If a transferee of Shares pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this Section 3.3 at any time ceases to be a Permitted Transferee of the transferring Shareholder, the transferee shall Transfer such Shares back to such transferring Shareholder.

3.4

Right of First Refusal of the Shareholders.

(a)

Transfers Subject to Right of First Refusal. If any Shareholder proposes to Transfer any Shares, the other Shareholders (other than Shareholders that acquired Shares through the ESOP(s)) shall have a right of first refusal (the “First Refusal Right”) with respect to such Transfer as provided in this Section 3.4. A Shareholder proposing to Transfer any Shares to a third party shall, prior to issuing the Transfer Notice (as defined below), confirm with the Company that the proposed transferee is not a Restricted Person, and if the Company confirms that the proposed transferee is a Restricted Person, the proposed Transfer to such third party may not proceed.

(b)

Transfer Notice. If a Shareholder (the “Transferring Shareholder”) either receives a bona fide offer to acquire Shares held by it and the Transferring Shareholder proposes to accept such offer or makes a bona fide offer to sell Shares held by it to a third party and the third party proposes to accept such offer, the Transferring Shareholder shall send a written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) to the Company and the other Shareholders (other than Shareholders that acquired Shares through the ESOP(s)) (the “Offerees”), which notice shall state (i) the name of the Transferring Shareholder, (ii) the name and address of the proposed transferee (the “Transferee”), (iii) the number and the type of Shares to be Transferred (the “Offered Shares”), (iv) the amount and form of the proposed consideration for the Transfer and (v) the other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer. In the event that the proposed consideration for the Transfer includes consideration other than cash, the Transfer Notice shall include a calculation of the fair market value of such consideration and an explanation of the basis for such calculation. The total value of the consideration for the proposed Transfer is referred to herein as the “Offer Price”.

(c)

Rights of the Offerees. For a period of 20 days after the date of delivery of a Transfer Notice (the “Offer Period”), the Offerees shall have the right, exercisable by each Offeree through the delivery of an Acceptance Notice as provided in Section 3.4(d), to purchase up to all of the Offered Shares at a purchase price equal to the Offer Price per Share and upon the other terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice. Each Offeree shall have the right to purchase a number of Offered Shares equal to the total number of Offered Shares multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares held by such Offeree and the denominator of which is the number of Shares held by all of the Offerees (such number, an Offeree’s “First Refusal Allocation”) in each case (for both the numerator and the denominator) on a fully diluted basis as of the date of the Transfer Notice. In addition, in the event that one or more Offerees declines or is deemed pursuant to Section 3.4(d) to have waived its First Refusal Right (“Non-Electing Offerees”), each Offeree electing to exercise its First Refusal Right (an “Electing Offeree”) shall have the right as provided in Section 3.4(d) to purchase all or a portion of the Offered Shares constituting the aggregate of the First Refusal Allocations of the Non-Electing Offerees (“Excess Offered Shares”). An Offeree may assign to an Affiliate of such Offeree its right to acquire Offered Shares pursuant to this Section 3.4, provided that such Affiliate is not a Competitor.

(d)

Exercise of Rights. The First Refusal Right of each Offeree under Section 3.4(c) shall be exercisable by delivering a written notice of exercise (an “Acceptance Notice”) within the Offer Period to the Transferring Shareholder, with a copy to each other Offeree. Each Acceptance Notice shall include a statement of (i) the number of Shares held by such Offeree and (ii) the maximum number of Excess Offered Shares (up to the total number of Offered Shares less such Offeree’s First Refusal Allocation) that such Offeree is willing to purchase, if any. An Acceptance Notice shall be irrevocable and shall constitute a binding agreement by such Offeree to purchase the relevant number of Offered Shares determined in accordance with Sections 3.4(c) and 3.4(e). The failure of an Offeree to give an Acceptance Notice within the Offer Period shall be deemed to be a waiver of such Offeree’s First Refusal Right.

(e)

Allocation of Excess Offered Shares. Each Electing Offeree shall have the right to purchase the number of Excess Offered Shares specified in such Electing Offeree’s Acceptance Notice; provided that if the number of Excess Offered Shares is less than the aggregate number of Excess Offered Shares that the Electing Offerees have indicated a willingness to purchase in their Acceptance Notices, the Excess Offered Shares shall be allocated by the Transferring Shareholder and agreed by all Electing Offerees in a fair manner such that each Electing Offeree shall have a right to purchase (i) not less than the total number of Excess Offered Shares multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares held by such Electing Offeree and the denominator of which is the number of Shares held by all Electing Offerees, in each case (for both the numerator and the denominator) on a fully diluted basis as of the date of the Transfer Notice and (ii) not more than the maximum number of Excess Offered Shares specified in such Electing Offeree’s Acceptance Notice.

