dated as of June 27, 2019, is entered into by and between Inpixon, a Nevada corporation
(“Company”), and Chicago Venture Partners, L.P., a Utah limited
partnership, its successors and/or assigns (“Investor”).

 

A. Company
and Investor are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded
by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder
by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

B. Investor
desires to purchase and Company desires to issue and sell, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, a Promissory
Note, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Note”), in the original principal amount of $1,895,000.00
(the “Initial Principal Amount”).

 

C. This
Agreement, the Note, and all other certificates, documents, agreements, resolutions and instruments delivered to any party under
or in connection with this Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time, are collectively referred to herein as the
“Transaction Documents”.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, Company and Investor hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Purchase
and Sale of Note.

 

1.1. Purchase
of Note. Company shall issue and sell to Investor and Investor shall purchase from Company the Note. In consideration thereof,
Investor shall pay the Purchase Price (as defined below) to Company.

 

1.2. Form
of Payment. On the Closing Date (as defined below), Investor shall pay the Purchase Price to Company via wire transfer of
immediately available funds against delivery of the Note.

 

1.3. Closing
Date. Subject to the satisfaction (or written waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 below, the date
of the issuance and sale of the Note pursuant to this Agreement (the “Closing Date”) shall be June 27, 2019,
or such other mutually agreed upon date. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”)
shall occur on the Closing Date by means of the exchange by email of signed .pdf documents, but shall be deemed for all purposes

monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Note (the “Transaction
Expense Amount”), all of which amount is included in the initial original principal amount of the Note. The “Purchase

Representations and Warranties. Investor represents and warrants to Company that as of the date hereof:

 

2.1. Organization;
Authority. Investor is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction
of its organization with the requisite power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents to which it is a party and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

 

2.2. No
Public Sale or Distribution. Investor is acquiring the Note for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale
in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof in violation of applicable securities laws, except pursuant to sales
registered or exempted under the 1933 Act; provided, however, by making the representations herein, Investor does not agree, or
make any representation or warranty, to hold the Note for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose
of the Note at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption from registration under the
1933 Act. Investor does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute
the Note in violation of applicable securities laws. For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” means an individual,

Investor Status. Investor is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated
under the 1933 Act.

 

2.4. Reliance
on Exemptions. Investor understands that the Note is being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from
the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that Company is relying in part upon the
truth and accuracy of, and Investor’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and
understandings of Investor set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Investor
to acquire the Note.

 

2.5. Information.
Investor and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of
Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Note that have been requested by Investor. Investor and its advisors,
if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations
conducted by Investor or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect Investor’s right to rely on
Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. Investor understands that its investment in the Note involves a high
degree of risk. Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment
decision with respect to its acquisition of the Note.

 

2.6. No
Governmental Review. Investor understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental
agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Note or the fairness or suitability of the investment in
the Note nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Note.

 

2.7. Registration.
Investor understands that the Note has not been and is not being registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws. Investor
further understands and acknowledges that Company will not be obligated in the future to register the Note under the 1933 Act
or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), or under any state securities laws and
that Company has not made or is making any representation, warranty or covenant, express or implied, as to the availability of
any exemption from registration under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws for the resale, pledge or other transfer
of the Note.

2.8. Validity;
Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of Investor and shall constitute
the legal, valid and binding obligations of Investor enforceable against Investor in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights
and remedies.

 

2.9. No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by Investor of this Agreement and the consummation by Investor of the transactions
contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of Investor, (ii) conflict with, or constitute
a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights
of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which Investor is a party
or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities
laws) applicable to Investor, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations
which could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of
Investor to perform its obligations hereunder.

or within the timeframes otherwise specifically set forth below, Company will at all times comply with the following covenants:
(i) so long as Investor beneficially owns the Note, Company will timely file on the applicable deadline all reports required to
be filed with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, and will take all reasonable action under its control
to ensure that adequate current public information with respect to Company, as required in accordance with Rule 144 of the 1933

suspended, halted, chilled, frozen, reach zero bid or otherwise cease trading on Company’s principal trading market for

and (c) one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding balance of the Note if Company receives net proceeds equal to $5,000,000.00
or more.

 

5. Conditions
to Company’s Obligation to Sell. The obligation of Company hereunder to issue and sell the Note to Investor at the Closing
is subject to the satisfaction, on or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions:

 

5.1. Investor
shall have executed this Agreement and delivered the same to Company.

 

5.2. Investor
shall have delivered the Purchase Price to Company in accordance with Section 1.2 above.

 

6. Conditions
to Investor’s Obligation to Purchase. The obligation of Investor hereunder to purchase the Note at the Closing is subject
to the satisfaction, on or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are for
Investor’s sole benefit and may be waived by Investor at any time in its sole discretion:

 

6.1. Company
shall have executed this Agreement and the Note and delivered the same to Investor.

 

6.2. Company
shall have delivered to Investor a fully executed Secretary’s Certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
B evidencing Company’s approval of the Transaction Documents.

 

6.3. Company
shall have delivered to Investor fully executed copies of all other Transaction Documents required to be executed by Company herein
or therein.

 

7. Right
of First Refusal. If at any time while the Note is outstanding, Company intends to enter into a financing with a Person pursuant
to which it will issue Company securities that (A) have or may have conversion rights of any kind, contingent, conditional or
otherwise, in which the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to such conversion right varies with the market price of
the Common Stock, or (B) are or may become convertible into Common Stock (including without limitation convertible debt, warrants
or convertible preferred stock), with a conversion price that varies with the market price of the Common Stock, even if such security
only becomes convertible following an event of default, the passage of time, or another trigger event or condition (a “Future
Offering”), then Company must first offer such opportunity to Investor to provide such financing to Company on the same
terms as each respective Person’s term no later than five (5) Trading Days immediately prior to the Trading Day of the expected
announcement of the Future Offering. Should Investor be unwilling or unable to provide such financing to Company within five (5)
Trading Days from Investor’s receipt of notice of the Future Offering from Company, then Company may obtain such financing
from that respective Person upon the exact same terms and conditions offered by Company to Investor, which transaction must be
completed within 30 days after the date of the notice. If Company does not receive the financing from the respective Person within
30 days after the date of the respective notice, then Company must again offer the financing opportunity to Investor as described
above, and the process detailed above shall be repeated. For avoidance of doubt, the issuance of shares of Common Stock under,
pursuant to, in exchange for or in connection with any contract or instrument, whether convertible or not, is deemed a Future
Offering for purposes hereof if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued is based upon or related in any way to the market
price of the Common Stock, including, but not limited to, Common Stock issued in connection with a Section 3(a)(9) exchange, a
Section 3(a)(10) settlement, or any other similar settlement or exchange. This Section 7 shall not apply to an Exempt Issuance
or to a registered offering made pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3.

 

    4

     

    

 

8. Participation
in Future Offering.

 

8.1. So
long as the Note is outstanding, upon any offer of securities by Company with any term or condition more favorable to the holder
of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that was not similarly provided to Investor in the Transaction
Documents (“Favorable Transaction”), then Company shall notify Investor of such additional or more Favorable
Transaction and, Investor may, at its option, have the right to participate in such Favorable Transaction on the same terms and
conditions in an amount up to the aggregate amount then outstanding under the Note. The types of terms contained in another security
that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing conversion rights,
conversion discounts, conversion lookback periods, interest rates, original issue discounts, stock sale price, conversion price
per share, warrant coverage, warrant exercise price, and anti-dilution/conversion and exercise price resets.

 

8.2. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 8 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, a transaction under Section 3(a)(10) of 1933 Act,
a registered offering made pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3, or in connection with the satisfaction
of outstanding trade payables. “Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or any securities
of Company which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt,
preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable
for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock (“Common Stock Equivalents”), to consultants,
employees, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose or as approved
by the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of directors established for such purpose for services rendered
to the Company; (b) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of the Note issued hereunder and/or other securities
exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement,
provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Agreement to increase the number of such securities
or to decrease the exercise price, floor price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities (other than in connection
with stock splits or combinations) or to extend the term of such securities; and (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions,
dispositions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company.

 

9. Miscellaneous.
The provisions set forth in this Section 9 shall apply to this Agreement, as well as all other Transaction Documents as if these
terms were fully set forth therein; provided, however, that in the event there is a conflict between any provision set forth in
this Section 9 and any provision in any other Transaction Document, the provision in such other Transaction Document shall govern.

 

9.1. Certain
Capitalized Terms. To the extent any capitalized term used in any Transaction Document is defined in any other Transaction
Document (as noted therein), such capitalized term shall remain applicable in the Transaction Document in which it is so used
even if the other Transaction Document (wherein such term is defined) has been released, satisfied, or is otherwise cancelled
or terminated.

 

    5

     

    

 

9.2. Arbitration
of Claims. The parties shall submit all Claims (as defined in Exhibit C) arising under this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document or any other agreement between the parties and their affiliates or any Claim relating to the relationship
of the parties to binding arbitration pursuant to the arbitration provisions set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto (the
“Arbitration Provisions”). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the injunction described in Section
9.4 below may be pursued in an arbitration that is separate and apart from any other arbitration regarding other Claims arising
under the Transaction Documents. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Arbitration Provisions are unconditionally
binding on the parties hereto and are severable from all other provisions of this Agreement. By executing this Agreement, Company
represents, warrants and covenants that Company has reviewed the Arbitration Provisions carefully, consulted with legal counsel
about such provisions (or waived its right to do so), understands that the Arbitration Provisions are intended to allow for the
expeditious and efficient resolution of any dispute hereunder, agrees to the terms and limitations set forth in the Arbitration
Provisions, and that Company will not take a position contrary to the foregoing representations. Company acknowledges and agrees
that Investor may rely upon the foregoing representations and covenants of Company regarding the Arbitration Provisions.

