In furtherance of the foregoing, subject to the Parties first complying with the obligations of the previous sentence, each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts, at its own expense, to defend, contest, appeal and resist any such Action and to have any such Action or Law vacated, lifted, reversed, removed or repealed (including by seeking any appropriate Consents).

(d) In the event that any Person commences a Private Action that seeks, or could result in, a Private Action Order, each Party against which the Private Action is brought shall use its reasonable best efforts to contest, resist, oppose and defend against such Private Action and against the entry of any Private Action Order so as to allow the Transactions to be consummated as contemplated by the Transaction Documents without the imposition of any further conditions or requirements. If any Private Action Order is issued or entered, (1) each Party against which such Private Action Order has been made (and each other Party specifically required to take an action as a condition to the lifting of such Private Action Order) shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such Private Action Order lifted, vacated, reversed, repealed or removed as promptly as possible and in any event prior to the Seller Outside End Date and (2) Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to comply with all of the requirements of such Private Action Order including, in the case of a Private Action Order other than a Temporary Private Action Order, immediately and, in the case of a Temporary Private Action Order, commencing at the later of (x) the effective date of such Temporary Private Action Order and (y) the date that is two (2) months after the date of this Agreement, satisfying any conditions or requirements to the lifting, removal, or satisfaction of such Private Action Order imposed or implied thereby (including by seeking any Consents, including Consents from members, partners, shareholders or Affiliates of such Party, as applicable) so as to permit the consummation of the Transactions as promptly as possible such that the Transactions may proceed notwithstanding such Private Action Order.

(e) None of the Parties shall be required to take any action pursuant to Section 4.4(c) or 4.4(d) to the extent it would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of such Party and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(f) Each Party shall bear its own filing and other Expenses incurred with respect to any filings made pursuant to this Section.

(g) Each Party shall, without further consideration (unless otherwise provided for herein), take or cause to be taken such further actions, and shall execute, deliver and file or cause to be delivered and filed such further documents and instruments, and shall obtain such consents, as may be reasonably required or requested by a Party in order to effectuate the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission at any time requests that Yahoo! file any or all of the exhibits to this Agreement that Yahoo! has not filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, then Yahoo! will seek and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain confidential treatment of such exhibits by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the longest confidentiality term possible and shall promptly notify Purchaser of any such request and allow Purchaser the opportunity to review and comment on the submission of the confidential treatment request.

(h) Each Party shall cooperate with the other Party in connection with the actions contemplated by this Section 4.4 that are required to be taken with respect to any Governmental Authority in order to obtain approvals or clearances to consummate the Transactions, including to keep the other Party reasonably apprised of the status of the matters contemplated by this Section 4.4(h).

Each of the Parties agrees that no press release or similar public announcement, disclosure or communication shall be made concerning the terms of the Transactions, except (i) solely to the extent requested or required to comply with the requirements of applicable Law or applicable stock exchange regulations (including stock exchange, SFC and other regulations applicable to Yahoo! or Alibaba.com Limited), or (ii) if the Parties have consulted and approved such announcement, disclosure or communication in advance of its public disclosure. The Parties acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Yahoo! may file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 8-K and other U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission forms summarizing the material terms of this Agreement and otherwise complying with the requirements of such forms. Yahoo! will provide a draft of such Form 8-K to Purchaser at a reasonable time in advance of its filing and will consider in good faith any comments from Purchaser thereto.

4.6 Financing.

(a) Purchaser shall keep Yahoo! reasonably informed with respect to Purchaser’s plan for financing the Initial Repurchase (including nature, amount and anticipated timing) and with respect to the status of such financing. No later than five Business Days prior to the Initial Repurchase Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Yahoo! the Financing Certificate and provide Yahoo! with an opportunity to review (in person at the offices of Purchaser’s U.S. counsel), but not to make copies of or retain, the equity financing documents relevant to calculating the Repurchase Price. Purchaser may withdraw and may replace any previously-delivered Financing Certificate; provided, however, that Purchaser shall keep Yahoo! informed of such withdrawal or replacement as soon as reasonably practicable after such occurrence and in any event prior to the Initial Repurchase Closing Date.

(b) In the event that, (i) during the Replacement Equity Financing Period, Purchaser sells, or enters into a binding written agreement to sell, Equity Interests for proceeds of more than US$500,000,000 (such financing during such time period, “Subsequent Equity Financing”) and (ii) at any time during the Replacement Equity Use Period Purchaser uses any proceeds of such Subsequent Equity Financing to repurchase Equity Interests or to (x) redeem or repay indebtedness of any of Purchaser’s Subsidiaries incurred after the date of this Agreement or (y) redeem or repay indebtedness of Purchaser (any Subsequent Equity Financing meeting the conditions set forth in both of clauses (i) and (ii), “Replacement Equity Financing”), Purchaser shall, within five Business Days of such repurchase, redemption or repayment, pay to Yahoo! and/or YHK, as applicable, an amount in cash equal to each Seller’s pro rata share of the Make Whole Amount.

4.7 Disposition on Qualified IPO.

(a) In connection with a Qualified IPO, Yahoo! and YHK shall, at Purchaser’s election, either: (i) sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to Purchaser, free and clear of all Liens, the IPO Disposition Shares at a price per share equal to the IPO Repurchase Price (an “IPO Repurchase”), or (ii) concurrently with the consummation of the Qualified IPO, sell the IPO Disposition Shares directly in the Qualified IPO (an “IPO Sale”). The allocation of Shares to be sold by Yahoo! and/or YHK in connection with an IPO Repurchase or IPO Sale shall be determined at Yahoo!’s discretion, but Yahoo! shall be liable for the delivery of the full amount of such Shares.

(b) In order to elect to cause Sellers to participate in and complete an IPO Sale, Purchaser shall provide written notice to Yahoo! of such election by no later than 10 Business Days prior to the commencement of marketing efforts by the underwriters with respect to a Qualified IPO (the “IPO Sale Notice”). If Purchaser timely delivers an IPO Sale Notice to Yahoo!, each Seller shall execute, deliver and perform its obligations under (i) the underwriting agreement between the managing underwriter and Purchaser with respect to such Qualified IPO (on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Yahoo! (with terms and conditions customary for initial public offering underwritings in the market in which the Qualified IPO is to occur being presumed to be reasonably acceptable to Yahoo!, subject to Sections 4.7(d)(i) and 4.7(d)(ii))), (ii) a lock-up agreement on terms no less favorable to Yahoo! than the terms of the lock-up agreement executed by JM, JT and SB in connection with such Qualified IPO, pursuant to which Sellers shall agree not to sell or otherwise transfer any Shares during the period of time

specified in such lock-up agreement (such period not to exceed the shorter of (x) the shortest period specified in any lock-up agreement executed by JM, JT, SB or Purchaser in connection with such Qualified IPO and (y) twelve months, and which lock-up shall include a provision that the underwriters shall not release JT, JM, SB or Purchaser from any such lock-up agreement or waive such Person’s obligations thereunder without concurrently releasing or waiving such obligations of each Seller from its lock-up agreement), and (iii) all other documents customarily required of a selling shareholder in an underwritten public offering, including a power of attorney and custody agreement; provided, that Sellers shall not be required to make any representations regarding Purchaser or Purchaser’s Subsidiaries.

