**ATA CREATIVITY GLOBAL**

**EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS**

**June 5, 2026**

**2:00 P.M., Beijing Time**

**NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS**

The board of directors (the "**Board**") of ATA Creativity Global (the "**Company**") is soliciting proxies for the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the "**Meeting**") of the Company to be held virtually on June 5, 2026, at 2:00 P.M., Beijing time, or any adjournment or postponement thereof. The Company will hold the Meeting in a virtual only format, which will be conducted via live webcast and teleconference, and shareholders will not be able to attend the meeting physically.

**REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES**

Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time at least 2 hours before the Meeting, any adjourned meeting or postponed meeting by delivering a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or, if you hold common shares on the record date, by attending the meeting and voting yourself. A written notice of revocation must be delivered to the attention of Ruobai Sima, CFO, ATA Creativity Global at 16F, Building E, Gongyuan Xijie No.6, Dongcheng District, Beijing 100005, if you hold our common shares, or to Citibank N.A. if you hold American Depositary Shares ("**ADSs**") representing our common shares.

**RECORD DATE, SHARE OWNERSHIP, AND QUORUM**

Shareholders of record at the close of business on May 6, 2026 (the "**Record Date**") are entitled to vote at the Meeting. Our common shares underlying ADSs are included for purposes of this determination. As of the Record Date, 87,001,860 of our common shares, par value US$0.01 per share (the "**Common Shares**"), were issued and outstanding, approximately 53,135,992 of which were represented by ADSs (with each ADS representing two common shares). Two (2) shareholders entitled to vote and present in person, or (in the case of a common shareholder being a corporation) by its duly authorized representative, or by proxy that represent not less than one-third in nominal value of our total issued voting shares shall form a quorum for all purposes.

**VOTING AND SOLICITATION**

Holders of common shares outstanding on the record date are entitled to one vote for each fully paid common share held. At the Meeting every common shareholder present in person, or (in the case of a common shareholder being a corporation) by its duly authorized representative, or by proxy, may vote for the fully paid common shares held by such common shareholder. A resolution put to the vote of the Meeting will be decided by way of a poll. The result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting.

The Company will pay the expenses of the preparation of proxy materials and the solicitation of proxies for the Meeting.

**VOTING BY HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES**

When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned by holders of common shares, the common shares they represent will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder. If no specific instructions are given in a proxy that is properly dated, executed and returned by a holder of common shares, the common shares will be voted "FOR" each proposal and in the proxy holder's discretion as to other matters that may properly come before the Meeting. Abstentions by holders of common shares are included in the determination of the number of common shares present but are not counted as votes for or against a proposal. Broker non-votes will not be counted towards a quorum or for any purpose in determining whether the proposal is approved.

**VOTING BY HOLDERS OF AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES**

Citibank, N.A., as depositary of the ADSs, has advised us that it intends to mail to all owners of ADSs this proxy statement, the accompanying notice of Meeting and an ADS Voting Instruction Card. Upon the written request of an owner of record of ADSs, Citibank, N.A. will endeavor, insofar as practicable, to vote or cause to be voted the amount of common shares represented by such ADSs in accordance with the instructions set forth in such request. Citibank, N.A. has advised us that it will not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote other than in accordance with those instructions. As the holder of record for all the common shares represented by the ADSs, only Citibank, N.A. may vote those common shares at the Meeting.

Citibank, N.A. and its agents have advised us that they are not responsible if they fail to carry out your voting instructions or for the manner in which they carry out your voting instructions. This means that if the common shares underlying your ADSs are not able to be voted at the Meeting, there may be nothing you can do.

If (i) the enclosed Voting Instruction Card is signed but is missing voting instructions, or (ii) the enclosed Voting Instruction Card is improperly completed, Citibank, N.A. will deem such holder of ADSs to have instructed the depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company.

**THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" EACH OF THE OTHER PROPOSALS.**

**QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THESE PROXY MATERIALS**

**What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?**

Certain of our Shareholders hold their shares in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder, rather than holding share certificates in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

*Shareholder of Record/Registered Shareholders*

If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our register of members, you are a "Shareholder of record" who may vote at the Meeting, and we are sending these proxy materials directly to you. As the Shareholder of record, you have the right to direct the voting of your shares by returning the enclosed proxy card to us or to vote yourself at the Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, please complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted.

*Beneficial Owner*

If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm or at a bank or other nominee holder, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held "in street name," and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee who is considered the Shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote your shares and to attend the Meeting. However, since you are not the Shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares yourself at the Meeting unless you receive a valid proxy from your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder. To obtain a valid proxy, you must make a special request of your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder. If you do not make this request, you can still vote by using the voting instruction card enclosed with this proxy statement; however, you will not be able to vote yourself at the Meeting.

**How do I vote?**

If you were a Shareholder of record of the Company's common shares on the Record Date, you may vote yourself at the Meeting or by submitting a proxy. Each common share that you own in your name entitles you to one vote, in each case, on the applicable proposals.

You may submit your proxy by mail. You may submit your proxy by mail by completing, signing and dating your proxy card and returning it in the enclosed, postage-paid and addressed envelope. If we receive your proxy card prior to this Meeting and if you mark your voting instructions on the proxy card, your shares will be voted:

● as you instruct, and

● according to the best judgment of the proxies if a proposal comes up for a vote at this Meeting that is not on the proxy card.

We encourage you to examine your proxy card closely to make sure you are voting all of your shares in the Company.

If you return a signed card, but do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted:

● FOR the approval of the Disposition Proposal;

● FOR the approval of the PIPE Proposal;

● FOR the approval of the Re-Election of Directors Proposal;

● FOR the ratification of the Incentive Plan Proposal;

● According to the best judgment of your proxy if a proposal comes up for a vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card.

**If I plan on attending the Meeting, should I return my proxy card?**

Yes. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, after carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement, please complete and sign your proxy card. Then return the proxy card in the pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided herewith as soon as possible so your shares may be represented at the Meeting.

**May I change my mind after I return my proxy?**

Yes. You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at this Meeting. You may do this by:

● sending a written notice to the Secretary of the Company at the Company's executive offices, if you hold our common shares, or to Citibank, N.A. if you hold ADSs representing our common shares, stating that you would like to revoke your proxy of a particular date; or

● signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it to the Secretary, if you hold our common shares, or to Citibank, N.A. if you hold ADSs representing our common shares, before the polls close at this Meeting.

**What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?**

You may have multiple accounts at the transfer agent and/or with brokerage firms. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

**What happens if I do not indicate how to vote my proxy?**

Signed and dated proxies received by the Company without an indication of how the Shareholder desires to vote on a proposal will be voted in favor of each proposal presented to the Shareholders.

**Will my shares be voted if I do not sign and return my proxy card?**

If you do not sign and return your proxy card, your shares will not be voted unless you vote yourself at this Meeting.

**How many votes are required to approve the Disposition Proposal?**

The ordinary resolution to approve the Disposition requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of common shares entitled to vote.

**How many votes are required to approve that the PIPE Proposal?**

The ordinary resolution to approve the PIPE requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of common shares entitled to vote.

**How many votes are required to approve the Re-Election of Directors Proposal?**

The ordinary resolution to approve the Re-Election of Directors requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of common shares entitled to vote.

**How many votes are required to ratify the Incentive Plan Proposal?**

The ordinary resolution to ratify the Incentive Plan requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of common shares entitled to vote.

**Is my vote kept confidential?**

Proxies, ballots and voting tabulations identifying Shareholders are kept confidential and will not be disclosed, except as may be necessary to meet legal requirements.

**Where do I find the voting results of this Meeting?**

We will announce voting results at this Meeting and also file a Current Report on Form 6-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**SEC**") reporting the voting results.

**Who can help answer my questions?**

You can contact Ruobai Sima via email simaruobai@acgedu.cn, or by sending a letter to the offices of the Company at 16F, Building E, Gongyuan Xijie No.6, Dongcheng District, Beijing 100005 with any questions about proposals described in this proxy statement or how to execute your vote.

**PROPOSAL NO. 1**

**APPROVAL OF THE DISPOSITION PROPOSAL**

**Summary of the Proposed Disposition**

On May 6, 2026, the Company entered into the Disposition Agreement with ACGIGL, ATA BVI, and Huanqiuyimeng, and the Buyer, pursuant to which the Sellers will sell all of their equity interests in the Targets to the Buyer in exchange for nominal cash consideration of RMB1 (the "**Consideration**"). The closing of the Disposition is subject to, among other things, the approval of the Company's shareholders and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. See "— Closing Conditions". The Buyer is not affiliated with the Company or any of its directors, officers, or significant shareholders.

The diagrams below illustrate the corporate ownership structure of the Company before and after the consummation of the Disposition. These diagrams are for illustrative purposes only.

Immediately prior to the consummation of the Disposition:

![](tm2612720d1_ex99-1img01.jpg)

Immediately following the consummation of the Disposition:

![](tm2612720d1_ex99-1img02.jpg)

In connection with the proposed Disposition, the Company engaged Roma Appraisals Limited ("**Roma**") to render a written fairness opinion (the "**Fairness Opinion**") to the Board to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion, the Consideration the Company would receive for the sale of the Targets is fair to the shareholders of the Company, from a financial point of view.

Although shareholder approval is not required under applicable law for this Disposition, the Board has elected to seek such approval to promote transparency, enhance shareholder awareness, and better safeguard shareholders' interests.

**Reasons for the Disposition**

The Board of Directors of the Company decided to divest the Targets due to their sustained negative financial performance, including net losses of approximately RMB 48,542,125 (approximately $6,941,430) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and net loss of approximately RMB 36,045,453 (approximately $4,938,206) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

This strategic decision is driven by two key factors: (i) the need to eliminate underperforming assets, and (ii) the Company's intention to focus on its future strategic direction, particularly. The Targets, which have consistently failed to deliver positive returns, no longer align with the Company's long-term vision and core business strengths.