(f)

Sale to Third Party Purchaser. If the Offerees do not elect in the aggregate to purchase all of the Offered Shares, the Transferring Shareholder may Transfer, subject to Section 3.5, the remaining Offered Shares (the “Remaining Shares”) to the Transferee identified in the Transfer Notice on the terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice; provided, however, that (i) such sale is bona fide, (ii) the price for the sale to the Transferee is a price not less than the Offer Price and the sale is otherwise on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Transferring Shareholder than those set forth in the Transfer Notice, (iii) the Transfer is made within four months after the giving of the Transfer Notice and (iv) the proposed transferee is not a Competitor. If such a Transfer does not occur within such four-month period for any reason, the restrictions provided for herein shall again become effective, and no Transfer of Shares may be made by the Transferring Shareholder thereafter without again making an offer to the Offerees in accordance with this Section 3.4.

(g)

Closing. The closing of any purchase of Offered Shares by the Offerees shall be held at the principal office of the Company at 11:00 a.m. local time on the 15th day after the giving of the Acceptance Notice or at such other time and place as the parties to the transaction may agree. The said fifteen (15) day period shall be extended for an additional period of up to forty-five (45) days if necessary to obtain any Regulatory Approvals required for such purchase and payment. At such closing, the Transferring Shareholder shall deliver certificates representing the Offered Shares, accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer and the Transferring Shareholder’s portion of the requisite transfer taxes, if any. Such Offered Shares shall be free and clear of any Encumbrance (other than Encumbrances arising hereunder or attributable to actions by the Offeree acquiring such Offered Shares), and the Transferring Shareholder shall so represent and warrant and shall further represent and warrant that it is the beneficial and record owner of such Offered Shares. Each Offeree purchasing Offered Shares shall deliver at such closing (or on such later date or dates as may be provided in the Transfer Notice with respect to payment of consideration by the proposed Transferee, or as otherwise agreed between the Transferring Shareholder and such Offeree) payment in full of the Offer Price.

If a Shareholder (other than a Shareholder, who, together with its Affiliates, holds less than 5% of the Shares on a fully-diluted basis) proposes to make a Transfer, provided that an Offeree does not exercise its First Refusal Right, such Offeree shall have the right (the “Tag-Along Right”) but not the obligation to require the proposed transferee in such Transfer to purchase from such Offeree, for the same consideration per Share and upon the same terms and conditions as to be paid and given to the Transferring Shareholder, up to a maximum number of Remaining Shares multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares held by such Offeree and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Shares held by the Transferring Shareholder and the Offerees exercising the Tag-Along Right, in each case (for both the numerator and the denominator) on a fully diluted basis as of the date of the Transfer Notice. If an Offeree elects to exercise its Tag-Along Right, the number of Shares to be Transferred by the Transferring Shareholder shall be reduced accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt, the Tag-Along Right under this Section 3.5 shall not be applicable to any Transfer proposed by a Shareholder, who together with its Affiliates, holds less than 5% of the Shares on a fully-diluted basis.

(ii)

Tag-Along Notice. If an Offeree elects to exercise its Tag-Along Right (the “Tag-Along Offeree”), such Offeree shall deliver a written notice (the “Tag-Along Notice”) of such election to the Transferring Shareholder within the Offer Period, specifying the number of Shares with respect to which it wishes to sell pursuant to the Tag-Along Right, subject to the maximum number of Shares calculated pursuant to Section 3.5(a). Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall constitute a binding agreement by such Shareholder to Transfer up to such number of Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice. The failure of the Tag-Along Offeree to give a Tag-Along Notice within the Offer Period shall be deemed to be a waiver of such Tag-Along Offeree’s Tag Along Right.

(iii)

Allocation of Remaining Shares. Within five (5) Business Days after the expiry of the Offer Period, the Transferring Shareholder shall send a notice to each Tag-Along Offeree specifying (1) the number of Remaining Shares, (2) the identity of each Tag-Along Offeree, (3) the number and type of Shares that each Tag-Along Offeree has requested to sell, and (4) the number and the type of Shares that each Tag-Along Offeree shall sell to the third party.