 

9.3. Governing
Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction,
validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without
giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction)
that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. Each party consents to and expressly
agrees that the exclusive venue for arbitration of any dispute arising out of or relating to any Transaction Document or the relationship
of the parties or their affiliates shall be in Salt Lake County, Utah. Without modifying the parties’ obligations to resolve
disputes hereunder pursuant to the Arbitration Provisions, for any litigation arising in connection with any of the Transaction
Documents (and notwithstanding the terms (specifically including any governing law and venue terms) of any transfer agent services
agreement or other agreement between the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) and Company,
such litigation specifically includes, without limitation any action between or involving Company and the Transfer Agent or otherwise
related to Investor in any way (specifically including, without limitation, any action where Company seeks to obtain an injunction,
temporary restraining order, or otherwise prohibit the Transfer Agent from issuing shares of Common Stock to Investor for any
reason)), each party hereto hereby (i) consents to and expressly submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of any state or
federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah, (ii) expressly submits to the exclusive venue of any such court for the purposes
hereof, (iii) agrees to not bring any such action (specifically including, without limitation, any action where Company seeks
to obtain an injunction, temporary restraining order, or otherwise prohibit the Transfer Agent from issuing shares of Common Stock
to Investor for any reason) outside of any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah, and (iv) waives any claim
of improper venue and any claim or objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or any other claim, defense or objection
to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdiction or to any claim that such venue of the suit, action or proceeding
is improper. Finally, Company covenants and agrees to name Investor as a party in interest in, and provide written notice to Investor
in accordance with Section 9.12 below prior to bringing or filing, any action (including without limitation any filing or action
against any person or entity that is not a party to this Agreement, including without limitation the Transfer Agent) that is related
in any way to the Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein, including without limitation any action
brought by Company to enjoin or prevent the issuance of any shares of Common Stock to Investor by the Transfer Agent, and further
agrees to timely name Investor as a party to any such action. Company acknowledges that the governing law and venue provisions
set forth in this Section 9.3 are material terms to induce Investor to enter into the Transaction Documents and that but for Company’s
agreements set forth in this Section 9.3 Investor would not have entered into the Transaction Documents.

 

    6

     

    

 

9.4. Specific
Performance. Company acknowledges and agrees Investor may suffer irreparable harm in the event that Company fails to perform
any material provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with its specific terms. It is
accordingly agreed that Investor shall be entitled to one or more injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of
this Agreement or such other Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this
being in addition to any other remedy to which the Investor may be entitled under the Transaction Documents, at law or in equity.
Company specifically agrees that following an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under the Note, Investor shall have the
right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or an arbitrator prohibiting Company from issuing any of its Common Stock
or preferred stock to any party unless the Note is being paid in full simultaneously with such issuance. For the avoidance of
doubt, in the event Investor seeks to obtain an injunction from a court or an arbitrator against Company or specific performance
of any provision of any Transaction Document, such action shall not be a waiver of any right of Investor under any Transaction
Document, at law, or in equity, including without limitation its rights to arbitrate any Claim pursuant to the terms of the Transaction
Documents, nor shall Investor’s pursuit of an injunction prevent Investor, under the doctrines of claim preclusion, issues
preclusion, res judicata or other similar legal doctrines, from pursuing other Claims in the future in a separate arbitration.

 

9.5. Counterparts.
Each Transaction Document may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
which together shall constitute one instrument. The parties hereto confirm that any electronic copy of another party’s executed
counterpart of a Transaction Document (or such party’s signature page thereof) will be deemed to be an executed original
thereof.

 

9.6. Document
Imaging. Investor shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to image or make copies of all or any selection of the agreements,
instruments, documents, and items and records governing, arising from or relating to any of Company’s loans, including,
without limitation, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and Investor may destroy or archive the paper originals. The
parties hereto (i) waive any right to insist or require that Investor produce paper originals, (ii) agree that such images shall
be accorded the same force and effect as the paper originals, (iii) agree that Investor is entitled to use such images in lieu
of destroyed or archived originals for any purpose, including as admissible evidence in any demand, presentment or other proceedings,
and (iv) further agree that any executed facsimile (faxed), scanned, emailed, or other imaged copy of this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document shall be deemed to be of the same force and effect as the original manually executed document.

 

9.7. Headings.
The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation
of, this Agreement.

 

9.8. Severability.
In the event that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then
such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform
to such statute or rule of law. Any provision hereof which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.

Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents, contains the entire understanding of the parties
with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither Company
nor Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. For the avoidance of doubt,
all prior term sheets or other documents between Company and Investor, or any affiliate thereof, related to the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents (collectively, “Prior Agreements”), that may have been entered into between Company
and Investor, or any affiliate thereof, are hereby null and void and deemed to be replaced in their entirety by the Transaction
Documents. To the extent there is a conflict between any term set forth in any Prior Agreement and the term(s) of the Transaction
Documents, the Transaction Documents shall govern.

 

9.10. No
Reliance. Company acknowledges and agrees that neither Investor nor any of its officers, directors, members, managers, representatives
or agents has made any representations or warranties to Company or any of its officers, directors, representatives, agents or
employees except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents and, in making its decision to enter into the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, Company is not relying on any representation, warranty, covenant or promise of Investor

9.13. Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement or any of the severable rights and obligations inuring to the benefit of or to be performed by
Investor hereunder may be assigned by Investor to a third party, including its affiliates, in whole or in part, without the need
to obtain Company’s consent thereto. Company may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement or delegate its
duties hereunder without the prior written consent of Investor.

 

9.14. Survival.
The representations and warranties of Company and the agreements and covenants set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing
hereunder notwithstanding any due diligence investigation conducted by or on behalf of Investor. Company agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless Investor and all its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, and agents for loss or damage arising as a result
of or related to any breach or alleged breach by Company of any of its representations, warranties and covenants set forth in
this Agreement or any of its covenants and obligations under this Agreement, including advancement of expenses as they are incurred.

 

9.15. Further
Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall
execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request
in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.

 

9.16. Investor’s
Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Liquidated Damages. All rights, remedies, and powers conferred in this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies, and shall be in addition to every other right, power,
and remedy that Investor may have, whether specifically granted in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or existing
at law, in equity, or by statute, and any and all such rights and remedies may be exercised from time to time and as often and
in such order as Investor may deem expedient. The parties acknowledge and agree that upon Company’s failure to comply with
the provisions of the Transaction Documents, Investor’s damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to
accurately estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and future share prices, Investor’s
increased risk, and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for Investor, among other
reasons. Accordingly, any fees, charges, and default interest due under the Note and the other Transaction Documents are intended
by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, liquidated damages. The parties agree that such liquidated damages are a reasonable
estimate of Investor’s actual damages and not a penalty, and shall not be deemed in any way to limit any other right or
remedy Investor may have hereunder, at law or in equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that under the circumstances existing
at the time this Agreement is entered into, such liquidated damages are fair and reasonable and are not penalties. All fees, charges,
and default interest provided for in the Transaction Documents are agreed to by the parties to be based upon the obligations and
the risks assumed by the parties as of the Closing Date and are consistent with investments of this type. The liquidated damages
provisions of the Transaction Documents shall not limit or preclude a party from pursuing any other remedy available at law or
in equity; provided, however, that the liquidated damages provided for in the Transaction Documents are intended to be
in lieu of actual damages.

 

    9

     

    

 

9.17. Attorneys’
Fees and Cost of Collection. In the event of any arbitration or action at law or in equity to enforce or interpret the terms
of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the parties agree that the party who is awarded the most money (which,
for the avoidance of doubt, shall be determined without regard to any statutory fines, penalties, fees, or other charges awarded
to any party) shall be deemed the prevailing party for all purposes and shall therefore be entitled to an additional award of
the full amount of the reasonable attorneys’ fees, deposition costs, and expenses paid by such prevailing party in connection
with arbitration or litigation without reduction or apportionment based upon the individual claims or defenses giving rise to
the fees and expenses. Nothing herein shall restrict or impair an arbitrator’s or a court’s power to award fees and
expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading. If (i) the Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement
prior to commencing arbitration or legal proceedings, or is collected or enforced through any arbitration or legal proceeding,
or Investor otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under the Note or to enforce the provisions of the Note, or (ii) there
occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of Company or other proceedings affecting Company’s creditors’
rights and involving a claim under the Note; then Company shall pay the costs incurred by Investor for such collection, enforcement
or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation,
attorneys’ fees, expenses, deposition costs, and disbursements.

 

9.18. Waiver.
No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting
the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or
consent to any other prohibited action, whether or not similar. No waiver or consent shall constitute a continuing waiver or consent
or commit a party to provide a waiver or consent in the future except to the extent specifically set forth in writing.

 

9.19. Waiver
of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO DEMAND THAT ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR THE RELATIONSHIPS
OF THE PARTIES HERETO BE TRIED BY JURY. THIS WAIVER EXTENDS TO ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY JURY ARISING UNDER COMMON
LAW OR ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE, LAW, RULE OR REGULATION. FURTHER, EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH PARTY IS KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY WAIVING SUCH PARTY’S RIGHT TO DEMAND TRIAL BY JURY.

 

9.20. Time
is of the Essence. Time is expressly made of the essence with respect to each and every provision of this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents.

 

    10

     

    

 

9.21. No
Changes; Signature Pages. Company, as well as the person signing each Transaction Document on behalf of Company, represents
and warrants to Investor that it has not made any changes to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document except those that
have been conspicuously disclosed to Investor in a “redline” or similar draft of the applicable Transaction Document,
which clearly marks all changes Company has made to the applicable Transaction Document. Moreover, the versions of the Transaction
Documents signed by Company are the same versions Investor delivered to Company as being the “final” versions of the
Transaction Documents and Company represents and warrants that it has not made any changes to such “final” versions
of the Transaction Documents and that the versions Company signed are the same versions Investor delivered to it. In the event
Company has made any changes to any Transaction Document that are not conspicuously disclosed to Investor in a “redline”
or similar draft of the applicable Transaction Document and that have not been explicitly accepted and agreed upon by Investor,
Company acknowledges and agrees that any such changes shall not be considered part of the final document set. Finally, and in
furtherance of the foregoing, Company agrees and authorizes Investor to compile the “final” versions of the Transaction
Documents, which shall consist of Company’s executed signature pages for all Transaction Documents being applied to the
last set of the Transaction Documents that Investor delivered to Company, and Company agrees that such versions of the Transaction
Documents that have been collated by Investor shall be deemed to be the final versions of the Transaction Documents for all purposes.

 

9.22. Voluntary
Agreement. Company has carefully read this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and has asked any questions
needed for Company to understand the terms, consequences and binding effect of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction
Documents and fully understand them. Company has had the opportunity to seek the advice of an attorney of Company’s choosing,
or has waived the right to do so, and is executing this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents voluntarily and
without any duress or undue influence by Investor or anyone else.

Exhibit

ARBITRATION
PROVISIONS

 

1. Dispute
Resolution. For purposes of this Exhibit C, the term “Claims” means any disputes, claims, demands,
causes of action, requests for injunctive relief, requests for specific performance, liabilities, damages, losses, or controversies
whatsoever arising from, related to, or connected with the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents and any communications
between the parties related thereto, including without limitation any claims of mutual mistake, mistake, fraud, misrepresentation,
failure of formation, failure of consideration, promissory estoppel, unconscionability, failure of condition precedent, rescission,
and any statutory claims, tort claims, contract claims, or claims to void, invalidate or terminate the Agreement (or these Arbitration
Provisions (defined below)) or any of the other Transaction Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, Investor’s pursuit of
an injunction or other Claim pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions or with a court will not later prevent Investor under the
doctrines of claim preclusion, issue preclusion, res judicata or other similar legal doctrines from pursuing other Claims in a
separate arbitration in the future. The parties to this Agreement (the “parties”) hereby agree that the Claims
may be arbitrated in one or more Arbitrations pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions. The parties hereby agree that the arbitration
provisions set forth in this Exhibit C (“Arbitration Provisions”) are binding on each of them. As a
result, any attempt to rescind the Agreement (or these Arbitration Provisions) or declare the Agreement (or these Arbitration
Provisions) or any other Transaction Document invalid or unenforceable for any reason is subject to these Arbitration Provisions.
These Arbitration Provisions shall also survive any termination or expiration of the Agreement. Any capitalized term not defined
in these Arbitration Provisions shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.