By divesting these non-core operations, the Company aims to streamline its financial structure, improve overall profitability, and reallocate resources toward areas that offer significant opportunities for future value creation and sustainable competitive advantage.

The Board also considered a number of uncertainties, risks, and potentially negative factors in its deliberations, including:

The Company will receive no monetary consideration in connection with the Disposition. The Disposition will not generate any cash proceeds that could be used to fund the Company's operations, reduce indebtedness, return capital to shareholders, or pursue strategic opportunities.

The Disposition is subject to a number of conditions to closing, including shareholder approval, and there can be no assurance that all such conditions will be satisfied or waived in a timely manner or at all. A failure to consummate the Disposition could result in the Company continuing to bear the costs and liabilities associated with the Targets and could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, and trading price of the Company's ADSs.

The process of separating the Targets from the Company's operations may divert some attention of the Company's management and employees from day-to-day operations, and potentially affect the retention of key personnel, customers, suppliers, or business relationships associated with the Subsidiaries or the Company's remaining business.

The foregoing discussion of the reasons and factors considered by the Board is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather summarizes the material factors considered by the Board. In view of the variety of factors and the amount of information considered, the Board did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors considered in reaching its determination. Individual directors may have given different weights to different factors. The Board is of the opinion that the Company is, and after entering into the Disposition would be, able to pay its debts.

**Reports, Opinions and Appraisals**

The Company engaged Roma to render the Fairness Opinion as to whether the Consideration to be received by the Company is fair to the Company's shareholders from a financial point of view. The Company decided to engage Roma as it has substantial experience in similar matters. Roma rendered its written opinion to the Board that the Consideration to be received by the Company was fair to the Company's shareholders from a financial point of view. The Fairness Opinion is included as <u>Annex B</u>.

The Company paid an aggregate cash fee of $28,000 to Roma for its opinion and has obtained consent from Roma for the use of its fairness opinion in this proxy statement.

The Fairness Opinion was provided to the Company's directors for their assessment of the Transaction and only addressed the fairness to the Company's shareholders, from a financial point of view, of Consideration to be received by the Company pursuant to the Disposition Agreement as of the date of the Fairness Opinion and did not address any other aspects or implications of the sale of the Targets.

**Effect on the Company if the Disposition is Not Completed**

If the Disposition is not approved by the shareholders or if the Disposition is not completed for any other reason, our management expects that the business will be operated as how it is currently being operated until we pursue another strategic alternative, and that our shareholders will continue to be subject to the same risks and opportunities to which they are currently subject.

**Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Disposition**

None.

**The Disposition Agreement**

The following is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Disposition Agreement, which is attached as <u>Annex A</u> to this proxy statement and is incorporated by reference herein. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not contain all of the information about the Agreement that is important to you. You are encouraged to read the Disposition Agreement in its entirety because it is the legal document that governs the matters discussed in the summary below.

*The Disposition*

At the closing and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of the Disposition Agreement, the Sellers will sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to the Buyer, and the Buyer will purchase, acquire and accept from the Sellers, all of the equity ownership and all relevant rights and interests of the Targets (which we refer to as the equity interests), free and clear of all liens. In exchange for the equity interests, the Buyer agreed to pay RMB1 to the Company.

*Representations and Warranties*

The Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties made by the Buyer, the Sellers and the Targets. These representations and warranties include, among other things:

In forming our opinion, we have primarily relied on the background information in relation to the Transaction provided to us by the Company, the information contained in the Valuation Report and other information provided to us by the Company and the Valuer. We have also relied on public market information to verify the valuation assumptions adopted by the Valuer.

We have not conducted further investigations concerning whether all source data have been provided to us for our assessment and we have no reason to believe that any material source data have been withheld from us.

We have no reason to believe that any material facts have been withheld from us. However, we do not warrant that our investigations have revealed all of the matters which an audit or more extensive examination might disclose.

Since the Consideration was determined based on the Valuation Report, the opinion on the Transaction was mainly based on the fairness opinion on the Valuation Report. This report only assesses the fairness of the valuation methodology and assumptions adopted and should not be interpreted as providing an absolute assurance on the valuation conclusion stated in the Valuation Report.

We have not investigated the title to or any legal liabilities of the Valuation Report. We have assumed no responsibility for the title of the Valuation Report. Save as and except for the purpose stated above, neither the whole nor any part of this report nor any reference thereto may be included in any document, circular or statement without our written approval of the form and context in which it will appear.

Section 4.03. *Consent*. In connection with the entering into and performance of this Agreement, subject to the accuracy of the warranties of the Company in Section <u>3.06</u>, the Buyer is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, (a) any Governmental Authority in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under or contemplated hereby or thereby; or (b) any third party pursuant to any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Buyer is a party, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof other than such as have been made or obtained, and except for such consents, authorizations, orders, filings or registrations that, if not obtained or made, would not result in a material adverse effect on the businesses and operations of the Buyer.

The Buyer has the knowledge, sophistication and experience necessary to make an investment decision like that involved in the transactions contemplated hereunder and can bear the economic risk of its investment in the Subscription Shares. The Buyer has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to the purchase of the Subscription Shares. The Buyer is a sophisticated investor and has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase the Subscription Shares.

Section 4.05. *Investment Intent*. The Buyer is acquiring the Subscription Shares for investment for its own account and not with a view toward any resale or distribution thereof except in compliance with the 1933 Act.

**ARTICLE II**

**TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS**

Section 2.1 <u>Restrictions on Transfer by the Investor.</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) <u>Co-Sale Right of Mr. Ma Parties and Mr. Zhang Parties.</u> If, at any time, the Investor proposes to Transfer in a transaction pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act any of the Subscription Shares, then the Investor shall promptly give written notice (the "**Transfer Notice**") to each of Mr. Ma Parties, Mr. Zhang Parties and the Company prior to such Transfer. The Transfer Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed Transfer including, without limitation, the number of Equity Securities to be Transferred (the "**Offered Shares**"), the nature of such Transfer, the consideration to be paid, and the name and address of each prospective purchaser or transferee or acquirer. The Transfer Notice shall also include a copy of any written proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or other agreement relating to the proposed Transfer (if any). Mr. Ma Parties and Mr. Zhang Parties (the "**Co-Sale Holders**") shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Investor and the Company (the "**Co-Sale Notice**") within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of the Transfer Notice (the "**Co-Sale Right Period**"), to participate in the sale of the Offered Shares at the same price and subject to the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Transfer Notice. The Co-Sale Notice shall set forth the number of Shares (on an as-converted basis) that such Co-Sale Holder wishes to include in such Transfer, which amount shall not exceed the Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of such Co-Sale Holder. To the extent any Co-Sale Holder exercises such right of co-sale in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of the Offered Shares that the Investor may sell in the transaction shall be correspondingly reduced. The co-sale right of each Co-Sale Holder shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

1) **Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion**. A Co-Sale Holder may sell all or any part of that number of Common Shares held by or issuable to it (on an as-converted basis) that is equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of the Offered Shares subject to the co-sale right hereunder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Common Shares held directly or indirectly by such Co-Sale Holder (calculated on an as-converted basis) at the time of the date of Transfer Notice and the denominator of which is the combined number of Common Shares held by the Investor and Common Shares held directly or indirectly by such Co-Sale Holder (calculated on an as-converted basis) at the time of the date of the Transfer Notice(the "**Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion**"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the sale of the Offered Shares by the Investor leads to that the Investor (together with its Affiliate(s)) ceases to hold more than 20% of the outstanding Voting Securities of the Company, each Co-Sale Holder shall have the option (but not the obligation) to sell all the Equity Securities in the Company held by it, prior to the Investor, to the prospective purchaser at the same price and on materially equivalent terms and conditions as those offered by the prospective purchaser.

2) **Transferred Shares**. A Co-Sale Holder shall effect its participation in the co-sale by promptly delivering to the Investor for transfer to the prospective purchaser instrument(s) of transfer executed by such Co-Sale Holder and one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, which represent the number of the Common Shares or other Equity Securities in the Company which such Co-Sale Holder elects to sell; provided however, if the Investor proposes to Transfer any ADSs to the prospective purchaser, or if the prospective purchaser objects to the Transfer of the Common Shares in lieu of the ADSs, upon written request of such Co-sale Holder, the Company shall convert such Common Shares into ADSs.

3) **Payment to Co-Sale Holders; Registration of Transfer**. The share certificate or certificates that a Co-Sale Holder delivers to the Investor shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser in consummation of the Transfer of the Offered Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice, and the Investor shall concurrently therewith remit to the Co-Sale Holder exercising the co-sale right that portion of the sale proceeds to which the Co-Sale Holder is entitled by reason of its participation in such Transfer. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase Common Shares or other securities from the Co-Sale Holders exercising the co-sale right hereunder, the Investor shall not Transfer to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Offered Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such Transfer, the Investor shall purchase such Common Shares or other securities from the Co-Sale Holders exercising the co-sale right pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice. The Company shall, upon surrendering by the Co-Sale Holder or the Investor of the certificates for the Common Shares or other securities being Transferred from the Co-Sale Holders as provided above, make proper entries in the register of members of the Company and cancel the surrendered certificates and issue any new certificates in the name of the prospective purchase or the Investor, as the case may be, as necessary to consummate the transactions in connection with the exercise by the Co-Sale Holder of its co-sale rights under this <u>Section 2.2(b)</u>.

