(C)                               The Parties desire to enter into this Agreement to clarify and confirm the rights and obligations of Lender and Borrower.

 

Therefore, the Parties enter into this Agreement as follows upon friendly negotiation:

1.1.                            On and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Lender provides Borrower with a loan in an aggregate amount of RMB 7,741,605 on the date hereof (the “Loan”, which term shall be deemed to include Additional Loans (as defined in the following sentence), if any).  Lender and Borrower further agree that Lender may in its absolute discretion provide to Borrower one or more additional loans (“Additional Loan”) from time to time in such amounts as agreed to by Lender and Borrower, provided that, for each such Additional Loan, Lender and Borrower shall execute a Supplemental Agreement to this Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  Both Parties agree and confirm that the Loan shall be interest-free, except as provided in Article 1.5 below.  The Borrower agrees to use the Loan to pay for the Equity Transfer Price  to acquire the Target Equity and, unless with the prior written consent of the Lender, will not use the Loan for any other purpose.

 



 

1.2.                            The term of this Agreement (“Term”) shall be ten (10) years from the date of this Agreement.  Unless otherwise indicated by the Lender at any time prior to its expiration, the Term will be automatically extended for another ten (10) years, and so forth thereafter.  Subject to Article 1.3, Borrower shall repay all amounts outstanding in respect of the Loan (including any penalty or interest thereon) according to Article 1.4 at the expiry or termination of the Term.

 

1.3.                            Borrower shall not, without Lender’s prior written consent, which may be granted at Lender’s sole and absolute discretion on a case by case basis, make any prepayment of the Loan prior to the expiration of the Term, except that in the event that any one or more of the following circumstances occur, the entire amount of the Loan shall become immediately due and payable at the Lender’s option, without requiring any notice period on the part of the Lender, in accordance with Article 1.4:

 

(a)                                 Borrower becomes deceased, bankrupt, mentally incapacitated or is otherwise lacking in or has limitations in civil capacity;

 

(b)                                 Borrower, for any reason, ceases to be the holder of equity interests in the Domestic Company or reduces his proportion of equity interests in the Domestic Company except for transfers of equity interests in the Domestic Company to which Lender has consented;

 

(c)                                  Borrower (i) ceases to be employed by or to provide service to Lender or any affiliate of Lender for any reason, (ii) breaches his obligations set forth in the Equity Pledge Agreement, the Shareholder Voting Right Trust Agreement, the Exclusive Purchase Option Agreement or the Operating Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) or breaches his obligations set forth in this Agreement, or (iii) engages in any criminal act or is involved in any criminal activities; provided, that upon the occurrence of any of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, Borrower shall transfer his rights and obligation under this Agreement, together with his rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents, to a person designated by Lender and shall complete such transfer within 10 days after the occurrence of circumstance under this Article 1.3(c);

2



 

(e)                                  A court or other government authority deems this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or a substantial portion thereof to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, issue a written repayment notice to Borrower requiring the repayment of the Loan, upon the occurrence of which the entire amount of the Loan shall become due and payable upon the expiry of thirty (30) days from the date of Lender’s written notice to Borrower.

 

1.4.                            Both Parties hereby agree and confirm that Borrower may repay the Loan only in one of the following repayment methods as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, and Borrower agrees to take all actions (including executing and delivering documents or calling shareholders’ meetings) necessary or advisable to implement either of these methods:

 

(a)                                 Equity Option.  If selected by Lender, Borrower shall repay the Loan by transferring all of his equity interests in the Domestic Company (“Borrower’s Equity”) to Lender or Lender’s designated persons; or

 

(b)                                 Alternative Repayment.  As an alternative to the repayment method specified in Article 1.4(a) above, Lender may in its sole discretion determine that the Loan shall be repaid by another method upon delivering a written notice of such decision to Borrower.  In such case, Borrower shall pay to Lender the outstanding amount of the Loan (including any interest) in cash or other property, as determined by Lender, following any conditions or procedures specified by Lender.

 

1.5.                            If the transfer price for Borrower’s Equity pursuant to Article 1.4(a) or the other consideration provided by Borrower pursuant to Article 1.4(b) exceeds the outstanding principal of the Loan hereunder, then such excess shall be deemed the aggregate interest accrued with respect to the Loan (calculated by the highest interest rate permitted by PRC laws) and otherwise as financing cost, each of which shall be payable by the Borrower. Borrower shall repay all interest on the Loan, together with the principal, capital utilization costs (if any), penalty (if any) and financing cost (if any), at the expiry or termination of the Term or when otherwise required hereunder.

 

1.6.                            Provided Borrower repays the Loan by transferring all of Borrower’s Equity to Lender or Lender’s designated persons pursuant to Article 1.4(a) or provides the other required consideration pursuant to Article 1.4(b) and subject to Borrower’s indemnification obligations set forth in Article 4.2 herein, Borrower shall have no further obligation to Lender for any principal, interest or penalty (if any) under the Loan.

 

1.7.                            Any part or whole of the Loan repaid by Borrower may not be re-borrowed under this Agreement without Lender’s consent.