 

2. Arbitration.
Except as otherwise provided herein, all Claims must be submitted to arbitration (“Arbitration”) to be conducted
exclusively in Salt Lake County, Utah and pursuant to the terms set forth in these Arbitration Provisions. Subject to the arbitration
appeal right provided for in Paragraph 5 below (the “Appeal Right”), the parties agree that the award of the
arbitrator rendered pursuant to Paragraph 4 below (the “Arbitration Award”) shall be (a) final and binding
upon the parties, (b) the sole and exclusive remedy between them regarding any Claims, counterclaims, issues, or accountings presented
or pleaded to the arbitrator, and (c) promptly payable in United States dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset (with respect
to monetary awards). Subject to the Appeal Right, any costs or fees, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, incurred
in connection with or incident to enforcing the Arbitration Award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against
the party resisting such enforcement. The Arbitration Award shall include default interest (as defined or otherwise provided for
in the Note, “Default Interest”) (with respect to monetary awards) at the rate specified in the Note for Default
Interest both before and after the Arbitration Award. Judgment upon the Arbitration Award will be entered and enforced by any
state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah.

 

3. The
Arbitration Act. The parties hereby incorporate herein the provisions and procedures set forth in the Utah Uniform Arbitration
Act, U.C.A. § 78B-11-101 et seq. (as amended or superseded from time to time, the “Arbitration Act”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to, and to the maximum extent permitted by, Section 105 of the Arbitration Act, in the
event of conflict or variation between the terms of these Arbitration Provisions and the provisions of the Arbitration Act, the
terms of these Arbitration Provisions shall control and the parties hereby waive or otherwise agree to vary the effect of all
requirements of the Arbitration Act that may conflict with or vary from these Arbitration Provisions.

 

4. Arbitration
Proceedings. Arbitration between the parties will be subject to the following:

 

4.1 Initiation
of Arbitration. Pursuant to Section 110 of the Arbitration Act, the parties agree that a party may initiate Arbitration by
giving written notice to the other party (“Arbitration Notice”) in the same manner that notice is permitted
under Section 9.12 of the Agreement; provided, however, that the Arbitration Notice may not be given by email or fax. Arbitration
will be deemed initiated as of the date that the Arbitration Notice is deemed delivered to such other party under Section 9.12
of the Agreement (the “Service Date”). After the Service Date, information may be delivered, and notices may
be given, by email or fax pursuant to Section 9.12 of the Agreement or any other method permitted thereunder. The Arbitration
Notice must describe the nature of the controversy, the remedies sought, and the election to commence Arbitration proceedings.
All Claims in the Arbitration Notice must be pleaded consistent with the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure.

 

     

     

    

 

4.2 Selection
and Payment of Arbitrator.

 

(a)
Within ten (10) calendar days after the Service Date, Investor shall select and submit to Company the names of three (3) arbitrators
that are designated as “neutrals” or qualified arbitrators by Utah ADR Services (http://www.utahadrservices.com) (such
three (3) designated persons hereunder are referred to herein as the “Proposed Arbitrators”). For the avoidance
of doubt, each Proposed Arbitrator must be qualified as a “neutral” with Utah ADR Services. Within five (5) calendar
days after Investor has submitted to Company the names of the Proposed Arbitrators, Company must select, by written notice to
Investor, one (1) of the Proposed Arbitrators to act as the arbitrator for the parties under these Arbitration Provisions. If
Company fails to select one of the Proposed Arbitrators in writing within such 5-day period, then Investor may select the arbitrator
from the Proposed Arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to Company.

 

(b)
If Investor fails to submit to Company the Proposed Arbitrators within ten (10) calendar days after the Service Date pursuant
to subparagraph (a) above, then Company may at any time prior to Investor so designating the Proposed Arbitrators, identify the
names of three (3) arbitrators that are designated as “neutrals” or qualified arbitrators by Utah ADR Service by written
notice to Investor. Investor may then, within five (5) calendar days after Company has submitted notice of its Proposed Arbitrators
to Investor, select, by written notice to Company, one (1) of the Proposed Arbitrators to act as the arbitrator for the parties
under these Arbitration Provisions. If Investor fails to select in writing and within such 5-day period one (1) of the three (3)
Proposed Arbitrators selected by Company, then Company may select the arbitrator from its three (3) previously selected Proposed
Arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to Investor.

 

(c)
If a Proposed Arbitrator chosen to serve as arbitrator declines or is otherwise unable to serve as arbitrator, then the party
that selected such Proposed Arbitrator may select one (1) of the other three (3) Proposed Arbitrators within three (3) calendar
days of the date the chosen Proposed Arbitrator declines or notifies the parties he or she is unable to serve as arbitrator. If
all three (3) Proposed Arbitrators decline or are otherwise unable to serve as arbitrator, then the arbitrator selection process
shall begin again in accordance with this Paragraph 4.2.

 

(d)
The date that the Proposed Arbitrator selected pursuant to this Paragraph 4.2 agrees in writing (including via email) delivered
to both parties to serve as the arbitrator hereunder is referred to herein as the “Arbitration Commencement Date”.
If an arbitrator resigns or is unable to act during the Arbitration, a replacement arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with
this Paragraph 4.2 to continue the Arbitration. If Utah ADR Services ceases to exist or to provide a list of neutrals and there
is no successor thereto, then the arbitrator shall be selected under the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association.

 

(e)
Subject to Paragraph 4.10 below, the cost of the arbitrator must be paid equally by both parties. Subject to Paragraph 4.10 below,
if one party refuses or fails to pay its portion of the arbitrator fee, then the other party can advance such unpaid amount (subject
to the accrual of Default Interest thereupon), with such amount being added to or subtracted from, as applicable, the Arbitration
Award.

 

4.3 Applicability
of Certain Utah Rules. The parties agree that the Arbitration shall be conducted generally in accordance with the Utah Rules
of Civil Procedure and the Utah Rules of Evidence. More specifically, the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure shall apply, without limitation,
to the filing of any pleadings, motions or memoranda, the conducting of discovery, and the taking of any depositions. The Utah
Rules of Evidence shall apply to any hearings, whether telephonic or in person, held by the arbitrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
it is the parties’ intent that the incorporation of such rules will in no event supersede these Arbitration Provisions.
In the event of any conflict between the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure or the Utah Rules of Evidence and these Arbitration Provisions,
these Arbitration Provisions shall control.

 

4.4 Answer
and Default. An answer and any counterclaims to the Arbitration Notice shall be required to be delivered to the party initiating
the Arbitration within twenty (20) calendar days after the Arbitration Commencement Date. If an answer is not delivered by the
required deadline, the arbitrator must provide written notice to the defaulting party stating that the arbitrator will enter a
default award against such party if such party does not file an answer within five (5) calendar days of receipt of such notice.
If an answer is not filed within the five (5) day extension period, the arbitrator must render a default award, consistent with
the relief requested in the Arbitration Notice, against a party that fails to submit an answer within such time period.

 

     

     

    

 

4.5 Related
Litigation. The party that delivers the Arbitration Notice to the other party shall have the option to also commence concurrent
legal proceedings with any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah (“Litigation Proceedings”),
subject to the following: (a) the complaint in the Litigation Proceedings is to be substantially similar to the claims set forth
in the Arbitration Notice, provided that an additional cause of action to compel arbitration will also be included therein, (b)
so long as the other party files an answer to the complaint in the Litigation Proceedings and an answer to the Arbitration Notice,
the Litigation Proceedings will be stayed pending an Arbitration Award (or Appeal Panel Award (defined below), as applicable)
hereunder, (c) if the other party fails to file an answer in the Litigation Proceedings or an answer in the Arbitration proceedings,
then the party initiating Arbitration shall be entitled to a default judgment consistent with the relief requested, to be entered
in the Litigation Proceedings, and (d) any legal or procedural issue arising under the Arbitration Act that requires a decision
of a court of competent jurisdiction may be determined in the Litigation Proceedings. Any award of the arbitrator (or of the Appeal
Panel (defined below)) may be entered in such Litigation Proceedings pursuant to the Arbitration Act.

 

4.6 Discovery.
Pursuant to Section 118(8) of the Arbitration Act, the parties agree that discovery shall be conducted as follows:

 

(a)
Written discovery will only be allowed if the likely benefits of the proposed written discovery outweigh the burden or expense
thereof, and the written discovery sought is likely to reveal information that will satisfy a specific element of a claim or defense
already pleaded in the Arbitration. The party seeking written discovery shall always have the burden of showing that all of the
standards and limitations set forth in these Arbitration Provisions are satisfied. The scope of discovery in the Arbitration proceedings
shall also be limited as follows:

 

(i) To
facts directly connected with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

 

(ii) To
facts and information that cannot be obtained from another source or in another manner that is more convenient, less burdensome
or less expensive than in the manner requested.

 

(b)
No party shall be allowed (i) more than fifteen (15) interrogatories (including discrete subparts), (ii) more than fifteen (15)
requests for admission (including discrete subparts), (iii) more than ten (10) document requests (including discrete subparts),
or (iv) more than three (3) depositions (excluding expert depositions) for a maximum of seven (7) hours per deposition. The costs
associated with depositions will be borne by the party taking the deposition. The party defending the deposition will submit a
notice to the party taking the deposition of the estimated attorneys’ fees that such party expects to incur in connection
with defending the deposition. If the party defending the deposition fails to submit an estimate of attorneys’ fees within
five (5) calendar days of its receipt of a deposition notice, then such party shall be deemed to have waived its right to the
estimated attorneys’ fees. The party taking the deposition must pay the party defending the deposition the estimated attorneys’
fees prior to taking the deposition, unless such obligation is deemed to be waived as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.
If the party taking the deposition believes that the estimated attorneys’ fees are unreasonable, such party may submit the
issue to the arbitrator for a decision. All depositions will be taken in Utah.

