In addition, each Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any securities reported herein except to the extent such Reporting Person actually exercises voting or dispositive power with respect to such securities. Zhao Weiguo expressly disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to the 63,500,500 Class A ordinary shares beneficially owned by TU, TU Capital, and TU International.

In June 2015, TU International purchased the Shares from the Issuer in a private placement for a price per Class A Ordinary Share of US$1.95.

TU International purchased the Shares for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons expect to evaluate on an ongoing basis the Issuer’s financial condition and prospects and their respective interests in, and intentions with respect to, the Issuer and their respective investments in the securities of the Issuer, which review may be based on various factors including the Issuer’s business and financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Issuer’s securities in particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities. Accordingly, each Reporting Person reserves the right to change its intentions as it deems appropriate. In particular, each Reporting Person may at any time and from time to time, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, increase its holdings in the Issuer or dispose of all or a portion of the securities of the Issuer that the Reporting Persons now own or may hereafter acquire. In addition, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management and members of the Board regarding the Issuer, including, but not limited to, the Issuer’s business and financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The Reporting Persons may take positions with respect to and seek to influence the Issuer regarding the matters discussed above. Such suggestions or positions may include one or more plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions required to be reported herein.

Except as set forth in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons do, however, reserve the right in the future to adopt such plans or proposals subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

By virtue of the relationship described herein, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” for purposes of Rule 13 (d)(3) of the Act. As a member of a group, each Reporting Person may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to, and as a result beneficially own, the Shares beneficially owned by members of the group as a whole.

secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding Registration Statements relating to (i) any employee benefit plan or (ii) a corporate reorganization, merger or acquisition), then the Company shall notify all Holders in writing at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to such filing and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such Registration Statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. Each Holder wishing to include in any such Registration Statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder shall, within twenty (20) calendar days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such Registration Statement on the same terms and conditions as the Equity Securities of the Company included therein. If a Holder decides not to include all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include its Registrable Securities in any subsequent Registration Statement that may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities for its own account or for the account of another (other than the Holders), all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(c) With respect to a Registration Statement initiated by the Company for its own account, the Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw such registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration.

(d) The Company hereby represents and warrants that, except as contemplated under this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates has granted or agreed to grant to any Person any registration rights (including, without limitation, demand and piggyback registration rights) with respect to, and neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates is a party to, or is otherwise bound by, any agreement (whether oral or in writing) that requires the Company or any of its Affiliates to register under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or any other jurisdiction and/or list on any securities exchange, any Equity Securities of the Company or of any Affiliate of the Company.

(i) furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting Registration of Registrable Securities, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the outside counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders of Registrable Securities Then

(a) By the Company. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its officers, directors, employees, members, partners, and advisors and their respective Affiliates, each underwriter, broker or any other Person acting on behalf of such Holder and each other Person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing Persons within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or actions joint or several (or actions in respect thereof), to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state securities law, 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 (collectively a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto; (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein 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 the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any federal or state securities Law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any federal or state securities Law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement; and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, officer, director, employee, member, partner, and advisor and their respective Affiliates, each underwriter, broker or any other Person acting on behalf of such Holder or controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 10(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), 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 out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such foregoing Person.

(b) By the Selling Holders. Each selling Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, officers who have signed the registration statement and advisors and each of their respective Affiliates, each underwriter, broker, and each other Person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing Persons within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such foregoing Person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, 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 reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder under an instrument duly executed by such Holder and stated to be expressly for use in connection with

 

10


such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such foregoing Person in connection with defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 10(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the written consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, further, the total amounts payable in indemnity by a Holder under this Section 9(b) and Section 9(d) in respect of any Violation shall not exceed the net proceeds actually received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities out of which such Violation arises.

(c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 10 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 this Section 10, 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 parties; provided, however, an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the 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 conflict of 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 of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 10.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable Law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability 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 Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged 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 statement or omission; provided, however, in no event shall any contribution by a Holder hereunder, when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof, exceed the net proceeds actually received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities out of which such Violation arises.

(e) Survival. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 10 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement, and otherwise.

10. Rule 144 Reporting.

With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC which may at any time permit the Holders to sell Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times 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 SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); and

(c) furnish to each Holder upon request, as long as such Holder owns any Registrable Securities, (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and (B) a copy of the most recent periodic report of the Company and such other reports and documents of the Company as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration (at any time after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act).

If any Holder proposes to dispose any Class A Ordinary Shares then held by such Holder or convert any Class A Ordinary Shares to ADSs that can be offered to any Person without any restriction whatsoever, in each case pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly take all steps reasonably requested by such Holder in order to facilitate the timely disposition of such Class A Ordinary Shares or the conversion of such Class A Ordinary Shares into such ADSs pursuant to Rule 144, including without limitation (i) to cause an opinion of legal counsel to be prepared (at the Company’s expense) in customary form regarding the eligibility of such Holder to dispose such Class A Ordinary Shares or to convert such Class A Ordinary Share into such ADSs in each case pursuant to Rule 144 and (ii) to reasonably cooperate with such Holder and/or the Depositary, as applicable, to facilitate the timely disposition or conversion, as the case may be, of Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to Rule 144; provided, however, that such Holder shall provide written confirmation to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company’s outside counsel that such Holder proposed resale of any Class A Ordinary Shares then held by such Holder or conversion of any Class A Ordinary Shares to ADSs may be effected in accordance with the requirements of Rule 144 or another exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act or is not otherwise subject to any restrictions set forth in the Company’s insider trading policy.

11. No Additional Registration Rights. After the date hereof, the Company shall not, without first obtaining the written consent of the Holder or Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities Then Outstanding, grant registration rights on terms more favorable than the registration rights granted pursuant to this Agreement.

 

12


12. Miscellaneous.

(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages alone would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and further agree that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
