 3 

 In accordance with relevant laws and regulations of the PRC and after an amicable negotiation based on mutual
consents, the Parties agree as follows: 
  
  
 

 
 Chapter 1 Scope of Guarantee, Guaranteed Indebtedness and Term of Guarantee 

 
 Clause 1 Pursuant to the provisions of the Chery Guarantee Deed, Chery has agreed to provide an irrevocable,
unconditional and joint guarantee to the Lender for 100% of the indebtedness of Qoros under the Loan Agreement subject to the clauses of the Chery Guarantee Deed. Such guarantee provided by Chery under the Chery Guarantee Deed shall include but not
limited to: 
  
  
 

 
 (1) Principal in the consortium loan under Loan Agreement which is equivalent to RMB Seven Hundred Million (RMB
700,000,000); 
  
 

 
 (2) Interest incurred by principal in the consortium loan (including legal interest, contract interest, compound interest
and default interest); 
 

 
 (3) Payment is not made by Borrower as regulated by Loan Agreement; 
 

 
 (4) Compensation, penalty and damage awards incurred due to the noncompliance with any provisions in the Loan Agreement by
Borrower; 
 

 
 (5) Notary fee, audit fee, expert verification fee, property preservation fee, brief fee, attorney fee and execution fee as
well as other relevant fees paid by Lender for the implementation of creditor’s rights; 
 

 

  
 4 

 Chery shall bear joint liability of all debts for Borrower within the purview of guarantee outlined in Clause 1
above, including debt cleared off in advance by Borrower due to its default at the request of Lender according to Loan Agreement (collectively the “Chery Secured Indebtedness”). 
 

 
 Clause 2 Pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee Contract, Kenon agrees to provide an irrevocable and – in
accordance with this Guarantee Contract—unconditional guarantee to Chery for up to 50% of the Chery Secured Indebtedness under the Chery Guarantee Deed (such 50% of the Chery Secured Indebtedness under the Chery Guarantee Deed hereinafter
referred to as the “Kenon Secured Indebtedness”), provided that Qoros shall request the Lender to drawdown up to RMB 350,000,000 (three hundred fifty million) pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the “Agreement regarding the
Shareholders’ Guarantee for Qoros” and the Qoros 2015 BOD Resolution No. 7. 
 The Kenon Secured Indebtedness shall include but be limited
to: 
  

	 	(i)	50% of the principal drawn down by Qoros from the Lender in relation to the Facility granted to Qoros under the Loan Agreement; 

  

	 	(ii)	50% of the unpaid or accumulated interest in relation to the Facility granted to Qoros under the Loan Agreement (however, such unpaid or accumulated interest guaranteed by Kenon under this Guarantee Contract shall be,
at maximum, RMB 27,300,000); and 

  

	 	(iii)	50% of any and all related fees payable arising from such principal (however, such related fees guaranteed by Kenon under this Guarantee Contract shall be, at maximum, RMB 2,700,000). 

The amounts specified under Item (i), Item (ii) and Item (iii) shall, in total, be collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Total
Amount”, and may be adjusted in accordance with Clause 12 below. If the amount specified either in Item (ii) or Item (iii) is exceeded, Kenon and Chery will discuss the matter amicably and try to find a solution acceptable for
both Parties but without any right or obligation for either Party to claim or be liable in excess beyond the amounts specified either in Items (i) to (iii) above under this Guarantee Contract. 

  
 5 

 If a portion of the fees under Items (ii) and (iii) is attributed to the noncompliance with the
representations, warranties and covenants solely by Chery under the Chery Guarantee Deed, Kenon shall not be liable for that portion. 
 The Parties
acknowledge that in an Event of Default by Qoros under the Loan Agreement (as defined therein) and amounts payable in respect of such Event of Default could exceed the limits specified above (in the sole discretion of Chery), Chery may make any
payments in respect of the Facility or related expenses under the Loan Agreement whether voluntarily or at the request of the Lender and Kenon shall be obligated to pay 50% of that payment to Chery, subject to the limits set forth under Items (i),
(ii) and (iii) above. 
 The Parties enter into this Guarantee Contract based on the understanding that they both need to approve any drawdowns by
Qoros under the Loan Agreement beyond RMB 350,000,000 (three hundred fifty million). The Parties agree that they will not authorize Qoros to drawdown additional amounts beyond RMB 350,000,000 (three hundred fifty million) under the Loan Agreement
unless (a) Kenon agrees to provide an additional guarantee in respect of 50% of such additional drawdowns (i.e. up to RMB 175 million of the principal Facility as well as any additional amounts, such as interest and fees in respect
thereof, subject however to the limits specified in items (ii) and (iii) above) and (b) Chery and Kenon approve in writing of any Qoros drawdown. 

For the avoidance of doubt, any drawdowns of Qoros under the Loan Agreement beyond RMB 350,000,000 (three hundred fifty million) will require the aforesaid
prior written approval of Kenon in order for the guarantee by Kenon in respect to those amounts to be effective and binding upon Kenon in respect of this Guarantee Contract. 
 

