or will be when entered into valid and binding obligations of the Company
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject, as to
enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
reorganization and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and to

rights or rights of first refusal, except such as have been waived or are being

-----------
indebtedness for borrowed money that the Company or ITC China has directly or
indirectly created, incurred, assumed, or guaranteed, or with respect to which
the Company or ITC China has otherwise become directly or indirectly liable.
4.7. Title to Properties and Assets. Each of the Company and ITC
------------------------------
China has good and marketable title to its properties and assets held in each
case subject to no mortgage, pledge, lien (including without limitation any tax
lien), encumbrance, security interest or charge of any kind. With respect to
the property and assets it leases, each of the Company and ITC China is in
compliance with such leases and, to the best of the Company's knowledge, each of
the Company and ITC China holds valid leasehold interests in such assets free of
any liens, encumbrances, security interests or claims of any party other than
the lessors of such property and assets.
4.8. Status of Proprietary Assets.
----------------------------
(a) Ownership. Each of the Company and ITC China has full
---------
title and ownership of, or has license to, all Proprietary Assets necessary to
enable it to carry on its business as now conducted and as presently proposed to
be conducted, including but not limited to those Proprietary Assets set forth in
Schedule 4.8(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, without any conflict with or
---------------
infringement of the rights of others. No third party has any ownership right,
title, interest, claim in or lien on any of the Company's or ITC China's

reasonably necessary to preserve their respective legal rights in, and the
secrecy of, all its Proprietary Assets, except those for which disclosure is

China has granted, and there are not outstanding, any options, licenses or
agreements of any kind relating to any Proprietary Asset of the Company or ITC
China, nor is the Company or ITC China bound by or a party to any option,
license or agreement of any kind with respect to any of their respective
Proprietary Assets. Neither the Company nor ITC China is obligated to pay any
royalties or other payments to third parties with respect to the marketing,
sale, distribution, manufacture, license or use of any Proprietary Asset or any
other property or rights.
(c) No Infringement. Neither the Company nor ITC China has
---------------
violated or infringed, and is not currently violating or infringing any
Proprietary Asset of any other person or entity. Except as set forth in Section
4.8(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, neither the Company nor ITC China has
received any communications alleging that the Company or ITC China (or any of
their respective employees or consultants) has violated or infringed or, by
conducting its business as proposed, would violate or infringe, any Proprietary
Asset of any other person or entity.
(d) No Breach by Employee. After due inquiry, neither the
---------------------
Company nor ITC China is aware that any employee or consultant of the Company or
ITC China is obligated under any agreement (including licenses, covenants or
commitments of any nature) or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any
court or administrative agency, or any other restriction that would interfere
with the use of his or her best efforts to carry out his or her duties for the
Company or ITC China or to promote the interests of the Company or ITC China or
that would conflict with the Company's or ITC China's business as proposed to be
conducted. The carrying on of each of the Company's and ITC China's business by
the employees and contractors of the Company and ITC China and the conduct of
the Company's and ITC China's business as presently proposed, will not, to the
best of the Company's knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the
terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract,
covenant or instrument under which any of such employees or contractors of the
Company or ITC China are now obligated. Neither the Company nor ITC China
believes it is or will be necessary to utilize any inventions of any employees
of the Company or ITC China (or persons the Company or ITC China currently
intends to hire) made prior to their employment by the Company or ITC China. To
the best of the Company's knowledge, at no time during the conception of or
reduction of any of the Company's or ITC China's Proprietary Assets to practice
was any developer, inventor or other contributor to such patents operating under
any grants from any governmental entity or agency or private source, performing
research sponsored by any governmental entity or agency or private source or
subject to any employment agreement or invention assignment or nondisclosure
agreement or other obligation with any third party that could adversely affect
the Company's or ITC China's rights in such Proprietary Assets.
4.9. Material Contracts and Obligations. All agreements, contracts,
----------------------------------
leases, licenses, instruments, commitments (oral or written), indebtedness,
liabilities and other obligations to which the Company or ITC China is a party
or by which they are bound that (i) are material to the conduct and operations
of the businesses and properties of the Company or ITC
-6-
China; (ii) involve any of the officers, consultants, directors, employees or
shareholders of the Company or ITC China; or (iii) obligate the Company or ITC
China to share, license or develop any product or technology are listed in

