In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of Registrable Stock if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of (1) this Agreement or (2) the Policy at a time that a Tencent Designee is serving, or has within the past ten (10) days served, as a member of the Board or otherwise a Representative of Stockholder is attending, or has within the past ten (10) days attended, Board meetings. Stockholder shall keep confidential any communications received by it from the Company regarding any such Deferral Action, except as required by Applicable Law, regulation or the rules of any applicable securities exchange. Following receipt of a Deferral Notice, Stockholder shall not make any further sales of Registrable Stock pursuant to the Registration Statement until Stockholder receives such notice, and any such amendment or supplement, from the Company. Upon the Company taking a Deferral Action, any time periods with respect to filing or effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement shall be tolled correspondingly, for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after the request by Stockholder is given; provided, however, that the Company may not effect a Deferral Action more than twice or take Deferral Actions for a total of more than ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period.

4
circumstance a Deferral Action will be similarly initiated with respect to such other stockholders, registrations and registrable securities, the duration of the Deferral Action applicable to Stockholder hereunder and such other stockholder(s) shall be subject to the respective agreements governing such registration rights (i.e., the duration of the Deferral Action with respect to Stockholder shall be governed by this Section 2(b) irrespective of any longer or shorter period for which such Deferral Action may be applicable to such other registration rights holder(s)). Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Stockholder will not engage in any trading in any securities of the Company during the ninety (90) day period following the later of (x) the time that a Tencent Designee ceases serving as a member of the Board or (y) the time that a Representative of Stockholder ceases otherwise attending Board meetings, unless such trading is conducted by personnel that have been compartmentalized from, and due care has been exercised to prevent such personnel from having access to or knowledge of, material, non-public information of the Company.
3. Piggyback Registration.
(a) If at any time or from time to time the Company shall determine to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for securityholders other than Stockholder) any of its shares or other securities, (other than (1) in a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, (2) a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 (or such other similar successor forms then in effect under the Securities Act), (3) a registration relating solely to an exchange by the Company of its own securities, (4) a registration statement relating solely to dividend reinvestment or similar plans, (5) a resale shelf registration statement relating solely to debt securities of the Company that are convertible into Common Stock and the underlying shares of Common Stock or (6) a registration pursuant to Section 2), the Company will:
(i) promptly (but in no event less than 10 days before the effective date of the relevant Registration Statement) give to Stockholder written notice thereof; and
(ii) include in such registration (and any related qualification under state securities laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Stock specified in a written request or requests, made within 5 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company, by Stockholder, except as set forth in Section 4(c) below.
(b) The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not Stockholder has elected to include securities in such registration.
4. Underwriting Requirements.
(a) At any time that a Registration Statement covering Registrable Stock pursuant to Section 2 is effective, if Stockholder delivers a notice to the Company (a Take-Down Notice) stating that it intends to effect an underwritten offering of all or part of its Registrable Stock included by it on the Registration Statement and stating the number of Registrable Stock included by it on a shelf registration statement (a Shelf Underwritten Offering), and confirming that such sale of Registrable Stock is reasonably expected to result in gross proceeds in excess of $5,000,000, then the Company shall amend or supplement the
5
Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Stock to be distributed pursuant to the Shelf Underwritten Offering. In any such case, Stockholder shall have the right to select the underwriters or placement agent, if any, including any managing underwriter engaged in connection with such Registration, provided that any such underwriter or placement agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company.
(b) In the event that Stockholder intends to dispose of more than 5,000,000 shares in open-market transactions in any one month period, Stockholder will consult in good faith with the Company in advance thereof for the purpose of preventing undue impact to the market trading of the Companys common stock and determining whether such disposition should be done in an underwritten offering under the Registration Statement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or in a placed block sale or similar transaction. With respect to any other registration, the Company shall have the sole right to determine whether to engage underwriters or placement agents in any offering pursuant to the Registration Statement and, if so determined, shall have the sole right to select the underwriters or placement agent, if any, including any managing underwriter engaged in connection with the Registration Statement, and shall make all determinations related to any underwriter compensation (including fees, discount, commissions or incentive payments) and role in the underwriting syndicate.
