If the claims secured by the maximum mortgage from Party A remain partially unsatisfied upon expiration of the insurance period, Party A shall renew the insurance and extend the insurance period accordingly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.4 Party A shall, within <u>five (5)</u> business days from the execution date of this Contract (or the date of completion of the insurance renewal if the insurance for the mortgaged properties is renewed), submit to Party B original insurance policies for the mortgaged properties as well as other documents required for the insurance claims or assignment of the insurance interests. If an insured event happens to any mortgaged property, Party A shall immediately notify the insurer and Party B and file a claim against the insurer. If Party A fails to do so in a timely manner, Party A shall be liable for any loss thereby suffered by Party B.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.5 Party B may dispose of the insurance proceeds received in connection with any mortgaged property by any of the following methods and Party A shall assist Party B in completing the relevant procedures:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1 Without the written consent of Party B, Party A shall not transfer or otherwise dispose of the mortgaged properties, including but not limited to abandonment, leasing (including renewal upon expiration of original lease contracts), gifting, establishment of residential rights, establishment of trusts, exchange, capital contribution, subsequent creation of security interests, relocation, conversion to public welfare use, attachment to or incorporation with other properties, reconstruction, or division.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2 Disposal of the price or proceeds received by Party A from the disposal of the mortgaged properties

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. If any mortgaged property is real property, with the written consent of Party B, the price or other proceeds received by Party A from the disposal of the mortgaged property shall be deposited into a bank account designated by Party B. Party B has the right to dispose of such proceeds by any of the methods specified in items 2 to 4 of Article 6.5 hereof, and Party A shall assist Party B in completing the relevant procedures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. If any mortgaged property is movable property, with the written consent of Party B or if the purchaser of the mortgaged property acquires the mortgaged property by paying a reasonable price in the ordinary course of Party A's business even without the written consent of Party B, the price or other proceeds received by Party A from the disposal of the mortgaged property shall be deposited into a bank account designated by Party B. Party B has the right to dispose of such proceeds by any of the methods specified in items 2 to 4 of Article 6.5 hereof, and Party A shall assist Party B in completing the relevant procedures.

**Article 8** Third-Party Interference

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1 If the mortgaged properties are expropriated, requisitioned, demolished, confiscated, or reclaimed without compensation, by the government, or are attached, frozen, seized, placed under supervision, subject to a lien, auctioned, forcibly occupied, damaged, or otherwise disposed of by a third party, Party A shall immediately notify Party B and promptly take preventive, removal, or remedial measures to prevent any further loss. Party A shall, at the request of Party B, provide new security acceptable to Party B.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.2 The remaining portion of the mortgaged properties upon occurrence of the foregoing circumstance shall continue to serve as security for Party B's claims. All compensation or indemnity payments received by Party A under the foregoing circumstance shall be deposited into a bank account designated by Party B. Party B has the right to dispose of such payments by any of the methods specified in items 1 to 4 of Article 6.5 hereof, and Party A shall assist Party B in completing the relevant procedures.

**Article 9** Exercise of Mortgage Rights

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.1 If Party B exercises its security rights due to the Debtor's failure to perform any debts due or declared due under the Principal Contracts, or breach of any other provisions of the Principal Contracts, or involvement in any circumstance that impairs Party B's claims under the Principal Contracts, Party B may dispose of the mortgaged properties, including but not limited to auctioning or selling the mortgaged properties in its sole discretion and having priority in receiving payment from the proceeds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.2 The value of the mortgaged properties specified in the List of Mortgaged Properties herein or otherwise agreed upon by the parties ("Provisional Value"), whether or not recorded in the register of the registration authority, shall not constitute the final value of the mortgaged properties. The final value of the mortgaged properties shall be the proceeds received by Party B from disposal thereof, net of all applicable taxes and fees.

If the mortgaged properties are used to offset Party B's claims, such Provisional Value shall not serve as the basis for determining the offset amount. The actual value of the mortgaged properties shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties or determined through a fair valuation conducted in accordance with the law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.3 The proceeds received by Party B from the disposal of the mortgaged properties shall, after deducting all costs and expenses incurred in the sale or auction process (including but not limited to storage fees, appraisal fees, auction fees, ownership transfer fees, taxes, and land premiums paid in exchange for state-owned land use rights), first be used to repay the outstanding debts under the Principal Contracts, with any remaining balance to be refunded to Party A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.4 If Party A and the Debtor are the same person, Party B may apply for enforcement against Party A's assets other than the mortgaged properties, without being obligated to waive its mortgage rights, or first dispose of the mortgaged properties as a precondition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.5 Party A shall not hinder Party B's exercise of its mortgage rights in any manner including through acts or omissions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.6 Regardless of whether there are any other security arrangements (including but not limited to guaranty, mortgages, pledges, letters of guarantee, or standby L/Cs) for Party B's claims under the Principal Contracts, regardless of when such other arrangements are established, whether they are valid, and whether Party B has made claims against other security providers, and regardless of whether any third party agrees to assume all or part of the debts under the Principal Contracts or whether such other arrangements are provided by the Debtor, Party A's obligations hereunder shall not be reduced or exempted, and Party B may directly hold Party A liable for the debts within the scope of the secured obligations. Party A undertakes not to claim that Party B should first exercise its claims against the real security provided by the Debtor or the security provided by other security providers, and Party A agrees that Party B may determine, in its sole discretion, the order of exercising its security interests, and Party A shall not have any objection thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.7 If the maximum amount of the secured obligations agreed herein is lower than the outstanding amount of claims under the Principal Contracts, and the claims under the Principal Contracts remain partially unsatisfied after Party A fulfills its obligations hereunder, then Party A undertakes that any exercise (including advance exercise) of its right of subrogation or recourse against the Debtor or other security providers shall not prejudice any interests of Party B and that the settlement of debts under the Principal Contracts shall take precedence over the exercise of Party A's right of subrogation or recourse.

Specifically, prior to the full satisfaction of Party B's claims,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Party A agrees not to claim any right of subrogation or recourse against the Debtor or other security providers; and if Party A receives any payment by exercising such right for any reason whatsoever, the payment so received shall first be used to satisfy Party B's outstanding claims;