(c) Unless Purchaser timely delivers an IPO Sale Notice to Yahoo! in connection with a Qualified IPO, Purchaser and Sellers shall consummate the IPO Repurchase (the “IPO Repurchase Closing”) on the third Business Day after the completion of such Qualified IPO. At the IPO Repurchase Closing, (i) each Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser share certificates representing all of the IPO Disposition Shares free and clear of any Liens, (ii) the Purchaser shall make entries in its register of members to record and give effect to the repurchase and cancellation of the IPO Disposition Shares, and (iii) Purchaser shall deliver in accordance with the Cash Payment Procedures an amount in cash to Yahoo! equal to the IPO Repurchase Price multiplied by the number of IPO Disposition Shares (the “Aggregate IPO Repurchase Consideration”). Unless the IPO Sale Notice has been delivered, the obligations to consummate the IPO Repurchase Closing as set forth in this Section 4.7 shall be unconditional, and no further repurchase agreement or other agreement (other than as may be requested by Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.7(d)) shall be required to consummate the IPO Repurchase Closing. All deliveries to be made or other actions to be taken at the IPO Repurchase Closing shall be deemed to occur simultaneously with the other deliveries and actions at the IPO Repurchase Closing.

(d) Sellers shall execute and deliver such additional customary documents, instruments, certificates, filings and agreements and take such additional actions as are reasonably necessary to permit to occur a Qualified IPO, an IPO Repurchase or an IPO Sale or the debt or equity financing of an IPO Repurchase and which do not impose commercially unreasonable terms or conditions on Sellers; provided that:

(i) In connection with a Qualified IPO or IPO Sale, Sellers shall not be required to execute and deliver any such documents, instruments, certificates, filings and agreements or take any such additional actions that (a) are not customarily executed, delivered or taken by shareholders of a listing applicant that are not the “controlling shareholder” (within the meaning of such term or a similar term under the listing rules of the stock exchange on which the Qualified IPO or IPO Sale occurs (including, if applicable, the Hong Kong Listing Rules) or the applicable Laws of the jurisdiction in which the Qualified IPO or IPO Sale occurs); provided that the foregoing shall not relieve the Sellers and their Affiliates from their obligations, if any, as “substantial shareholders” or “connected persons” (within the meaning of such terms or similar terms under the listing rules of the stock exchange on which the Qualified IPO or IPO Sale occurs (including, if applicable, the Hong Kong Listing Rules) or the applicable Laws of the jurisdiction in which the Qualified IPO or IPO Sale occurs), (b) would alter

the terms of the Preference Shares (if Sellers own any Preference Shares at that time), or (c) would alter any rights or obligations of Sellers under any of the Transaction Documents except as contemplated by such Transaction Document;

(ii) Sellers shall not be required to execute and deliver any such documents, instruments, certificates, filings and agreements or to take any such actions that would give rise to (i) any obligations imposed on the Sellers or their Affiliates as “controlling shareholder” (within the meaning of such term or a similar term under the listing rules of the stock exchange on which the Qualified IPO or IPO Sale occurs (including, if applicable, the Hong Kong Listing Rules) or the applicable Laws of the jurisdiction in which the Qualified IPO or IPO Sale occurs) of the Purchaser upon completion of an IPO; provided that the foregoing shall not relieve the Sellers and their Affiliates from their obligations as “substantial shareholders” or “connected persons” (within the meaning of such term or a similar term under the listing rules of the stock exchange on which the Qualified IPO or IPO Sale occurs (including, if applicable, the Hong Kong Listing Rules) or the applicable Laws of the jurisdiction in which the Qualified IPO or IPO Sale occurs), or (ii) any non-competition obligations and any obligations to designate business opportunities to the Purchaser.

The Purchaser shall provide Yahoo! and YHK a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any documentation customarily required from selling shareholders for the consummation of the Qualified IPO or an IPO Sale.

(e) In connection with a Qualified IPO, Purchaser shall, prior to Purchaser’s selection of any joint global coordinator with respect to such Qualified IPO, deliver a written request to Yahoo! that Yahoo! select an Eligible Bank (the “Specified Bank Request”), and Yahoo! shall deliver a written notice to Purchaser identifying one Eligible Bank within three Business Days of delivery of the Specified Bank Request (the “Specified Bank Notice”). Within two Business Days of receipt of Specified Bank Notice, Purchaser shall deliver a written notice to Yahoo! either (i) confirming that the Eligible Bank identified in the Specified Bank Notice is acceptable to Purchaser or (ii) rejecting the Eligible Bank identified in the Specified Bank Notice, in which event, within two Business Days of receipt of such rejection notice, Yahoo! shall deliver a new Specified Bank Notice to Purchaser that identifies an Eligible Bank that has not been rejected by Purchaser (in the current or any prior application of this sentence), and this sentence shall apply to such Specified Bank Notice and any successive Specified Bank Notice; provided, that Purchaser is entitled to reject only (x) one Eligible Bank for any or no reason and (y) up to two additional Eligible Banks if such Eligible Bank has acted or is acting as a global coordinator, book runner or lead manager for a capital markets transaction with a Specified Company (provided that Purchaser shall not be entitled to reject an Eligible Bank under this subclause (y) in the event that a global coordinator selected by Purchaser for the Qualified IPO acted or is acting as a global coordinator, book runner or lead manager for a capital markets transaction with such Specified Company); provided, further, that if Purchaser has rejected any of the Eligible Banks under the foregoing subclause (y) and Purchaser subsequently selects a joint global coordinator with respect to such Qualified IPO who acted or is acting as a global coordinator, book runner, or lead manager for a capital markets transaction with such Specified Company, then Yahoo! may elect to change its Specified Bank by delivering a Specified Bank

Notice pursuant to the foregoing procedure and Purchaser shall not be entitled to reject pursuant to the foregoing subclause (y) any Eligible Bank identified in such Specified Bank Notice. “Specified Bank” means (i) if Purchaser confirms that an Eligible Bank identified in a Specified Bank Notice is acceptable to Purchaser, or if Purchaser fails to confirm or reject an Eligible Bank in the time required, the Eligible Bank identified in such Specified Bank Notice, (ii) if Purchaser rejects one or two Eligible Banks in accordance with the previous sentence, the Eligible Bank (which shall not be any of the rejected Eligible Banks) identified by Yahoo! to Purchaser in a subsequent Specified Bank Notice and confirmed by Purchaser as acceptable to Purchaser; or (iii) if Purchaser rejects three Eligible Banks in accordance with the previous sentence, the Eligible Bank (which shall not be any of the rejected Eligible Banks) identified by Yahoo! to Purchaser in the Specified Bank Notice delivered to Purchaser within two Business Days of such third rejection. Except as otherwise consented to by Yahoo! (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), the Specified Bank will receive or be provided with underwriting fees in an amount not less than the amount received by the third-most- highly- compensated underwriter in the Qualified IPO; provided that if the Specified Bank is offered an opportunity to provide financing, but does not provide financing, at the same or greater level as at least one of the three most highly compensated underwriters in the Qualified IPO, in any financing of Purchaser (or the entity that is the subject of the Qualified IPO) obtained at or near the time of the Qualified IPO, then fees paid to the Specified Bank shall be determined by Purchaser in its sole, reasonable discretion.