 
  
 

 
  
 

 
  
 

 

  
 6 

 

 
 Clause 3 In case Qoros fails to pay any due and payable Chery Secured Indebtedness on any due date or any Event of
Default under the Loan Agreement occurs and the payment ability of Qoros could be strongly affected, and in each case Chery pays off such Chery Secured Indebtedness to the Lender in accordance with the Chery Guarantee Deed, Kenon shall pay to Chery
50% (and not more than the Total Amount or an adjusted ratio or amount in accordance with Clause 12 below) of the amount of the Chery Secured Indebtedness actually paid by Chery to the Lender within thirty (30) Business Days upon the receipt of
a written notice from Chery to a bank account designated by Chery. If Kenon pays the Kenon Secured Indebtedness in USD, Kenon shall ensure that the amount received by Chery shall be the RMB equivalent of 50% of the sums paid by Chery to the Lender
for Chery Secured Indebtedness. 

  
 7 

 

 
 Clause 4 Chery shall provide Kenon with all documents to prove the Chery Secured Indebtedness paid off to the Lender
for the purpose of Kenon’s guarantee payable under this Guarantee Contract and that the amount of the Chery Secured Indebtedness paid by Chery to Lender has reduced the amount payable by Qoros in respect of the Loan Agreement and the Facility.

 

 
 Clause 5 The term of this Guarantee Contract shall commence from the effectiveness of the Chery Guarantee Deed (a
signed and sealed execution copy of which together with a signed and sealed execution copy of the Loan Agreement must be provided by Chery to Kenon prior to the Parties executing this Guarantee Contract) or the effective date of this Guarantee
Contract, whichever is earlier, until ten (10) days after the Chery Guarantee Term under the Chery Guarantee Deed, or two (2) years after Chery performs the Chery Secured Indebtednesses owed by Chery under the Chery Guarantee Deed,
whichever is later. This Guarantee Contract will become null and void after the term of this Guarantee Contract as set forth above is expired. Clause 18 and 19 shall remain valid and survive the expiration of the term of this Guarantee Contract.

 

 

  
 8 

 Chapter 2 Nature and Effectiveness of Guarantee 

 
 Clause 6 The guarantee under this Guarantee Contract is an exclusive guarantee with continuance and full
effectiveness provided by Kenon to Chery and shall not be a joint and several guarantee to the Chery Guarantee Deed which Chery provided to the Lender a and/or any other guarantee or security provided to the Lender or the Lender in relation to the
Loan Agreement. Chery may only claim against Kenon under this Guarantee Contract if and after Chery has fulfilled its obligations and actually paid its guaranteed amount towards the Lender under the Chery Guarantee Deed and shown that the amount of
the Chery Secured Indebtedness paid by Chery to Lender has reduced the amount payable by Qoros in respect of the Loan Agreement and the Facility. 
 

 
 Kenon’s guarantee obligation under this Guarantee Contract supplements and replaces Kenon’s promises under the
“Agreement regarding the Shareholders’ Guarantee for Qoros”. For no intents and purposes shall Kenon’s guarantee obligation under this Guarantee Contract and under the “Agreement regarding the Shareholders’ Guarantee
for Qoros” be considered additional to one another. 
 

 
 Clause 7 The effectiveness of this Guarantee Contract shall not be affected by either of the liquidation, merger,
spin-off, restructuring, bankruptcy or any other form of change of the organizational chart of Kenon or other arrangements made to Qoros’s indebtedness. This Guarantee Contract shall terminate as of the date Quantum ceases to be a shareholder
of Qoros, provided that the assignee of Quantum’s equity in Qoros unconditionally undertakes the liability and obligation of Kenon hereunder pro rata in accordance with the equity ratio assignment and based on equal terms with this Guarantee
Contract with Chery’s consent in writing. Also, the ratio and Total Amount of the Kenon Secured Indebtedness shall be adjusted pro rata in accordance with any adjustment of the equity ratio held by Quantum in Qoros during the term of the
Guarantee Contract (e.g. if the equity of Quantum in Qoros adjusts to 40%, Kenon shall only guarantee for 40% of the Chery Secured Indebtedness under the Chery Guarantee Deed) subject to the written 

  
 9 

 
agreement among Kenon, Chery and the assignee in question. However, a written agreement is not necessary once the shareholding of Quantum and Wuhu Chery in Qoros is decreased due to dilution
(decrease of shareholdings due to issuance of new securities) in case of an IPO of Qoros. 
 

 
 Clause 8 This Guarantee Contract is independent of the Loan Agreement but is dependent on the effectiveness of the
Chery Guarantee Deed. The effectiveness of this Guarantee Contract and the obligations and liabilities of Kenon hereunder shall not be affected by the fact that the Loan Agreement becomes null or rescinded for whatsoever reason. The effectiveness of
this Guarantee Contract and the obligations and liabilities of Kenon hereunder shall be null and void if the Chery Guarantee Deed becomes null or rescinded for whatsoever reason. 
 

