this Section 7 were not exercised, at a price and upon terms not
more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Issuance Notice. In the event the
Company has not sold such New Securities within such one hundred twenty (120) day period, the
Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities, without first again offering such
securities to the Series A Holders in the manner provided in Section 7.1 above.

     7.5 Termination of Preemptive Rights.

     The preemptive rights in this Section 7 shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the closing of
the Qualified IPO, or (ii) a Liquidation Event.

     8. Information and Inspection Rights.

restricted from making such disclosure pursuant to a bona fide agreement with a third party or if
such disclosure will jeopardize the attorney-client privilege.

     8.3 Termination of Information and Inspection Rights.

     The rights and covenants set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 shall terminate and be of no
further force or effect upon the earlier occurrence of (i) the closing of a Qualified IPO, (ii) the

the Securities Act of 1934, as amended; or (iii) a Liquidation Event.

end of each taxable year, with respect to such taxable year (i) whether the Company is “controlled
foreign corporation” (“CFC”) as defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or
any successor thereto) (the “Code”) or a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) as described
in Section 1297 of the Code (including whether any exception to PFIC status may apply) or is or may
be classified as a partnership or branch for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and (ii) to provide

attend the meeting. A quorum for a Board meeting shall consist of two (2) directors, including a
Series A Director; provided, however, if such quorum cannot be obtained per two (2)
consecutive meetings of directors due to the failure of a Series A Director to attend such
meetings of directors after the notice of the meeting has been sent by the Company in accordance
with the Memorandum and Articles, then the attendance of any two (2) directors at the next duly
called meeting of directors shall constitute a quorum.

Shareholders Agreement

     This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto) constitutes the full and entire
understanding and agreement among the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof. Any
term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be
waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively),
only with the written consent of (i) the Company, (ii) the Founder and (iii) the Investor. Any

be reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

     11.10 Rights Cumulative.

to be cumulative with and in addition to any other rights, powers and remedies which such Party may
have at law or in equity in the event of the breach of any of the terms of this Agreement. The
exercise or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy will neither constitute the exclusive
election thereof nor the waiver of any other right, power or remedy available to such Party.

     11.11 No Waiver.

     Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions
hereof will not be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant, or condition, nor will any waiver or
relinquishment of, or failure to insist upon strict compliance with, any right, power or remedy
power hereunder at any one or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such right, power
or remedy at any other time or times.

     11.12 Conflict with Articles of Association.

     The Parties hereto (other than the Company) agree that in the event of any conflict or
inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Company’s Articles
or Memorandum of Association or other constitutional documents, the terms of this Agreement shall
prevail as between the shareholders of the Company only. The Parties (other than the Company)
shall, notwithstanding the conflict or inconsistency, act so as to effect the intent of this
Agreement to the greatest extent possible under the circumstances and shall promptly amend the
conflicting constitutional documents to conform to this Agreement to the greatest extent possible.

     11.13 No Presumption.

     The parties acknowledge that any applicable law that would require interpretation of any
claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the Party that drafted it has no application and is
expressly waived. If any claim is made by a Party relating to any conflict, omission or ambiguity
in the provisions of this Agreement, no presumption or burden of proof or persuasion will be
implied because this Agreement was prepared by or at the request of any Party or its counsel.

     11.14 Information Waiver.

     (a) have no duty to the Company to refrain from participating as a director, investor

any information, including, but not limited to, market trend and market data, which comes into such
Covered Person’s possession, whether as a director, investor or otherwise (the “Information

shall be subject to such obligations and duties as would otherwise apply to such Covered Person
under applicable law, if the information at issue (i) constitutes material non-public information
concerning the Company, or (ii) is covered by a contractual obligation of confidentiality to which
the Company is subject. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.14 to the contrary, nothing
herein shall be construed as a waiver of any Covered Person’s duty of loyalty or obligation of
confidentiality with respect to the disclosure of confidential information of the Company.For the
purposes of this Section 11. 14, “Covered Persons” shall have the meaning set forth in the
Company’s Memorandum and Articles.
