For the avoidance of doubt, such Exercising Party may specify in its Reply Notice an Exercise Amount higher or lower than its Proportionate Amount (as defined below). The Offered Securities shall be allocated among each Exercising Party in proportion to its respective Proportionate Amount (with rounding to avoid fractional shares), at the Offer Price and on the same material terms and conditions as specified in the Transfer Notice PROVIDED THAT in no event shall an amount greater than such Exercising Party’s Exercise Amount be allocated to such Exercising Party.
	(ii)		Any Offered Securities not yet allocated to the Exercising Parties after employing the procedures set out in Clause 4.3(b)(i) (the “Excess Offered Securities”) shall be allocated, among all such Exercising Parties whose Exercise Amounts have not yet been satisfied, in proportion to each such Exercising Party’s respective Excess Proportionate Amount (as defined below) (with rounding to avoid fractional shares), at the Offer Price and on the same material terms and conditions as specified in the Transfer Notice PROVIDED THAT in no event shall an Exercising Party be required to purchase more Equity Securities pursuant to this Clause 4.3(b)(ii) than the Exercise Amount specified by such Exercising Party in its Reply Notice and PROVIDED FURTHER THAT the procedures set out in this Clause 4.3(b)(ii) shall be employed only once in any proposed Transfer of the Equity Securities. The Remaining Equities Holder(s)’(s) right to purchase any Offered Securities pursuant to this Clause 4.3(b) shall be subject to Clause 4.3(d).
	(iii)		An Exercising Party’s “Proportionate Amount” is equal to the product obtainable by multiplying (x) the total number of Offered Securities, by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Ordinary Shares Equivalents owned or held by such Exercising Party on the date of the Transfer Notice and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of all Ordinary Shares Equivalents owned or held by all the Exercising Parties on the date of the Transfer Notice.

(iv)

An Exercising Party’s “Excess Proportionate Amount” is equal to the product obtainable by multiplying (x) the total number of Excess Offered Securities, by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Ordinary Shares Equivalents owned or held by such Exercising Party on the date of the Transfer Notice and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares Equivalents owned or held by all the Exercising Parties on the date of the Transfer Notice whose Exercise Amount has not yet been satisfied after employing the procedures set out herein.

	(c)		If, and only if, not all of the Offered Securities being offered by the Transferor are allocated to the Remaining Equities Holder(s) after employing the procedures set out in Clause 4.3(b), the Transferor may sell the remaining Offered Securities to the prospective transferee(s) as specified in the Transfer Notice on terms not more favourable to the proposed transferee than as specified in the Transfer Notice in accordance with and subject to the terms set out in Clauses 4.4 and 4.5.
	(d)		The completion of the purchase by the Exercising Parties of the Offered Securities pursuant to this Clause 4.3 shall occur at such a place and time as the parties to the transaction may agree, which shall not be later than sixty (60) days after the receipt of the Transfer Notice by the Exercising Parties. At such completion, the Transferor shall deliver certificates representing the Offered Securities and share transfer form(s) for such Offered Securities duly executed by the Transferor and accompanied by all requisite transfer documents. The Transferor shall represent and warrant that the Offered Securities shall be free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than those imposed by this Agreement, the Memorandum, the Articles and any other Transaction Documents) but subject to any registration requirements imposed by any Applicable Law and that it is the beneficial owner of the Offered Securities and has full authority to Transfer the Offered Securities. Each Exercising Party shall deliver at such completion to the Transferor by bank cheque or by bank remittance the appropriate amount in respect of the Offered Securities to be purchased by such Exercising Party.
	(e)		Should the Offer Price specified in the Transfer Notice be payable in securities or property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the Exercising Parties shall have the right to pay for the Offer Price in such securities or property or in the form of cash equal in amount to the fair market value of such securities or property, and the Transferor shall liaise with the Company before the dispatch of the Transfer Notice to appoint an independent third party valuer (the “Valuer”) approved by the Transferor and the Exercising Parties to determine such fair market value as at the latest practicable date reasonably selected by the Valuer. The determination of such fair market value by the Valuer shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding for all parties concerned and shall be included in the Transfer Notice together with a copy of the report from the Valuer stating therein the basis for calculating such fair market value. The costs for appointing the Valuer for determination of such fair market value shall be borne by the Transferor. The Valuer shall act as expert and not as an arbitrator.

