11.9                                At least five (5) Business Days’ written notice shall be given to each Director of any meeting of the Board (except for an adjourned meeting) unless all the Directors (or their alternates) approve a shorter notice period or waive the requirement for any such notice. Any such notice shall include an agenda identifying in reasonable detail the matters to be discussed at the meeting and shall, wherever practicable, be accompanied by copies of any relevant papers. If any matter is not identified in reasonable detail, the Board shall not decide on it unless all Directors agree.

21

11.10                         Meetings of the Board shall take place at least four (4) times per year if not required more often, and meetings may be convened by the relevant Chairman or by any Director at any time. The Board meetings will be conducted in English.

11.11                         Meetings shall be held at JVC’s head office or at such other location as may be agreed by the Board. Decisions may be taken by the Directors without a meeting if a proposal for action is submitted in writing to each of the Directors and all members of the Board consent in writing to such action. Any Director may attend any meeting of the Board telephonically.

11.12                            The official minutes of meetings and resolutions taken therein shall be kept in English and shall be signed by the Directors present at the meeting and circulated to all Directors and Shareholders within five (5) Business Days following any meeting.

11.13                         The Chairman of the Board shall be appointed jointly by the Parties,  and shall initially be the individual designated as “Chairman” on Schedule 3.

11.14                         Any Director (other than an alternate director) may appoint any other Director, or any other person approved unanimously by a resolution of the Board and willing to act, to be an alternate director and may remove from office an alternate director so appointed by him.

11.15                         Subject to the requirements of clause 12 and the other provisions in this clause 11, the Board shall decide on matters by a simple majority vote. Each Director present, whether in person, telephonically or (where relevant) represented by an alternate, at any Board meeting shall have one vote (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any alternate present at a meeting shall be entitled (in the absence of his appointor(s)) to a separate vote on behalf of each Director he represents in addition to his own vote (if any) as a Director). The Chairman shall not have a deadlock breaking or casting vote.

11.16                         Subject to the provisions of clause 12, the Chief Executive Officer shall have (i) the authority and responsibility for implementing the Business Plan and each Budget and (ii) responsibility for the day-to-day management of the JVC including general charge of the business, affairs and property of the corporation, and control over its officers, agents and employees.

11.17                         If the JVC misses an Exclusivity Milestone or Annual Opening Target by (This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and such material has been filed separately with the Commission.) or more at the end of any applicable Year (as each term is defined and set out in the Development Schedule attached to the Master Franchise and Development Agreement), at the request of BKAP, the Shareholders shall use their best efforts to replace the Chief Executive Officer of the JVC and such appointment shall require a unanimous vote by all Directors, provided that BKAP shall not request a replacement pursuant to this clause 11.17 until the second anniversary of the appointment of the relevant Chief Executive Officer.

11.18                         The JVC or its Subsidiary shall reimburse each Director for its reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with attending any Board meeting.

11.19                         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) if BKAP ceases to own at least 50% of the aggregate number of BKAP Consideration Shares, then BKAP shall be entitled to appoint only one (1) Director so long as BKAP continues to own at least 25% of the aggregate number of BKAP Consideration Shares and remains a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of BKC, and (b) BKAP shall not be entitled to appoint any Directors if BKAP either (i) ceases to own at least 25% of the aggregate number of BKAP Consideration Shares or (ii) owns between 25% and 50% of the aggregate number of BKAP Consideration Shares but ceases to be a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of BKC; provided,

22

however, that if and to the extent that BKAP transfers any of its Shares to another Shareholder pursuant to clause 16.1(b), then such Shares so transferred shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining BKAP’s holdings with respect to this clause 11.19.

11.20                         To the extent reasonably practicable and permissible by law, the Parties shall seek to not have boards of directors for the members of the JVC Group other than the JVC but instead shall procure that decisions are otherwise made and implemented by each member of the JVC Group other than the JVC. To the extent any JVC Group Company other than the JVC is required by law to have a board of directors, the Parties shall procure that the structure and rights of such board shall reflect the provisions of this clause 11 mutatis mutandis.

11.21                         The Board may, by resolution, designate from among the Directors one or more committees (including an audit/finance committee and compensation committee), each of which will be comprised of at least two (2) Directors and may designate at least two the Directors as alternate members of any such committee who may, subject to any limitations imposed by the Board, replace absent or disqualified Directors at any meeting of that committee. Furthermore, each Shareholder who is entitled to appoint a Director to the Board shall also be entitled to appoint a Director to serve as a member of the audit/finance committee, the compensation committee and any executive committee. Any such committee, to the extent provided in such resolution, will have and may exercise all of the authority of the Board, subject to the limitations set forth by applicable law or in the establishment of the committee. Subject to the foregoing, any members thereof may be removed by the unanimous decision of Board. Except as otherwise determined by the Board or required by applicable law, the provisions of this clause 11 relating to the Board and the Directors will apply to each committee and its members, mutatis mutandis.

12.                               RESERVED MATTERS

12.1                                The Shareholders shall use their respective powers to ensure, so far as they are legally able, that no action or decision is taken (whether by the Board, any member of the JVC Group or any of their officers or managers) to proceed with any of the matters specified in clause 12.2 (Reserved Matters) without the prior written consent of BKAP and the Investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event BKAP or the Investor ceases to hold at least 50% of the aggregate number of Shares acquired by such Person at Closing (and in the case of BKAP, in the event BKAP ceases to be an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BKC), then BKAP or the Investor, as the case may be, shall no longer be entitled to approve Reserved Matters pursuant to this clause 12; provided, however, that if and to the extent that BKAP transfers any of its Shares to another Shareholder pursuant to clause 16.1(b), then such Shares so transferred shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining BKAP’s holdings with respect to this clause 12.

