WHEREAS, Option Holder has delivered to the Company a Notice of Exercise with respect to Option Holder’s exercise of options (the
“Options”) to purchase an aggregate of 156,250 ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of the Company, for an exercise price of $1.5325 per share, share, as well as related fees and
costs, for a total payment of $241,953.13; and 
 WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the
Company is issuing the Shares in the name of the Option Holder; and 
 WHEREAS, the Option Holder Parties wish to provide
indemnification rights to the Company and other Indemnified Parties (as hereinafter defined) against any Claims or Taxes (as hereinafter defined) for which the Company or any other Indemnified Party may become liable in connection with the Option
Holder’s ownership, receipt, transfer or exercise of the Options (other than any Taxes imposed on the Company with respect to its receipt of the exercise price for the Options); and 

WHEREAS, as security for the obligations of the Option Holder Parties under this Agreement, the Option Holder Parties, the Company and
the Escrow Agent named therein are entering into a Securities Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) as of the date of this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, including the Company’s issuance of the
Shares to the Option Holder pursuant to the Option Holders’ exercise of the Option, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Obligation to Indemnify. Each of the Option Holder Parties, jointly and severally, shall be liable to and shall indemnify, defend and hold the Company and each of its subsidiaries, affiliates,
and variable interest entities, and their respective successors and permitted assigns (each, an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, judgments, damages, losses,
liabilities, costs or expenses (each, a “Claim” and collectively, the “Claims”) which may be made or brought against an Indemnified Party or which it may suffer or incur as a result of, arising out of or relating to
any Taxes required to be withheld, or alleged to be required to be withheld, by the Company and/or its affiliates, or for which the Company and/or any of its affiliates become liable, or are alleged to be liable, including any costs or expenses
incurred by the Company with respect to any inquiry by any governmental authority regarding any of the foregoing, in connection with the Option Holder’s receipt or exercise of the Options (other than any Taxes imposed on the Company with
respect to its receipt of the exercise price for the Options). 
 2. “Tax” or “Taxes” means
all net income, gross income, gross receipts, sales, use, ad valorem, transfer, excess profits, franchise, profits, license, withholding, payroll, employment, unemployment social security, excise, severance, stamp, occupation, premium, property,
disability, capital stock, capital gains or windfall profits taxes, customs duties or other taxes, fees, assessments or governmental charges of any kind whatsoever, together with any interest and penalties, additions to tax or additional amounts
imposed with respect thereto. 

 3. Notice of Claims. Upon obtaining knowledge thereof, an Indemnified Party (the
“Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify either or both of the Option Holder Parties (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any damage, claim, loss, liability or expense which the Indemnitee has determined has given or could
give rise to a Claim under Section 1 hereof (a “Notice of Claim”). A Notice of Claim shall specify, in reasonable detail, the nature and estimated amount of any such Claim giving rise to a right of indemnification. The omission
to so notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor from any duty to indemnify, defend and hold harmless which otherwise might exist with respect to such Claim unless (and only to the extent that) the omission to notify prejudices the
ability of the Indemnitor to exercise its right to defend provided in Section 5 hereof and results in a direct loss being incurred by the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Indemnitee (as well as to the
Company in the event that the Indemnitee is a party other than the Company) copies of all correspondence, pleadings, motions, briefs, appeals or other written statements relating to or submitted in connection with the defense of any such Claim and
timely notices of any hearing or other court proceeding relating to such Claim. 
 4. Recovery for Claims. If any
Indemnified Party has a claim that either or both of the Option Holder Parties is liable for any Claims, the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification shall provide a Notice of Claim, within 90 days of its discovery of the Claim, of the nature and
extent thereof, and the Option Holder Parties shall repay such Claim within 10 days thereafter or shall inform the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification that it is denying in good faith all or a portion of such Claim. If the Indemnified Party
seeking indemnification disputes the denial of any portion of such Claim, it may thereupon proceed to enforce its rights under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. 
 5. Defense of Third Party Claims. With respect to any Claim set forth in a Notice of Claim relating to a third party Claim, the Indemnitor may elect to defend, at its own expense, any such Claim;
provided, however, the Indemnitor shall not settle or compromise any claim, suit or action against any Indemnitee without the written consent of the Indemnitee, and the Indemnitee, at the expense of the Indemnitor, shall have the right to
participate in the defense of any such third party Claim. The Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnitor and its representatives all records and other materials reasonably required by them for use in contesting any third party Claim and shall
cooperate reasonably with the Indemnitor and its representatives in the defense of all such Claims. If the Indemnitor does not so elect to defend any such third party Claim, the Indemnitee may so elect, but shall have no obligation to do so. It is
agreed and understood that Indemnitor shall have the right to be informed of and consulted with respect to any communications of Indemnitee with governmental authorities regarding any Claim. 

