	3.	 DURATION AND ADMINISTRATION 



 

	 	(A)	 Subject to paragraph 15, this Plan shall be valid and effective for the period of ten (10) years
commencing on the Adoption Date after which period no further Options will be granted, but the provisions of this Plan shall in all other respects remain in full force and effect and the Grantees may exercise the Options in accordance with the terms
upon which the Options are granted. 


  

	 	(B)	 This Plan shall be subject to the administration of the Board and the decision of the Board shall be final and
binding on all parties. The Board shall have the right (i) to interpret and construe the provisions of the Plan, (ii) to determine the persons who will be awarded Options under the Plan, the number and Subscription Price and other terms
(e.g., any performance conditions upon which the exercise of an Option is conditioned) of Options awarded thereto, (iii) to make such appropriate and equitable adjustments to the terms of Options granted under the Plan as it deems necessary,

delegation. Any delegation of administrative powers will be reflected in written resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, adopted from time to time by the Board or Committee (as applicable). The Board may retain the authority

 6

herself. Any such Options will be granted on substantially the form of Offer Letter most recently approved for use by the Board, unless otherwise provided in the resolutions approving the delegation authority. The Board may not delegate authority to

as the Board may in its absolute discretion select to take up Options in respect of such number of Shares as the Board may determine at the Subscription Price. Options may be granted on such terms and conditions in relation to their vesting,
exercise or otherwise (e.g. by linking their exercise to the attainment or performance of milestones by the Company, any Subsidiary, the Grantee or any group of Employees) as the Board may determine, provided such terms and conditions shall not be
inconsistent with any other terms and conditions of this Plan. 


  

	 	(B)	 An Offer Letter shall be made to an Eligible Employee in such form as the Board may from time to time determine
requiring the Eligible Employee to undertake to hold the Option on the terms on which it is to be granted and to be bound by the provisions of this Plan.

 7 














	5.	 SUBSCRIPTION PRICE AND VESTING SCHEDULE 



(A)    The Subscription Price shall be approved by the Board and shall be set out in the Offer Letter. 

(B)    Unless otherwise approved by the Board and set forth in an Offer Letter, the Vesting Schedule shall be a three-year
vesting schedule consisting of a cliff vesting of fifty percent (50%) on the second (2nd) anniversary of the applicable Vesting Commencement Date and, a vesting of the remaining fifty percent
(50%) on the third (3rd) anniversary of the applicable Vesting Commencement Date. 
  

	6.	 EXERCISE OF OPTIONS 



 

	 	(A)	 Unless otherwise approved by the Board, an Option shall be personal to the Grantee and shall not be assignable
and no Grantee shall in any way sell, transfer, charge, mortgage, encumber or create any interest (legal or beneficial) in favour of any third party over or in relation to any Option or attempt so to do, except pursuant to paragraph 10 hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the Grantee ceasing to be an Employee by reason of his/her death, disability or for any other reason that the Board considers valid, before exercising the Option in full, the Grantee’s vested
Option may be assigned to its representative (to the extent not already exercised). The executor or administrator of a deceased member, the guardian of an incompetent Grantee shall be the only person recognized by the Company as the representative
to be assigned with the Option. The production to the Company of any document which is evidence of probate of the will, or letters of administration of the estate, or confirmation as executor, of a deceased member or of the appointment of a guardian
of an incompetent Grantee may be accepted by the Company even if the deceased, or incompetent is domiciled outside the Cayman Islands if the document evidencing the grant of probate or letters of administration, confirmation as executor is issued by
a foreign court or other competent authorities which had competent jurisdiction in the matter. Any permitted assignment of options shall only be made in a manner that is not prohibited by applicable tax and securities laws. 



 

	 	(B)	 Except otherwise approved by the Board, an Option, to the extent then vested, shall become exercisable only
upon the earlier of (i) a Listing, and (ii) occurrence of a Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exercise shall be conditioned upon compliance in full with all applicable laws, regulations and exchange rules such Grantee
or the Company is then subject to in connection with the exercise of the Options, including without limitation, in the case of a Grantee being a national or a resident of the PRC, PRC foreign exchange regulations and rules (e.g., Notice on Relevant
Matters regarding Onshore Individuals’ Participation in Share Incentive Plan of Offshore Listed Companies issued by the State Administration for Foreign Exchange of the PRC (as amended from time to time) effective as of February 15, 2012,
or, Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Relevant Issues concerning Foreign Exchange Administration of Offshore Investment and Financing and Inbound Investment through Special Purpose Companies by PRC Residents effective as of
July 4, 2014 (as amended from time to time), as applicable). The Board may provide that an Option shall only become exercisable following any approval deemed necessary from the State Administration for Foreign Exchange of the PRC, or other
regulatory entity. 



