(x) I represent that all information (x) I have provided to the Company on behalf of and for the account of Portfolio, the Investment Advisor and the Administrator in connection with this Subscription Agreement is true and correct.

(y) I shall repeat the above representations, warranties, agreements and declarations for each and every subsequent subscription or conversion request I make in respect of the Participating Shares.

(z) I acknowledge and understand that the Company on behalf of and for the account of Portfolio and the Investment Advisor will need to evaluate the status of me and comply with AML, regulatory or tax requirements applicable to the Portfolio, its shareholders or any proposed investments of the Portfolio (including, without limitation, under or pursuant to the FATCA (as defined below)) and to avoid any penalty or withholding or other adverse consequence resulting from the Portfolio's failure to comply with such obligations and requirements. Furthermore, many jurisdictions are in the process of changing or creating AML embargo and trade sanctions and similar laws, regulations and requirements (whether or not with force of law) or regulatory policies and many financial intermediaries are in the process of changing or creating responsive disclosure and compliance policies (the "Requirements") and the Company on behalf of and for the account of Portfolio and the Investment Advisor could be required to obtain certain assurances from me, disclose information pertaining to me to governmental, regulatory or other authorities or to financial intermediaries or engage in due diligence or take other related actions in the future. I acknowledge and understand that it is the Company’s (on behalf of and for the account of the Portfolio) policy to comply with Requirements to which it may become subject and to interpret them broadly in favour of disclosure. I hereby agree, and by reason of holding the Participating Shares shall be deemed to have agreed, that I shall provide additional information or take such other actions as may be necessary for the Company on behalf of and for the account of Portfolio to comply with the Requirements or related legal process. I also represent that, to my knowledge, I shall at all times comply with any Requirements. I further acknowledge that the Company on behalf of and for the account of Portfolio and the Investment Advisor may take such action as each of them considers necessary in relation to my holding, distributions and/or redemption proceeds to ensure that any withholding tax payable by the Company on behalf of and for the account of Portfolio, and any related costs, interest, penalties and other losses and liabilities suffered by the Portfolio, the Investment Advisor, or any other investor, or any agent, delegate, employee, director, officer or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons, arising from such my failure to provide any requested documentation or other information to the Company on behalf of and for the account of Portfolio, is economically borne by me. For the purposes of this paragraph, "FATCA" means one or more of the following, as the context requires:

(i) sections 1471 to 1474 of the US Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and any associated legislation, regulations or guidance, commonly referred to as the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, the Common Reporting Standards ("CRS") issued by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development or similar legislation, regulations or guidance enacted in any other jurisdiction which seeks to implement equivalent tax reporting and/or withholding tax regimes;

7

(ii) any intergovernmental agreement, treaty or any other arrangement between the Cayman Islands and the US or any other jurisdiction (including between any government bodies in each relevant jurisdiction), entered into to facilitate, implement, comply with or supplement the legislation, regulations or guidance described in the sub clause directly above; and

(iii) any legislation, regulations or guidance implemented in the Cayman Islands to give effect to the matters outlined in the preceding paragraphs.

(aa) I confirm that the Participating Shares are to be purchased through transfer of the In Specie Shares that are from legitimate sources which do not constitute the proceeds of criminal conduct or criminal property within the meaning given in the Proceeds of Crime Law (as amended) of the Cayman Islands and the regulations or guidance notes issued pursuant thereto, further, I acknowledge and understand that if any person resident in the Cayman Islands knows or suspects or has reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or is involved with terrorism or terrorist property and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of business in the regulated sector, or other trade, profession, business or employment, the person will be required to report such knowledge or suspicion to (i) the Financial Reporting Authority of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Law (as amended) of the Cayman Islands if the disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money laundering, or (ii) a police officer of the rank of constable or higher, or the Financial Reporting Authority, pursuant to the Terrorism Law (as amended) of the Cayman Islands, if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism or terrorist financing and property and any such report shall not be treated as a breach of confidence or of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by any enactment or otherwise and the fact of such disclosure shall not give rise to any liability for the disclosure.

(bb) I understand and acknowledge that where a subscription for Participating Shares is accepted, the Participating Shares will be treated as having been issued with effect from the relevant subscription day even though the subscriber for those Participating Shares may not be entered in the Portfolio’s register of members until after the relevant subscription day.

(cc) I acknowledge and agree that, the agreements and covenants in this Subscription Agreement will survive the acceptance (or rejection) of this Subscription Agreement and any subsequent redemption from the Portfolio by me of all my Participating Shares.

(dd) I acknowledge and agree that except as otherwise provided by applicable securities law, I am not entitled to cancel, terminate or revoke this subscription or any of my agreements hereunder after this Subscription Agreement has been submitted (and not rejected) and that this subscription and these agreements survive my death, incapacity, disability or insolvency. This Subscription Agreement is governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands.

(ee) I hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint the Portfolio and any of its Directors, officers (or its successor and any of its officers) with full power of substitution, acting jointly or severally, as my attorney-in-fact and agent to sign, execute and deliver, in my name and on my behalf, all or any such agreement, deeds, instruments, documents and/or any counterpart thereof or certificates or to take any such action as it deems necessary on one or more occasions pursuant to the terms of the Offering Documents and/or Articles, including (without limitation) the power and authority to sign, execute and deliver (or attach signature pages to) all agreements, deeds or instruments or documents, or any counterpart thereof, relating to any transfers of Participating Shares in my name. This power of attorney is irrevocable and is given to secure a proprietary interest of the Portfolio or the performance of an obligation owed to the Portfolio.

Furthermore, many jurisdictions are in the process of changing or creating AML embargo and trade sanctions and similar laws, regulations and requirements (whether or not with force of law) or regulatory policies and many financial intermediaries are in the process of changing or creating responsive disclosure and compliance policies (the "Requirements") and the Company on behalf of and for the account of the Portfolio and the Investment Advisor could be required to obtain certain assurances from us, disclose information pertaining to us to governmental, regulatory or other authorities or to financial intermediaries or engage in due diligence or take other related actions in the future.

