The Indemnified Party shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to any Third Party Claim for which indemnity is sought under this Agreement, other than any privileged communications between the Indemnifying Party and its counsel, and shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to retain separate co-counsel and participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement (except for its consent required under Section 6.2(b) above) of any Third Party Claim assumed by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 6.2(b).

 

(d)          In the event of a Third Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense or fails to make such an election within thirty (30) days of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle, compromise or pay such action or claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided that, any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

THIS NOTE AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE CONVERSION HEREOF ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

 

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

[·], 2019 (“Date of Issuance”)

 

US$[·]

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and subject to the terms and conditions of this convertible promissory note (this “Note”), Uxin Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [•], a [company incorporated under the laws of [•]](the “Purchaser”), or its assigns, in lawful money of the United States of America the principal amount of [•] Dollars (US$[•]) (the “Principal Amount”), plus accrued interest thereon, on [·], 2020 (the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier duly converted in full into the Conversion Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Note.

 

This Note is issued pursuant to the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, dated July 12, 2019, by and between the Company, the Purchaser and certain other parties thereto (the “Convertible Note Purchase Agreement”), and is subject to the terms and conditions thereof.  In case of any conflict between this Note and the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, the provisions of the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement shall control and govern.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement.

 

The following is a statement of the rights of the Purchaser and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the Purchaser, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:

 

1.                                      Interest Rate.  This Note shall bear interest on the outstanding Principal Amount at a simple interest rate of ten percent (10.0%) per annum from the Date of Issuance until this Note is fully repaid or redeemed; provided, that if any portion of this Note is duly converted into the Conversion Shares pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4 hereof, interest shall cease to accrue on the portion of the Principal Amount being converted (and, for the avoidance of doubt, continue to accrue on any outstanding Principal Amount not being converted). Accrued interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and actual days elapsed.

 

2.                                      Repayment of this Note.

 

A-1

 

(a)           Unless to the extent earlier converted into Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the outstanding Principal Amount (other than any portion of the Principal Amount converted pursuant to Section 4 hereof) and the interest accrued thereon shall be due and payable by the Company upon the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date, and (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default set forth in Section 5 hereof (the “Due Date”).  Upon the due conversion in full of this Note pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4 hereof, any and all payment obligations of the Company under this Note and the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement shall be fully discharged.

 

(b)           All amounts payable on or in respect of this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be paid to the Purchaser in lawful money of the United States of America within three (3) Business Days after the Due Date. The Company shall make such payments of the unpaid Principal Amount (other than any portion of the Principal Amount converted pursuant to Section 4 hereof), together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds for the account of the Purchaser as the Purchaser may designate and notify in writing to the Company at least five (5) Business Days prior to the payment date. Payment shall be credited first to accrued interest due and payable, and any remainder shall be applied to the outstanding Principal Amount.

 

(c)           All payments of principal and interest in respect of this Note by or on behalf of the Company shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the Cayman Islands or the PRC or any political subdivision thereof or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax, unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges is required by law.

 

3.                                      Seniority.  This Note ranks senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s other indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to this Note, pari passu in right of payment to any of the Company’s other indebtedness and liabilities that are not so subordinated, junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally junior to all indebtedness and liabilities incurred by the Company’s Subsidiaries.

 

4.                                      Conversion.

 

(a)           Conversion.

 

(i) During the period from and including the 181st day after the Date of Issuance to and including the Maturity Date, the Purchaser shall, by written notice to the Company, have the right but not the obligation to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount to a number of Conversion Shares at the applicable Conversion Price, provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not exercise such right to convert more than twice.  As used in this Note, “Conversion Price” means US$1.663, as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof.

 

(ii) The number of the Conversion Shares to be issued upon any conversion pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Principal Amount subject to such conversion by the Conversion Price.

 

A-2

 

(b)           No Fractional Shares.  Upon the conversion of this Note into the Conversion Shares, in lieu of any fractional shares to which the Purchaser would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay the holder of this Note cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price.

 

(c)           Mechanics of Conversion.  In the event that the Purchaser has delivered to the Company a written notice in accordance with Section 4(a)(i) hereof specifying that the Purchaser irrevocably elects to convert this Note (whether in part or in full), the Company shall at its expense take all actions and execute all documents necessary to effect the issuance of all the Conversion Shares (including giving all necessary instructions to update the register of members to effect such issuance) within two (2) weeks of delivery of the applicable written notice to convert, and deliver to the Purchaser, upon surrender of this Note, a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion and the updated register of members of the Company indicating that the Purchaser is the holder of such Conversion Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver the Conversion Shares until the Purchaser has surrendered this Note to the Company.

 

(d)           Adjustments to Conversion Price.  The Conversion Price shall be adjusted according to the following items: When any of the Principal Amount is outstanding at any time, (a) if the Company: (i) pays dividends in the form of securities or security equivalents of the Company; (ii) splits the outstanding securities of the Company in order to increase the number of shares; or (iii) incorporates outstanding securities of the Company (including in the form of a reverse share split) to decrease the number of shares, the then-existing Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, whose numerator is the number of outstanding securities of the Company immediately before the occurrence of the matter, and whose denominator is the number of outstanding securities of the Company immediately after the occurrence of the matter; (b) if the Company issues Ordinary Shares to all or substantially all shareholders as a class by way of rights issue, or issue or grant to all or substantially all shareholders as a class, by way of rights issue, of options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Ordinary Shares, in each case at less than 95 per cent of the closing price of the ADSs divided by the ratio of ADS to share (the “Market Price Per Share”) on the last trading day preceding the date of the announcement of the terms of the issue or grant, the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, whose numerator is the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before such announcement plus the number of Ordinary Shares which the aggregate amount (if any) payable for the Ordinary Shares issued by way of rights issue or for the options or warrants or other rights issued or granted by way of rights issue and for the total number of Ordinary Shares comprised therein would subscribe, purchase or otherwise acquire at Market Price Per Share, and the denominator is the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before such announcement plus the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares issued or, as the case may be, comprised in the issue or grant, or (c) if the Company makes (or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive) a dividend or other distribution to the holders of Ordinary Shares payable in any other asset or property (including cash, but excluding dividends by securities or security equivalents of the Company), then, and in each such event, provision shall be made so that, upon conversion of the Note thereafter, the Purchaser shall receive, in addition to the number of Ordinary Shares issuable thereon, such other asset or property which the holder of such Ordinary Shares would have received in connection with such event had the

