(6) Party C constitutes the shareholders of Party B and has a 100% equity interest in Party B. Yang Dongjie and Ge Weiguo hold a 75% equity interest and a 25% equity interest respectively in Beijing Acorn.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual agreements contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. To ensure Party B’s daily operation and management, Party A agrees to provide guarantee for Party B’s obligations to a third party under any contract or agreement entered into between Party B and a third party or other transactions at the request of a third party and then a guarantee agreement will be entered into. Party B agrees to provide counter-guarantee with its accounts receivable and its assets in connection with the aforesaid Party A’s guarantee.

2. As a condition precedent to Article 1 hereof and to ensure the performance of other operation agreements between Party A and Party B (for example, the payment of Party B’s technical service fee), Party B and Party C (i.e., Party B’s shareholder) hereby agree that without the prior written consent of Party A, Party B shall not carry out any transaction which may materially affect its assets, obligations, rights or operation or management, including, but not limited to:

(1) borrow money from or assume debt for any third party;

(2) purchase or sell any assets or rights or interests from or to any third party, including, but not limited to, any intellectual property rights;

(3) provide any third party with guarantee interest in Party B’s assets or intellectual property rights;

(4) transfer to any third party any agreement with respect to Party B’s business.

3. To ensure the performance of other operation agreements between Party A and Party B (for example, the payment of Party B’s technical service fee), Party B and Party C (i.e., Party B’s shareholder) hereby agree to accept company policies and guidance provided by Party A from time to time with respect to Party B’s employment and dismissal of employees, daily operation and management and financial management policies.

4. Party B and Party C (i.e., Party B’s shareholder) hereby agree that: (1) the persons appointed by Party A or its affiliates will attend and exercise the voting right at the meeting of shareholder of Party B on behalf of Party C (i.e., Party B’s shareholder); (2)

2

Party B and Party C will appoint candidates nominated by Party A or its affiliates (including SB Asia Investment Fund II, L.P.) as Party B’s directors and undertake that the constitution of the board of directors of Party B and the directors’ rights shall be in consistency with those of the board of directors of Party A; (3) Party B will appoint persons employed and designated by Party A as Party B’s general manager and other senior management persons; (4) Party B and Party C will amend Party B’s articles of association in accordance with the above agreement. If such candidates as nominated by Party A or its affiliate no longer act as a director of Party A or its affiliate or are no longer employed by Party A or its affiliate, whether they are voluntarily resigned or dismissed by Party A, they will accordingly no longer hold any positions in Party B. In such case, Party B shall appoint other management persons employed or designated by Party A.

In such case, Party A shall have the right but no obligation to provide Party B with proper guarantee. If Party A does not provide such guarantee, it shall promptly send a written notice to Party B for Party B’s seeking guarantee from a third party. If Party A is willing to provide guarantee, Party A will enter into a contract with Party B or the parties may otherwise enter into a guarantee agreement. Party A’s warrant hereunder does not by itself constitute Party A’s obligation to act as a guarantor under any guarantee agreement which has not yet been signed by Party A.

6. If any of the agreements between Party A and Party B is expired or terminated, Party A shall have the right but no obligation to terminate all of the agreements between Party A and Party B, including but not limited to the Service Agreement.
