NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

Party B hereby agrees to irrevocably authorize any entity or individual designated by Party A to exercise on its behalf all of the voting and other rights as a shareholder empowered by the law and Beijing Perusal’s articles of association at the shareholders’ meeting of Beijing Perusal, including without limitation any right regarding sale, transfer, pledge or disposal of all or part of Party B’s equity interests in Beijing perusal; convening, attending and presiding over shareholders’ meeting of Beijing perusal as an authorized representative of Beijing perusal’s shareholders, and designating and electing the general manager of Beijing Perusal as an authorized representative of the shareholders of Beijing Perusal at the shareholders’ meeting.

Party A agrees to designate any entity or individual permitted under applicable laws to accept the authorization of Party B under Article 1 hereof, and such entity or individual shall exercise Party B’s voting and other rights as a shareholder on behalf of Party B under this Agreement. As of the date hereof, Party A hereby designates Hailong Xiang as the authorized individual to exercise voting and other rights as a shareholder on behalf of Party B under this Agreement.

Party B hereby acknowledges that if Party A withdraws its designation of the authorized entity or individual, it shall immediately withdraw its authorization to such entity or individual, and authorize any other entity or individual designated by Party A to exercise all of its voting and other rights as a shareholder at the shareholders’ meeting of Beijing Perusal.

This Agreement shall remain valid as long as Party B is a holder of any equity interest in Beijing Perusal. During the term of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by law, Party B may not cancel, early terminate or end this Agreement.