 

(c)
All discovery requests (including document production requests included in deposition notices) must be submitted in writing to
the arbitrator and the other party. The party submitting the written discovery requests must include with such discovery requests
a detailed explanation of how the proposed discovery requests satisfy the requirements of these Arbitration Provisions and the
Utah Rules of Civil Procedure. The receiving party will then be allowed, within five (5) calendar days of receiving the proposed
discovery requests, to submit to the arbitrator an estimate of the attorneys’ fees and costs associated with responding
to such written discovery requests and a written challenge to each applicable discovery request. After receipt of an estimate
of attorneys’ fees and costs and/or challenge(s) to one or more discovery requests, consistent with subparagraph (c) above,
the arbitrator will within three (3) calendar days make a finding as to the likely attorneys’ fees and costs associated
with responding to the discovery requests and issue an order that (i) requires the requesting party to prepay the attorneys’
fees and costs associated with responding to the discovery requests, and (ii) requires the responding party to respond to the
discovery requests as limited by the arbitrator within twenty-five (25) calendar days of the arbitrator’s finding with respect
to such discovery requests. If a party entitled to submit an estimate of attorneys’ fees and costs and/or a challenge to
discovery requests fails to do so within such 5-day period, the arbitrator will make a finding that (A) there are no attorneys’
fees or costs associated with responding to such discovery requests, and (B) the responding party must respond to such discovery
requests (as may be limited by the arbitrator) within twenty-five (25) calendar days of the arbitrator’s finding with respect
to such discovery requests. Any party submitting any written discovery requests, including without limitation interrogatories,
requests for production subpoenas to a party or a third party, or requests for admissions, must prepay the estimated attorneys’
fees and costs, before the responding party has any obligation to produce or respond to the same, unless such obligation is deemed
waived as set forth above.

 

     

     

    

 

(d)
In order to allow a written discovery request, the arbitrator must find that the discovery request satisfies the standards set
forth in these Arbitration Provisions and the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitrator must strictly enforce these standards.
If a discovery request does not satisfy any of the standards set forth in these Arbitration Provisions or the Utah Rules of Civil
Procedure, the arbitrator may modify such discovery request to satisfy the applicable standards, or strike such discovery request
in whole or in part.

 

(e)
Each party may submit expert reports (and rebuttals thereto), provided that such reports must be submitted within sixty (60) days
of the Arbitration Commencement Date. Each party will be allowed a maximum of two (2) experts. Expert reports must contain the
following: (i) a complete statement of all opinions the expert will offer at trial and the basis and reasons for them; (ii) the
expert’s name and qualifications, including a list of all the expert’s publications within the preceding ten (10)
years, and a list of any other cases in which the expert has testified at trial or in a deposition or prepared a report within
the preceding ten (10) years; and (iii) the compensation to be paid for the expert’s report and testimony. The parties are
entitled to depose any other party’s expert witness one (1) time for no more than four (4) hours. An expert may not testify
in a party’s case-in-chief concerning any matter not fairly disclosed in the expert report.

 

4.6 Dispositive
Motions. Each party shall have the right to submit dispositive motions pursuant Rule 12 or Rule 56 of the Utah Rules of Civil
Procedure (a “Dispositive Motion”). The party submitting the Dispositive Motion may, but is not required to,
deliver to the arbitrator and to the other party a memorandum in support (the “Memorandum in Support”) of the
Dispositive Motion. Within seven (7) calendar days of delivery of the Memorandum in Support, the other party shall deliver to
the arbitrator and to the other party a memorandum in opposition to the Memorandum in Support (the “Memorandum in Opposition”).
Within seven (7) calendar days of delivery of the Memorandum in Opposition, as applicable, the party that submitted the Memorandum
in Support shall deliver to the arbitrator and to the other party a reply memorandum to the Memorandum in Opposition (“Reply
Memorandum”). If the applicable party shall fail to deliver the Memorandum in Opposition as required above, or if the
other party fails to deliver the Reply Memorandum as required above, then the applicable party shall lose its right to so deliver
the same, and the Dispositive Motion shall proceed regardless.

 

4.7 Confidentiality.
All information disclosed by either party (or such party’s agents) during the Arbitration process (including without limitation
information disclosed during the discovery process or any Appeal (defined below)) shall be considered confidential in nature.
Each party agrees not to disclose any confidential information received from the other party (or its agents) during the Arbitration
process (including without limitation during the discovery process or any Appeal) unless (a) prior to or after the time of disclosure
such information becomes public knowledge or part of the public domain, not as a result of any inaction or action of the receiving
party or its agents, (b) such information is required by a court order, subpoena or similar legal duress to be disclosed if such
receiving party has notified the other party thereof in writing and given it a reasonable opportunity to obtain a protective order
from a court of competent jurisdiction prior to disclosure, or (c) such information is disclosed to the receiving party’s
agents, representatives and legal counsel on a need to know basis who each agree in writing not to disclose such information to
any third party. Pursuant to Section 118(5) of the Arbitration Act, the arbitrator is hereby authorized and directed to issue
a protective order to prevent the disclosure of privileged information and confidential information upon the written request of
either party.

 

     

     

    

 

4.8 Authorization;
Timing; Scheduling Order. Subject to all other portions of these Arbitration Provisions, the parties hereby authorize and
direct the arbitrator to take such actions and make such rulings as may be necessary to carry out the parties’ intent for
the Arbitration proceedings to be efficient and expeditious. Pursuant to Section 120 of the Arbitration Act, the parties hereby
agree that an Arbitration Award must be made within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the Arbitration Commencement
Date. The arbitrator is hereby authorized and directed to hold a scheduling conference within ten (10) calendar days after the
Arbitration Commencement Date in order to establish a scheduling order with various binding deadlines for discovery, expert testimony,
and the submission of documents by the parties to enable the arbitrator to render a decision prior to the end of such 120-day
period.

 

4.9 Relief.
The arbitrator shall have the right to award or include in the Arbitration Award (or in a preliminary ruling) any relief which
the arbitrator deems proper under the circumstances, including, without limitation, specific performance and injunctive relief,
provided that the arbitrator may not award exemplary or punitive damages.

 

4.10 Fees
and Costs. As part of the Arbitration Award, the arbitrator is hereby directed to require the losing party (the party being
awarded the least amount of money by the arbitrator, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be determined without regard to
any statutory fines, penalties, fees, or other charges awarded to any party) to (a) pay the full amount of any unpaid costs and
fees of the Arbitration, and (b) reimburse the prevailing party for all reasonable attorneys’ fees, arbitrator costs and
fees, deposition costs, other discovery costs, and other expenses, costs or fees paid or otherwise incurred by the prevailing
party in connection with the Arbitration.

 

5. Arbitration
Appeal.

 

5.1 Initiation
of Appeal. Following the entry of the Arbitration Award, either party (the “Appellant”) shall have a period
of thirty (30) calendar days in which to notify the other party (the “Appellee”), in writing, that the Appellant
elects to appeal (the “Appeal”) the Arbitration Award (such notice, an “Appeal Notice”)
to a panel of arbitrators as provided in Paragraph 5.2 below. The date the Appellant delivers an Appeal Notice to the Appellee
is referred to herein as the “Appeal Date”. The Appeal Notice must be delivered to the Appellee in accordance
with the provisions of Paragraph 4.1 above with respect to delivery of an Arbitration Notice. In addition, together with delivery
of the Appeal Notice to the Appellee, the Appellant must also pay for (and provide proof of such payment to the Appellee together
with delivery of the Appeal Notice) a bond in the amount of 110% of the sum the Appellant owes to the Appellee as a result of
the Arbitration Award the Appellant is appealing. In the event an Appellant delivers an Appeal Notice to the Appellee (together
with proof of payment of the applicable bond) in compliance with the provisions of this Paragraph 5.1, the Appeal will occur as
a matter of right and, except as specifically set forth herein, will not be further conditioned. In the event a party does not
deliver an Appeal Notice (along with proof of payment of the applicable bond) to the other party within the deadline prescribed
in this Paragraph 5.1, such party shall lose its right to appeal the Arbitration Award. If no party delivers an Appeal Notice
(along with proof of payment of the applicable bond) to the other party within the deadline described in this Paragraph 5.1, the
Arbitration Award shall be final. The parties acknowledge and agree that any Appeal shall be deemed part of the parties’
agreement to arbitrate for purposes of these Arbitration Provisions and the Arbitration Act.

 

5.2 Selection
and Payment of Appeal Panel. In the event an Appellant delivers an Appeal Notice to the Appellee (together with proof of payment
of the applicable bond) in compliance with the provisions of Paragraph 5.1 above, the Appeal will be heard by a three (3) person
arbitration panel (the “Appeal Panel”).

 

(a)
Within ten (10) calendar days after the Appeal Date, the Appellee shall select and submit to the Appellant the names of
five (5) arbitrators that are designated as “neutrals” or qualified arbitrators by Utah ADR Services
(http://www.utahadrservices.com) (such five (5) designated persons hereunder are referred to herein as the “Proposed
Appeal Arbitrators”). For the avoidance of doubt, each Proposed Appeal Arbitrator must be qualified as a
“neutral” with Utah ADR Services, and shall not be the arbitrator who rendered the Arbitration Award being
appealed (the “Original Arbitrator”). Within five (5) calendar days after the Appellee has submitted to
the Appellant the names of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators, the Appellant must select, by written notice to the Appellee,
three (3) of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators to act as the members of the Appeal Panel. If the Appellant fails to select
three (3) of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators in writing within such 5-day period, then the Appellee may select such three (3)
arbitrators from the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to the Appellant.

 

     

     

    

 

(b)
If the Appellee fails to submit to the Appellant the names of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators within ten (10) calendar
days after the Appeal Date pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, then the Appellant may at any time prior to the Appellee so
designating the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators, identify the names of five (5) arbitrators that are designated as
“neutrals” or qualified arbitrators by Utah ADR Service (none of whom may be the Original Arbitrator) by written
notice to the Appellee. The Appellee may then, within five (5) calendar days after the Appellant has submitted notice of its
selected arbitrators to the Appellee, select, by written notice to the Appellant, three (3) of such selected arbitrators to
serve on the Appeal Panel. If the Appellee fails to select in writing within such 5-day period three (3) of the arbitrators
selected by the Appellant to serve as the members of the Appeal Panel, then the Appellant may select the three (3) members of
the Appeal Panel from the Appellant’s list of five (5) arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to the
Appellee.

 

(c)
If a selected Proposed Appeal Arbitrator declines or is otherwise unable to serve, then the party that selected such Proposed
Appeal Arbitrator may select one (1) of the other five (5) designated Proposed Appeal Arbitrators within three (3) calendar days
of the date a chosen Proposed Appeal Arbitrator declines or notifies the parties he or she is unable to serve as an arbitrator.
If at least three (3) of the five (5) designated Proposed Appeal Arbitrators decline or are otherwise unable to serve, then the
Proposed Appeal Arbitrator selection process shall begin again in accordance with this Paragraph 5.2; provided, however,
that any Proposed Appeal Arbitrators who have already agreed to serve shall remain on the Appeal Panel.