We hereby agree, and by reason of holding the Participating Shares shall be deemed to have agreed, that we shall provide additional information or take such other actions as may be necessary for the Company on behalf of and for the account of the Portfolio to comply with the Requirements or related legal process. We also represent that, to our knowledge, we shall at all times comply with any Requirements. We further acknowledge that the Company on behalf of and for the account of the Portfolio and the Investment Advisor may take such action as each of them considers necessary in relation to our holding, distributions and/or redemption proceeds to ensure that any withholding tax payable by the Company on behalf of and for the account of the Portfolio, and any related costs, interest, penalties and other losses and liabilities suffered by the Company on behalf of and for the account of the Portfolio, the Investment Advisor, or any other investor, or any agent, delegate, employee, director, officer or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons, arising from our failure to provide any requested documentation or other information to the Company on behalf of and for the account of the Portfolio, is economically borne by us. For the purposes of this paragraph, "FATCA" means one or more of the following, as the context requires:

(ii) any intergovernmental agreement, treaty or any other arrangement between the Cayman Islands and the US or any other jurisdiction (including between any government bodies in each relevant jurisdiction), entered into to facilitate, implement, comply with or supplement the legislation, regulations or guidance described in the sub clause directly above; and

(iii) any legislation, regulations or guidance implemented in the Cayman Islands to give effect to the matters outlined in the preceding paragraphs.

(x) We confirm that the Participating Shares are to be purchased with funds that are from legitimate sources in connection with our regular business activities and which do not constitute the proceeds of criminal conduct or criminal property within the meaning given in the Proceeds of Crime Law (as amended) of the Cayman Islands and the regulations or guidance notes issued pursuant thereto, further, we acknowledge and understand that if any person resident in the Cayman Islands knows or suspects or has reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or is involved with terrorism or terrorist property and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of business in the regulated sector, or other trade, profession, business or employment, the person will be required to report such knowledge or suspicion to (i) the Financial Reporting Authority of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Law (as amended) of the Cayman Islands if the disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money laundering, or (ii) a police officer of the rank of constable or higher, or the Financial Reporting Authority, pursuant to the Terrorism Law (as amended) of the Cayman Islands, if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism or terrorist financing and property and any such report shall not be treated as a breach of confidence or of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by any enactment or otherwise and the fact of such disclosure shall not give rise to any liability for the disclosure.

7

(y) We understand and acknowledge that where a subscription for Participating Shares is accepted, the Participating Shares will be treated as having been issued with effect from the relevant subscription day even though the subscriber for those Participating Shares may not be entered in the Portfolio’s register of members until after the relevant subscription day.

IMPORTANT NOTICES TO POTENTIAL INVESTORS

Essence International Advanced Products and Solutions SPC (the Company) is an exempted company incorporated with limited liability and registered as a segregated portfolio company under the Companies Law. This Memorandum relates to the offering of the Participating Shares attributable to Essence Growth Company Fund SP (the Portfolio), a segregated portfolio of the Company. An investment in the Portfolio is only suitable for private investors and any invitation to subscribe for Participating Shares may be made on a private basis only.

Responsibility statement

The Directors, whose names appear in the Directory, accept responsibility for the information contained in this Memorandum. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors (who have taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case) the information contained in this Memorandum is in accordance with the facts and, in the reasonable opinion of the Directors, contains such information as is necessary to enable a prospective investor to make an informed decision as to whether or not to subscribe for the Participating Shares.

Reliance on this Memorandum

Participating Shares are being offered only on the basis of the information contained in this Memorandum. Any further information or representations given or made by any dealer, broker or other person should be disregarded and accordingly, should not be relied upon. No person has been authorised to give any information or to make any representations in connection with the offering of Participating Shares other than those contained in this Memorandum. Information given or representations made which are not contained in this Memorandum must not be relied on as having been authorised by the Directors.

Certain information contained in this Memorandum constitutes “forward-looking statements”, which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “project”, “estimate”, “intend”, “believe”, the negatives of such words, other variations of such words or comparable terminology. Due to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in the section 11 “Risk Factors” and section 12 “Conflicts of Interest”, actual events or results or the actual performance of the Portfolio may differ materially from that anticipated in such forward-looking statements.

Statements in this Memorandum are based on the law and practice in force in the Cayman Islands at the date of this Memorandum and are therefore subject to change should that law or practice changes. Neither the delivery of this Memorandum nor the issue of Participating Shares shall under any circumstances create any implication or constitute any representation that the affairs of the Company have not changed since the date of this Memorandum.

Regulation

The Participating Shares in the Company offered pursuant to this Memorandum have not been registered with or approved by any regulatory authority of any country or jurisdiction (including the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or any State securities commission), nor has any such authority passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Memorandum.

As of the date of this Memorandum, the Company is not a regulated mutual fund for the purposes of the Mutual Funds Law as none of the Participating Shares are redeemable at the option of the investor. The Company accordingly has not, and does not intend to, register as a regulated mutual fund under the Mutual Funds Law. Consequently, investors will not be entitled to certain protections afforded by that law.

Distribution and selling restrictions

Neither this Memorandum nor the Participating Shares described in it have been qualified for offer, sale or distribution under the laws of any jurisdiction governing the offer or sale of mutual fund equity interests or other securities. The distribution of this Memorandum and the offering or purchase of Participating Shares may be restricted in certain jurisdictions.

US: There will be no offering of the Participating Shares in the United States. The Participating Shares have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or any state or other securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States of America or to US Persons other than distributors, unless the Participating Shares are registered under the Securities Act, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available.

Accordingly, the Participating Shares are subject to further restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold to US Persons except as permitted under the Securities Act, the Investment Company Act and any other applicable federal, state or other securities laws, pursuant to registration or an exemption from them.

These securities are suitable for sophisticated investors, who do not require immediate liquidity for their investments, for whom an investment in the Company does not constitute a complete investment programme, and who fully understand and are willing to assume the risks involved in the Company’s investment objective. Subscribers for the Participating Shares must represent that they are acquiring the Participating Shares for investment. No offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy is being made in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation would be unlawful.

Generally: The above information is for general guidance only and the absence of a discussion in this Memorandum regarding restrictions on the sale of Participating Shares in any particular jurisdiction does not imply that the Participating Shares may or may not be purchased in such jurisdiction by prospective investors. Jurisdictions not addressed herein may or may not permit the purchase of the Participating Shares by prospective investors who are subject to the laws and regulations of such jurisdictions. Prospective investors should consult their own professional advisers with respect to the purchase of the Participating Shares.

Confidentiality

This Memorandum is strictly confidential and is to be read only by the person to whom it has been delivered to enable that person to evaluate an investment in the Portfolio. It is not to be reproduced or distributed to any other persons except that a potential investor may provide a copy to its professional advisers. For more attentions please refer to section 16 “Confidential Obligation” under this Memorandum.

Electronic Communication

On behalf of the Company and pursuant to authorization of the Company, the Investment Manager offers authorised persons, including relevant service providers and investors the opportunity to review certain fund information, including but not limited to investor and investment information, via electronic delivery. Although this may be of benefit, it is important to note that:

(a) electronic communications may not be secure, may contain computer viruses or other defects, may not be accurately replicated on other systems, or may be intercepted, deleted or interfered with without the knowledge of the sender or the intended recipient; and

iii

Copy Number:     

(b) the information may be located outside of the Cayman Islands and may need to be disclosed to third parties; e.g. those involved with the maintenance of the information, and could be accessed by unauthorised persons.

