(b)

If Puyi, in its sole discretion, agrees to release or waive the restrictions in lock-up undertakings pursuant to this Section 5.2, in each case for an officer or director of ▇▇▇▇, and provide Puyi with notice of the impending release or waiver at least three business days before the effective date of the release or waiver, ▇▇▇▇ agrees to announce the impending release or waiver by a press release substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver.

Section 5.3. Registration Rights. Puyi covenants and agrees as follows:

(a)

Definitions. For purposes of this Section 5.3:

“Registrable Shares” means (i) the Puyi Exchange Shares, and (ii) any other securities of Puyi issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, such Puyi Exchange Shares.

“Register”, “registered” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by filing a registration statement in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the declaration or ordering by the Securities & Exchange Commission of effectiveness of such registration statement, or the equivalent actions under the laws of another jurisdiction.

(b)

Incidental Registration. If ▇▇▇▇, at any time proposes to (a) register any of its newly issued securities for primary sale in an underwritten offering, or (b) register for resale outstanding securities of Puyi previously issued to a third party in a private placement in such aggregate number that at the time of such issuance equals or exceeds thirty percent (30%) of ▇▇▇▇’s then total issued and outstanding shares, it shall give notice to each of the Fanhua Parties of such intention. Upon the written request of a Fanhua Party, given within twenty (20) days after receipt of any such notice, Puyi shall include in such registration all of the Registrable Shares indicated in such request, so as to permit the disposition of the Registrable Shares so registered, at the expense of ▇▇▇▇, provided that all underwriting commissions shall be paid by the parties selling shares with respect to their shares sold. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.3, if the registration is underwritten and the managing underwriter advises Puyi that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the number of Puyi Exchange Shares that may be included in such registration shall be reduced as required by the underwriters, and the securities to be registered in such registration shall be allocated as follows: first, securities proposed to be sold by Puyi or resold by such third party, as applicable, shall be registered; and second, the Registrable Shares requested to be registered by the Fanhua Parties shall be registered, (such Registrable Shares to be divided among the Fanhua Parties, on a pro rata basis, based on the total number of Registrable Shares requested to be registered). Puyi may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of such an incidental registration at any time in its sole discretion.

(c)

Form F-3 Registration.

(i)

At any time during the three (3) year period following the expiration of the Lock-up Period, in case Puyi shall receive from any Fanhua Party holding, in the aggregate, at least twenty percent (20%) of the Puyi Exchange Shares issued hereunder a written request or requests that Puyi effect a registration on Form F-3, and any related qualification or compliance, with respect to Registrable Shares, Puyi shall within twenty (20) days after receipt of any such request give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Fanhua Parties, and include in such registration all Registrable Shares held by all such Fanhua Parties who wish to participate in such registration and provide Puyi with written requests for inclusion therein within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of ▇▇▇▇’s notice. Thereupon, Puyi shall, at its expense, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Fanhua Parties’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Shares of any other Fanhua Parties joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from Puyi;

(ii)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the underwriter advises the Fanhua Parties in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten (or, in the case such registration and offering shall not be underwritten, any other factor arises requiring such a limitation in the number of shares to be so registered), then there shall be included in such registration and underwriting to the extent necessary to satisfy such limitation the Registrable Shares held by the Fanhua Parties (pro rata to the respective number of Registrable Shares required by such Fanhua Parties to be included in the registration).

(iii)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Puyi shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 5.3, (i) if Form F-3 is not available for such offering by the Fanhua Parties; (ii) if the Fanhua Parties, together with the holders of any other securities of Puyi entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Shares and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public (net of any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) of less than One Million United States dollars ($1,000,000); (iii) if Puyi shall furnish to the Fanhua Parties a certificate signed by the President or CEO of ▇▇▇▇ stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of Puyi it would be seriously detrimental to Puyi or its shareholders for such Form F-3 registration statement to be effected at such time, in which event Puyi shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form F-3 registration statement for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request of the Fanhua Parties under this Section 5.3; provided, however, that Puyi shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; (iv) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to ▇▇▇▇’s estimated date of filing of, and ending on the date six (6) months immediately following the effective date of, any registration statement pertaining to securities of Puyi (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan), provided that ▇▇▇▇ is actively employing in good faith reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and that ▇▇▇▇’s estimate of the date of filing such registration statement is made in good faith; (v) in any particular jurisdiction in which Puyi would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance; or (vi) if Puyi has already effected one F-3 registration statement under this Section 5.3.

