In this Agreement, each of Party A, Party B and Party C shall be referred to as a “Party” respectively, and they shall be collectively referred to as the “Parties”.

 

Whereas:

 

1.                                      Party B is a shareholder of Party C and as of the date hereof holds 99.9923% of equity interests of Party C, representing RMB 104,000,000 in the registered capital of Party C.

 

2.                                      Party A, Party B and Party C have executed a Fourth Amended and Restated Exclusive Option Agreement on November 23, 2016 (the “Original Exclusive Option Agreement”). In order to further clarify the Parties’ rights and obligations, the Parties agree to amend certain provisions of the Original Exclusive Option Agreement by executing this Agreement, which shall supersede and replace the Original Exclusive Option Agreement upon the effective date of this Agreement.

 

Now therefore, upon mutual discussion and negotiation, the Parties have reached the following agreement:

 

1.                                      GRANTING OF EQUITY INTEREST PURCHASE OPTION AND ASSET PURCHASE OPTION

 

1.1                               Equity Interest Purchase Option

 

In consideration of the payment of RMB10 by Party A, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged by Party B, Party B hereby irrevocably grants Party A an irrevocable and exclusive right to purchase, or designate one or more persons (each, a “Designee”) to purchase the equity interests in Party C then held by Party B once or at multiple times at any time in part or in whole at Party A’s sole and absolute discretion to the extent permitted by Chinese laws and at the price described in Section 1.3 herein (such right being the “Equity Interest Purchase Option”).  Except for Party A and the Designee(s), no other person shall be entitled to the Equity Interest Purchase Option or other rights with respect to the equity interests of Party B.  Party C hereby agrees to the grant by Party B of the Equity Interest Purchase Option to Party A.

1.1.1                     Steps for Exercise of Equity Interest Purchase Option

 

Subject to the provisions of the laws and regulations of China, Party A may exercise the Equity Interest Purchase Option by issuing a written notice to Party B (the “Equity Interest Purchase Option Notice”), specifying: (a) Party A’s or the Designee’s decision to exercise the Equity Interest Purchase Option; (b) the portion of equity interests to be purchased by Party A or the Designee from Party B (the “Optioned Interests”); and (c) the date for purchasing the Optioned Interests and/or the date for transfer of the Optioned Interests.

 

1.1.2                     Equity Interest Purchase Price

 

The purchase price of the Optioned Interests (the “Base Price”) shall be RMB 10.  If PRC law requires a minimum price higher than the Base Price when Party A exercises Equity Interest Purchase Option, the minimum price regulated by PRC law shall be the purchase price (collectively, the “Equity Interest Purchase Price”). Subject to the fulfillment in full of Section 6 of this Agreement by Party C, Party B shall transfer the Equity Interest Purchase Price and any other proceeds obtained by Party B from such transfer of the Optioned Interest to Party A or the Designee at nil consideration immediately after receiving the Equity Interest Purchase Price and such proceeds for the transfer of the Optioned Interest. For avoidance of doubt, the Equity Interest Purchase Price transferred to Party A or the Designee shall deduct (i) such portion equivalent to the Party B’s capital contribution of its own funds (which shall not include the amount of the loan that Party A lent to Party B for the purpose of increasing the registered capital of Party C) to Party C and (ii) any and all transfer and registration taxes, expenses, and fees paid by Party B in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement and the Transfer Contracts (as defined below), as well as the consummation of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the Transfer Contracts.

For the purpose of this Section and this Agreement, “security interests” shall include securities, mortgages, third party’s rights or interests, any stock options, acquisition right, right of first refusal, right to offset, ownership retention or other security arrangements, but shall be deemed to exclude any security interest created by this Agreement, Party B’s Equity Interest Pledge Agreement, Party B’s Loan Agreement and Party B’s Power of Attorney.  “Party B’s Equity Interest Pledge Agreement” as used in this Agreement shall refer to the Fourth Amended and Restated Equity Interest Pledge Agreement executed by and among Party A, Party B and Party C on November 23, 2016 and any modification, amendment and restatement thereto.  “Party B’s Loan Agreement” as used in this Agreement shall refer to the Loan Agreement executed by and between Party A and Party B on November 23, 2016 and any modification, amendment and restatement thereto. “Party B’s Power of Attorney” as used in this Agreement shall refer to the Fourth Amended and Restated Power of Attorney executed by Party B on November 23, 2016 granting Party A with power of attorney and any modification, amendment and restatement thereto.
