Restricted ADSs / Affiliate (Cusip # 759892995)
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
Reference is made to the Deposit Agreement, dated as of May 4, 2011, as amended and supplemented from time to time (the "Deposit Agreement"), by and among Renren Inc., a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the "Company"), Citibank, N.A., a national banking association ("Citibank") organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, as Depositary (the "Depositary"), and the Holders and Beneficial Owners of American Depositary Shares (the "ADSs") issued thereunder. All capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Deposit Agreement.
 
The Company desires to establish procedures to enable Affiliates of the Company, the names of which will be provided by the Company to the Depositary from time to time (the "Affiliate Holders"), to hold Shares that constitute Restricted Securities as Restricted ADSs. The Depositary agrees to accommodate the issuance of Restricted ADSs, provided that (a) the terms of deposit of the Restricted Securities for Restricted ADSs neither (i) prejudice any substantial rights of existing Holders and Beneficial Owners of ADSs under the Deposit Agreement, nor (ii) violate or conflict with any law, rule or administrative position applicable to the ADSs, and (b) the terms of the Deposit Agreement are supplemented as set forth in this Letter Agreement to establish procedures for the deposit of Restricted Securities by Affiliate Holders.
 
The purpose and intent of this Letter Agreement is to supplement the Deposit Agreement for the purpose of accommodating (i) the issuance of Restricted ADSs to the Affiliate Holders, (ii) the sale or transfer of such Restricted ADSs, and (iii) certain ancillary transactions further described below. The Company and the Depositary agree that this Letter Agreement shall be filed as an exhibit to the Company's next Registration Statement on Form F-6 filed in respect of the ADSs under the Securities Act, if any.
 
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Depositary hereby agree, notwithstanding the terms of the Deposit Agreement, as follows:
 
 
 

 
 
1.      Depositary Procedures. The Company consents, under Section 2.3 of the Deposit Agreement, to the deposit by each Affiliate Holder of up to the number of Shares listed opposite such Affiliate Holder's name on lists to be provided by the Company to the Depositary from time to time in writing together with a written request for the Depositary to accept the deposit of such Shares (which request shall not be unreasonably denied) (the "Restricted Shares") and the issuance and delivery by the Depositary of the corresponding number of Restricted ADSs in respect thereof in the form of Uncertificated ADSs, upon the terms of Section 2.13 of the Deposit Agreement, as supplemented by this Letter Agreement, to the Affiliate Holders or their respective designees. The Restricted ADSs described in the immediately preceding sentence and the Restricted Shares represented thereby are referred to herein as the "Designated Restricted ADSs" and the "Designated Shares", respectively. In connection with each deposit of Designated Shares and request for issuance of Designated Restricted ADSs the Company shall deliver to the Depositary a duly completed and signed Consent and Delivery Instruction substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, a "Consent and Delivery Instruction").
 
In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company instructs the Depositary, and the Depositary agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.14 of the Deposit Agreement as supplemented by this Letter Agreement, to (i) establish procedures to enable (x) the deposit of the Designated Shares with the Custodian by the Affiliate Holders as a valid deposit of Shares under the Deposit Agreement in order to enable the issuance by the Depositary to the Affiliate Holders of Designated Restricted ADSs issued under the terms of this Letter Agreement upon deposit of Designated Shares, and (y) the transfer of the Designated Restricted ADSs, the removal of the transfer and other restrictions with respect to Designated Restricted ADSs in order to create unrestricted ADSs, and the withdrawal of the Designated Shares, in each case upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Deposit Agreement as supplemented by the terms of this Letter Agreement, and (ii) to deliver an account statement (the "Account Statement") to the holders of Designated Restricted ADSs ("Restricted Holders") upon the issuance of the Designated Restricted ADSs, in each case upon the terms set forth herein. Nothing contained in this Letter Agreement shall in any way obligate the Depositary, or give authority to the Depositary, to accept any Shares other than the Designated Shares described herein for deposit under the terms hereof.
 
