INVESTMENT OVERVIEW J.P. Morgan China Private Equity Fund L.P. (the "Fund") is a new Chinese private equity fund being established by Beijing Equity Investment Development Management Co., Ltd. ("BEIDM"). BEIDM is a joint venture between JPMorgan Asset Management Private Equity (China) LLC ("JPM China"), a special purpose entity formed on behalf of the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Private Equity Group (the "PEG") of J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. and Beijing State-owned Capital Operation and Management Center ("BSCOMC"). Certain Chinese strategic investors are expected to participate in the joint venture in the future. The Fund is expected to consist of a diversified portfolio of direct investments in companies formed in, or whose headquarters or principal business operations are located in, the People's Republic of China (excluding Hong Kong. Macau and Taiwan, 'China" or the "PRC"). The Fund will seek to build a portfolio of a select number of PRC companies and businesses across a number of industries, including but not limited to sectors such as consumer and services, media, technology. intemet and mobile, alternative energy, financial services, medical and healthcare. and agriculture. Unless JPM China and the Fund's advisory committee otherwise consent, not more than 10% of the aggregate capital commitments to the Fund will be invested in any one portfolio company. These investments will be made in Renminbi ("RMB"). The Fund will be denominated in US Dollars and is seeking aggregate capital commitments from investors of US$1 billion. INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS Access to onshore China private equity for non-PRC investors. The joint venture between BSCOMC and JPM China, together with the newly created Qualified Foreign Limited Partner ("OFLP") program, is expected to enable the Fund to access Chinese companies generally not accessible to non-PRC investors. Under the OFLP program, the Fund will be able to convert an investor's US dollar investment into Chinese RMB. The Fund will then be able to invest in RMIldenominated private equity deals. In addition, the Fund is expected to provide accelerated governmental approval for deals. Favorable macro environment in China. Over the past decade, the Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") of China grew more rapidly than its global peers. In 2010. GDP growth was 10.3% while U.S. and global GDP growth were 2.8% and 5.0%. respectively.' Additionally, China's working population is expected to exceed that of the U.S. and Europe combined, with an expected working age population of 550 million people by 2020.2 Alongside the favorable demographic and economic growth trends is the growth in Chinese middle class consumption. It is expected that middle class consumption will grow from approximately $750 billion in 2009 to over $4.0 trillion in 2020, exceeding U.S. middle class consumption'. Experienced investment team. The PEG is one of the largest teams of investment professionals dedicated to building high quality private equity portfolios, with a strategy and process developed and refined over the past 31 years°.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY BEIDM believes that the Chinese private equity market offers an opportunity to capitalize on China's domestic economy, growing middle class and government initiative to grow businesses by permitting investment in smaller, rapidly growing private companies. China is home to a large and rapidly expanding pool of experienced and repeat entrepreneurs. Although private enterprises have become a significant presence in the overall Chinese economy, the market for financing private businesses in China remains inefficient. Small Private Owned Enterprises (-POE") generally have fewer options for capital as Chinese banks remain focused on funding government-led initiatives. Due to the increase in the number and presence of private companies, competition for growth capital and inefficient financing markets, in BEIDM's view, China has the potential to offer attractive private equity valuations and entry prices relative to its public markets. POEs have had limited access to credit: Short term loans issued b financial institutions5 mom 112.030 g • 9.003 g 6.003 g 3.003 0 The number of POEs and their aggregate profits have si • nificantl • rown6 IPOEs and soll.erreicnedentles •Others 1.200 1111111111 — „ . . . . . • 0 2000 2001 2002 2000 2034 2005 2006 2007 2006 2009 2 1.000 2 2 BOO ce ▪ 603 55- :too • 200 8 8 Total prords of POEC —Numbs of moistened POEs 8 10 s ° 4 FE 2 0 z In addition, the Fund expects to take advantage of the trend towards privatization of State Owned Enterprises (SOE"). Since the mid 1990's, the Chinese govemment has taken an active stance on the reform of SOEs by divesting minority stakes in their operating business to private sector enterprises. The initial privatization phase of SOEs provides an attractive opportunity for private equity funds to make minority investments in established businesses. Wholly State-Owne Enterprises 'Reorganizatio into a commercial structure 7 Initial rivatization a y 1 Broader private sector ownership As a result of the overall growth of the Chinese economy, BEIDM expects the demand for private equity capital to remain strong and create attractive investment opportunities for the Fund. BEIDM also believes that there will be sufficient exit opportunities for the Fund. As compared to international stock exchanges, the domestic stock markets in Asia have provided attractive exit opportunities and significant liquidity for companies that pursue a domestic IPO. In 2010. there were 400 IPOs in China of which 367 were listed on Chinese domestic stock exchanges.'