4.8 Specified Tax Matters.

(a) No Withholding. Except to the extent otherwise required by a change in applicable Law after the date hereof, payment by Purchaser of the Aggregate Purchase Consideration, the Make Whole Amount, the Aggregate IPO Repurchase Consideration and the TIPLA Amendment Closing Consideration and any Tax sharing payments made by the Parties pursuant to this Section 4.8 shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any withholding Taxes. Each Party shall provide written notice to the other Party at least 10 Business Days prior to any such deduction or withholding of Taxes, and the Parties shall cooperate and take any action reasonably requested by the other Party in order to minimize or eliminate such withholding Taxes to the extent permitted by applicable Law. If such Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld as a result of a change in applicable Law then, within 10 Business Days after timely remitting such withheld amounts to the applicable Governmental Authority, the Party that made such withholding shall deliver to the Party in respect of which the withholding was made a certified copy of any receipt issued by the Governmental Authority evidencing such remittance, a certified copy of the return reporting such remittance, or other written evidence of such remittance reasonably satisfactory to the Party in respect of which the withholding was made.

(b) Responsibility for Taxes. Subject to paragraphs (c) and (d) below, each Party shall be exclusively responsible for and shall pay any Taxes (including PRC Capital Gains Tax) imposed primarily on such Party or such Party’s Affiliates with respect to the Initial Repurchase, an IPO Repurchase or an IPO Sale; provided that a Party (or its Affiliate) shall not be deemed to be primarily liable for any Taxes for which it is liable solely in its capacity as a withholding agent with respect to payments made to any other Party to the extent such withholding obligation arises as a result of a change in applicable Law after the date hereof.

(i) In the event PRC Capital Gains Tax is imposed on Yahoo! or any of its Affiliates with respect to the Initial Repurchase, Purchaser shall pay to Yahoo! the Anticipated AGH PRC Tax Payment within 10 Business Days following the receipt by Purchaser of a written notice from Yahoo! evidencing payment by Yahoo! or any of its Affiliates of PRC Capital Gains Tax with respect to the Initial Repurchase.

(ii) Within 10 Business Days of Yahoo! filing its consolidated U.S. federal income Tax return for the taxable year in which PRC Capital Gains Tax is imposed on Yahoo! or any of its Affiliates with respect to the Initial Repurchase, Yahoo! shall notify Purchaser in writing of the difference, if any, between the Anticipated AGH PRC Tax Payment and the AGH PRC Tax Payment, which notice shall be accompanied by reasonable detail supporting the computation of the AGH PRC Tax Payment. Within 10 Business Days of Purchaser’s receipt of such notice, if the Anticipated AGH PRC Tax Payment exceeds the AGH PRC Tax Payment, then Yahoo! shall pay such excess amount to AGH.

(iii) Within 10 Business Days of (x) Yahoo! filing its consolidated U.S. federal income Tax return for any taxable year following the taxable year described in clause (ii) above until and including the taxable year ending December 31, 2014 or (y) any other adjustment to the AGH PRC Tax Payment that occurs after the Initial Repurchase and prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to Yahoo!’s consolidated U.S. federal income Tax return for the taxable year ending December 31, 2014 (whether by reason of any final disposition of a Tax proceeding, the filing of any amended Tax return or otherwise), Yahoo! shall notify Purchaser in writing of the difference, if any, between the AGH PRC Tax Payment (as previously calculated) and the AGH PRC Tax Payment (as calculated at such time), which notice shall be accompanied by reasonable detail supporting the computation of the AGH PRC Tax Payment (as calculated at such time). Within 10 Business Days of Purchaser’s receipt of such notice, (A) if the AGH PRC Tax Payment (as calculated at such time) exceeds the AGH PRC Tax Payment (as previously calculated), then AGH shall pay such excess amount to Yahoo!, or (B) if the AGH PRC Tax Payment (as previously calculated) exceeds the AGH PRC Tax Payment (as calculated at such time), then Yahoo! shall pay such excess amount to AGH.

(iv) Any dispute between the Parties regarding the computation of the AGH PRC Tax Payment or any subsequent adjustment thereof shall be resolved by a nationally-recognized, independent U.S. accounting firm mutually selected by the Parties. Any fees and expenses of such accounting firm incurred in connection with such dispute shall be borne equally by Purchaser, on the one hand, and Yahoo!, on the other hand.

(v) Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Yahoo! with respect to (A) Tax filings with the PRC Tax authorities and compliance with any procedures relating to PRC Capital Gains Tax, and (B) minimizing or eliminating any potential PRC Capital Gains Tax liability to the extent permitted by applicable Law, in each case, in connection with the Initial Repurchase. Sellers shall authorize one of Purchaser’s Subsidiaries that is a wholly foreign owned enterprise formed under the Laws of the PRC to act as agent of the Sellers for purposes of seeking an exemption from, or seeking to minimize, PRC Capital Gains Tax with respect to the Initial Repurchase, and any related communications with the PRC Tax authorities; provided that, in connection therewith, Purchaser shall, and shall cause such Subsidiary to, (A) provide Yahoo! with copies of any written communications received from the PRC Tax authorities, (B) provide Yahoo! with a reasonable opportunity to comment on any written materials before they are submitted to the PRC Tax authorities, (C) permit Yahoo! to attend any scheduled meetings or conferences with the PRC Tax authorities, and (D) not settle, compromise or abandon such exemption proceeding without the prior written consent of Yahoo! (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(vi) Yahoo!, at its expense, shall have the right to conduct and control any Tax audit, contest or other proceeding relating to PRC Capital Gains Tax with respect to the Initial Repurchase; provided that, in connection with any such audit, contest or other proceeding, Yahoo! shall (A) provide Purchaser with copies of any written communications received from the PRC Tax authorities, (B) provide Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to comment on any written materials before they are submitted to the PRC Tax authorities, (C) permit Purchaser to attend any scheduled meetings or conferences with the PRC Tax authorities, and (D) not settle, compromise or abandon such audit, contest or proceeding without the prior written consent of Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) Transfer Taxes. Each of Purchaser and Yahoo! shall be responsible for and shall bear one half of any Transfer Taxes imposed with respect to the Initial Repurchase, regardless of the Party responsible for such Transfer Taxes under applicable Law. The Parties shall cooperate to ensure the timely payment of any Transfer Taxes and the timely filing of any necessary documentation with respect thereto.