4.4

Right of Co-Sale

(a)

In respect of any Offered Securities proposed to be Transferred by a Transferor, any of the holders of Preferred Shares (a “Co-Sale Party”), if it does not exercise its right of first refusal pursuant to Clause 4.3 shall, upon notifying the Transferor and the Company in writing (a “Co-Sale Notice”) within 10 Business Days after the receipt by the Co-Sale Party of the Transfer Notice, have the right to participate in the sale of

			such Offered Securities including, for the avoidance of doubt, sales effected to any Exercising Party pursuant to Clause 4.3 on the same terms and conditions as specified in the Transfer Notice and sales effected to any third party transferee(s) on the same terms and conditions that the Transferor sells any Equity Securities to such third party transferee(s). The Co-Sale Notice shall indicate the class and number (the “Co-Sale Exercise Amount”), which shall be up to the Co-Sale Party’s Co-Sale Proportionate Amount (as defined below) (with rounding to avoid fractional shares) of the Shares (the “Co-Sale Securities”) which the Co-Sale Party wishes to co-sell under its right to participate hereunder. To the extent that the Co-Sale Party exercises its right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Clause 4.4, the number of Offered Securities that the Transferor may sell shall be correspondingly reduced. In no event shall a Co-Sale Party be allowed or required to sell more Shares pursuant to this Clause 4.4 than the Co-Sale Exercise Amount as specified in its Co-Sale Notice.
	(b)		Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Clause 4.4, where the Offered Securities consist of Ordinary Shares and the Co-Sale Party has no Ordinary Shares or insufficient Ordinary Shares to participate in the sale of the Offered Securities, the Co-Sale Party shall be entitled to exercise its right of co-sale by first converting any Convertible Securities it then holds into Ordinary Shares, and to sell such converted Ordinary Shares in the exercise of its rights under this Clause 4.4. The Company agrees to make any such conversion contingent upon the completion of the actual sale of such converted Ordinary Shares by the Co-Sale Party to any prospective purchaser pursuant to this Clause 4.4.
	(c)		The Co-Sale Party shall effect its participation in the co-sale by promptly delivering to the Company for transfer to the prospective purchaser or purchasers one or more certificates and share transfer form(s) duly executed by the Co-Sale Party (and accompanied by all requisite transfer documents), which represent the number of Co-Sale Securities which the Co-Sale Party elects to sell pursuant to this Clause 4.4.
	(d)		The share certificate or certificates and all requisite transfer documents that the Co-Sale Party delivers to the Company pursuant to Clause 4.4(c) shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser or purchasers in consummation of the sale of the Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice, and the Company shall concurrently therewith remit to the Co-Sale Party that portion of the sale proceeds to which the Co-Sale Party is entitled by reason of its participation in the co-sale, provided that the Company has received such sale proceeds from the prospective purchaser. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers refuses to purchase Shares from the Co-Sale Party exercising its rights of co-sale hereunder, the Transferor shall not be entitled to sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Transferor shall purchase such Shares from the Co-Sale Party for the same consideration and on terms and conditions no less favourable to the Co-Sale Party than as described in the Transfer Notice.
	(e)		The Co-Sale Parties shall in no event be required to make any representations and warranties other than the Co-Sale Parties’ due organisation, due authorisation and those in respect of the Co-Sale Securities being free and clear of all Encumbrance.
	(f)		A Co-Sale Party’s “Co-Sale Proportionate Amount” is equal to the product obtainable by multiplying (x) the total number of Offered Securities, by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Ordinary Shares Equivalents owned by

			such Co-Sale Party on the date of the Transfer Notice and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares and Ordinary Shares Equivalents owned by the Transferor and all of the Co-Sale Parties who exercise the right of co-sale under this Clause 4.4, calculated as of the date of the Transfer Notice.
	(g)		Notwithstanding any provisions above, if as the result of proposed Transfer of the Offered Securities, the Key Shareholder will hold, in aggregate, less than a majority of the total issued and outstanding share capital of the Company, holders of Preferred Shares shall have the right to Transfer all the Shares held by such holders thereof on the same terms and conditions as specified in the Transfer Notice before LJ International and/or the Key Shareholder may Transfer any Shares to the prospective purchaser or purchasers.

