The Company entered into a convertible note exchange agreement (the “Convertible Note Exchange Agreement”) with LMR Multi-Strategy Master Fund Limited (“LMR”) on October 4, 2024. Under the Convertible Note Exchange Agreement, LMR agrees to deliver to the Company for cancellation and termination the US$35,537,481 aggregate outstanding amount of the convertible notes previously issued by the Company to LMR pursuant to the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement dated June 29, 2023, as amended and restated on November 10, 2023, and the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement dated August 31, 2023, as amended and restated on November 10, 2023 (collectively, the “Previous Convertible Note Agreements”). In exchange, the Company will issue to LMR a convertible note (the “New Note”) in the principal amount of US$35,000,000 and, on or before December 31, 2024, pay US$537,481 to LMR in cash.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and the closing is expected to take place in the near future. The initial maturity date of the New Note is September 30, 2025, which will be extended to December 31, 2025 if, on such date, the outstanding principal amount of the New Note is less than US$34,000,000. The term can be extended further until June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2026 depending on the Company’s repayment progress. Interest will be payable quarterly at a simple interest rate of 5.00% per annum. On or prior to June 30, 2025, the Company has the right to redeem all or any portion of the New Note at a price equal to 80% of the principal amount of all or such portion of the New Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Company also agrees to apply 20% of the net proceeds from any equity financing with a bona fide third-party investor or in the public market (excluding debt financing, whether or not involving an equity component) consummated prior to the maturity date to redeem a corresponding portion of the New Note. The New Note is convertible into American depositary shares (“ADSs”) representing the Company’s Class A ordinary shares. The first conversion period commences on January 20, 2025. LMR’s right to convert is subject to a quarterly conversion cap and can be suspended if certain repayments are made by the Company.

The issuance of the securities is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and is made in reliance on, and in compliance with, Regulation S under the Securities Act. As contemplated by the terms of the Convertible Note Exchange Agreement, the Company and LMR will also terminate certain derivative arrangements entered into with respect to the ADSs in connection with the Previous Convertible Note Agreements.

“We are pleased to complete this exchange of convertible notes with LMR, which demonstrates the Company’s commitment to strengthening our financial foundation,” said Ms. Wang Yang, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “This strategic transaction also reflects our financial partners’ confidence in our business model and growth strategy, as well as our shared belief in the Company’s long-term vision. Going forward, we will remain dedicated to delivering sustainable value to our shareholders and shaping the future of EV charging services.”

“The new agreement with LMR enhances our financial flexibility and optimizes our capital structure,” said Mr. Steven Sim, Chief Financial Officer of the Company. “By exchanging and extending the maturity of our debt, we are better positioned to manage our cash flow and fund our strategic initiatives, while safeguarding our existing shareholders’ interests.”

If any such payment date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest on such payment will accrue in respect of the delay.

2.3. Seniority. This Note ranks senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to this Note, equal in right of payment to any of the Company’s future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company that are not so subordinated, junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally junior to all future indebtedness incurred by the Company’s Subsidiaries and their other liabilities (including trade payables).

2.4. Events of Default. For purposes of this Note, an “Event of Default” will be deemed to have occurred if any of the following events occur, whatever the reason or cause for such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority or otherwise:

(e) Adverse Judgment. Final judgments or orders for the payment, singly or in the aggregate, of US$15,000,000 (or the foreign currency equivalent thereof) or more (excluding any amounts covered by insurance) is rendered against the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, which judgment or order is not paid, bonded or otherwise discharged or stayed within 60 calendar days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the right to appeal thereof has expired if no such appeal has commenced and (ii) the date on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished;

(f) Security Enforced. Any mortgage, charge, pledge, lien or other encumbrance, present or future, created or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is enforced (including the taking of possession or the appointment of a receiver, administrative receiver, administrator, manager or other similar person), and is not discharged within 30 calendar days;

2.5. Consequences of Event of Default.

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company will promptly deliver written notice thereof to the Holder. If one or more Events of Default will have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it will be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority), then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 2.4(f) or Section 2.4(g) or with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), unless the principal of this Note will have already become due and payable, the Holder may, by notice in writing to the Company, declare 100% of the outstanding principal of this Note to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same will become and will automatically be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 2.4(f) or Section 2.4(g) with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries occurs and is continuing, 100% of the outstanding principal of this Note will become and will automatically be immediately due and payable without any action on the part of the Holder.

(b) Subsection (a) above, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the outstanding principal of this Note will have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due will have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company will pay or will deposit with the Holder a sum sufficient to pay the outstanding principal of this Note that will have become due otherwise than by acceleration, and if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) any and all existing Events of Default under this Note, other than the nonpayment of the principal on this Note that will have become due solely by such acceleration, will have been cured or waived, then and in every such case the Holder, by written notice to the Company, may waive all defaults or Events of Default with respect to this Note and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and such default will cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Note; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment will extend to or will affect any subsequent Event of Default, or will impair any right consequent thereon.

2.6. Damages. If a competent court rules that either party is in breach of terms of this Note and the other party suffers damages, losses, costs or expenses as a result, remedies payable by this party to the non-breaching party will be the damages as determined by the court.

ARTICLE 3
CONVERSION

3.1. Conversion by Holder. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 3, during each Conversion Period, the Holder will have the right, at the Holder’s option, to convert the principal amount of this Note in an amount up to the Quarterly Conversion Cap in such Conversion Period (the “Conversion Right”) (provided that the portion to be converted is at least US$1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of this Note (or the entirety of the principal amount of this Note) and any integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof (or the entirety of the principal amount of this Note)) to the Company’s fully paid ADSs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is not obligated to give effect to any exercise of conversion rights (including the Conversion Rights granted under this Note) more than once every seven (7) calendar days. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall not have the Conversion Right on and after the Maturity Date.