Any matters requiring a general meeting of or approval by the Shareholders under relevant corporate laws shall be dealt with in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles and applicable corporate laws.

13.                               ANTI-CORRUPTION LAWS AND COMPLIANCE

13.1                                The Shareholders shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree on and cause the JVC and each member of the JVC Group to adopt as soon as practicable following the Closing a compliance program and a code of business ethics to establish internal control and reporting mechanisms to prevent, detect, identify, investigate and correct unethical, illegal or otherwise improper business practices, including violations of the FCPA and all other anti- corruption, anti-bribery, fraud, kickback, anti-money laundering, anti-boycott laws, regulations or orders, and all similar laws, regulations or orders in the Territory and any other relevant jurisdictions applicable to the JVC Group (together, the Anti-Corruption Laws).

13.2                                Each member of the JVC Group shall provide anti-corruption training to its employees, officers, directors and any other appropriate third parties on a regular basis and the JVC shall comply with the accounting control provisions (if any) of such Anti-Corruption Law(s).

13.3                                Each member of the JVC Group shall undertake that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees or any other person or any other person or entity affiliated with or acting for or on the behalf of them shall,

25

(i) directly or indirectly, use or offer to use any corporate funds for unlawful contributions, unlawful gifts, unlawful entertainment or make any other unlawful payment relating to political activity; make any unlawful payment to a foreign or domestic government official (including employees of wholly state-owned or partially state-owned entities) or to foreign or domestic political parties or campaign; violate any Anti-Corruption Laws; make any unlawful bribe, unlawful rebate, unlawful payoff, unlawful influence payment, unlawful kickback or other similar unlawful payment; or establish or maintain any unlawful or unrecorded funds; or (ii) agree to give any unlawful gift or similar unlawful benefit to any customer, supplier, or other person or entity.

13.4                                Each Shareholder shall inform the other Shareholder promptly after becoming aware that any foreign official (within the meaning of the FCPA) acquires equity interests in such Shareholder, provided that any such notification obligations will limited to those persons with a direct controlling interest and decision-making power of the business operations of the Investor or in the contractual relationship established by this Agreement.

13.5                                The JVC shall, as part of the internal controls referenced in clause 13.1, devise and maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that—

13.6                                At any time after Closing, in the event a Shareholder believes, in good faith, that there is prima facie evidence suggesting a violation by a member of the JVC Group or any director, officer or employee thereof of any Anti-Corruption Laws (a Compliance Breach), such Shareholder shall be entitled to provide written notice of its concerns to the Board (a Compliance Notice).

13.7                                The Parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to procure that a meeting of the Board is convened as soon as practicable after a Compliance Notice is sent pursuant to clause 13.6. In the event that the Board fails, in the reasonable opinion of such Shareholder, to promptly decide upon and approve an appropriate method by which the Compliance Breach identified in the Compliance Notice may be remedied promptly, such Shareholder shall have the right to (i) refuse to commit any additional capital or funding to any member of the JVC Group, any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding and (ii) in the case of BKAP, cause the Investor to acquire all of its Shares at Fair Value in accordance with Schedule 10.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Shareholder’s right to take the action(s) specified above in this clause 13.7 shall be conditional upon (i) such Shareholder first receiving an opinion letter from external legal counsel representing the Shareholders providing such counsel’s view that

26

there is evidence establishing a prima facie violation of one or more Anti-Corruption Laws and the Board has failed to approve an appropriate method by which the Compliance Breach identified in the Compliance Notice may be remedied and (ii) such Shareholder’s representatives on the Board having voted in favor of taking remedial action. To effectuate the foregoing, the Shareholders undertake to promptly hire external legal counsel to conduct an investigation and issue such opinion within ten (10) days of a determination by the Shareholders that the Compliance Breach identified in the Compliance Notice cannot be remedied. If the Shareholders are unable to agree upon such external legal counsel, then the Shareholders agree that they will hire one of the following law firms (or their successors) within the applicable ten (10) day time period: Willkie, ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Sterling. The Shareholders shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to ensure such opinion is treated as confidential and privileged, and that such privilege is waived only after prior agreement by all Shareholders.

Maintenance of Books; Audit Rights

14.2                                JVC shall keep at the principal office of the JVC complete and accurate books, records and accounts of the JVC and supporting documentation of the transactions with respect to the conduct of the JVC’s business. Such books, records, and accounts shall, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the JVC in a manner compliant with the Anti-Corruption Laws. The books and records shall be maintained with respect to accounting matters in accordance with the Accounting Principles. All books and records shall be available at JVC’s principal office for examination by any Shareholder or such Shareholder’s duly authorised representative at any and all reasonable times during normal business hours with reasonable prior notice. Any Shareholder may request the audit of the JVC’s books and records at its own sole cost and expense.

Reporting

(c)                                          itemised revenue and capital budgets for each Financial Year covering each Subsidiary of the JVC and showing proposed trading and cash flow figures, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ levels and all material proposed acquisitions, disposals and other commitments for that Financial Year (a Budget); and

(d)                                         monthly/quarterly management accounts of each principal division of the JVC; these shall include a consolidated profit and loss account, balance sheet and cash flow statement broken down according to the principal divisions of the JVC.

27

Tax Filings

JVC shall always file on a timely basis all Tax declarations required under applicable Law and comply on a timely basis with their respective obligations under applicable Tax Law. JVC, at a Shareholder’s request, shall provide to such Shareholder any information reasonably required by the requesting Shareholder in order to comply with its own obligations under applicable Law, including the preparation of a Shareholder’s future tax returns as required by the relevant Authorities, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than 90 days following the end of the financial year to which it relates. Such information shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the requirements of the jurisdictions in which the tax reporting obligations apply from time to time as established by then current law or practice.