4.5

Non-Exercise of Rights

	(a)		To the extent that all of the Remaining Equities Holder(s) has not/have not exercised its or their rights to purchase the Offered Securities under Clause 4.3 or if not all of the Offered Securities are allocated to the Exercising Party after employing the procedures set out in Clause 4.3(b), subject to compliance with Clause 4.4 where applicable, the Transferor shall have a period of thirty (30) days thereafter to sell any remaining portion of the Offered Securities upon terms and conditions no more favourable to the transferee than those specified in the Transfer Notice to the third-party transferee(s) identified in the Transfer Notice PROVIDED THAT no Transferor may sell or Transfer its Shares unless and until such transferee(s) have delivered to the Company and each of the Remaining Equities Holder(s) a duly executed Joinder Agreement taking immediate effect.
	(b)		In the event the Transferor does not consummate the sale or Transfer of the Offered Securities within the thirty (30)-day period as referred to in Clause 4.5(a), the Transferor shall not thereafter sell or Transfer any such Offered Securities without again first offering them in accordance with this Clause 4.

	(d)		to the extent permitted by the relevant stock exchange and regulatory body, all costs and expenses (excluding underwriting discounts and commissions but including fees of the Company’s counsel and all other expenses related to the Qualified IPO or the registration in relation to the Qualified IPO) in connection with the shares of the Investors being sold in the Qualified IPO as referred to in Clause 6.1(c) shall be borne by the Company; provided, that in the event that any selling Shareholder appoints its

	(i)		cause the Company to redeem each Preferred Share held by such Investor in accordance with the redemption provisions under the Articles; or
	(ii)		exchange each Share for ordinary shares in the share capital of LJ International (the “Flip-Over Option”), which, for the purpose of such exchange, each such Share shall be exchangeable into a certain number of common shares of LJ International based on an exchange ratio determined in accordance with the principles set forth in Schedule 1 hereof.

			For the avoidance of doubt, exercise by an Investor of its right to cause the redemption of some (but not all) of the Preferred Shares held by it pursuant to Clause 6.3(a)(i) shall not preclude such Investor from exercising its Flip-Over Option with respect to any of the remaining Preferred Shares held by it pursuant to Clause 6.3(a)(ii) (and vice versa), provided, that with respect to each Preferred Share, an Investor may only make one of the foregoing elections.

	(B)		reserving and keeping available out of its authorized but unissued share capital, solely for the purpose of effecting any exercise of the Flip-Over Option, such number of its ordinary shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of the Flip-Over Option in respect of all outstanding Preferred Shares;
	(C)		listing such shares on Nasdaq or other applicable exchange; and
	(D)		effecting or permitting any material asset transfers or dispositions below fair market value, or, following the second (2nd) anniversary of the Completion Date, any declaration of any cash or special dividends.

	(d)		Each and every obligation under Clauses 7(a), 7(b) and 7(c) shall be treated as a separate obligation and shall be severally enforceable as such and in the event of any obligation or obligations being or becoming unenforceable in whole or in part, such part or parts which are unenforceable shall be deleted from such clause and any such deletion shall not affect the enforceability of the remainder parts of such clause.
	(e)		The Key Shareholder, LJ International, the Company and the Investors agree that having regard to all the circumstances, the restrictive covenants contained in Clauses 7(a), 7(b) and 7(c) are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Group and the Investors, and further agree that having regard to those circumstances the said covenants are not excessive or unduly onerous upon LJ International, the Key Shareholder or the Company (as the case may be).

	(f)		The Key Shareholder, LJ International, the Company and the Investors further agree that if the Key Shareholder, LJ International or the Company breaches any undertaking in this Clause 7, damages may not be an adequate remedy in which case such undertaking may be enforced by injunction, order for specific performance or such other equitable release as a court of competent jurisdiction may see fit to award.