As such, the person to whom the information belongs, by investing in the Company, agrees that the Investment Manager or other authorized person, on behalf of the Company, may employ the applicable method of communication. The person will also be required to release the Company, the Investment Manager or other authorized person from any form of liability or loss associated with the communication or publication of fund information, including but not limited to investor and investment information. The Company, Investment Manager or other authorized person makes no warranties in relation to these matters and the use of the alternative methods of communication will be at the sole risk of the person to whom the information belongs. The Company, Investment Manager or other authorized person also reserves the right to intercept, monitor and retain communications to and from its systems as permitted by applicable law.

Investor responsibility

No representations or warranties of any kind are intended or should be inferred with respect to the economic return from, or the tax consequences of, an investment in the Portfolio. No assurance can be given that existing laws will not be changed or interpreted adversely. Potential investors should not construe this Memorandum as legal, tax or financial advice.

The above information is for general guidance only. Before making an investment in the Portfolio prospective investors should review this Memorandum carefully and in its entirety. Prospective investors should consult with their legal, tax and financial advisers as to any legal, tax, financial or other consequences of subscribing for, purchasing, holding, redeeming or disposing of Participating Shares in their country of citizenship, residence and/or domicile.

Risks

An investment in the Portfolio carries substantial risk. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of the Portfolio will be achieved and investment results may vary substantially over time. An investment in the Portfolio is only suitable for sophisticated investors who are able to bear the loss of a substantial portion or even all of their investment in the Portfolio. An investment in the Portfolio is not intended to be a complete investment programme for any investor.

There is no public market for Participating Shares, nor is a public market expected to develop in the future.

Potential investors should carefully consider the risk factors set out in section 11 “Risk Factors” when considering whether an investment in the Portfolio is suitable for them in light of their circumstances and financial resources. Investors are advised to seek independent professional advice on the implications of investing in the Portfolio.

(a) No Participating Shares may be transferred, assigned, disposed of, or imposed any security, pledge, mortgage, guarantee, lien, charge or other encumbrance (the “transfer”), whether directly or indirectly, legal or beneficial, voluntary or involuntary,

(i) without the prior written consent of the Directors, which consent may be withheld or delayed in their sole and absolute discretion provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in respect of a proposed transfer to an Affiliate of such Shareholder; and

(ii) without consent of the Directors and the Investment Manager, if such proposed transfer is made to any person in mainland China whose primary business is substantially similar with and competes with the Target Group.

(iii) name of the transferee and beneficial owner, as well as other relevant information requested by the Investment Manager; and

(iv) other material terms related to such transfer,

which shall be in such form as the Directors may from time to time approve. The completed transfer request, duly stamped, if applicable, together with such evidence as the Directors may require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer, must be sent to the Company. If the transferee is not already a Shareholder, it will be required to comply with all eligibility and identification requirements for a subscriber for Participating Shares.

11. Risk Factors

An investment in the Portfolio entails substantial risk. The nature of the investments of the Portfolio involves certain risks including, but not limited to, those listed below and the Investment Manager may utilise investment techniques which carry additional risks. Potential investors should carefully consider the following factors, amongst others, in determining whether an investment in the Portfolio is suitable for them.

11.1 Risks associated with the structure of the Company and the Portfolio

(a) Absence of regulatory oversight. The Company is not a regulated mutual fund under the Mutual Funds Law and it is not required to, nor does it intend to, register under the laws of any other jurisdiction.

(b) Business risk. The Company will compete with other investment funds and market participants for investment opportunities. Such competitors may be substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources than are available to the Company. They may also have a lower cost of capital and access to funding sources that are not available to the Company. Such factors may result in the Company being at a competitive disadvantage with respect to investment opportunities. In addition, the number of investment funds and market participants and the scale of the assets managed by such entities is increasing. The effect of such increase may be to reduce the opportunities available for the Company to generate returns and/or reduce the quantum of these returns.

(c) Dependence on key personnel. The investment performance of the Portfolio will be substantially dependent on the expertise of the Investment Manager, its principals and employees. In particular, the departure for any reason of the key individuals who will be primarily responsible for managing the investment of the assets of the Portfolio may have a material adverse impact on the performance of the Portfolio.

(d) FATCA. Sections 1471 through 1474 of the US Internal Revenue Code (commonly referred to as FATCA) will impose a withholding tax of 30 per cent on certain US-sourced gross amounts paid to the Company, unless various information reporting requirements are satisfied. Amounts subject to withholding under these rules include gross US-source dividend and interest income and gross proceeds from the sale of property that produces US-source dividend or interest income. To avoid withholding under FATCA, the Company will be required to report certain information to the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority which in turn will report relevant information to the United States Internal Revenue Service. Although the Company will attempt to satisfy any obligations imposed on it to avoid the imposition of this withholding tax, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to comply with the relevant reporting requirements or other obligation. If the Company becomes subject to a withholding tax as a result of FATCA, the value of Participating Shares may be materially affected.

(e) Illiquidity of Participating Shares. It is not anticipated that there will be an active secondary market for the Participating Shares and it is not expected that such a market will develop. Participating Shares are not to be redeemed at the option of the Shareholder and are not transferable without the approval of the Directors. The Company may pay redemption proceeds in whole or in part in specie. As such, a Shareholder may not receive cash proceeds on redemption or may not receive cash proceeds in a timely manner.

(f) Lack of operating history. The Portfolio is newly established. As such there is no operating history that a prospective investor can evaluate before making an investment in the Portfolio. The investment results of the Portfolio are reliant upon the success of the Investment Manager and no guarantee or representation is made in this regard. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of the Portfolio will be achieved.

40

Copy Number:     

(g) Limited rights of holders of Participating Shares. An investment in the Portfolio should be regarded as a passive investment. Shareholders have no right to participate in the day-to-day operations of the Company or the Portfolio. Nor are Shareholders entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at general meetings of the Company, other than a general meeting to vote on a proposed variation of the rights attaching to their Participating Shares. Consequently, Shareholders have no control over the management of the Company or over the appointment and removal of its Directors and service providers. The holder of the Management Shares controls all of the voting interests in the Company, other than in respect of a proposal to vary the rights attaching to the Participating Shares. Consequently, the holder of the Management Shares may make any changes to the Articles that it considers appropriate, including increasing the share capital, consolidating the shares and sub-dividing the shares. Only the holder of the Management Shares can appoint and remove the Directors and, in turn, only the Directors can terminate the services of the service providers, including the Investment Manager.