(e) Tax Cooperation.

(i) In the event PRC Capital Gains Tax is imposed on Yahoo! or any of its Affiliates with respect to the Initial Repurchase, Yahoo! shall use reasonable efforts to maximize the utilization of any foreign Tax credits, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, attributable to, or resulting from, the imposition of such PRC Capital Gains Tax (including, without limitation, by electing to treat any items of Specified Taxable Income as foreign source income pursuant to Section 865(h)(2) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to the extent permitted by applicable Law).

(ii) Purchaser shall provide Yahoo! on a reasonably timely basis with all information reasonably requested by Yahoo! for purposes of preparing and filing Tax returns or complying with any other requirement under applicable Tax Law, in each case, with respect to Yahoo!’s or any of its Affiliate’s ownership or disposition of Shares (including information relevant to determining and claiming foreign Tax credits, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes); provided, that, for these purposes, Purchaser shall not be required to prepare any information that it does not maintain at such time; provided, further, that Purchaser shall, at Yahoo!’s expense, provide such cooperation as Yahoo! may reasonably request to enable Yahoo!’s external advisors to prepare such information.

4.9 Shareholders Agreement; Amended and Restated Articles. At the Initial Repurchase Closing, Purchaser and each Seller shall execute and deliver to the other the New Shareholders Agreement and Purchaser shall adopt the Amended and Restated Articles.

7.3 Governing Law. The internal laws, and not the laws of conflicts (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law and any successor provision thereto), of the State of New York shall govern the enforceability and validity of this Agreement, the construction of its terms and the interpretation of the rights and duties of the Parties hereunder.

7.4 Arbitration.

(a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement, or the breach, termination or validity hereof shall be exclusively referred to and finally resolved by binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be administered by the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”), and conducted in accordance with the arbitration rules of the ICC (the “Rules”) in effect at the time of commencement of such arbitration and the provisions set forth in this Section 7.4, which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Agreement. The seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore. Notwithstanding that the seat of the arbitration is Singapore, the arbitrators and parties to the arbitration may participate in hearings at a location other than Singapore that is deemed by the arbitrators to be most convenient and efficient for the Parties. Arbitration proceedings (including any arbitral award rendered) shall be conducted in the English language. There shall be three arbitrators (the “Tribunal”), and the Parties agree that one arbitrator shall be nominated by each party for confirmation by the Court in accordance with the Rules. The third arbitrator, who shall act as the chairman of the tribunal, shall be nominated by agreement of the two party appointed arbitrators within fourteen days of the confirmation of the appointment of the second arbitrator, or in default of such agreement, appointed by the Court.

(b) The Tribunal shall endeavor to complete the arbitration and render an arbitral award expeditiously, if practicable, within 150 days of the constitution of the Tribunal. The Tribunal shall be authorized, either in its discretion or upon application by a Party, to extend any time limit relating to the arbitration.

(c) The arbitral award shall be in writing, state the reasons for the award, and be final and binding on the parties to the arbitration. The Tribunal shall be empowered to award, in addition to monetary damages as and to the extent permitted to be recovered under this Agreement, equitable relief, including an injunction and specific performance to the extent permitted by Section 7.6. The Tribunal shall be authorized in its discretion to grant pre-award and post-award interest. Any costs, fees or taxes incident to enforcing the award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Laws, be charged against the Party resisting such enforcement. Judgment upon the award may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its assets.

(d) In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related disputes, and upon request of any Party to the arbitration proceeding, the International Court of Arbitration of the ICC (the “Court”) may consolidate the arbitration proceeding with any other arbitration

proceeding involving any of the Parties relating to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. The Court shall not consolidate such arbitrations unless it determines that (i) there are issues of fact or law common to the proceedings, so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (ii) no Party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise.

(e) The Parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any awards) shall not be disclosed beyond the Tribunal, the ICC, the parties to the arbitration, their counsel and any person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding, except as may be lawfully required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or otherwise, or as required by the rules of the NASDAQ or of any other quotation system or exchange on which the disclosing Party’s securities are listed or applicable Laws.

(f) All payments made pursuant to the arbitration decision or award and any judgment entered thereon shall be made in US Dollars (or, if a payment in US Dollars is not permitted by Law and if mutually agreed upon by the Parties, in PRC currency), free from any deduction, offset or withholding for Tax.

(g) Nothing contained herein will be construed to exclude a party to an arbitration, prior to the appointment of the Tribunal, from seeking provisional or emergency remedies from any court of competent jurisdiction or pursuant to the Emergency Arbitration Provisions of the ICC, and such application shall not be deemed inconsistent with, or a waiver of, this agreement to arbitrate. None of the Parties shall institute a proceeding in any court or administrative agency to resolve a dispute relating to this Agreement, except for a court proceeding to compel arbitration or otherwise enforce this agreement to arbitrate, to enforce an order or award of the Tribunal or petition for the provisional or emergency remedies provided for herein. The Parties waive objection to venue and consent to the nonexclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore in any action to enforce this arbitration agreement, any order or award of the Tribunal or the provisional or emergency remedies provided for herein. In any such permitted court action, the Parties agree that delivery of the complaint or petition by international courier, with proof of delivery, shall constitute valid and sufficient service, and they individually and collectively waive any objection to such service.

7.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (together with all appendices, schedules, exhibits, annexes and attachments thereto) constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

7.6 Remedies.

(b) Subject to Sections 7.6(f) and 7.6(g), the sole and exclusive remedy of the Sellers in the event that the Purchaser fails to consummate the Initial Repurchase or effectuate the Initial Repurchase Closing in breach of this Agreement is, in the alternative, (i) termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1(b) or 6.1(d) or (ii) specific performance of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, including the obligation to purchase the Minimum Repurchased Shares (and only the Minimum Repurchased Shares) at the Repurchase Price. Other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, Sellers shall have no equitable or legal remedy, and Sellers and their Affiliates each waive any remedy other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, whether arising under or based upon any contract, tort, Law or otherwise, including the right to obtain monetary damages, in the event that Purchaser fails to consummate the Initial Repurchase or effectuate the Initial Repurchase Closing in breach of this Agreement or otherwise.