17.1		This Agreement (save for any provisions which shall come into or continue to be in force and effect on or after the termination of this Agreement as expressly stated herein, in the Transaction Documents and those provisions which are necessary for the purposes of interpretation of this Agreement in respect thereof) shall terminate and cease to have effect on the earliest of the date on which:

	(a)		a Qualified IPO is completed;
	(b)		this Agreement is terminated by operation of law or by mutual agreement of all the Parties from time to time;

	(c)		the date that the Investors or their respective lawful successors and assigns cease to hold any Preferred Shares (or Ordinary Shares upon the conversion of such Preferred Shares); or

		PROVIDED THAT upon the Transfer by any Person of all Shares owned by it in accordance with the provisions hereof, such Person shall automatically cease to be a Party and shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except when the Key Shareholder ceases to be a Party, those obligations applicable to it set out in Clauses 7(b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) shall continue to be valid and effective.

19		Successors and Assigns
		This Agreement shall be binding upon and enure for the benefit of the successors, assigns and legal personal representatives of the Parties.
20		Whole Agreement
		This Agreement (together with the other Transaction Documents) constitutes the whole agreement between the Parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes any previous agreements or arrangements between them relating to the subject matter hereof.
21		Variations
		This Agreement and its provisions may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an agreement in writing signed by LJ International, the Key Shareholder and the Company together with Investors holding two-thirds (2/3) of the Preferred Shares then held by all of the Investors; provided that any amendment that disproportionately adversely affects any other Investor as compared to the other Investors shall require the consent of such adversely affected Investor.
22		Invalidity
		If any provision or part of a provision of this Agreement shall be, or be found by any authority or court of competent jurisdiction to be, invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or

		unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions or parts of such provisions of this Agreement, all of which shall remain in full force and effect.
23		Remedies
		The rights and remedies of each Party hereunder shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to and without prejudice to all other rights and remedies available to it (and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, shall not extinguish any right to damages to which it may be entitled in respect of a breach of this Agreement) and no exercise or failure to exercise such a right shall constitute a waiver by it of any such other right or remedy.
24		No Waiver
		No failure of a Party to exercise, and no delay or forbearance in exercising, any right or remedy in respect of any provision of this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy.
25		Further Assurance
		At any time after the date of this Agreement, each Party shall, and shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure (to the extent it is legally or contractually entitled to do so) that any necessary third party shall, execute such documents and do such acts and things as the other Parties may reasonable require for the purpose of giving to such Parties the full benefit and provisions of this Agreement.
26		Time of the Essence
		Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement, both as regards any dates, times and periods mentioned and as regards any dates, times and periods which may be substituted for them in accordance with this Agreement or by agreement in writing between the Parties.
27		Counterparts and Effectiveness
		This Agreement may be executed (including by facsimile signatures) in one or more counterparts, and by the Parties on separate counterparts, but shall not be effective until each Party has executed at least one counterpart and each such counterpart shall constitute an original of this Agreement but all the counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
28		Rights of Third Parties
28.1		Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer upon any person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, benefits, or obligations hereunder.
28.2		The right of the Parties to terminate, rescind or agree to any amendment, variation, waiver or settlement under this Agreement is not subject to the consent of any person that is not a Party.
29		No Presumption
		The Parties acknowledge that each Party has been represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of law, or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the Party that drafted it, has no application and is expressly waived. If any claim is made by a Party relating to any conflict, omission or ambiguity in the provisions of this Agreement, no presumption or burden of proof or persuasion shall be implied by reason of this Agreement having been prepared by or at the request of any Party or its counsel.

30		Specific Performance
		The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each Party acknowledges that damages alone would not be an adequate remedy for any breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement. The Parties accordingly agree that, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, the Parties are entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and otherwise to enforce specifically the provisions of this Agreement. Each Party expressly waives any requirement that any other Party obtain any bond or provide any indemnity in connection with any action seeking injunctive relief or specific enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement.

Schedule 1

Flip-Over Option

Flip-Over Exchange

1.