3.2. Conversion Price. Subject to adjustments as provided in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, the initial price at which ADSs will be delivered upon conversion (the “Conversion Price”) shall be 0.90 times the arithmetic average of the VWAP of the ADSs traded in the Trading Days of the thirty (30)-day period immediately preceding January 20, 2025. The Conversion Price shall reset on the first day following each subsequent Quarterly Payment Date (each such day, the “Reset Date”) and be in effect during the relevant Conversion Period. The Conversion Price, commencing with the first Reset Date and for each subsequent Reset Date, shall be the U.S. dollar amount equal to the higher of (i) 0.90 times the arithmetic average of the VWAP of the ADSs traded in the Trading Days of the ninety (90)-day period immediately preceding the relevant Reset Date and (ii) the Floor Price, subject to adjustments as provided in Article 4.

In all calculations of the Conversion Price, if the relevant Conversion Notice is delivered to the Company on a day that is not a Trading Day, the Conversion Notice will be deemed to have been delivered on the next day that is a Trading Day.

3.3. Book Closure Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Conversion Date in respect of this Note would otherwise fall during a period in which the register of ADSs of the Depositary is closed generally or for the purpose of establishing entitlement to any distribution or other rights attaching to the ADSs (a “Book Closure Period”), such Conversion Date will be postponed to the first Trading Day following the expiry of such Book Closure Period.

3.4. Conversion Procedure; Settlement Upon Conversion.

(a) This Note will be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has delivered (1) a duly completed and executed irrevocable written notice to the Registrar in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”), (2) the Note Certificate to the Registrar for cancellation or notation of the outstanding principal amount of this Note after partial conversion, and (3) the ADS conversion documents pursuant to the procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time to the Registrar and the Depositary. On or before the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Registrar will transmit by facsimile or other electronic means a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder (the “Receipt Confirmation” and such date of transmission, the “Receipt Confirmation Date”). Within five (5) Business Days after the relevant Receipt Confirmation Date, the Company will (i) take all actions and execute all documents and procure that the Depositary take all actions and execute all documents necessary to effect the issuance of the number of ADSs to which the Holder will be entitled in satisfaction of any conversion pursuant to Section 3.1, (ii) cause entries on the Company’s register of members to be entered with respect to the Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs in the name of the Depositary for the purpose of such deposit and (iii) subject to Section 3.5(c), cancel this Note Certificate. No Conversion Notice may be delivered and this Note Certificate may not be surrendered by the Holder for conversion thereof if the Holder has also delivered a Relevant Event Put Exercise Notice to the Registrar in respect of this Note and not validly withdrawn such Relevant Event Put Exercise Notice in accordance with Section 5.4. A single certificate will be issued in respect of all ADSs issued on conversion of this Note subject of the same Conversion Notice.

(b) The Company will not issue any Fractional ADS upon conversion of this Note and will instead pay cash in lieu of any Fractional ADS deliverable upon conversion based on the VWAP of the ADSs on the relevant Conversion Date.

(c) In the event the Holder presents this Note Certificate to the Registrar pursuant to Section 3.5(a) for partial conversion, the Registrar will record the outstanding principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the presented Note Certificate on the Register and the “Schedule of Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note in respect of which this Note Certificate is issued” attached to this Note Certificate and update the Register to reflect such outstanding principal amount. Such recoding will be made without payment of any service charge by the Holder.

(d) If the Holder submits this Note Certificate to the Registrar for conversion, the Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the delivery of the ADSs upon such conversion of this Note (or the issuance of the underlying Ordinary Shares), unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such ADSs (or such Ordinary Shares) to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder will pay that tax. The Company will pay the relevant Depositary’s fees for issuance of the ADSs.

(e) The number of ADSs to be issued on conversion of a Note will be determined by dividing the principal amount of Note to be converted by the Conversion Price (in the event of Fractional ADS, cash in lieu of such Fractional ADS shall be paid pursuant to Section 3.5(b)). The Company’s settlement of each conversion pursuant to this Article 3 will be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of this Note converted.

(f) If the record date for the payment of any dividend or other distribution in respect of the Original Shares is on or after the Conversion Date in respect of this Note, but before the issuance of the ADS to the Holder, the Company will calculate and directly pay to the converting Holder an amount in U.S. dollars (the “Equivalent Amount”) equal to the Fair Market Value of such dividend or other distribution to which the Holder would have been entitled had the Depositary on that record date been such a shareholder of record of Original Shares and will make the payment at the same time as it makes payment of the dividend or other distribution, or as soon as practicable thereafter, but, in any event, not later than seven (7) Business Days thereafter.

(g) Except as provided in Section 3.5(f), no adjustment will be made for dividends on any ADSs delivered upon any conversion of this Note as provided in this Article 3.

3.5. Cash Alternative Election.

Upon receiving a Conversion Notice, the Company may, at its sole option, make an election (the “Cash Alternative Election”) to satisfy the exercise of the Conversion Right in respect of such Conversion Notice, in whole and not in part, by paying the Cash Alternative Amount to such converting Holder. The Company will inform the Holder of its exercise of the Cash Alternative Election by giving notice to the Holder in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Cash Alternative Election Notice”) within five (5) Business Days after the Receipt Confirmation Date (the “Cash Alternative Election Notice Date”).

The “Cash Alternative Amount” is an amount in U.S. dollars equal to the number of ADSs that would be deliverable upon conversion of the principal amount to be converted pursuant to the relevant Conversion Notice multiplied by the VWAP of the ADSs over the three (3) Trading Days immediately following the Cash Alternative Election Notice Date (the “Cash Alternative Amount Determination Period”). For the avoidance of doubt, the number of ADSs that would be deliverable upon conversion shall be computed based on the provisions of Section 3.1 above.

The Company will pay the Cash Alternative Amount by the later of (i) the next succeeding Quarterly Payment Date or (ii) the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the end of the Cash Alternative Amount Determination Period.

3.6. Equivalent Original Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, if the converting Holder is, or is holding this Note on behalf of a beneficial owner who is, an “affiliate” of the Company as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, unless (i) Cash Settlement applies or (ii) the Cash Alternative Election applies and the Company makes such Cash Alternative Election, the Company’s obligation to deliver ADSs pursuant to the relevant Conversion Notice will be satisfied by the Company’s delivery of Equivalent Original Shares represented by a share certificate with the applicable restrictive legend. “Equivalent Original Shares” means the number of Original Shares represented by the number of ADSs to be delivered by the Company pursuant to the relevant Conversion Notice.