  
 8 














	 	(C)	 An Option may be exercised in whole or in part in the manner as set out in paragraph 6(D) or 6(E) (as the case
may be) by the Grantee (or his or her personal representatives) giving notice in writing to the Company in the form of the notice attached hereto as Schedule I, or such other form as may be adopted by the Board from time to time, stating that
the Option is thereby exercised and the number of Shares in respect of which it is exercised. In addition, a Grantee may be required to enter into a voting trust agreement or power of attorney in favour of ZANG, Jingwu Zhang in his capacity as a
founder of the Group, or shareholders’ agreement, as a condition to exercise of the Option. 


  

	 	(D)	 Each notice of exercise of an Option must be accompanied by a remittance for the aggregate amount of the
Subscription Price multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which the notice is given. Within 30 days after receipt of the notice and remittance and, where appropriate, receipt of the Auditors’ certificate pursuant to paragraph 9, the
Company shall allot and issue or procure the allotment and issue of the relevant Option Shares to the Grantee (or his or her personal representative) credited as fully paid 



 

	 	(E)	 Notwithstanding paragraph 6(D), after a Listing and subject to Company’s appointment of an appropriate
administrator of the Plan, a Grantee may request by a notice of exercise to the Company to direct and procure the administrator of the Plan to exercise an Option (to the extent exercisable by the Grantee) and sell the relevant Shares, and pay the
Grantee in cash an amount equal to the Exercise Net Proceeds in connection with such sale of Shares. It shall be a condition of the exercise of an Option under this paragraph 6(E) that the net proceeds of sale of the relevant Shares (as referred to
in the definition of “Exercise Net Proceeds”) shall exceed the Subscription Price of such Shares. The Grantee shall provide the Company with such information in relation to the method of making payment as the Company may require, and the
making of such payment in accordance with such information shall operate as a complete and absolute discharge of the Company’s obligations in respect of a Grantee’s exercise of Option pursuant to this paragraph 6(E). If so requested by the
Company, a Grantee shall deliver a duly executed receipt of payment contemporaneously with the making of such payment. 


  

	 	(F)	 Subject to paragraph 10, Option Shares will be subject to the provisions of the Memorandum and Articles of the
Company for the time being in force and will rank pari passu with the fully paid Shares in issue as from the date of exercise of the Option and in particular will entitle the holders to participate in all dividends or other distributions paid or
made on or after the date of exercise of the Option other than any dividend or other distribution previously declared or recommended or resolved to be paid or made if the record date therefor is before the date of exercise of the Option, provided
always that when the date of exercise of the Option falls on a date upon which the register of members of the Company is closed then the exercise of the Option shall become effective on the first business day on which the register of members of the
Company is re-opened. 



  
 9 














	 	(G)	 Prior to the expiry of the Option Period, any cancellation of Options granted but not exercised shall require
the approval of the Board and the Grantee in question. Cancelled Options may be re-issued after such cancellation has been approved, provided that re-issued Options
shall only be granted in compliance with the terms of this Plan and applicable law. 


  

	7.	 LAPSE OF OPTION 



 

	 	(A)	 General. An Option shall lapse automatically (to the extent not already exercised) on the earliest of:



  

	 	(i)	 the expiry of the Option Period; 



 

	 	(ii)	 two (2) years after the date when the Option becomes exercisable as set for in paragraph 6(B), if not
exercised; 


  

	 	(iii)	 the date when any circumstance in violation of paragraph 6(A) occurs; or 



 

	 	(iv)	 subject to paragraph 7(B) to (F), on an Grantee ceasing to be an Eligible Employee. 