4) **Procedure of the Transfer by the Investor**. Subject to other provisions under this <u>Section 2.1(a)</u>, the Investor shall have a period of ninety (90) days from the expiration of the Co-Sale Right Period in which to sell the remaining Offered Shares that have not been taken up by the co-sale rights exercised by Mr. Ma Parties and Mr. Zhang Parties, to the prospective transferee identified in the Transfer Notice upon terms and conditions (including the purchase price) no more favorable to such prospective transferee than those specified in the Transfer Notice, so long as any such sale is effected in accordance with all applicable Laws. In the event that the Investor does not consummate the sale of such Offered Shares to the prospective transferee identified in the Transfer Notice within such ninety (90) day period, the co-sale right of Mr. Ma Parties and Mr. Zhang Parties under this <u>Section 2.2(b)</u> shall be re-invoked and shall be applicable to each subsequent Transfer of such Offered Shares by the Investor until such rights lapse in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

&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) <u>Permitted Transfer.</u> Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Agreement, the restrictions in the foregoing <u>subsection (a)</u> on the Investor's right to Transfer in a transaction pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act shall not apply to any Transfer by the Investor to its Affiliate provided that such Affiliate of the Investor is not a Competitor of the Company or an Affiliate of the Competitor. Subject to the foregoing <u>subsection (a)</u>, the Investor shall cause any permitted transferee of any Transfer of the Subscription Shares to execute and deliver to the Company a joinder agreement becoming a Party hereto as an "Investor" subject to the terms and conditions hereof (to the extent practical).

&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) <u>Void Transfer.</u> Any purported Transfer by the Investor in violation of this <u>Article II</u> shall be null and void and of no force and effect and the Company shall refuse to recognize any such Transfer and shall not register or otherwise reflect on its records any change in ownership of such Equity Securities in the Company purported to have been Transferred.

**ARTICLE III**

**REGISTRATION RIGHTS**

Section 3.1 <u>Registration Rights.</u> The Company agrees to grant each Holder the following registration rights and the Investor undertakes to use its best efforts to cause the Company to ensure the full exercise and enforcement of the registration rights of Mr. Ma Parties and Mr. Zhang Parties, including but not limited to procuring any Director nominated by the Investor (if any) to cooperate with the exercise of such rights:

&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) <u>Demand Registration.</u>

1) <u>Registration Statements.</u> At any time or from time to time after the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date, each of the Holders may request in writing that the Company prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form F-3 (or, if Form F-3 is not then available to the Company or is not permitted to cover all Registrable Securities requested by the Holder for registration, on such form of registration statement (including without limitation Form F-1, as applicable) as is then available to effect a registration for resale of all of the applicable Registrable Securities) for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the "**Shelf Registration Statement**"). Such Shelf Registration Statement shall, subject to the limitations of Form F-3 (as applicable), include without limitation the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities to be registered therein and shall contain (except if otherwise required pursuant to written comments received from the SEC upon a review of such Shelf Registration Statement) the customary "Plan of Distribution" section. To the extent the staff of the SEC does not permit all of the Registrable Securities to be registered on the Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to this <u>Section 3.1(a)</u> or for any other reason any Registrable Securities are not then included in a Registration Statement filed under this Agreement, the Company shall (i) inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement as required by the SEC; and/or (ii) withdraw the Shelf Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a "**New Registration Statement**"), in either case covering without limitation the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the SEC, on Form F-3 or such other form (including without limitation Form F-1, as applicable) available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations D.29. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis to the Holders based on the total number of unregistered Registrable Securities held by such Holders, subject to a determination by the SEC that certain Holders must be reduced first based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders. In addition, if any SEC Guidance requires any Person seeking to sell securities under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement to be specifically identified as an "underwriter" in order to permit such Registration Statement to become effective, and such Person does not consent to being so named as an underwriter in such Registration Statement, then, in each such case, the Company shall reduce the total number of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of such Person, until such time as the SEC does not require such identification or until such Person accepts such identification and the manner thereof. In the event the Company amends the Shelf Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by SEC or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more Registration Statements on Form F-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Shelf Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement (the "**Remainder Registration Statement**").

2) <u>Effectiveness.</u> The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to have the Shelf Registration Statement or New Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable but in any event within thirty (30) days after the Holder(s) requests to file the Registration Statement (including filing with the Commission a request for acceleration of effectiveness in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act) (the "**Effectiveness Deadline**"), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement or New Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (a) such time as all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been publicly sold by the Holders; or (b) the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and reasonably acceptable to the Depositary and the affected Holders (the "**Effectiveness Period**"). The Company shall notify each Holder by e-mail as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours, after any Registration Statement is declared effective and shall simultaneously provide each Holder with copies of any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered thereby. During the Effectiveness Period, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of each Registration Statement or the use of any Prospectus contained therein, or the suspension of the qualification, or the loss of an exemption from qualification, of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment.

3) If: (i) the Shelf Registration Statement or the New Registration Statement, as applicable, is not declared effective by the SEC (or otherwise does not become effective) for any reason on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline; (ii) after its Effective Date, (A) such Registration Statement ceases for any reason (including without limitation by reason of a stop order, or the Company's failure to update the Registration Statement), to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement or (B) the Company suspends the use of the Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement; or (iii) the Company fails to satisfy the current public information requirement pursuant to Rule 144(c)(1) as a result of which the Holders are unable to sell Registrable Securities without restriction under Rule 144 (or any successor thereto) and fails to cure any such failure to satisfy the Rule 144(c)(1) requirement within fifteen (15) Business Days following the date upon which the Holder notifies the Company in writing that such Holder is unable to sell Registrable Securities as a result thereof, (any such failure or breach in clauses (i) through (iii) above being referred to as an "**Event**," and the date on which such Event occurs, being referred to as an "**Event Date**"), then in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable Law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the earlier of (i) the applicable Event is cured or (ii) the Registrable Securities are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 without manner of sale or volume restrictions, the Company shall pay to such Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty ("**Liquidated Damages**"), equal to 1.67% of the fair market value of the unregistered Registrable Securities then held by such Holder being calculated on the basis of the closing price of the ADSs on the principal Trading Market as of the date such Holder requests to file the Shelf Registration Statement. The Parties agree that (i) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Subscription Agreement, no Liquidated Damages shall be payable with respect to any period after the expiration of the Effectiveness Period (it being understood that this sentence shall not relieve the Company of any Liquidated Damages accruing prior to the Effectiveness Deadline). If the Company fails to pay any Liquidated Damages pursuant to this <u>Section 3.1(c)</u> in full within five (5) Business Days after the date payable, the Company shall pay interest thereon at a rate of 1.67% per month (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable Law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such Liquidated Damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The Liquidated Damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event, except in the case of the first Event Date. The Company shall not be liable for Liquidated Damages under this Agreement as to any Registrable Securities which are not permitted by the SEC to be included in a Registration Statement due solely to SEC Guidance from the time that it is determined that such Registrable Securities are not permitted to be registered until such time as the provisions of this Agreement as to the Remainder Registration Statements required to be filed hereunder are triggered, in which case the provisions of this <u>Section 3.1(c)</u> shall once again apply, if applicable. In such case, the Liquidated Damages shall be calculated to only apply to the percentage of Registrable Securities which are permitted in accordance with SEC Guidance to be included in such Registration Statement. The Effectiveness Deadline for a Registration Statement shall be extended without default or Liquidated Damages hereunder in the event that the Company's failure to obtain the effectiveness of such Registration Statement on a timely basis results from the failure of any Holder to timely provide the Company with information requested by the Company and necessary to complete the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act (in which the Effectiveness Deadline would be extended with respect to Registrable Securities held by such Holder).

4) In the event that Form F-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder or is not permitted to cover all Registrable Securities requested by the Holder for registration, the Company shall (i) register the resale of all the Registrable Securities as requested by the Holders on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Holders and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form F-3 promptly after such form is available or is permitted to cover all Registrable Securities requested by the Holder for registration (as the case may be), *provided* that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form F-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission.

&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) <u>Piggyback Registrations.</u> If there is not then an effective registration statement covering all of the Registrable Securities, and the Company determines to prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others of any of its Equity Securities other than (x) a registration pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or other registration solely relating to an offering or sale to employees or Directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit arrangement), (y) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form F-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), or (z) in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or similar plan, then the Company shall send to each Holder written notice of such determination and, if within twenty (20) Business Days after the date of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered.

Section 3.2 <u>Removal of Legend.</u> Each Holder shall have the right to request removal of any legend from certificates evidencing Registrable Securities in any of the following circumstances: (i) when the Registrable Securities are eligible for resale under Rule 144; (ii) when such Registrable Securities are eligible for resale pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement; or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including, without limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the SEC). Upon receipt of such request from a Holder, the Company shall, at its own expense, no later than three (3) Business Days following the delivery by such Holder to the Company of a legended certificate representing such Registrable Securities (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable), as directed by such Holder, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to such Holder, a certificate representing such Registrable Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of such Holder or its designee.

Section 3.3 <u>Expenses.</u> All expenses incident to the Company's performance of or compliance with this Agreement shall be paid by the Company, other than underwriting discounts or commissions deducted from the proceeds in respect of any Registrable Securities, including (i) all registration and filing fees, and any other fees and expenses associated with filings required to be made with the SEC, FINRA or any other regulatory authority and, if applicable, the fees and expenses of any "qualified independent underwriter" as such term is defined in NASD Rule 2720 (or any successor provision) and of its counsel, (ii) all fees and expenses in connection with compliance with any securities or "Blue Sky" laws (including fees and disbursements of counsel for the underwriters in connection with "Blue Sky" qualifications of the Registrable Securities), (iii) all printing, duplicating, word processing, messenger, telephone, facsimile and delivery expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for the Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and of printing Prospectuses and Free Writing Prospectuses), (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and of all independent certified public accountants of the Company (including the expenses of any special audit and cold comfort letters required by or incident to such performance), (v) Securities Act liability insurance or similar insurance if the Company so desires or the underwriters so require in accordance with then-customary underwriting practice, (vi) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of Registrable Securities on any securities exchange or quotation of the Registrable Securities on any inter-dealer quotation system, (vii) all fees and expenses of any special experts or other Persons retained by the Company in connection with any registration, (viii) all of the Company's internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), (ix) all transfer agent fees required for same-day processing of any notice of conversion and all fees to the Depositary and The Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions), including without limitation any ADS conversion fees, required for same-day electronic delivery of the conversion shares, and (x) all expenses related to the "road-show" for any underwritten offering, including all travel, meals and lodging. All such expenses are referred to herein as "<u>Registration Expenses</u>." Unless otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents, the Company shall not be responsible for any underwriting commissions attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities or any outside counsel fees of such Holder incurred in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities.