(c) If a registration pursuant to Section 2 is an underwritten offering (including a Shelf Underwritten Offering) and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Stock requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Stock which can be sold therein without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering and within a price range acceptable to Stockholder, then there shall be included in such underwritten offering the number or dollar amount of the Registrable Stock that in the opinion of such managing underwriter can be sold without adversely affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Stock shall be allocated as follows:
(i) first, to the Registrable Stock requested to be included by Stockholder; and
(ii) second, any other securities to be included in such underwritten offering.
(d) If a registration pursuant to Section 3 is an underwritten offering, the right of Stockholder to registration pursuant to Section 3 shall be conditioned upon Stockholders participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Stockholders Registrable Stock in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. Stockholder shall, together with the Company and all other holders participating in such underwritten offering, enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form, including, without limitation (but in each case consistent with the treatment of any other securityholder participating in such underwritten offering, except to the extent differing circumstances customarily result in inconsistent treatment), customary representations and warranties (or indemnities with respect thereto and Stockholder provided information included in the Company registration statement) in connection with (i) Stockholders ownership of his, her or its Registrable Stock to be transferred free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, (ii) Stockholders power and authority to effect such transfer, and (iii) such
6
matters pertaining to compliance with Applicable Laws by Stockholder, with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4(d), if the underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the Company shall so advise Stockholder and all other holders participating in such underwritten offering, and the number of shares of such securities, including Registrable Stock, that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated first to the Company and second to Stockholder and any other holders with registration rights on a pro rata basis based on the total number of securities subject to registration rights held by such persons. No such reduction shall (i) reduce the securities being offered by the Company for its own account to be included in the registration and underwriting, or (ii) reduce the amount of securities of Stockholder included in the registration below twenty percent (20%) of the total amount of securities included in such registration. No securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriters marketing limitation shall be included in such registration. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4(d) is intended to diminish the number of securities to be included by the Company in the underwriting.
(e) In the event the Company files a registration statement pursuant to Section 3 for an underwritten offering, in the form reasonably requested by the managing underwriter of such underwritten offering, Stockholder will enter into a customary lockup agreement, whereby Stockholder will agree that, during the period ending on the date that is ninety (90) days after the date of the final prospectus relating to such Company Registration Statement, plus an extension period (not to exceed 17 days) as may be requested by an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) (or any successor provisions or amendments thereto), Stockholder will not, without the prior written consent of the underwriter, directly or indirectly, (A) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable Stock, (B) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Registrable Stock or (C) engage in any short selling of the Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock. The foregoing shall not apply to (1) the sale of any Registrable Stock to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement; (2) any transfers to any Affiliate, stockholder, partner or member of, or owner of a similar equity interest in Stockholder, as the case may be, if, in any such case, such transfer is not for value; or (3) any distribution of Registrable Stock or any other security convertible into Registrable Stock to limited partners, members or stockholders of Stockholder or to Stockholders Affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by Stockholder; provided, however, with respect to transfers pursuant to clauses (2) and (3), any such transferees shall agree in writing to be bound by this Section 4(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) Stockholder shall not be required to enter into any such lock-up agreement unless each director and executive officer of the Company and each other Company stockholder with a beneficial ownership of or right to acquire at least one percent (1%) of the Companys outstanding Common Stock that obtains registration rights from the Company following the date of this Agreement, shall be bound by the same lock-up restrictions and (y) any waivers or modifications of such restrictions shall be granted to all such persons on a consistent basis. The
7
underwriters in connection with such registration are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 4(e) and shall have the right, power, and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and control the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with all reasonable fees and expenses thereof to be paid by such indemnified party, and to be apprised of all progress in any proceeding the defense of which has been assumed by the indemnifying party. The failure to notify an indemnifying party promptly of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such
12
indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 9, except to the extent such failure shall have actually prejudiced the indemnifying party, and the omission to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 9.
(d) To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by Applicable Law, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the Parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The Parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The liability of Stockholder hereunder by way of contribution under this Section 9(d) and indemnification under Section 9(b) shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Stockholder Indemnified Party from the sale of Registrable Stock covered by the Registration Statement.
