This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Delaware without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles thereof that would result in the application of the law of a jurisdiction other than Delaware. No provision of this Agreement or any related document will be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party having or being deemed to have structured or drafted such provision.

Section 83(b) Election

Background Information

Attached are materials which may be used to make an election under Section 83(b) (“Section 83(b) Election”) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to your acquisition of Class B Units (the “Company Interest”) of Endeavor China Direct, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”). (For tax purposes, your Company Interest is treated as an interest in a partnership.) One copy of the election (along with the letters to the Company and the IRS) must be provided to ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ at the Company (by overnight FedEx or UPS), no later than                     . The “date on which property was transferred” (as described in Section 3 of the Section 83(b) Election) or “Date of Grant” is the date on which the Company countersigns the Class B Unit Award Agreement following receipt of your signed signature page to such award agreement (i.e., Section 3 of the Section 83(b) Election will be completed by the Company once it countersigns the Class B Unit Award Agreement).

The Class B Unit Award Agreement pursuant to which your Class B Units were acquired requires you to make a Section 83(b) Election with respect to the Class B Units. The purpose of the Section 83(b) Election is to make sure that you are treated for tax purposes as owning your Class B Units on the Date of Grant. Otherwise, you might be treated as receiving a portion of your Class B Units on each applicable vesting date, and you would then be required to recognize ordinary compensation income on each vesting date, in amounts equal to the fair market value of the portion of your Class B Units that vests on each vesting date (minus what you paid for that portion).

By making the Section 83(b) Election you are electing to be taxed as of the Date of Grant on the value of the Company Interest you received on the Date of Grant in excess of the amount you paid. The Company believes that the fair market value of your Company Interest should be equal to $0 on the Date of Grant and therefore will not be reporting you as having any compensation income on account of the transfer on the Date of Grant and your related Section 83(b) Election. You should consult your own tax advisor in these matters.
