Transfer Agreement entered into by and between Guo Ming and Zheng Zhenxiu on
March 18, 2004 (the "EXISTING SHARE TRANSFER AGREEMENT"), none of the Common

2 Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement
(b) PROHIBITED TRANSFERS VOID. Any transfer of Equity Securities by

and void as against the Company, shall not be recorded on the books of the
Company and shall not be recognized by the Company.
2.2 RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL.
(a) TRANSFER NOTICE. Prior to the closing of a Qualified IPO, except
as provided in the Existing Share Transfer Agreement, if any Common Shareholder
proposes to transfer Equity Securities to one or more third parties pursuant to
an understanding with such third parties (a "TRANSFER", such holder a
"TRANSFEROR"), then the Transferor shall give the Company and each Holder
written notice of the Transferor's intention to make the Transfer (the "TRANSFER
NOTICE"), which shall include (i) a description of the Equity Securities to be
transferred (the "OFFERED SHARES"), (ii) subject to any applicable
non-disclosure agreement with such third party, the identity of the prospective
transferee and (iii) the consideration and the material terms and conditions
upon which the proposed Transfer is to be made. The Transfer Notice shall
certify that the Transferor has received a firm offer from the prospective
transferee and in good faith believes a binding agreement for the Transfer is
obtainable on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice.
(b) HOLDERS' OPTION.
(i) Each Holder shall have an option for a period of twenty (20) days
following the Holder's receipt of the Transfer Notice to elect to purchase
its respective pro rata share of the Offered Shares at the same price and
subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the
Transfer Notice.
(ii) Each Holder may exercise such purchase option and, thereby,
purchase all or any portion of its pro rata share (with any re-allotments
as provided below) of the Offered Shares, by notifying Transferor and the
Company in writing, before expiration of the twenty (20) day period as to
the number of such shares that it wishes to purchase (including any
re-allotment).
(iii) Each Holder's pro rata share of the Offered Shares shall be a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Equity Securities
(assuming the exercise, conversion and exchange of any Common Shares
Equivalents) owned by such Holder on the date of the Transfer Notice and
the denominator of which shall be the total number of Equity Securities
(assuming the exercise, conversion and exchange of any Common Shares
Equivalents) held by all Holders on such date.
(iv) If any Holder fails to exercise such purchase option pursuant to
this Section 2.2, the Transferor shall give notice of such failure (the
"RE-ALLOTMENT NOTICE") to the Company and to each other Holder that elected
to purchase its entire pro rata share of the Offered Shares (the
"PURCHASING HOLDERS"). Such Re-allotment Notice may be made by telephone if
confirmed in writing within two (2) days. The Purchasing Holders shall have
a right of re-allotment such that they shall have ten (10) days from the
date such Re-allotment Notice was given to elect to increase the number of
Offered Shares they agreed to purchase under Section 2.2(b)(i) to include
their respective pro rata share of the Offered Shares contained in any
Re-allotment Notice.
(v) Subject to applicable securities Laws, each Holder shall be
entitled to
3 Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement
apportion Offered Shares to be purchased among its partners and Affiliates
upon written notice to the Company and the Transferor.
(vi) If a Holder gives the Transferor notice that it desires to
purchase Offered Shares, then payment for the Offered Shares shall be by
check or wire transfer in immediately available funds of the appropriate
currency, against delivery of the Offered Shares to be purchased at a place
agreed by the Transferor and all the participating Holders and at the time
of the scheduled closing therefor, which shall be no later than forty-five
(45) days after the Company's receipt of the Transfer Notice, unless such
notice contemplated a later closing with the prospective third party
transferee or unless the value of the purchase price has not yet been
established pursuant to Section 2.2(c).
(vii) Regardless of any other provision of this Agreement, if the
Holders fail to exercise their purchase option pursuant to this Section 2.2
with respect to all (and not less than all) of the Offered Shares, then the
Transferor shall be under no obligation to transfer the Offered Shares to
the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.2 and shall instead be free to sell
such Offered Shares pursuant to the Transfer Notice, subject to Sections
2.3 and 2.4.
(viii) The Transferor shall have the right to terminate or withdraw
any Transfer Notice and any intent to transfer Offered Shares at any time,
whether or not any Holder has elected to purchase under this Section 2.2
any Offered Shares offered thereby.
(c) VALUATION OF PROPERTY.
(i) Should the purchase price specified in the Transfer Notice be
