THIS CONSORTIUM AGREEMENT is made as of July 6, 2012, among Michael Xin Hui (the “Founder”), ChemExplorer Investment Holdings Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, ChemPartner Investment Holdings Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (together with ChemExplorer Investment Holdings Ltd., the “Founder Vehicles”, and together with the Founder, the “Founder Parties”), and TPG Star Charisma Limited (the “Sponsor”). Each of the Founder Parties and the Sponsor is referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”.

WHEREAS, the Parties propose to form a consortium (the “Consortium”) to undertake a transaction (the “Transaction”) to acquire ShangPharma Corporation (the “Target”) which would result in a delisting of the Target from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and deregistering the Target under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Target is listed on the NYSE and incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and the Founder Parties currently beneficially own 182,311,830 or approximately 54.0%, and the Sponsor and investment vehicles affiliated with the Sponsor currently beneficially own 37,234,014 or approximately 11.0% of its issued and outstanding ordinary shares, par value US$0.001 per share (the “Target Ordinary Shares”) (not including outstanding restricted share units or share options);

WHEREAS, as part of the Transaction, the Parties propose to incorporate a new company (“Holdco”) under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and to cause Holdco to incorporate a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) under the laws of the Cayman Islands. At the Closing (as defined below), the Parties intend that (a) Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Target (the “Merger”), with the Target being the surviving company (the “Surviving Company”) and becoming a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco, (b) each outstanding Target Ordinary Share, other than the Rollover Shares (as defined below) held by (i) the Founder Vehicles and (ii) the Sponsor and investment vehicles affiliated with the Sponsor (subject to any exceptions to be agreed between the Parties), will be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive the merger consideration per Target Ordinary Share to be set forth in the Merger Agreement (as defined below) (the “Merger Consideration”); and (c) all remaining Target Ordinary Shares held by the Founder Parties or the Sponsor or investment vehicles affiliated with the Sponsor, in each case as specified in Schedule A (collectively, the “Rollover Shares”) will be surrendered and cancelled for no consideration or contributed to Holdco for no consideration (subject to any exceptions to be agreed between the Parties);

WHEREAS, on the date hereof, the Founder and the Sponsor will submit a non-binding proposal, a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule B (the “Proposal”) to the Target’s board of directors in connection with the Transaction; and

WHEREAS, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Parties will cooperate and participate in (a) the evaluation of the Target, including conducting due diligence, (b) discussions regarding the Proposal with the Target, and (c) the negotiation of the terms of definitive documentation in connection with the Transaction (in which negotiations the Parties expect that the Target will be represented by a special committee of independent and disinterested directors of the Target), including an agreement and plan of merger among Holdco, Merger Sub and the Target in the form to be agreed by the Parties (the “Merger Agreement”), which shall be subject to the approval of the board of directors of the Target.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and of the mutual agreements and covenants set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PROPOSAL; DEBT FINANCING; HOLDCO OWNERSHIP

Section 1.01.Transaction. The Parties agree to pursue a Transaction on the terms set forth in this Agreement.

Section 1.02.Share Contribution. In connection with the Transaction, each of Founder and the Sponsor shall (i) contribute or cause to be contributed to Holdco the Rollover Shares held by him or it, or their respective Affiliates, in exchange for equity interests of Holdco, or (ii) have the Rollover Shares held by him or it or their respective Affiliates cancelled by surrender in connection with the Transaction, subject to the execution of the Merger Agreement and the satisfaction or waiver of the various conditions for closing the Transaction to be set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Section 1.03.Additional Consortium Members. The Parties may together agree to admit one or more additional members of the Consortium which will provide equity capital and/or debt financing to the Consortium for the consummation of the Transaction. Such additional member(s) of the Consortium shall execute a deed of adherence to this Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Parties.

Section 1.04.Proposal. Promptly following execution hereof, the Founder and the Sponsor shall submit a letter to the Target’s board of directors disclosing the execution of this Agreement. Thereafter, the Parties shall: (a) undertake due diligence with respect to the Target and its business; (b) engage in discussions with the Target regarding the Proposal; and (c) negotiate in good faith (i) any amendments to the terms of the Proposal and (ii) the terms of the Documentation (including the terms of any other agreements between the Parties required to support the Proposal or to regulate the relationship between the Parties), in each case, which terms must be acceptable to each Party in their respective discretion. The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on a shareholders’ agreement (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”) that would, among other things, govern the relationship of the shareholders in Holdco following the Closing, and that would contain provisions customary for transactions of this type.

-2-

Section 1.05.Debt Financing.