(c) Subject to Sections 7.6(d), 7.6(f) and 7.6(g), the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser in the event that the Sellers fail to consummate the Initial Repurchase or effectuate the Initial Repurchase Closing in breach of this Agreement is, in the alternative, (i) termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1(c) or 6.1(e) or (ii) specific performance of Sellers’ obligations hereunder, including the obligation to sell up to 523,000,000 Shares (it being understood that Purchaser shall not seek specific performance for the purchase and sale of fewer than 261,500,000 Shares) free and clear of all Liens at a per Share price equal to the Repurchase Price and to consummate the TIPLA Amendment Closing.

(d) If (i) this Agreement is terminated by either Purchaser or Sellers pursuant to Section 6.1(f) and the relevant Permanent Prohibition is a Private Action Order against any Seller or (ii) a Private Action Order against any Seller was issued or entered by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction at any time prior to termination of this Agreement, and in the case of this clause (ii) either (x) this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.1(e) or (y) this Agreement is terminated by Yahoo! pursuant to Section 6.1(b) or by Purchaser pursuant to 6.1(c) and at the time of such termination the Private Action Resolution Condition was not satisfied with respect to all Private Action Orders against any Seller issued or entered at any time (any termination pursuant to the preceding clause (i), (ii)(x) or (ii)(y), a “Private Action Termination”), then at the election of Purchaser (set forth in the notice of such termination or in a notice given within five Business Days of such termination), (A) Purchaser and Sellers shall proceed with the TIPLA Amendment Closing (Purchaser’s election to pursue this clause (A), a “TIPLA Amendment Closing Election”) (provided, that if

the conditions in Sections 5.3(a) and 5.3(b) are not satisfied or waived within 20 Business Days of Purchaser’s election to effect the TIPLA Amendment Closing, then the Parties shall have no obligation to conduct the TIPLA Amendment Closing and in lieu thereof Purchaser shall be deemed, as of such 20^th Business Day, to have irrevocably elected payment of the Expense Amount pursuant to the following clause (B)) or (B) Yahoo! shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Purchaser in accordance with the Cash Payment Procedures an amount equal to $100 million (the “Expense Amount”) in respect of Purchaser’s expenses and costs incurred in connection with this Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days following Purchaser’s election (or deemed election) to receive payment of the Expense Amount). Each of the Sellers and Purchaser acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.6(d) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that Yahoo! shall fail to pay the Expense Amount to Purchaser when due, Yahoo! shall reimburse Purchaser for all reasonable expenses actually incurred or accrued by Purchaser (including reasonable expenses of counsel) in connection with the collection and enforcement of this Section 7.6(d). In the event this Agreement is properly terminated pursuant to a Private Action Termination, Sellers’ payment of the Expense Amount pursuant to this Section 7.6(d) or completion of the TIPLA Amendment Closing pursuant to a TIPLA Amendment Closing Election shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by the Purchaser and its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the Transactions (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, including under Section 7.6(c) or otherwise, and following such payment or TIPLA Amendment Closing pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.6(d), none of the Purchaser or its Affiliates or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any Action against the Sellers or their Affiliates and none of the Sellers or its Affiliates or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any Action against the Purchaser or its Affiliates arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the Transactions or any matters forming the basis for such termination. This Section 7.6(d) is subject to Section 7.6(f).

(e) Other than as set forth in Sections 7.6(c) and 7.6(d), Purchaser shall have no equitable or legal remedy, and Purchaser and its Affiliates each waive any remedy other than as set forth in Sections 7.6(c) and 7.6(d), whether arising under or based upon any contract, tort, Law or otherwise, including the right to obtain monetary damages, in the event that Sellers fail to consummate the Initial Repurchase or effectuate the Initial Repurchase Closing, in breach of this Agreement or otherwise.

(f) Section 7.6(d) notwithstanding, in the event the Initial Repurchase Closing occurs, whether in the ordinary course of this Agreement or as the result of an award of specific performance, Purchaser shall not be entitled to seek or receive the Expense Amount or to make a TIPLA Amendment Closing Election.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that any of the Sellers, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, seeks an Order of specific performance against the other Party (including any of the Sellers seeking an order to effect the purchase of the Minimum Repurchased Shares or Purchaser seeking an order to effect the sale of up to 523,000,000 Shares (it being understood that Purchaser shall not seek specific performance for the purchase and sale of fewer than 261,500,000 Shares) or the TIPLA Amendment Closing),

then if such Party prevails in obtaining such Order, the other Party shall reimburse the prevailing Party for all reasonable expenses actually incurred or accrued by such Party (including reasonable expenses of counsel) in connection with the enforcement of such Order.

7.7 Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or otherwise altered in any manner, and the terms and conditions hereof may not be waived, unless in writing signed by the Parties. No waiver hereunder shall be binding unless in writing executed by the Party against whom enforcement of the waiver is sought. The delay or failure by a Party to exercise a right hereunder shall not operate as a waiver of a breach nor shall it prevent such Party from exercising such right with respect to such breach and no waiver of a breach of one provision of this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of another breach of such provision or of a breach of any other provision.

7.8 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and the rights and obligations set forth herein shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Parties, and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns.

In the event that there is any conflict between the Memorandum and Articles and this Agreement, the latter shall prevail and the Shareholders and Subordinate Shareholders (but not the Company) shall to the extent necessary, cause the change, amendment or modification of the Memorandum and Articles to eliminate any such inconsistency.

2.2 Shareholder Actions.

(a) In order to effectuate the provisions of this Agreement, and without limiting the generality of Section 2.1, each Shareholder and each Subordinate Shareholder (a) hereby agrees that when any action or vote is required to be taken by such Shareholder or such Subordinate Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement, such Shareholder or such Subordinate Shareholder shall use its best efforts to call, or cause the appropriate officers and directors of the Company to call, one or more Shareholders Meetings to take such action or vote, to attend such Shareholders Meetings in person or by proxy for purposes of obtaining a quorum, or to execute or cause to be executed a Written Consent to effectuate such shareholder action, (b) shall use its best efforts to cause the Board to adopt, either at a meeting of the Board or by unanimous written consent of the Board, all the resolutions necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Agreement and (c) shall use its best efforts, to the extent not in violation of applicable Law, to cause the Board to cause the Secretary of the Company, or if there be no Secretary, such other officer of the Company as the Board may appoint to fulfill the duties of Secretary, not to record any vote or consent contrary to the terms of this Section 2.

(b) Each Shareholder has entered into this Agreement on behalf of itself and on behalf of each Person whose Equity Securities are “owned” by such Shareholder pursuant to Section 2.9 (each, a “Subordinate Shareholder”). Each Shareholder shall cause its Subordinate Shareholder(s) to take all actions necessary to perform all obligations hereunder, and to be deemed to have hereby made all representations and warranties hereunder as if such Subordinate Shareholder were such Shareholder.