Section 3.6 <u>Indemnification.</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) <u>Indemnification by the Company</u>. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and its officers, directors, members, employees and agents, successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; (ii) any "Blue Sky" application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a "**Blue Sky Application**"); (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state in a Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made; (iv) any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration; or (v) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included in any such Registration Statement in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on each Holder's behalf and will reimburse each Holder, and each such officer, director or member and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by each Holder or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus.

&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) <u>Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings</u>. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (<u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that such indemnified party shall, at the expense of the indemnifying party, be entitled to counsel of its own choosing to monitor such defense); <u>provided</u> that, subject to the preceding sentence, any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person); and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

&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) <u>Contribution</u>. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Section 3.7 <u>Facilitation of ADS Conversion.</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) The Company acknowledges that each Holder has the right to deposit the Common Shares held by it with the Depositary in exchange for ADSs as soon as practicable for future sale (the "<u>ADS Conversion</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;(b) At any time from and from time to time, upon written request of any Holder, the Company shall promptly and in any event no later than three (3) Trading Days following receipt of such Holder's request (the "**ADS Conversion Deadline**"), effect, or cause the Depositary to effect, the ADS Conversion, if there is an effective Registration Statement on file with the SEC covering the re-sale of such Holder's Common Shares or such Common Shares may be re-sold pursuant to Rule 144, provided that, if requested by the Company, such Holder shall provide reasonable and timely cooperation to facilitate the ADS Conversion to the extent reasonably required.

&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) For purposes of completing the ADS Conversion, the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, take all necessary actions to cause the ADS Conversion, including but not limited to directing its Depositary (including to provide any consent or confirmation and to satisfy any other procedural or substantive requirements under the Deposit Agreement), share registrar, transfer agent and an outside counsel to take all necessary actions (including the removal of the restrictive legend) in accordance with the procedures for conversion of the Common Shares into ADSs and pay any and all the relevant cost and expense timely.

&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) If the ADS conversion is not completed within three (3) Trading Days following receipt of a Holder's request, then in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable Law, on the next day of the ADS Conversion Deadline and on each monthly anniversary of each such date until the completion of the ADS Conversion as requested, the Company shall pay to such Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.67% of the fair market value of the Common Shares to be converted being calculated on the basis of the closing price of the ADSs on the principal Trading Market as of the date such Holder requests the ADS Conversion.

Section 4.5 <u>Governing Law.</u> This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in all respects by the law of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws thereunder.

Section 4.6 <u>Dispute Resolution.</u> Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination and the Parties' rights and obligations hereunder (each, a "**Dispute**") shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration (the "**Arbitration**") in the following manner:

&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) The Arbitration shall be administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre ("**HKIAC**");

&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 Arbitration shall be procedurally governed by the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules as in force at the date on which the claimant party notifies the respondent party in writing (such notice, a "**Notice of Arbitration**") of its intent to pursue Arbitration, which are deemed to be incorporated by reference and may be amended by this <u>Section 4.6</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;(c) The seat and venue of the Arbitration shall be Hong Kong and the language of the Arbitration shall be English;

&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) A Dispute subject to Arbitration shall be determined by a panel of three (3) arbitrators (the "**Tribunal**"). One (1) arbitrator shall be nominated by the claimant party (and to the extent that there is more than one claimant party, by mutual agreement among the claimant parties) and one (1) arbitrator shall be nominated by the respondent party (and to the extent that there is more than one respondent party, by mutual agreement among the respondent parties). The third arbitrator shall be jointly nominated by the claimant party's and respondent party's respectively nominated arbitrators and shall act as the presiding arbitrator. If the claimant party or the respondent party fails to nominate its arbitrator within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the Notice of Arbitration by the respondent party or the claimant and respondent parties' nominated arbitrators fail to jointly nominate the presiding arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the nomination of the respondent-nominated arbitrator, either party to the Dispute may request the Chairperson of the HKIAC to appoint such arbitrator; and

&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) The Parties agree that all documents and evidence submitted in the Arbitration (including any statements of case and any interim or final award, as well as the fact that an arbitral award has been made) shall remain confidential both during and after any final award that is rendered unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing. The arbitral award is final and binding upon the Parties to the Arbitration.

Section 4.7 <u>Severability.</u> If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall be construed, to the extent feasible, so as to render the provision enforceable and to provide for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby on substantially the same terms as originally set forth herein, and if no feasible interpretation would save such provision, it shall be severed from the remainder of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect unless the severed provision is essential to the rights or benefits intended by the Parties. In such event, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate, in good faith, a substitute, valid and enforceable provision or agreement, which most nearly effects the Parties' intent in entering into this Agreement.

Section 4.8 <u>Assignments and Transfers; No Third Party Beneficiaries.</u> Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Company and the Investor hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives, but shall not otherwise be for the benefit of any third party. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Person hereunder shall not be assigned without the mutual written consent of the other Parties hereto, provided that, subject to the restrictions in <u>Article II</u>, the Investor may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more of its Affiliates at any time.

Section 4.9 <u>Construction.</u> Each of the Parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 4.10 <u>Counterparts.</u> This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement. Signatures in the form of electronically imaged "PDF" shall be deemed to be original signatures for all purposes hereunder. The Parties irrevocably and unreservedly agree that this Agreement may be executed by way of electronic signatures and the Parties agree that this Agreement, or any part thereof, shall not be challenged or denied any legal effect, validity and/or enforceability solely on the ground that it is in the form of an electronic record.

Section 4.11 <u>Aggregation of Shares.</u> All Securities held or acquired by the Investor and/or its Affiliates shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights of the Investor under this Agreement.

Section 4.12 <u>Specific Performance.</u> The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree irreparable harm may occur for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity, the Parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement without posting any bond or other undertaking.

Section 4.13 <u>Amendment; Waiver.</u> This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument duly executed by each of the Parties. The observance of any provision in this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only by the written consent of the Party against whom such waiver is to be effective.

Section 4.14 <u>Public Announcements.</u> Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, issue any press release or public statement with respect to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and the Investor shall not (to the extent practicable) issue any press release or make any public statement with respect to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby unless obtaining written consent from the Company, except as may be required by Law or any listing agreement with or requirement of the Nasdaq or any other applicable securities exchange, provided that the disclosing Party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law or any listing agreement with or requirement of the Nasdaq or any other applicable securities exchange and if reasonably practicable, inform the Company about the disclosure to be made pursuant to such requirements prior to the disclosure. Notwithstanding any to the contrary, to the extent required by applicable Law or any listing agreement with or requirement or rules of the applicable securities exchange, the Holders shall be entitled to disclose this Agreement in accordance with such applicable Law or any listing agreement with or requirement or rules of the applicable securities exchange.

Section 10.08. *Effectiveness*. This Agreement shall become effective upon the Closing.

**Annex E**

**Incentive Plan**

**ATA Creativity Global**

**2008 EMPLOYEE SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN**

**Amended and Restated as of April 8, 2026**

**1.** **PURPOSE OF PLAN** 

The purpose of this ATA Creativity Global 2008 Employee Share Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (this "**Plan**"), of ATA Creativity Global, an exempted company organized under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands, and its successors (the "**Company**"), is to promote the success of the Company and to increase shareholder value by providing an additional means through the grant of awards to attract, motivate, retain and reward selected employees and other eligible persons.

**2.** **ELIGIBILITY** 

The Administrator (as such term is defined in Section 3.1) may grant awards under this Plan only to those persons that the Administrator determines to be Eligible Persons. An "**Eligible Person**" is any person who is either: (a) an officer (whether or not a director) or employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries; (b) a director of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries; or (c) an individual consultant or advisor who renders or has rendered bona fide services (other than services in connection with the offering or sale of securities of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries in a capital-raising transaction or as a market maker or promoter of securities of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries) to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries and who is selected to participate in this Plan by the Administrator; provided, however, that a person who is otherwise an Eligible Person under clause (c) above may participate in this Plan only if such participation would not adversely affect either the Company's eligibility to use Form S-8 to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**Securities Act**"), the offering and sale of shares issuable under this Plan by the Company or the Company's compliance with any applicable laws. An Eligible Person who has been granted an award (a "**participant**") may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional awards if the Administrator shall so determine. As used herein, "**Subsidiary**" means any corporation or other entity a majority of whose outstanding voting shares or voting power is beneficially owned directly or indirectly by the Company; and "**Board**" means the Board of Directors of the Company.

**3.** **PLAN ADMINISTRATION** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.1**  ***The Administrator*** . This Plan shall be administered
by and all awards under this Plan shall be authorized by the Administrator. The "**Administrator**" means the Board
or one or more committees appointed by the Board or another committee (within its delegated authority) to administer all or certain aspects
of this Plan. Any such committee shall be comprised solely of one or more directors or such number of directors as may be required
under applicable law. A committee may delegate some or all of its authority to another committee so constituted. The Board
or a committee comprised solely of directors may also delegate, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to one or more officers of
the Company, its powers under this Plan (a) to designate officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who will receive
grants of awards under this Plan, and (b) to determine the number of shares subject to, and the other terms and conditions of, such
awards, in each case within the limits established by the Board or another committee within its delegated authority. The Board
may delegate different levels of authority to different committees with administrative and grant authority under this Plan. Unless
otherwise provided in the applicable charter of the Company or any Administrator: (a) a majority of the members of the acting Administrator
shall constitute a quorum, and (b) the vote of a majority of the members present assuming the presence of a quorum or the unanimous
written consent of the members of the Administrator shall constitute action by the acting Administrator.