2.      Company Assistance. The Company agrees to (i) provide commercially reasonable assistance upon the request of and to the Depositary in the establishment of such procedures to enable the acceptance of the deposit by the Affiliate Holders of the Designated Shares, the issuance of Designated Restricted ADSs, the transfer of Designated Restricted ADSs, the withdrawal of the Designated Shares and the conversion of Designated Restricted ADSs into freely transferable ADSs, and (ii) take all commercially reasonable steps requested by the Depositary to ensure that the acceptance of the deposit of the Designated Shares, the issuance of the Designated Restricted ADSs, the transfer of the Designated Restricted ADSs, the conversion of Designated Restricted ADSs into freely transferable ADSs and the withdrawal of Designated. Shares, in each case upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, do not prejudice any substantial existing rights of Holders and Beneficial Owners of ADSs and do not violate the provisions of the Securities Act or any other applicable laws.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall at the time of execution of this Letter Agreement cause its Cayman Islands counsel to deliver an opinion to the Depositary as of the date hereof stating, inter alia, that (i) the Company has duly authorized and executed this Letter Agreement, (ii) this Letter Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company under Cayman Islands law enforceable against the Company upon its terms, (iii) all approvals required by Cayman Islands law to permit the deposit of Designated Shares under the Deposit Agreement and this Letter Agreement have been obtained, and (iv) the terms of this Letter Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Letter Agreement do not and will not contravene or conflict with any Cayman Islands law of general application.
 
3.      Limitations on Issuance of Restricted ADSs. The Company hereby instructs the Depositary, and the Depositary agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Letter Agreement, to issue and deliver Designated Restricted ADSs only (x) in the case of initial issuance upon receipt of (i) confirmation from the Custodian of the receipt of the due deposit of the Designated Shares by an Affiliate Holder, and (ii) payment of the applicable fees, taxes and expenses otherwise payable under the terms of the Deposit Agreement upon the deposit of Shares and the issuance of ADSs, and (y) in the event of any corporate action of the Company which results in the issuance of Restricted ADSs to the holder(s) of the Designated Restricted ADSs.
 
The Depositary shall cause the Designated Restricted ADSs issued upon the deposit of Designated Shares to be separately identified on the books of the Depositary under CUSIP # 759892995 and the Designated Shares to be held, to the extent practicable, separate and distinct by the Custodian from the other Deposited Securities held by the Custodian in respect of the ADSs issued under the Deposit Agreement that are not Restricted ADSs. The Depositary is hereby authorized and directed (notwithstanding the terms of Section 2.14 of the Deposit Agreement) to issue the Designated Restricted ADSs as Uncertificated ADSs registered in the books of the Depositary in the name of the Affiliate Holders or their designees for the benefit of the Affiliate Holders subject to the restrictions specified in Section 4 below.
 
4.      Stop Transfer Notation and Legend. The books of the Depositary shall identify the Designated Restricted ADSs as "restricted" and shall contain a "stop transfer" notation to that effect. The Account Statement to be sent by the Depositary to the Restricted Holders upon the issuance of Designated Restricted ADSs shall contain the following legend:
 
THE RESTRICTED AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES ("RESTRICTED ADSs") CREDITED TO YOUR ACCOUNT AND THE UNDERLYING RESTRICTED SHARES ("RESTRICTED SHARES") OF THE COMPANY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THE LETTER AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF OCTOBER 20, 2011 (THE "RESTRICTED LETTER AGREEMENT") AND THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF MAY 4, 2011, AS AMENDED AND SUPPLEMENTED (AS SO AMENDED AND SUPPLEMENTED, THE "DEPOSIT AGREEMENT").

NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR THE DEPOSITARY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF THE EXEMPTION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT FOR RESALE OF THE RESTRICTED SHARES OR THE RESTRICTED ADSs. A COPY OF THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT AND OF THE RESTRICTED LETTER AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE DEPOSITARY OR THE COMPANY UPON REQUEST.
