Such Power of Attorney shall be kept by Fenghuang On-line, which may request, whenever necessary, that more copies of such Power of Attorney be signed by the Existing Shareholders and submitted to the relevant government. Upon and only upon notification in writing from Fenghuang On-line to Existing Shareholders regarding the replacement of Trustee, Existing Shareholders shall forthwith cancel their authorization to the existing Trustee and authorize such other Trustee then appointed by Fenghuang On-line to sign on behalf of Existing Shareholders any and all legal documents required hereunder.
