) until I find a replacement for the said Vice General Manager position, or (b) directly or indirectly participate in or assist any business which is a current or potential (i) supplier,
(ii) customer, or (iii) competitor of any member of the Company Group. I agree that I will use my best endeavors to find a replacement for the said Vice General Manager position in the shortest time possible. 
 B. I agree that during the term of my employment with the WFOE (whether or not during business hours) and for one year thereafter, I will not engage in
any activity that is in any way competitive with the business or demonstrably anticipated business of any member of the Company Group, and I will not assist any other person or organization in competing or in preparing to compete with any business

 A. Upon termination of my
employment, I will promptly return to the WFOE all items containing or embodying Confidential Information (including all copies), except that I may keep my personal copies of (i) my compensation records, (ii) materials distributed to

member of the Company Group that I possess or create as a result of my employment by the WFOE, whether or not confidential, are the sole and exclusive property of the Company Group. In the event of the termination or expiration of my employment by
the WFOE, I will promptly deliver all such materials to the Company Group.

own or any third party’s confidential information or intellectual property when acting within the scope of my employment or otherwise on behalf of the Company Group, the Company Group will have and I hereby grant the Company Group a perpetual,
irrevocable, worldwide royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable right and license to exploit and exercise all such confidential information and intellectual property rights. 
 C. I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict with this Agreement or my employment with

preferred stock of China Digital TV Technology Co. Ltd. and/or common stock issued upon the conversion of such series A preferred stock) in writing hereafter, use or disclose my own or any third party’s confidential information or intellectual

 5. Miscellaneous 
 A. I agree that this Agreement is not an employment contract and does not purport to set forth all of the terms and conditions of my employment. However, the terms of this Agreement shall supercede any inconsistent
terms and can only be changed by a subsequent written agreement signed by both the WFOE’s Chairman of the Board and SAIF (as long as SAIF holds directly or indirectly at least 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the series A preferred
stock of China Digital TV Technology Co. Ltd. and/or common stock issued upon the conversion of such series A preferred stock). 
 B. I agree
that my obligations under paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 of this Agreement shall continue in effect after termination of my employment, regardless of the reason or reasons for termination, and whether such termination is voluntary or involuntary on my part,
and that the WFOE is entitled to communicate my obligations under this Agreement to any future employer or potential employer of mine. My obligations under paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 also shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, assigns, and
administrators and shall inure to the benefit of the Company Group members, their subsidiaries, successors and assignees. 
 C. I agree that
if one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be illegal or unenforceable under applicable law of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, such illegal or unenforceable portion(s) shall be limited or excluded from this Agreement to the
minimum extent required so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms. I also understand that any breach of this Agreement will cause irreparable harm to the Company Group for
which damages would not be an adequate remedy, and, therefore, the Company Group will be entitled to injunctive relief with respect thereto in addition to any other remedies. 
 D. I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AND I UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THE OBLIGATIONS WHICH IT IMPOSES UPON ME WITHOUT RESERVATION. NO PROMISES OR
REPRESENTATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO ME TO INDUCE ME TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT. I SIGN THIS AGREEMENT VOLUNTARILY AND FREELY, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT ONE COUNTERPART WILL BE RETAINED BY THE WFOE, ONE COUNTERPART WILL BE RETAINED BY SAIF, AND ONE
COUNTERPART WILL BE RETAINED BY ME.

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

  

	(b)	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 the Indemnitee shall have been adjudicated by final
judgment in a court of law to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his 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, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such Expenses as such court shall deem proper;

 4

 SECTION 5 
 INDEMNIFICATION PROCESSES 
  

	5.1	Notice and Cooperation By The Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made against the Indemnitee for which
indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. Notice to the Company shall be given in accordance with Section 20 below. In addition, the Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as the Company may
reasonably request, including documentation and information necessary to establish that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder. 

  

	5.2	Payment of Indemnifiable Amounts.  

  

	 	(a)	Reimbursement of Expenses. To the extent the Indemnitee has not requested any advanced payment of the Indemnifiable Expenses from the Company, the Indemnitee shall be
entitled to receive Indemnifiable Amounts incurred in connection with a Proceeding from the Company as soon as practicable after the Indemnitee makes a written request to the Company for reimbursement. Such written request shall specify the
Indemnifiable Amounts for which the Indemnitee seeks payment under Section 3 above and the basis for the claim. 

  

	 	(b)	 Determination by the Reviewing Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the Company under Section 3 above shall be subject to the
condition that the Reviewing Party shall not have determined (in a written opinion, in any case in which the Independent Counsel referred to in Section 5.2(c) below is involved) that the Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under
applicable law or the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commences legal proceedings in a court of competent 

  

 5 

	 	 
jurisdiction to secure a determination that the Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that the
Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding and the Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any advanced Indemnifiable Expenses until a final judicial determination is made with
respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed). The Indemnitee’s obligation to reimburse the Company for any advanced Indemnifiable Expenses shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged
thereon. If there has not been a Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be selected by the Board, and if there has been such a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control which has been approved by a majority of the Board who were
directors immediately prior to such Change in Control), the Reviewing Party shall be the Independent Counsel referred to in Section 5.2(c) below. 