(d)

Indemnities. In the event of any registration of Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 5.3:

(i)

Puyi will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any Fanhua Party and any underwriter for such Fanhua Party, and each person, if any, who controls the Fanhua Party or such underwriter, from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, joint or several, costs and expenses (including any amounts paid in any settlement effected with Puyi’s reasonable consent) to which the Fanhua Party or any such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under applicable law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, damages, claims, liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), costs or expenses arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement or included in the prospectus, as amended or supplemented, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading, or (iii) a violation of applicable securities laws by ▇▇▇▇, and ▇▇▇▇ will reimburse the Fanhua Party, such underwriter and each such controlling person of the Fanhua Party or the underwriter, promptly upon demand, for any reasonable legal or any other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that Puyi will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, damage, liability, cost or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished in writing by a Fanhua Party, such underwriter or such controlling persons specifically for inclusion therein; provided, further, that this indemnity shall not be deemed to relieve any underwriter of any of its due diligence obligations; provided, further, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.3(d)(i) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of Puyi, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the selling shareholder, the underwriter or any controlling person of the selling shareholder or the underwriter, and regardless of any sale in connection with such offering by the selling shareholder. Such indemnity shall survive the transfer of securities by a selling shareholder.

(ii)

Each Fanhua Party participating in a registration hereunder will indemnify and hold harmless Puyi, each other Fanhua Party participating in such registration, any underwriter for Puyi, and each person, if any, who controls Puyi or such underwriter or such other Fanhua Party, from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, costs or expenses (including any amounts paid in any settlement effected with the selling shareholder’s reasonable consent) to which Puyi or any such controlling person and/or any such underwriter and/or such other Fanhua Party may become subject under applicable law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, damages, claims, liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), costs or expenses arise out of or are based on (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement or included in the prospectus, as amended or supplemented, or (ii) the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, and each such Fanhua Party will reimburse Puyi, each other Fanhua Party participating in such registration, any underwriter and each such controlling person of Puyi or any underwriter, promptly upon demand, for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was so made in strict conformity with written information furnished by such Fanhua Party specifically for inclusion therein. The foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) made in the preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus at the time the registration statement becomes effective or in the final prospectus, such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of (i) Puyi and (ii) any underwriter, if a copy of the final prospectus was not furnished to the person or entity asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Securities Act; provided, further, that this indemnity shall not be deemed to relieve any underwriter of any of its due diligence obligations; provided, further, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.3(d)(ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Fanhua Party, as the case may be, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In no event shall the liability of a Fanhua Party exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Fanhua Party.

(iii)

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party pursuant to the provisions of Sections 5.3(d)(ii) or 5.3(d)(ii) of notice of the commencement of any action involving the subject matter of the foregoing indemnity provisions, such indemnified party will, if a claim thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions of said Sections 5.3(d)(ii) or 5.3(d)(ii), promptly notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than hereunder. In case such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and there is a conflict of interests which would prevent counsel for the indemnifying party from also representing the indemnified party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select one separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party pursuant to the provisions of said Sections 5.3(d)(ii) or 5.3(d)(ii) for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed counsel in accordance with the provision of the preceding sentence, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within 15 days after the notice of the commencement of the action, or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(iv)

If recovery is not available under the foregoing indemnification provisions, for any reason other than as specified therein, the parties entitled to indemnification by the terms thereof shall be entitled to contribution to liabilities and expenses. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, there shall be considered the parties’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. In no event shall the liability of a Fanhua Party exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Fanhua Party.

Section 5.4. PRC Tax Matters.

(a)

The Parties hereby acknowledge, covenant and agree that (i) Puyi shall have no obligation to pay any Tax assessed by the applicable PRC Taxing Authority on the Fanhua Parties, or any other Tax of a nature that is required by applicable Law to be paid by the Fanhua Parties with respect to the sale of the Fanhua Exchange Shares or the Fanhua Exchange ADSs pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the Fanhua Parties agree to bear and pay any Tax assessed by the applicable PRC Taxing Authority on any Fanhua Party with respect to the sale of the Fanhua Exchange Shares and the Fanhua Exchange ADSs pursuant to this Agreement, if applicable.

If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third-Party Claim, then such Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim at its or their expense and through counsel of its or their choice if it or they give notice of such intention to do so to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, within fourteen (14) calendar days of the receipt of notice from any Indemnified Party of such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties in its or their sole and absolute discretion for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties, then the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to retain its or their own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties. In the event that the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties exercise the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third-Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties in such defense and make available to any Indemnifying Party, at such Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by such Indemnifying Party.

No Third-Party Claim may be settled (i) by any Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties acknowledge in writing its or their obligation to indemnify such Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third-Party Claim or (ii) by any Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties, except, in the case of (ii) only, where settlement of such Third-Party Claim (A) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties from all liability arising out of such Action, audit, demand or assessment and (B) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

Any arbitrator that is not so appointed shall instead be appointed in accordance with the HKIAC Rules.

(iv)

The language to be used in the arbitration proceedings shall be English.

Section 7.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the Parties and/or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Section 7.11. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, ▇▇▇▇ and the Fanhua Parties shall negotiate together in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of ▇▇▇▇ and the Fanhua Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 7.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 7.13. Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which a Party may be entitled, at law or in equity, it shall be entitled to seek enforcement of any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to seek temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without the necessity of posting any bond or other undertaking.

Section 7.14. Joint and Several. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Fanhua Parties hereunder are given on a joint and several basis, and the Fanhua Parties agree to cause Fanhua to perform and comply with all of its obligations hereunder.
