Mandatory Redemption Event financial

"Mandatory Redemption Event means the occurrence of any of the following events"

Permitted Indebtedness Cap financial

"indebtedness for money borrowed in an aggregate amount exceeding US$700,000,000 (the Permitted Indebtedness Cap)"

Capital Distribution financial

"Capital Distribution means any dividend or distribution by the Company for any financial period"

Event of Default financial

"The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute the occurrence of an Event of Default"

An event of default is a specific breach of a loan or bond agreement—such as missed payments or breaking agreed rules—that gives lenders the legal right to act, for example by demanding immediate repayment, seizing collateral, or accelerating other obligations. For investors, it’s a red flag because it can sharply reduce a company’s ability to operate or raise money, like a car lender repossessing a vehicle after missed payments, and often leads to falling share or bond prices.

The Note ranks senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Note, equal in right of payment to any of the Company’s present and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company that are not so subordinated, and 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 future indebtedness incurred by the Company’s Subsidiaries and their other liabilities (including trade payables) and save for obligations that are preferred by provisions of Law that are mandatory and of general application.

(c)Preservation of assets. The Company shall (and shall procure that each Group Company will) maintain and preserve all of its material assets (including, but not limited to, any real property and intellectual property) that are necessary for the conduct of its business where failure to do so would have or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e)Negative pledge. Without obtaining the prior written consent from the Holder, the Company shall not (and shall procure that no Group Company will) create or permit to subsist or arise any encumbrance upon the whole or any part of its present or future assets or revenues to secure any Relevant Indebtedness.

(i)Related party transactions. The Company shall not (and shall procure that no Group Company will) enter into any transaction with any Related Party on terms that are less favorable to the Company or such Group Company than would be obtained in a

(j)Certification of No Event of Default.

If the terms and conditions of the actual debt incurred deviate materially from the information filed with the NDRC, details of deviations shall be specified in the Information Reporting.

6.Issuance of New Securities. The Company hereby confirms and agrees that if it issues any other debt securities (whether convertible or exchangeable or otherwise) after the Issue Date (the “New Securities”) and such New Securities contain any provision that is more favorable to a holder of the New Securities than those provisions provided to the Holder under the Transaction Documents (including, but not limited to, terms relating to the interest rate and default interest rate, internal rate of return, conversion price, guarantees or collateral arrangement) (the “Additional Rights”), then (a) the Company shall notify the Holder of the terms of such New Securities and the Additional Rights no later than five (5) Business Days after the issue of such New Securities and (b) if required by the Holder, enter into a supplemental agreement to the Transaction Documents to confer on the Holder the same Additional Rights no later than ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period as the Holder may agree) after the written request of the Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.6 shall not apply to any New Securities that are issued (i) (A) with an investment term that is longer than three years and (B) with a total investment amount (which, in the case where there are multiple investors, refers to the total investment amount made by such multiple investors under a single purchase agreement or multiple purchase agreements using substantially the same form) that exceeds US$55,000,000, or (ii) pursuant to the ATW Notes (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) or the ATW Notes Purchase Agreement (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement).

HK1_806934715_10

(a)Failure to Pay. (i) The Company defaults in the payment of the Maturity Redemption Price when due and payable on the Maturity Date; (ii) the Company defaults in the payment of interest when any such interest payment becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of ten (10) Business Days or more; or (iii) the Company defaults in the payment of any other amount (including the Mandatory Redemption Price) hereunder when due and payable and the default continues for a period of ten (10) Business Days or more, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof;

(b)Breach of Conversion Obligations. The Company fails to comply with any of its obligations to convert all or a portion of the Note in accordance with Article III upon Holder’s exercise of its conversion rights and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days;

For the avoidance of doubt, if any Event of Default under this Section 2.7(c) occurs and the Holder elects to require the Company to redeem the Note, the Mandatory Redemption Price payable to the Holder shall exclude such amounts paid or adjudicated to be payable by the Company for any Indemnifiable Liabilities (as defined under the Note Purchase Agreement) incurred by such Holder, if any;