In the event that the Flip-Over Option is exercised by an Investor, each Preferred Share held by such Investor at the relevant time shall be exchangeable into the greater of:

	(a)		33.80 newly issued common shares of LJ International (as adjusted for any share split, share dividend, combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction in or of the common shares of LJ International or the Preferred Shares occurring after the Completion Date); and
	(b)		such number of newly issued common shares of LJ International as shall constitute such percentage of LJ International, after giving effect to such exchange and new issuance pursuant to the exercise of the Flip-Over Option and on a fully diluted basis (including all options and warrants outstanding), that is equal to:
			(P / T) x (Retail Profits / Total Profits)

provided, that in no event shall Retail Profits / Total Profits be a number greater than one and one-fifth (1.2) and, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event that Retail Profits / Total Profits at the time of determination is greater than 1.2, then it shall be deemed to be 1.2 as of such time of determination.

Where

P = the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of a Preferred Share as of the relevant time of determination;

T = the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares and Ordinary Share Equivalents issued and outstanding at the relevant time of determination;

Retail Profits = the net operating profit of the Group on a consolidated basis based on (i) the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year (ended 31 December) immediately preceding the date of determination, and (ii) the Company’s financial statements for the immediately preceding two quarters, annualized and prepared in accordance with the Company’s past practices, whichever is higher, in each case excluding any non-recurring charges, non-recurring extraordinary gains, extraordinary credits realized by the Group and one-time write-downs and write-offs; provided, that, in the event that Retail Profits, at the time of determination, are less than one cent (US$0.01), then for all purposes under this Schedule 1 Retail Profits shall be deemed to be one cent (US$0.01) at the time of determination; and

Total Profits = the net operating profit of LJ International on a consolidated basis (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the Group) based on (i) LJ International’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year (ended 31 December) immediately preceding the date of determination, and (ii) LJ International’s financial statements for the immediately preceding two full quarters preceding the date of determination, annualized and prepared in accordance with LJ International’s past practices, whichever is higher, in each case excluding any non-recurring charges and non-recurring extraordinary gains or extraordinary credits realized by LJ International and one-time write-downs and write-offs; provided, that, in the event that Total Profits, at the time of determination, are less than one cent (US$0.01),

then for all purposes under this Schedule 1 Total Profits shall be deemed to be one cent (US$0.01) at the time of determination.

By way of example, in the case of paragraph 1(b) above, if the Preferred Shares issued at Completion in the aggregate represent 25% of the outstanding share capital of the Company as determined at the time the Flip-Over Option is exercised, and the net operating profit of the Group constitutes 70% of the net operating profits of LJ International (taken as a whole) at such time, then, on that basis, all of the Preferred Shares issued at Completion shall be exchangeable in the aggregate for such number of ordinary shares in LJ International as shall constitute 17.5% of the total outstanding number of common shares of LJ International (after giving effect to the issuance of new common shares of LJ International pursuant to the exercise of the Flip-Over Option) on a fully-diluted basis as determined at the relevant time (i.e., 0.25 x 0.70).

New Warrants Exchange

2.

In the event that a Flip-Over Option is exercised in respect of any New Warrant, such New Warrant shall become exercisable for common shares of LJ International and all references in such New Warrant to the Company shall instead apply, without limitation, to LJ International, provided that:

	(a)		the definition of “Share Quantity” in such New Warrant shall be automatically amended to mean “the Holder’s Pro Rata Portion of X% of the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding at the Share Determination Time”
			Where
			X = (10.35 / 28.27) x Preferred Flip-Over Percentage
			Preferred Flip-Over Percentage = the total percentage of LJ International’s issued and outstanding share capital that the holders of all of the Preferred Shares issued at Completion would be entitled to receive at the relevant time of determination in the event that a Flip-Over Option was exercised at such time in respect of all of the Preferred Shares issued at Completion, as such percentage is determined at the relevant time in accordance with Paragraph 1;
	(b)		the definition of “Expiration Date” in such New Warrant shall be automatically amended to reflect the date falling eighteen (18) months after the Flip-Over Option is exercised in respect of such New Warrant; and
	(c)		such New Warrants shall amended, if necessary, to cure any ambiguity or correct or supplement any provision thereof that may be incomplete or inconsistent with any other provision hereof, but shall otherwise remain unchanged (including the “Exercise Price” thereof) and in full force and effect.

For purposes of clarification, the fraction (10.35 / 28.27) used above in determining the amended “Share Quantity” is based on the proportionate percentage of the Company that the New Warrants bear to the Preferred Shares (i.e., as of Completion, the New Warrants, in the aggregate, are exercisable into 10.35% of the Company whereas the Preferred Shares are convertible into 28.27% of the Company.