 

A-3

 

outstanding Principal Amount been converted into Ordinary Shares immediately prior to each such event, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. Any adjustment made according to the aforesaid conditions shall come into effect immediately after the record date of deciding the shareholders having rights to obtain dividends or allocations and, for the purpose of any share split, incorporation or reclassification, shall come into effect immediately after such matters come into effect.

 

5.                                      Events of Default.  Each of the following events shall be considered an event of default (the “Event of Default”) with respect to this Note:

 

(a)           Failure to Pay.  The Company shall fail to pay when due (i) any principal payment or (ii) any interest payment or other payment required under the terms of this Note on the date due, and such payment shall not have been made within ten (10) Business Days after the date due.

 

(b)           Voluntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings.  The Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (ii) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they mature, (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of its or any of its creditors, (iv) be dissolved or liquidated, (v) commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession of its property by any official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or (vi) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing.  As used in this Note, “Significant Subsidiary” means any Subsidiary of the Company, the total assets (after intercompany eliminations) of which exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the consolidated total assets of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the end of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal year.

 

(c)           Involuntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings.  Proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, or of all or a substantial part of their property, or an involuntary case or other proceedings seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or its Significant Subsidiaries, or the debts thereof, under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect shall be commenced and either (i) an order for relief shall be entered or (ii) such proceeding shall not be dismissed or discharged within 45 days of commencement.

 

(d)           Cessation to be a Public Company. The Company’s securities shall cease to be publicly traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

 

(e)           Change of Control. Any Change of Control shall occur. For the purpose of this provision 5(e), a “Change of Control” occurs if any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) other than (i) Mr. Kun Dai, or any of his Affiliates, (ii) any of Warburg Pincus, TPG Capital, 58.com Holdings Inc. or any of its respective Affiliates, or (iii) any “group” solely consisting of the Persons set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% or more voting power of the Company’s issued and outstanding securities.

 

A-4

 

(f)            Breach of Other Obligations. The Company fails to perform or comply with one or more of its other obligations in this Note or the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement in any material respect, or breach any representation or warranty of the Company contained in the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement in any material respect, and in each case such failure is not capable of being cured or is not cured within thirty (30) days.

 

(g)           Material Adverse Effect. Any one or more events, facts, conditions, changes or developments shall have occurred that have caused or constituted or could be reasonably expected to cause or constitute, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(h)           Cross-Default. Any Significant Indebtedness (as defined below) of the Company or its Subsidiaries is not paid when due or (as the case may be) within any originally applicable grace period, or any such Significant Indebtedness becomes (or becomes capable of being declared) due and payable prior to its stated maturity otherwise than at the option of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or the Company or its Subsidiaries fails to pay when due any amount payable by it under any guarantee or indemnity of any Significant Indebtedness. For the purpose of this Section 5(i), “Significant Indebtedness” means, with respect to each event mentioned above, one or more indebtedness with an aggregate amount of no less than US$10,000,000 or its equivalent in any other currency or currencies.

 

(i)            Unsatisfied Judgment. One or more judgment(s) or order(s) for the payment of an aggregate amount of no less than US$10,000,000 is rendered against the Company or its Subsidiaries and continue(s) unappealed, unsatisfied and unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days after the date(s) thereof or, if later, the date therein specified for payment.

 

(j)            Security Enforced. A secured party takes possession, or a receiver, manager or other similar officer is appointed, of the whole or a material part of the undertaking, assets and revenues of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

 

(k)           Enforcement Proceedings. A distress, attachment, execution, seizure before judgment or other legal process is levied, enforced or sued out on or against any material part of the property, assets or revenue of the Company or its Significant Subsidiaries.

 

(l)            Winding up, etc.  An order is made by any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction or an effective resolution is passed for the winding up, liquidation or dissolution of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (other than, in the case of a Significant Subsidiary of the Company, for the purposes of or pursuant to an amalgamation, reorganization or restructuring whilst solvent).

 

6.                                      Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 5 hereof, at the option and upon the written declaration of the Purchaser at the Purchaser’s sole discretion, the entire unpaid Principal Amount and unpaid interest accrued thereon shall become forthwith due and payable, and the Purchaser may immediately enforce payment of all amounts due and owing under this Note and exercise any and all other remedies granted to it at law, in equity or otherwise.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 5(e) hereof, the Company shall, if so requested by the Purchaser, cooperate in good faith with the Purchaser with respect to the Purchaser’s efforts to receive equity securities of the

 

A-5

 

surviving entity (if any) in lieu of the acceleration of the Principal Amount and unpaid interest accrued thereon.

 

7.                                      Prepayment. The Principal Amount or interest accrued thereon may not be prepaid prior to the Maturity Date without the written consent of the Purchaser.

 

8.                                      No Rights as Shareholder Prior to Conversion.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser has not been conferred with any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote as such, by any of the provisions hereof or any provisions under the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, or any right (a) to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, (b) to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of shares, reclassification of shares, change of par value, or change of shares to no par value, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, conveyance, or otherwise), (c) to receive notice of meetings or to receive in-kind dividends or subscription rights or otherwise, in each case until this Note shall have been converted in whole or in part and all the Conversion Shares issuable upon such whole or partial conversion hereof shall have been issued, as provided for in this Note and the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser shall be conferred with all rights of a shareholder of the Company immediately upon any partial or full conversion of the Note with respect to such Conversion Shares.

