Pursuant to the Voting Agreement (as defined below), Ctrip has agreed to convert its US$180 million outstanding principal amount of Convertible Notes into 9,857,028 Ordinary Shares.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of the Original Filing is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs:
Voting Agreement. On October 18, 2016, the Issuer, MIH Internet Sea Private Limited, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Singapore (Target Parent), and certain other party thereto entered into a transaction agreement (the Transaction Agreement) providing for the acquisition by the Issuer of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Ibibo Group Holdings (Singapore) Private Limited, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Singapore and a wholly owned subsidiary of Target Parent, and the issuance of certain Class B shares by the Issuer to Target Parent (the Proposed Transaction).
Concurrently with the execution of Transaction Agreement, Ctrip entered into a voting agreement (the Voting Agreement) with Target Parent. Pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Voting Agreement, Ctrip agreed that it will, among other matters, (i) make reasonable efforts to cause the Convertible Notes to be converted in their entirety, no later than three business days prior to the record date of the meeting of the Issuers shareholders for the purposes of obtaining the Issuers shareholder approval of the Proposed Transaction (the Issuer Shareholder Approval); (ii) appear at such shareholder meeting or otherwise cause the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by Ctrip as of the record date to be counted as present at such meeting for purposes of calculating a quorum; or (iii) vote, or cause to be voted, and if requested by Target Parent, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, a written consent with respect to, all of the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by Ctrip in favor of (a) granting the Issuer Shareholder Approval, (b) any permitted adjournment or postpone of the shareholder meeting and (c) any other actions reasonably requested by Target Parent and presented to the Issuers shareholders that are necessary or desirable in connection with obtaining the Issuer Shareholder Approval.
Ctrip further agreed, during the term of the Voting Agreement, not to (i) sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, hedge or utilize a derivative to transfer the economic interest in, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the transfer of, any Convertible Notes or the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by Ctrip; or (ii) enter into any voting agreement with respect to the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by Ctrip.

Concurrently with the execution of the Transaction Agreement, Ctrip and the Issuer also entered into an amendment to the existing Investor Rights Agreement, dated October 18, 2016 (the Amendment to Investor Rights Agreement), which amendment will become effective as of the closing of the Proposed Transaction. Pursuant to the Amendment to Investor Rights Agreement, upon the closing of the Proposed Transaction, the minimum number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by Ctrip and its subsidiaries in order for Ctrip to be entitled to the Director Appointment Right will be increased to 9,857,028 Ordinary Shares from 5,057,952 Ordinary Shares under the existing Investor Rights Agreement. The Amendment to Investor Rights Agreement also updates the list of the Issuers competitors for purposes of the prohibition on any transfer of Ordinary Shares by Ctrip or its subsidiaries to competitor transferees as provided in the Investor Rights Agreement.

Concurrently with the execution of the Transaction Agreement, Ctrip, Target Parent, the Issuer and certain other parties thereto entered into a registration rights agreement, dated October 18, 2016 (the Registration Rights Agreement), which will become effective as of the closing of the Proposed Transaction. Upon its effectiveness, the Registration Rights Agreement will supersede and replace the provisions relating to registration rights in the Investor Rights Agreement, as amended. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, Ctrip will continue to have certain registration rights with respect to all or any part of the registrable shares owned by Ctrip, including (i) all of the Ordinary Shares held by Ctrip and its affiliates, (ii) any Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and (iii) any other Ordinary Shares issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to the Ordinary Shares listed in (i) and (ii) above pursuant to stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, recapitalizations or similar events, subject to the limitations specified in the Registration Rights Agreement.

SECTION 4.04. Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

SECTION 4.06. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided that Indigo Parent may assign its rights, interests and obligations hereunder (in whole or in part) to any one or more of its Affiliates (a Permitted Assignee) to which Indigo Parent has also assigned its rights, interests and obligations under the Transaction Agreement or any other Transaction Document (but no such assignment shall release Indigo Parent from any liability or obligation under this Agreement), so long as, concurrently with such assignment, the Permitted Assignee agrees that it will be bound by, and subject to, all the terms and conditions of this Agreement as if it were a party to this Agreement and notifies the Shareholder of such assignment in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 of this Agreement.

The parties hereto 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. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches

SECTION 4.08. Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time. Any amendment to this Agreement shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto. The parties hereto may, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, waive compliance with any of the terms or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure or delay by any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights hereunder or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
SECTION 4.09. Jurisdiction. Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York or, if such courts shall not have jurisdiction, any federal court of the United States of America, sitting in New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such Proceeding except in any such court, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such Proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Proceeding in any such court and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Proceeding in any such court. Each of the parties agrees that a final judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 4.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO
THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 4.10.