payable in property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the
Holders shall have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash
equal in amount to the fair market value of such property.
(ii) If the Transferor and the Holders cannot agree on such cash value
within seven (7) days after the Holders' receipt of the Transfer Notice,
the valuation shall be made by an appraiser of internationally recognized
standing jointly selected by the Transferor and the Holders or, if they
cannot agree on an appraiser within ten (10) days after the Holders'
receipt of the Transfer Notice, each shall select an appraiser of
internationally recognized standing and the two appraisers shall designate
a third appraiser of internationally recognized standing, whose appraisal
shall be determinative of such value.
(iii) The cost of such appraisal shall be shared equally by the
Transferor and the Holders, with the half of the cost borne by the Holders
to be borne pro rata by each Holder based on the number of shares such
Holder has elected to purchase pursuant to this Section 2.
(iv) If the value of the purchase price offered by the prospective
transferee is not determined within the forty-five (45) day period
specified in Section 2.2(b)(vi) above, the closing of the Holders' purchase
shall be held on or prior to the fifth business day after such valuation
shall have been made pursuant to this Section 2.2(c).
2.3 RIGHT OF CO-SALE.
4 Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement
(a) Except as provided in the Existing Share Transfer Agreement, to
the extent the Holders do not exercise their respective rights of first refusal
as to all of the Offered Shares pursuant to Section 2.2, each Holder shall have
the right to participate in such sale of Equity Securities on the same terms and
conditions as specified in the Transfer Notice by notifying the Transferor in
writing within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Transfer Notice referred to
in Section 2.2(a) (such Holder, a "SELLING HOLDER").
(i) Such Selling Holder's notice to the Transferor shall indicate the
number of Equity Securities the Selling Holder wishes to sell under its
right to participate.
(ii) To the extent one or more of the Holders exercise such right of
participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below,
the number of Equity Securities that the Transferor may sell in the
Transfer shall be correspondingly reduced.
(b) Each Selling Holder may elect to sell up to such number of Equity
Securities equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of the Offered
Shares being transferred following the exercise or expiration of all rights of
first refusal pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof by (ii) a fraction, the numerator
of which is the number of Common Shares (including the number of Common Shares
that would be issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of Common Share
Equivalents) owned by the Selling Holder on the date of the Transfer Notice and
the denominator of which is the total number of Common Shares (including the
number of Common Shares that would be issuable upon the exercise, conversion or
exchange of Common Share Equivalents) owned by all Selling Holders and the
Transferor on the date of the Transfer Notice.
(c) Each Selling Holder shall effect its participation in the sale by
promptly delivering to the Transferor for transfer to the prospective purchaser
one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, which represent the
type and number of Equity Securities which such Selling Holder elects to sell;
provided, however that if the prospective third-party purchaser objects to the
delivery of Equity Securities in lieu of Common Shares, such Selling Holder
shall only deliver Common Shares (and therefore shall convert any such Equity
Securities into Common Shares) and certificates corresponding to such Common
Shares. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the
actual transfer of such shares to the purchaser and contingent on such transfer.
(d) The share certificate or certificates that a Selling Holder
delivers to the Transferor pursuant to Section 2.3(c) shall be transferred to
the prospective purchaser in consummation of the sale of the Equity Securities
pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice, and the
Transferor shall concurrently therewith remit to such Selling Holder that
portion of the sale proceeds to which such Selling Holder is entitled by reason
of its participation in such sale.
(e) To the extent that any prospective purchaser prohibits the
participation of a Selling Holder exercising its co-sale rights hereunder in a
proposed Transfer or otherwise refuses to purchase shares or other securities
from a Selling Holder exercising its co-sale rights hereunder, the Transferor
shall not sell to such prospective purchaser any Equity Securities unless and
until, simultaneously with such sale, the Transferor shall purchase from such
Selling Holder such shares or other securities that such Selling Holder would
otherwise be entitled to sell to the prospective purchaser pursuant to its
co-sale rights for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions
as the proposed transfer described in the Transfer Notice.
5 Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement
2.4 NON-EXERCISE OF RIGHTS.
(a) Subject to any other applicable restrictions on the sale of such
shares, to the extent that the Holders have not exercised their rights to
purchase the Offered Shares within the time periods specified in Section 2.2 and
the Holders have not exercised their rights to participate in the sale of the
Offered Shares within the time periods specified in Section 2.3, the Transferor
shall have a period of sixty (60) days from the expiration of such rights in
which to sell the Offered Shares, as the case may be, to the third-party
transferee identified in the Transfer Notice upon terms and conditions
(including the purchase price) no more favorable to the purchaser than those
specified in the Transfer Notice.
(b) In the event the Transferor does not consummate the sale or
disposition of the Offered Shares within sixty (60) days from the expiration of
such rights, the Holders' first refusal rights and co-sale rights shall continue
to be applicable to any subsequent disposition of the Offered Shares by the
Transferor until such rights lapse in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(c) The exercise or non-exercise of the rights of the Holders under
this Section 2 to purchase Equity Securities from a Transferor or participate in
the sale of Equity Securities by a Transferor shall not adversely affect their
rights to make subsequent purchases from the Transferor of Equity Securities or
subsequently participate in sales of Equity Securities by the Transferor
hereunder.
2.5 LIMITATIONS TO RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL AND CO-SALE. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 2, a Common Shareholder may sell or otherwise assign,
with or without consideration, any Equity Securities now or hereafter held by
such Common Shareholder, to an entity wholly-owned by such Common Shareholder,
or to any spouse, lineal descendants, or to a trust, custodian, trustee,
executor, or other fiduciary for the account of any of the foregoing, or to a
trust for the Common Shareholder's account, or a charitable remainder trust
(collectively, the "PERMITTED TRANSFEREES" and each, a "PERMITTED TRANSFEREE")
and such sale or assignment shall not be subject to Sections 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3,
provided that (i) each such Permitted Transferee, prior to the completion of the
sale, transfer, or assignment, shall have executed documents, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holders, assuming the obligations of
the Common Shareholder under this Agreement, including but not limited to
Section 2.1 hereof, with respect to the transferred securities and (ii) each
Permitted Transferee shall have executed and delivered to the transferring
Common Shareholder (with a copy to the Company) an irrevocable, unconditional
and permanent power of attorney, all in form and manner reasonably satisfactory
to the Holders, effective immediately after the closing of such sale or
assignment, appointing the transferring Common Shareholder (or his existing
attorney-in-fact) as such Permitted Transferee's attorney-in-fact and
authorizing him to vote, in his absolute discretion as the attorney-in-fact of
the Permitted Transferee, any and all Equity Securities of the Company owned by
such Permitted Transferee with respect to any Company related matters; and
provided further, that each Common Shareholder shall make no more than one (1)
transfer to a Permitted Transferee under this Section 2.5. In addition to the
foregoing, each Common Shareholder may sale or otherwise assign any Equity
Securities now or hereafter held by such Common Shareholder to another Common
Shareholder, and such sale or assignment will not be subject to Sections 2.1,
2.2 or 2.3.

provided herein, this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties
hereunder shall inure
6 Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement

are only assignable in connection with the transfer (subject to applicable
securities and other Laws) of Equity Securities held by such Holder but only to
the extent of such transfer; provided, however, that (1) the transferor shall,

hereunder shall not otherwise be assigned without the mutual written consent of
the other parties.

remedies of a party hereto will be considered to be cumulative with and in
addition to any other rights, powers and remedies which such party may have at
law or in equity in the event of the breach of any of the terms of this

right, power or remedy available to such party.
6.12 NO WAIVER. Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the
terms, covenants, or conditions hereof will not be deemed a waiver of such term,
covenant, or condition, nor will any waiver or relinquishment of, or failure to
insist upon strict compliance with, any right, power or remedy power hereunder
at any one or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such right,
power or remedy at any other time or times.
6.13 NO PRESUMPTION. The parties acknowledge that any applicable law 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