Upon the termination of all rights under this Note, this Note shall be surrendered by the Purchaser to the Company and this Note so surrendered shall be cancelled and shall not be reissued. For the avoidance of doubt, the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement shall not be terminated merely due to a termination of all rights under this Note, and shall remain in force and effect or terminate pursuant to the terms thereof.

The following is a statement of the rights of the Purchaser and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the Purchaser, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:

 

1.                                      Interest Rate.  This Note shall bear interest on the outstanding Principal Amount at a simple interest rate of eleven percent (11.0%) per annum from the Date of Issuance until this Note is fully repaid or redeemed; provided, that if any portion of this Note is duly converted into the Conversion Shares pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4 hereof, interest shall cease to accrue on the portion of the Principal Amount being converted (and, for the avoidance of doubt, continue to accrue on any outstanding Principal Amount not being converted). Accrued interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and actual days elapsed.

 

2.                                      Repayment of this Note.

 

B-1

 

(a)           Unless to the extent earlier converted into Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the outstanding Principal Amount (other than any portion of the Principal Amount converted pursuant to Section 4 hereof) and the interest accrued thereon shall be due and payable by the Company upon the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date, and (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default set forth in Section 5 hereof (the “Due Date”).  Upon the due conversion in full of this Note pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4 hereof, any and all payment obligations of the Company under this Note and the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement shall be fully discharged.

 

(b)           All amounts payable on or in respect of this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be paid to the Purchaser in lawful money of the United States of America within three (3) Business Days after the Due Date. The Company shall make such payments of the unpaid Principal Amount (other than any portion of the Principal Amount converted pursuant to Section 4 hereof), together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds for the account of the Purchaser as the Purchaser may designate and notify in writing to the Company at least five (5) Business Days prior to the payment date. Payment shall be credited first to accrued interest due and payable, and any remainder shall be applied to the outstanding Principal Amount.

 

(c)           All payments of principal and interest in respect of this Note by or on behalf of the Company shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the Cayman Islands or the PRC or any political subdivision thereof or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax, unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges is required by law.

 

3.                                      Seniority.  This Note ranks senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s other indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to this Note, pari passu in right of payment to any of the Company’s other indebtedness and liabilities that are not so subordinated, junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally junior to all indebtedness and liabilities incurred by the Company’s Subsidiaries.

 

4.                                      Conversion.

 

(a)           Conversion.

 

(i) During the period from and including the 181st day after the Date of Issuance to and including the Maturity Date, the Purchaser shall, by written notice to the Company, have the right but not the obligation to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount to a number of Conversion Shares at the applicable Conversion Price, provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not exercise such right to convert more than twice.  As used in this Note, “Conversion Price” means US$1.663, as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof.

 

(ii) The number of the Conversion Shares to be issued upon any conversion pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Principal Amount subject to such conversion by the Conversion Price.

 

B-2

 

(b)           No Fractional Shares.  Upon the conversion of this Note into the Conversion Shares, in lieu of any fractional shares to which the Purchaser would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay the holder of this Note cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price.

 

(c)           Mechanics of Conversion.  In the event that the Purchaser has delivered to the Company a written notice in accordance with Section 4(a)(i) hereof specifying that the Purchaser irrevocably elects to convert this Note (whether in part or in full), the Company shall at its expense take all actions and execute all documents necessary to effect the issuance of all the Conversion Shares (including giving all necessary instructions to update the register of members to effect such issuance) within two (2) weeks of delivery of the applicable written notice to convert, and deliver to the Purchaser, upon surrender of this Note, a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion and the updated register of members of the Company indicating that the Purchaser is the holder of such Conversion Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver the Conversion Shares until the Purchaser has surrendered this Note to the Company.

 

(d)           Adjustments to Conversion Price.  The Conversion Price shall be adjusted according to the following items: When any of the Principal Amount is outstanding at any time, (a) if the Company: (i) pays dividends in the form of securities or security equivalents of the Company; (ii) splits the outstanding securities of the Company in order to increase the number of shares; or (iii) incorporates outstanding securities of the Company (including in the form of a reverse share split) to decrease the number of shares, the then-existing Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, whose numerator is the number of outstanding securities of the Company immediately before the occurrence of the matter, and whose denominator is the number of outstanding securities of the Company immediately after the occurrence of the matter; (b) if the Company issues Ordinary Shares to all or substantially all shareholders as a class by way of rights issue, or issue or grant to all or substantially all shareholders as a class, by way of rights issue, of options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Ordinary Shares, in each case at less than 95 per cent of the closing price of the ADSs divided by the ratio of ADS to share (the “Market Price Per Share”) on the last trading day preceding the date of the announcement of the terms of the issue or grant, the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, whose numerator is the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before such announcement plus the number of Ordinary Shares which the aggregate amount (if any) payable for the Ordinary Shares issued by way of rights issue or for the options or warrants or other rights issued or granted by way of rights issue and for the total number of Ordinary Shares comprised therein would subscribe, purchase or otherwise acquire at Market Price Per Share, and the denominator is the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before such announcement plus the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares issued or, as the case may be, comprised in the issue or grant, or (c) if the Company makes (or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive) a dividend or other distribution to the holders of Ordinary Shares payable in any other asset or property (including cash, but excluding dividends by securities or security equivalents of the Company), then, and in each such event, provision shall be made so that, upon conversion of the Note thereafter, the Purchaser shall receive, in addition to the number of Ordinary Shares issuable thereon, such other asset or property which the holder of such Ordinary Shares would have received in connection with such event had the

 

B-3

 

outstanding Principal Amount been converted into Ordinary Shares immediately prior to each such event, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. Any adjustment made according to the aforesaid conditions shall come into effect immediately after the record date of deciding the shareholders having rights to obtain dividends or allocations and, for the purpose of any share split, incorporation or reclassification, shall come into effect immediately after such matters come into effect.

