2.1	Ruixin hereby undertakes with the Company and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that, except as provided in clauses 2.2 and 2.3 it will not (and will procure so far as it is able that any Connected Person will not):

2.1.1

during the Restricted Period effect any Disposal of its interest in:

(i)

all or any Shares which are beneficially owned by it or any Connected Person or which it or any Connected Person will otherwise hold or control (otherwise than as a trustee) on or immediately following Admission; and

(ii)

all or any Shares which are allotted or issued to it pursuant to any capital reorganisation (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by way of capitalisation of profits, share premium account or any capital or reserve account of the Company or by way of any consolidation or sub-division of share capital) or by way of rights or otherwise on or after Admission and before the end of the Restricted Period in respect of any Shares beneficially owned, held or controlled by it or any Connected Person; and

2.1.2

without the consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) during the Semi-Restricted Period effect any Disposal of its interest in:

(i)

(ii)

all or any Shares which are allotted or issued to it or any Connected Person pursuant to the exercise of any share option, any capital reorganisation (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by way of capitalisation of profits, share premium account or any capital or reserve account of the Company or by way of any consolidation or sub-division of share capital) or by way of rights or otherwise after the Restricted Period and before the end of the Semi-Restricted Period in respect of any Shares beneficially owned, held or controlled by it or any Connected Person;

and unless such Disposal is made through ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (or the broker for the time being of the Company) or unless ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (or such other broker as there may be for the time being of the Company) notifies Ruixin in writing that such Disposal is approved through another broker. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges that its fees and commissions for brokering a Disposal under this clause 2.1.2 shall be reasonably competitive in the circumstances and it will use its reasonable endeavours to obtain a competitive sale price in respect of any such Disposal. If Ruixin wishes to effect any such Disposal then, in the case of a sale or transfer of Shares, it shall instruct ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to arrange for the sale or transfer of such Shares (the “Locked-In Shares”) at not less than the minimum price which it requests for the Locked-In Shares (the “Specified Price”). If ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ fails to arrange for the sale or transfer of the Locked-In Shares at a price not less than the Specified Price within five Dealing Days of being instructed to do so and otherwise in accordance with usual market procedures and terms of sale (including commission) then Ruixin shall be entitled to sell all or any of the Locked-In Shares otherwise than through ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ within a further five Dealing Days thereafter provided that the Locked-In Shares are not sold at a price less than the Specified Price.

2.2	The parties agree that:

2.2.1

the restrictions contained in clause 2.1.1 shall not apply to any of the following:

(i)

any Disposal pursuant to a court order made by a court of competent jurisdiction;

(ii)

an acceptance of a general offer for the ordinary share capital of the Company or the provision of an irrevocable undertaking to accept such an offer;

2.2.2

the restrictions contained in clause 2.1.2 shall not apply in respect of any Disposal made by Ruixin (i) in order to satisfy a claim made against ▇▇ ▇▇ under or in connection with the Placing Agreement or (ii) to Bai ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ in accordance with the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement.

2.3	Any Disposal permitted pursuant to the provisions of clause 2.2 shall be subject to the following provisions:

2.3.1

any Disposal shall be notified in advance to the Company and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in writing at least five Business Days prior to the entry into of any agreement or undertaking relating to the same; and

2.3.2

if Ruixin wishes or is required (as the case may be) to make a Disposal pursuant to clause 2.2.1(i) or clause 2.2.1(ii) it shall (i) notify the Company and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in advance (in accordance with clause 2.3.1) of the intention to effect such a Disposal and (ii) in the case of a sale or transfer of Shares, instruct ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to arrange for the sale or transfer of such Shares (the “Locked-In Shares”) at not less than the minimum price which it requests for the Locked-1n Shares (the “Specified Price”) and if ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ fails to arrange for the sale or transfer of the Locked-1n Shares at a price not less than the Specified Price within five Dealing Days of being instructed to do so and otherwise in accordance with usual market procedures and terms of sale (including commission) then Ruixin shall be entitled to sell all or any of the Locked-In Shares otherwise than through ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ within a further five Dealing Days thereafter provided that the Locked-In Shares are not sold at a price less than the Specified Price;

subject always to the Company and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ having the right, at their reasonable discretion, to waive the notice period under clause 2.3.1.

3.	DEPOSIT OF SHARE CERTIFICATE

In addition and without prejudice to the provisions of clause 2 and by way of security in respect of the performance of Ruixin’s obligations under clause 2 Ruixin shall within 5 Business Days of the date of this Deed and in any event no later than 2 Business Days prior to the date of Admission deposit the share certificate representing the Shares held by it in the Company with the Company’s Solicitors to be dealt with in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Letter.

4.	GUARANTEE

▇▇ ▇▇ hereby unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to procure and guarantees (as primary obligor and not as surety only) to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Company the due and proper performance by Ruixin of all its obligations under this Deed. This guarantee shall be a continuing security and shall not be discharged or released or varied by any

arrangement whatsoever between ▇▇ ▇▇ and Ruixin or otherwise without the prior written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Company. Nothing in this clause shall remove or mitigate the liability of Ruixin under or in connection with this Deed for any default in the performance of its obligations under this Deed.

5.	CONFIDENTIALITY

Each party undertakes to each other party that it will not at any time hereafter use, divulge or communicate to any person, except to its professional representatives or advisers or as may be required by law or any legal or regulatory authority, any confidential information concerning the business or affairs of each other party or of any member of the group of companies to which the other party belongs which may have or may in future come to its knowledge and each of the parties shall use its reasonable endeavours to prevent the publication or disclosure of any confidential information concerning such matters.

6.	WAIVER AND REMEDIES

The failure to exercise or delay in exercising a right or remedy provided by this Deed or by law does not constitute a waiver of the right or remedy or a waiver of other rights or remedies. A waiver of a breach of any of the terms of this Deed or of a default under this Deed does not constitute a waiver of any other breach or default and shall not affect the other terms of this Deed. A waiver of a breach of any of the terms of this Deed or of a default under this Deed will not prevent a party from subsequently requiring compliance with the waived obligation. The rights and remedies provided by this Deed are cumulative and (subject as otherwise provided in this Deed) are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

7.	LANGUAGE

This Deed is drawn up in the English language. If this Deed is translated into another language, the English language text shall in any event prevail.