3.7. Cash Settlement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, in no event shall the aggregate number of Original Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) held by the Holder exceed 9.99% of the voting power of all of the Company’s outstanding common stock and 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares] (collectively, the “Share Cap”). In furtherance of the foregoing, each time before the Holder exercises its Conversion Right, the Holder shall deliver to the Company a written certificate duly executed by the Holder’s authorized representative setting forth the numbers of ADSs and Ordinary Shares held by the Holder immediately prior to and after such proposed conversion. If the delivery of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) pursuant to a Conversion Notice (such notice, the “Latest Conversion Notice”) would result in the aggregate number of Original Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) held by the Holder exceeding the Share Cap, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) to the Holder, and any portion of the principal amount designated in the Latest Conversion Notice that is not so converted (the “Remaining Amount”) shall be settled by the Company by paying the Cash Settlement Amount to the Holder.

The “Cash Settlement Amount” is an amount in U.S. dollars equal to the number of ADSs that would be deliverable upon conversion of a principal amount equal to the Remaining Amount multiplied by the VWAP of the ADSs over the three (3) Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date for such conversion (the “Cash Settlement Determination Period”). For the avoidance of doubt, the number of ADSs that would be deliverable upon conversion shall be computed based on the provisions of Section 3.1 above.

The Company will pay the Cash Settlement Amount by the later of (i) the next succeeding Quarterly Payment Date or (ii) the fifth (5th) Business Day after the end of the Cash Settlement Determination Period.

ARTICLE 4
ADJUSTMENTS

4.1. Adjustment to the then applicable Conversion Price and the Floor Price.

(a) Upon the happening of any of the following events described in this Article 4, the then appliable Conversion Price and the Floor Price of US$1.00 per ADS, which represents a Floor Share Price of US$0.005 per Share, will be adjusted such that the adjusted Floor Price will be the Floor Share Price, as adjusted pursuant to Sections 4.1.1 to 4.1.9, multiplied by 200.0 (the “ADS Ratio”), which is the ratio of each ADS representing two hundred (200) Ordinary Shares. If there is a change in the ratio of ADSs to the Ordinary Shares as of the relevant calculation date, the ADS Ratio will be adjusted to reflect the then-current ratio (the “Current ADS Ratio”).

(b) The parties agree to negotiate in good faith any amendment to the Floor Price and the Floor Share Price if the VWAP of the ADSs over any five (5) Trading Day-period is lower than the Floor Price.

(c) Upon the happening of any of the following events described in this Article 4 during any Conversion Price measurement period as contemplated by Section 3.2, the prices comprising the relevant VWAP shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Floor Price as determined by Sections 4.1.1 to 4.1.9. For the avoidance of doubt, the adjustment to the then applicable Conversion Price under this Section 4.1 shall not apply if the VWAP comprising the relevant Conversion Price has already been adjusted.

4.1.1 Consolidation, Subdivision or Reclassification:

(i) If and whenever the Company will issue any Shares as a dividend, including as a Scrip Dividend, or distribution on the Shares, or if the Company shall effect a share split or share combination, the then appliable Conversion Price and the Floor Share Price will be adjusted by multiplying such prices in force immediately before such alteration by the following fraction:

A
B

where:

A is the number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the applicable dividend date or effective date; and

B is the number of Shares outstanding immediately after the open of business on the applicable ex-dividend date or effective date; and

Such adjustment will become effective immediately after the open of business on the applicable ex-dividend date or effective date.

4.1.2 Distributions

(i) If and whenever the Company will pay or make any Non-Cash Distribution to the Shareholders (except to the extent that the then appliable Conversion Price and the Floor Price fall for adjustment within the provisions of Section 4.1.1), the then appliable Conversion Price and the Floor Price will be adjusted, without duplication, by multiplying such prices in force immediately prior to the ex-dividend date of such Non-Cash Distribution by the following fraction:

A – B
A

where:

A is the Current Market Price of one Share on the applicable ex-dividend date; and

B is the Fair Market Value on the applicable ex-dividend date of the portion of the Non-Cash Distribution attributable to one Share or, in the case of a purchase, redemption or buyback of Shares, the Per Share Deemed Dividend Amount as specified in clause (ii) of the definition of “Dividend.”

Such adjustment will become effective as of the open of business on the applicable ex-dividend date or, if later, the first date upon which the Fair Market Value of the Non-Cash Distribution is capable of being determined as provided in this Section 4.1.

(ii) If and whenever the Company will pay or make any Cash Distribution to the Shareholders, the then appliable Conversion Price and the Floor Price will be adjusted, without duplication, by multiplying such price in force immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such Cash Distribution by the following fraction:

A – B
A

where:

A is the Current Market Price of one Share on the applicable ex-dividend date; and

B the amount of the Cash Distribution on a per-Share basis.

Such adjustment will become effective as of the open of business on the applicable ex-dividend date on which such Cash Distribution is actually made or if a record date is fixed therefor, immediately after such record date.

4.1.3 Rights Issues of Shares or Options over Shares: If and whenever the Company will issue Shares to all or substantially all Shareholders as a class by way of rights, or issue or grant to all or substantially all Shareholders as a class, by way of rights, options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase or otherwise acquire any Shares, in each case at less than the Current Market Price per Share on the date of the announcement of the terms of the issue or grant, the then appliable Conversion Price and the Floor Price will be adjusted by multiplying such prices in force immediately before such issue or grant by the following fraction:

A + B
A + C

where:

A is the number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the applicable ex-dividend date;

B is the number of Shares which the aggregate amount (if any) payable for the Shares issued by way of rights or for the options or warrants or other rights issued or granted by way of rights and for the total number of Shares comprised therein would subscribe, purchase or otherwise acquire at such Current Market Price per Share; and

C is the aggregate number of Shares issued or, as the case may be, comprised in the grant.

Such adjustment will become effective as of the open of business on the ex-dividend date of such Shares or issue or grant of such options, warrants or other rights (as the case may be).