(c) Each Shareholder (each, a “Relying Shareholder”) shall be entitled to rely upon the decision, actions, consents or instructions of each of the other Shareholders that has any Subordinate Shareholder (each, a “Parent Shareholder”) as being the decision, action, consent or instruction of each of such Parent Shareholder’s Subordinate Shareholders with respect to this Agreement or with respect to any matter related hereto. Each Relying Shareholder is hereby relieved from any liability to any of such Subordinate Shareholders for relying upon any such decision, action, consent or instruction of its Parent Shareholder.

2.3 Board Composition. Subject to Section 3.2(d), the Board shall consist of such number of directors as is determined by the Board from time to time (provided that such number shall not be more than five at any time prior to an IPO) of which (i) one director shall be a person designated by Yahoo (the “Yahoo Designee”), provided, that Yahoo’s right to designate a director on the Board shall terminate upon, and be of no force and effect from and after, the first time that Yahoo owns less than the Threshold Number of Equity Securities, (ii) two directors shall be persons designated by the Management Members (each a “Management Member Designee” and collectively, the “Management Member Designees”); provided, that in the event the Management Members, collectively, own a number of Equity Securities amounting to less than 25% of the Management Current Share Number, only one director shall be designated by the Management Members and the Management Members will continue to have the right to designate at least one director on the Board as long as JM owns one share of Equity Security of the Company, and (iii) one director shall be a person designated by SOFTBANK (the “SOFTBANK Designee”), provided, that SOFTBANK’s right to designate a director on the Board shall terminate upon, and be of no force and effect from and after, the first time that SOFTBANK owns less than the Threshold Number of Equity Securities.

In the event the Company is required by the rules of an internationally recognized stock exchange or quotation system on which the Company will list its Ordinary Shares upon an IPO to expand the number of directors on the Board in order to comply with independence or other comparable requirements of such exchange or quotation system, the Shareholders agree to vote in favor of such expansion so as to comply with the requirements of such rules. The Shareholders and Subordinate Shareholders hereby agree to amend the Memorandum and Articles prior to an IPO if and to the extent required to comply with corporate governance and related requirements of the rules of an internationally recognized stock exchange or quotation system on which the Company will list its Ordinary Shares upon an IPO.

2.5 Office and Expenses; Removal; Replacement.

(a) All directors designated pursuant to this Agreement shall hold office until their respective successors shall have been appointed.

The reasonable travel expenses incurred by any such director in attending any meetings of the Board shall be reimbursed by the Company to the extent consistent with the Company’s then existing policy of reimbursing directors generally for such expenses.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Shareholders and Subordinate Shareholders shall exercise their power in relation to the Company to ensure that, (i) Yahoo shall have the sole and exclusive power to remove and replace the Yahoo Designee from the Board, with or without cause, (ii) the Management Members shall have the sole and exclusive power to remove any Management Member Designee from the Board, with or without cause, and (iii) SOFTBANK shall have the sole and exclusive power to remove the SOFTBANK Designee from the Board, with or without cause; provided, however, that at such time as Yahoo, the Management Members or SOFTBANK is no longer entitled to designate a director or directors pursuant to Section 2.3, the Shareholders and Subordinate Shareholders shall exercise their power in relation to the Company to ensure that any director then holding office who was designated by Yahoo, the Management Members or SOFTBANK, respectively, shall automatically and immediately, without any further action, be removed from the Board, including any committees thereof; provided, further that, if at such time there are two Management Members Designees on the Board and the Management Members lose the right to designate one such member, the Management Members’ Representative shall designate which director shall be removed.

(c) If any director (a “Withdrawing Director”) designated in the manner set forth in Section 2.3 above is unable to serve, or once having commenced to serve, is removed, withdraws from the Board or dies or becomes incapacitated, such Withdrawing Director’s replacement (the “Substitute Director”) on the Board will be designated by the party or parties who designated the Withdrawing Director, subject to Section 2.3. The Shareholders and Subordinate Shareholders shall exercise their power in relation to the Company to ensure that such Substitute Director is elected. No meeting of the Board shall be held pending replacement of any Withdrawing Director without the consent of the Shareholder entitled to name the Substitute Director unless such Shareholder shall have failed to name a Substitute Director within 15 days after the removal, withdrawal, death or incapacitation of such Withdrawing Director.

(d) If any Shareholder entitled to designate a director or directors pursuant to this Agreement fails to designate any director or directors and such directorship or directorships shall have been vacant for sixty (60) days, the other Shareholders may appoint a director (the “Replacement Director”) until a new director is designated by the Shareholder who is originally entitled to designate such director, whereupon the Replacement Director shall automatically vacate his or her office as a director. Subject to Section 2.4, if any Shareholder loses its right to designate one or more directors pursuant to Section 2.3, the size of the Board shall automatically and immediately, without further action, be decreased by one for each such right that has terminated.

2.6 Meetings. The parties hereto will cause the Board to meet at least once every quarter. A quorum of the Board shall consist of at least a majority of all directors and shall include at least (i) the Yahoo Designee, for so long as Yahoo has designated a director; (ii) one Management Member Designee, for so long as the Management Members have designated a director and (iii) the SOFTBANK Designee, for so long as SOFTBANK has designated a director, in each case in accordance with Section 2.3; provided, however, that in the event that, at the time appointed for the start of a Board meeting, a quorum is not present, the Chairman or Secretary of the Company shall notify the other directors (which notice may be given by e-mail; provided that it is followed immediately by confirmation via facsimile, personal delivery or overnight mail as provided in Section 10.1) and reschedule such meeting to a time that (A) is proposed by the absent director within 72 hours of receipt of such notice for a meeting, to be held within seven days of such notice from the Chairman or the Secretary of the Company of the failure to obtain quorum at such originally scheduled meeting (provided, that the proposed time must be during business hours in Hong Kong) or (B) if the absent director has failed to propose a meeting time within 72 hours of such notice from the Chairman of the failure to obtain quorum at such originally scheduled meeting, a date which is no fewer than ten days after the originally scheduled meeting date; provided, further, that in the event there is no quorum for the reconvened meeting of the Board, then the quorum for such reconvened meeting shall be a majority of all directors, failing which the meeting shall be dissolved. If a quorum is present at the start of a Board meeting or a reconvened Board meeting, as the case may be, the subsequent willful or voluntary departure of a director shall not cause the quorum to be lost, and the Board Meeting need not be adjourned. Resolutions of the Board and its committees (if any) shall be adopted by a majority of the members of the Board and such committees, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. Any director may call a special meeting of the Board. The Board will review the Applicable Thresholds from time to time and may, in its discretion, upon the approval of at least a majority of the directors at a meeting of the Board (or by written resolution in accordance with Section 2.8), revise the Applicable Thresholds in Schedule C; provided, however, that the unanimous approval of the Board is required for any revision that would result in the Applicable Thresholds being equal to or greater than twice the dollar amount of (i) any of the Applicable Thresholds set forth in Schedule C in effect on the date of this Agreement, or (ii) after any time, if at all, that the Board shall have unanimously approved an increase of the Applicable Thresholds to an amount equal to or greater than the Applicable Thresholds set forth in Schedule C in effect on the date of this Agreement, then the last Applicable Thresholds that were unanimously approved by the Board. From and after any such action of the Board in accordance with the preceding sentence, all references to Schedule C in this Agreement shall be references to Schedule C as so updated.