 

(d)
The date that all three (3) Proposed Appeal Arbitrators selected pursuant to this Paragraph 5.2 agree in writing (including
via email) delivered to both the Appellant and the Appellee to serve as members of the Appeal Panel hereunder is referred to
herein as the “Appeal Commencement Date”. No later than five (5) calendar days after the Appeal
Commencement Date, the Appellee shall designate in writing (including via email) to the Appellant and the Appeal Panel the
name of one (1) of the three (3) members of the Appeal Panel to serve as the lead arbitrator in the Appeal proceedings. Each
member of the Appeal Panel shall be deemed an arbitrator for purposes of these Arbitration Provisions and the Arbitration
Act, provided that, in conducting the Appeal, the Appeal Panel may only act or make determinations upon the approval or vote
of no less than the majority vote of its members, as announced or communicated by the lead arbitrator on the Appeal Panel. If
an arbitrator on the Appeal Panel ceases or is unable to act during the Appeal proceedings, a replacement arbitrator shall be
chosen in accordance with Paragraph 5.2 above to continue the Appeal as a member of the Appeal Panel. If Utah ADR
Services ceases to exist or to provide a list of neutrals, then the arbitrators for the Appeal Panel shall be selected under
the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association.

 

(d)
Subject to Paragraph 5.7 below, the cost of the Appeal Panel must be paid entirely by the Appellant.

 

5.3 Appeal
Procedure. The Appeal will be deemed an appeal of the entire Arbitration Award. In conducting the Appeal, the Appeal Panel
shall conduct a de novo review of all Claims described or otherwise set forth in the Arbitration Notice. Subject to the foregoing
and all other provisions of this Paragraph 5, the Appeal Panel shall conduct the Appeal in a manner the Appeal Panel considers
appropriate for a fair and expeditious disposition of the Appeal, may hold one or more hearings and permit oral argument, and
may review all previous evidence and discovery, together with all briefs, pleadings and other documents filed with the Original
Arbitrator (as well as any documents filed with the Appeal Panel pursuant to Paragraph 5.4(a) below). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in connection with the Appeal, the Appeal Panel shall not permit the parties to conduct any additional discovery or raise any
new Claims to be arbitrated, shall not permit new witnesses or affidavits, and shall not base any of its findings or determinations
on the Original Arbitrator’s findings or the Arbitration Award.

 

5.4 Timing.

 

(a) Within
seven (7) calendar days of the Appeal Commencement Date, the Appellant (i) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Appeal
Panel copies of the Appeal Notice, all discovery conducted in connection with the Arbitration, and all briefs, pleadings and other
documents filed with the Original Arbitrator (which material Appellee shall have the right to review and supplement if necessary),
and (ii) may, but is not required to, deliver to the Appeal Panel and to the Appellee a Memorandum in Support of the Appellant’s
arguments concerning or position with respect to all Claims, counterclaims, issues, or accountings presented or pleaded in the
Arbitration. Within seven (7) calendar days of the Appellant’s delivery of the Memorandum in Support, as applicable, the
Appellee shall deliver to the Appeal Panel and to the Appellant a Memorandum in Opposition to the Memorandum in Support. Within
seven (7) calendar days of the Appellee’s delivery of the Memorandum in Opposition, as applicable, the Appellant shall deliver
to the Appeal Panel and to the Appellee a Reply Memorandum to the Memorandum in Opposition. If the Appellant shall fail to substantially
comply with the requirements of clause (i) of this subparagraph (a), the Appellant shall lose its right to appeal the Arbitration
Award, and the Arbitration Award shall be final. If the Appellee shall fail to deliver the Memorandum in Opposition as required
above, or if the Appellant shall fail to deliver the Reply Memorandum as required above, then the Appellee or the Appellant, as
the case may be, shall lose its right to so deliver the same, and the Appeal shall proceed regardless.

 

     

     

    

 

(b)
 Subject to subparagraph (a) above, the parties hereby agree that the Appeal must be
heard by the Appeal Panel within thirty (30) calendar days of the Appeal Commencement Date, and that the Appeal Panel must render
its decision within thirty (30) calendar days after the Appeal is heard (and in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days after
the Appeal Commencement Date).

 

5.5 Appeal
Panel Award. The Appeal Panel shall issue its decision (the “Appeal Panel Award”) through the lead arbitrator
on the Appeal Panel. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the Appeal Panel Award shall (a) supersede in its entirety
and make of no further force or effect the Arbitration Award (provided that any protective orders issued by the Original Arbitrator
shall remain in full force and effect), (b) be final and binding upon the parties, with no further rights of appeal, (c) be the
sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any Claims, counterclaims, issues, or accountings presented or pleaded
in the Arbitration, and (d) be promptly payable in United States dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset (with respect to
monetary awards). Any costs or fees, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with or incident
to enforcing the Appeal Panel Award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against the party resisting such
enforcement. The Appeal Panel Award shall include Default Interest (with respect to monetary awards) at the rate specified in
the Note for Default Interest both before and after the Arbitration Award. Judgment upon the Appeal Panel Award will be entered
and enforced by a state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah.

 

5.6 Relief.
The Appeal Panel shall have the right to award or include in the Appeal Panel Award any relief which the Appeal Panel deems
proper under the circumstances, including, without limitation, specific performance and injunctive relief, provided that the Appeal
Panel may not award exemplary or punitive damages.

 

5.7 Fees
and Costs. As part of the Appeal Panel Award, the Appeal Panel is hereby directed to require the losing party (the party being
awarded the least amount of money by the arbitrator, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be determined without regard to
any statutory fines, penalties, fees, or other charges awarded to any party) to (a) pay the full amount of any unpaid costs and
fees of the Arbitration and the Appeal Panel, and (b) reimburse the prevailing party (the party being awarded the most amount
of money by the Appeal Panel, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be determined without regard to any statutory fines, penalties,
fees, or other charges awarded to any part) the reasonable attorneys’ fees, arbitrator and Appeal Panel costs and fees,
deposition costs, other discovery costs, and other expenses, costs or fees paid or otherwise incurred by the prevailing party
in connection with the Arbitration (including without limitation in connection with the Appeal).

 

6.
 Miscellaneous.

 

6.1 Severability.
If any part of these Arbitration Provisions is found to violate or be illegal under applicable law, then such provision shall
be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision enforceable under applicable law, and the remainder of the
Arbitration Provisions shall remain unaffected and in full force and effect.

 

6.2 Governing
Law. These Arbitration Provisions shall be governed by the laws of the State of Utah without regard to the conflict of laws
principles therein.

 

6.3 Interpretation.
The headings of these Arbitration Provisions are for convenience of reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation
of, these Arbitration Provisions.

 

6.4 Waiver.
No waiver of any provision of these Arbitration Provisions shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by
the party granting the waiver.

 

6.5 Time
is of the Essence. Time is expressly made of the essence with respect to each and every provision of these Arbitration Provisions.

DEPOSIT AGREEMENT dated as of [DATE], 2019 (the “Deposit Agreement”) among WIMI HOLOGRAM CLOUD INC. and its successors (the “Company”), JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as depositary hereunder (the “Depositary”), and all Holders and Beneficial Owners from time to time of American Depositary Receipts issued hereunder (“ADRs”) evidencing American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) representing deposited Shares (defined below). The Company hereby appoints the Depositary as depositary for the Deposited Securities and hereby authorizes and directs the Depositary to act in accordance with the terms set forth in this Deposit Agreement. All capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 1 or elsewhere in this Deposit Agreement. The parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.              Certain Definitions.

 

(a)                                 “ADR Register” is defined in paragraph (3) of the form of ADR (Transfers, Split-Ups and Combinations of ADRs).

 

(b)                                 “ADRs” mean the American Depositary Receipts executed and delivered hereunder. ADRs may be either in physical certificated form or Direct Registration ADRs (as hereinafter defined). ADRs in physical certificated form, and the terms and conditions governing the Direct Registration ADRs, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A annexed hereto (the “form of ADR”). The term “Direct Registration ADR” means an ADR, the ownership of which is recorded on the Direct Registration System. References to “ADRs” shall include certificated ADRs and Direct Registration ADRs, unless the context otherwise requires. The form of ADR is hereby incorporated herein and made a part hereof; the provisions of the form of ADR shall be binding upon the parties hereto.

 

(c)                                  Subject to paragraph (13) of the form of ADR, (Changes Affecting Deposited Securities) each “ADS” evidenced by an ADR represents the right to receive, and to exercise the beneficial ownership interests in, the number of Shares specified in the form of ADR attached hereto as Exhibit A (as amended from time to time) that are on deposit with the Depositary and/or the Custodian and a pro rata share in any other Deposited Securities, subject, in each case, to the terms of this Deposit Agreement and the ADSs. The ADS(s)-to-Share(s) ratio is subject to amendment as provided in the form of ADR (which may give rise to fees contemplated in paragraph (7) thereof).

 

(d)                                 “Beneficial Owner” means as to any ADS, any person or entity having a beneficial ownership interest in such ADS. A Beneficial Owner need not be the Holder of the ADR evidencing such ADS. If a Beneficial Owner of ADSs is not a Holder, it must rely on the Holder of the ADR(s) evidencing such ADSs in order to assert any rights or

 

1

 

receive any benefits under this Deposit Agreement. The arrangements between a Beneficial Owner of ADSs and the Holder of the corresponding ADRs may affect the Beneficial Owner’s ability to exercise any rights it may have.

 

(e)                                  “Custodian” means the agent or agents of the Depositary (singly or collectively, as the context requires) and any additional or substitute Custodian appointed pursuant to Section 9.

 

(f)                                   The terms “deliver”, “execute”, “issue”, “register”, “surrender”, “transfer” or “cancel”, when used with respect to Direct Registration ADRs, shall refer to an entry or entries or an electronic transfer or transfers in the Direct Registration System, and, when used with respect to ADRs in physical certificated form, shall refer to the physical delivery, execution, issuance, registration, surrender, transfer or cancellation of certificates representing the ADRs.

 

(g)                                  “Delivery Order” is defined in Section 3.

 

(h)                                 “Deposited Securities” as of any time means all Shares at such time deposited under this Deposit Agreement and any and all other Shares, securities, property and cash at such time held by the Depositary or the Custodian in respect or in lieu of such deposited Shares and other Shares, securities, property and cash. Deposited Securities are not intended to, and shall not, constitute proprietary assets of the Depositary, the Custodian or their nominees. Beneficial ownership in Deposited Securities is intended to be, and shall at all times during the term of the Deposit Agreement continue to be, vested in the Beneficial Owners of the ADSs representing such Deposited Securities.