Principle

3.		For purposes of clarification, the exchange ratio determined pursuant to paragraph 1(a) above (i.e., 1: 33.80) is determined on the basis that all of the Preferred Shares issued at Completion, which represents 28.27% of the total outstanding Shares of the Company on a Fully-Diluted Basis, shall be exchangeable in the aggregate for 26.47% of the total outstanding share capital of LJ International on a fully-diluted basis (after giving effect to the issuance of new common shares of LJ International pursuant to the exercise of the Flip-Over Option) as determined as of the time of Completion.
		For the purposes of the foregoing, LJ International represents and warrants to the Investors that, as of Completion, the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company shall consist of:

	(i)		30,193,672 common shares of LJ International;
	(ii)		options to purchase 3,145,500 common shares of LJ International; and
	(iii)		and warrants exercisable for 456,000 common shares of LJ International.

Other than the foregoing and the Flip-Over Option, there are no options, warrants, conversion privileges or other rights, or agreements with respect to the issuance thereof, outstanding to purchase any of the share capital of LJ International.

By way of illustration:

Outstanding LJ International shares as of Completion on a fully-diluted basis			33,795,172
Exchange ratio from the Company to LJ International			26.47	%
equivalent # of LJ International shares			12,163,018
# of preferred shares			359,826
conversion rate, ICR			33.80

For all purposes under this Schedule 1, for the convenience of the Parties, all fractional amounts (including percentages) have been rounded to nearest one-hundredth.

Schedule 2

Management Incentive

1.

Investment Proceeds realized by any Investor shall be apportioned and allocated between such Investor and the Management Entity as follows (with each determination made as of the time of realization by such Investor of any Investment Proceeds):

	a.		Return of Two Times (2x) Investment Amount: First, 100% allocated to such Investor until the cumulative amount of Investment Proceeds allocated to such Investor pursuant to this paragraph 1 is equal to two times (2x) such Investor’s Investment Amount.
	b.		Initial 77% — 23% Profit Sharing: Second, all proceeds in excess of two time (2x) such Investor’s Investment Amount shall be cumulatively allocated seventy-seven percent (77%) to the Investor and twenty-three percent (23%) to the Management Entity until the cumulative amount allocated to such Investor and to the Management Entity by such Investor pursuant to this paragraph 1 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, paragraph (a) above and this paragraph (b)) shall equal two and sixty-five one-hundredths times (2.65x) such Investor’s Investment Amount.
	c.		Management Entity Catch Up: Third, 100% to the Management Entity until the cumulative amount allocated pursuant to this paragraph 1 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, paragraph (b) above and this paragraph (c)) to the Management Entity by such Investor is equal to 23% of the cumulative amount allocated to such Investor and to the Management Entity by such Investor pursuant to this paragraph 1 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, paragraph (a) and (b) above and this paragraph (c)).
	d.		Split: Fourth, after satisfying all allocations under paragraphs (a) through (c) above, seventy-seven percent (77%) to such Investor and twenty-three percent (23%) to the Management Entity.

2.

For purposes of this Schedule 2:

	a.		“Investment Amount” means, with respect to a particular Investor, the total aggregate consideration paid by such Investor at Completion in respect of the Preferred Shares acquired by such Investor at Completion. The Investment Amount shall, for the purposes of this Schedule 2, be denominated in RMB based on the prevailing exchange rate at the time of Completion.
	b.		“Investment Proceeds” means, with respect to a particular Investor, net cash proceeds actually received by such Investor from the sale or other disposition of Preferred Shares acquired by such Investor at Completion (or Ordinary Shares issued upon the conversion thereof or any common shares of LJ International issued in respect thereof in connection with a Flip-Over Option or assets or securities received for any of the foregoing), but shall not include dividends, distributions, interest or other income from or in respect of such Preferred Shares (or Ordinary Shares issued upon the conversion thereof or any common shares of LJ International issued in respect thereof in connection with a Flip-Over Option or assets or securities received for any of the foregoing) or proceeds received in connection with any redemption of such Preferred Shares. Investment Proceeds shall, for the purposes of this Schedule 2, be denominated in RMB based on the prevailing exchange rate at the time such Investment Proceeds are realized by such Investor.