Auditors and Accounting Principles

14.4                                JVC shall prepare its financial statements and management accounts in accordance with the Accounting Principles.

14.5                                The Auditor of the JVC shall be one of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young or KPMG or their respective affiliated audit entities.

14.6                                The Parties agree that the Accounting Principles to be adopted by JVC must be in accordance with US GAAP.

15.                               CHANGE OF CONTROL; LISTING OF THE INVESTOR

15.1                                Until the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Investor undertakes to BKAP that no Change of Control of the Investor shall take place without the prior written approval of BKAP.

15.2                                From and after the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, if a Transfer of equity securities of the Investor would constitute a Change of Control, then BKAP’s right to participate in such Transfer pursuant to clause 24 shall be modified as described in clause 24.7.

15.3                                The Investor undertakes that it shall not list any of its share capital on any regulated market or stock exchange anywhere in the world prior to a Listing of the JVC’s Shares.

16.                               WARRANT; OPTION TO PURCHASE

16.1                              The Shareholders agree that:

(This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and such material has been filed separately with the Commission.).

28

17.                               LISTING

17.1                                Each of the Shareholders acknowledges and agrees that it is the intention that the JVC Group’s business should be developed so that, as soon as is practicable, the Shares in the capital of the JVC (or another intermediary holding company of the JVC Group’s business) are admitted to trading on the stock exchange of Hong Kong, Singapore or New York, or on any other regulated market of one or more recognised stock exchanges which provides a liquid and genuine market for the Shares of sufficient liquidity (a Listing).

17.2                                Without prejudice to clause 17.1, at any time after completion of all Subsequent Investor Cash Contributions, any Shareholder holding fifteen percent (15%) or more of the issued share capital of the JVC may give notice to the Board and the other Shareholders (a Listing Notice) that it desires the JVC and the other Shareholders to take such steps as may be necessary to obtain a Listing at the sole cost and expense of JVC.

17.3                                Following a Listing Notice, the JVC shall appoint an internationally recognised firm of investment bankers selected by the Board (which firm shall be reasonably familiar with the markets and sector in which the JVC Group operates and not a member of any Shareholder’s Group), to advise on the viability of obtaining a Listing and act as the managing underwriter in relation to the Listing (the Sponsor). If the Board determines, in consultation with the Sponsor, that a Listing is not viable, then the remaining provisions of this clause 15 shall cease to apply with respect to such Listing Notice. No Shareholder shall be entitled to give another Listing Notice until after six (6) months from the date of the previous Listing Notice. If the Sponsor advises that a Listing is viable, then:

(a)                                         the Shareholders will co-operate fully with each other and the JVC and their respective financial and other advisers in relation to the timing of, and actions to achieve, the Listing in accordance with the rules and regulations of the relevant recognised investment exchange or competent listing authority;

(b)                                         the Shareholders will provide all necessary assistance and information as the JVC or the Sponsor may reasonably require for the preparation and verification of any prospectus, listing particulars or registration statement in respect of the JVC;

(c)                                          if existing Shares are intended to be placed or offered for sale in connection with the Listing, each Shareholder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to place or offer for sale its Shares in connection with the Listing, pro rata to its Equity Proportion;

(d)                                         the Shareholders shall execute all such documents and deeds, and do all such acts and things, as the JVC or the Sponsor may request as being reasonably necessary or expedient for the purpose of obtaining the Listing and which are in accordance with market practice at such time (including altering the articles of association or

29

equivalent constitutional documents of any member of the JVC Group, entering into any agreement to be bound by dealing restrictions, passing such resolutions as may be required, approving the appointment and removal of Directors and the giving of customary warranties (including as to title to any shares) by the parties or Directors) conditioned upon completion of the Listing;

(e)                                          in the event that the governing body or listing authority of a stock exchange on which a Listing is sought requires that the franchise or intellectual property licence arrangements between BKAP and the JVC Group (the Business Arrangements) be revised in order to obtain a Listing on such stock exchange and the Parties believe it is in the best interest of the JVC Group to obtain a Listing on such stock exchange at such time, the Parties shall use their respective reasonable efforts to amend the then existing Business Arrangements (including the Master Franchise and Development Agreement) to facilitate the Listing conditioned upon completion of the Listing, while aiming to preserve the financial, development and other material terms contained within the then existing Business Arrangements; and

(f)                                           the parties will co-operate to ensure that the Shareholders will continue to be entitled to exercise board appointment and other control rights in relation to the JVC following the Listing (unless market practice at such time clearly indicates that such rights would be undesirable).

17.4                                No Shareholder shall be obliged to subscribe for any new securities of the JVC issued pursuant to any placing or offer for sale, including in connection with a Listing.

18.                               CONFIDENTIALITY

18.1                                BKAP and the Investor shall jointly agree, in writing, the manner, content and timing of the disclosure of any other press releases, announcements or any disclosures whatsoever relating to this Agreement and the transactions herein, except to the extent such release, announcement or disclosure may be required by Law, US or PRC franchise disclosure requirements and/or the US Securities and Exchange Commission (or any foreign equivalent) or other stock exchange on which the shares of a Party or its Affiliates at the time may be registered, in which case the Party required to make the release, announcement or disclosure shall (to the extent legally permitted reasonably practicable) allow the other Parties reasonable time to comment on such release, announcement or disclosure in advance of such issuance or disclosure and if desired, seek a protective order or similar relief, if applicable.

18.2                                Except as set forth above, each Party, for itself and its respective Affiliates, officers, employees, counsels, accountants and other authorised representatives, undertakes to keep this Agreement, its provisions and Exhibits, and all information and materials, whether written, oral, electronic or otherwise, obtained or received from the other Parties during the negotiation, preparation and performance of this Agreement, as well as all sensitive business and proprietary information related to any member of the JVC Group or their business operations, strictly confidential (Confidential Information). For the avoidance of doubt, Confidential Information shall not include ordinary-course-of-business information of a nature that is not customarily kept confidential. The Parties and their respective Affiliates further undertake not to use or disclose any Confidential Information except for the purposes hereof.