CONFIDENTIAL • NOT FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION 2 EFTA00611497 INVESTMENT STRATEGY & STRUCTURE The investment objective of the Fund is to realize capital appreciation through identifying and selecting attractive minority venture capital, growth equity and corporate finance investments in PRC domestic unlisted companies using RMB as currency. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Funds investments are expected to be sourced primarily through the general partners and sponsors of partnerships with whom BEIDM, BSCOMC and certain strategic investors in the Fund have business relationships. BSCOMC was established in December 2008 as a wholly-owned SOE and is among one of the ten largest Chinese enterprises. As one of China's largest asset managers, BSCOMC is the Beijing Municipal Governments largest holding company and controls equity stakes in a portfolio of companies in the automobile, steel, property, electronics, consumer, energy, financial services, and agricultural sectors. BSCOMC is a key local partner as it is one of the largest and most prestigious asset management organizations in China. By virtue of its position in the market. BSCOMC has a deep network of contacts and relationships in the private equity markets that are expected to generate proprietary deal flow for the Fund. In addition, the PEG has longstanding relationships with private equity firms in China and, through these firms, often has strong relationships with the portfolio companies in which these firms invest. BEIDM believes that these relationships will help provide access to investment opportunities in private companies that many other investors are unable to access. By leveraging these access points, the Fund will seek to acquire interests in private companies with a strategic plan for eventual exit from these interests. BEIDM expects to follow a rigorous and disciplined investment selection process that seeks to ensure that all investment opportunities are properly screened and only the most attractive opportunities are considered for investment. The process takes a bottom-up approach designed to assess the probability of an investments future success, and focuses on the company's strategy and business, management team, industry and competitive landscape, and the terms of the transaction. The Fund will focus exclusively on minority growth equity investments in partnership with local private equity funds. The partnership with experienced local private equity funds is expected to provide third party validation of pricing and structure and enhance ongoing management of portfolio companies. In addition to being the general partner and manager of the Fund, BEIDM manages a RMB-denominated fund of private equity funds for PRC investors (the 'RMB Fund-of-Funds").10 Currently, BSCOMC has committed $375 million to the RMB Fund-of-Funds.

CONFIDENTIAL • NOT FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION 7 EFTA00611502 CERTAIN RISK FACTORS The following considerations. which summarize some. but not all. of the risks. should be carefully evaluated before making an investment in the Feeder Fund. The information set forth under "Risk Factors" and "Potential Conflicts of Interest" in the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of each of the Fund and the Feeder Fund must be reviewed in its entirety prior to making a decision to invest in the Feeder Fund. General. An investment in the Fund involves a high degree of risk as a result of (i) the types of investments expected to be made by the Fund. (ii) special risks associated with .vestments in China and (iii) the structure of the Fund. Risks associated with investments in China. The Fund intends to focus its investments in portfolio companies organized in. or whose headquarters or principal business operations are located in. Chive. Such investments present a variety of risks not presented by investments in portfolio companies n developed countries. including but not Invited to risks associated with: (I) economic. political and social conditions: (i) the Chinese legal system: (iii) currency risks related to the Renminbi: (iv) currency exchange controls: (v) regulations goven-ing foreign investments: (vi) cifficulties in exiting Chinese .vestments: (vii) competition for .vestments: (viii) Chinese accounting and disclosure standards: (ix) public health risks and natural disasters: (x) subsequent changes in the investment environment: and (xi) Chinese taxation. In general terms. the investment cimate in China is less mature than in developed countries. While BEIDM believes that the Chinese iwestment climate will develop in a favorable manner. there can be no assurance that this veil occur. and an investment n the Fund should be considered riskier than an investment in a fund that .vests in developed countries. Prospective investors should consider an investment ri the Fund only if they have .dependently determined based upon their own analysis that the risks and challenges of China-related investments are outweighed by the potential benefits. Risks of private equity investments. The venture capital companies in which the Fund will seek to invest may be in a conceptual or early stage of development. may not have a proven operating history and may have products that are not yet developed or ready to be marketed or that have no established market. Investments made in connection with acquisition transactions are subject to a variety of special risks. including the risk that the acquiring company has paid too much for the acquired business, the risk of unforeseen liabilities. the risks associated with new or unproven management or new business strategies and the risk that the acquired business will not be successfully integrated with existing businesses or produce the expected synergies. No assurance of investment returns. The Fund