 

	 	(B)	 Lapse for Death or Illness. Subject to paragraph 7(C), if an Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Employee
by reason of: 


  

	 	(i)	 the Grantee’s death; or 



 

	 	(ii)	 the Grantee’s serious illness or injury which, in the opinion of the Board, renders the Grantee concerned
unfit to perform the duties of his or her Employment and which in the normal course would render the Grantee unfit to continue performing the duties under his or her Contract provided such illness or injury is not self-inflicted or as a result of
alcohol or drug abuse; 


 then, subject to the paragraph 6(B), any unvested Option will immediately lapse and the Grantee
or his or her personal representatives (if appropriate) may exercise all his or her vested Options until the later of: (i) 90 days after the date when the Options become exercisable as set for in paragraph 6(B), or (ii) six (6) months after the
date of cessation of Employment or directorship, or such longer period as the Board may determine. Any vested Option not exercised prior to the expiry of the above-mentioned period shall lapse. 

 

	 	(C)	 Lapse on Termination for Cause. If the Board determines that any Grantee ceasing to be an Employee by
any of the following reason, (i) any act of grave misconduct or willful default or willful neglect in the discharge of duties of the Grantee with the Group; (ii) without prejudice to the generality of (i) above, being proven to have
carried out any fraudulent activity or have fraudulently failed to carry out any activity whether or not in connection with the affairs of the Group; (iii) being convicted of any offence; (iv) being proved to take advantages of such
Grantee’s position to make interest for him/herself or for others; (v) being proved to appropriate assets of the Group; (vi) serious violation or persistent breach of any terms of the employment agreement, the confidentiality and
intellectual property rights assignment agreement, the non-compete and non-solicitation agreement, the anti-bribery agreement or any other agreements entered into by and
between such Grantee and any member of the Group; (vii) repeated drunkenness or use of illegal drugs or being addicted to gambling which adversely interferes with or is reasonably expected to adversely interfere with the performance of such
Grantee’s obligations and duties of employment; and (viii) any other conduct which, as the Board determines in good faith, would justify the termination of his or her Contract, then any Option (whether vested or unvested) held by the
Grantee shall immediately lapse (unless the Board resolves otherwise in its absolute discretion). 



  
 10 














	 	(D)	 Lapse on Cessation for Other Reason. If an Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Employee for any reason
other than those set up in paragraph 7(B) or 7(C), then, subject to paragraph 6(B), any unvested Option will immediately lapse and the Grantee or his or her personal representatives (if appropriate) may exercise all his or her vested Options until
later of: (i) 90 days after the date when the Options become exercisable as set for in paragraph 6(B), or (ii) 30 days after the date of cessation of Employment or directorship, or such longer period as the Board may otherwise determine. Any vested
Option not exercised prior to the expiry of the above-mentioned period shall immediately lapse. 


  

	 	(E)	 Lapse on a General Offer or Corporate Transaction. An unexercised Option may lapse as provided in
paragraphs 9(B) or 9(C) hereof in the case of a General Offer or a Corporate Transaction. 


  

	 	(F)	 Lapse on Winding-up. If notice is duly given of a resolution for
the voluntary winding-up of the Company, vested Options may, subject to paragraph 6(B), be exercised prior to the date of the resolution. The Grantee shall accordingly be entitled, in respect of the Shares
falling to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of his or her Option, to participate in the distribution of the assets of the Company available in liquidation pari passu with the holders of the Shares in issue on the day prior to the date of
such resolutions. 


  

	8.	 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES SUBJECT TO OPTIONS 



 

	 	(A)	 The maximum number of Shares in respect of which Options may be granted under this Plan shall not, subject to
paragraph 9, exceed 13,376,865 Shares in the aggregate. 


  

	 	(B)	 Unless otherwise approved by the Board, no Employee shall be granted an Option which, if exercised in full,
would result in such Employee becoming entitled to subscribe for such number of Shares as, when aggregated with the total number of Shares already issued under all the Options previously granted to him which have been exercised, and, issuable under
all the Options previously granted to him which are for the time being subsisting and unexercised, would exceed ten percent (10%) of the aggregate number of Shares for the time being issued and issuable under this Plan. 



  
 11 














	 	(C)	 The maximum number of Shares referred to in paragraphs 8(A) and 8(B) will be adjusted, in such manner as an
independent financial adviser or the Auditors (acting as experts and not as arbitrators) shall confirm to the Board in writing in the terms set out in paragraph 9 below or otherwise as the Board deems appropriate, in the event of any alteration in
the capital structure of the Company whether by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves, rights issue, consolidation, sub-division or reduction of the share capital of the Company or otherwise howsoever.