18.3                                Disclosure of information shall not be considered a violation hereof in case:

30

(a)                                 a prior written consent to the disclosure is obtained from the person which owns the Confidential Information;

(b)                                 the relevant information is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach hereof;

(c)                                  the information is or becomes known or available to the disclosing person or any of its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the person owning the information or any of its Affiliates) that, to the receiving person’s best knowledge, after due inquiry, it is not prohibited from disclosing such information as a consequence of an obligation owed to the person owning the information or any of its Affiliates;

(d)                                 the information is developed by the disclosing person independently and without reference to any Confidential Information of the person owning the information;

(e)                                  the information was already lawfully known to the receiving person or its Affiliates as of the date of its disclosure by the other person;

(f)                                   the information is required to be disclosed under applicable Laws, US or PRC franchise disclosure requirements and/or the US Securities and Exchange Commission (or any foreign equivalent) or other stock exchange on which the shares of a Party or its Affiliates at the time may be registered, provided that the disclosing person must always previously consult with the person owning the information before the disclosure thereof to the extent legally permitted and not impracticable;

(g)                                  in connection with a Listing; provided that any member of the JVC Group will not disclose any information of a nature proprietary to the Burger King System that is not customarily disclosed to investors in comparable situations and which a reasonable prospective investor would not need to know to make an informed investment decision, and provided further that BKAP shall have the right to review and approve any disclosure with respect to the Burger King System; or

(h)                                 to a potential acquirer of shares in a member of the JVC Group or Investor, subject to identifying the information as confidential to such person and such person entering into a customary confidentiality agreement providing for third-party beneficiary rights in favour of that member of the JVC Group or Investor, as the case may be, and JVC’s other shareholders or providing that the disclosing party shall be liable to BKAP for any disclosure of Confidential Information by such person in breach of its confidentiality restrictions.

18.4        If a Party becomes compelled in any Claim or is requested by a competent Authority to make any disclosure that is prohibited or otherwise constrained hereby, it shall provide the other Parties (to the extent legally permitted and not impracticable) with reasonably prompt notice of such compulsion or request so that it may seek (at its sole cost) an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions hereof. In the absence of a protective order or other remedy, such Party may disclose that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information that, based upon advice of such Party’s counsel, such Party is legally required or compelled to disclose or that has been requested by such Authority; provided, however, that such person shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded by any person to whom any Confidential Information is so disclosed.

31

18.5        The confidentiality obligations undertaken herein shall be valid and enforceable against the Parties until five (5) years after the later to occur of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms or such Party ceasing to be a Shareholder, provided that the confidentiality obligations with respect to Confidential Information relating to the Burger King System that is of a proprietary, trade secret nature shall continue indefinitely.

19.                               TAX MATTERS

19.1        Each of the Shareholders agrees to provide such information, and to co-operate to such extent, as may be reasonably requested in connection with the making of any returns, claims, or elections for taxation purposes (i) by JVC or any other member of the JVC Group in relation to the taxation affairs of the JVC Group or (ii) by any Shareholder in relation to the taxation affairs of any member (or former member) of its Group.

19.2                        Circular 698 Tax Matters.

(a)                                 Filing of Circular 698 Returns.

Within ten (10) Business Days of filing the Circular 698 Returns, BKAP shall provide the Investor with final, accurate copies of all such Circular 698 Returns that were filed.

(i)                  arising in respect of, by reference to or in consequence of any income, profits or gains earned, accrued or received in respect of any time prior to the Closing Date to the extent that such JVC Group member either retains the

32

benefit of such income, profit or gain at the Closing Date, or such income, profit or gain has been expended or distributed by such JVC Group member; or

(ii)               arising out of any failure, whether intentional or not, by such JVC Group member to comply with any applicable laws of the PRC or of any other applicable jurisdiction relating to Tax, occurring or arising from any fact, event or matter that occurred at any time prior to the Closing Date; or

(iii)            properly attributable to BKAP including any Tax payable pursuant to PRC Circular 698,

save to the extent that provision in respect of the liability to Tax has been made in the Last Accounts.

(b)                                 For the purpose of clause 19.3, there shall be treated as an actual payment of Tax equal to the amount of Tax saved in consequence of any use or set off of

(i)                  any relief arising to any JVC Group member in respect of an event occurring or period ending after Closing; or

(ii)               any relief arising to the Investor,

in circumstances where, but for such use or set off, such JVC Group member would have been liable to make an actual payment of Tax. Any reference to an event which occurs or occurred on or before Closing shall include a series or combination of events the first of which occurred on or before Closing.

(c)                                  Subject to the limitations set forth in clause 6.5, BKAP shall pay to the Investor or, at the Investor’s direction, the JVC (provided that in the Investor’s reasonable opinion they would be necessary for the purpose of the JVC’s operations) the full amount claimed under clause 19.3 (such amount shall be grossed up to include all Taxes, interests and penalties arising thereof) on or before the date which is forty-five (45) Business Days after written demand is made therefore.

(d)                                 BKAP hereby covenants with the Investor, subject to the limitations set forth in clause 6.5, to indemnify the Investor, their Affiliates and the JVC Group from, and to hold each of the foregoing persons harmless against any, Losses incurred by either of the foregoing persons at any time as a result of BKAP’s or its applicable Affiliate’s failure to make any filings or reports which are required to be made in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder and the Equity Transfers pursuant to the applicable tax laws, including the prevailing PRC Corporate Income Tax Law.