(h) Limited disclosure of information. The Directors believe that disclosure of the composition of the investment portfolio of the Portfolio could be disadvantageous, for instance by increasing competition for limited investment capacity in underlying strategies. Accordingly, as is common with other funds, Shareholders will be provided with a general performance review but typically will not have access to detailed information regarding the composition of the investment portfolio of the Portfolio.

(i) Receipt of non-public information. From time to time, the Investment Manager may come into possession of non-public information concerning specific companies although internal structures are in place to prevent the receipt of such information. Under applicable securities laws, this may limit the Investment Manager’s flexibility to buy or sell securities issued by such companies which may have an impact on the investment strategies of the Portfolio.

(j) Regulatory risks of investment funds. The regulatory environment for funds is evolving and any changes may adversely affect the ability of the Portfolio to pursue its trading strategies. Regulatory changes may also adversely affect the ability of the Investment Manager to market the Portfolio. In particular, the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) regulates the marketing in the European Economic Area (EEA) of the securities of any alternative investment fund, such as the Company. In the event that the Company is “marketed” (as such term is defined for the purposes of the AIFMD) to investors in the EEA, whether by the Investment Manager or a third party, the Company will incur significant additional compliance costs. The effect of any future regulatory change on the Company could be substantial and adverse.

(k) Segregated portfolio structure. The Company is a single legal entity and no segregated portfolio constitutes a legal entity separate from the Company itself. Under the Companies Law, shareholders may only enforce claims against the segregated portfolio to which their shares are attributable and creditors of a particular segregated portfolio will not be able to claim against assets of another segregated portfolio. In the Cayman Islands the applicable legislation will have the force of law and should be upheld in any court proceedings. However, there is a risk that the segregation of assets and liabilities between segregated portfolios will not be recognised in any court proceedings outside the Cayman Islands. In such an event there is a risk that a creditor may have recourse against the assets of all segregated portfolios.

(l) Side letters. From time to time the Company may enter into agreements (Side Letters) with certain Shareholders which provide such Shareholders with rights which are additional to and/or different from, the rights provided to other Shareholders. Such rights may include rights with respect to access to information and other preferential rights. In general, the Company will not be required to notify any other Shareholders of any such Side Letters or any of the rights and/or terms or provisions of such Side Letters. Nor will the Company be required to offer such additional and/or different rights and/or terms to any or all of the other Shareholders. As a consequence of being provided with additional information a Shareholder may be able to take action based on such additional information (for example by making a redemption request) that other Shareholders, in the absence of such information, do not take.

(m) Conflicts of Interest. The Investment Manager, the Investment Advisor and their respective Affiliates may act as the adviser, broker or investment manager to other clients (including funds) now or in the future. They may additionally serve as consultants to partners or shareholders or directors in other investment funds, companies and investment firms. Investors in the Portfolio should understand that certain investments may be appropriate for the Portfolio and also for other clients advised or managed by the Investment Manager, the Investment Advisor and their respective Affiliates. Investment decisions for the Portfolio and for such other clients are made in a manner believed by the Investment Manager or the Investment Advisor to be equitable to each.

The Directors, the Investment Manager, the Administrator, the Investment Advisor or their Affiliates may from time to time act as director, administrator, custodian, dealer or in other capacity in relation to, or be otherwise involved in, other investment funds, companies, investment firm or accounts. They may also make, manage and advise in relation to their own proprietary and/or third party investments which may give rise to actual or potential conflicts of interest between the Company and such entities that the Investment Manager , the Investment Advisor and their respective Affiliates use to facilitate proprietary and/or third party investments. The Directors, the Investment Manager, the Administrator, the Investment Advisor and their respective Affiliates may also own the Participating Shares and hold, dispose of or otherwise deal with such Participating Shares as well as hold or deal with any investments notwithstanding that similar investments may be held by or for the account of the Portfolio. In dealing with any matter involving an actual or potential conflict of interest, the Directors, the Investment Manager, the Administrator, and/or the Investment Advisor and their Affiliates will be guided by good faith judgment and shall take such actions as are determined by the Directors, the Investment Manager, the Administrator, the Investment Advisor and/or their Affiliates to be necessary or appropriate to ameliorate such conflict of interest, but there is no certainty that any conflict of interest will be resolved fairly.

For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting any other provision of this Memorandum, the Directors, the Investment Manager, the Administrator, the Investment Advisor and their Affiliates may acquire, hold and dispose of interests in the target company which the Portfolio invested in and may execute agency transactions in such securities. In addition, the Investment Manager, the Administrator, the Investment Advisor and their Affiliates may provide investment advice to the Company and may receive and retain remuneration and/or rebates directly from the Company in connection therewith, provided that such receipt of remuneration and/or rebates is subject to the consent of the Directors.

(n) No Guarantee. There is no guarantee that the Preferred Dividend and other payments to Shareholders under this Memorandum will be declared or made if the legally available funds of the Portfolio are not sufficient to do so or such distribution or payments will contravene the applicable laws and regulations. Neither the Company, the Investment Manager, the Investment Advisor, other service providers or their respective directors, members, officers, employee and agents shall be liable to pay such amounts to the Shareholders.

Copy Number:     

11.2 Risks associated with the investment strategies

(a) Limited Diversification. The Investment Manager may invest most portion of the Portfolio’s capital into the Target Company. Such concentration of investment will inevitably make the Portfolio subject to a greater level of volatility and there could be less means to hedge such volatility. Losses caused by the investment in the Target Company which the Portfolio is concentrated in could materially adversely affect the Portfolio's performance in a particular period and could have a materially adverse effect on the Portfolio's overall financial condition. Further, significant losses or redemptions may leave the Portfolio with insufficient funds to diversify its investments. The appreciation of the value of the Portfolio will be highly dependent on the economy of the industrial sector that the Target Company is engaged in, the financial results of the Target Company and the price of the securities of the Target Company. Although the Investment Manager believes that such investments are favourable to the interest of Shareholders, there can be no assurance that the Target Company could achieve the positive results as the Investment Manager has expected.

(b) Reliance on Investment Manager. The Shareholders have no authority to make investment decisions or to exercise certain business discretion on behalf of the Portfolio. The authority for such decisions is generally delegated to the Investment Manager. The success of the Portfolio depends upon the ability of the Directors and the Investment Manager to develop and implement investment strategies that achieve the Portfolio’s investment objectives. Subjective decisions made by the Investment Manager may cause the Portfolio to incur losses or to miss profit opportunities on which it would otherwise have capitalized. The investment performance of the Portfolio is substantially dependent on the services of certain key individuals of the Investment Manager. In the event of death, incapacity, departure, insolvency or withdrawal of any of these individuals, the performance of the Portfolio may be adversely affected.