3.		Payment required to be made by an Investor to the Management Entity under paragraph 1 above shall be made by such Investor or its nominees by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account opened in the name of the Management Entity and designated by the Management Entity for such purpose within ten (10) Business Days following receipt by the relevant Investment Proceeds by such Investor.
4.		The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Management Entity (and any Senior Manager that has an interest therein) is responsible for its (or his) own Tax liability resulting from the allocation and payment of proceeds by any Investor to the Management Entity in accordance with paragraph 1 and this Schedule 2 and the Management Entity (and any Senior Manager that has an interest therein) shall pay its (or his) own Taxes resulting from such payment and file any Tax returns in accordance with the relevant laws and regulation of the applicable jurisdiction.

Illustration and Examples

5.

By way of illustration and example, the following represents the distribution waterfalls and payment obligations for each of FountainVest, Spring Capital and UCI to the Management Entity pursuant to paragraph 1

a.

In the case of FountainVest:

	i.		If aggregate Investment Proceeds realized by FountainVest exceed US$61,523,620 but are less than or equal to US$81,518,797, then FountainVest shall pay the Management Entity 23% of the amounts of Investment Proceeds realized by FountainVest in excess US$61,523,620 until FountainVest’s total realized Investment Proceeds is US$81,518,797.
	ii.		If aggregate Investment Proceeds realized by FountainVest exceed US$81,518,797 but are less than or equal to US$99,898,978, then FountainVest shall pay the Management Entity 100% of the amounts of Investment Proceeds realized by FountainVest in excess US$81,518,797 until the Management Entity has received, in the aggregate and including amounts paid to the Management Entity under paragraph 5(a)(i) above, 23% of the aggregate amount of the total Investment Proceeds realized by FountainVest. In other words:

If US$81,518,797 < Investment Proceeds < = US$99,898,978

FountainVest’s payment to Management Entity

= (US$81,518,797 – US$61,523,620) x 23% + (Investment Proceeds – US$81,518,797)

= US$4, 598,891 + (Investment Proceeds – US$81,518,797)

= Investment Proceeds – US$76,919,906

iii.

If aggregate Investment Proceeds realized by FountainVest exceed US$99,898,978, then FountainVest and the Management Entity shall split Investment Proceeds realized by FountainVest, 77% to FountainVest and 23% to the Management Entity.

b.

In the case of Spring Capital:

i.

If aggregate Investment Proceeds realized by Spring Capital exceed US$18,000,030 but are less than or equal to US$23,850,040, then Spring Capital

			shall pay the Management Entity 23% of the amounts of Investment Proceeds realized by Spring Capital in excess US$18,000,030 until Spring Capital’s total realized Investment Proceeds is US$23,850,040.
	ii.		If aggregate Investment Proceeds realized by Spring Capital exceed US$23,850,040 but are less than or equal to US$29,227,549, then Spring Capital shall pay the Management Entity 100% of the amounts of Investment Proceeds realized by Spring Capital in excess US$23,850,040 until the Management Entity has received, in the aggregate and including amounts paid to the Management Entity under paragraph 5(b)(1) above, 23% of the aggregate amount of the total Investment Proceeds realized by Spring Capital. In other words:

If US$23,850,040 < Investment Proceeds < = US$29,227,549

Spring Capital’s payment to Management Entity

= (US$23,850,040 – US$18,000,030) x 23% + (Investment Proceeds – US$23,850,040)

= US$1,345,502 + (Investment Proceeds – US$23,850,040)

= Investment Proceeds – US$22,504,538

iii.

c.

In the case of UCI:

	i.		If aggregate Investment Proceeds realized by UCI exceed US$2,436,390 but are less than or equal to US$3,228,217, then UCI shall pay the Management Entity 23% of the amounts of Investment Proceeds realized by UCI in excess US$2,436,390 until UCI’s total realized Investment Proceeds is US$3,228,217.

If US$3,228,217 < Investment Proceeds < = US$3,956,088

UCI’s payment to Management Entity

= (US$3,228,217 – US$2,436,390) x 23% + (Investment Proceeds – 3,228,217)

= US$182,120 + (Investment Proceeds – US$3,228,217)