20.                               NON-COMPETITION; OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES

20.1        The Investor and any of its Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, each of its shareholders) shall not at any time acquire or own any ownership interest in, consult, open, operate or act as a franchisee for any Competitor whether directly or indirectly, with the exception of purely financial investments in publicly listed companies without the ability to control the strategy and business of such companies, not to exceed 5% of the outstanding equity of such publicly-listed company.

20.3           The obligations set out in clause 20.1 shall, with respect to any given party to which they apply, terminate twelve (12) months after the earlier of (i) the date on which neither it nor any of its Affiliates are shareholders in the JVC and (ii) the termination of this Agreement for any reason; provided that Cartesian’s obligation under this clause 20.3 shall terminate earlier if approved by BKAP in writing (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).

20.4           The Shareholders expressly acknowledge that,  (i)  subject to compliance with clause 20.1, the Investor and its respective Affiliates are permitted to have, and may presently or in the future have, investments or other business relationships with entities engaged in other, complementary or competing lines of business other than through the JVC Group (each, an Other Business), (ii) subject to compliance with clause 20.1, the Investor and its Affiliates may have or may develop a strategic relationship with businesses that are and may be competitive or complementary with the JVC Group, (iii) subject to compliance with clause 20.1, neither the Investor nor its respective Affiliates shall be prohibited by virtue of its investment in JVC from pursuing and engaging in any such activities, (iv) neither the Investor nor its respective Affiliates shall be obligated to inform the JVC or any of its Subsidiaries of any such opportunity, relationship or Investment, (v) the other Shareholders will not acquire or be entitled to any interest or participation in any Other Business as a result of the participation therein of the Investor and/or its Affiliates, and (vi) the involvement of any equityholder of the Investor and/or its Affiliates in any Other Business will not constitute a conflict of interest by such Persons with respect to the JVC or its Shareholders or any of its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing contained in this clause 20.4 shall limit the obligations of the Investor under clause 17 or 20.1.

21.                               REGULATORY MATTERS

21.1           The Shareholders shall co-operate with each other to ensure that all information required in connection with any notification or filing or request from a regulatory authority made in respect of this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by it, is supplied properly, accurately and timely.

The Parties shall co-operate to give effect to any agreed modifications.

22.                               TRANSFERS OF SHARES

22.1           Prior to a Listing or the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, whichever is the earlier, no Shareholder shall at any time, directly or indirectly, effect a Transfer of Shares other than:

34

(a)                                 a Transfer of Shares held by BKAP or the Investor to an Affiliate of BKAP or the Investor, respectively, provided that, in each case, the transferring Shareholder and the transferee shall provide an undertaking that, upon the transferee ceasing or proposing to cease to be an Affiliate of the transferring Shareholder, the transferee shall immediately transfer all of its interest in any Shares to the transferring Shareholder or to another member of the transferring Shareholder’s Group (an Intra- Group Transfer);

(b)                                 a Transfer to a Third Party Purchaser (after compliance with clauses 23 and 24):

(i)                 with the prior written consent of the non-transferring Shareholders at their sole discretion;

(iii)                   for Shares representing not more than (This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and such material has been filed separately with the Commission.)  of the Shares held by that Shareholder and is effected after the third anniversary but prior to the fourth anniversary of Closing Date; or

(iv)                  for Shares representing up to 100% of the Shares held by that Shareholder and is effected after the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date in accordance with and as required or permitted by clauses 23 and 24.

22.2        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Shareholder may, without the prior written consent of the other Shareholder, effect a Transfer of its Shares at any time:

(a)                                 when it is not in compliance in all material respects with any of its material obligations hereunder;

(b)                                 to a Competitor;

(c)                                  before the pre-emption and tag-along rights contained in clauses 23 and 24 have first been exhausted (other than an Intra-Group Transfer);

(d)                                 to a Third Party Purchaser when, if BKAP is the Non-Transferring Shareholder, BKAP has not yet received the results of a background check on the transferee and all principals thereof or such results reveal (i) prior or current criminal activity which would, or would reasonably be expected to, rise to the level of a felony offense; (ii) evidence of significant moral turpitude or reputational issues; or (iii) that the Third Party Purchaser or any of the principals thereof has voluntarily disclosed or admitted to, or has otherwise been found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have violated, attempted to violate, aided or abetted another party to violate, or conspired to violate, any of the Anti-Corruption Laws.

22.3                        The provisions of Schedule 9 shall apply in relation to any Transfer of Shares.

22.4        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the provisions of this clause 22 shall apply to any Transfer of equity securities of the Investor,  mutatis mutandis, provided that if (a) such Transfer would require the consent of BKAP pursuant to clause 22.1 (other than by operation of this clause 22.4), (b) the transferee will not have the right to appoint a member of the Board or the board of directors (or similar governing body) of the Investor, and (c) such

35

transfer will not result in a Change of Control, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary

36

contained herein, BKAP’s consent under clause 22.1 shall not be required with respect to such Transfer (it being understood and agreed, however, that the foregoing will not impact BKAP’s rights under clauses 22.2(b) and (d), which will continue to apply to such Transfer).