 

5.                                      Events of Default.  Each of the following events shall be considered an event of default (the “Event of Default”) with respect to this Note:

 

(a)           Failure to Pay.  The Company shall fail to pay when due (i) any principal payment or (ii) any interest payment or other payment required under the terms of this Note on the date due, and such payment shall not have been made within ten (10) Business Days after the date due.

 

(b)           Voluntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings.  The Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (ii) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they mature, (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of its or any of its creditors, (iv) be dissolved or liquidated, (v) commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession of its property by any official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or (vi) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing.  As used in this Note, “Significant Subsidiary” means any Subsidiary of the Company, the total assets (after intercompany eliminations) of which exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the consolidated total assets of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the end of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal year.

 

(c)           Involuntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings.  Proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, or of all or a substantial part of their property, or an involuntary case or other proceedings seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or its Significant Subsidiaries, or the debts thereof, under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect shall be commenced and either (i) an order for relief shall be entered or (ii) such proceeding shall not be dismissed or discharged within 45 days of commencement.

 

(d)           Cessation to be a Public Company. The Company’s securities shall cease to be publicly traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

 

(e)           Change of Control. Any Change of Control shall occur. For the purpose of this provision 5(e), a “Change of Control” occurs if any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) other than (i) Mr. Kun Dai, or any of his Affiliates, (ii) any of Warburg Pincus, TPG Capital, 58.com Holdings Inc. or any of its respective Affiliates, or (iii) any “group” solely consisting of the Persons set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% or more voting power of the Company’s issued and outstanding securities.

 

B-4

 

(f)            Breach of Other Obligations. The Company fails to perform or comply with one or more of its other obligations in this Note or the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement in any material respect, or breach any representation or warranty of the Company contained in the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement in any material respect, and in each case such failure is not capable of being cured or is not cured within thirty (30) days.

 

(g)           Material Adverse Effect. Any one or more events, facts, conditions, changes or developments shall have occurred that have caused or constituted or could be reasonably expected to cause or constitute, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(h)           Cross-Default. Any Significant Indebtedness (as defined below) of the Company or its Subsidiaries is not paid when due or (as the case may be) within any originally applicable grace period, or any such Significant Indebtedness becomes (or becomes capable of being declared) due and payable prior to its stated maturity otherwise than at the option of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or the Company or its Subsidiaries fails to pay when due any amount payable by it under any guarantee or indemnity of any Significant Indebtedness. For the purpose of this Section 5(i), “Significant Indebtedness” means, with respect to each event mentioned above, one or more indebtedness with an aggregate amount of no less than US$10,000,000 or its equivalent in any other currency or currencies.

 

(i)            Unsatisfied Judgment. One or more judgment(s) or order(s) for the payment of an aggregate amount of no less than US$10,000,000 is rendered against the Company or its Subsidiaries and continue(s) unappealed, unsatisfied and unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days after the date(s) thereof or, if later, the date therein specified for payment.

 

(j)            Security Enforced. A secured party takes possession, or a receiver, manager or other similar officer is appointed, of the whole or a material part of the undertaking, assets and revenues of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

 

(k)           Enforcement Proceedings. A distress, attachment, execution, seizure before judgment or other legal process is levied, enforced or sued out on or against any material part of the property, assets or revenue of the Company or its Significant Subsidiaries.

 

(l)            Winding up, etc.  An order is made by any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction or an effective resolution is passed for the winding up, liquidation or dissolution of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (other than, in the case of a Significant Subsidiary of the Company, for the purposes of or pursuant to an amalgamation, reorganization or restructuring whilst solvent).

 

6.                                      Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 5 hereof, at the option and upon the written declaration of the Purchaser at the Purchaser’s sole discretion, the entire unpaid Principal Amount and unpaid interest accrued thereon shall become forthwith due and payable, and the Purchaser may immediately enforce payment of all amounts due and owing under this Note and exercise any and all other remedies granted to it at law, in equity or otherwise.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 5(e) hereof, the Company shall, if so requested by the Purchaser, cooperate in good faith with the Purchaser with respect to the Purchaser’s efforts to receive equity securities of the

 

B-5

 

surviving entity (if any) in lieu of the acceleration of the Principal Amount and unpaid interest accrued thereon.

 

7.                                      Prepayment. The Principal Amount or interest accrued thereon may not be prepaid prior to the Maturity Date without the written consent of the Purchaser.

 

8.                                      No Rights as Shareholder Prior to Conversion.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser has not been conferred with any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote as such, by any of the provisions hereof or any provisions under the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, or any right (a) to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, (b) to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of shares, reclassification of shares, change of par value, or change of shares to no par value, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, conveyance, or otherwise), (c) to receive notice of meetings or to receive in-kind dividends or subscription rights or otherwise, in each case until this Note shall have been converted in whole or in part and all the Conversion Shares issuable upon such whole or partial conversion hereof shall have been issued, as provided for in this Note and the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser shall be conferred with all rights of a shareholder of the Company immediately upon any partial or full conversion of the Note with respect to such Conversion Shares.

 

10.                               Termination of Rights.All rights under this Note shall automatically terminate when (a) all amounts owing on this Note have been paid in full or (b) this Note is converted in full pursuant to Section 4 hereof.  Upon the termination of all rights under this Note, this Note shall be surrendered by the Purchaser to the Company and this Note so surrendered shall be cancelled and shall not be reissued. For the avoidance of doubt, the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement shall not be terminated merely due to a termination of all rights under this Note, and shall remain in force and effect or terminate pursuant to the terms thereof.

 

11.                               Amendments and Waivers; Notice.  The amendment or waiver of any term of this Note shall be subject to the written consent of the Company and the Purchaser.  The provision of notice shall be conducted pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement.