(c) Counterparty risk. The Portfolio is subject to the risk of the inability of any counterparty to perform with respect to transactions, whether due to insolvency, bankruptcy or other circumstances. The Portfolio is subject to the risk that counterparties may not have access to finance and/or assets at the relevant time and may fail to comply with their obligations under the relevant sale and repurchase agreements. In the event of any counterparty entering an insolvency procedure, the Company could experience delays in liquidating positions and significant losses could be incurred, including the loss of that portion of the assets of the Portfolio financed through such a transaction, a decline in value of the relevant investment during the period in which the Company seeks to enforce the contract, an inability to realise any gains on its investment during such period and fees and expenses incurred in enforcing the contract. During an insolvency procedure (which may last many years) the use of assets held by or on behalf of the relevant counterparty may be restricted and accordingly (a) the ability of the Investment Manager to fulfil the investment objective may be severely constrained, (b) the Company may be required to suspend the calculation of the net asset value and as a result subscriptions for and redemptions of Participating Shares. During such a procedure, the Company is likely to be an unsecured creditor in relation to certain assets (including those in respect of which it had previously been a secured creditor) and accordingly it may not be possible to recover such assets from the insolvent estate of the relevant counterparty in full, or at all.

(d) Equity securities generally. Numerous inter-related and difficult to quantify economic factors, as well as market sentiment and subjective political factors can influence the price of equities. Common stock and similar equity securities generally represent the most junior position in an issuer’s capital structure and, as such, generally only entitle holders to an interest in the remaining assets of the issuer after all more senior claims to such assets have been satisfied. Holders of equity securities are generally entitled to dividends only if and to the extent declared by the issuer out of income or other assets available after making interest, dividend and any other required payments on more senior securities of the issuer. Equity prices are directly affected by issuer-specific events, whether actual or perceived, as well as general market and economic conditions. Market prices of equity securities as a group have dropped dramatically in a short period of time on several occasions in the past, and they may do so again in the future. Warrants and stock purchase rights are securities permitting, but not obligating, their holders to subscribe for other equity securities, and they do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuer. As a result, warrants and stock purchase rights may be considered more speculative than other types of equity investments.

43

Copy Number:     

(e) General economic and market conditions. The success of the Portfolio will be affected by general economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws, trade barriers, currency exchange controls and national and international political circumstances. These factors may affect the level and volatility of securities prices and the liquidity of the investments of the Portfolio. Volatility or illiquidity could impair the profitability of the Portfolio or result in losses.

(f) In-kind distributions. A redeeming Shareholder may, in the discretion of the Directors, receive securities which form part of the assets of the Portfolio in lieu of or in combination with cash. The value of securities distributed may decrease before the securities can be sold and the redeeming Shareholder will incur transaction costs in connection with the sale of those securities. Additionally, securities distributed to a Shareholder in connection with a redemption or cumplsory redemption may not be readily marketable. The redeeming Shareholder bears the risk of loss and delay in liquidating those securities, with the result that it may ultimately receive less cash than it would otherwise have received if it had been paid in cash alone for its Participating Shares on the date of redemption or compulsory redemption.

(g) Investments in the Target Company. The assets of the Portfolio (to the extent not retained in cash) will be invested in the Target Company. In addition to the risks relating to the investment strategy generally, investing in the Target Company will result in additional risks. These include:

(i) Lack of active management over the Target Company. The Portfolio will have no voting right in the Target Company. The Portfolio may not be able to exercise control over the Target Company and the Portfolio’s ability to protect its investment therein may therefore be limited. The directors or other control persons of the Target Company may not owe fiduciary duties to the Portfolio.

(ii) Limited lines of business. Investments in the Target Company, while often presenting greater opportunities for growth, may also entail larger risks than are customarily associated with investments in companies with more diversified lines of business. The Target Company may have more limited product lines, and may also face competition. As a result, it may be more vulnerable to general economic trends and to specific changes in markets and technology.

(iii) Reliance on management of the Target Company. There can be no assurance that the management team of the Target Company will continue to successfully operate the Target Company.

(iv) Reliance on financial reporting. Strategies implemented by the Portfolio may rely on the financial information made available by the Target Company in which the Portfolio invests. The Investment Manager will have no ability to independently verify the financial information disseminated by the Target Company and is dependent upon the integrity of both the management of the Target Company and the financial reporting process in general. Recent events have demonstrated the material losses which investors can incur as a result of corporate (as well as government agency) mismanagement, fraud and accounting irregularities.

(v) Privatization. The Target Shares of the Target Company are listed on NASDAQ for now and it’s the Target Company’s intention to delist itself from NASDAQ. There can be no assurance that the Privatization of the Target Company will never be suspended or terminated. Before the Privatization is completed, the investment made in a specific group of securities is exposed to the universal risks of the securities market. However, there can be no guarantee that losses equivalent to or greater than the overall market will not be incurred as a result of investing in the Target Shares by the Portfolio.

44

Copy Number:     

(vi) Illiquidity. After the completion of the Privatization of the Target Company, if the shares of the Target Company held by the Portfolio, whether directly or indirectly, have not been disposed of by the Portfolio in a timely manner, such investment may carry a significantly higher risk of investment loss than investing in quoted or IPO securities. The risk factor includes but is not limited to, illiquidity because of a lack of a secondary market. The shares of the Target Company will be unlisted securities and such investment may be illiquid. The market for relatively illiquid securities tends to be more volatile than the market for more liquid securities. Illiquidity may cause wide spreads between the bid and offer prices of securities, which may in turn have an impact on the value of the Portfolio. Investment in the Target Company’s shares after Privatization may restrict the ability of the Portfolio to dispose of its investments at a price and time that it wishes to do so.

(h) Overall investment risk. All investments of the Portfolio risk the loss of capital. The nature of the securities to be purchased and traded by the Portfolio and the investment techniques and strategies to be employed in an effort to increase profits may increase this risk. Many unforeseeable events, including actions by various government agencies, and domestic and international political events, may cause sharp market fluctuations. Changes in the macroeconomic environment, including, for example, interest rates, inflation rates, industry conditions, competition, technological developments, political events and trends, changes to tax laws, currency exchange rates, regulatory policy, employment and consumer demand and innumerable other factors, can substantially and adversely affect the performance of an investment of the Portfolio. None of these conditions will be within the control of the Investment Manager and there can be no assurance that the Portfolio will not incur losses.

