(a) Automatic Conversion. All outstanding Notes (including the outstanding and unpaid Principal Amount and excluding any then-accrued and unpaid interest) shall be converted automatically into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of Class A ordinary share with a nominal or par value at USD$1.00 each (the “Class A Shares”) without any action by the Holders and whether or not the document representing such Notes are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent, upon the commencement of trading on a U.S. national securities exchange of the Company’s securities to be issued in an initial public offering (“IPO”) at a price of 56% discount to the actual price per Class A Share to be issued in the IPO (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price may be adjusted after the Issuance Date and prior to the initial closing of the IPO in accordance with Exhibit B. As soon as practicable after the occurrence of an automatic conversion, the Company shall send a written notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”) to all Holders notifying them to surrender the original form of the Note (or an affidavit of loss mutilation or destruction, together with an undertaking to provide customary indemnification to the Company in respect thereof ) to the Company in exchange a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.

 

(b) Intentionally Left Blank.

 

(c) Conversion Procedure.

 

  (i) In connection with any conversion pursuant to Section 4(a), as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of a Conversion Notice, Investor shall surrender to the Company this Note (or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to the Company whereby Investor agrees to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such loss or destruction of this Note).

  (iii)  No fractional shares or securities shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to Investor upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to Investor an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price in such conversion, by the fraction of a share or such other security not issued pursuant to the previous sentence.

 

(d) Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Class A Shares solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note such number of Class A Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the Note; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Class A Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, without limitation of such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of this Note, Company will use its reasonable best efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Class A Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

(e) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price, the manner of calculation of such adjusted Conversion Price and the date on which such adjustment becomes effective, and shall promptly send such notice to the Investor.

 

5. Discharge of Obligations. Upon the earlier of (i) the full conversion of this Note and the Company’s delivery of the required consideration, if any, in respect thereof pursuant to Section 4 and (ii) the full repayment or redemption of the outstanding and unpaid Principal Amount and any then-accrued and unpaid interest under this Note in accordance with the terms of this Note, the Company shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note and this Note shall be deemed of no further force or effect, without any further action of any party, whether or not the original of this Note has been delivered to the Company for cancellation.

 

6. “Lock-UP” Agreement. Investor hereby agrees to enter into a lock-up agreement under which Investor agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Note and the Conversion Shares during six-month period commencing on the date of the commencement of trading on a national securities exchange of the Company’s shares in connection with the IPO.

 

7. Protective Provisions.

 

(a) Indebtedness. Investor’s consent will be required for the Company to (i) incur any additional borrowing or issue any additional debt securities ranking pari passu with this Note in excess of US$20,000,000 in the aggregate in one or a series of related transactions, and (ii) incur any borrowing or issue any debt securities ranking senior to this Note, including any secured borrowing or debt securities.

The Company will deliver to Investor the documents and information set out in the Securities Purchase Agreement dated November _____, 2017 between the Company and the Investor (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), and the Investor shall be entitled to the same information rights set out in Securities Purchase Agreement, subject to the same terms, conditions, restrictions and exceptions as set out in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

(c) Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note; and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Investor, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 

(d) Corporate Existence; Assumption of Obligations by Successor Company. During the term of this Note, the Company shall (i) do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, or (ii) make adequate provisions such that the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”), if not the Company, shall expressly assume, by a duly executed amendment delivered to the Investor and reasonably satisfactory in form to the Investor, all of the obligations of the Company under this Note, and upon such assumption, such Successor Company shall succeed to and, except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets, shall be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part. Such Successor Company thereupon may cause the Note to be signed and reissued in its own name, with such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) as may be appropriate. The Note as so re-issued shall in all respects have the same benefit as though it had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such Reorganization or election relating to a Change of Control to which the foregoing clause (ii) is applicable, upon compliance with the foregoing clause (ii) the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph of this Note (or any successor that shall thereafter have become such in the manner prescribed in this Section) may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and, except in the case of a lease, such Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of this Note and from its obligations under this Note.

EXHIBIT B TO NOTES

ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION PRICE

 

1. In case the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall subdivide its outstanding Class A Shares into a greater number of shares (by any share split, share dividend or otherwise), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and, conversely, in case the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall combine its outstanding Class A Shares into a smaller number of shares (by any reverse share split or otherwise), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. In the case of any such subdivision, no further adjustment shall be made pursuant to Section 2 below by reason thereof.

 

2. If, the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall effect any capital reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization or statutory exchange of the shares of the Company in such a way that holders of Class A Shares shall be entitled to receive shares, securities or assets in exchange for Class A Shares (in each case other than an Internal Restructuring) (a “Reorganization”), then, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made whereby the Investor shall thereupon have the right to receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the Voting Ordinary Shares immediately theretofore receivable upon the full conversion of any unpaid and unconverted Principal Amount then remaining outstanding, such shares, securities or assets as may be issued or payable in exchange for a number of outstanding Voting Ordinary Shares equal to the number of Voting Ordinary Shares immediately theretofore receivable for such full conversion of such unpaid and unconverted Principal Amount remaining outstanding had such Reorganization not taken place.