4.1.4 Issues at less than Current Market Price: If and whenever the Company will issue (other than as mentioned in Section 4.1.3) any Shares (other than Shares issued as underlying Shares of ADSs on the exercise of Conversion Rights or on the exercise of any other rights of conversion into, or exchange or subscription for, Shares) or issue or grant (other than as mentioned in Section 4.1.3) any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any Shares, in each case at a price per Share which is less than the Current Market Price on the date of announcement of the terms of such issue or grant, the then appliable Conversion Price and the Floor Price will be adjusted by multiplying such prices in force immediately before such issue by the following fraction:

A + B
C

where:

A is the number of Shares in issue immediately before the issue of such additional Shares or the grant of such options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Shares;

B is the number of Shares which the aggregate consideration receivable for the issue of such additional Shares would purchase at such Current Market Price per Share; and

C is the number of Shares in issue immediately after the issue of such additional Shares.

References to additional Shares in the above formula will, in the case of an issue by the Company of options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase Shares, mean such Shares to be issued assuming that such options, warrants or other rights are exercised in full at the initial exercise price on the date of issue of such options, warrants or other rights.

Such adjustment will become effective on the date of issue of such additional Shares or, as the case may be, the grant of such options, warrants or other rights.

4.1.5 Other Issues at less than Current Market Price: Save in the case of an issue of securities arising from a conversion or exchange of other securities in accordance with the terms applicable to such securities themselves falling within the provisions of this Section 4.1.5, if and whenever the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (otherwise than as mentioned in Sections 4.1.3 or 4.1.4) or (at the direction or request of or pursuant to any arrangements with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) any other person (otherwise than as mentioned in Sections 4.1.3 or 4.1.4) will issue any securities which by their terms of issue carry rights of conversion into, or exchange or subscription for, Shares to be issued by the Company upon conversion, exchange or subscription at a consideration per Share which is less than the Current Market Price on the date of announcement of the terms of issue of such securities. In such an event, the Floor Share Price will be adjusted by multiplying the Floor Share Price in force immediately before such issue by the following fraction:

A + B
A + C

where:

A is the number of Shares in issue immediately before such issue;

B is the number of Shares which the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company for the Shares to be issued on conversion or exchange or on exercise of the right of subscription attached to such securities would purchase at such Current Market Price; and

C is the maximum number of Shares to be issued on conversion or exchange of such securities or on the exercise of such rights of subscription attached thereto at the initial conversion, exchange or subscription price or rate.

Such adjustment will become effective on the date of issue of such securities.

4.1.6 Modification of Rights of Conversion etc.: If and whenever there will be any modification of the rights of conversion, exchange or subscription attaching to any such securities as are mentioned in Section 4.1.5 (other than in accordance with the terms of such securities) so that the consideration per Share (for the number of Shares available on conversion, exchange or subscription following the modification) is less than the Current Market Price on the date of announcement of the proposals for such modification, each of the then applicable Conversion Price and the Floor Price will be adjusted by multiplying such prices in force immediately before such modification by the following fraction:

A + B
A + C

where:

A is the number of Shares in issue immediately before such modification;

B is the number of Shares which the aggregate consideration (if any) receivable by the Company for the Shares to be issued, or otherwise made available, on conversion or exchange or on exercise of the right of subscription attached to the securities, so modified, would purchase at such Current Market Price per Share or, if lower, the existing conversion, exchange or subscription price of such securities; and

C is the maximum number of Shares to be issued, or otherwise made available, on conversion or exchange of such securities or on the exercise of such rights of subscription attached thereto at the modified conversion, exchange or subscription price or rate but giving credit in such manner as an Independent Investment Bank consider appropriate (if at all) for any previous adjustment under this Section 4.1.6 or Section 4.1.5.

Such adjustment will become effective on the date of modification of the rights of conversion, exchange or subscription attaching to such securities.

4.1.7 Other Events: If the Company determines that an adjustment should be made to the then appliable Conversion Price and the Floor Price as a result of one or more events or circumstances not referred to in this Section 4.1, the Company will at its own expense request an Independent Investment Bank to determine as soon as practicable what adjustment (if any) to such prices is fair and reasonable to take account thereof, if the adjustment would result in a reduction in such prices, and the date on which such adjustment should take effect and upon such determination by the Independent Investment Bank such adjustment (if any) will be made and will take effect in accordance with such determination, provided that where events or the circumstances giving rise to any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.1 have already resulted or will result in an adjustment to the then appliable Conversion Price and the Floor Price or where the circumstances giving rise to any adjustment arise by virtue of events or circumstances which have already given rise or will give rise to an adjustment to such prices, such modification (if any) will be made to the operation of the provisions of this Section 4.1 as may be advised by the Independent Investment Bank to be in its opinion appropriate to give the intended result.

4.1.8 Definitions: For purposes of Section 3.5(f) and this Section 4.1:

“Cash Distribution” means (i) any Dividend which is to be made or paid in cash (in whatever currency) and (ii) any Dividend determined to be a Cash Distribution pursuant to paragraph (i) of the definition of “Dividend” and for the avoidance of doubt a Dividend falling within paragraph (iii) of the definition of Dividend will be treated as a Non-Cash Distribution.

“Current Market Price” means, in respect of a Share at a particular time on a particular date, the Current ADS Ratio multiplied by the average of the Last Reported Sale Price or, as the case may be, by the Eligible Market for one ADS (being an ADS representing Shares carrying full entitlement to dividend) for the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on and including the Trading Day immediately preceding such date.

“Distribution” means a Cash Distribution or a Non-Cash Distribution.

“Dividend” means any dividend or distribution to Shareholders whether of cash, assets or other property, and however described and whether payable out of share premium account, profits, retained earnings or any other capital or revenue reserve or account, and including a distribution or payment to holders upon or in connection with a reduction of capital (and for these purposes a distribution of assets includes without limitation an issue of Shares or other securities credited as fully or partly paid up by way of capitalization of profits or reserves), provided that:

(i) where (1) a Dividend in cash is announced which is to be, or may at the election of a Shareholder or Shareholders be, satisfied by the issue or delivery of Shares or other property or assets, or where a capitalization of profits or reserves is announced which is to be, or may at the election of a Shareholder or Shareholders be, satisfied by the payment of cash, then the Dividend or capitalization in question will be treated as a Cash Distribution of an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Fair Market Value of such cash amount and (ii) if greater than the Fair Market Value of such cash amount, the Current Market Price of such Shares or, as the case may be, the Fair Market Value of such other property or assets, in any such case as at the date of the first public announcement of such Dividend or capitalization (as the case may be) or, if later, the date on which the number of Shares (or amount of such other property or assets, as the case may be) which may be issued or delivered is determined; or (2) there will be any issue of Shares by way of capitalization of profits or reserves (including any share premium account or capital redemption reserve) where such issue is or is expressed to be in lieu of a Dividend (whether or not a cash Dividend equivalent or amount is announced or would otherwise be payable to Shareholders, whether at their election or otherwise), the capitalization in question will be treated as a Cash Distribution of an amount equal to the Current Market Price of such Shares as at the date of the first public announcement of such capitalization or, if later, the date on which the number of Shares to be issued or transferred and delivered is determined;

(ii) a purchase, redemption or buyback of share capital of the Company by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will not constitute a Dividend unless the weighted average price (before expenses) on any one day in respect of such purchases, redemptions or buybacks exceeds the Current Market Price of the Shares, either (1) on that date, or (2) where an announcement has been made of the intention to purchase, redeem or buyback Shares at some future date at a specified price, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such announcement and, if in the case of either (1) or (2), the relevant day is not a Trading Day, the immediately preceding Trading Day, in which case such purchase, redemption or buyback will be deemed to constitute a Dividend in an amount by which the aggregate price paid (before expenses) in respect of such Shares purchased, redeemed or bought back by or on behalf of the Company or, as the case may be, any of its Subsidiaries exceeds the product of (i) the Current Market Price of the Shares determined as aforesaid and (ii) the number of Shares so purchased, redeemed or bought back (the “Per Share Deemed Dividend Amount”).

“Fair Market Value” means, with respect to any assets, security (including options and warrants) or right on any date, the fair market value of that asset, security or right as determined by an Independent Investment Bank using where possible and appropriate relevant commonly accepted market valuation methodology and taking account of such factors as the Independent Investment Bank considers appropriate, including, without limitation, market price, dividend yield, volatility, prevailing market price, prevailing interest rates and the terms of such securities or rights, including as to the expiry date and exercise price (if any) thereof; provided that (i) the fair market value of a cash dividend paid or to be paid per Share will be the amount of such cash dividend per Share determined as at the date of announcement of such dividend; and (ii) where securities or rights are publicly traded in a market of adequate liquidity (as determined by such Independent Investment Bank) the fair market value of such securities or rights will equal the arithmetic mean of the daily closing prices of such securities or rights during the period of five trading days on the relevant market commencing on the first such trading day such securities or rights are publicly traded.

“Independent Investment Bank” means an independent investment bank of international repute selected by the Company at its expense.

“Non-Cash Distribution” means any Dividend which is not a Cash Distribution, but excludes a Scrip Dividend adjusted for under Section 4.1.1.

“Relevant Cash Dividend” means the aggregate cash dividend or distribution declared by the Company, including any cash dividend in respect of which there is a Scrip Dividend.

“Scrip Dividend” means any Shares issued in lieu of cash as part of any Relevant Cash Dividend, being a dividend which the Shareholders concerned would or could otherwise have received (and for the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment is to be made under Section 4.1.2 in respect of the amount by which the Current Market Price of the Shares exceeds the Relevant Cash Dividend or the relevant part thereof but without prejudice to any adjustment required in such circumstances to be made under Section 4.1.1).

“Shares” means ordinary shares of the Company, par value US$0.01 per ordinary share, at the date of this Note, or shares of any class or classes resulting from any subdivision, consolidation or re-classification of those shares, which as between themselves have no preference in respect of dividends or of amounts payable in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

“Shareholders” means holders of the Shares.

4.1.9 For purposes of this Section 4.1, the number of Shares at any time outstanding will not include Shares held in the treasury of the Company (directly or in the form of ADSs) so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on Shares held in the treasury of the Company (directly or in the form of ADSs), but will include Shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Shares.

4.2. Provisions Relating to Changes in the Floor Share Price.

4.2.1 Minor adjustments: On any adjustment, the resultant Conversion Price or Floor Price (as the case may be), if not an integral multiple of one U.S. dollar cent, will be rounded down to the nearest one U.S. dollar cent. No adjustment will be made where such adjustment (rounded down if applicable) would result in less than 1% change of the Conversion Price or Floor Price then in effect. Any adjustment not required to be made, and any amount by which the Conversion Price or Floor Price has not been rounded down, will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Notice of any adjustment will be given by the Company to the Holder in accordance with Section 10.3 as soon as practicable after the determination thereof, and, if applicable, such notice will include a statement of any adjustments to the VWAP of the ADSs pursuant to this Section 4.2.1 as of a relevant date, as well as a statement of how such adjustments were calculated.

4.2.2 Minimum Conversion Price: The Conversion Price may not be reduced so that, on a conversion of this Note, ADSs or Shares will be required to be issued in any circumstances not permitted by applicable Law.

4.2.3 Multiple Events: Where more than one event which gives or may give rise to an adjustment to the Conversion Price or Floor Price occurs within such a short period of time that, in the opinion of an Independent Investment Bank, the foregoing provisions would need to be operated subject to some modification in order to give the intended result, such modification will be made to the operation of the foregoing provisions as may be advised by such Independent Investment Bank to be in its opinion appropriate in order to give such intended result.

4.2.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 4, the Conversion Price or Floor Price will not be adjusted:

(i) upon the issuance of any Shares or ADSs pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in Shares or ADSs under any plan;

(ii) upon the issuance of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Shares or ADSs, and other incentive-based awards or instruments granted under the Company’s existing (as may be amended from time to time hereafter) or future equity incentive plans;

(iii) any issuance of Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) pursuant to the exercise, vesting or exchange of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Shares or ADSs, and other incentive-based awards or instruments granted or to be granted under the Company’s existing (as may be amended from time to time hereafter) or future equity incentive plans; or

(iv) solely for a change in the par value of the Shares.

4.2.5 All calculations and other determinations under this Article 4 will be made by the Company in good faith and will be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of an ADS.