(i) Tax considerations. Where the Portfolio invests, albeit indirectly, in securities that are not subject to withholding tax at the time of acquisition, there can be no assurance that tax may not be withheld in the future as a result of any change in applicable laws, treaties, rules or regulations or the interpretation thereof. The Portfolio may not be able to recover such withheld tax and so any such change could have an adverse effect on the net asset value. Where the Portfolio sells securities short that are subject to withholding tax at the time of sale, the price obtained will reflect the withholding tax liability of the purchaser. In the event that in the future such securities cease to be subject to withholding tax, the benefit thereof will accrue to the purchaser and not to the Portfolio.

11.3 Risks associated with the business of the Target Company

(a) Reliance on relevant products. The Target Company’s battery products are largely used to power various portable electronic devices and since the Target Company has invested in development of new products and also acquired an equity ownership in Huizhou Yipeng Energy Technology Co. Ltd., an electric vehicle (EV) power battery system solutions provider, the operation of the Target Company is substantially tied to EV and portable electronic devices markets. However, the current global economic downturn may weaken the growth of these relevant markets, and the company is and will continue to be subject to declining average selling prices of consumer electronic devices, which may harm the Target Company’s results of operations.

(b) Reliance on certain customers. The Target Company anticipates that a limited number of customers will continue to contribute to a significant portion of the Target Company’s net sales in the future. Maintaining the relationships with these significant customers is vital to the expansion and success of the Target Company’s business, as the loss of a major customer could expose the Target Company to risk of substantial losses. The Target Company’s sales and revenue could decline and the Target Company’s results of operations could be materially adversely affected if one or more of these significant customers stops or reduces its purchasing of the Target Company’s products, or if the Target Company fails to expand the Target Company’s customer base for the Target Company’s products.

45

Copy Number:     

(c) Working capital. A substantial portion of the Target Company’s working capital consists of accounts receivable from customers. If customers responsible for a significant amount of accounts receivable were to become insolvent or otherwise unable to pay for products and services, or to make payments in a timely manner, the Target Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected. An economic or industry downturn could materially adversely affect the servicing of these accounts receivable, which could result in longer payment cycles, increased collection costs and defaults in excess of management’s expectations. In addition, maintaining and expanding the Target Company’s manufacturing operations requires significant capital expenditures, and the Target Company’s inability to maintain and expand the Target Company’s operations would have a materially adverse impact on the ability to generate revenue.

(d) Material supply. The Target Company uses a broad range of materials and supplies, including metals, chemicals and other electronic components. A significant disruption or fluctuations in costs of raw materials could decrease production and increase the operating costs. If the Target Company could not procure the components from other sources, it would not be able to meet the production schedules for some of the key products and to ship such products to customers in a timely fashion, which would adversely affect the Target Company’s sales, margins and customer relations.

(e) Competition risk. The market for the Target Company’s products and services is very competitive and subject to rapid technological change. Many of the Target Company’s competitors are larger and have significantly greater assets, name recognition and financial, personnel and other resources. As a result, the Target Company’s competitors may be in a stronger position. If the Target Company is not able to increase its manufacturing output and reduce the unit production costs, it may not be able to maintain the competitive position in the battery industry, which in turn could potentially harm the Target Company’s performance.

(f) Influence from the PRC government. The PRC government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. The Target Company’s ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in relating laws and regulations, for example, if the Target Company’s land use rights are revoked or not renewed, the Target Company would be forced to relocate operations. Also, the scope of the Target Company’s business license in China is limited, and the Target Company may not expand or continue the Target Company’s business without government approval and renewal, respectively. Moreover, the central or local governments of the jurisdictions in which the Target Company operates may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on the Target Company’s part to ensure the Target Company’s compliance with such regulations or interpretations. Moreover, under the current government leadership, the government of the PRC has been pursuing economic reform policies that encourage private economic activities and greater economic decentralization. There is no assurance, however, that the government of the PRC will continue to pursue these policies, or that it will not significantly alter these policies from time to time without advance notice.

12. Conflicts of Interest

12.1 General

The Directors, the Investment Manager, the Investment Advisor and any prime broker, custodian or broker appointed by or in respect of the Company, and their respective directors, officers and employees may, from time to time, act as director, promoter, manager, investment manager, investment adviser, registrar, administrator, transfer agent, trustee, custodian, broker, distributor or placing agent to, or be otherwise involved in, other collective investment schemes which have similar investment objectives to those of the Portfolio. Similarly, one or more of them may provide discretionary fund management or ancillary administration, custodian or brokerage services to investors with similar investment objectives to those of the Portfolio. Consequently, any of them may, in the course of their business, have potential conflicts of interests with respect to the Portfolio. Each will at all times have regard to its obligations to the Company in respect of the Portfolio and will endeavour to resolve such conflicts fairly.

12.2 Investment Manager

(a) The Controlling Person of the Target Company is also the sole director and sole shareholder of the Investment Manager. The investment decisions of the Investment Manager or the Controlling Person may disadvantage the Portfolio in certain situations.

(b) The Investment Manager and its Affiliates may manage the assets of individual accounts or other investment funds (collectively the Manager Clients), in which the Portfolio has no interest. In addition, the Investment Manager and its Affiliates, and any of their respective officers, directors, partners, members or employees, may invest for their own accounts in various investment opportunities, including in investment companies, private investment companies or other investment vehicles in which the Portfolio will have no interest.

(c) The Investment Manager or its Affiliates may, in its reasonable discretion, determine that an investment opportunity in a particular investment vehicle is appropriate for a particular Manager Client or for themselves or their respective officers, directors, partners, members or employees, but not for the Portfolio. Situations may arise in which the Investment Manager or its Affiliates or Manager Clients have made investments that would have been suitable for investment by the Portfolio but, for various reasons, were not pursued by, or available to, the Portfolio. The investment activities of the Investment Manager or its Affiliates and any of their respective officers, directors, partners, members or employees may disadvantage the Portfolio in certain situations, if, among other reasons, the investment activities limit the ability of the Portfolio to invest in an investment vehicle.

(d) The officers or employees of the Investment Manager and its Affiliates may engage in substantial activities other than on behalf of the Portfolio and may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time and activity between the Portfolio and the Manager Clients. The Investment Manager and its officers and employees will devote so much of their time to the affairs of the Portfolio as in their judgment is necessary and appropriate.

(e) From time to time, the Investment Manager may come into possession of non-public information concerning specific companies even though internal structures are in place to prevent the receipt of such information. Under applicable securities laws, this may limit the Portfolio's flexibility to buy or sell portfolio securities issued by such companies. The Portfolio's investment flexibility may be constrained as a consequence of the Investment Manager's inability to use such information for investment purposes.