 

3. Prior to the IPO, except as provided in Section 4 below and except in the case of an event described in Sections 1 or 2 above, if the Company shall issue or sell, or is, in accordance with this Section 3, deemed to have issued or sold, any new Class A Share for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (the “Pre-Adjustment Conversion Price”), then, upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), the Conversion Price shall be determined as follows:

 

NCP = OCP * (OS + (NP/OCP))/(OS + NS)

 

WHERE:

 

NCP = the new Conversion Price,

 

OCP = the Pre-Adjustment Conversion Price,

 

OS = the total outstanding Class A Shares immediately before the issuance or sale of the new Class A Shares plus the total Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of all the outstanding preference shares and exercise of outstanding options and convertible securities,

 

NP = the total consideration received for the issuance or sale of the new Class A Shares, and

 

NS = the number of new Class A Shares issued or sold.

  

 15 

 

 

For purposes of this Section 3, the following shall also be applicable:

 

(i) Issuance of Rights or Options 

 

If the Company at any time or from time to time, shall in any manner grant (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Class A Shares or any shares or security convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Shares (such warrants, rights or options being called “Options” and such convertible or exchangeable shares or securities being called “Convertible Securities”), in each case for consideration per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 3(v) below) less than the Conversion Price then in effect, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, then the total maximum number of Class A Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Options, or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options, shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting of such Options, at a price per share equal to the amount determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of Class A Shares deemed to have been so issued. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(iii) below, no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Class A Shares or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Class A Shares upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities 

 

If the Company at any time or from time to time, shall in any manner issue or sell any Convertible Securities for consideration per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 3(v) below) less than the Conversion Price then in effect, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, then the total maximum number of Class A Shares issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities, at a price per share equal to the amount determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of Class A Shares deemed to have been so issued; provided, that (1) except as otherwise provided in Section 3(iii) below, no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Class A Shares upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (2) if any such issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale.

  

 16 

 

 

(iii) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate 

 

If, at any time or from time to time, there shall occur a change in (A) the maximum number of Class A Shares issuable in connection with any Option referred to in Section 3(i) above or any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 3(i) or Section 3(ii) above, (B) the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in Section 3(i) above, (C) the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 3(i) or Section 3(ii) above or (D) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Section 3(i) or Section 3(ii) above are convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Shares (in each case, other than in connection with an event described in Section 4 below), then the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such event shall be readjusted to the relevant Conversion Price that would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities that are still outstanding provided for such changed maximum number of shares, purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment the Conversion Price then in effect is thereby reduced; and on the termination of any such Option or any such right to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities, the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall be increased to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect at the time of such termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such termination (i.e., to the extent that fewer than the number of Class A Shares deemed to have been issued in connection with such Option or Convertible Securities were actually issued), never been issued or sold or been issued or sold at such higher price, as the case may be.

 

(iv) Share Dividends 

 

If the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall declare or make, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Class A Shares entitled to receive, a dividend or make any other distribution upon any shares of the Company payable in Class A Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, any Class A Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration, the Conversion Price will be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3; provided, that no adjustment shall be made to the conversion price as a result of such dividend or distribution if the holders of the Note are entitled to, and do, receive such dividend or distribution in accordance with Article 42 of the Articles; and, providedfurther, that if any adjustment is made to the Conversion Price as a result of the declaration of a dividend and such dividend is not effected, the Conversion Price shall be appropriately readjusted to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect had such dividend not been declared.

  

(v) Consideration for Shares 

 

If the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any Class A Shares for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received or to be received by the Company therefor (determined with respect to deemed issuances and sales in connection with Options and Convertible Securities in accordance with clause (A) of Section 3(i) or Section 3(ii) above, as appropriate) as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company. In case any Class A Shares shall be issued or sold, or deemed issued or sold, for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company (the “Board”) shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration received or to be received by the Company (determined with respect to deemed issuances and sales in connection with Options and Convertible Securities in accordance with clause (A) of Section 3(i) or Section 3(ii) above, as appropriate) as determined in good faith by the Board and the holders of a majority of the Class A Shares then outstanding. In case any Options shall be issued in connection with the issuance and sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board and the holders of a majority of the Class A Shares then outstanding.

  

 17 

 

 

(vi) Record Date 

 

If the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall take a record of the holders of its Class A Shares for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Class A Shares, Options or Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Class A Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the Class A Shares deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

 

(vii) Treasury Shares 

 

The number of Class A Shares outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company; provided, that the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issuance or sale of Class A Shares for the purpose of this Section 3.

 

(viii) Other Issuances or Sales 

 

In calculating any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 3: any Options or Convertible Securities that provide, as of the effective date of such adjustment, for the issuance upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof of an indeterminable number of Class A Shares shall (together with the Class A Shares issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof) be disregarded; provided, that at such time as the number of Class A Shares issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of such Options or Convertible Securities becomes determinable, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3(iii) above.

 

4. Certain Issues or Transfer Excepted

 

Anything in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Conversion Price in the case of the issuance or transfer of (i) Class A Shares upon conversion of this Note; (ii) Class A Shares or other awards to acquire Class A Shares under the Option Plan and any other employee incentive plan of the Company and/or outside of the Option Plan as approved in accordance with the Articles, or (iii) any Class A Shares issued by the Company in exchange for the assets or shares of another Person in connection with the acquisition of such Person by the Company, whether by merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets of such Person, or otherwise, which acquisition has been approved in accordance with the Articles.