  

	 	(D)	 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shares that are subject to or underlie Options granted under this Plan that
expire or for any reason are cancelled or terminated without having been exercised (or Shares subject to or underlying the unexercised portion of such Options in the case of Options that were partially exercised), or Option Shares or Options
repurchased by the Company pursuant to paragraph 10, to the extent cancelled by the Company after such repurchase, will again, except to the extent prohibited by law or applicable listing or regulatory requirements, be available for subsequent
Options grants under this Plan. 


  

	9.	 REORGANISATION OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS 



 

	 	(A)	 Reorganisation of Capital Structure. In the event of any alteration in the capital structure of the
Company whilst any Option remains exercisable, whether by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves, rights issue, consolidation, sub-division, or reduction of the share capital of the Company or otherwise
howsoever in accordance with legal requirements, other than any alteration in the capital structure of the Company as a result of an issue of Shares as consideration in a transaction to which the Company is a party or an issue of shares pursuant to,
or in connection with, any share option plan, share appreciation rights plan or any arrangement for remunerating or incentivising any employee, consultant or adviser to the Company or any Subsidiary or in the event of any distribution of the
Company’s capital assets to its shareholders on a pro rata basis (whether in cash or in specie) other than dividends paid out of the net profits attributable to its shareholders for each financial year of the Company, such corresponding
alterations (if any) shall be made to: 


  

	 	(i)	 the number or nominal amount of Shares subject to the Option so far as unexercised; 



 

	 	(ii)	 the Subscription Price; 



or any combination thereof, as an independent financial adviser or the Auditors shall confirm to the Board in writing, either generally or as
regard any particular Grantee, to have given a participant the same proportion (or rights in respect of the same proportion) of the equity capital as that to which that person was previously entitled, but that no such adjustments be made to the
extent that a share would be issued at less than its nominal value. The capacity of the independent financial adviser or Auditors (as the case may be) in this paragraph is that of experts and not of arbitrators and their confirmation shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be final and binding on the Company and the Grantees. The costs of the independent financial adviser or Auditors (as the case may be) shall be borne by the Company. 

  
 12 














	 	(B)	 General Offer. If a general or partial offer, whether by way of take-over offer, share repurchase offer,
or scheme of arrangement or otherwise in like manner is made to all shareholders of the Company (or all such shareholders other than the offeror and/or any person controlled by the offeror and /or any person associated with or acting in connect with
the offeror) (a “General Offer”), the Company shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure that such offer is extended to all the Grantees on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, and assuming that they will become, by the exercise in
full of the Options granted to them which at the time vested, shareholders of the Company. If such offer becomes or is declared unconditional or such scheme or arrangements is formally proposed to shareholders of the Company, the Grantee shall,
notwithstanding any other terms on which his or her Options were granted (provided that any performance condition must first be satisfied), be entitled to exercise his or her vested Options at any time up until (i) the close of such offer (or
any revised offer); or (ii) the record date for entitlements under a scheme of arrangement, as applicable, and any unexercised Options will immediately lapse on the close of business on such date. 



 

	 	(C)	 Corporate Transaction. The following provisions will apply to Options in the event of a Corporate
Transaction (including a Change in Control) unless otherwise provided in the Option Letter or any other written agreement between the Company or any Grantee or unless otherwise expressly provided by the Board at the time of grant of an Option. In
the event of a Corporate Transaction, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Board may take one or more of the following actions with respect to Options, contingent upon the closing or completion of the Corporate Transaction:



  

	 	(i)	 arrange for the surviving entity or acquiring company (or the surviving or acquiring company’s parent
company) to assume or continue the Option or to substitute a similar award for the Option (including, but not limited to, an option to acquire the same consideration paid to the shareholders of the Company pursuant to the Corporate Transaction);



  

	 	(ii)	 accelerate the vesting, in whole or in part, of the Option (and, if applicable, the time at which the Option
may be exercised) to a date prior to the effective time of such Corporate Transaction as the Board determines (or, if the Board does not determine such a date, to the date that is five (5) days prior to the effective date of the Corporate
Transaction), with such Option terminating if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction; provided, however, that the Board may require Grantees to complete and deliver to the Company a notice of
exercise before the effective date of a Corporate Transaction, which exercise is contingent upon the effectiveness of such Corporate Transaction; 