 

(i)                                     “Direct Registration System” means the system for the uncertificated registration of ownership of securities established by The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and utilized by the Depositary pursuant to which the Depositary may record the ownership of ADRs without the issuance of a certificate, which ownership shall be evidenced by periodic statements issued by the Depositary to the Holders entitled thereto. For purposes hereof, the Direct Registration System shall include access to the Profile Modification System maintained by DTC which provides for automated transfer of ownership between DTC and the Depositary.

 

(j)                                    “Holder” means the person or persons in whose name an ADR is registered on the ADR Register. For all purposes under the Deposit Agreement and the ADRs, a Holder shall be deemed to have all requisite authority to act on behalf of any and all Beneficial Owners of the ADSs evidenced by the ADR(s) registered in such Holder’s name.

 

2

 

(k)                                 “Securities Act of 1933” means the United States Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended.

 

(l)                                     “Securities Exchange Act of 1934” means the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as from time to time amended.

 

(m)                             “Shares” mean the ordinary shares of the Company, and shall include the rights to receive Shares specified in paragraph (1) of the form of ADR (Issuance of ADSs).

 

(n)                                 “Transfer Office” is defined in paragraph (3) of the form of ADR (Transfers, Split-Ups and Combinations of ADRs).

 

(o)                                 “Withdrawal Order” is defined in Section 6.

 

2.              Form of ADRs.

 

(a)                                 Direct Registration ADRs. Notwithstanding anything in this Deposit Agreement or in the form of ADR to the contrary, ADSs shall be evidenced by Direct Registration ADRs, unless certificated ADRs are specifically requested by the Holder.

 

(b)                                 Certificated ADRs. ADRs in certificated form shall be printed or otherwise reproduced at the discretion of the Depositary in accordance with its customary practices in its American depositary receipt business, or at the request of the Company typewritten and photocopied on plain or safety paper, and shall be substantially in the form set forth in the form of ADR, with such changes as may be required by the Depositary or the Company to comply with their obligations hereunder, any applicable law, regulation or usage or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular ADRs are subject. ADRs may be issued in denominations of any number of ADSs. ADRs in certificated form shall be executed by the Depositary by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of the Depositary. ADRs in certificated form bearing the facsimile signature of anyone who was at the time of execution a duly authorized officer of the Depositary shall bind the Depositary, notwithstanding that such officer has ceased to hold such office prior to the delivery of such ADRs.

 

(c)                                  Binding Effect. Holders of ADRs, and the Beneficial Owners of the ADSs evidenced by such ADRs, shall each be bound by the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement and of the form of ADR, regardless of whether such ADRs are Direct Registration ADRs or certificated ADRs.

3.              Deposit of Shares.

 

(a)                                 Requirements. In connection with the deposit of Shares hereunder, the Depositary or the Custodian may require the following in a form satisfactory to it:

 

(i)                                     a written order directing the Depositary to issue to, or upon the written order of, the person or persons designated in such order a Direct Registration ADR or ADRs evidencing the number of ADSs representing such deposited Shares (a “Delivery Order”);

 

(ii)                                  Share certificates, and a certified share extract, reflecting the registration of the Shares in the name of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as depositary for the benefit of holders of ADRs or in such other name as the Depositary shall direct; and

 

(iii)                               instruments assigning to the Depositary, the Custodian or a nominee of either any distribution on or in respect of such deposited Shares or indemnity therefor; and

 

(b)                                 Holding of Deposited Securities.

5.              Distributions on Deposited Securities.

Delivery of Deposited Securities may be made by the delivery of certificates (which, if required by law shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by properly executed instruments of transfer or, if such certificates may be registered, registered in the name of such Holder or as ordered by such Holder in any Withdrawal Order) or by such other means as the Depositary may deem practicable, including, without limitation, by transfer of record ownership thereof to an account designated in the Withdrawal Order maintained either by the Company or an accredited intermediary, such as a bank, acting as a registrar for the Deposited Securities.

 

7.              Substitution of ADRs. The Depositary shall execute and deliver a new Direct Registration ADR in exchange and substitution for any mutilated certificated ADR upon cancellation thereof or in lieu of and in substitution for such destroyed, lost or stolen certificated ADR, unless the Depositary has notice that such ADR has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, upon the Holder thereof filing with the Depositary

8.              Cancellation and Destruction of ADRs; Maintenance of Records. All ADRs surrendered to the Depositary shall be cancelled by the Depositary.

WIMI HOLOGRAM CLOUD INC.

 

(Incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands)

 

JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., a national banking association organized under the laws of the United States of America, as depositary hereunder (the “Depositary”), hereby certifies that is the registered owner (a “Holder”) of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each (subject to paragraph (13) (Changes Affecting Deposited Securities)) representing [RATIO] ordinary share (including the rights to receive Shares described in paragraph (1) (Issuance of ADSs), “Shares” and, together with any other securities, cash or property from time to time held by the Depositary in respect or in lieu of deposited Shares, the “Deposited Securities”), of Wimi Hologram Cloud Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), deposited under the Deposit Agreement dated as of [DATE], 2019 (as amended from time to time, the “Deposit Agreement”) among the Company, the Depositary and all Holders and Beneficial Owners from time to time of American

 

A-1

 

Depositary Receipts issued thereunder (“ADRs”), each of whom by accepting an ADR becomes a party thereto. The Deposit Agreement and this ADR (which includes the provisions set forth on the reverse hereof) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the application of the conflict of law principles thereof. All capitalized terms used herein, and not defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Deposit Agreement.

 

(1)               Issuance of ADSs.

 

(a)               Issuance. This ADR is one of the ADRs issued under the Deposit Agreement. Subject to the other provisions hereof, the Depositary may so issue ADRs for delivery at the Transfer Office (as hereinafter defined) only against deposit of: (i) Shares in a form satisfactory to the Custodian; or (ii) rights to receive Shares from the Company or any registrar, transfer agent, clearing agent or other entity recording Share ownership or transactions.

 

(b)               Lending. In its capacity as Depositary, the Depositary shall not lend Shares or ADSs.

 

(c)               Representations and Warranties of Depositors. Every person depositing Shares under the Deposit Agreement represents and warrants that:

 

(i)                                     such Shares and the certificates therefor are duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid, nonassessable and legally obtained by such person,

 

(ii)                                  all pre-emptive and comparable rights, if any, with respect to such Shares have been validly waived or exercised,

 

(iii)                               the person making such deposit is duly authorized so to do,

 

(iv)                              the Shares presented for deposit are free and clear of any lien, encumbrance, security interest, charge, mortgage or adverse claim and

 

(v)                                 such Shares (A) are not “restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Restricted Securities”) unless at the time of deposit the requirements of paragraphs (c), (e), (f) and (h) of Rule 144 shall not apply and such Shares may be freely transferred and may otherwise be offered and sold freely in the United States or (B) have been

 

A-2

 

registered under the Securities Act of 1933. To the extent the person depositing Shares is an “affiliate” of the Company as such term is defined in Rule 144, the person also represents and warrants that upon the sale of the ADSs, all of the provisions of Rule 144 which enable the Shares to be freely sold (in the form of ADSs) will be fully complied with and, as a result thereof, all of the ADSs issued in respect of such Shares will not be on the sale thereof, Restricted Securities.

 

Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit and withdrawal of Shares and the issuance and cancellation of ADSs in respect thereof and the transfer of such ADSs.

 

(d)               The Depositary may refuse to accept for such deposit any Shares identified by the Company in order to facilitate compliance with the requirements of the laws, rules and regulations of the United States, including, but not limited to, the Securities Act of 1933 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

(2)               Withdrawal of Deposited Securities. Subject to paragraphs (4) (Certain Limitations to Registration, Transfer etc.) and (5) (Liability for Taxes, Duties and Other Charges), upon surrender of (a) a certificated ADR in a form satisfactory to the Depositary at the Transfer Office or (b) proper instructions and documentation in the case of a Direct Registration ADR, the Holder hereof is entitled to delivery at, or to the extent in dematerialized form from, the Custodian’s office of the Deposited Securities at the time represented by the ADSs evidenced by this ADR. At the request, risk and expense of the Holder hereof, the Depositary may deliver such Deposited Securities at such other place as may have been requested by the Holder. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Deposit Agreement or this ADR, the withdrawal of Deposited Securities may be restricted only for the reasons set forth in General Instruction I.A.(1) of Form F-6 (as such instructions may be amended from time to time) under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

(3)               Transfers, Split-Ups and Combinations of ADRs. The Depositary or its agent will keep, at a designated transfer office (the “Transfer Office”), (i) a register (the “ADR Register”) for the registration, registration of transfer, combination and split-up of ADRs, and, in the case of Direct Registration ADRs, shall include the Direct Registration System, which at all reasonable times will be open for inspection by Holders and the Company for the purpose of communicating with Holders in the interest of the business of the Company or a matter relating to the Deposit Agreement and (ii) facilities for the delivery and receipt of ADRs. The term ADR Register includes the Direct Registration System. Title to this ADR (and to the

 

A-3

 

Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced hereby), when properly endorsed (in the case of ADRs in certificated form) or upon delivery to the Depositary of proper instruments of transfer, is transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of negotiable instruments under the laws of the State of New York;  provided that the Depositary, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, may treat the person in whose name this ADR is registered on the ADR Register as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes and neither the Depositary nor the Company will have any obligation or be subject to any liability under the Deposit Agreement or any ADR to any Beneficial Owner, unless such Beneficial Owner is the Holder hereof. Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), this ADR is transferable on the ADR Register and may be split into other ADRs or combined with other ADRs into one ADR, evidencing the aggregate number of ADSs surrendered for split-up or combination, by the Holder hereof or by duly authorized attorney upon surrender of this ADR at the Transfer Office properly endorsed (in the case of ADRs in certificated form) or upon delivery to the Depositary of proper instruments of transfer and duly stamped as may be required by applicable law; provided that the Depositary may close the ADR Register at any time or from time to time when deemed expedient by it. At the request of a Holder, the Depositary shall, for the purpose of substituting a certificated ADR with a Direct Registration ADR, or vice versa, execute and deliver a certificated ADR or a Direct Registration ADR, as the case may be, for any authorized number of ADSs requested, evidencing the same aggregate number of ADSs as those evidenced by the certificated ADR or Direct Registration ADR, as the case may be, substituted.

 

(4)               Certain Limitations to Registration, Transfer etc. Prior to the issue, registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination of any ADR, the delivery of any distribution in respect thereof, or, subject to the last sentence of paragraph (2) (Withdrawal of Deposited Securities), the withdrawal of any Deposited Securities, and from time to time in the case of clause (b)(ii) of this paragraph (4), the Company, the Depositary or the Custodian may require:

 

(a)               payment with respect thereto of (i) any stock transfer or other tax or other governmental charge, (ii) any stock transfer or registration fees in effect for the registration of transfers of Shares or other Deposited Securities upon any applicable register and (iii) any applicable charges as provided in paragraph (7) (Charges of Depositary) of this ADR;

 

(b)               the production of proof satisfactory to it of (i) the identity of any signatory and genuineness of any signature and (ii) such other information, including without limitation, information as to citizenship, residence, exchange control approval, beneficial or other ownership of any securities, compliance with applicable law, regulations, provisions of or governing Deposited Securities and terms of the Deposit Agreement and this ADR, as it may deem necessary or proper; and

 

A-4

 

(c)               compliance with such regulations as the Depositary may establish consistent with the Deposit Agreement.