Award grants, and transactions in or involving awards, intended to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "**Exchange Act**"), must be duly and timely authorized by the Board or a committee consisting solely of two or more non-employee directors (as this requirement is applied under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act). To the extent required by any applicable listing agency, this Plan shall be administered by a committee composed entirely of independent directors (within the meaning of the applicable listing agency).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.2**  ***Powers of the Administrator*** . Subject to
the express provisions of this Plan, the Administrator is authorized and empowered to do all things necessary or desirable in connection
with the authorization of awards and the administration of this Plan (in the case of a committee or delegation to one or more officers,
within the authority delegated to that committee or person(s)), including, without limitation, the authority to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) determine eligibility and, from among those persons determined
to be eligible, the particular Eligible Persons who will receive an award under this Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) grant awards to Eligible Persons, determine the price at which
securities will be offered or awarded and the number of securities to be offered or awarded to any of such persons, determine the other
specific terms and conditions of such awards consistent with the express limits of this Plan, establish the installments (if any) in
which such awards shall become exercisable or shall vest (which may include, without limitation, performance and/or time-based schedules),
or determine that no delayed exercisability or vesting is required, establish any applicable performance targets, and establish the events
of termination or reversion of such awards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) approve the forms of award agreements (which need not be identical
either as to type of award or among participants);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) construe and interpret this Plan and any agreements defining
the rights and obligations of the Company, its Subsidiaries, and participants under this Plan, further define the terms used in this
Plan, and prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the administration of this Plan or the awards granted under
this Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) cancel, modify, or waive the Company's rights with respect
to, or modify, discontinue, suspend, or terminate any or all outstanding awards, subject to any required consent under Section 8.6.5;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) accelerate or extend the vesting or exercisability or extend
the term of any or all such outstanding awards (in the case of options or share appreciation rights, within the maximum ten-year term
of such awards) in such circumstances as the Administrator may deem appropriate (including, without limitation, in connection with a
termination of employment or services or other events of a personal nature) subject to any required consent under Section 8.6.5;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) adjust the number of Common Shares subject to any award, adjust
the price of any or all outstanding awards or otherwise change previously imposed terms and conditions, in such circumstances as the
Administrator may deem appropriate, in each case subject to Sections 4 and 8.6, and provided that in no case (except due to an adjustment
contemplated by Section 7 or any repricing that may be approved by shareholders) shall such an adjustment constitute a repricing
(by amendment, substitution, cancellation and regrant, exchange for cash or another award or other means) of the per share exercise or
base price of any option or share appreciation right;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) determine the date of grant of an award, which may be a designated
date after but not before the date of the Administrator's action (unless otherwise designated by the Administrator, the date of
grant of an award shall be the date upon which the Administrator took the action granting an award);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) determine whether, and the extent to which, adjustments are
required pursuant to Section 7 hereof and authorize the termination, conversion, substitution or succession of awards upon the occurrence
of an event of the type described in Section 7;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) acquire or settle (subject to Sections 7 and 8.6) rights under
awards in cash, shares of equivalent value, or other consideration;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) determine the fair market value of the Common Shares or awards
under this Plan from time to time and/or the manner in which such value will be determined; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) implement any procedures, steps or additional or different requirements
as may be necessary to comply with any laws of the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") that may be applicable to
this Plan, any Option or any related documents, including, but not limited to, foreign exchange laws, tax laws and securities laws of
the PRC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.3**  ***Binding Determinations*** . Any action taken
by, or inaction of, the Company, any Subsidiary, or the Administrator relating or pursuant to this Plan and within its authority hereunder
or under applicable law shall be within the absolute discretion of that entity or body and shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons. 
Neither the Board, nor any Board committee, nor any member thereof or person acting at the direction thereof, shall be liable for any
act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection with this Plan (or any award made under
this Plan), and all such persons shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss,
damage or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the fullest extent permitted
by law and/or under any directors and officers liability insurance coverage that may be in effect from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.4**  ***Reliance on Experts*** . In making any determination
or in taking or not taking any action under this Plan, the Administrator may obtain and may rely upon the advice of experts, including
employees and professional advisors to the Company. No director, officer or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall
be liable for any such action or determination taken or made or omitted in good faith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.5**  ***Delegation*** . The Administrator may delegate
ministerial, non-discretionary functions to individuals who are officers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to
third parties.

**4.** **COMMON SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN; SHARE LIMITS** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.1**  ***Shares Available*** . Subject to the provisions
of Section 7.1, the shares that may be delivered under this Plan shall be shares of the Company's authorized but unissued
Common Shares and any shares of its Common Shares held as treasury shares. For purposes of this Plan, "**Common Shares** "
shall mean the common shares of the Company and such other securities or property as may become the subject of awards under this Plan,
or may become subject to such awards, pursuant to an adjustment made under Section 7.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.2**  ***Share Limits*** . As of the amendment and restatement
of the Plan on April 8, 2026, the maximum number of Common Shares that may be delivered pursuant to awards granted to Eligible Persons
under this Plan (the "**Share Limit**") is equal to 14,465,048 Common Shares. The Share Limit shall automatically increase
on January 1 of each calendar year during the term of this Plan, commencing with January 1, 2027, by an amount equal to the
lesser of (i) 1% of the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding on December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar
year or (ii) such number of Common Shares as may be established by the Board. As of the amendment and restatement of the Plan on
April 8, 2026, the maximum number of Common Shares that may be delivered pursuant to options qualified as incentive stock options
granted under this Plan is 14,465,048 Common Shares. The maximum number of Common Shares that may be delivered pursuant to options
qualified as incentive stock options granted under this Plan shall automatically increase on January 1 of each calendar year during
the term of this Plan, beginning with January 1, 2027, by 1% of the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding on December 31
of the immediately preceding calendar year. All share numbers set forth herein shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions
of Section 7.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.3**  ***Awards Settled in Cash, Reissue of Awards and Shares*** . 
To the extent that an award granted under this Plan is settled in cash or a form other than Common Shares, the shares that would have
been delivered had there been no such cash or other settlement shall not be counted against the shares available for issuance under this
Plan. In the event that Common Shares are delivered in respect of a dividend equivalent right granted under this Plan, only the actual
number of shares delivered with respect to the award shall be counted against the share limits of this Plan. To the extent that Common
Shares are delivered pursuant to the exercise of a share appreciation right or option granted under this Plan, the number of underlying
shares as to which the exercise related shall be counted against the applicable share limits under Section 4.2, as opposed to only
counting the shares actually issued. (For purposes of clarity, if a share appreciation right relates to 100,000 shares and is exercised
at a time when the payment due to the participant is 15,000 shares, 100,000 shares shall be charged against the applicable share limits
under Section 4.2 with respect to such exercise.) Shares that are subject to or underlie awards granted under this Plan (including
those granted prior to April 8, 2026 under this Plan) which expire or for any reason are cancelled or terminated, are forfeited,
fail to vest, or for any other reason are not paid or delivered under this Plan shall again be available for subsequent awards under
this Plan. Shares that are exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Company as full or partial payment in connection with
any award under this Plan, as well as any shares exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries to
satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to any award, shall not be available for subsequent awards under this Plan. Refer
to Section 8.10 for application of the foregoing share limits with respect to assumed awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
subject to the provisions of Section 7.1 below, in no event shall the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under
the Plan pursuant to incentive stock options exceed the number set forth in Section 4.2 plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "**Code**") and the regulations promulgated there under, any shares
that again become available for issuance pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.4**  ***Reservation of Shares; No Fractional Shares; Minimum Issue*** . 
The Company shall at all times reserve a number of Common Shares sufficient to cover the Company's obligations and contingent obligations
to deliver shares with respect to awards then outstanding under this Plan (exclusive of any dividend equivalent obligations to the extent
the Company has the right to settle such rights in cash). No fractional shares shall be delivered under this Plan. The Administrator
may pay cash in lieu of any fractional shares in settlements of awards under this Plan. No fewer than 100 shares may be purchased
on exercise of any award (or, in the case of share appreciation or purchase rights, no fewer than 100 rights may be exercised at any
one time) unless the total number purchased or exercised is the total number at the time available for purchase or exercise under the
award.