(b)

Consummation. The closing of the sale of Shares pursuant to the Tag-Along Right shall occur simultaneously with the Transfer of Shares by the Transferring Shareholder. Where any Offeree has properly elected to exercise its Tag-Along Right and the proposed Transferee fails to purchase Shares from such Offeree, the Transferring Shareholder shall not make the proposed Transfer, and if purported to be made, such Transfer shall be void.

3.6

Drag Along Rights.

(a)

If (i) the holders of more than 50% of the total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company (excluding any Shares issued or issuable pursuant to the ESOP(s) or other incentive programs of the Company) and (ii) the holders of at least 70% of the total issued and outstanding Preference Shares (voting as a single class on an as-converted basis) ((i) and (ii), collectively, the “Dragging Shareholders”) have jointly approved a Trade Sale at a per share price of no less than US$6.50 (subject to any appropriate adjustments for any share dividends, share subdivision, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Shares) (such approved Trade Sale, a “Drag-Along Event”), the Dragging Shareholders shall have the option, but not the obligation, to issue a written notice to the other Shareholders, and:

(i)

in the case of Drag-Along Event that is a sale of Shares to one or more purchasers (a “Drag-Along Sale”), each Shareholder shall sell all its Shares (or in the case of a sale of less than all of the Shares, its Pro Rata Share of the Shares to be sold) to the prospective purchaser or purchasers on the terms and conditions approved by the Dragging Shareholders, and for such purpose each of the other Shareholders shall, within 15 days after receipt of the notice specified above, deliver to the Company the endorsed share certificates and corresponding instruments of transfer, undated and executed in blank, representing all of the Shares held by such Shareholder, and the relevant letter of authority to the Company to dispose of the Shares as appropriate;

(ii)

in the case of a Drag-Along Event that is (1) a sale of all or substantially all of the Group Companies’ assets or an exclusive licensing of all or substantially all of the Group Companies’ intellectual property or (2) a merger or consolidation or other transaction effecting a sale of the Company or a Controlling interest in the Company, including without limitation by way of a scheme or arrangement or similar business combination (any of (1) and (2), a “Sale Transaction”), each other Shareholder shall (x) vote its Shares in favor of such Sale Transaction in the terms approved by the Board, in any vote of the Shareholders on such matter, (y) cause its designated Director(s) on the Board (as applicable) to vote in favor of the Sale Transaction and (z) otherwise take all actions necessary or appropriate to facilitate such Sale Transaction; and

(iii)

each Shareholder shall waive all rights of appraisal that it, he or she may have under applicable law with respect to the Drag-Along Event.

(b)

The Shareholders selling their Shares in a Drag-Along Sale other than the Dragging Shareholders (together, the “Drag-Along Shareholders”) shall agree to make or agree to the same customary representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Dragging Shareholders so long as they are made severally and not jointly, and the liabilities thereunder are borne on a pro rata basis based on the consideration to be received by each such Shareholder and in any event shall not exceed such Shareholder’s net proceeds from the Drag-Along Sale. Any representation relating specifically to a Dragging Shareholder or Drag-Along Shareholder shall be made only by such relevant Shareholder and any indemnity given with respect to such representation shall be given only by such relevant Shareholder. Each Dragging Shareholder and Drag-Along Shareholder shall be responsible for funding its pro rata share of (i) any escrow arrangements (if any) in connection with the Drag-Along Sale and, subject to the foregoing sentence, for its proportionate share of any withdrawals therefrom, and (ii) any fees, commissions, adjustments to purchase price, expenses and costs in connection with the Drag-Along Sale. No Shareholder or Affiliate of any Shareholder shall have any liability to any other Shareholder or the Company arising from, relating to or in connection with the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any proposed Transfer pursuant to this Section 3.6, except to the extent such Shareholder shall have failed to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.6.