is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. The Fund's task of identifying investment opportunities in China'based portfolio companies. managing such investments and realizing an attractive rate of return for investors will be difficult. There is no assurance that the Fund will be able to invest its capital on attractive terms or generate positive returns for its investors. Further. there is no assurance of any al:cations of any profit or any distributions to the limited partners of the Fund at any time and fielded partners may lose part or al of thei investment in the Fund. Valuation. II will be difficult to value interests in portfolio companies, as there is no established market for these types of interests. The overall performance of the Fund will be significantly affected by the acquisition price paid by the Fund for its interests in portfolio companies. which will be negotiated with the issuers or other sellers of the interests. Risks associated with minority portfolio investments. The Fund will hold a minority. non-controlling interest in each portfolio company in which it directly invests and may acquire securities that are subordinated vis-a-vis other securities as to economic. management or other attributes. Accordingly. the Fund's investments will be subject to the risk a portfolio company may make business. Mandel or management decisions with which BEIDM does not agree. or that the majority stakeholders or management of a portfolio company may take risks or otherwise act in a mariner that does not serve the interests of the Fund Availability of investment opportunities and information The market for venture capital. growth equity and corporate finance direct investments is limited and competitive. Identifying attractive investment opportunities is difficult and involves a high degree of uncertainty. Moreover. .vestments are from lime to tine oversubscribed. and it may not be possible to make investments that have been identified as attractive opportunities. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to invest fully its committed capital. Many investment decisions made on behalf of the Fund will be dependent upon the ability of BEIDM's representatives and agents to obtain relevant information from non-pudic sources, and BEIDM often will be requaed to make decisions without complete information or in reliance upon information provided by third parties that is impracticable or impossible to verify. Long-term and illiquid investment; penally for default. A commitment to the Fund is a long-tern investment. There will be no market for interests irk the Fund. substantial restrictions on transfer of interests and no right to withdraw capital. The expected term of the Fund will be the lesser of (i) ten years from the earlier of the Activation Date. with up to two one-year extensions and f) fifteen years. Although the Fund expects to make distributions prior to its termination. there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of any such distributions. After the Fund makes a distribution to an Oterniediate entity, there may be a substantial delay before such intermediate entity, in tum. is able to make a distribution to another intermedate entity or Feeder Fund. The Fund may draw down the capital commitments of investors al any time during the term of the Fund. Thus, there will be a substantial period of time during which investors may be obligated to provide capital without receiving any return and regardless of the performance of the Fund. M investor that defaults in any payment with respect to its capital commitment to the Fund will be subject to substantial penalties. Illiquidity of private equity investments. The Funds private equity investment portfolio will consist primarily of illiquid securities of private companies. There may be no readily available market for the Fund's investments. many of which will be difficult to value. and the disposal of a portfolio investment by the Fund may be prohibited or delayed due to legal. contractual or practical reasons. The Fund will be limited n its ability sell liquidate. distribute or otherwise transfer its interests in portfolio companies. Lack of diversification. The Fund may make only a limited number of iwestments and. as a consequence. the aggregate retum on the Funds investments may be substantially adversely affected by the unfavorable performance of one or a small number of the Fund's investments. PEG does not control Fund investment decisions. While members of the PEG will be part of the leadership and investment committee of BEIDM. the PEG will not control decisions regarding makng, managing and disposing of investments made by the Fund. Lack of operating history. While members of the PEG who will be involved in managing the Fund's investments have substantial experience in private equity investments. the Fund was only recently formed. does not as yet have any operating history and has not made any investments. Further. whie members of each of the PEG and BSCOMC who will be involved in the leadership. investment committee and administration of BEIDM have substantial experience in private equity investing. BEIDM was only recently formed and does not as yet have any operating history. Potential conflicts of interest. Affiliates of BEIDM provide a broad range of financial advisory services. While these relationships and activities might enable BEIDM to offer attractive opportunities and services to the Fund these relationships and activities also may from time to time give rise to conflicts of interest with the Fund. BSCOMC. the largest owner of BEIDM. is a govemment-owned entity and this relationship could give rise to conflicts of interest with the Fund. Risks associated with the OFLP structure. The OFLP structure is a new type of private equity find ovmership structure and the parameters of the OFLP structure are not clearly defined and legal uncertainty exists.