  

	 	(c)	Change in Control. The Company agrees that if there is a Change in Control of the Company (other than a Change in Control which has been approved by a majority of the
Company’s Board who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control) then, with respect to all matters thereafter arising concerning the rights of the Indemnitee to payments of Expenses under this Agreement or any other agreement or
under the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association as now or hereafter in effect, Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Indemnitee and approved by the Company. Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to
the Company and the Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent the Indemnitee would be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law, and the Company agrees to abide by such opinion. 

  

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

  

 6 

	5.4	Defense to Indemnification. It shall be a defense to any action brought by the 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. 

  

	5.5	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 the
Indemnitee without the other party’s written consent. Neither the Company nor the Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed settlement. 

  

	5.6	Company Participation. 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. 

 SECTION 6 
 INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES OF A PARTY WHO IS WHOLLY OR 
 PARTLY SUCCESSFUL 
 Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, and without limiting any such provision, to the extent that the Indemnitee is, by reason of the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party to and is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, the Indemnitee
shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection therewith. If the Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but
less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. In
each case, the indemnifiable Expenses under this Section 6 shall be offset by the amount of cash, if any, received by the Indemnitee from his success therein. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such
a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter. 
 SECTION 7 
 EFFECT OF CERTAIN RESOLUTIONS 
 Neither the settlement nor termination of any Proceeding nor the failure of the Company to award indemnification or of the Reviewing Party to determine that indemnification is payable shall create an adverse
presumption that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. In addition, the termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not
create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct. 
  

 7 

 SECTION 8 
 AGREEMENT TO ADVANCE EXPENSES; CONDITIONS 
 The Company shall pay to the Indemnitee all Indemnifiable Expenses
incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding, including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company, in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding, as the same are incurred. The Indemnitee hereby undertakes to
(i) repay the amount of Indemnifiable Expenses paid to the Indemnitee if it is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indemnitee is not entitled under this Agreement to indemnification with respect to such Expenses,
and (ii) return any excess of the advanced Expenses over the actual Indemnifiable Expense. This undertaking is an unlimited general obligation of the Indemnitee. 
 SECTION 9 
 PROCEDURE FOR ADVANCE PAYMENT OF EXPENSES 
 The Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request specifying the Indemnifiable Expenses for which the Indemnitee seeks an advancement under Section 8
above, together with documentation evidencing that the Indemnitee has incurred such Indemnifiable Expenses. Payment of Indemnifiable Expenses under Section 8 above shall be made no later than ten (10) business days after the
Company’s receipt of such request. 
 SECTION 10 
 REMEDIES OF INDEMNITEE 
  

	10.1	Right to Petition Court. In the event that the Indemnitee makes a request for advancement or payment of Indemnifiable Amounts under this Agreement and the Company fails to
make such advancement or payment in a timely manner pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the Company’s obligations under this Agreement. 

  

	10.2	Burden of Proof. In any judicial proceeding brought under Section 10.1 above, the Company shall have the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to
advancement or payment of Indemnifiable Amounts hereunder. 

  

	10.3	Expenses. The Company agrees to reimburse the Indemnitee in full for any Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with investigating,
preparing for, litigating, defending or settling any action brought by the Indemnitee under Section 10.1 above, or in connection with any claim or counterclaim brought by the Company in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Company
is not obligated to reimburse the Indemnitee for any Expenses under this Section 10.3 if the Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such suit or action. 

  

	10.4	Failure to Act Not a Defense. The failure of the Company (including the Board or any committee thereof, Reviewing Party, Independent Counsel or shareholders) to make a
determination concerning the permissibility of the payment of Indemnifiable 

  

 8 

	    	Amounts or the advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses under this Agreement shall not be a defense in any action brought under Section 10.1 above, and shall not create a
presumption that such payment or advancement is not permissible. 

 SECTION 11 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY 
 The
Company hereby represents and warrants to the Indemnitee that the Company has all necessary power and authority to enter into, and be bound by the terms of, this Agreement, and the execution, delivery and performance of the undertakings contemplated

 SECTION 12

	12.1	Liability Insurance. The Company shall 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. To the extent the Company determines that it is no longer
practicable for the Company to maintain such insurances, it shall notify promptly its directors and officers before it terminates such insurances and such termination must be approved by the majority of the Company’s directors.

	12.3	No Obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain any director and officer insurance policy if a majority of the

such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit, or (iii) the Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance maintained by a parent or subsidiary of the Company.

 SECTION 14 
 ASSIGNMENT AND SUCCESSORS

 SECTION 18 
 FEDERAL PREEMPTION 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing,
both the Company and the 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. Such
instances include, but are not limited to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s prohibition on indemnification for liabilities arising under certain U.S. federal securities laws. The Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the
Company has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 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 the Indemnitee.