**5.** **AWARDS** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.1**  ***Type and Form of Awards*** . The Administrator
shall determine the type or types of award(s) to be made to each selected Eligible Person. Awards may be granted singly, in
combination or in tandem. Awards also may be made in combination or in tandem with, in replacement of, as alternatives to, or as
the payment form for grants or rights under any other employee or compensation plan of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries. 
The types of awards that may be granted under this Plan are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.1.1 *Stock options***. A stock option is the grant of a right to purchase a specified number of Common Shares during a specified period as determined by the Administrator. An option may be intended as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code (an "**ISO**") or a nonqualified stock option (an option not intended to be an ISO). The award agreement for an option will indicate if the option is intended as an ISO; otherwise it will be deemed to be a nonqualified stock option. The maximum term of each option (ISO or nonqualified) shall be ten (10) years. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the per share exercise price for each option shall be not less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Shares on the date of grant of the option. When an option is exercised, the exercise price for the shares to be purchased shall be paid in full in cash or such other method permitted by the Administrator consistent with Section 5.5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.1.2 *Additional Rules Applicable to ISOs***. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of grant of the applicable option) of shares with respect to which ISOs first become exercisable by a participant in any calendar year exceeds $100,000, taking into account both Common Shares subject to ISOs under this Plan and shares subject to ISOs under all other plans of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries (or any parent or predecessor corporation to the extent required by and within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder), such options shall be treated as nonqualified stock options. In reducing the number of options treated as ISOs to meet the $100,000 limit, the most recently granted options shall be reduced first. To the extent a reduction of simultaneously granted options is necessary to meet the $100,000 limit, the Administrator may, in the manner and to the extent permitted by law, designate which Common Shares are to be treated as shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO. ISOs may only be granted to employees of the Company or one of its subsidiaries (for this purpose, the term "subsidiary" is used as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code, which generally requires an unbroken chain of ownership of at least 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of each subsidiary in the chain beginning with the Company and ending with the subsidiary in question). There shall be imposed in any award agreement relating to ISOs such other terms and conditions as from time to time are required in order that the option be an "incentive stock option" as that term is defined in Section 422 of the Code. No ISO may be granted to any person who, at the time the option is granted, owns (or is deemed to own under Section 424(d) of the Code) shares of outstanding Common Shares possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company, unless the exercise price of such option is at least 110% of the fair market value of the shares subject to the option and such option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such option is granted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.1.3 *Share Appreciation Rights***. A share appreciation right or "**SAR**" is a right to receive a payment, in cash and/or Common Shares, equal to the excess of the fair market value of a specified number of Common Shares on the date the SAR is exercised over the "**base price**" of the award, which base price shall be set forth in the applicable award agreement and shall be not less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Shares on the date of grant of the SAR. The maximum term of a SAR shall be ten (10) years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.1.4 *Other Awards***. The other types of awards that may be granted under this Plan are: (a) share bonuses, restricted shares, performance shares (which may be settled in Common Shares or cash), share units, phantom shares, dividend equivalents, or similar rights to purchase or acquire shares, whether at a fixed or variable price or ratio related to the Common Shares, upon the passage of time, the occurrence of one or more events, or the satisfaction of performance criteria or other conditions, or any combination thereof; or (b) any similar securities with a value derived from the value of or related to the Common Shares and/or returns thereon.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.2**  ***[Reserved.]*** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.3**  ***Award Agreements*** . Each award shall be evidenced
by either (1) a written award agreement in a form approved by the Administrator and executed by the Company by an officer duly authorized
to act on its behalf, or (2) an electronic notice of award grant in a form approved by the Administrator and recorded by the Company
(or its designee) in an electronic recordkeeping system used for the purpose of tracking award grants under this Plan generally (in each
case, an "award agreement"), as the Administrator may provide and, in each case and if required by the Administrator, executed
or otherwise electronically accepted by the recipient of the award in such form and manner as the Administrator may require. The
Administrator may authorize any officer of the Company (other than the particular award recipient) to execute any or all award agreements
on behalf of the Company. The award agreement shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the award as established by
the Administrator consistent with the express limitations of this Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.4**  ***Deferrals and Settlements*** . Payment of awards
may be in the form of cash, Common Shares, other awards or combinations thereof as the Administrator shall determine, and with such restrictions
as it may impose. The Administrator may also require or permit participants to elect to defer the issuance of shares or the settlement
of awards in cash under such rules and procedures as it may establish under this Plan, in any event in compliance with Section 8.1.2
hereof. The Administrator may also provide that deferred settlements include the payment or crediting of interest or other earnings
on the deferral amounts, or the payment or crediting of dividend equivalents where the deferred amounts are denominated in shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.5**  ***Consideration for Common Shares or Awards*** . The purchase price for any award granted under
 this Plan or the Common Shares to be delivered pursuant to an award, as applicable, may be
 paid by means of any lawful consideration as determined by the Administrator, including,
 without limitation, one or a combination of the following methods:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· services
 rendered by the recipient of such award;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· cash,
 check payable to the order of the Company, or electronic funds transfer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· notice
 and third party payment in such manner as may be authorized by the Administrator;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the
 delivery of previously owned Common Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· by
 a reduction in the number of shares otherwise deliverable pursuant to the award; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· subject
 to such procedures as the Administrator may adopt, pursuant to a "cashless exercise"
 with a third party who provides financing for the purposes of (or who otherwise facilitates)
 the purchase or exercise of awards.

In no event shall any Common Shares newly-issued by the Company be issued for less than the minimum lawful consideration for such Common Shares or for consideration other than consideration permitted by applicable law. In the event that the Administrator allows a participant to exercise an award by delivering Common Shares previously owned by such participant and unless otherwise expressly provided by the Administrator, any Common Shares delivered which were initially acquired by the participant from the Company (upon exercise of a stock option or otherwise) must have been owned by the participant for any minimum duration required to avoid financial accounting charges under applicable accounting guidance. Common Shares used to satisfy the exercise price of an option shall be valued at their fair market value on the date of exercise. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Common Shares unless and until it receives full payment of the exercise or purchase price therefor and any related withholding obligations under Section 8.5 and any other conditions to exercise or purchase have been satisfied. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the applicable award agreement, the Administrator may at any time eliminate or limit a participant's ability to pay the purchase or exercise price of any award or Common Shares by any method other than cash payment to the Company. The Administrator may take all actions necessary to alter the method of Option exercise and the exchange and transmittal of proceeds with respect to participants resident in the People's Republic of China ("**PRC**") not having permanent residence in a country other than the PRC in order to comply with applicable PRC foreign exchange and tax regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.6**  ***Definition of Fair Market Value*** . For purposes
of this Plan, "fair market value" shall mean, if the Common Shares are not listed or actively traded on an internationally
recognized securities exchange as of the applicable date, the fair market value as reasonably determined by the Administrator for purposes
of the award in the circumstances. If the Common Shares are listed and actively traded on an internationally recognized securities
exchange, then unless otherwise determined or provided by the Administrator in the circumstances, the "fair market value"
shall mean the last price for an Common Share as furnished by the securities exchange on which the Common Shares are listed for the date
in question or, if no sales of Common Shares were reported on that date, the last price for a Common Share as furnished by the securities
exchange on which the Common Shares are listed for the next preceding day on which sales of Common Shares were reported. The Administrator
also may adopt a different methodology for determining fair market value with respect to one or more awards if a different methodology
is necessary or advisable to secure any intended favorable tax, legal or other treatment for the particular award(s) (for example,
and without limitation, the Administrator may provide that fair market value for purposes of one or more awards will be based on an average
of closing prices (or the average of high and low daily trading prices) for a specified period preceding the relevant date).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.7**  ***Transfer Restrictions*** .

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.7.1 *Limitations on Exercise and Transfer***. Unless otherwise expressly provided in (or pursuant to) this Section 5.7 or required by applicable law: (a) all awards are non-transferable and shall not be subject in any manner to sale, transfer, anticipation, alienation, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge; (b) awards shall be exercised only by the participant; and (c) amounts payable or shares issuable pursuant to any award shall be delivered only to (or for the account of) the participant. In addition, the Common Shares shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in the applicable Option Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.7.2 *Exceptions***. The Administrator may permit awards to be exercised by and paid to, or otherwise transferred to, other persons or entities pursuant to such conditions and procedures, including limitations on subsequent transfers, as the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, establish in writing. Any permitted transfer shall be subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and shall not be for value (other than nominal consideration, settlement of marital property rights, or for interests in an entity in which more than 50% of the voting interests are held by the Eligible Person or by the Eligible Person's family members).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.7.3 *Further Exceptions to Limits on Transfer***. The exercise and transfer restrictions in Section 5.7.1 shall not apply to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) transfers to the Company (for example, in connection with the
expiration or termination of the award),

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the designation of a beneficiary to receive benefits in the
event of the participant's death or, if the participant has died, transfers to or exercise by the participant's beneficiary,
or, in the absence of a validly designated beneficiary, transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) subject to any applicable limitations on ISOs, transfers to
a family member (or former family member) pursuant to a domestic relations order if approved or ratified by the Administrator,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) if the participant has suffered a disability, permitted transfers
or exercises on behalf of the participant by his or her legal representative, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) the authorization by the Administrator of "cashless exercise"
procedures with third parties who provide financing for the purpose of (or who otherwise facilitate) the exercise of awards consistent
with applicable laws and the express authorization of the Administrator.

Anything in this Section 5.7.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to compliance with all applicable laws, ISOs will be subject to any and all transfer restrictions under the Code applicable to such awards or necessary to maintain the intended tax consequences of such Awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.8**  ***International Awards*** . One or more awards
may be granted to Eligible Persons who provide services to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries outside of the United States. 
Any awards granted to such persons may be granted pursuant to the terms and conditions of any applicable sub-plans, if any, appended
to this Plan and approved by the Administrator.

**6.** **EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE ON AWARDS** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.1**  ***General*** . The Administrator shall establish
the effect of a termination of employment or service on the rights and benefits under each award under this Plan and in so doing may
make distinctions based upon, inter alia, the cause of termination and type of award. If the participant is not an employee of
the Company or one of its Subsidiaries and provides other services to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, the Administrator shall
be the sole judge for purposes of this Plan (unless a contract or the award otherwise provides) of whether the participant continues
to render services to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries and the date, if any, upon which such services shall be deemed to have terminated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.2**  ***Events Not Deemed Terminations of Service*** . 
Unless the express policy of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, or the Administrator, otherwise provides, the employment relationship
shall not be considered terminated in the case of (a) sick leave, (b) military leave, or (c) any other leave of absence
authorized by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, or the Administrator; provided that, if a participant is holding an ISO and such
leave exceeds three months then, for purposes of ISO status only, such participant's service as an employee shall be deemed terminated
on the first day following such three-month period and the ISO shall thereafter automatically become a nonqualified stock option in accordance
with applicable laws, unless reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute, or unless otherwise
provided pursuant to written Company policy. In the case of any employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries on an approved
leave of absence, continued vesting of the award while on leave from the employ of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries may be suspended
until the employee returns to service, unless the Administrator or the Company or one of its Subsidiaries otherwise provides (including
by written policy) or applicable law otherwise requires. In no event shall an award be exercised after the expiration of the term
set forth in the applicable award agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.3**  ***Effect of Change of Subsidiary Status*** . For
purposes of this Plan and any award, if an entity ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company a termination of employment or service shall
be deemed to have occurred with respect to each Eligible Person in respect of such Subsidiary who does not continue as an Eligible Person
in respect of another entity within the Company or another Subsidiary that continues as such after giving effect to the transaction or
other event giving rise to the change in status.