 

The issuance of ADRs, the acceptance of deposits of Shares, the registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination of ADRs or, subject to the last sentence of paragraph (2) (Withdrawal of Deposited Securities), the withdrawal of Deposited Securities may be suspended, generally or in particular instances, when the ADR Register or any register for Deposited Securities is closed or when any such action is deemed advisable by the Depositary.

 

(5)               Liability for Taxes, Duties and Other Charges. If any tax or other governmental charges (including any penalties and/or interest) shall become payable by or on behalf of the Custodian or the Depositary with respect to this ADR, any Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced hereby or any distribution thereon, including, without limitation, any Chinese enterprise income tax owed if the Circular Guoshuifa [2009] No. 82 issued by the Chinese State Administration of Taxation (SAT) or any other circular, edict, order or ruling, as issued and as from time to time amended, is applied or otherwise, such tax or other governmental charge shall be paid by the Holder hereof to the Depositary and by holding or having held this ADR or any ADSs evidenced hereby, the Holder and all Beneficial Owners hereof and thereof, and all prior Holders and Beneficial Owners hereof and thereof, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify, defend and save harmless each of the Depositary and its agents in respect of such tax or other governmental charge. Each Holder of this ADR and Beneficial Owner of the ADSs evidenced hereby, and each prior Holder and Beneficial Owner hereof and thereof (collectively, the “Tax Indemnitors”), by holding or having held an ADR or an interest in ADSs, acknowledges and agrees that the Depositary shall have the right to seek payment of amounts owing with respect to this ADR under this paragraph (5) from any one or more Tax Indemnitor(s) as determined by the Depositary in its sole discretion, without any obligation to seek payment from any other Tax Indemnitor(s). The Depositary may refuse to effect any registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination hereof or, subject to the last sentence of paragraph (2) (Withdrawal of Deposited Securities), any withdrawal of such Deposited Securities until such payment is made. The Depositary may also deduct from any distributions on or in respect of Deposited Securities, or may sell by public or private sale for the account of the Holder hereof any part or all of such Deposited Securities, and may apply such deduction or the proceeds of any such sale in payment of such tax or other governmental charge, the Holder hereof remaining liable for any deficiency, and shall reduce the number of ADSs evidenced hereby to reflect any such sales of Shares. In connection with any distribution to Holders, the Company will remit to the appropriate governmental authority or agency all amounts (if any) required to be withheld and owing to such authority or agency by the

 

A-5

 

Company; and the Depositary and the Custodian will remit to the appropriate governmental authority or agency all amounts (if any) required to be withheld and owing to such authority or agency by the Depositary or the Custodian. If the Depositary determines that any distribution in property other than cash (including Shares or rights) on Deposited Securities is subject to any tax that the Depositary or the Custodian is obligated to withhold, the Depositary may dispose of all or a portion of such property in such amounts and in such manner as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay such taxes, by public or private sale, and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale or the balance of any such property after deduction of such taxes to the Holders entitled thereto. Each Holder and Beneficial Owner agrees to indemnify the Depositary, the Company, the Custodian and any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates against, and hold each of them harmless from, any claims by any governmental authority with respect to taxes, additions to tax, penalties or interest arising out of any refund of taxes, reduced rate of withholding at source or other tax benefit obtained. The obligations of Holders and Beneficial Owners under this paragraph (5) shall survive any transfer of ADSs, any surrender of ADSs and withdrawal of Deposited Securities and any termination of the Deposit Agreement.

 

(6)               Disclosure of Interests. To the extent that the provisions of or governing any Deposited Securities may require disclosure of or impose limits on beneficial or other ownership of, or interests in, Deposited Securities, other Shares and other securities and may provide for blocking transfer, voting or other rights to enforce such disclosure or limits, Holders and Beneficial Owners agree to comply with all such disclosure requirements and ownership limitations and to comply with any reasonable Company instructions in respect thereof. The Company reserves the right to instruct Holders (and through any such Holder, the Beneficial Owners of ADSs evidenced by the ADRs registered in such Holder’s name) to deliver their ADSs for cancellation and withdrawal of the Deposited Securities so as to permit the Company to deal directly with the Holder and/or Beneficial Owner thereof as a holder of Shares and Holders and Beneficial Owners agree to comply with such instructions. The Depositary agrees to cooperate with the Company in its efforts to inform Holders of the Company’s exercise of its rights under this paragraph and agrees to consult with, and provide reasonable assistance without risk, liability or expense on the part of the Depositary, to the Company on the manner or manners in which it may enforce such rights with respect to any Holder, provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, the Depositary shall be indemnified by the Company in connection with the foregoing.

 

(7)               Charges of Depositary.

 

(a)               Rights of the Depositary. The Depositary may charge, and collect from, (i) each person to whom ADSs are issued, including, without limitation,

(b)               Additional charges by the Depositary. The following additional charges shall also be incurred by the Holders, the Beneficial Owners, by any party depositing or withdrawing Shares or by any party surrendering ADSs and/or to whom ADSs are issued (including, without limitation, issuances pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split declared by the Company or an exchange of stock regarding the ADSs or the Deposited Securities or a distribution of ADSs pursuant to paragraph (10) (Distributions on Deposited Securities), whichever is applicable:

(iii)                               an aggregate fee of U.S.$0.05 or less per ADS per calendar year (or portion thereof) for services performed by the Depositary in administering the ADRs (which fee may be charged on a periodic basis during each calendar year and shall be assessed against Holders as of the record date or record dates set by the Depositary during each calendar year and shall be payable at the sole discretion of the Depositary by billing such Holders or by deducting such charge from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions), and

 

A-7

(c)               Other Obligations and Charges. The Company will pay all other charges and expenses of the Depositary and any agent of the Depositary (except the Custodian) pursuant to agreements from time to time between the Company and the Depositary, except:

(ii)                                  SWIFT, cable, telex and facsimile transmission and delivery charges incurred at the request of persons depositing, or Holders delivering Shares, ADRs or Deposited Securities (which are payable by such persons or Holders);

 

(iii)                               transfer or registration fees for the registration or transfer of Deposited Securities on any applicable register in connection with the deposit or withdrawal of Deposited Securities (which are payable by persons depositing Shares or Holders withdrawing Deposited Securities); and

 

(iv)                              in connection with the conversion of foreign currency into U.S. dollars, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. shall deduct out of such foreign currency the fees, expenses and other charges charged by it and/or its agent (which may be a division, branch or affiliate) so appointed in connection with such conversion.

A-8

 

conversion of foreign currency. Such charges may at any time and from time to time be changed by agreement between the Company and the Depositary. For further details see https://www.adr.com.

 

(d)               Disclosure of Potential Depositary Payments.

The Depositary may make available to the Company a set amount or a portion of the Depositary fees charged in respect of the ADR program or otherwise upon such terms and conditions as the Company and the Depositary may agree from time to time.

 

(e)                The right of the Depositary to receive payment of fees, charges and expenses as provided above shall survive the termination of the Deposit Agreement. As to any Depositary, upon the resignation or removal of such Depositary, such right shall extend for those fees, charges and expenses incurred prior to the effectiveness of such resignation or removal.

 

(8)              Available Information. The Deposit Agreement, the provisions of or governing Deposited Securities and any written communications from the Company, which are both received by the Custodian or its nominee as a holder of Deposited Securities and made generally available to the holders of Deposited Securities, are available for inspection by Holders at the offices of the Depositary and the Custodian, at the Transfer Office, on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s website, or upon request from the Depositary (which request may be refused by the Depositary at its discretion). The Depositary will distribute copies of such communications (or English translations or summaries thereof) to Holders when furnished by the Company. The Company is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and accordingly files certain reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

[FORM OF REVERSE OF ADR]

 

(10)                Distributions on Deposited Securities. Subject to paragraphs (4)  (Certain Limitations to Registration, Transfer etc.) and (5) (Liability for Taxes,  Duties and other Charges), to the extent practicable, the Depositary will distribute to each Holder entitled thereto on the record date set by the Depositary therefor at such Holder’s address shown on the ADR Register, in proportion to the number of Deposited Securities (on which the following distributions on Deposited Securities are received by the Custodian) represented by ADSs evidenced by such Holder’s ADRs:

 

(a)               Cash. Any U.S. dollars available to the Depositary resulting from a cash dividend or other cash distribution or the net proceeds of sales of any other distribution or portion thereof authorized in this paragraph (10) (“Cash”), on an averaged or other practicable basis, subject to (i) appropriate adjustments for taxes withheld, (ii) such distribution being impermissible or impracticable with respect to certain Holders, and (iii) deduction of the Depositary’s and/or its agents’ fees and expenses in (1) converting any foreign currency to U.S. dollars by sale or in such other manner as the Depositary may determine to the extent that it determines that such conversion may be made on a reasonable basis, (2) transferring foreign currency or U.S. dollars to the United States by such means as the Depositary may determine to the extent that it determines that such transfer may be made on a reasonable basis, (3)      obtaining any approval or license of any governmental authority required for such conversion or transfer, which is obtainable at a reasonable cost and within a reasonable time and (4) making any sale by public or private means in any commercially reasonable manner.

 

(b)               Shares. (i) Additional ADRs evidencing whole ADSs representing any Shares available to the Depositary resulting from a dividend or free distribution on Deposited Securities consisting of Shares (a “Share Distribution”) and (ii) U.S. dollars available to it resulting from the net proceeds of sales of Shares received in a Share Distribution, which Shares would give rise to fractional ADSs if additional ADRs were issued therefor, as in the case of Cash.

 

(c)               Rights. (i) Warrants or other instruments in the discretion of the Depositary representing rights to acquire additional ADRs in respect of any rights to subscribe for additional Shares or rights of any nature available to the Depositary as a result of a distribution on Deposited Securities (“Rights”), to the extent that the Company timely furnishes to the Depositary evidence satisfactory to the Depositary that the Depositary may lawfully distribute the same (the Company has no obligation to so furnish such evidence), or (ii) to the extent the Company does not so furnish such evidence and sales of Rights are practicable, any U.S. dollars available to the Depositary from the net proceeds of sales of Rights as in the case of Cash, or (iii) to

 

A-11

 

the extent the Company does not so furnish such evidence and such sales cannot practicably be accomplished by reason of the nontransferability of the Rights, limited markets therefor, their short duration or otherwise, nothing (and any Rights may lapse).

