&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) by the last Repurchase Date (i.e., April 15, 2024), the Company shall repurchase the remaining portion of the principal amount of the Note, if any, at the price equal to 100% of the principal amount being repurchased, and pay all interest accrued on the remaining outstanding principal amount of the Note (including the principal amount being repurchased on the last Repurchase Date) from the immediately preceding Repurchase Date to the last Repurchase Date, at the Adjusted Rate; such that as of the last Repurchase Date, the entire Note, together with all interest accrued thereon, shall have been fully repurchased and paid by the Company;

<u>provided</u>, in the case of (a), (b) and (c) above, that if the Company fails to notify the Holder of the principal amount to be repurchased on any Repurchase Date in accordance with Section 1.3(a), the principal amount to be repurchased on such Repurchase Date shall be determined in accordance with the last sentence of Section 1.3(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) As used in this Agreement, (i) the "<u>Aggregate Repurchased Amount</u>" as of a Repurchase Date means the aggregate amount of repurchased portion of the principal amount of the Note, being the sum of the principal amounts of all Repurchase Installments paid by the Company on or prior to that Repurchase Date; (ii) the "<u>Projected Repurchased Amount</u>" for a Repurchase Date means the U.S. dollar amount set forth in <u>Schedule I</u> attached hereto under the heading "Projected Repurchased Amount By Installment" and next to that Repurchase Date; and (iii) the "<u>Required Aggregate Repurchased Amount</u>" as of a Repurchase Date means the U.S. dollar amount set forth in <u>Schedule I</u> attached hereto under the heading "Required Aggregate Repurchased Amount" and next to that Repurchase Date.

Section 1.2 <u>Calculation of Interest</u>. Interest payable under this Agreement shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and, for partial months, on the basis of actual days elapsed over a 30-day month.

Section 1.3 <u>Amount and Rate of Repurchase</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If the principal amount of the Note to be repurchased as determined by the Company in its discretion pursuant to Section 1.1 for a Repurchase Date deviates from the Projected Repurchased Amount for that Repurchase Date, the Company shall notify the Holder of that determined amount by delivery of a written notice at least five (5) days prior to that Repurchase Date. If the Company fails to provide such written notice in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the principal amount to be repurchased on that Repurchase Date shall be the Projected Repurchase Amount for that Repurchase Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The outstanding principal amount of the Note will accrue interest at the Original Rate prior to and until September 15, 2023 (the "<u>Rate Adjustment Date</u>"), and will accrue interest at the Adjusted Rate after the Rate Adjustment Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company shall not be obligated to make interest payment under the Note on each Interest Payment Date for so long as it performs the obligations under this Agreement. The Company shall not be obligated to make repurchase on the Original Repurchase Date under Section 5.1 of the Note. Once the Note is fully repurchased and all amounts payable under this Agreement are irrevocably paid by the Company in full, in each case in accordance with this Agreement, the Company and the Holder will cease to have any further obligations under the Note or the other Transaction Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Solely for illustrative purposes, if the Company has paid US$25,000,000 in each of the first two Repurchase Installments on March 15 and April 15, 2023, respectively, in accordance with Section 1.1, and determines to repurchase a principal amount of US$85,000,000 of the Note on May 15, 2023, then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) such repurchase will make the Aggregate
 Repurchased Amount US$135,000,000 as of May 15, 2023;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) on May 15, 2023, the Company
 shall pay to the Holder (A) US$85,000,000, being the principal amount the Company determined
 to repurchase, <u>plus</u> (B) interest accrued, at the Original Rate, on the Note (including
 on the principal amount referred to in (A)) from April 15, 2023 to May 15, 2023;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) on each of the Repurchase Dates
 of June 15 and July 15, 2023, the Company may determine to and is not obligated
 to pay any principal amount (because the Aggregate Repurchased Amount exceeds the Required
 Aggregate Repurchased Amount as of June 15 and July 15, 2023), but shall pay interest
 accrued, at the Original Rate, on US$165,000,000 (being the principal amount outstanding
 immediately after such accelerated repurchase) from the immediately preceding Repurchase
 Date to such Repurchase Date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) on the Repurchase Date of August 15,
 2023, the Company shall pay (A) US$15,000,000 (being the amount that makes the Aggregate
 Repurchased Amount not less than the Required Aggregate Repurchased Amount, or US$150,000,000,
 on such Repurchase Date), <u>plus</u> (B) interest accrued, at the Original Rate, on
 US$165,000,000 from the immediately preceding Repurchase Date to such Repurchase Date.

Section 1.4 <u>Method of Payment</u>. All amounts payable under this Agreement shall be paid to the Holder in U.S. dollars, in immediately available funds on the date that any such payment becomes payable hereunder. The Company shall make such payments to the Holder by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account that the Holder may designate from time to time; <u>provided</u> that any such designation (or change of designation) shall have been notified in writing to the Company at least three Business Days prior to the relevant payment date. 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 together with interest accrued at the applicable rate set forth in Section 1.1 during the period of delay.

Section 1.5 <u>Event of Default; Default Interest</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Any failure by the Company to (i) make any payment for the repurchase of any principal amount of the Note required to be repurchased on any Repurchase Date in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) make payment of any interest payable on any Repurchase Date in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement if such failure to pay interest continues for a period of 30 days, shall be an "Event of Default" as defined in, and for purposes of, the Note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) For the avoidance of doubt, if on or after the date hereof, the Note becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Note, then the interest accrued up to the date on which the Note becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Note (the "<u>Acceleration Date</u>") shall be calculated at the Original Rate for any period prior to and until the Rate Adjustment Date and the Adjusted Rate for any period after the Rate Adjustment Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Any amounts that are payable but not punctually paid by the Company in accordance with this Agreement (including any principal or interest due but not paid on the Acceleration Date), shall accrue interest from the relevant due date at the rate per annum equal to (i) for any period prior to and until the Rate Adjustment Date, the Original Rate plus *two percent*, or (ii) for any period after the Rate Adjustment Date, the Adjusted Rate plus *two percent*, in each case subject to the enforceability thereof under applicable Law.

No failure or delay on the part of any party to exercise any right hereunder shall operate as waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any party of any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

Section 4.6 <u>Entire Agreement</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) This Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement, the Note and the other Transaction Documents, together with all the schedules and exhibits hereto and thereto and the certificates and other written instruments delivered in connection therewith from time to time on and following the date hereof, constitute and contain the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matters hereof and thereof and supersedes any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, agreements, understandings, duties or obligations between the parties with respect to such subject matters.