 

12.                               Successors and Assigns.  This Note applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds, the successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that no party hereto may assign its obligations under this Note without the written consent of the other party hereto.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Purchaser may, subject to applicable laws, transfer this Note to any of its Affiliates.  Any transfer of this Note may take effect by surrender of this Note to the Company and reissuance of a new note to the transferee.

 

13.                               Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.  This Note shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York without regards to principles of conflict of laws.

4.1                               Existence.  Each Purchaser Entity has been duly organized, is validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization.

 

4.2                               Capacity.  Each Purchaser Entity has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its respective obligations under this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The Fund Manager is the general partner and sole fund manager of each Purchaser and has the capacity and authority to act on behalf of each Purchaser.

 

4.3                                Authorization and Enforceability.  This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Fund Manager, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, this Agreement is a valid and binding agreement of the Fund Manager, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.

 

4.4                               Non-Contravention.  Neither the execution and the delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will (i) violate any provision of the memorandum and articles of association or other constitutional documents of any Purchaser Entity or (ii) violate any constitution, statute, regulation, rule, injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge, or other restriction of any Governmental Entity to which any Purchaser Entity is subject, or (iii) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of or creation of an Encumbrance under, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify, or cancel, or require any notice under, any agreement, contract, lease, license, instrument, or other arrangement to which any Purchaser Entity is a party or by which any Purchaser Entity is bound or to which any assets of any Purchaser Entity are subject.  There is no action, suit or proceeding, pending or, to the knowledge of the Fund Manager, threatened against any Purchaser Entity that questions the validity of this Agreement or the right of any Purchaser Entity to enter into this Agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

4.5                               Consents and Approvals.  Neither the execution and delivery by the Fund Manager of this Agreement, nor the consummation by any Purchaser Entity of any of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor the performance by any Purchaser Entity of this Agreement in accordance with its terms requires the consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration with, or the giving notice to, any governmental or public body or authority or any third party, except such as have been or will have been obtained, made or given on or prior to the Closing.

 

4.6                              Investment Intent. Each Purchaser is purchasing the Notes solely for its own account for investment, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of the Notes or any portion thereof, and not with any present intention of selling, offering to sell, or otherwise disposing of or distributing the Notes or any portion thereof in any transaction.  The entire legal and beneficial interest of the Notes is being purchased, and will be held, for each Purchaser’s own account only, and neither in whole or in part for the account of any other Person.

 

4.7                              Regulation S Eligibility; Restriction on Resale. The Fund Manager acknowledges that each Purchaser is acquiring the Notes in an “offshore transaction” (as

 

11

 

defined in Regulation S) in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S.  Each Purchaser is not a U.S. person as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S and is located outside of the United States.  The Fund Manager understands that the Notes to be purchased by each Purchaser has not been registered under the Securities Act or any U.S. state law and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. person except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements under the Securities Act and applicable U.S. state law.

 

4.8                               Investment Experience.  Each Purchaser is a sophisticated purchaser with knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that such Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Notes and the Conversion Shares.  Each Purchaser is able to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Notes and the Conversion Shares.  The Fund Manager understands that securities prices are a function of a large number of variables and that there is no way for the Company to predict or otherwise gauge the market’s reaction to the disclosure of any material information. The Fund Manager acknowledges and affirms that, with the assistance of its advisors, it has conducted and completed its own investigation, analysis and evaluation related to the investment in the Notes and the Conversion Shares. The Fund Manager understands and acknowledges that the Company has or may have information concerning the Company and its Affiliates including, but not limited to, the short term and long-term plans of the Company and its Affiliates. With full recognition of the foregoing, and after discussing these matters with its counsel and such other advisors as it deems appropriate, the Fund Manager wishes to cause each Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated under this Agreement on the terms set forth herein.

 

5.                                      COVENANTS.

 

5.1                              Further Assurances.

5.3                              Lock-Up.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement by the Company and the Purchaser Entities, during the Lock-Up Period, the Fund Manager shall ensure that each Purchaser Entity will not, and will procure that none of its Subsidiaries will, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly through one or a series of transactions, Transfer any Company Securities to any Person other than the Purchaser Entity’s Subsidiaries. Any Transfer of Company Securities made in violation of this Section 5.3 shall be null and void ab initio and shall not be recorded on the books and records of the Company.

 

5.4                              No Transfer to Adverse Persons.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement by the Company and the Purchaser Entities, the Fund Manager shall ensure that each Purchaser Entity will not directly or indirectly Transfer, and

 

12

 

will not permit any direct or indirect Transfer, through one or a series of transactions, of any Company Securities held by it directly or indirectly (including through any Affiliate) to any Adverse Person without the prior written consent of the Company.

5.6                              Conversion to ADSs. To the extent permitted by applicable law, after the conversion of either Note (or any portion thereof) by any Purchaser into Conversion Shares, in the event that such Purchaser has delivered to the Company written notice specifying that such Purchaser irrevocably elects to convert the Conversion Shares into ADSs subject to the compliance of applicable conditions under Rule 144(b), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect (or cause to be effected) the conversion of such Conversion Shares into ADSs within seven (7) days after receiving such written notice.

 

6.                                      INDEMNIFICATION.

 

6.1                              Indemnification.

 

(a)                               Subject to the other provisions of this Article 6, each of the Company and the Fund Manager (“Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold each other, such other party’s respective Affiliates, and such other party’s and their respective Affiliates’ members, partners, managers, directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from or arising out of: (i) any breach or violation of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by the Indemnifying Party or its applicable Affiliates under this Agreement; or (ii) any breach or violation of, or failure to perform, any covenants or agreements made by or on behalf of, or to be performed by, the Indemnifying Party or its applicable Affiliates under this Agreement. The indemnity under this Article 6 shall not be prejudiced by or otherwise be subject to any disclosure and shall apply regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party has any actual or constructive knowledge with respect thereto.