6. Notice of Inquiry; Top Up Payments. 
 (a) If at any time the Company receives notice that any governmental authority is conducting an inquiry (an “Inquiry”) which may relate to the Option Holder’s ownership, receipt,
transfer or exercise of the Options or Shares, the Company will provide written notice thereof (an “Inquiry Notice”) to the Option Holder Parties. 
 (b) The Option Holder Parties shall, within 10 days after the date of the Inquiry Notice, deposit with the Company or the Company’s designee, in Renminbi cash, an amount (the “Top Up
Payment”) equal to (i) the greater of (x) the RMB Market Value (as defined below) of the Escrowed Shares (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) as of the date of this Agreement and (y) such other potential claim amount set
forth by the Company in its reasonable discretion in the Inquiry Notice (the “Potential Claim Amount”); minus (ii) the RMB Market Value of the Escrowed Shares as of the date of the Inquiry Notice. Subsequently, the Option
Holder Parties shall, by no later than the tenth (10th) day of each calendar month thereafter, deposit with the Company or the Company’s designee, in Renminbi cash, an amount equal to (i) the greater of (x) the RMB Market Value
of the Escrowed Shares as of the date of this Agreement and (y) the Potential Claim Amount; minus (ii) the sum of (x) the RMB Value of the Escrowed Shares as of the first day of such month and (y) the aggregate total of Top Up
Payments previously received by the Company or the Company’s designee. The RMB Market Value of the Escrowed Shares for a given date shall be equal to (i) one-half the closing price of the Company’s American depositary shares (adjusted
to reflect the number of ordinary shares represented by each ADS) on NASDAQ for such date, (ii) multiplied by the RMB:US dollar exchange rate on such date (based on the noon buying rate in New York for cable transfers of Renminbi as published
by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York), (iii) multiplied by the total number of Escrowed Shares.

 (c) Any failure of the Option Holder Parties to make the deposits with the Escrow Agent
required by this paragraph will constitute a default of the Option Holder Parties’ indemnification obligations under this Agreement, and an “Event of Default” under the Escrow Agreement. In addition to all other remedies available
under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to collect interest on any unpaid Top Up Payments at the rate of five (5%) percent per month. 
 (d) If at any time either of the Option Holder Parties receives notice of an Inquiry, the Option Holder Parties shall notify the Company, including setting forth in detail the nature of such notice,
within one business day of such Option Holder Party’s receipt of such notice. Any failure to so notify the Company will constitute a default in the Option Holder Parties’ indemnification obligations under this Agreement and an Event of
Default under the Escrow Agreement. 
 7. Pledge of Escrowed Shares. As security for its indemnification obligations
under this Agreement, each of the Option Holder Parties hereby pledges to the Company and grants to the Company a first priority security interest in the Escrowed Shares (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) and all proceeds of the Escrowed Shares
(collectively, the “Pledged Assets”). Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Option Holder has delivered or will deliver to the Company (as and if appropriate, for delivery to the Escrow Agent), (i) the
original share certificate(s) (if any) in respect of the Escrowed Shares, (ii) blank, signed and undated transfers in respect of the Escrowed Shares in the form set out in Annex 1, and (iii) such other documents of transfer as Company may
from time to time reasonably request to enable the Company, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a default in the payment, performance or observance of the indemnification obligations under this Agreement, to transfer into its name or
the name of its nominee the Escrowed Shares. 
 8. Remedies. 

(a) The Company may, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a default in the performance or observance of the indemnification
obligations under this Agreement, without notice and at its option, transfer or register the Pledged Assets or any part thereof into its or its nominee’s name with or without any indication that such Pledged Assets is subject to the lien
created hereunder. 
 (b) The Company shall have, in addition to any other rights given under this Agreement or any other
document or by applicable law, all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Pledged Assets of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York. In addition, after the occurrence of a
default in the performance or observance of the indemnification obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall have such powers of sale and other powers as may be conferred by applicable law. With respect to the Pledged Assets or any part
thereof which shall then be in or shall thereafter come into the possession or custody of the Company, or which the Company shall otherwise have the ability to transfer under applicable law, the Company may, in its sole discretion, without notice
except as specified below, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a default in the payment, performance or observance of the indemnification obligations under this Agreement, retain such Pledged Assets, or sell or cause the same to be
sold at any exchange, broker’s board or at public or private sale, in one or more sales or lots, at such price as the Company may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, without assumption of any credit risk, and the purchaser
of any or all of the Pledged Assets so sold shall thereafter own the same, absolutely free and clear from any subordinate claim, encumbrance or right of any kind whatsoever. The Option Holder Parties will pay to the Company all reasonable expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of, or incident to, the enforcement of any of the provisions hereof. The Company agrees to apply any proceeds of the sale of the Pledged Assets to the Obligations and the
Option Holder Parties shall remain liable for any deficiency following the sale of the Pledged Assets. 
 (c) In view of the
fact that applicable law and the Articles of Association of the Company impose certain restrictions on the method by which the Company may sell the Escrowed Shares, a sale of the Pledged Assets may be effected after a default in the performance or
observance of the indemnification obligations under this Agreement, the Option Holder Parties agree that after the occurrence and during the continuance of a default in the performance or observance of the indemnification obligations under this
Agreement, the Company may, from time to time, attempt to sell all or any part of the Pledged Assets by means of a private placement restricting the bidders and prospective purchasers to those who are qualified and will represent and agree that they
are purchasing for investment only and not for distribution. In so doing, the Company may solicit offers to buy the Pledged Assets, or any part of it, from a limited number of investors deemed by the Company, in its reasonable judgment, to be
financially responsible parties who might be interested in purchasing the Pledged Assets.