ARTICLE III

CONVERSIONS

1.Conversion Right. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article III, the Holder shall have the right from time to time, at the Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion of the Note (plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) to such number of fully paid and non-assessable Class A Ordinary Shares, as is equal to the quotient of (x) the outstanding Principal Amount of such Note (plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) divided by (y) the then effective Conversion Price, at any time during the Conversion Period by delivering a duly completed irrevocable written notice to the Company (the “Conversion Notice”); provided, however, that:

(a)in the event the Holder elects to convert a portion of but not all of the Note, for each conversion, the number of Conversion Shares the Holder is entitled to receive shall be no less than 10% of the total number of Conversion Shares that would be issuable to such Holder if the Note were converted in full in accordance with this Section 3.1; and

(b)the Holder can only exercise its conversion right under this Section 3.1 no more than four times during any twelve-(12) month rolling period following the Issue Date.

2.Conversion Price. Subject to adjustments set forth in Article IV, the initial conversion price (as so adjusted, the “Conversion Price”) shall be equal to US$2.62.

3.Conversion Procedure; Effect of Conversion.

(a)Subject to Section 3.3(b), this Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has delivered the Conversion Notice and the Note for cancellation to the Company. The Company shall promptly and in any event, within five (5) Business Days after the delivery of the Note and the Conversion Notice to the Company (i) take all actions and execute all documents necessary to effect the issuance of the full number of the Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled in satisfaction of any conversion pursuant to Section 3.1, (ii) deliver to the Holder certificate(s) representing the number of the Conversion Shares delivered upon each such conversion (bearing such legends, if any, required by the Company), (iii) deliver to the Holder a certified copy of the register of

HK1_806934715_10

members of the Company, reflecting the Holder’s ownership of the Conversion Shares delivered upon each such conversion, and (iv) subject to Section 3.3(b), cancel the Note. No Conversion Notice may be delivered and the Note may not be surrendered by a Holder for conversion thereof if the Holder has also delivered a Redemption Notice to the Company in respect of the Note and not validly withdrawn such Redemption Notice in accordance with Article V.

(b)In the event the Holder surrenders this Note pursuant to Section 3.3(a) for partial conversion, the Company shall, in addition to cancelling the Note upon such surrender, execute and deliver to the Holder a new note denominated in U.S. dollars and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note, without payment of any service charge by the Holder.

(c)The Holder in whose name the certificate for any Conversion Shares delivered upon conversion is registered shall be treated as a holder of record of such Conversion Shares as of the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date. Upon a conversion of the entire outstanding amount of the Note, the Holder shall no longer be a holder of the Note surrendered for conversion.

(d)The Company shall not issue any fractional shares upon conversion of the Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to the Holder upon the conversion of the Note, the number of Conversion Shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

(e)The Company’s settlement of each conversion pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the relevant Principal Amount of such portion of the Note so converted (plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any), and as a result, such Principal Amount of such portion of the Note so converted (plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any) shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. For the avoidance of doubt, if any conversion pursuant to this Section 3.3 is with respect to all (but not part) of the Note, then any other amount (other than the Principal Amount and interest) from time to time accrued prior to the Conversion Date of such conversion and which remains outstanding as set forth in the Note shall be due and payable on such Conversion Date.

ARTICLE IV

CONVERSION PRICE ADJUSTMENTS

1.Anti-Dilution Adjustments. The Conversion Price and the number and type of securities to be received upon conversion of the Note, shall be subject to adjustment for an event occurring after the Issue Date as follows:

(a)Consolidation, Subdivision or Reclassification

If and whenever there shall be an alteration to the nominal value of the Company Shares (or any class of them) as a result of consolidation, subdivision or re-classification, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before such alteration by the following fraction:

HK1_806934715_10

where:

A is the nominal amount of one Company Share (or such relevant class of them) immediately after such alteration; and

B is the nominal amount of such Company Share (or such relevant class of them) immediately before such alteration.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date that such alteration takes effect.