(a) The Parties agree and acknowledge that the Merger Agreement may include customary provisions regarding the Parties’ and Target’s cooperation with respect to debt financing but shall not include, as a condition to Closing, any debt financing condition. The Parties shall use best efforts to arrange debt financing (“Debt Financing”) for the Target to be implemented at or following the Closing in the quantum, type and terms as jointly determined by the Sponsor and the Founder. The Parties shall work together and cooperate in good faith in connection with arranging the Debt Financing. The Sponsor shall take the lead in coordinating with banks and other financing sources identified by the Sponsor and/or the Founder in connection with the Debt Financing (the “Financing Banks”), and the other Parties shall provide such assistance in connection with arranging the Debt Financing as may be reasonably requested by the Sponsor and/or the Founder.

(b) Each of the Parties shall (i) furnish the Financing Banks with financial and other pertinent information as may be reasonably requested by the Financing Banks as promptly as practicable, including all financial statements, business plans, forecasts and projections, and financial and other data of the type and form customarily required to consummate the facilities contemplated by the Debt Financing, subject to appropriate confidentiality undertakings, (ii) assist with the preparation of materials for bank information memoranda and similar documents required in connection with the Debt Financing, and (iii) take all corporate actions reasonably requested by the Financing Banks to permit the consummation of the Debt Financing, including the facilitation of the pledging of collateral and, in connection therewith, executing and delivering any pledge and security documents, other definitive financing documents or other certificates, or documents as may be requested by the Financing Banks, provided that nothing in this Section 1.05 shall be construed to create any obligation on the part of (x) any Founder Party or (y) the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates, to pledge any collateral in connection with the Debt Financing.

Section 1.06.Holdco Ownership. Unless the Parties otherwise agree, prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Parties shall incorporate Holdco and shall cause Holdco to incorporate Merger Sub. The Parties shall agree in good faith the memorandum and articles of association of Holdco and Merger Sub, and the memorandum and articles of association of Merger Sub upon the Closing shall become the form of the memorandum and articles of association of the Surviving Company. The relative ownership of Holdco by the Parties will be based on their relative capital contributions to Holdco (with each Rollover Share being valued at the Merger Consideration), unless otherwise agreed among the Parties; it being understood that the Sponsor’s and the Founder Parties’ aggregate ownership of Holdco shall not be less than their Respective Proportion (subject to any dilution agreed to by the Founder in connection with the granting of Holdco equity incentive awards, if any, to employees of the Target in connection with the Transaction). For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that the obligation of the Founder Parties and the Sponsor to purchase and pay for any Holdco shares to be purchased by them shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the various conditions to the obligations of Holdco and Merger Sub to be set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Section 2.01.Information Sharing and Roles. (a) Each Party shall cooperate in good faith in connection with the Proposal and the Transaction, including by (i) complying with any information delivery or other requirements (including confidentiality agreements with the Target) entered into by Holdco, a Party or an Affiliate of a Party and shall not, and shall direct that its Representatives do not, cause (by their action or omission) any other Party to breach such agreements or obligations, (ii) executing any confidentiality agreements reasonably required by the Target, (iii) permitting each other Party to conduct such diligence with respect to the Target as such other Party may reasonably require, and (iv) conducting negotiations with the Special Committee, its advisors and other parties in connection with the Transaction and in coordination with each other.

(b) The Parties shall work together in good faith to agree on necessary public statements about their intentions in relation to the Target. The issuance of any such public statement shall be subject to the approval process and terms of Section 7.01.

Section 2.02.Appointment of Advisors. (a) All joint Advisors, and the scope and other terms of such Advisors’ engagement, to Holdco and/or the Parties in connection with the Proposal and the Transaction shall be mutually satisfactory to each Party. The Parties agree that (i) Ropes & Gray LLP shall be engaged as international legal counsel to provide international legal services to the Consortium in connection with the Proposal and the Transaction and (ii) Maples and Calder shall be engaged as Cayman Islands legal counsel to provide Cayman Islands legal services to the Consortium in connection with the Proposal and the Transaction. The foregoing appointment does not limit the right of the Parties to appoint additional joint Advisors to perform any function agreed by the Parties on behalf of Holdco and/or the Parties.

(b) If a Party requires separate representation in connection with specific issues arising out of the Proposal or the Transaction or other matters contemplated by the Documentation, it may retain other Advisors to advise it. Any Party which engages any separate Advisors shall provide prior notice to the other Parties of such engagement together with an estimate of fees and expenses of such Advisors. Latham & Watkins shall be engaged international legal counsel to provide international legal services to the Founder in connection with the Proposal and the Transaction.