  
 13 














	 	(iii)	 cancel or arrange for the cancellation of the Option, to the extent not vested prior to the effective time of
the Corporate Transaction, and pay such cash consideration (or no consideration) as the Board, in its sole discretion, may consider appropriate; and 


  

	 	(iv)	 make a payment for each vested Option, in such form as may be determined by the Board equal to the excess, if
any, of (x) the per share amount payable to holders of Shares in connection with the Corporate Transaction, over (y) any exercise price payable by such holder in connection with such exercise, multiplied by the number of vested Shares
under the Option. This payment may be $0 if the per share amount payable in respect of a Share in the Corporate Transaction is equal to or less than the Subscription Price. In addition, any escrow, holdback, earnout or similar provisions in the
definitive agreement for the Corporate Transaction may apply to such payment to the same extent and in the same manner as such provisions apply to the holders of Shares. 



The Board need not take the same action or actions with respect to all Options or portions thereof or with respect to all Grantees in a
Corporate Transaction. The Board may take different actions with respect to the vested and unvested portions of an Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Corporate Transaction is conducted for the purpose of Listing on a Stock
Exchange in the PRC, the Company shall arrange for the PRC listing entity to assume or continue the Options or to substitute a similar award for the Options.  
  

	 	(D)	 Accelerated Vesting on a Change in Control. The Board may provide that an Option may be subject to
additional acceleration of vesting upon or after a Change in Control or as may be provided in any other written agreement between the Company and the Grantee, but in the absence of such provision, no such acceleration will occur.



  

	 	(E)	 Effectiveness of this paragraph 9. This paragraph 9 shall terminate in its entirety upon a Listing.



  

	10	 RIGHT OF REPURCHASE OF SHARES OR OPTIONS 



 

	 	(A)	 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, unless otherwise approved by the Board and set forth in
an Offer Letter, prior to a Listing, after a Grantee’s termination of employment by or services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any Option Share issued by the Company as a result of the exercise of an Option of such Grantee or any
vested Option held by such Grantee (collectively, “Pre-Listing Option Interests”) shall be subject to a right, but not an obligation, of repurchase by the Company and/or its assignee(s) (the
“Right of Repurchase”), at the price as set forth in the Offer Letter (the “Repurchase Price”). 



  
 14 














	 	(B)	 If the Company wishes to exercise its Right of Repurchase, it shall give notice thereof to the Grantee, and the
Grantee shall immediately endorse and deliver to the Company the share certificate(s) representing the Option Shares being repurchased (if applicable) and take all such actions and do all such things as necessary for effecting the Right of
Repurchase, and the Company shall then promptly pay, pursuant to the provisions of clause 10(C) below, the total Repurchase Price to the Grantee. If the Company exercises its Right of Repurchase, it may exercise its right with respect to all or part
of the Pre-Listing Option Interests. 


  

	 	(C)	 The Repurchase Price shall be paid first by cancellation of any obligation for accrued but unpaid interest
outstanding under notes issued by the Grantee upon purchase of the Option Shares (if any), next by cancellation of principal outstanding under such notes (if any), and finally by payment in cash of the balance due. 



 

	 	(D)	 The Right of Repurchase shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) a Listing; or (ii) such
other event and/or conditions as the Board may determine in its sole discretion. 


  

	11.	 SHARE CAPITAL 



The exercise of any Option shall be subject to the members of the Company in general meeting approving any necessary increase in the authorised
share capital of the Company. Subject thereto, the Board shall make available sufficient authorised but unissued share capital of the Company to meet subsisting requirements on the exercise of Options. 

 

	12.	 DISPUTES 



Any dispute arising in connection with this Plan (whether as to the number of Shares which are the subject of an Option, the amount of the
Subscription Price or otherwise) shall be referred to the decision of the Auditors, who shall act as experts and not as arbitrators and whose decision shall be final and binding upon all persons affected thereby. 

 

	13.	 ALTERATION OF THIS PLAN 



This Plan may be altered in any respect by the prior approval of the Board, provided that no such alteration shall operate to affect adversely
the terms of issue of any Option granted or agreed to be granted prior to such alteration, except with the consent or sanction of such majority of the Grantees as would be required of the shareholders of the Company under the Memorandum and Articles
for the time being of the Company for a variation of the rights attached to the Shares. 