48

Copy Number:     

(f) The Investment Manager will discuss the conflicts of interest with the Company and the Class C2 Shareholders. The Investment Manager shall be subject to the Company’s instruction in dealing with such conflicts of interest.

12.3 Investment Advisor

(a) The Investment Advisor and its Affiliates may provide investment advisory services to other individual accounts or investment funds (collectively the Advisor Clients), in which the Portfolio has no interest. In addition, the Investment Advisor and its Affiliates, and any of their respective officers, directors, partners, members or employees, may invest for their own accounts in various investment opportunities, including in investment companies, private investment companies or other investment vehicles in which the Portfolio will have no interest.

(b) The Investment Advisor or its Affiliates may, in its reasonable discretion, determine that an investment opportunity in a particular investment vehicle is appropriate for a particular Advisor Client or for themselves or their respective officers, directors, partners, members or employees, but not for the Portfolio. Situations may arise in which the Investment Advisor or its Affiliates or Advisor Clients have made investments that would have been suitable for investment by the Portfolio but, for various reasons, were not pursued by, or available to, the Portfolio. The investment activities of the Investment Advisor or its Affiliates and any of their respective officers, directors, partners, members or employees may disadvantage the Portfolio in certain situations, if, among other reasons, the investment activities limit the ability of the Portfolio to invest in an investment vehicle.

(c) The officers or employees of the Investment Advisor and its Affiliates may engage in substantial activities other than on behalf of the Portfolio and may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time and activity between the Portfolio and Advisor Clients. The Investment Advisor and its officers and employees will devote so much of their time to the affairs of the Portfolio as in their judgment is necessary and appropriate.

(d) The Investment Advisor may contract with entities that provide certain technology, research, consulting and other services that may have employees, principals and officers affiliated with, or in common with, the Investment Advisor. These entities may be paid out of the soft dollars of the Portfolio.

(e) The Investment Advisor and its Affiliates or Advisor Clients may have an interest in an account or investment vehicle advised by, or enter into relationships with, the Investment Advisor or its Affiliates on terms different, and potentially more favorable, than an interest in such account or investment vehicle held by the Portfolio. In addition, the Investment Advisor may receive research products and services in connection with the brokerage services that the Investment Advisor and its Affiliates may provide from time to time to one or more Advisor Clients.

(f) From time to time, the Investment Advisor may come into possession of non-public information concerning specific companies although internal structures are in place to prevent the receipt of such information. Under applicable securities laws, this may limit the Portfolio's flexibility to buy or sell portfolio securities issued by such companies. The Portfolio's investment flexibility may be constrained as a consequence of the Investment Advisor's inability to use such information for investment purposes.

(g) The Investment Advisor may advise the Portfolio to transact with its Affiliate or Advisor Clients such as purchasing assets from or selling assets to them, provided that the Investment Advisor will advise such transactions on an arm’s length basis.

(h) The Investment Advisor will discuss the above conflicts of interest with any prospective investors or the Shareholders upon request. These activities and conflicts of interest are explicitly acknowledged and consented to by each investor as a necessary condition to the subscription of Participating Shares. Consent to the foregoing is an integral part of the consideration of each investor’s subscription for Participating Shares.

12.4 Directors

At all times, so far as practicable, the Directors will have regard to their obligations to act in the best interests of the Company and will seek to ensure that any conflict of interest is resolved fairly concerning their fiduciary duties as the directors of the Company.

(a) A Director may be a party to, or otherwise interested in, any transaction or arrangement with the Company or in which the Company is otherwise interested. The Director will not be liable to account to the Company for any profit he derives from such a transaction or arrangement provided the nature and extent of any material interest has been disclosed to the other Directors.

(b) A Director who has an interest in any particular business to be considered at a meeting of the Directors may be counted for the purpose of determining whether the meeting is duly constituted and may vote at such meeting provided that the interest has been disclosed.

(c) At all times, so far as practicable, the Directors will have regard to their obligations to act in the best interests of the Company and will seek to ensure that any conflict of interest is resolved fairly.

(d) Save as disclosed in this Memorandum, no Director has any interest, direct or indirect, in the promotion of, or in any assets which are proposed to be acquired, disposed of by or leased to, the Company. Save as disclosed in this Memorandum, no Director has a material interest in any contract or arrangement entered into by the Company which is unusual in nature or conditions or significant in relation to the business of the Company, nor has any Director had such an interest since the Company was incorporated.

13. Taxation

13.1 General

(a) The following is based on the Company’s understanding of certain aspects of the law and practice currently in force in the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong. The comments below are based on laws, regulations, guidelines, published administrative rulings and judicial decisions currently in effect, all of which may change or be subject to different interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such changes could adversely affect the comments made below. There can be no guarantee that the tax position at the date of this Memorandum or at the time of an investment will endure indefinitely.

(b) In view of the number of different jurisdictions where local laws may apply to Shareholders, the comments below do not address the tax consequences to potential investors of the purchase, ownership and disposition of Participating Shares. Prospective investors are urged to consult their own tax advisers in determining the possible tax consequences to them under the laws of the jurisdictions of which they are citizens, residents or domiciliaries, jurisdictions in which they conduct business and jurisdictions in which they purchase, hold, redeem or dispose of Participating Shares. The comments below do not constitute tax advice.

13.2 Cayman Islands

(a) The Company is not subject to any income, withholding or capital gains taxes in the Cayman Islands.

(b) Shareholders will not be subject to any income, withholding or capital gains taxes in the Cayman Islands with respect to their Participating Shares and dividends received on those Participating Shares, nor will they be subject to any estate or inheritance taxes in the Cayman Islands.

(c) The Company is registered as an "exempted company" limited by shares pursuant to the Companies Law. The Company may apply for an undertaking from the government of the Cayman Islands to the effect that, for a period of twenty years from the date of such undertaking, no law that thereafter is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax or duty to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations, or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax, will apply to any property comprised in or any income arising under the Company, or to the Shareholders thereof, in respect of any such property or income.

(d) There are no exchange controls in the Cayman Islands.

13.3 Hong Kong

(a) The Company has not registered, and does not intend to register, a branch in Hong Kong pursuant to Part XI of the Companies Ordinance of Hong Kong. It is not intended that the Company will have any place of business in Hong Kong. However, the Company may be considered to be carrying on a business in Hong Kong by virtue of the activities of the Investment Manager or the Investment Advisor. As such no assurance can be given that the Company will not be considered by the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department to be subject to Hong Kong profits tax.

(b) Hong Kong imposes profits tax at a flat rate of 16.5 per cent on incorporated persons, such as the Company, on profits which arise in or are derived from Hong Kong, from the carrying on of a trade, business or profession in Hong Kong. Capital gains derived from the sale of investments are not generally considered to be profits for Hong Kong tax purposes and thus are not subject to any Hong Kong tax. However, gains which are considered to be derived from a trading activity, as opposed to mere investment activity, carried on in Hong Kong may potentially be subject to Hong Kong profits tax.

