LOGO

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

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

5


If a portion of the fees under Items (ii) and (iii) is attributed to the noncompliance with the representations, warranties and covenants solely by Chery under the Chery Guarantee Deed, Kenon shall not be liable for that portion.

The Parties acknowledge that in an Event of Default by Qoros under the Loan Agreement (as defined therein) and amounts payable in respect of such Event of Default could exceed the limits specified above (in the sole discretion of Chery), Chery may make any payments in respect of the Facility or related expenses under the Loan Agreement whether voluntarily or at the request of the Lender and Kenon shall be obligated to pay 50% of that payment to Chery, subject to the limits set forth under Items (i), (ii) and (iii) above.

The Parties enter into this Guarantee Contract based on the understanding that they both need to approve any drawdowns by Qoros under the Loan Agreement beyond RMB 350,000,000 (three hundred fifty million). The Parties agree that they will not authorize Qoros to drawdown additional amounts beyond RMB 350,000,000 (three hundred fifty million) under the Loan Agreement unless (a) Kenon agrees to provide an additional guarantee in respect of 50% of such additional drawdowns (i.e. up to RMB 175 million of the principal Facility as well as any additional amounts, such as interest and fees in respect thereof, subject however to the limits specified in items (ii) and (iii) above) and (b) Chery and Kenon approve in writing of any Qoros drawdown.

Chapter 2 Nature and Effectiveness of Guarantee

LOGO

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

LOGO

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

LOGO

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

 

9


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

LOGO

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

LOGO

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