 
 Clause 9 This Guarantee Contract and any of the rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall not be
transferred by a Party hereof to any third party without prior written consent of the other Party.

adjusted in accordance with Clauses 7 and 12 below. If a portion of the interest and fees under items (ii) and (iii) listed above is attributed to the noncompliance with the representations, warranties and covenants by Chery under the
Chery Guarantee Deed and/or this Guarantee Contract, Kenon shall not be liable for that portion to Chery. 
  
 

 

  
 5 

 

 
 Clause 3 In case Qoros fails to pay any due and payable Chery Secured Indebtedness on any due date or any Event of
Default under the Loan Agreement occurs and the payment ability of Qoros could be strongly affected, and in each case Chery pays off such Chery Secured Indebtedness to the Agent in accordance with the Chery Guarantee Deed, Kenon shall pay to Chery

receipt of a written notice from Chery to a bank account designated by Chery. If Kenon pays the Kenon Secured Indebtedness in USD, Kenon shall ensure that the amount received by Chery shall be the RMB equivalent of 50% of the sums paid by Chery to

on which the relevant amount is received by Chery. 
 

 
 Clause 4 Chery shall provide Kenon with all documents to prove the Chery Secured Indebtedness paid off to the Agent
for the purpose of Kenon’s guarantee payable under this Guarantee Contract. 
 

 

  
 6 

 Clause 5 The term of this Guarantee Contract shall commence from the effectiveness of the Guarantee Deeds
or the effective date of this Guarantee Contract, whichever is earlier, until ten (10) days after the Chery Guarantee Term under the Chery Guarantee Deed, or two (2) years after Chery performs the Chery Secured Indebtedness owed by Chery
under the Chery Guarantee Deed, whichever is later. This Guarantee Contract will become null and void after the term of this Guarantee Contract as set forth above is expired. Clauses 18 and 19 shall remain valid and survive the expiration of the
term of this Guarantee Contract. 
 

 
 Chapter 2 Nature and Effectiveness of Guarantee 

 
 Clause 6 The guarantee under this Guarantee Contract is an exclusive guarantee with continuance and full
effectiveness provided by Kenon to Chery and shall not be a joint and several guarantee to the Chery Guarantee Deed which Chery provided to the Agent and/or the CS Port Guarantee Deed and/or any other guarantee or security provided to the Agent or
any of the Bank Consortium Members in relation to the Loan Agreement. Chery may only claim against Kenon under this Guarantee Contract if and after Chery has fulfilled its obligations and actually paid its guaranteed amount pro rata towards the
Agent under the Guarantee Deeds. 
 

 
 Clause 7 The effectiveness of this Guarantee Contract shall not be affected by either of the liquidation, merger,
spin-off, restructuring, bankruptcy or any other form of change of the organizational chart of Kenon or other arrangements made to Qoros’s indebtedness. This Guarantee Contract shall terminate as of the date Quantum ceases to be a shareholder
of Qoros, provided that the assignee of Quantum’s equity in Qoros unconditionally undertakes the liability and obligation of Kenon hereunder pro rata in accordance with the equity ratio assignment and based on equal terms with this Guarantee
Contract with Chery’s consent in writing. Also, the ratio and Total Amount of 

  
 7 

 
the Kenon Secured Indebtedness shall be adjusted pro rata in accordance with any adjustment of the equity ratio held by Quantum in Qoros during the term of the Guarantee Contract (e.g. if the
equity of Quantum in Qoros adjusts to 40%, Kenon shall only guarantee for 40% of the Chery Secured Indebtedness under the Chery Guarantee Deed, subject to the limitation of the Total Amount) subject to the written agreement among Kenon, Chery and
assignee in question. However written agreement is not necessary once shareholding is decreased due to dilution (decrease of shareholdings due to issuance of new securities) in case of an IPO of Qoros. 

 
 Clause 8 This Guarantee Contract is independent of the Loan Agreement but is dependent on the effectiveness of the
Chery Guarantee Deed. The effectiveness of this Guarantee Contract and the obligations and liabilities of Kenon hereunder shall not be affected by the fact that the Loan Agreement becomes null or rescinded for whatsoever reason. The effectiveness of
this Guarantee Contract and the obligations and liabilities of Kenon hereunder shall be null and void if the Chery Guarantee Deed becomes null or rescinded for whatsoever reason. 
 

 
 Clause 9 This Guarantee Contract and any of the rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall not be
transferred by a Party hereof to any third party without prior written consent of the other Party.

Requested Repayment as calculated in accordance with this Guarantee Contract, and upon the receipt by Chery of such amounts, Kenon shall be deemed to have fully satisfied its obligations with respect to the Kenon Secured Indebtedness in a sum equal