**7.** **ADJUSTMENTS; ACCELERATION** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.1**  ***Adjustments*** . Subject to Section 7.2,
upon (or, as may be necessary to effect the adjustment, immediately prior to): any reclassification, recapitalization, share split (including
a share split in the form of a share dividend) or reverse share split; any merger, combination, consolidation, or other reorganization;
any spin-off, split-up, or similar extraordinary dividend distribution in respect of the Common Shares; or any exchange of Common Shares
or other securities of the Company, or any similar, unusual or extraordinary corporate transaction in respect of the Common Shares; then
the Administrator shall equitably and proportionately adjust (1) the number and type of Common Shares (or other securities) that
thereafter may be made the subject of awards (including the specific share limits, maximums and numbers of shares set forth elsewhere
in this Plan), (2) the number, amount and type of Common Shares (or other securities or property) subject to any outstanding awards,
(3) the grant, purchase, or exercise price (which term includes the base price of any SAR or similar right) of any outstanding awards,
and/or (4) the securities, cash or other property deliverable upon exercise or payment of any outstanding awards, in each case to
the extent necessary to preserve (but not increase) the level of incentives intended by this Plan and the then-outstanding awards.

Unless otherwise expressly provided in the applicable award agreement, upon (or, as may be necessary to effect the adjustment, immediately prior to) any event or transaction described in the preceding paragraph or a sale of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company as an entirety, the Administrator shall equitably and proportionately adjust the performance standards applicable to any then-outstanding performance-based awards to the extent necessary to preserve (but not increase) the level of incentives intended by the Plan and the then-outstanding performance-based awards.

It is intended that, if possible, any adjustments contemplated by the preceding two paragraphs be made in a manner that satisfies applicable legal, tax (including, without limitation and as applicable in the circumstances, Section 424 of the Code and Section 409A of the Code) and accounting (so as to not trigger any charge to earnings with respect to such adjustment) requirements.

Without limiting the generality of Section 3.3, any good faith determination by the Administrator as to whether an adjustment is required in the circumstances pursuant to this Section 7.1, and the extent and nature of any such adjustment, shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.2**  ***Corporate Transactions - Assumption and Termination of Awards*** . Upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each, a "**Change of Control** "): any merger,
combination, consolidation, or other reorganization; any exchange of Common Shares or other securities of the Company; a sale of all
or substantially all the business, shares or assets of the Company; a dissolution of the Company; or any other event in which the Company
does not survive (or does not survive as a public company in respect of its Common Shares); then the Administrator may make provision
for either (i) a cash payment in full settlement of any or all outstanding vested share-based awards outstanding under this Plan,
(ii) the termination of any or all outstanding share-based awards outstanding under this Plan without the payment or provision of
any consideration, or (iii) the assumption, substitution or exchange of any or all outstanding share-based awards or the cash, securities
or property deliverable to the holder of any or all outstanding share-based awards, in each case based upon, to the extent relevant under
the circumstances, the distribution or consideration payable to holders of the Common Shares upon or in respect of such Change of Control. 
Upon the occurrence of any Change of Control, unless the Administrator has made a provision for the substitution, assumption, exchange
or other continuation or settlement of the award or the award would otherwise continue in accordance with its terms in the circumstances:
(1) subject to Section 7.4 and unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, each then-outstanding option and
SAR may, as the Administrator shall determine, become fully vested, all shares of restricted shares then outstanding may, as the
Administrator shall determine, fully vest free of restrictions, and each other award granted under this Plan that is then outstanding
may, as the Administrator shall determine, become payable to the holder of such award; and (2) each award shall terminate and be
deemed cancelled upon the occurrence of a Change of Control; provided that the holder of an option or SAR shall be given reasonable advance
notice of the impending termination and a reasonable opportunity to exercise his or her outstanding vested options and SARs (after giving
effect to any applicable accelerated vesting) in accordance with their terms before the termination of such awards (except that in no
case shall more than ten days' notice of the impending termination be required and any acceleration of vesting and any exercise
of any portion of an award that is so accelerated may be made contingent upon the actual occurrence of the event). For the avoidance
of doubt if the per share price for a Common Share in any such Change of Control transaction equals or exceeds the relevant exercise
price of any outstanding (vested or unvested) option or SAR, then the Administrator shall be empowered to terminate and cancel such outstanding
option or SAR without the payment of any consideration whatsoever without the consent of the holder thereof. Upon the occurrence
of any Change of Control where the Administrator has made a provision for the substitution, assumption, exchange or other continuation
or settlement of the award or the award would otherwise continue in accordance with its terms in the circumstances, if the Participant
is terminated without cause within 24 months of such Change of Control transaction, then, in the sole discretion of the Administrator,
each then-outstanding option and SAR may become fully vested, all shares of restricted shares then outstanding shall fully vest
free of restrictions, and each other award granted under this Plan that is then outstanding shall become payable to the holder of such
award.

Without limiting the preceding paragraph, in connection with any event referred to in the preceding paragraph or any Change of Control event defined in any applicable award agreement, the Administrator may, in its discretion, provide for the accelerated vesting of any award or awards as and to the extent determined by the Administrator in the circumstances.

The Administrator may adopt such valuation methodologies for outstanding awards as it deems reasonable in the event of a cash or property settlement and, in the case of options, SARs or similar rights, but without limitation on other methodologies, may base such settlement solely upon the excess if any of the per share amount payable upon or in respect of such event over the exercise or base price of the award.

In any of the events referred to in this Section 7.2, the Administrator may take such action contemplated by this Section 7.2 prior to such event (as opposed to on the occurrence of such event) to the extent that the Administrator deems the action necessary to permit the participant to realize the benefits intended to be conveyed with respect to the underlying shares. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator may deem an acceleration to occur immediately prior to the applicable event and/or reinstate the original terms of the award if an event giving rise to an acceleration does not occur.

Without limiting the generality of Section 3.3, any good faith determination by the Administrator pursuant to its authority under this Section 7.2 shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.3**  ***Other Acceleration Rules*** . The Administrator
may override the provisions of Section 7.2 and/or 7.4 by express provision in the award agreement and may accord any Eligible Person
a right to refuse any acceleration, whether pursuant to the award agreement or otherwise, in such circumstances as the Administrator
may approve. The portion of any ISO accelerated in connection with an event referred to in Section 7.2 (or such other circumstances
as may trigger accelerated vesting of the award) shall remain exercisable as an ISO only to the extent the applicable $100,000 limitation
on ISOs is not exceeded. To the extent exceeded, the accelerated portion of the option shall be exercisable as a nonqualified stock
option under the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.4**  ***Golden Parachute Limitation*** . Notwithstanding
anything else contained in this Section 7 to the contrary, in no event shall any award or payment be accelerated under this Plan
to an extent or in a manner so that such award or payment, together with any other compensation and benefits provided to, or for the
benefit of, the participant under any other plan or agreement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, would not be fully deductible
by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries for federal income tax purposes because of Section 280G of the Code. If a participant
would be entitled to benefits or payments hereunder and under any other plan or program that would constitute "parachute payments"
as defined in Section 280G of the Code, then such parachute payments will be reduced or modified so that the Company or one of its
Subsidiaries is not denied federal income tax deductions for any "parachute payments" because of Section 280G of the
Code in the following order of priority: (i) Full Credit Payments (as defined below) that are payable in cash, (ii) non-cash
Full Credit Payments that are taxable, (iii) non-cash Full Credit Payments that are not taxable, (iv) Partial Credit Payments
(as defined below), (v) non-cash employee welfare benefits and (vi) options whose exercise price exceeds the fair market value
of the underlying shares. In each case, reductions shall be made in reverse chronological order such that the payment or benefit
owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering the parachute payment will be the first payment or benefit to
be reduced (with reductions made pro-rata in the event payments or benefits are owed at the same time). For purposes of this Plan,
 "**Full Credit Payment**" means a payment, distribution or benefit, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable
pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise, that if reduced in value by one dollar reduces the amount of the parachute payment by
one dollar, determined as if such payment, distribution or benefit had been paid or distributed on the date of the event triggering the
parachute payment. For purposes of this Plan, "**Partial Credit Payment**" means any payment, distribution or benefit
that is not a Full Credit Payment. In no event shall a participant have any discretion with respect to the ordering of payment
reductions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a participant is a party to an employment or other agreement with the Company or
one of its Subsidiaries, or is a participant in a severance program sponsored by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, that contains
express provisions regarding Section 280G and/or Section 4999 of the Code (or any similar successor provision), or the applicable
award agreement includes such provisions, the Section 280G and/or Section 4999 provisions of such employment or other agreement
or plan, as applicable, shall control as to the awards held by that participant (for example, and without limitation, a participant may
be a party to an employment agreement with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that provides for a "gross-up" as opposed
to a "cut-back" in the event that the Section 280G thresholds are reached or exceeded in connection with a change in
control and, in such event, the Section 280G and/or Section 4999 provisions of such employment agreement shall control as to
any awards held by that participant).

**8.** **OTHER PROVISIONS** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.1**  ***Compliance with Laws*** . This Plan, the granting
and vesting of awards under this Plan, the offer, issuance and delivery of Common Shares, and/or the payment of money under this Plan
or under awards are subject to compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to state and
federal securities law and federal margin requirements) and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as
may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. The person acquiring any securities
under this Plan will, if requested by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, provide such assurances and representations to the Company
or one of its Subsidiaries as the Administrator may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal and accounting
requirements.