(b)Capitalization of Profits or Reserves

(A)If and whenever the Company shall issue any Company Shares credited as fully paid to its shareholders by way of capitalization of profits or reserves (including any share premium account) (except where the Company Shares are issued as Scrip Dividend) and which would not have constituted a Capital Distribution, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before such issue by the following fraction:

where:

A is the aggregate nominal amount of the issued Company Shares immediately before such issue; and

B is the aggregate nominal amount of the issued Company Shares immediately after such issue.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of such Company Shares or if a record date is fixed therefor, immediately after such record date.

(B)In the case of an issue of Company Shares by way of a Scrip Dividend where the Current Market Price of such Company Shares on the date of announcement of the terms of such issue multiplied by the number of Company Shares issued exceeds 100% of the amount of the Relevant Cash Dividend and which would not have constituted a Capital Distribution, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before the issue of such Conversion Shares by the following fraction:

HK1_806934715_10

where:

A is the aggregate nominal amount of the issued Company Shares immediately before such Scrip Dividend;

B is the aggregate nominal amount of Company Shares which the Relevant Cash Dividend would purchase at such Current Market Price; and

C is the aggregate nominal amount of Company Shares issued by way of such Scrip Dividend;

Or by making such other adjustment as an Independent Investment Bank deems fair and reasonable.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of such Company Shares or if a record date is fixed therefor, immediately after such record date.

If and whenever the Company shall pay or make any Capital Distribution to the shareholders of the Company (except where the Conversion Price falls to be adjusted under Section 4.1(b) above), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before such Capital Distribution by the following fraction:

where:

A is the Current Market Price of one Company Share on the date on which the Capital Distribution is announced to the shareholders of the Company; and

B is the Fair Market Value on the date of such announcement of the Capital Distribution attributable to one Company Share;

Or by making such other adjustment as an Independent Investment Bank deems fair and reasonable.

HK1_806934715_10

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date that such Capital Distribution is made or if a record date is fixed therefor, immediately after such record date.

(d)Rights Issues of Company Shares or Options over Company Shares

If and whenever the Company shall issue Company Shares to all or substantially all shareholders of the Company as a class by way of rights, or issue or grant to all or substantially all shareholders of the Company as a class, by way of rights, options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Company Shares, in each case at less than 95 per cent. of the Current Market Price per Company Share on the date of announcement of the terms of the issue or grant, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before such issue or grant by the following fraction:

where:

A is the number of Company Shares in issue immediately before such announcement;

B is the number of Company Shares which the aggregate amount (if any) payable for the Company Shares issued by way of rights or for the options or warrants or other rights issued by way of rights and for the total number of Company Shares deliverable on the exercise thereof would purchase at such Current Market Price per Company Share; and

C is the aggregate number of Company Shares issued or, as the case may be, the maximum number of Company Shares to be issued or granted.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of such Company Shares or issue or grant of such options, warrants or other rights (as the case may be) or where a record date is set, the first date on which the Company Shares are traded ex-rights, ex-options or ex-warrants, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, the adjustment shall not be made in the case of an issue of securities (i) arising from the exercise of the rights under the Note or (ii) pursuant to any employee equity incentive plans of the Company.

(e)Rights Issues of Other Securities

HK1_806934715_10

If and whenever the Company shall issue any securities (other than Company Shares or options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase Company Shares) to all or substantially all shareholders of the Company as a class, by way of rights, or the grant to all or substantially all shareholders of the Company as a class by way of rights, of any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase, any securities (other than the Company Shares or options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the Company Shares), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before such issue or grant by the following fraction:

where:

A is the Current Market Price of one Company Share on the date on which such issue or grant is publicly announced; and

B is the Fair Market Value on the date of such announcement of the portion of the rights attributable to one Company Share;

Or by making such other adjustment as an Independent Investment Bank deems fair and reasonable.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of the securities or grant of such rights, options or warrants (as the case may be) or where a record date is set, the first date on which the Company Shares are traded ex-rights, ex-options or ex-warrants, as the case may be.

