We anticipate the Company will enter into investment letters with up to [five] other investors (together with you. 'Investors") over
the next 30 days such that the Company will have funds for investment of between US$50 and 80 million.
Investment proposition: The Company will seek to invest its kinds in holding the equity securities of privately-held consumer
Internet companies (investments") as determined by the board of the Company. It is intended that the funds will have been
fully invested within six months, prior to which the funds will be deposited with commercial banks on an interest-eaming basis.
To the extent any funds (including all interest earned on funds prior to making the Investments and on any uninvested funds)
have not been invested by 31 December 2012 (the "final investment date"), they will be repaid promptly to Investors in
proportion to the amounts they transferred to the Company ("investment proportion?). No gambling or alcohol related
investments may be made by the Company.
Return on Investments: Until the full investment amount transferred to the Company by the Investors has been repaid (pan
passu as between all Investors), all distributions and sales proceeds from Investments (net of all costs directly associated with
making or realising investments, including any taxes, duties and similar charges (*transaction costs")) will be applied in
repayment to all Investors, in their investment proportions, promptly upon receipt by the Company in respect of each
Investment. Thereafter 70 per cent. of all distributions and sales proceeds from Investments (net of transaction costs) will be
paid to Investors in their investment proportions promptly upon receipt by the Company in respect of each Investment, and the
remaining 30 per cent. will be retained by the Company.
If. on 28 February 2017 (the 'termination date"), the Company holds any Investment (Remaining Investment". which shall
include the securities comprising that Investment and any cash realised from Investment(s)), the Remaining Investment will be
transferred to Investors (net of transaction costs) in their investment proportions on the following basis: (1) to the extent
applicable on the termination date, the Remaining Investment will be so transferred to Investors until the full investment
amounts originally transferred by them have been repaid; (2) thereafter, 70 per cent. of any balance of the Remaining
Investment will be so transferred to Investors, and 30 per cent. will be retained by the Company; and (3) for these purposes, the
Company will determine the value of the Remaining Investment using: (i) the price of the most recent issue of new securities or
sale of existing securities subsequent to, and comprising, that Investment which was in respect of no less than 0.5 per cent. of
the issued equity securities of the company concerned (being, for each Investment, its 'valuation"); or (ii) in the event that an
Investment does not have a valuation, the price of the most recent issue of new securities or sale of existing securities
comprising that Investment.
In the event that each of the Directors (as defined below): (1) dies or becomes immediately and permanently incapacitated so
severely that it is impossible for him to act as a director of the Company ('permanently incapacitated' here shall include having a
bankruptcy order made against him by a °our( in England, Hong Kong, or Germany); (2) is certified, in a written opinion by a
registered medical practitioner treating the Director concerned, that he has become physically or mentally incapable of acting as
a director of the Company and may remain so for more than three months; or (3) together with the other Director, no longer
directly or indirectly controls over 50 per cent. of the issued shares of the Company ("contrc4"), then the provisions of the
immediately preceding paragraph shall apply. The termination date shall be: in the case of (1), the date of the death or
permanent incapacity of the second Director; in the case of (2), the date of the medical certificate relating to the second
Director: or, in the case of (3), the date at which the Company's shareholder register is updated to reflect that the Directors no
longer control the Company. Should the termination date occur before the final investment date, the provisions under
'Investment proposition' above relating to retum of uninvested funds shall also apply. The articles of association of the
Company have been amended to include a provision that, should any event described in (1)-(3) above occur, the Company's
administrator (currently Trust Corporation of the Channel Islands Limited) will automatically have individual(s) appointed as
directors to implement the provisions of this letter including transferring any Investments.