  
 15 














	14.	 TAX LIABILITY 



The Grantee shall be solely liable to pay all taxes and other levies which may be assessed or assessable on any payments made by the Company
hereunder and all payments required to be made hereunder by the Company shall be subject to the deduction or withholding of such amounts as the Board may reasonably determine is necessary or desirable by reason of any liability to tax or obligation
to account for tax or loss of any relief from tax which may fall on the Company or any Subsidiary in respect of, or by reason of such payment or the exercise of an Option, and the Grantee agrees to indemnify and keep the Company (for itself and as
trustee for its subsidiaries) indemnified in respect of any such liability, obligation or loss and accepts that any claim in respect of such indemnity may be satisfied by set-off against any sums due from the
Company or any Subsidiary to such Grantee from time to time. In the event that any tax liability becomes due on the exercise of an Option for which the Company is required to account to, the Option may not be exercised unless the Grantee has made a
payment to the Company an amount equal to such tax liability. 
  

	15.	 TERMINATION 



The Board may at any time terminate the operation of this Plan and in such event no further Options will be offered but in all other respects
the provisions of this Plan shall remain in full force and effect. 
  

	16.	 MISCELLANEOUS 



 

	 	(A)	 This Plan shall not form part of any contract of employment between the Company or any Subsidiary and any
Eligible Employee or Grantee, and the rights and obligations of any Eligible Employee or Grantee under the terms of his or her office or employment shall not be affected by his or her participation in this Plan or any right which he or she may have
to participate in it and this Plan shall afford such Eligible Employee or Grantee no additional rights to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of such office or employment for any reason. 



 

	 	(B)	 This Plan shall not confer on any person any legal or equitable right (other than those rights constituting the
Options themselves) against the Company directly or indirectly or give rise to any cause of action at law or in equity against the Company. 


  

	 	(C)	 The Company shall bear the costs of establishing and administering this Plan. 



 

	 	(D)	 Any notice or other communication between the Company and a Grantee may be given by sending the same by prepaid
post or by personal delivery to, in the case of the Company, its principal place of business or such other address as notified to the Grantee from time to time and, in the case of the Grantee, his or her address as notified to the Company from time
to time or as indicated in his or her identity certificate provided by him or her to the Company or its Subsidiaries. 


  

	 	(E)	 Any notice or other communication served by post: 



 

	 	(i)	 by the Company shall be deemed to have been served 24 hours after the same was put in the post; and




  
 16 














	 	(ii)	 by the Grantee shall not be deemed to have been received until the same shall have been received by the
Company. 


  

	 	(F)	 All allotments and issues of Shares will be subject to all necessary consents under any relevant legislation
for the time being in force in the Cayman Islands and a Grantee shall be responsible for obtaining any governmental or other official consent or approval that may be required by any country or jurisdiction in order to permit the grant or exercise of
the Option. The Company shall not be responsible for any failure by a Grantee to obtain any such consent or approval or for any tax or other liability to which a Grantee may become subject as a result of his or her participation in this Plan.



  

	 	(G)	 This Plan and all Options granted hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
Hong Kong. 


  

	 	(H)	 The Company and the Grantees shall agree and acknowledge that the information of this Plan and the Offer Letter
shall, to the extent required by the applicable securities and other laws, be disclosed to meet the requirements of such applicable securities and other laws governing such disclosures.

 I-MAB天境生物 
 2017 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN 

ADDENDUM FOR U.S. GRANTEES 
  

	1.	 Purpose and Applicability 



(a)    This Addendum for U.S. Grantees (the “U.S. Addendum”) applies to Grantees of the I-Mab天境生物 2017 Stock Option Plan (as amended, the
“Plan”) who are either U.S. residents or U.S. taxpayers (each such Grantee, a “U.S. Grantee”). The purpose of the U.S. Addendum is to facilitate compliance with U.S. tax, securities and other applicable laws, and to
permit the Company to issue tax-qualified Incentive Stock Options (as defined below) to eligible U.S. Grantees. 

(b)    Except as otherwise provided by the U.S. Addendum, all Options granted to U.S. Grantees will be governed by the
terms of the Plan, when read together with the U.S. Addendum. In any case of an irreconcilable contradiction (as determined by the Board) between the provisions of the U.S. Addendum and the Plan, the provisions of the U.S. Addendum will govern.
Capitalized terms contained herein have the same meanings given to them in the Plan, unless otherwise provided by the U.S. Addendum. 