(f)Issues at less than Current Market Price

Other than with respect to any Excluded Securities, if and whenever the Company shall issue (otherwise than as mentioned in Section 4.1(d) above) any Company Shares (other than Company Shares issued on the exercise of conversion rights of the Convertible Senior Notes or on the exercise of any other rights of conversion into, or exchange or subscription for, Company Shares) or shall issue or grant (otherwise than as mentioned in Section 4.1(d) above) any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Company Shares, in each case at a price per Company Share which is less than a price (“New Issuance Price”) equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or grant (such Conversion Price then in effect is referred to herein as the “Applicable Price”), the Conversion Price shall be reduced to an

HK1_806934715_10

amount equal to the lower of (x) the Conversion Price then in effect and (y) 115% of the New Issuance Price.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date that such additional Company Shares or, as the case may be, the issue or grant of such options, warrants or other rights.

(g)Other issues at less than Current Market Price

Save with respect to any Excluded Securities or in the case of an issue of securities arising from a conversion or exchange of other securities in accordance with the terms applicable to such securities themselves falling within this Section 4.1(g), if and whenever the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (otherwise than as mentioned in Section 4.1(d), Section 4.1(e) or Section 4.1(f)), or (at the direction or request of or pursuant to any arrangements with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) any other company, person or entity shall issue any securities which by their terms of issue carry rights of conversion into, or exchange or subscription for, Company Shares to be issued by the Company upon conversion, exchange or subscription at a price lower than the Applicable Price, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to an amount equal to the lower of (x) the Conversion Price then in effect and (y) 115% of the New Issuance Price.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of such securities.

(h) Modification of Rights of Conversion, etc.

Other than with respect to any Excluded Securities, if and whenever there shall be any modification of the rights of conversion, exchange or subscription attaching to any such securities as are mentioned in Section 4.1(g) (other than in accordance with the terms of such securities) so that the consideration per Company Share (for the number of Company Shares available on conversion, exchange or subscription following the modification) is at a price lower than the Applicable Price, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to an amount equal to the lower of (x) the Conversion Price then in effect and (y) 115% of the New Issuance Price.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue modification of the rights of conversion, exchange or subscription attaching to such securities.

(i)Other Offers to Shareholders

In the event of any issue, sale or distribution by or on behalf of the Company or any Group Company or (at the direction or request of or pursuant to any arrangements with the Company or any Group Company) any other company, person or entity of any securities in

HK1_806934715_10

connection with an offer by or on behalf of the Company or any Group Company or such other company, person or entity pursuant to which offer the shareholders of the Company generally are entitled to participate in arrangements whereby such securities may be acquired by them, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before such issue by the following fraction:

where:

A is the Current Market Price of one Company Share on the date on which such issue, sale or distribution is publicly announced; and

B is the Fair Market Value on the date of such announcement of the portion of the rights to the securities being issued, sold or distributed attributable to one Company Share;

Or by making such other adjustment as an Independent Investment Bank deems fair and reasonable.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue, sale or distribution of the securities.

(j)Other Events

If the Company determines that an adjustment should be made to the Conversion Price as a result of one or more events or circumstances not referred to in Sections 4.1(a) to (i) above, the Company shall, at its own expense and acting reasonably, request an Independent Investment Bank to determine as soon as practicable what adjustment (if any) to the Conversion Price as is fair and reasonable to take account thereof, if the adjustment would result in a reduction in the Conversion Price and the date on which such adjustment should take effect and upon such determination by the Independent Investment Bank such adjustment (if any) shall be made and shall take effect in accordance with such determination, provided that an adjustment shall only be made pursuant to this Section 4.1(j) if such Independent Investment Bank is so requested to make such a determination.