 

(b)                               No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any Loss consisting of punitive damages (except to the extent that such punitive damages are awarded to a third party against an Indemnified Party in connection with a Third Party Claim).

 

(c)                                The Fund Manager as the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to recover any Losses, other than with respect to breaches of Fundamental Company Representations or Fundamental Purchaser Representations (as applicable), until such time as the aggregate amount of all such Losses that have been suffered or incurred by the Indemnified

 

13

 

Party exceeds two percent (2%) of the issued Principal Amount with respect to the Purchasers (the “Loss Threshold”), provided, however, that once the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds the Loss Threshold, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all such Losses (including the Losses up to the Loss Threshold).

 

(d)                               The maximum aggregate amount of Losses that the Indemnified Parties will be entitled to recover pursuant to this Article 6 shall be limited to one hundred percent (100%) of the issued aggregate Principal Amount of all Purchasers.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained herein, the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in this Section 6.1) shall not apply to any claim based on fraud, willful misrepresentation or willful misconduct of the Indemnifying Party or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

 

(e)                                An Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement more than once in respect of the same Losses suffered.

 

(f)                                 Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the remedies contained in this Article 6 shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Indemnified Parties for any claim arising out of or resulting from this Agreement, except that no limitation or exceptions with respect to the obligations or liabilities on any party hereto provided hereunder shall apply to a Loss incurred by any Indemnified Party arising due to fraud of the Indemnifying Party or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Nothing in this Article 6 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall affect any parties’ rights to specific performance or other equitable or non-monetary remedies with respect to the covenants and agreements in this Agreement or that are to be performed at or after the Closing; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, except in the case of fraud, nothing contained herein shall permit any party to rescind this Agreement.

 

6.2                              Third Party Claims.

 

(a)                               If any third party shall notify an Indemnified Party in writing with respect to any matter involving a claim by such third party (a “Third Party Claim”) and such Indemnified Party believes such claim would give rise to a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party under this Article 6, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly (i) notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing and (ii) transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (“Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Third Party Claim, a copy of all papers served with respect to such claim (if any), and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced by such failure.

 

(b)                               Upon receipt of a Claim Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Claim Notice, notifying the Indemnified Party in writing that the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, and upon delivery of such notice by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control and settle the proceeding, provided that, (i) any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (ii) and the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of the progress of such defense on a regular basis.

 

14

 

(c)                                If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, including the making of any related counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third Party Claim or any cross complaint against any Person. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to any Third Party Claim for which indemnity is sought under this Agreement, other than any privileged communications between the Indemnifying Party and its counsel, and shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to retain separate co-counsel and participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement (except for its consent required under Section 6.2(b) above) of any Third Party Claim assumed by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 6.2(b).

 

(d)                               In the event of a Third Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense or fails to make such an election within thirty (30) days of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle, compromise or pay such action or claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided that, any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

6.3                              Other Claims.  In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against the Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (the “Indemnity Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, the Indemnified Party’s good faith estimate of the amount of Losses attributable to such claim and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement; provided, that no failure, delay or deficiency in providing such notice shall constitute a waiver or otherwise modify the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnity hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced by such failure, delay or deficiency. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Indemnity Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed with such claim.

 

7.                                      MISCELLANEOUS.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

[·], 2019 (“Date of Issuance”)

 

US$[·]

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and subject to the terms and conditions of this convertible promissory note (this “Note”), Uxin Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [•], a [company incorporated under the laws of [•]](the “Purchaser”), or its assigns, in lawful money of the United States of America the principal amount of [•] Dollars (US$[•]) (the “Principal Amount”), plus accrued interest thereon, on [·], 2020 (the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier duly converted in full into the Conversion Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Note.

 

This Note is issued pursuant to the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, dated July 12, 2019, by and between the Company, the Purchaser and certain other parties thereto (the “Convertible Note Purchase Agreement”), and is subject to the terms and conditions thereof.  In case of any conflict between this Note and the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, the provisions of the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement shall control and govern.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement.

 

The following is a statement of the rights of the Purchaser and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the Purchaser, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:

 

1.                                      Interest Rate.  This Note shall bear interest on the outstanding Principal Amount at a simple interest rate of ten percent (10.0%) per annum from the Date of Issuance until this Note is fully repaid or redeemed; provided, that if any portion of this Note is duly converted into the Conversion Shares pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4 hereof, interest shall cease to accrue on the portion of the Principal Amount being converted (and, for the avoidance of doubt, continue to accrue on any outstanding Principal Amount not being converted). Accrued interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and actual days elapsed.

 

2.                                      Repayment of this Note.

 

A-1

 

(a)                                 Unless to the extent earlier converted into Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the outstanding Principal Amount (other than any portion of the Principal Amount converted pursuant to Section 4 hereof) and the interest accrued thereon shall be due and payable by the Company upon the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date, and (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default set forth in Section 5 hereof (the “Due Date”).  Upon the due conversion in full of this Note pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4 hereof, any and all payment obligations of the Company under this Note and the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement shall be fully discharged.

 

(b)                                 All amounts payable on or in respect of this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be paid to the Purchaser in lawful money of the United States of America within three (3) Business Days after the Due Date. The Company shall make such payments of the unpaid Principal Amount (other than any portion of the Principal Amount converted pursuant to Section 4 hereof), together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds for the account of the Purchaser as the Purchaser may designate and notify in writing to the Company at least five (5) Business Days prior to the payment date. Payment shall be credited first to accrued interest due and payable, and any remainder shall be applied to the outstanding Principal Amount.

 

(c)                                  All payments of principal and interest in respect of this Note by or on behalf of the Company shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the Cayman Islands or the PRC or any political subdivision thereof or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax, unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges is required by law.