23.                               RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

23.1        If a Shareholder (the Transferor) wishes to accept a bona fide offer in writing (the Offer) to purchase all or a portion of its Shares made by a third party that is not an Affiliate of the Transferor (in each case, a Third Party Purchaser), it shall serve on the other Shareholders (each, a Non-Transferring Shareholder and collectively, the Non-Transferring Shareholders) a notice in writing (the Transfer Notice) offering to transfer all of the Transferor’s Shares to the Non-Transferring Shareholders in proportion (as nearly as may be) to the number of Shares held by the Non-Transferring Shareholders as at the date of the Transfer Notice and at the same price as set out in the Offer and on terms which are no less favourable than those contained in the Offer. The Transfer Notice shall:

(a)                                 state the number of Shares (the Relevant Sale Securities) which the Transferor is proposing to transfer and the number of Relevant Sale Securities offered to each Non- Transferring Shareholder (each a Proportionate Entitlement) (and for the avoidance of doubt if there is only one Non-Transferring Shareholder that Shareholder will be offered all of the Relevant Sale Securities);

(b)                                 state the price, which must be cash, at which the Transferor desires to Transfer the Relevant Sale Securities (the Sale Price);

(c)                                  give details of the Third Party Purchaser to whom the Transferor wishes to Transfer the Relevant Sale Securities;

(d)                                 include any other material terms of the proposed Transfer (the Transfer Offer Terms);

(e)                                  state the date (being a reasonably appropriate number of days after the date of service of the Transfer Notice) (the Reference Date) and place for completion of the Transfer in the event that the right of first refusal under clause 23.2 hereof is exercised; and

(f)                                   be irrevocable, once given.

23.2        Each of the Non-Transferring Shareholders shall be entitled, within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of a Transfer Notice (the Acceptance Period), to give notice in writing (the Purchase Notice) to the Transferor of:

(a)                                 its wish to purchase a Proportionate Entitlement of the Relevant Sale Securities offered to it by the Transferor at the relevant portion of the Sale Price and on the Transfer Offer Terms, to itself or to its Affiliate (in accordance with clause 21.1(a)); and

(b)                                 if applicable, its wish to apply for Relevant Sale Securities in excess of its Proportionate Entitlement by specifying in its Purchase Notice the number of Relevant Sale Securities in excess of its Proportionate Entitlement which it is prepared to purchase.

37

23.3           If there is more than one Non-Transferring Shareholder who serves a Purchase Notice, the Relevant Sale Securities shall be allocated to such Non-Transferring Shareholders in proportion as nearly as may be to their respective Proportionate Entitlements. If any Non- Transferring Shareholder fails to serve a Purchase Notice before the expiry of the Acceptance Period, it shall be deemed to have declined the offer by the Transferor constituted in the Transfer Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Third Party Purchaser in clause 23.1(c) happens to be a Shareholder, such Third Party Purchaser and the Non-Transferring Shareholder(s) having served a Purchase Notice as provided in this clause 23.3 shall purchase the Relevant Sale Securities in proportion, as close as possible, to their respective Proportionate Entitlements.

23.4        If any Non-Transferring Shareholder has applied for less than its Proportionate Entitlement:

(a)                                 the excess shall be allocated (as nearly as may be) to each Non-Transferring Shareholder who has applied for Relevant Sale Securities in excess of its Proportionate Entitlement, pro rata to the number of Shares held by the Non- Transferring Shareholders who have so applied as at the date of the Transfer Notice; and

(b)                                 any allocation made under this clause shall not, however, result in any Non- Transferring Shareholder being allocated more Relevant Sale Securities than it has applied for; any remaining excess shall be apportioned between the other Non- Transferring Shareholders by applying this clause excluding each Non-Transferring Shareholder who has been allocated the maximum it applied for.

23.5        If a Purchase Notice is served for all of the Relevant Sale Securities in accordance with the requirements of clause 23.2, then, subject only to any required Consents and compliance with applicable Law (including anti-trust requirements, if any):

(a)                                 the relevant Non-Transferring Shareholder(s) shall be bound to complete or procure the completion of the transfer of the Relevant Sale Securities at the Sale Price and upon the Transfer Offer Terms on the Reference Date and at the place stated in the Transfer Notice; and

(b)                                 the Transferor shall be bound, on receipt of payment of the Sale Price, to transfer the Relevant Sale Securities to the Non-Transferring Shareholder(s) or its Affiliate as the Non-Transferring Shareholder may direct, on the Reference Date and at the place stated in the Transfer Notice.

23.6        If any Consent has not been obtained by the Reference Date, completion of the Transfer will take place within ten (10) Business Days of the date on which of the last Consent to be obtained is obtained. If any Consent has not been obtained within ninety (90) days after the Reference Date, the Transfer Notice shall lapse and have no further effect.

23.7                        If:

(a)                                 at the end of the Acceptance Period, none of the Non-Transferring Shareholders has served a Purchase Notice or Purchase Notices have been served by Non-Transferring Shareholders for less than all of the Relevant Sale Securities; or

(b)                                 any of the Non-Transferring Shareholders which has served a Purchase Notice fails to proceed with the completion of the Transfer in accordance with clause 23.5 and any

38

other Non-Transferring Shareholders do not fulfil the defaulting Shareholders obligations,

23.8        (a ROFR Longstop Event), then the Transferor shall be at liberty thereafter to (i) withdraw its Transfer Notice and retain all the Relevant Sale Securities or (ii) transfer all the Relevant Sale Securities at any time within sixty (60) days of the ROFR Longstop Event to the person specified in the Transfer Notice on terms not more favourable than those offered to the Non-Transferring Shareholders under this clause 23. The Transferor shall indicate whether it has elected for option (i) or option (ii) by notice to the Non-Transferring Shareholders, within ten (10) Business Days of the ROFR Longstop Event. If it does not so elect, it shall be deemed to have elected for option (i).