(k)For the purpose of this Section 4.1:

(i)“Company Share” means shares in the authorized capital of the Company.

(ii)“Current Market Price” means, in respect of a Company Share at a particular time on a particular date, the volume-weighted

HK1_806934715_10

average of the Last Reported Sale Prices for one Company Share for the thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding such date, provided that if at any time during the said thirty (30) trading day period the Company Shares shall have been quoted ex-dividend and during some other part of that period the Company Shares shall have been quoted cum-dividend then:

(1)if the Company Shares to be issued in such circumstances do not rank for the dividend in question, the quotations on the dates on which the Company Shares shall have been quoted cum-dividend shall for the purpose of this definition be deemed to be the amount thereof reduced by an amount equal to the amount of that dividend per Company Share; or

(2)if the Company Shares to be issued in such circumstances rank for the dividend in question, the quotations on the dates on which the Company Shares shall have been quoted ex-dividend shall for the purpose of this definition be deemed to be the amount thereof increased by such similar amount;

and provided further that if the Company Shares on each of the said thirty (30) trading days have been quoted cum-dividend in respect of a dividend which has been declared or announced but the Company Shares to be issued do not rank for that dividend, the quotations on each of such dates shall for the purpose of this definition be deemed to be the amount thereof reduced by an amount equal to the amount of that dividend per Company Share.

“Last Reported Sale Price” of the Company Shares on any date shall be calculated as (i) the closing sale price per Company Share (or if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) on that date as reported in composite transactions for the principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange on which the Company Shares are traded. If the Company Shares are not listed for trading on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange on the relevant date, the “Last Reported Sale Price” shall be (i) the last quoted bid price for the Company Shares in the over-the-counter market on the relevant date as reported by OTC Markets Group Inc. or a similar organization.

8.Transferability.

Funds (Cayman Islands) SPC – E.I.P. China Multi-Strategy Fund SP, E.I.P. Funds (Cayman Islands) SPC – E.I.P. China Convertible Bond Fund and EIP Funds OFC – EIP Hong Zhong Fund, where any of them is the Holder, can be aggregated), no consent of the Company is required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(c)New Note(s) for Partial Transfer. Where part but not all of the Note is to be transferred, the Company shall, within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of such documents pursuant to Section 6.8(b), issue a new Note in the name of the Holder in respect of such part of the Note not so transferred, which will be made available for collection at the Specified Office or, if so requested by the Holder in the Instrument of Transfer, be delivered by registered post (free of charge to the Holder), to the address specified in the original Note.

HK1_806934715_10

(a)The Company and the Holder agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute, controversy, difference or claim arising out of or relating to this Note between them, including the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, default, breach or termination thereof or any dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to this Note. The party commencing negotiations of the dispute shall give to the other party written notice of the dispute, setting out its nature and particulars. If the negotiations fail to resolve the dispute within fifteen (15) days after the date of the written notice commencing of the negotiations of the dispute, Section 6.11(b) shall apply.

The parties shall not be deemed, however, to have waived any other right to challenge any award. The award shall be final and binding on the parties, and judgment upon any award may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 6.11 shall be construed as preventing any Party from seeking conservatory or interim relief from any court of competent jurisdiction.

(d)The Company irrevocably agrees that should any person commence any arbitration or court proceedings in any jurisdiction (whether for any injunction, specific performance, damages or otherwise) in connection with any Transaction Document, it waives any claim to immunity (to the extent that it may at any time exist, whether on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise) in relation to those proceedings, including, without limitation, immunity from (a) jurisdiction of any court or tribunal; (b) service of process; (c) injunctive or other interim relief, or any order for specific performance or recovery of land; and (d) any process for execution of any award or judgment against its assets.