 

(d)               Other Distributions. (i) Securities or property available to the Depositary resulting from any distribution on Deposited Securities other than Cash, Share Distributions and Rights (“Other Distributions”), by any means that the Depositary may deem equitable and practicable, or (ii) to the extent the Depositary deems distribution of such securities or property not to be equitable and practicable, any U.S. dollars available to the Depositary from the net proceeds of sales of Other Distributions as in the case of Cash.

 

The Depositary reserves the right to utilize a division, branch or affiliate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to direct, manage and/or execute any public and/or private sale of securities hereunder. Such division, branch and/or affiliate may charge the Depositary a fee in connection with such sales, which fee is considered an expense of the Depositary contemplated above and/or under paragraph (7) (Charges of Depositary). Any U.S. dollars available will be distributed by checks drawn on a bank in the United States for whole dollars and cents. Fractional cents will be withheld without liability and dealt with by the Depositary in accordance with its then current practices. All purchases and sales of securities will be handled by the Depositary in accordance with its then current policies, which are currently set forth in the “Depositary Receipt Sale and Purchase of Security” section of https://www.adr.com/Investors/FindOutAboutDRs, the location and contents of which the Depositary shall be solely responsible for.

 

(11)                Record Dates. The Depositary may, after consultation with the Company if practicable, fix a record date (which, to the extent applicable, shall be as near as practicable to any corresponding record date set by the Company) for the determination of the Holders who shall be responsible for the fee assessed by the Depositary for administration of the ADR program and for any expenses provided for in paragraph (7) hereof as well as for the determination of the Holders who shall be entitled to receive any distribution on or in respect of Deposited Securities, to give instructions for the exercise of any voting rights, to receive any notice or to act or be obligated in respect of other matters and only such Holders shall be so entitled or obligated.

 

(12)                Voting of Deposited Securities.

 

(a)               Notice of any Meeting or Solicitation. As soon as practicable after receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of Shares are entitled to vote,

 

A-12

 

or of solicitation of consents or proxies from holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall fix the ADS record date in accordance with paragraph (11) above provided that if the Depositary receives a written request from the Company in a timely manner and at least 30 days prior to the date of such vote or meeting, the Depositary shall, at the Company’s expense and provided no legal prohibitions exist, distribute to Holders a notice (the “Voting Notice”) stating (i) final information particular to such vote and meeting and any solicitation materials, (ii) that each Holder on the record date set by the Depositary will, subject to any applicable provisions of the laws of the Cayman Islands, be entitled to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced by such Holder’s ADRs and (iii) the manner in which such instructions may be given, including instructions to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company. Each Holder shall be solely responsible for the forwarding of Voting Notices to the Beneficial Owners of ADSs registered in such Holder’s name.           There is no guarantee that Holders and Beneficial Owners generally or any Holder or Beneficial Owner in particular will receive the notice described above with sufficient time to enable such Holder or Beneficial Owner to return any voting instructions to the Depositary in a timely manner.

 

(b)               Voting of Deposited Securities. Following actual receipt by the ADR department responsible for proxies and voting of Holders’ instructions (including, without limitation, instructions of any entity or entities acting on behalf of the nominee for DTC), the Depositary shall, in the manner and on or before the time established by the Depositary for such purpose, endeavor to vote or cause to be voted the Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced by such Holders’ ADRs in accordance with such instructions insofar as practicable and permitted under the provisions of or governing Deposited Securities. The Depositary will not itself exercise any voting discretion in respect of any Deposited Securities.

 

(c)               Alternative Methods of Distributing Materials. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Deposit Agreement or any ADR, the Depositary may, to the extent not prohibited by any law, rule or regulation or the rules and/or requirements of the stock exchange on which the ADSs are listed, in lieu of distribution of the materials provided to the Depositary in connection with any meeting of or solicitation of consents or proxies from holders of Deposited Securities, distribute to the Holders a notice that provides Holders with or otherwise publicizes to Holders instructions on how to retrieve such materials or receive such materials upon request (i.e., by reference to a website containing the materials for retrieval or a contact for requesting copies of the materials). Holders are strongly encouraged to forward their voting instructions as soon as possible. Voting instructions will not be deemed received until such time as the ADR department responsible for proxies and voting has

A-18

 

increases any fees or charges (other than stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges, transfer or registration fees, SWIFT, cable, telex or facsimile transmission costs, delivery costs or other such expenses), or that shall otherwise prejudice any substantial existing right of Holders or Beneficial Owners, shall become effective 30 days after notice of such amendment shall have been given to the Holders. Every Holder and Beneficial Owner at the time any amendment to the Deposit Agreement so becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such ADR, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement as amended thereby. In no event shall any amendment impair the right of the Holder of any ADR to surrender such ADR and receive the Deposited Securities represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any governmental body or regulatory body should adopt new laws, rules or regulations which would require amendment or supplement of the Deposit Agreement or the form of ADR to ensure compliance therewith, the Company and the Depositary may amend or supplement the Deposit Agreement and the ADR at any time in accordance with such changed laws, rules or regulations. Such amendment or supplement to the Deposit Agreement in such circumstances may become effective before a notice of such amendment or supplement is given to Holders or within any other period of time as required for compliance. Notice of any amendment to the Deposit Agreement or form of ADRs shall not need to describe in detail the specific amendments effectuated thereby, and failure to describe the specific amendments in any such notice shall not render such notice invalid, provided, however, that, in each such case, the notice given to the Holders identifies a means for Holders and Beneficial Owners to retrieve or receive the text of such amendment (i.e., upon retrieval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s, the Depositary’s or the Company’s website or upon request from the Depositary).

 

(17)                Termination. The Depositary may, and shall at the written direction of the Company, terminate the Deposit Agreement and this ADR by mailing notice of such termination to the Holders at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination; provided, however, if the Depositary shall have (i) resigned as Depositary hereunder, notice of such termination by the Depositary shall not be provided to Holders unless a successor depositary shall not be operating hereunder within 60 days of the date of such resignation, or (ii) been removed as Depositary hereunder, notice of such termination by the Depositary shall not be provided to Holders unless a successor depositary shall not be operating hereunder on the 60th day

 

A-19

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Depositary may terminate the Deposit Agreement without notice to the Company, but subject to giving 30 days’ notice to the Holders, under the following circumstances: (i) in the event of the Company’s bankruptcy or insolvency, (ii) if the Company effects (or will effect) a redemption of all or substantially all of the Deposited Securities, or a cash or share distribution representing a return of all or substantially all of the value of the Deposited Securities, or (iii) there occurs a merger, consolidation, sale of assets or other transaction as a result of which securities or other property are delivered in exchange for or in lieu of Deposited Securities.

 

After the date so fixed for termination, (a) all Direct Registration ADRs shall cease to be eligible for the Direct Registration System and shall be considered ADRs issued on the ADR Register and (b) the Depositary shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that the ADSs cease to be DTC eligible so that neither DTC nor any of its nominees shall thereafter be a Holder. At such time as the ADSs cease to be DTC eligible and/or neither DTC nor any of its nominees is a Holder, the Depositary shall (a) instruct its Custodian to deliver all Deposited Securities to the Company along with a general stock power that refers to the names set forth on the ADR Register and  (b) provide the Company with a copy of the ADR Register (which copy may be sent by email or by any means permitted under the notice provisions of the Deposit Agreement). Upon receipt of such Deposited Securities and the ADR Register, the Company shall use its best efforts to issue to each Holder a Share certificate representing the Shares represented by the ADSs reflected on the ADR Register in such Holder’s name and to deliver such Share certificate to the Holder at the address set forth on the ADR Register. After providing such instruction to the Custodian and delivering a copy of the ADR Register to the Company, the Depositary and its agents will perform no further acts under the Deposit Agreement and this ADR and shall cease to have any obligations under the Deposit Agreement and/or the ADRs. After the Company receives the copy of the ADR Register and the Deposited Securities, the Company shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement except (i) to distribute the Shares to the Holders entitled thereto and (ii) for its obligations to the Depositary and its agents.

 

(18)                Appointment; Acknowledgements and Agreements. Each Holder and each Beneficial Owner, upon acceptance of any ADSs or ADRs (or any interest in any of them) issued in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement shall be deemed for all purposes to (a) be a party to and bound by the terms of the Deposit Agreement and the applicable ADR(s), (b) appoint the Depositary its attorney-in-fact, with full power to delegate, to act on its behalf and to take any and all actions contemplated in the Deposit Agreement and the applicable ADR(s), to adopt any and all procedures necessary to comply with applicable law and to take

 

A-20

 

such action as the Depositary in its sole discretion may deem necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Deposit Agreement and the applicable ADR(s), the taking of such actions to be the conclusive determinant of the necessity and appropriateness thereof, and (c) acknowledge and agree that (i) nothing in the Deposit Agreement or any ADR shall give rise to a partnership or joint venture among the parties thereto nor establish a fiduciary or similar relationship among such parties, (ii) the Depositary, its divisions, branches and affiliates, and their respective agents, may from time to time be in the possession of non-public information about the Company, Holders, Beneficial Owners and/or their respective affiliates, (iii) the Depositary and its divisions, branches and affiliates may at any time have multiple banking relationships with the Company, Holders, Beneficial Owners and/or the affiliates of any of them, (iv) the Depositary and its divisions, branches and affiliates may, from time to time, be engaged in transactions in which parties adverse to the Company or the Holders or Beneficial Owners may have interests, (v) nothing contained in the Deposit Agreement or any ADR(s) shall (A) preclude the Depositary or any of its divisions, branches or affiliates from engaging in such transactions or establishing or maintaining such relationships, or (B) obligate the Depositary or any of its divisions, branches or affiliates to disclose such transactions or relationships or to account for any profit made or payment received in such transactions or relationships, (vi) the Depositary shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any information held by any branch, division or affiliate of the Depositary and (vii) notice to a Holder shall be deemed, for all purposes of the Deposit Agreement and this ADR, to constitute notice to any and all Beneficial Owners of the ADSs evidenced by such Holder’s ADRs. For all purposes under the Deposit Agreement and this ADR, the Holder hereof shall be deemed to have all requisite authority to act on behalf of any and all Beneficial Owners of the ADSs evidenced by this ADR.

 

(19)                Waiver. EACH PARTY TO THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT (INCLUDING, FOR AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, EACH HOLDER AND BENEFICIAL OWNER OF, AND/OR HOLDER OF INTERESTS IN, ADSS OR ADRS) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE DEPOSITARY AND/OR THE COMPANY DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SHARES OR OTHER DEPOSITED SECURITIES, THE ADSs OR THE ADRs, THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN, OR THE BREACH HEREOF OR THEREOF (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, COMMON LAW OR ANY OTHER THEORY).