amount of the Escrow Balance subject to the Default Notice is less than the entire amount held by the Escrow Agent, and the share certificates held by the Escrow Agent do not contain the exact number of Original Escrowed Shares and Additional
Escrowed Shares claimed in the Default Notice, the Escrow Agent shall distribute to the Company in accordance with this section certificates with at least as many Original Escrowed Shares and Additional Escrowed Shares claimed and the Company agrees
that it shall issue a new certificate(s) and promptly return to the Escrow Agent such certificates representing any excess shares not subject to such Default Notice.

Shares until the fourth (4th) anniversary of the date of this Agreement. On such respective anniversary or, if such date does not fall on a business day, on the next succeeding business day, the Escrow Agent shall deliver at the written
direction of the Option Holder Parties all amounts of the Original Escrowed Shares or Additional Escrowed Shares, as applicable, that are not then the subject of a Default Notice or a Notice of Claim under the First Indemnification Agreement or the
Second Indemnification Agreement.

agent to hold the Escrow Balance, and any such successor escrow agent shall execute and deliver to the predecessor escrow agent an instrument accepting such appointment, upon which such successor agent shall, without further act, become vested with
all of the rights, powers and duties of the predecessor escrow agent as if originally named herein. If no successor escrow agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the termination or resignation of Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent may place all
of the Escrow Balance at the disposal of a court and petition the court to act as the successor escrow agent or to appoint another entity to act as the successor escrow agent. 
 (b) Upon delivery of the Escrow Balance to any successor Escrow Agent designated by the Option Holder Parties and the Company in writing, or to any court of competent jurisdiction, Escrow Agent shall be

the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the matters contemplated herein and therein, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect thereto. Any amendment, modification, or waiver of this Agreement shall

 8. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the Laws of the State of New York as applied to agreements among New York residents entered into and to be performed
entirely within New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws thereunder. Each of the parties hereto, other than the Escrow Agent, irrevocably (i) agrees that any dispute or controversy arising out of, relating to, or concerning
any interpretation, construction, performance or breach of this Agreement, shall be settled by arbitration to be held in the Hong Kong S.A.R. under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules in accordance with the HKIAC Procedures for the Administration of
International Arbitration in force at the date of this Agreement (the “Arbitration Rules”), (ii) waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of
any such arbitration, and (iii) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Hong Kong S.A.R. in any such arbitration. There shall be one (1) arbitrator, selected in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. The decision of the arbitrator
shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court having jurisdiction. The parties to the arbitration shall each pay an equal share of the costs and
expenses of such arbitration, and each party shall separately pay for its respective counsel fees and expenses. In the event of two or more arbitrations having been commenced under this Agreement, the tribunal in the arbitration first filed (the
“Principal Tribunal”) may in its sole discretion, upon the application of any party to the arbitrations, order that the proceedings be consolidated before the Principal Tribunal, which will have the jurisdiction to resolve all
disputes forming part of the consolidation order, if (i) there are issues of fact and/or law common to the arbitrations, (ii) the interests of justice and efficiency would be served by such a consolidation, and (iii) no prejudice
would be caused to any party in any material respect as a result of such consolidation, whether through undue delay or otherwise. Such application shall be made as soon as practicable and the party making such application shall give notice to the
other parties to the arbitrations.

more counterparts (delivery of which may occur via facsimile or as an attachment to an electronic mail message in “PDF” or similar format), each of which shall be binding as of the date first written above, and, when delivered, all of
which shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement and any amendments hereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or as an attachment to an electronic mail message in “PDF” or similar format,
shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. Each such copy shall be deemed an
original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. 

 10. Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto shall execute such further
instruments and take such other actions as any other party shall reasonably request in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement. 
 11. Binding Effect; Severability. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators.