(c)

Solely for purposes of Section 3.6(a)(ii) and in order to secure the performance of each Drag-Along Shareholder’s obligations under Section 3.6(a)(ii), each Drag-Along Shareholder hereby irrevocably appoints each other Shareholder that qualifies as a Drag-Along Proxy Holder (as defined below) as the attorney-in-fact and proxy of such Drag-Along Shareholder (with full power of substitution) to vote or provide a written consent with respect to its Shares as described in this Section 3.6(c) if, and only in the event that, such Drag-Along Shareholder fails to vote or provide a written consent with respect to its Shares in accordance with the terms of Section 3.6(a)(ii) (each such Shareholder, a “Breaching Drag-Along Shareholder”) within three (3) days of a request for such vote or written consent. Upon such failure, the Dragging Shareholders shall have and are hereby irrevocably granted a proxy to vote or provide a written consent with respect to each such Breaching Drag-Along Shareholder’s Shares for the purposes of taking the actions required by Section 3.6(a)(ii) (the Dragging Shareholders in such capacity, the “Drag-Along Proxy Holder”). Each Shareholder intends this proxy to be, and it shall be, irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and each Drag-Along Shareholder will take such further action and execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy and hereby revoke any proxy previously granted by it with respect to the matters set forth in Section 3.6(a)(ii) with respect to the Shares owned by such Shareholder.

(d)

For the avoidance of doubt, Sections 3.4 and 3.5 shall not apply in the event of a Drag-Along Event.

(e)

Notwithstanding the provisions provided in this Section 3, the prior written approval of Bitauto is required if the Trade Sale is to a Company Restricted Person, the prior written approval of Tencent is required if the Trade Sale is to a Tencent Restricted Person, the prior written approval of JD is required if the Trade Sale is to a JD Restricted Person and the prior written approval of Baidu is required if the Trade Sale is to a Baidu Restricted Person.

3.7

Avoidance of Restrictions. The Parties agree that the Transfer restrictions in this Agreement and in the Articles shall not be capable of being avoided by the holding of Shares indirectly through a company or other entity that can itself be sold in order to dispose of an interest in Shares free of such restrictions. Any Transfer or other disposal of any shares (or other interest) resulting in any change in the Control of a Shareholder or of any company (or other entity) having Control over that Shareholder shall be treated as being a Transfer of the Shares held by that Shareholder, and the provisions of this Agreement and the Articles that apply in respect of the Transfer of Shares shall thereupon apply in respect of the Shares so held.

3.8

Transfer of Convertible Securities. Any Transfer of Equity Securities exercisable or convertible into or exchangeable for Shares will be deemed for the purposes of this Section 3 to be a Transfer of Shares.

3.9

Notice of Transfer. After registering any Transfer of Shares or other Equity Securities on its books, the Company shall promptly send a notice to each Shareholder stating that such Transfer has taken place and setting forth the name of the transferor, the name of the transferee and the number and class of Equity Securities involved.

3.10

(a)

Except as provided under Section 4.1(c), the Company shall not issue any securities (including, without limitation, any Equity Securities or any debt or other securities of any kind) of any type or class (“Issuance Securities”) to any Person (the “Proposed Recipient”) unless the Company has offered each Preferred Shareholder in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 the right to purchase such Preferred Shareholder’s pro rata share of such Issuance Securities for a per unit consideration, payable solely in cash, equal to the per unit consideration to be paid by the Proposed Recipient and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as are offered to the Proposed Recipient. Any Shareholder who is not a Preferred Shareholder shall have no rights under this Section 4.

(b)

For the purposes of this Section 4, a Preferred Shareholder’s pro rata share of Issuance Securities at any time shall be calculated as the product of (i) the number of Issuance Securities and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total amount of Preference Shares owned by such Preferred Shareholder at such time, and the denominator of which is the total amount of Preference Shares owned by all Preferred Shareholders at such time, in each case (for both the numerator and the denominator) on a fully diluted basis.

(c)

The restrictions set out in Section 4.1(a) shall not apply to (i) any issuance of Ordinary Shares upon the conversion of the Preference Shares, (ii) issuance of Shares pursuant to a Qualified IPO, (iii) issuance of Shares pursuant to the ESOP(s) approved in accordance with this Agreement and the Articles, (iv) issuance of Equity Securities as consideration in connection with a bona fide business acquisition by the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, amalgamation or other business combination transaction, joint venture, sale or exchange of securities or other similar transaction involving the Company or a Group Company, approved in accordance with this Agreement and the Articles, (v) any Equity Securities issued in connection with any share split, share dividend, subdivision, combination, reclassification or other similar event in which all Preference Shares are entitled to participate on a pro rata basis, as approved in accordance with the Articles and (vi) any Series C Preference Shares issued pursuant to the Share Subscription Agreements or the Contribution Agreement.

4.2

Preemptive Offer Notice.