2.7 Indemnification.

(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each director designated pursuant to Section 2.3 (each an “Indemnitee”) who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he is or was a director of

the Company, or is or was a director of the Company serving at the request of the Company as a director of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other entity or enterprise, to the fullest extent permitted by Law against all expenses, costs and obligations (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees, court costs, retainers, transcript fees, duplicating, printing and binding costs, as well as telecommunications, postage and courier charges) (“Expenses”), damages, judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes and amounts paid in settlement (including, without limitation, all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes or amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding (“Indemnifiable Amounts”) if he or she acted in good faith and in the best interests of the Company in accordance with his or her fiduciary duty to the Company.

(b) If so requested by Indemnitee, the Company may advance any and all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee, either by (i) paying such Expenses on behalf of Indemnitee, or (ii) reimbursing Indemnitee for such Expenses.

(c) If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the Expenses or other Indemnifiable Amounts in respect of a claim but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any claim, action, suit or proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable Law.

(e) The rights of the Indemnitee hereunder shall be in addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Memorandum and Articles or otherwise. To the extent that a change in applicable Law permits greater indemnification by agreement than would be afforded currently under the Memorandum and Articles, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change.

(f) Indemnitees are expressly meant to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 2.7.

(c) Each Offeree (or a designated direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary thereof) may accept the offer set forth in an Offer Notice by giving notice to the Transferor, prior to the expiration of such offer, specifying the maximum number of the Subject Shares that the Offeree wishes to purchase. Any Offeree may exercise the right to purchase all or a portion of Equity Securities pursuant to this Section 4.2 by causing such Person(s) to which such Offeree would be permitted to Transfer Equity Securities pursuant to Section 4.1 to purchase such all or portion of Equity Securities directly from the Transferor, if so specified in the notice given to the Transferor pursuant to this Section 4.2(c) and/or Section 4.2(d).

6.1 Preemptive Rights.

(a) If the Company proposes to sell any Equity Securities (other than Exempted Securities) (the “Additional Securities”), including in a private placement, as part of a commercial agreement or debt financing, or otherwise, the Company shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to issuing such Additional Securities, notify each of Yahoo, the Management Members and SOFTBANK in writing of such proposed issuance (which notice shall specify, to the extent practicable, the purchase price or a range for the purchase price, if any, for, and the terms and conditions of, such Additional Securities) and shall offer to sell such Additional Securities to each of Yahoo, the Management Members and SOFTBANK in the amounts set forth in subclauses (c) and (d) below and subject to Section 6.3, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the notice and at the Purchase Price as provided in Section 6.1(e) (the “Preemptive Rights”). For purposes of calculating the number of Additional Securities issued pursuant to this Section 6, such calculation shall include the maximum number of Ordinary Shares and other equity interests issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any convertible or exchangeable securities, options, warrants or other rights to acquire, any equity interests.

(b) If Yahoo, the Management Members or SOFTBANK wishes to subscribe for a number of Additional Securities equal to or less than the number to which they are entitled under this section, Yahoo, the Management Members or SOFTBANK may do so (by itself or by causing such Person(s) to which it would be permitted to Transfer Equity Securities pursuant to Section 4.1 to subscribe for all or portion of such Additional Securities) and shall, in the written notice of exercise of the offer, specify the number of Additional Securities that it (or each of such Person(s)) wishes to purchase.

(c) With respect to Additional Securities that are Ordinary Shares, the Company shall offer to each of Yahoo, the Management Members and SOFTBANK, all or any portion specified by such exercising party of a number of such Additional Securities such that, after giving effect to the proposed issuance (including the issuance to Yahoo, the Management Members and SOFTBANK pursuant to the Preemptive Rights and including any related issuance resulting from the exercise of preemptive rights by any unrelated Person with respect to the same issuance that gave rise to the exercise of Preemptive Rights by Yahoo, the Management Members and SOFTBANK), (X) the Yahoo Economic Interest Percentage after such issuance would equal the Yahoo Economic Interest Percentage immediately prior to such issuance, (Y) the Management Member Economic Interest Percentage after such issuance would equal the Management Member Economic Interest Percentage immediately prior to such issuance and (Z) the SOFTBANK Economic Interest Percentage after such issuance would equal the SOFTBANK Economic Interest Percentage immediately prior to such issuance, such numbers of Additional Securities set forth in each of (X), (Y) and (Z) to constitute the “Preemptive Share Amount” for such party for purposes of any exercise of Preemptive Rights to which this paragraph (c) applies. If, at the time of the determination of any Preemptive Share Amount under this paragraph (c), any other Person has preemptive or other equity purchase rights similar to the Preemptive Rights,

such Preemptive Share Amount shall be recalculated to take into account the number of Ordinary Shares such Persons have committed to purchase, rounding up such Preemptive Share Amount to the nearest whole Ordinary Share.

(d) With respect to Additional Securities that are Other Shares, the Company shall offer to each of Yahoo, the Management Members and SOFTBANK, all or any portion specified by such exercising party, of a number of such securities equal to the total number of such Additional Securities proposed to be sold, multiplied by the Yahoo Economic Interest Percentage, the Management Member Economic Interest Percentage or the SOFTBANK Economic Interest Percentage, as applicable, at such time (which number shall constitute the “Preemptive Share Amount” for purposes of any exercise of Preemptive Rights to which this paragraph (d) applies). If, at the time of the determination of any Preemptive Share Amount under this paragraph (d), any other Person has preemptive or other equity purchase rights similar to Preemptive Rights, such Preemptive Share Amount shall be recalculated to take into account the number of Other Shares such Persons have committed to purchase, rounding up such Preemptive Share Amount to the nearest whole Other Share.

