On October 23, 2017, Seven Stars Cloud

share, or a total purchase price of $10.0 million (the “Purchase Price”).
In addition, under the terms of the SPA,
following the closing of the transaction, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) shall consist of at
least 7 members and the Purchaser shall have the right to appoint one director to the Board. The Purchaser shall also have the
following rights under the terms of the SPA, which shall be further established in a Stockholder Agreement, which the parties are
working to finalize:

the Company’s major shareholder (including its substantial shareholders and affiliates) (“SSSMG”), may not without
consent of the Purchaser directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, liquidate, otherwise dispose of or encumber any of its shares
of the Company’s common stock (the “SSSMG Shares”) except if transferred to its affiliates;
|
|
·
|
Preemptive Rights: The Purchaser has consent rights and
preemptive rights in preference to that of any other existing stockholder and any third parties to acquire the SSSMG Shares on
terms no less favorable to those of the proposed purchaser;
|
|
·
|
Tag-along Right: If SSSMG transfers Shares to a third
party, Purchaser shall be entitled to tag-along rights with respect to such SSSMG transfer on the same terms;
|
|
·

Liquidation Preference: Upon any liquidation, discontinuing
operation or dissolution, or a sale of a substantial part of the assets or business of the Company, the Purchaser shall be entitled
to, in preference to other shareholders of the Company, a liquidation preference equal to the Purchase Price;
|
|
·
|
Preferential Treatment: If the Company grants to any
holder of the Company’s common stock a right not contained in the SPA, then the Company shall provide Purchaser with the
same right(s); and
|
|
·
|
Affiliate Transactions: After the closing of the transaction
contemplated by the SPA, if the Company enters into a related party transaction, the Company shall enter into such agreement on