4.3. Certain Covenants.

(a) The Company covenants that all ADSs delivered upon any conversion of this Note, and all Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs, will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

(b) The Company covenants that if any ADSs to be provided for the purpose of any conversion of this Note, or any Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs, require registration with or approval of any Governmental Authority under any Law before such ADSs may be validly issued upon conversion, the Company will, to the extent then permitted by applicable Law, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

(c) The Company further covenants that, for as long as the ADSs are listed on the Nasdaq or any other national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Company will list and keep listed, so long as the ADSs will be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any ADSs deliverable upon any conversion of this Note.

(d) The Company further covenants to take all actions and obtain all approvals and registrations required with respect to any conversion of this Note into ADSs and the issuance of the Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs. The Company also undertakes to maintain, as long as this Note remains outstanding, the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form F-6 relating to the ADSs and an adequate number of ADSs available for issuance thereunder, such that ADSs can be delivered in accordance with the terms of this Note and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement upon any conversion hereunder or thereunder. In addition, the Company further covenants to provide the Holder with a reasonably detailed description of the mechanics for the delivery of ADSs upon any conversion of this Note upon written request by the Holder.

(e) The Holder hereto acknowledges and agrees that (i) nothing herein will require the Company to file a shelf or other registration statement for the resale of this Note, the ADSs deliverable upon conversion of all or any portion of this Note or the Ordinary Shares represented thereby and (ii) the Holder may only resell this Note, the ADSs delivered upon conversion of all or any portion of this Note or the Ordinary Shares represented thereby pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities Laws.

4.4. Notice for Certain Actions. In case of any (a) action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that would require an adjustment in the Floor Share Price pursuant to Section 4.1, or (b) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Note), the Company will deliver a written notice to the Holder, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, stating as applicable (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of record of Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, (ii) the date on which such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, of record will be entitled to exchange their Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, for securities or other property deliverable upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and (iii) in the case of adjustments described in this Section 4.4(a), (x) a statement of the adjustments to the VWAP of the ADSs as of a relevant date to the extent the occurrence of the event subject of the notice is not reflected in the VWAP of the ADSs as reported by Bloomberg under the “AQR” function (or any successor function) with appropriate settings in DPDF (or any successor pages) for the relevant adjustment(s) and (y) a statement of how such adjustments were calculated. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, will not affect the legality or validity of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

4.5. Termination of Depositary Receipt Program. If the Ordinary Shares cease to be represented by ADSs issued under a depositary receipt program sponsored by the Company, all references in this Note to the ADSs will be deemed to have been replaced by a reference to the number of Ordinary Shares (and other property, if any) represented by the ADSs on the last day on which the ADSs represented the Ordinary Shares and as if the Ordinary Shares and the other property had been distributed to holders of the ADSs on that day. In addition, all references to the Last Reported Sale Price of the ADSs will be deemed to refer to the Last Reported Sale Price of the Ordinary Shares, and other appropriate adjustments, including adjustments to the Floor Share Price will be made to reflect such change. In making such adjustments, where currency translations between U.S. dollars and any other currency are required, the exchange rate in effect on the date of determination will apply.

ARTICLE 5
PUT OPTION

5.1. Redemption for Relevant Event.

5.1.1 Following the occurrence of a Relevant Event (as defined below), the Holder will have the right at such Holder’s option to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of such Holder’s Note on the Relevant Event Put Date. To exercise such right, the Holder must provide to the Registrar a duly filled in and executed notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (a “Relevant Event Put Exercise Notice”) together with this Note Certificate not later than 30 days following a Relevant Event, or, if later, 30 days following the date upon which notice thereof is given to the Holder by the Company in accordance with Section 10.3, which Relevant Event Put Exercise Notice shall indicate the portion of such Holder’s Note the Holder is electing to redeem. Each portion of such Holder’s Note subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this section shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of that portion of the Note to be redeemed, plus accrued interest to the date of redemption. The “Relevant Event Put Date” will be the fourteenth day after the expiry of such period of 30 days as referred to above.

5.1.2 A Relevant Event Put Exercise Notice, once delivered, will be irrevocable and may not be withdrawn without the Company’s written consent, and the Company will redeem this Note subject of the Relevant Event Put Exercise Notice delivered (subject to delivery of the relevant Note Certificate as aforesaid) on the Relevant Event Put Date.

5.1.3 Not later than 30 days after becoming aware of a Relevant Event, the Company will procure that notice regarding the Relevant Event will be delivered to the Holder specifying the following:

(i) the Relevant Event Put Date;

(ii) the date of such Relevant Event and, briefly, the events causing such Relevant Event;

(iii) the date by which the Relevant Event Put Exercise Notice must be given;

(iv) the outstanding principal amount of this Note as reflected in the Register;

(v) the procedures that Holder must follow and the requirements that Holder must satisfy in order to exercise the put right or Conversion Right; and

(vi) that a Relevant Event Put Exercise Notice, once validly given, will be irrevocable and may not be withdrawn without the Company’s written consent.

5.1.4 For the purposes of this Article 5, a “Relevant Event” occurs when:

(i) the ADSs (or other common equity or ADSs in respect of common equity underlying this Note) cease to be listed or quoted on any of the Eligible Markets;

(ii) the suspension from trading of the ADSs on any Eligible Market for a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days, except where such suspension is due to a technological problem with the relevant Eligible Market, as the case may be or where such suspensions were generally applicable and affected all issuers with a class of securities listed on such Eligible Market; or

(iii) there has been a Change of Control.

5.2. Redemption Following Exercise of a Put Option. Upon the exercise of the put option specified in Section 5.1, payment of the applicable redemption amount will be conditional upon delivery of this Note Certificate (together with any necessary endorsements) to the Registrar at the place where the Register is kept on any Business Day together with the delivery of any other document(s) required by this Note, and will be made promptly following the later of the Relevant Event Put Date and the time of delivery of this Note Certificate. If the Company holds on the Relevant Event Put Date money sufficient to pay the applicable redemption monies of Note or the relevant portion thereof for which notices have been validly delivered (and not withdrawn with the written consent of the Company) in accordance with the provisions hereof upon exercise of such right, then, whether or not this Note Certificate is delivered to the Registrar, on and after the Relevant Event Put Date, (i) such Note or the relevant portion thereof will cease to be outstanding; (ii) this Note or the relevant portion thereof will be deemed to have been paid; and (iii) all other rights of the Holder will terminate to the extent redeemed (other than the right to receive the applicable redemption monies). In the event of a redemption of less than all of such Holder’s Note, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Note (with substantially similar terms as the Note that is redeemed) representing the outstanding principal which has not been redeemed.