(c)    This Addendum is effective as of Oct. 1st, 2017 (the
“Effective Date”). 
  

	2.	 Definitions 



In the U.S. Addendum, the following words will have the meaning as defined below: 

“Code” means the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 

“Incentive Stock Option” or “ISO” means an Option that is intended to be, and qualifies as, an incentive stock option within
the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. 
 “Majority-Owned Subsidiary” means, with respect to the Company, (i) any corporation of
which more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding capital stock having ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors of such corporation (irrespective of whether, at the time, stock of any other class or classes
of such corporation will have or might have voting power by reason of the happening of any contingency) is at the time, directly or indirectly, owned by the Company, and (ii) any partnership, limited liability company or other entity in which
the Company has a direct or indirect interest (whether in the form of voting or participation in profits or capital contribution) of more than fifty percent (50%). 

“Nonstatutory Stock Option” or “NSO” means an Option that does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option. 

“Parent” means a corporation, whether now or hereafter existing, in an unbroken chain of corporations ending with the Company, if each
corporation other than the Company owns shares possessing 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares in one of the other corporations in such chain, as provided in the definition of a “parent corporation”
contained in Section 424(e) of the Code. 












 “Securities Act” means the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 

“Ten Percent Shareholder” means person who owns (or is deemed to own pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of outstanding securities of the Company or any Parent or Majority-Owned Subsidiary. 
 “U.S.” means
the United States of America. 
  

	2.	 Additional Terms Applicable to All Options Granted to U.S. Grantees. 



(a)    Minimum Subscription Price. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4(e) below regarding Grantees who are Ten
Percent Shareholders, the Subscription Price of each Option will be not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Stock on the date the Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may be granted with a Subscription Price lower
than 100% of the fair market value of the Shares if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption of or substitution for another option pursuant to a Corporate Transaction and in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 409A of the
Code and, if applicable, Section 424(a) of the Code. 
 (b)    Grants to Consultants. An Eligible Employee
that is a consultant, contractor or advisor and that is a resident of the U.S. is not an Eligible Employee for the grant of an Option if, at the time of grant, either the offer or sale of the Option to such person is not exempt under Rule 701 of the
Securities Act because the consultant is not a natural person, the services that the consultant is providing to the Company are in connection with a capital raising transaction or directly or indirectly serve to promote or maintain a market for the
Company’s securities, or because of any other provision of Rule 701 of the Securities Act, unless the Company determines that such grant need not comply with the requirements of Rule 701 of the Securities Act and will satisfy another
exemption under the Securities Act as well as comply with the securities laws of the U.S. state of residence of the consultant and all other applicable jurisdictions. 

(c)    No Cash Settlement on Exercise of Options. The Board may not grant to any U.S. Grantee an Option where the
U.S. Grantee may receive a cash payment upon exercise of the Option in lieu of Shares if such Option would result in a violation of Section 457A of the Code. For clarity, this provision does not prohibit the Board for providing for the
cancellation of Options pursuant to paragraph 9(C) of the Plan in connection with a Corporate Transaction. 

(d)    Section 409A and Section 457A of the Code. Unless otherwise expressly provided for in an
Offer Letter, the terms applicable to Options granted under the U.S. Addendum will be interpreted to the greatest extent possible in a manner that makes the Options exempt from Section 409A and Section 457A of the Code, and, to the extent
not so exempt, that brings the Options into compliance with Section 409A and Section 457A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan (and unless the Offer Letter or other written contract with the U.S. Grantee
specifically provides otherwise), if the Shares are publicly traded, and if a U.S. Grantee of an Option that constitutes “deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code is a “specified employee” under
Section 409A of the Code, no distribution or payment of any amount that is due because of a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code without regard to alternative definitions thereunder) will be issued or
paid before the date that is six months following the date of such U.S. Grantee’s “separation from service” or, if earlier, the date of the U.S. Grantee’s death, unless such distribution or payment can be made in a manner that
complies with Section 409A of the Code, and any amounts so deferred will be paid in a lump sum on the day after such six month period elapses, with the balance paid thereafter on the original schedule. 

  
 19 














	3.	 Provisions Applicable to Incentive Stock Options 



(a)    Eligible Recipients of ISOs. As provided in Section 422(a)(2) of the Code, Incentive Stock Options may
be granted only to employees of the Company, a Parent or a Majority-Owned Subsidiary. Consultants, advisors and non-employee directors are not eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options. 