No participant shall sell, pledge or otherwise transfer Common Shares acquired pursuant to an award or any interest in such shares except in accordance with the express terms of this Plan and the applicable award agreement. Any attempted transfer in violation of this Section 8 shall be void and of no effect. Without in any way limiting the provisions set forth above, no participant shall make any disposition of all or any portion of Common Shares acquired or to be acquired pursuant to an award, except in compliance with all applicable laws, including applicable securities laws, and unless and until, if applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) such disposition is made in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) such participant notifies the Company of the proposed disposition and furnishes the Company with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and, if requested by the Company, furnishes to the Company an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company's counsel, that such disposition will not require registration under the Securities Act and will be in compliance with all applicable laws, including applicable securities laws.

Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, neither the Company or any affiliate has any obligation to register the Common Shares or file any registration statement under any applicable laws, nor does the Company or any affiliate make any representation concerning the likelihood of a public offering of the Common Shares or any other securities of the Company or any affiliate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.2**  ***No Rights to Award*** . No person shall have
any claim or rights to be granted an award (or additional awards, as the case may be) under this Plan, subject to any express contractual
rights (set forth in a document other than this Plan) to the contrary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.3**  ***No Employment/Service Contract*** . Nothing
contained in this Plan (or in any other documents under this Plan or in any award) shall confer upon any Eligible Person or other person
any right to continue in the employ or other service of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, constitute any contract or agreement
of employment or other service or affect an employee's status as an employee at will, nor shall interfere in any way with the right
of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries to change a person's compensation or other benefits, or to terminate his or her employment
or other service, with or without cause. Nothing in this Section 8.3, however, is intended to adversely affect any express
independent right of such person under a separate employment or service contract other than an award agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.4**  ***Plan Not Funded*** . Awards payable under this
Plan shall be payable in shares or from the general assets of the Company, and no special or separate reserve, fund or deposit shall
be made to assure payment of such awards. No participant, beneficiary or other person shall have any right, title or interest in
any fund or in any specific asset (including Common Shares, except as expressly otherwise provided) of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries
by reason of any award hereunder. Neither the provisions of this Plan (or of any related documents), nor the creation or adoption
of this Plan, nor any action taken pursuant to the provisions of this Plan shall create, or be construed to create, a trust of any kind
or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or one of its Subsidiaries and any participant, beneficiary or other person. To
the extent that a participant, beneficiary or other person acquires a right to receive payment pursuant to any award hereunder, such
right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.5**  ***Taxes*** . As a condition of the grant, exercise,
vesting, settlement or payment of any award, or upon the disposition of Common Shares acquired pursuant to any award, the Company or
one of its Subsidiaries shall have the right at its option to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) require the participant (or the participant's permitted
transferee, personal representative or beneficiary, as the case may be) to make such arrangements as the Company or one of its Subsidiaries
may require for the satisfaction of any applicable tax, including, without limitation, any federal, state, local or foreign tax, withholding,
and any other required deductions or payments that may arise in connection with such award, event or payment; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) to the extent permitted under applicable laws, permit a participant
(or the participant's permitted transferee, personal representative or beneficiary, as the case may be) to satisfy all or part
of his or her tax, withholding, or any other required deductions or payments by deducting from any shares or amount otherwise payable
or distributed pursuant to the award (a "cashless exercise"), or by surrendering shares (either directly or by stock attestation)
that he or she previously acquired; provided that, unless specifically permitted by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, any such
deduction must be an approved broker-assisted cashless exercise or the shares withheld in the cashless exercise must be limited to avoid
financial accounting charges under applicable accounting guidance and/or any such surrendered shares must have been previously held for
any minimum duration required to avoid financial accounting charges under applicable accounting guidance, and any payment of taxes by
surrendering shares may be subject to restrictions, including, but not limited to, any restrictions required by rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

In addition, the Company may, with the Administrator's approval, accept one or more promissory notes from any Eligible Person in connection with taxes required to be withheld upon the grant, exercise, vesting, settlement or payment of any award under this Plan; provided that any such note shall be subject to terms and conditions established by the Administrator and the requirements of applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.6**  ***Effective Date, Termination and Suspension, Amendments*** .

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.6.1 *Effective Date***. The amendment and restatement of this Plan is effective as of April 8, 2026, the date of its approval by the Board (the "**Effective Date**"). Unless earlier terminated by the Board, this Plan shall terminate at the close of business on the day before the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. After the termination of this Plan either upon such stated expiration date or its earlier termination by the Board, no additional awards may be granted under this Plan, but previously granted awards (and the authority of the Administrator with respect thereto, including the authority to amend such awards) shall remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable terms and conditions and the terms and conditions of this Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.6.2 *Board Authorization***. The Board may, at any time, terminate or, from time to time, amend, modify or suspend this Plan, in whole or in part. No awards may be granted during any period that the Board suspends this Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.6.3 *Shareholder Approval***. To the extent then required by applicable law or any applicable listing agency or required under Sections 422 or 424 of the Code to preserve the intended tax consequences of this Plan, or deemed necessary or advisable by the Board, any amendment to this Plan shall be subject to shareholder approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any option "repricing" or similar event shall be subject to prior shareholder approval.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.6.4 *Amendments to Awards***. Without limiting any other express authority of the Administrator under (but subject to) the express limits of this Plan, the Administrator by agreement or resolution may waive conditions of or limitations on awards to participants that the Administrator in the prior exercise of its discretion has imposed, without the consent of a participant, and (subject to the requirements of Sections 3.2 and 8.6.5) may make other changes to the terms and conditions of awards. Any amendment or other action that would constitute a repricing of an award is subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.2(g).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.6.5 *Limitations on Amendments to Plan and Awards***. No amendment, suspension or termination of this Plan or amendment of any outstanding award agreement shall, without written consent of the participant, affect in any manner materially adverse to the participant any rights or benefits of the participant or obligations of the Company under any award granted under this Plan prior to the effective date of such change. Changes, settlements and other actions contemplated by Section 7 shall not be deemed to constitute changes or amendments for purposes of this Section 8.6.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.7**  ***Privileges of Share Ownership*** . Except as
otherwise expressly authorized by the Administrator, a participant shall not be entitled to any privilege of share ownership as to any
Common Shares not actually delivered to and held of record by the participant. Except as expressly required by Section 7.1
or otherwise expressly provided by the Administrator, no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights as a shareholder for which
a record date is prior to such date of delivery.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.8**  ***Governing Law; Construction; Severability*** .

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.8.1 *Choice of Law***. This Plan, the awards, all documents evidencing awards and all other related documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.8.2 *Severability***. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Plan shall continue in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.8.3 *Plan Construction.*** Rule 16b-3. It is the intent of the Company that the awards and transactions permitted by awards be interpreted in a manner that, in the case of participants who are or may be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, qualify, to the maximum extent compatible with the express terms of the award, for exemption from matching liability under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability to any participant for Section 16 consequences of awards or events under awards if an award or event does not so qualify.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.9**  ***Captions*** . Captions and headings are given
to the sections and subsections of this Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed
in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of this Plan or any provision thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.10**  ***Share-Based Awards in Substitution for Stock Options or Awards Granted by Other Company*** . Awards may be granted to Eligible Persons in substitution for or in connection with an
assumption of stock options, SARs, restricted shares or other share-based awards granted by other entities to persons who are or who
will become Eligible Persons in respect of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, in connection with a distribution, merger or other
reorganization by or with the granting entity or an affiliated entity, or the acquisition by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries,
directly or indirectly, of all or a substantial part of the shares or assets of the granting entity or an affiliated entity. The
awards so granted need not comply with other specific terms of this Plan, provided the awards reflect only adjustments giving effect
to the assumption or substitution consistent with the conversion applicable to the Common Shares in the transaction and any change in
the issuer of the security. Any shares that are delivered and any awards that are granted by, or become obligations of, the Company,
as a result of the assumption by the Company of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an acquired company
or an affiliate thereof (or previously granted by a predecessor employer (or direct or indirect parent thereof) in the case of persons
that become employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries in connection with a business or asset acquisition or similar transaction)
shall not be counted against the Share Limit or other limits on the number of shares available for issuance under this Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.11**  ***Non-Exclusivity of Plan*** . Nothing in this
Plan shall limit or be deemed to limit the authority of the Board or the Administrator to grant awards or authorize any other compensation,
with or without reference to the Common Shares, under any other plan or authority.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.12**  ***No Corporate Action Restriction*** . The existence
of this Plan, the award agreements and the awards granted hereunder shall not limit, affect or restrict in any way the right or power
of the Board or the shareholders of the Company to make or authorize: (a) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other
change in the capital structure or business of the Company or any Subsidiary, (b) any merger, amalgamation, consolidation or change
in the ownership of the Company or any Subsidiary, (c) any issue of bonds, debentures, capital, preferred or prior preference shares
ahead of or affecting the capital shares (or the rights thereof) of the Company or any Subsidiary, (d) any dissolution or liquidation
of the Company or any Subsidiary, (e) any sale or transfer of all or any part of the assets or business of the Company or any Subsidiary,
or (f) any other corporate act or proceeding by the Company or any Subsidiary. No participant, beneficiary or any other person
shall have any claim under any award or award agreement against any member of the Board or the Administrator, or the Company or any employees,
officers or agents of the Company or any Subsidiary, as a result of any such action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.13**  ***Other Company Benefit and Compensation Programs*** . 
Payments and other benefits received by a participant under an award made pursuant to this Plan shall not be deemed a part of a participant's
compensation for purposes of the determination of benefits under any other employee welfare or benefit plans or arrangements, if any,
provided by the Company or any Subsidiary, except where the Administrator expressly otherwise provides or authorizes in writing. 
Awards under this Plan may be made in addition to, in combination with, as alternatives to or in payment of grants, awards or commitments
under any other plans or arrangements of the Company or its Subsidiaries.