5.3. Redemption upon Maturity. Subject to Section 10.1, on or after the Maturity Date, at the written request of the Holder, the Company shall redeem the aggregate principal amount of the Note then outstanding. The redemption price shall be 100% of the principal amount so redeemed, plus accrued interest to the date of redemption. The Company will give the Holder written notice of a redemption not less than two (2) Business Days prior to such redemption. Such notice shall specify that the principal amount of the Note held by the Holder that will be redeemed, and the interest to be paid on the redemption date with respect to such principal amount being redeemed.

5.4. Redemption Notices. All redemption notices to the Holder given by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Article 5 will be given in accordance with Section 10.3.

ARTICLE 6
CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE, CONVEYANCE AND LEASE

6.1. Company May Consolidate, etc. on Certain Terms. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, the Company will not consolidate with, merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to another Person, unless:

(a) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”), if not the Company, will be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof, the District of Columbia, the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Bermuda or Hong Kong and the Successor Company (if not the Company) will expressly assume, by a duly executed amendment delivered to the Holder and satisfactory in form to the Holder, all of the obligations of the Company under this Note;

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing under this Note; and

(c) the Company has delivered to the Holder at or prior to the effective time of such transaction a certificate addressed to the Holder signed by a director of the Company confirming that such transaction complies with this Section 6.1.

For purposes of this Section 6.1, the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company to another Person, which properties and assets, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, will be deemed to be the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company to another Person.

6.2. Successor Corporation to be Substituted. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and upon the assumption by the Successor Company, by a duly executed amendment delivered to the Holder and satisfactory in form to the Holder, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid Default Interest on this Note, the due and punctual delivery or payment, as the case may be, of any consideration due upon conversion of this Note and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Note to be performed by the Company, such Successor Company (if not the Company) will succeed to and, except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets, will be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part. Such Successor Company thereupon may cause this Note to be signed and re-issued in its own name. This Note as so reissued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit as though it had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or transfer (but not in the case of a lease), upon compliance with this Article 6 the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph of this Note (or any successor that will thereafter have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article 6) may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and, except in the case of a lease, such Person will be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of this Note and from its obligations under this Note.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in this Note thereafter to be re-issued as may be appropriate.

The provisions of this Article 6 shall similarly apply to successive consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, another Person or the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets to another Person.

ARTICLE 7
NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER PRIOR TO CONVERSION

ARTICLE 8
NOTE TRANSFERS AND CANCELLATIONS

The Company will maintain or cause to be maintained at its principal executive offices (or such other office or place designated by the Company and notified to the Holders at least five (5) Business Days prior to the effective date of such designation), a register (the “Register”) for this Note in which the Company (or an agent designated by the Company and notified to the Holders at least five (5) Business Days prior to the effective date of such designation) will act as registrar (the “Registrar”). The Registrar will maintain and keep the Register open for recording during business hours on Business Days and record in the Register the name and address of the Holder in whose name this Note has been issued (including the name and address of each transferee) and the outstanding principal amount of the Note held by such Holder.

8.2. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges. Prior to due presentment for transfer to the Registrar of this Note Certificate, the Company and the Registrar may treat the Holder in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, including determination of the outstanding principal amount, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company nor any such Registrar will be affected by notice to the contrary. This Note may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of (i) a duly filled in and executed Note transfer request in the form attached as Exhibit D (a “Transfer Notice”) to assign or sell all or part of this Note (or a specific part of this Note subject to the Holder’s right of conversion with respect to a specified Conversion Period) by the Holder and this Note Certificate and (ii) delivery of this Note Certificate (together with any necessary endorsements) to the Registrar at the place where the Register is kept on any Business Day together with the delivery of any other document(s) required by this Note, the Registrar will record the information contained therein in the Register and the Registrar will issue or cause to be issued one or more new Note Certificates in the same aggregate principal amount as the outstanding principal amount of the surrendered Note Certificate to the designated assignee or transferee.

8.3. Lost or Mutilated Note. If this Note Certificate is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Registrar will execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Note Certificate, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed Note Certificate, a new Note Certificate for the outstanding principal amount of the Note so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Note Certificate, and of the ownership hereof, reasonably satisfactory to the Company and Registrar, including such indemnity or opinion of legal counsel of good repute as the Company and Registrar may require.

8.4. Cancellation. After all amounts at any time owing on this Note have been paid in full or upon the conversion of this Note in full pursuant to Article 3, this Note Certificate will be surrendered to the Registrar for cancellation and will not be reissued.

ARTICLE 9
REDEMPTION

9.1. Redemption Right. On any day prior to (and including) June 30, 2025, the Company shall have the right at the Company’s option to redeem all or any portion of the Note at a price equal to 80% of the principal amount of all or such portion of the Note to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption. On any day after (and excluding) June 30, 2025, the Company shall have the right at the Company’s option to redeem all or any portion of the Note at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of all or such portion of the Note to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption (collectively, the “Redemption Right”). To exercise such Redemption Right, the Company shall deliver a redemption notice to the Holder not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of redemption in accordance with Section 10.3. Upon exercise of the Redemption Right, payment of the applicable redemption amount will be conditional upon delivery of this Note Certificate (together with any necessary endorsements) to the Registrar at the place where the Register is kept on any Business Day together with the delivery of any other document(s) required by this Note, and will be made on the first Business Day immediately following the later of (i) three (3) Business Days following the delivery of the redemption notice and (ii) the time of delivery of this Note Certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be entitled to effect the Redemption Right in respect of such portion of the Note for which the Holder has delivered to the Company a Conversion Notice in accordance with Section 3.5 prior to the date of the Company’s redemption notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s exercise of the Redemption Right shall not suspend or otherwise affect the Holder’s Conversion Right subject to the provisions of Section 9.2.