(a)

Not less than twenty (20) days before a proposed issuance of securities other than in connection with an issuance permitted under Section 4.1(c) (a “Proposed Issuance”), the Company shall deliver to each Preferred Shareholder a written notice (a “Preemptive Offer Notice”) which shall set forth (i) the number, type and terms of such Issuance Securities, (ii) the consideration to be received by the Company in connection with the Proposed Issuance and (iii) a summary of any other material terms and conditions of the Proposed Issuance, including the name of the Proposed Recipient and the proposed issuance date.

(b)

The Company shall, by delivering the Preemptive Offer Notice, offer each Preferred Shareholder the option to acquire all or any portion of its pro rata share of the Issuance Securities (the “Preemptive Offer”). Such Preemptive Offer Notice shall also be accompanied by any written offer, if any, from the Proposed Recipient to purchase such Issuance Securities. The Preemptive Offer shall remain open and irrevocable for the periods set forth below (and, to the extent the Preemptive Offer is accepted during such periods, until the consummation of the issuance contemplated by the Preemptive Offer).

4.3

Exercise of Preemptive Rights.

(a)

Each Preferred Shareholder shall have the right and option, for a period of fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Preemptive Offer Notice (the “Preemptive Acceptance Period”), to elect to purchase all or any portion of its pro rata share of the Issuance Securities (and any of its Affiliates’ pro rata share of the Issuance Securities not purchased by such Affiliates) at the purchase price and on the terms and conditions stated in the Preemptive Offer Notice. Each Preferred Shareholder may accept the Preemptive Offer by delivering a written notice (the “Preemptive Acceptance Notice”) to the Company within the Preemptive Acceptance Period specifying the maximum number of Issuance Securities such Preferred Shareholder will purchase. If any Preferred Shareholder does not exercise its preemptive rights under this Section 4.3 or elects to exercise such rights with respect to less than its pro rata share of the Issuance Securities, any Preferred Shareholder that has elected to exercise its rights with respect to its full pro rata share of the Issuance Securities (a “Fully Participating Shareholder”) shall be entitled to purchase from the Company an additional number of Issuance Securities equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of Excess Securities (defined below) and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total amount of Preference Shares owned by such Fully Participating Shareholder on the date of the Preemptive Offer, and the denominator of which is the total amount of Preference Shares owned by all Fully Participating Shareholders that elect to purchase Excess Securities, in each case (for both the numerator and the denominator) on a fully diluted basis.

For the purposes of this Section 4.3, “Excess Securities” means the aggregate number of Issuance Securities not taken up by the Preferred Shareholders pursuant to their pro rata share of the Proposed Issuance.

(b)

All sales of Issuance Securities to the Preferred Shareholders subject to any Preemptive Offer Notice shall be consummated contemporaneously at the offices of the Company on a mutually satisfactory Business Day within twenty (20) Business Days after the expiration of the Preemptive Acceptance Period. The delivery of certificates or other instruments, if any, evidencing such Issuance Securities shall be made by the Company, as applicable, on such date against payment of the purchase price for such Issuance Securities.

(c)

If any Issuance Securities set forth in the Preemptive Offer Notice remain unpurchased or unsubscribed after the Preferred Shareholders have either exercised or waived their rights under this Section 4.3, then the Company may issue all or any portion of such Issuance Securities so offered and not purchased or subscribed, at a price not less than the purchase price, and on terms and conditions not more favorable to the Proposed Recipient than the purchase price, terms and conditions stated in the Preemptive Offer Notice at any time within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Preemptive Acceptance Period (the “Issuance Period”); provided, that in connection with and as a condition to such issuance (solely in the case of any issuance of Shares), each purchaser or recipient of such Shares who is not then a party to this Agreement shall execute and deliver to the Company a signed Deed of Adherence substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B; provided, further, that if such issuance is subject to Regulatory Approval, the Issuance Period shall be extended until the expiration of the fifth (5th) Business Day following the receipt of all such Regulatory Approvals, but in no event later than one hundred and eighty (180) days following the expiration of the Preemptive Acceptance Period. In the event that all of the Issuance Securities is not so issued during the Issuance Period, the right of the Company to issue such unsold Issuance Securities shall expire and the obligations of this Section 4 shall be reinstated and such securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Preferred Shareholders in accordance with this Section 4.

(d)

Any Preferred Shareholder that fails to deliver a Preemptive Acceptance Notice in accordance with Section 4.3(a) shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any and all rights under this Section 4 with respect to a Preemptive Offer (but not with respect to any future Preemptive Offers). Any sale of securities by the Company without first giving the Preferred Shareholders the rights described in this Section 4 shall be void and of no force and effect.