(e) The “Purchase Price” for the Additional Securities to be issued pursuant to the exercise of Preemptive Rights shall be payable only in cash (unless otherwise unanimously agreed by the Company and Yahoo, the Management Members and SOFTBANK) and, except as otherwise set forth below, shall equal per Additional Security the per security issuance price for the Additional Securities giving rise to such Preemptive Right. In the case of any issuance of Additional Securities other than solely for cash, the Company and Yahoo, the Management Members and SOFTBANK shall in good faith seek to agree upon the value of the non-cash consideration; provided that the value of any publicly traded securities shall be deemed to be the market value of such securities as of the date of the consummation of such issuance. If the Company and Yahoo, the Management Members or SOFTBANK fail to agree on such value during the thirty (30) day period contemplated by the first sentence of Section 6.2, then the Company will refer the items in dispute to a nationally recognized investment banking firm that is selected by the Board and reasonably acceptable to Yahoo, the Management Members and SOFTBANK and that shall be instructed to make a final and binding determination of the fair market value of such items within ten (10) days of retention of such investment banking firm. If such a determination is required, the deadline for Yahoo’s, the Management Members’ and SOFTBANK’s exercise of its Preemptive Rights with respect to such issuance pursuant to Section 6.1(b) shall be extended until the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date of such determination. Whichever of the Company or Yahoo, the Management Members or SOFTBANK whose last estimate differed the most from that finally decided by the investment banking firm shall be responsible for and pay all of the fees and expenses of such investment banking firm. All determinations made by such investment banking firm shall be final and binding on the Company and Yahoo, the Management Members and SOFTBANK, as applicable.

6.2 Exercise Period. The Preemptive Rights set forth in Section 6.1 must be exercised by acceptance in writing of an offer referred to in Section 6.1(a), (i) if prior to an IPO, within thirty (30) days following the receipt of the notice from the Company of its intention to sell Equity Securities, and (ii) in connection with any registered offering (including an IPO), at

least five (5) Business Days prior to the printing of the preliminary prospectus in connection with such offering; provided, that in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), such acceptance shall indicate a willingness to purchase at the same per share price at which such securities are sold to the public (less underwriting fees and discounts, which difference shall be shared equally by the party exercising the Preemptive Rights and the Company) and may specify a maximum and/or minimum per share price that such offeree is willing to pay for such Equity Securities. The closing of any purchase of Additional Securities pursuant to the exercise by Yahoo, the Management Members or SOFTBANK of Preemptive Rights hereunder shall occur within sixty (60) days after delivery of the notice by the Company as provided in Section 6.1(a), subject to the receipt of any necessary Governmental Approvals to which the issuance of Additional Securities is subject, provided, that such sixty (60) day period shall be extended automatically as necessary to apply for and obtain any Governmental Approvals that are required to consummate such purchase, so long as the purchaser is making good faith efforts to obtain such Governmental Approvals as soon as practicable in accordance with applicable Law. If there is any such extension, the relevant period will end on the fifth Business Day following the receipt of such Governmental Approvals.

6.3 Survival of Rights. No Shareholder shall have any rights pursuant to Sections 6.1 or 6.2 in connection with any IPO, and Sections 6.1 and 6.2 shall terminate upon, and be of no force and effect from and after, the completion of an IPO. In addition, each Shareholder’s Preemptive Right set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 shall terminate, and be of no force and effect from and after, (i) with respect to Yahoo or SOFTBANK, in the event such Shareholders own less than the Threshold Number of Equity Securities and (ii) with respect to the Management Members, in the event that the aggregate number of Equity Securities owned by Management Members is less than 50% of the Management Current Share Number.

9. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution.

9.1 Governing Law. The internal laws, and not the laws of conflicts (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law and any successor provision thereto), of the State of New York shall govern the enforceability and validity of this Agreement, the construction of its terms and the interpretation of the rights and duties of the Parties hereunder.

9.2 Arbitration.

(a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement, or the breach, termination or validity hereof, shall be finally settled exclusively by arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) in effect at the time of the arbitration, except as they may be modified by mutual agreement of the parties. The seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore, provided, that, the arbitrators may hold hearings in such other locations as the arbitrators determine to be most convenient and efficient for all of the parties to such arbitration under the circumstances. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.

(b) The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators. The party (or the parties, acting jointly, if there are more than one) initiating arbitration (the “Claimant”) shall appoint an arbitrator in its request for arbitration (the “Request”). The other party (or the other parties, acting jointly, if there are more than one) to the arbitration (the “Respondent”) shall appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Request and shall notify the Claimant of such appointment in writing. If within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Request by the Respondent, either party has not appointed an arbitrator, then that arbitrator shall be appointed by the ICC. The first two arbitrators appointed in accordance with this provision shall appoint a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the Respondent has notified Claimant of the appointment of the Respondent’s arbitrator or, in the event of a failure by a party to appoint, within thirty (30) days after the ICC has notified the parties and any arbitrator already appointed of the appointment of an arbitrator on behalf of the party failing to appoint. When the third arbitrator has accepted the appointment, the two arbitrators making the appointment shall promptly notify the parties of the appointment. If the first two arbitrators appointed fail to appoint a third arbitrator or so to notify the parties within the time period prescribed above, then the ICC shall appoint the third arbitrator and shall promptly notify the parties of the appointment. The third arbitrator shall act as Chair of the tribunal.

(c) The arbitral award shall be in writing, state the reasons for the award, and be final and binding on the parties. The award may include an award of costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. In addition to monetary damages, the arbitral tribunal shall be empowered to award equitable relief, including, but not limited to, an injunction and specific performance of any obligation under this Agreement. The arbitral tribunal is not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover punitive, exemplary or similar damages with respect to any dispute, except insofar as a claim is for indemnification for an award of punitive damages awarded against a party in an action brought against it by an independent third party. The arbitral tribunal shall be authorized in its discretion to grant pre-award and post-award interest at commercial rates. Any costs, fees or taxes, incident to enforcing the award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, be charged against the party resisting such enforcement. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets.

(d) In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related disputes, and upon request of any party to the arbitration proceeding, the arbitration tribunal may, within ninety (90) days of its appointment, consolidate the arbitration proceeding with any other arbitration proceeding involving any of the parties relating to this Agreement, the Share Repurchase Agreement, the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Share Repurchase Agreement), the 2007 Amended Agreement, the Original Agreement, the Purchase and Contribution Agreement, and the other Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Purchase and Contribution Agreement). The arbitration tribunal shall not consolidate such arbitrations unless it determines that (x) there are issues of fact or law common to the proceedings, so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (y) no party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise. In the event of different rulings on this question by the arbitration tribunal constituted hereunder and any tribunal constituted under these Ancillary Agreements, the ruling of the tribunal constituted under this Agreement will govern, and that tribunal will decide all disputes in the consolidated proceeding.

(e) The parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including but not limited to any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any awards) shall not be disclosed beyond the tribunal, the ICC, the parties, their counsel and any person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding, except as may be lawfully required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or otherwise, or as required by NASDAQ rules or the rules of any other quotation system or exchange on which the disclosing party’s securities are listed or applicable Law.

(f) The costs of arbitration shall be borne by the losing party unless otherwise determined by the arbitration award.

(g) All payments made pursuant to the arbitration decision or award and any judgment entered thereon shall be made in United States dollars, free from any deduction, offset or withholding for taxes.

(h) Notwithstanding this Section 9.2 or any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no party shall be obligated to follow the foregoing arbitration procedures where such party intends to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an interim injunction or similar equitable relief against any other party, provided there is no unreasonable delay in the prosecution of that application.