(b)    Designation of ISO Status. The Board action approving the grant of an Option to a U.S. Grantee and the Offer
Letter must specify that such Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option. If an Option is not specifically designated as an Incentive Stock Option, or if an Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option but some portion or all of the
Option fails to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under the applicable rules, then the Option (or portion thereof) will be a Nonstatutory Stock Option. 

(c)    Maximum Shares Issuable On Exercise of ISOs. Subject to the adjustment pursuant to the provisions of
paragraphs 8(C) of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be subject to Options that are designated as Incentive Stock Options is 15,000,000 Shares. 

(d)    No Transfer. As provided by Section 422(b)(5) of the Code, an Incentive Stock Option may not be
transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the U.S. Grantee only by the U.S. Grantee. If the Board elects to allow the transfer of an Option that is designated as an
Incentive Stock Option, such transferred Option will automatically become a Nonstatutory Stock Option as of the date of transfer. 

(e)    Additional Limits for Ten Percent Stockholders. As provided by Section 422(c)(5) of the Code, a person
is a Ten Percent Shareholder will not be eligible for the grant of an Incentive Stock Option unless (i) the exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market value of a Share on the date of grant and (ii) such Incentive Stock
Option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of grant. 

(f)    US $100,000 Limit. As provided by Section 422(d) of the Code and applicable regulations thereunder, to
the extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of grant) of Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any U.S. Grantee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company
and any Affiliates) exceeds US$100,000 (or such other limit established in the Code) or otherwise does not comply with the rules governing Incentive Stock Options, the Options or portions thereof that exceed such limit (according to the order in
which they were granted) or otherwise do not comply with such rules will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the applicable Offer Letter(s). 

(g)    Post-Termination Exercise Period. To obtain the U.S. federal income tax advantages associated with an
Incentive Stock Option, the U.S. Internal Revenue Code requires that at all times beginning on the date of grant and ending on the day three months before the date of exercise of the Option, the U.S. Grantee must be an employee of the Company or a
Parent or a Majority-Owned Subsidiary (except in the event of the Grantee’s death or disability, in which case longer periods may apply). Any Incentive Stock Option that provides for a post-termination exercise period in excess of three months
from the termination of the U.S. Grantee’s employment status will automatically be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Option following such three month period. 

  
 20 













 (h)    Leave of Absence. As provided by Section 422 of the
Code and applicable regulations thereunder, if a U.S. Grantee is on an approved leave of absence that exceeds three months (unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is required by statute or contract), then on the date six months following
the first day of such leave, any Incentive Stock Option held by a U.S. Grantee shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option. 

(i)    Loss of ISO Status Upon a Reorganisation or Repricing. In connection with the adjustment of Options in
connection with a reorganisation as provided in paragraph 9(A) of the Plan, or a repricing where the Subscription Price of such Options is higher than the the-current fair market value of the Shares, the Board
may provide for the adjustment of Options in a manner that results in the loss of Incentive Stock Option status without the consent of the U.S. Grantee, provided that such adjustment or repricing (i) complies with Section 409A of
the Code, and (ii) the loss of Incentive Stock Option status is the only adverse change to the Option. 
  

	4.	 Shareholder Approval of U.S. Addendum 



An Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the U.S. Addendum may not be exercised until such time as the Plan and the U.S. Addendum have been approved by at
least a majority of the Shareholders of the Company. 
  

	5.	 Term, Amendment and Termination 



(a)    The Board may amend, suspend or terminate this U.S. Addendum at any time. Unless terminated sooner by the Board, the
U.S. Addendum will terminate automatically upon the earlier of (i) 10 years after the Effective Date and (ii) the termination of the Plan. No Incentive Stock Options may be granted under the U.S. Addendum while either the Plan or the U.S.
Addendum is suspended or after the Plan or the U.S. Addendum is terminated. 
 (b)    If this U.S. Addendum is
terminated, the provisions of this U.S. Addendum and any administrative guidelines, and other rules adopted by the Board and in force at the time of suspension or termination of this U.S. Addendum, will continue to apply to any outstanding Options
as long as an Option issued pursuant to the U.S. Addendum remain outstanding. 
 (c)    No amendment, suspension or
termination of the U.S. Addendum may materially adversely affect any Options granted previously to any U.S. Grantee without the consent of the U.S. Grantee.