23.9        For the avoidance of doubt, this clause 23 shall not apply in case of Intra-Group Transfers.

24.                               TAG ALONG RIGHT

24.1           If any of BKAP or the Investor, prior to a Listing, desires to Transfer all or any portion of its Shares on a bona fide arm’s length sale to a Third Party Purchaser in accordance with clause 23.7, it shall not complete the Transfer unless it ensures that the Third Party Purchaser offers to buy, on the same terms (including price per Share) that apply to the purchase of the Relevant Sale Securities, from each Non-Transferring Shareholder the Tag- Along Pro Rata Shares of the Shares to be sold. Non-Transferring Shareholders’ Tag-Along Pro Rata Shares shall mean the ratio that (i) the sum of the number of Shares held by Non- Transferring Shareholders bears to (ii) the sum of the total number of then issued and outstanding Shares of the JVC. The offer shall:

(a)                                 be irrevocable and unconditional (except for any conditions which apply to the proposed Transfer of the Relevant Sale Securities);

(b)                                 describe all material terms and conditions (including terms relating to price, time of completion and conditions precedent) agreed between the selling Shareholders and the Third Party Purchaser;

(c)                                  be governed by the laws of Hong Kong; and

(d)                                 be open for acceptance by the other Shareholders during a period of not less than ten (10) days after receipt of the offer.

24.2        Each Non-Transferring Shareholder shall, within ten (10) days following the delivery of the offer, deliver a written notice to the Transferring Shareholder, specifying its election and the number of Shares to be sold to the Third Party Purchaser. Failure of a Non- Transferring Shareholder to deliver its notice within such period shall be deemed a waiver by that Non-Transferring Shareholder of its rights under this clause 24. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall only be subject to no other Non-Transferring Shareholder exercising its right of first refusal under clause 23 within the Acceptance Period.

24.3        If a Non-Transferring Shareholder accepts an offer made in accordance with clause 24.1, the Transfer shall be conditional upon completion of the Transferor’s Transfer to the Third Party Purchaser and shall be completed at the same time as that Transfer.

39

24.4        The Non-Transferring Shareholder will Transfer its Shares to the Third Party Purchaser at the time and place at which the Transferor shall Transfer its Relevant Sale Securities to the Third Party Purchaser. The Non Transferring Shareholder will not be obligated to Transfer any Shares to the Third Party Purchaser if the Transferor defaults in its obligation to Transfer its Relevant Sale Securities to the Third Party Purchaser.

24.5        In the event that the material terms or conditions of the Transfer to the Third Party Purchaser set forth in offer shall be modified, or the Third Party Purchaser shall refuse to purchase the Shares from the Non Transferring Shareholder, the Transferor shall not Transfer to the Third Party Purchaser any Relevant Sale Securities without again complying with all of the terms and provisions of this clause. In addition, any Relevant Sale Securities that are not Transferred by the Transferor to the Third Party Purchaser in compliance with this clause prior to the date which is ninety (90) Business Days following the termination of the rights of the Non-Transferring Shareholder pursuant to clause 24.2 may not be Transferred by the Transferor without complying again with the provisions of this clause 24 and clause 23.

24.6        For the avoidance of doubt, this provision shall not apply in case of Intra-Group Transfers.

24.7        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the provisions of this clause 24 shall apply to any Transfer of equity securities of the Investor, mutatis mutandis, provided that if such Transfer would result in a Change of Control of the Investor, then at the option of BKAP, BKAP’s Tag Along Pro Rata Share shall mean 100% of BKAP’s Shares.

25.                               DEED OF ADHERENCE

25.1        The Parties will procure that it shall be a condition of any Transfer or issue of Shares that if the transferee or subscriber (the Acquirer) is not already a party to this Agreement whether as an original party or by having executed a Deed of Adherence, the Acquirer shall:

(a)                                 where the Acquirer will after such Transfer or issue of Shares hold 25% or more of the issued share capital of the JVC (disregarding any shares issued or transferred pursuant to clause 16 or pursuant to a management incentive plan approved by the Board), enter into and deliver to JVC, BKAP, the Investor and any other Shareholders a New Party Deed of Adherence in the form set out in Part B Schedule 7 in a legally binding manner before it becomes the holder of such Shares; or

(b)                                 where the Acquirer will not after such Transfer or issue of Shares hold 25% or more of the issued share capital of the JVC (disregarding any shares issued or transferred pursuant to clause 16 or pursuant to a management incentive plan approved by the Board), enter into a shareholders’ agreement with the JVC, BKAP, the Investor and any other Shareholders on terms to be agreed between the parties thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that no rights to vote in respect of any Reserved Matter or to appoint Directors to the Board shall be granted to such an Acquirer under its shareholders’ agreement.

25.2        An Acquirer who enters into a Deed of Adherence shall be designated by the Deed of Adherence as a Party and a Shareholder and shall also be designated as:

(a)                                 BKAP, if the Transfer is by BKAP to a Third Party Purchaser that acquires Shares representing at least 25% of the issued share capital of the JVC (disregarding any shares issued or transferred pursuant to clause 16  or pursuant to a management

40

incentive plan approved by the Board), or the Transfer, issue or allotment is to a member of BKAP’s Group.

(b)                                 the Investor, if the Transfer is by the Investor to a Third Party Purchaser that acquires Shares representing at least 25% of the issued share capital of the JVC (disregarding any shares issued or transferred pursuant to clause 16 or pursuant to a management incentive plan approved by the Board), or the Transfer, issue or allotment is to a member of the Investor’s Group.

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall in no event be construed as creating joint and several liability between Third Party Purchaser and either BKAP or the Investor, as the case may be, for the obligations set forth in this Agreement.

25.3        A person who has entered into a Deed of Adherence pursuant to this Agreement shall have the benefit of and be subject to the burden of all the provisions of this Agreement as if he were party to it in the capacity designated in the Deed of Adherence, and this Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly. A party may be designated in a Deed of Adherence in more than one capacity.

26.            TERMINATION

26.1 Unless terminated earlier in accordance with clause 4.4 or 26.4, this Agreement shall remain valid and in force with a fixed term until 31 December 2031, and shall thereafter automatically renew for additional 5 year periods unless terminated by a Shareholder with a six-month notice period with effect as of 31 December 2031 or the end of any of the subsequent five-year periods.