 

3.                                      Seniority.  This Note ranks senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s other indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to this Note, pari passu in right of payment to any of the Company’s other indebtedness and liabilities that are not so subordinated, junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally junior to all indebtedness and liabilities incurred by the Company’s Subsidiaries.

 

4.                                      Conversion.

 

(a)                                 Conversion.

 

(i) During the period from and including the 181st day after the Date of Issuance to and including the Maturity Date, the Purchaser shall, by written notice to the Company, have the right but not the obligation to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount to a number of Conversion Shares at the applicable Conversion Price, provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not exercise such right to convert more than twice.  As used in this Note, “Conversion Price” means US$1.663, as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof.

 

(ii) The number of the Conversion Shares to be issued upon any conversion pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Principal Amount subject to such conversion by the Conversion Price.

 

A-2

 

(b)                                 No Fractional Shares.  Upon the conversion of this Note into the Conversion Shares, in lieu of any fractional shares to which the Purchaser would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay the holder of this Note cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price.

 

(c)                                  Mechanics of Conversion.  In the event that the Purchaser has delivered to the Company a written notice in accordance with Section 4(a)(i) hereof specifying that the Purchaser irrevocably elects to convert this Note (whether in part or in full), the Company shall at its expense take all actions and execute all documents necessary to effect the issuance of all the Conversion Shares (including giving all necessary instructions to update the register of members to effect such issuance) within two (2) weeks of delivery of the applicable written notice to convert, and deliver to the Purchaser, upon surrender of this Note, a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion and the updated register of members of the Company indicating that the Purchaser is the holder of such Conversion Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver the Conversion Shares until the Purchaser has surrendered this Note to the Company.

 

(d)                                 Adjustments to Conversion Price.  The Conversion Price shall be adjusted according to the following items: When any of the Principal Amount is outstanding at any time, (a) if the Company: (i) pays dividends in the form of securities or security equivalents of the Company; (ii) splits the outstanding securities of the Company in order to increase the number of shares; or (iii) incorporates outstanding securities of the Company (including in the form of a reverse share split) to decrease the number of shares, the then-existing Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, whose numerator is the number of outstanding securities of the Company immediately before the occurrence of the matter, and whose denominator is the number of outstanding securities of the Company immediately after the occurrence of the matter; (b) if the Company issues Ordinary Shares to all or substantially all shareholders as a class by way of rights issue, or issue or grant to all or substantially all shareholders as a class, by way of rights issue, of options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Ordinary Shares, in each case at less than 95 per cent of the closing price of the ADSs divided by the ratio of ADS to share (the “Market Price Per Share”) on the last trading day preceding the date of the announcement of the terms of the issue or grant, the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, whose numerator is the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before such announcement plus the number of Ordinary Shares which the aggregate amount (if any) payable for the Ordinary Shares issued by way of rights issue or for the options or warrants or other rights issued or granted by way of rights issue and for the total number of Ordinary Shares comprised therein would subscribe, purchase or otherwise acquire at Market Price Per Share, and the denominator is the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before such announcement plus the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares issued or, as the case may be, comprised in the issue or grant, or (c) if the Company makes (or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive) a dividend or other distribution to the holders of Ordinary Shares payable in any other asset or property (including cash, but excluding dividends by securities or security equivalents of the Company), then, and in each such event, provision shall be made so that, upon conversion of the Note thereafter, the Purchaser shall receive, in addition to the number of Ordinary Shares issuable thereon, such other asset or property which the holder of such Ordinary Shares would have received in connection with such event had the

 

A-3

 

outstanding Principal Amount been converted into Ordinary Shares immediately prior to each such event, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. Any adjustment made according to the aforesaid conditions shall come into effect immediately after the record date of deciding the shareholders having rights to obtain dividends or allocations and, for the purpose of any share split, incorporation or reclassification, shall come into effect immediately after such matters come into effect.

 

5.                                      Events of Default.  Each of the following events shall be considered an event of default (the “Event of Default”) with respect to this Note:

 

(a)                                 Failure to Pay.  The Company shall fail to pay when due (i) any principal payment or (ii) any interest payment or other payment required under the terms of this Note on the date due, and such payment shall not have been made within ten (10) Business Days after the date due.

 

(b)                                 Voluntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings.  The Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (ii) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they mature, (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of its or any of its creditors, (iv) be dissolved or liquidated, (v) commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession of its property by any official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or (vi) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing.  As used in this Note, “Significant Subsidiary” means any Subsidiary of the Company, the total assets (after intercompany eliminations) of which exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the consolidated total assets of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the end of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal year.

 

(c)                                  Involuntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings.  Proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, or of all or a substantial part of their property, or an involuntary case or other proceedings seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or its Significant Subsidiaries, or the debts thereof, under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect shall be commenced and either (i) an order for relief shall be entered or (ii) such proceeding shall not be dismissed or discharged within 45 days of commencement.

 

(d)                                 Cessation to be a Public Company. The Company’s securities shall cease to be publicly traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

 

(e)                                  Change of Control. Any Change of Control shall occur. For the purpose of this provision 5(e), a “Change of Control” occurs if any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) other than (i) Mr. Kun Dai, or any of his Affiliates, (ii) any of Warburg Pincus, TPG Capital, 58.com Holdings Inc. or any of its respective Affiliates, or (iii) any “group” solely consisting of the Persons set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% or more voting power of the Company’s issued and outstanding securities.

 

A-4

The Company fails to perform or comply with one or more of its other obligations in this Note or the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement in any material respect, or breach any representation or warranty of the Company contained in the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement in any material respect, and in each case such failure is not capable of being cured or is not cured within thirty (30) days.