9.2. Prepayment Right. On any day during the twenty (20) day period prior to the commencement of each Conversion Period, the Company shall have the right at the Company’s option to redeem a portion of the Note in a principal amount equal to the Prepayment Amount by paying an amount equal to 100% of the sum of the applicable Prepayment Amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of prepayment (the “Prepayment Right”). To exercise such Prepayment Right, the Company shall deliver a prepayment notice to the Holder not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of prepayment in accordance with Section 10.3. Upon exercise of the Prepayment Right, payment of the applicable Prepayment Amount will be conditional upon delivery of this Note Certificate (together with any necessary endorsements) to the Registrar at the place where the Register is kept on any Business Day together with the delivery of any other document(s) required by this Note, and will be made on a day prior to the relevant Conversion Period. Upon the Company’s exercise of the Prepayment Right and making of the required payment prior to the relevant Conversion Period, the Holder’s Conversion Right will be cancelled for that Conversion Period. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder’s Conversion Right with respect to the Quarterly Conversion Cap in the next Conversion Period will be resumed starting from the next Conversion Period but will be again subject to this Section 9.2.

9.3. Future Equity Financing. In the event that the Company consummates an equity financing with a bona fide third party investor or in the public market (excluding debt financing whether or not with an equity component) prior to the Maturity Date, the Company shall apply 20% of its net proceeds from such equity financing to redeem a portion of the Note pursuant to Section 9.1.

If, upon the Maturity Date of this Note, this Note has not been redeemed or converted (or at the Company’s election, settled by paying the Cash Alternative Amount or the Cash Settlement Amount) in full and the outstanding principal amount of this Note has not been paid in full, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon a solution to the remaining outstanding balance of the Note.

10.7. Interpretation.

Section 9.2             Indemnification.

(a)            Indemnification by the Seller. From and after the Closing, the Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Group Companies from and after the Closing) and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) from and against all Liabilities, losses, damages, deficiencies, diminution in value, claims, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the investigation or defense of any of the same or in responding to or cooperating with any governmental investigation), interest, awards, judgments, fines and penalties suffered or incurred by the Purchaser Indemnitees (in each case, whether absolute, accrued, conditional or otherwise and whether or not resulting from Third Party Claims) (hereinafter “Losses”) arising out of or relating to:

(i)            any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Article III and Article IV;

(ii)           any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or obligation to be performed by any Warrantor under this Agreement;

(iii)          any Tax obligations of the Purchaser, its Affiliates or the Group Companies arising from the failure of the Seller to comply with its obligations under Section 6.7;

(v)           any Tax obligations of the Group Companies for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and the portion of any Straddle Period through the end of the Closing Date;

(vi)          any payments required to be made after the Closing Date under any Tax sharing, Tax indemnity, Tax allocation or similar Contracts to which any Group Company was obligated, or was a party, on or prior to the Closing Date; and

(vii)         any Liability incurred by any Group Company arising in respect of, by reference to or in consequence of its non-compliance with any applicable Law, failure to obtain or complete required approvals, licenses, filings and registrations (including any amendment thereto) on or prior to the Closing Date.

The indemnity obligation of the Seller towards any Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to Items (iv) through (vii) above shall not be affected or prejudiced by the fact that such matter may be disclosed to the Purchaser in the Disclosure Schedule or otherwise.

(b)            Procedures Relating to Indemnification.

(i)            Any Party seeking indemnification under this Section 9.2 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly give the Party from whom indemnification is being sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) notice of any matter which such Indemnified Party has determined has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement stating in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Section 9.2 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. With respect to any recovery or indemnification sought by an Indemnified Party from the Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, if the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days from its receipt of the notice from the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed with such claim. If the Indemnifying Party has disputed a claim for indemnification (including any Third Party Claim), the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution to such dispute. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party cannot resolve such dispute in thirty (30) days after delivery of the dispute notice by the Indemnifying Party, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 10.3.

(ii)           If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Legal Proceeding, audit, demand or assessment (each, a “Third Party Claim”) against it or which may give rise to a claim for Loss under this Section 9.2, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Section 9.2 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within five (5) days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the judgment of the Indemnified Party in its sole and absolute discretion for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. No such Third Party Claim may be settled by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

(c)            Right of Set-Off. On notice to the Seller specifying in reasonable detail the basis therefore, the Purchaser may set off any amount to which it may be entitled under this Section 9.2 against amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement by the Purchaser in favour of the Seller as part of the Total Consideration. The exercise of such right of set-off by the Purchaser in good faith, whether or not ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute an event of default under this Agreement. Neither the exercise of nor the failure to exercise such right of set-off will constitute an election of remedies or limit the Purchaser in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it.

(d)            No Double Dip. As a general principle to this Agreement, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover more than once in respect of the same Loss suffered, in particular in case of a breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties. The Purchaser may claim such breach only once even though the facts may constitute two (2) or more breaches of the Seller’s representations and warranties.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of its legal counsel, accountants and other representatives or consultants) incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (the “Transaction Expenses”), provided that the Transaction Expenses incurred by the Purchaser will be borne by the Company upon the occurrence of the Closing.

Section 10.2           Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule thereof.

Section 10.3           Arbitration.

(a)            Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in Hong Kong in accordance with the Hong Kong International Arbitration Center Administered Arbitration Rules (the “HKIAC Rules”) in force when the notice of arbitration is submitted in accordance with the HKIAC Rules. The HKIAC Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference to this clause. The tribunal shall be comprised of three (3) arbitrators. The Purchaser and the Seller shall each nominate one arbitrator and the third, who shall serve as president of the tribunal, shall be nominated by the first two arbitrators. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally consents to such arbitration as the sole and exclusive method of resolving any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, other than any proceedings to seek the remedies of specific performance as contemplated by Section 10.7.

(b)            The award of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding on the Parties. The Parties agree that they will not have recourse to any judicial proceedings, in any jurisdiction whatsoever, for the purpose of seeking appeal, annulment, setting aside, modification or any diminution or impairment of its terms or effect insofar as such exclusion can validly be made. Judgment upon any award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, or application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of the award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be.

Section 10.6           Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party hereto, upon any breach or default of any other party hereto under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or of an acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall it be construed to be any waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party hereto of any breach or default under this Agreement or any waiver on the part of any party hereto of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party hereto, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

Section 10.7           Specific Performance and Remedies. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that, prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, each Party shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof.