26.2  Without prejudice to clause 17.3(f), clauses 11, 12, 13, 15.2, 15.3, 17, 22, 23, 24 and 25 shall terminate and cease to be of further legal effect upon the consummation of a Listing.

26.3        Without prejudice to clause 17.3(f) or clause 26.2, upon the consummation of a Listing, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to amend this Agreement (taking into account the termination of the provisions enumerated in clause 26.2) to comply with applicable listing rules and to reflect the then-existing relationship among the Parties.

26.4        This Agreement:

(a)           may be terminated by written consent of all of the Parties hereto; and

(b)                                 shall be terminated with respect to any Shareholder, automatically upon the date such Shareholder ceases to be a shareholder of the JVC by the transfer of all of its Shares in the JVC in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

27.            WINDING UP

27.1        Prior to any resolution for winding up the JVC being passed, the Shareholders shall seek to agree on a suitable basis for dealing with the JVC’s interests and assets in such event. For this purpose:

(a)                                 the Shareholders shall co-operate (but without any obligation to provide any additional funding or guarantee) with a view to enabling all existing obligations of the

41

JVC to be completed insofar as its resources allow. The Shareholders shall consult together with a view to JVC novating or re-allocating outstanding contracts within the JVC Group’s business in a suitable manner;

(b)                                 JVC shall not assume any new contractual obligation for the supply of products or services;

(c)                                  unless the Shareholders agree otherwise, the Shareholders shall ensure that the JVC is wound up as soon as practicable; and

(d)                                 each Shareholder shall promptly deliver up to each other Shareholder, and JVC shall as soon as reasonably practicable deliver up to each Shareholder, all drawings, notes, copies or other representations of confidential information proprietary to and/or originating from that other Shareholder or its Group.

This Agreement shall terminate upon completion of such winding-up except that winding-up shall not affect the obligations of the parties under clause 18 (Confidentiality) which shall remain in full force and effect.

27.2        If BKAP ceases or is about to cease to be a Shareholder or to have any of its Subsidiaries as a Shareholder, each Shareholder shall, at the request of that party exercise its powers with a view to ensuring that the JVC’s name (or that of any other relevant member of the JVC Group) is changed so that it no longer includes the name, initials or trade ▇▇▇▇, or any reference to the name, initials or trade ▇▇▇▇, of the Shareholder making the request.

28.            FURTHER ASSURANCES

28.1        So far as it is legally able, each Shareholder agrees with the others to exercise all voting rights and powers (direct or indirect) available to it in relation to any person and/or JVC to ensure that the provisions of this Agreement (and the other agreements referred to in this Agreement) are completely and punctually fulfilled, observed and performed and generally that full effect is given to the principles set out in this Agreement.

28.2        Each Shareholder shall ensure that its Subsidiaries perform (i) all obligations under this Agreement which are expressed to relate to members of its respective Group and (ii) all obligations under any agreement entered into by any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement. The liability of a Shareholder under this clause 28.2 shall not be discharged, or impaired by any amendment to or variation of this Agreement any release of or granting of time or other indulgence to any of its Subsidiaries or any third party or any other act, event or omission which but for this clause would operate to impair or discharge the liability of such Shareholder under this clause 28.2.

29.            CLAIMS BY JVC AGAINST SHAREHOLDERS

If any member of the JVC Group has or may have any claim against a Shareholder or any member of its Group arising out of any agreement entered into by a Shareholder or any member of that Shareholder’s Group, that Shareholder will ensure that its nominated Directors shall not do anything to prevent or hinder any member of the JVC Group asserting or enforcing the claim against the first mentioned Shareholder and that they shall, if necessary, enable all decisions regarding such claim to be taken by the Directors nominated

42

by the Shareholders wishing to assert or enforce the claim. This is without prejudice to any right of the defendant Shareholder itself to dispute the claim.

30.            INDEPENDENCE OF OBLIGATIONS

Subject to any explicit provisions otherwise, the Shareholders shall not be jointly and severally liable with respect to their obligations under this Agreement.

31.            NON-ASSIGNMENT

No party shall (nor shall purport to) assign, transfer, charge or otherwise deal with all or any of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement nor grant, declare, create or dispose of any right or interest in it in whole or in part (otherwise than pursuant to a transfer of Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

32.            WAIVER OF RIGHTS

No waiver by a party of a failure by any other party to perform any provision of this Agreement operates or is to be construed as a waiver in respect of any other failure whether of a like or different character.

33.            AMENDMENTS

33.1        No amendment of this Agreement (or of any of the documents referred to in it) shall be valid unless it is in writing and duly executed by or on behalf of all the parties to it.

33.2        In the event that the governing body or listing authority of a stock exchange on a Listing is sought requires certain amendments to this Agreement to be made in order for the JVC Group or any part thereof to be eligible for admission to trading on that stock exchange, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement accordingly and shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the intended effect of the provisions of this Agreement is retained to the extent possible under such circumstances.

34.            INVALIDITY

Each of the provisions of this Agreement is severable. If any such provision is held to be or becomes invalid or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction it shall have no effect in that respect, and the Parties shall then use all reasonable efforts to replace the invalid or unenforceable provision by a valid provision the effect of which is as close as possible to its intended effect as possible.

35.            NO PARTNERSHIP OR AGENCY

Nothing in this Agreement (or any of the arrangements contemplated by it) is or shall be deemed to constitute a partnership between the Shareholders nor, except as may be expressly

43

2.                                      Each of the Valuation Experts shall determine its calculation of the fair price of the Valuation Shares on the following basis:

(b)                                 by valuing the Valuation Shares by reference to the value of the JVC as a whole (and therefore without regard to the size of any relevant holding); and

(c)                                  making no allowances for any expenses that might be incurred in connection with the issue, sale or purchase of the Valuation Shares.

3.                                      The Valuation Experts shall act as experts and not as arbitrators.