 

(g)                                  Material Adverse Effect. Any one or more events, facts, conditions, changes or developments shall have occurred that have caused or constituted or could be reasonably expected to cause or constitute, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

Any Significant Indebtedness (as defined below) of the Company or its Subsidiaries is not paid when due or (as the case may be) within any originally applicable grace period, or any such Significant Indebtedness becomes (or becomes capable of being declared) due and payable prior to its stated maturity otherwise than at the option of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or the Company or its Subsidiaries fails to pay when due any amount payable by it under any guarantee or indemnity of any Significant Indebtedness. For the purpose of this Section 5(i), “Significant Indebtedness” means, with respect to each event mentioned above, one or more indebtedness with an aggregate amount of no less than US$10,000,000 or its equivalent in any other currency or currencies.

 

(i)                                     Unsatisfied Judgment. One or more judgment(s) or order(s) for the payment of an aggregate amount of no less than US$10,000,000 is rendered against the Company or its Subsidiaries and continue(s) unappealed, unsatisfied and unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days after the date(s) thereof or, if later, the date therein specified for payment.

 

(j)                                    Security Enforced. A secured party takes possession, or a receiver, manager or other similar officer is appointed, of the whole or a material part of the undertaking, assets and revenues of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

 

(k)                                 Enforcement Proceedings. A distress, attachment, execution, seizure before judgment or other legal process is levied, enforced or sued out on or against any material part of the property, assets or revenue of the Company or its Significant Subsidiaries.

6.                                      Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 5 hereof, at the option and upon the written declaration of the Purchaser at the Purchaser’s sole discretion, the entire unpaid Principal Amount and unpaid interest accrued thereon shall become forthwith due and payable, and the Purchaser may immediately enforce payment of all amounts due and owing under this Note and exercise any and all other remedies granted to it at law, in equity or otherwise.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 5(e) hereof, the Company shall, if so requested by the Purchaser, cooperate in good faith with the Purchaser with respect to the Purchaser’s efforts to receive equity securities of the

 

A-5

 

surviving entity (if any) in lieu of the acceleration of the Principal Amount and unpaid interest accrued thereon.

 

7.                                      Prepayment. The Principal Amount or interest accrued thereon may not be prepaid prior to the Maturity Date without the written consent of the Purchaser.

 

8.                                      No Rights as Shareholder Prior to Conversion.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and subject to the terms and conditions of this convertible promissory note (this “Note”), Uxin Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [•], a [company incorporated under the laws of [•]](the “Purchaser”), or its assigns, in lawful money of the United States of America the principal amount of [•] Dollars (US$[•]) (the “Principal Amount”), plus accrued interest thereon, on [·], 2020 (the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier duly converted in full into the Conversion Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Note.

 

This Note is issued pursuant to the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, dated July 12, 2019, by and between the Company, the Purchaser and certain other parties thereto (the “Convertible Note Purchase Agreement”), and is subject to the terms and conditions thereof.  In case of any conflict between this Note and the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, the provisions of the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement shall control and govern.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement.

 

The following is a statement of the rights of the Purchaser and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the Purchaser, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:

3.                                      Seniority.

(b)                                 No Fractional Shares.  Upon the conversion of this Note into the Conversion Shares, in lieu of any fractional shares to which the Purchaser would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay the holder of this Note cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price.

 

(c)                                  Mechanics of Conversion.  In the event that the Purchaser has delivered to the Company a written notice in accordance with Section 4(a)(i) hereof specifying that the Purchaser irrevocably elects to convert this Note (whether in part or in full), the Company shall at its expense take all actions and execute all documents necessary to effect the issuance of all the Conversion Shares (including giving all necessary instructions to update the register of members to effect such issuance) within two (2) weeks of delivery of the applicable written notice to convert, and deliver to the Purchaser, upon surrender of this Note, a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion and the updated register of members of the Company indicating that the Purchaser is the holder of such Conversion Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver the Conversion Shares until the Purchaser has surrendered this Note to the Company.

 

(d)                                 Adjustments to Conversion Price.  The Conversion Price shall be adjusted according to the following items: When any of the Principal Amount is outstanding at any time, (a) if the Company: (i) pays dividends in the form of securities or security equivalents of the Company; (ii) splits the outstanding securities of the Company in order to increase the number of shares; or (iii) incorporates outstanding securities of the Company (including in the form of a reverse share split) to decrease the number of shares, the then-existing Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, whose numerator is the number of outstanding securities of the Company immediately before the occurrence of the matter, and whose denominator is the number of outstanding securities of the Company immediately after the occurrence of the matter; (b) if the Company issues Ordinary Shares to all or substantially all shareholders as a class by way of rights issue, or issue or grant to all or substantially all shareholders as a class, by way of rights issue, of options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Ordinary Shares, in each case at less than 95 per cent of the closing price of the ADSs divided by the ratio of ADS to share (the “Market Price Per Share”) on the last trading day preceding the date of the announcement of the terms of the issue or grant, the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, whose numerator is the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before such announcement plus the number of Ordinary Shares which the aggregate amount (if any) payable for the Ordinary Shares issued by way of rights issue or for the options or warrants or other rights issued or granted by way of rights issue and for the total number of Ordinary Shares comprised therein would subscribe, purchase or otherwise acquire at Market Price Per Share, and the denominator is the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before such announcement plus the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares issued or, as the case may be, comprised in the issue or grant, or (c) if the Company makes (or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive) a dividend or other distribution to the holders of Ordinary Shares payable in any other asset or property (including cash, but excluding dividends by securities or security equivalents of the Company), then, and in each such event, provision shall be made so that, upon conversion of the Note thereafter, the Purchaser shall receive, in addition to the number of Ordinary Shares issuable thereon, such other asset or property which the holder of such Ordinary Shares would have received in connection with such event had the

 

B-3

 

outstanding Principal Amount been converted into Ordinary Shares immediately prior to each such event, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. Any adjustment made according to the aforesaid conditions shall come into effect immediately after the record date of deciding the shareholders having rights to obtain dividends or allocations and, for the purpose of any share split, incorporation or reclassification, shall come into effect immediately after such matters come into effect.