excess of $50,000 per year.
4.10. Litigation. Except as set forth in Section 4.10 of the
----------
Disclosure Schedule, there is no action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration or
investigation ('Action') pending (or, to the best of the Company's knowledge,
------
currently threatened) against the Company or ITC China, their activities,
properties or assets or, to the best of the Company's knowledge, against any
officer, director or employee of the Company or ITC China in connection with
such officer's, director's or employee's relationship with, or actions taken on
behalf of the Company or ITC China. To the best of the Company's knowledge,
there is no factual or legal basis for any such Action that might result,
individually or in the aggregate, in any material adverse change in the
business, properties, assets, financial condition, affairs or prospects of the
Company or ITC China. By way of example but not by way of limitation, there are
no Actions pending or, to the best of the Company's knowledge, threatened (or
any basis therefor known to the Company or ITC China) relating to the prior
employment of any of the Company's or ITC China's employees or consultants,
their use in connection with the Company's or ITC China's business of any
information, technology or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their
former employers, clients or other parties, or their obligations under any
agreements with prior employers, clients or other parties. Neither the Company
nor ITC China is a party to or subject to the provisions of any order, writ,
injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or
instrumentality and there is no Action by the Company or ITC China currently
pending or which the Company or ITC China intends to initiate.

filings with any federal, state or local governmental authority on the part of
each of the Company and ITC China required in connection with the consummation
of the transactions contemplated herein, including without limitation the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement and the
Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement, the issuance and sale of the
Shares and the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Shares,
will have been obtained prior to and will be effective as of the Closing. Based
in part on the representations of the Investors set forth in Section 5 below,
the offer, sale and issuance of the Shares in conformity with the terms of this
Agreement are exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements
of the Securities Act.
4.12. Compliance with Other Instruments. Neither the Company nor ITC
---------------------------------
China is in, nor will the conduct of their businesses as proposed to be
conducted result in, any violation, breach or default of any term of the
Company's Certificate or ITC China's charter or the Company's or ITC China's
bylaws (together, the 'Bylaws') or in any material respect of any term or
provision of any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement or instrument to which
the Company or ITC China is a party or by which it may be bound, or of any
provision of any foreign or domestic state or federal judgment, decree, order,
statute, rule or regulation applicable to or binding upon the Company or ITC
China, except that various officials of MII recently have
-7-
stated publicly that foreign investment is prohibited in the PRC Internet
sector, including in Internet content providers. Further, a WFOE, such as ITC
China, is prohibited from engaging in the businesses of providing or
distributing advertisements as defined in the 1994 PRC Advertising Law. The
relevant law is silent as to whether online advertising is covered by the law.
The Company's PRC counsel has indicated that it does not believe, however, that
the Company's operations violate or breach any of the existing laws, rules, or
regulations of the PRC.. The execution, delivery and performance of and
compliance with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby will not result in any such violation or default, or be in
conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time or the giving
of notice or both, either a default under the Company's Certificate or Bylaws or
ITC China's charter or Bylaws, or any agreement or contract of the Company or
ITC China, or, to the best of the Company's knowledge, a violation of any
statutes, laws, regulations or orders, or an event which results in the creation
of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any asset of the Company or ITC China.
4.13. Disclosure. No representation or warranty by the Company in this
----------
Agreement or in any statement or certificate signed by any officer of the
Company or ITC China furnished or to be furnished to the Investors pursuant to
this Agreement contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact

or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they are made, not misleading.
4.14. Registration Rights. Except as provided in the Investor Rights

Agreement, neither the Company nor ITC China has granted or agreed to grant any

Company as at September 30, 1999 and the related unaudited statements of income,

Company may rely for the purpose of complying with applicable state 'Blue Sky'
laws. The Investor acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to discuss the
business, affairs and current prospects of the Company with its officers. The

will be acquired for the Investor's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and
not with a view to or in connection with the sale or distribution of any part
thereof.
5.4. Exempt from Registration; Restricted Securities. The Investor
-----------------------------------------------
understands that the Shares and the Conversion Shares will not be registered
under the Securities Act, on the ground that the sale provided for in this
Agreement is exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and that the
reliance of the Company on such exemption is predicated in part
-12-
on the Investor's representations set forth in this Agreement. The Investor
understands that the Shares and the Conversion Shares being purchased hereunder
are restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities
Act; that the Shares and the Conversion Shares are not registered and must be
held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered or an exemption from
such registration is available.

otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE 'ACT'), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES
LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS
PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT
TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY
REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY
TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN
COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
5.6 Removal of Restrictive Legend. The legend set forth above shall
-----------------------------
be removed by the Company from any certificate evidencing Shares or Conversion
Shares upon delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel, reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, that a registration statement under the Securities
Act is at that time in effect with respect to the legended security or that such
security can be freely transferred in a public sale without such a registration
statement being in effect and that such transfer will not jeopardize the
exemption or exemptions from registration pursuant to which the Company issued
the Shares or Conversion Shares.

subparagraphs of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are

as the terms of this Agreement, other than the name and address of each Investor
and each Investor's investment in the Company, shall be considered confidential
information (the 'Confidential Information') and shall not be disclosed by the
Company or any other party to this Agreement to any third party,
-17-
subject to Section 9.14 below. Each party shall immediately notify the other
parties of any information that comes to its attention which might indicate that
there has been a loss of confidentiality with respect to the Confidential
Information. In the event that the Company or any other party becomes legally
compelled (by statute or regulation or by oral questions, interrogatories,
request for information or documents, subpoena, criminal or civil investigative
demand or similar process, including without limitation, in connection with any
public or private offering of the Company's capital stock) to disclose any of
the Confidential Information, such party (the 'Disclosing Party') shall provide
the other party (the 'Non-Disclosing Party') with prompt written notice of that
fact so that the appropriate party may seek (with the cooperation and reasonable
efforts of the other parties) a protective order, confidential treatment or
other appropriate remedy. In such event, the Disclosing Party shall furnish only
that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required and shall
exercise reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential
treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information to the extent reasonably
requested by the Non-Disclosing Party. The provisions of this Section 9.13 shall
be in addition to, and not in substitution for, the provisions of any separate
nondisclosure agreement executed by the parties hereto with respect to the
transaction contemplated hereby.
9.14 Disclosure of Terms; Press Releases. Notwithstanding the
-----------------------------------
provisions of Section 9.13 above, from and after the Closing, the Company may
disclose the existence of this Agreement and the terms hereof, as well as each
Investor's investment in the Company solely to the Company's investors,
investment bankers, lenders, accountants, legal counsel, business partners, and
bona fide prospective investors, employees, lenders and business partners, in
each case only where such persons or entities are under appropriate
nondisclosure obligations. In addition, the Company may disclose the fact that
any Investor is an investor in the Company to third parties without the
requirement of nondisclosure obligations. The Company may issue a press release
disclosing that any Investor has invested in the Company; provided that the
release does not disclose the amount or other specific terms of the investment
and is approved in advance in writing by the Investors. Each Investor, at its
sole discretion, may provide an executive quote or other material regarding its
investment in the Company. No other announcement regarding an Investor's
investment in the Company in a press conference, in any professional or trade
publication, in any marketing materials or otherwise to the general public may
be made without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent may be
withheld at the sole discretion of the Investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
an Investor may disclose its investment in the Company to third parties or to
the public at its discretion, and the Company shall have the right to disclose
to third parties any such information disclosed by the Investor in a press
release or other public announcement. If the Company or an Investor determines
that any disclosure not otherwise authorized by this Agreement is required by
law or regulation, then the provisions of Section 9.13 regarding disclosure of
Confidential Information by a Disclosing Party shall govern.
9.15 Dispute Resolution. The parties agree to negotiate in good
------------------
faith to resolve any dispute between them regarding this Agreement. If the
negotiations do not resolve the dispute to the reasonable satisfaction of both
parties, then each party shall nominate one senior officer of the rank of Vice
President or higher as its representative. These representatives shall, within
thirty (30) days of a written request by either party to call such a meeting,
meet in person and alone (except for one assistant for each party) and shall
attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. If the disputes cannot be resolved
by such senior managers in such meeting, the parties
-18-
agree that they shall, if requested in writing by either party, meet within
thirty (30) days after such written notification for one day with an impartial
mediator and consider dispute resolution alternatives other than litigation. If
an alternative method of dispute resolution is not agreed upon within thirty
(30) days after the one day mediation, either party may begin litigation
proceedings. This procedure shall be a prerequisite before taking any additional
action hereunder.
