Now therefore, upon mutual discussion and negotiation, the Parties have reached the following agreement:

1.	Sale and Purchase of Equity Interest

1.1

Option Granted

Party B hereby irrevocably grants Party A an irrevocable and exclusive right to purchase, or designate one or more persons (each, a “Designee”) to purchase the equity interests in Party C then held by Party B once or at multiple times at any time in part or in whole at Party A’s sole and absolute discretion to the extent permitted by PRC laws and at the price described in Section 1.3 herein (such right being the “Equity Purchase Option”). Except for Party A and the Designee(s), no other person shall be entitled to the Equity Purchase Option or other rights with respect to the equity interests of Party B. Party C hereby agrees to the grant by Party B of the Equity Purchase Option to Party A. The term “person” as used herein shall refer to individuals, companies, joint ventures, partnerships, enterprises, trusts or non-corporate organizations.

1.2

Steps for Exercise of the Equity Purchase Option

Subject to the provisions of PRC laws and regulations, Party A may exercise the Equity Purchase Option by issuing a written notice to Party B (the “Equity Purchase Notice”), specifying:(a) Party A or the Designee’s decision to exercise the Equity Purchase Option; (b) the portion of equity interests to be purchased by

Party A or the Designee from Party B (the “Purchased Equity”); and (c) the date for purchasing the Purchased Equity or the date for the transfer of the Purchased Equity. Upon receipt of the Equity Purchase Notice, Party B shall transfer all the Purchased Equity to Party A and/or the Designee as set forth in Article 1.4 hereof.

1.3Purchase Price

The total price for the purchase by Party A of all equity interests in Party C held by Party B upon exercise of the Equity Purchase Option by Party A shall be RMB 8,000,000; if Party A exercises the Equity Purchase Option to purchase part of the equity interests held by Party B in Party C, then the purchase price shall be calculated on a pro rata basis. If at the time when Party A exercises the Equity Purchase Option, the minimum price permitted under PRC laws is higher than the aforementioned price, then the purchase price shall be such minimum price permitted by PRC laws (collectively, the “Purchase Price”).

1.4Transfer of Purchased Equity

For each exercise of the Equity Purchase Option by Party A:

1.4.1

Party B shall cause Party C to promptly convene a shareholders’ meeting, at which a resolution shall be adopted approving Party B’s transfer of the Purchased Equity to Party A and/or the Designee(s);

1.4.2

Party B shall obtain written statements from the other shareholders of Party C giving consent to the transfer of the Purchased Equity by Party B to Party A and/or the Designee(s) and waiving any right of first refusal with respect thereto;

1.4.3

Party B shall execute an equity interest transfer contract with respect to each transfer with Party A and/or each Designee (whichever is applicable), in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Equity Purchase Notice regarding the Purchased Equity, in the form and substance satisfactory to Party A and/or the Designee(s);

1.4.4

Party B shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Equity Purchase Notice, execute all necessary contracts, agreements or documents with relevant parties, obtain all necessary government approvals and permits, and take all necessary actions, so as to transfer valid ownership of the Purchased Equity to Party A and/or the Designee(s), unencumbered by any Security Interests, and cause Party A and/or the Designee(s) to become the registered owner(s) of the Purchased Equity. For the purpose of this Section and this Agreement, “Security Interests” shall include securities, mortgages, third party’s rights or interests, any stock options, acquisition right, right of first refusal, right to offset, ownership retention or other security arrangements, but shall be deemed to exclude any security interest created by this Agreement, Party B’s Equity Pledge Agreement and Party B’s Power of Attorney; “Party B’s Equity Pledge Agreement” as used in this Agreement shall refer to the Equity Pledge Agreement executed by and among Party A, Party B and Party C on the date hereof and any modification, amendment and restatement thereto.; “Party B’s Power of Attorney” as used in this Agreement shall refer to the Power of Attorney executed by Party B on the date hereof granting Party A with a power of attorney and any modification, amendment and restatement thereto.

1.5Payment

The Parties have agreed in the Loan Agreement that any proceeds obtained by Party B through the transfer of its equity interests in Party C shall be used for repayment of the loan provided by Party A (and any interest thereon) in accordance with the Loan Agreement. Accordingly, upon exercise of the Equity Purchase Option, Party A may make the payment of the Purchase Price by way of offset of the outstanding debts owed by Party B to Party A (including without limitation the outstanding amount of the loan owed by Party B to Party A and any interest thereon) (such debts, the “Offset Debts”), in which case Party A shall not be required to pay any additional purchase price to Party B, unless the Purchase Price set forth herein is required to be adjusted in accordance with the PRC laws. If the PRC laws impose mandatory requirements on the Purchase Price agreed under this Agreement, such that the minimum Purchase Price permitted under PRC laws exceeds the price already offset with the Offset Debts, Party B hereby waives its right to receive the amount of price that exceeds the amount offset with the Offset Debts.