51

Copy Number:     

(c) Under the Inland Revenue Ordinance of Hong Kong (the Ordinance), as amended by the Inland Revenue (Profits Tax Exemption for Funds) (Amendment) Ordinance 2019 which came into operation on 1 April 2019, certain profits of certain funds (as defined in the Ordinance) may be exempted from payment of profits tax, provided that the specific requirements under the Ordinance are met and subject always to certain qualifications and tests as provided in the Ordinance. However, no assurance can be given that the Company may be able to avail itself of such profits tax exemption under the Ordinance.

(d) The Ordinance, however, contains certain anti-avoidance and “round-tripping” provisions, pursuant to which certain assessable profits of a fund or assessable profits of special purpose entities held by the fund may be regarded as assessable profits of resident persons of Hong Kong. This is notwithstanding the fact that the fund is itself exempted and irrespective of whether the person has received or will receive (whether directly or indirectly) from the fund concerning any money or other property representing the profits of the fund for the relevant year of assessment. These deeming provisions may apply, inter alia, if, in a year of assessment commencing on or after 1 April 2019, a resident person either alone or jointly with any of the person’s associates (whether a resident person of Hong Kong or not) holds or is interested in 30 per cent or more of the beneficial interest in the relevant fund.

(e) The register of Shareholders will be maintained outside Hong Kong. Accordingly the Participating Shares will not constitute Hong Kong stock for the purposes of the Stamp Duty Ordinance of Hong Kong and a charge to Hong Kong stamp duty should not arise on the redemption or transfer of any Participating Shares.

13.4 Other jurisdictions

It is possible that certain dividends, interest and other income received by the Company in respect of the Portfolio from sources within certain countries may be subject to withholding taxes imposed by such countries. The Company may also be subject to capital gains taxes or other taxes in some of the countries where it purchases and sells securities or otherwise conducts business. It is impossible to predict in advance the rate of tax that will be paid since the amount of the assets of the Portfolio to be invested in various countries is uncertain. For more details, please consult your own tax advisor.

13.5 Compliance with automatic exchange of information legislation

(a) US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

(i) The US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and sections 1471 through 1474 of the US Internal Revenue Code (collectively referred to as FATCA) requires certain “Foreign Financial Institutions”, including the Company, to report on assets held by US person. Failure to do so could result in the Foreign Financial Institution being subject to a withholding tax (currently at the rate of 30 per cent) on certain payments. Payments subject to withholding under these rules generally include gross US-source dividend and interest income, gross proceeds from the sale of property that produces dividend or interest income from sources within the US and certain other payments made by or through “Participating Foreign Financial Institutions” to “recalcitrant account holders” and “Non-participating Financial Institutions” (so called “foreign pass thru payments”).

52

Copy Number:     

(ii) The Cayman Islands Government has entered into a Model 1 intergovernmental agreement with the United States (the US IGA) and implemented domestic regulations (the Cayman US FATCA Regulations) to facilitate compliance with FATCA. The US IGA provides that Cayman Islands Financial Institutions, including the Company, which comply with the Cayman US FATCA Regulations (and through them the US IGA) will be treated as satisfying the due diligence and reporting requirements of FATCA and accordingly will be “deemed compliant” with the requirements of FATCA. To comply with its obligations under the Cayman US FATCA Regulations, the Company will be required to identify whether Participating Shares are held directly or indirectly by “Specified US Persons” (as defined in the US IGA) and report information on such Specified US Persons to the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority (the Cayman TIA). The Cayman TIA will in turn report relevant information to the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS). If the Company is not able to comply with its reporting requirements under the US IGA (whether due to a failure of one or more Shareholders to provide adequate information or otherwise), the Company could be deemed to be a “Non-participating Financial Institution” as a result of “significant non-compliance”. In such a situation the withholding tax under FATCA could be imposed on US-sourced amounts paid to the Company.

(b) OECD Common Reporting Standard requirements regarding tax reporting

(i) The “Common Reporting Standard” (CRS) was developed by the OECD to be an international standard for the automatic exchange of financial account information between relevant jurisdictions. Jurisdictions committed to the CRS (each a Participating Jurisdiction) will either be a signatory to the multi-lateral competent authority agreement (MCAA) or will sign bilateral competent authority agreements with certain other Participating Jurisdictions.

(ii) Under the MCAA (or the relevant bilateral agreement), Participating Jurisdictions will become Reportable Jurisdictions once they have implemented appropriate domestic legislation, put in place the necessary administrative and IT infrastructure (both to collect and exchange information and to protect confidentiality and safeguard data) and provided the necessary notifications for exchange. Participating Jurisdictions will have to collect and exchange relevant information with relevant Reportable Jurisdictions.

(iii) The Cayman Islands Government is a signatory to the MCAA and has implemented CRS through the Tax Information Authority (International Tax Compliance) (Common Reporting Standards) Regulations (2018 Revision) (the CRS Regulations). Under the CRS Regulations, the Company will be required to make an annual filing to the Cayman TIA in respect of Shareholders who are tax resident in a Reportable Jurisdiction and/or whose “Controlling Persons” are tax resident in a Reportable Jurisdiction (unless one or more of the limited exemptions in the CRS Regulations apply).

(iv) The list of Reportable Jurisdictions for the Cayman Islands is available on the Cayman TIA website at http://www.tia.gov.ky/pdf/CRS_Legislation.pdf.

(c) Implications for Shareholders

(i) In order to comply with the US IGA, the MCAA (or any relevant bilateral agreement) and the relevant domestic legislation (collectively AEOI Legislation), the Company may be required to disclose certain confidential information provided by Shareholders to the Cayman TIA, which in turn will report the information to the relevant foreign fiscal authority. In addition, the Company may at any time require a Shareholder to provide additional information and/or documentation which the Company may be required to disclose to the Cayman TIA.

53

Copy Number:     

(ii) If a Shareholder does not provide the requested information and/or documentation, whether or not that actually leads to compliance failures by the Company, or a risk of the Company being subject to any withholding tax or other liability or being required to withhold amounts from distributions to be made to any Shareholder, the Company may take any action and/or pursue any remedy at its disposal. Such action or remedy may include the compulsory redemption of some or all of the Participating Shares held by the Shareholder concerned or the conversion of such Participating Shares into Participating Shares of another Class.

(iii) To the extent the Company incurs any costs or suffers any withholding as a result of a Shareholder’s failure, or is required by law to apply a withholding against the Shareholder, it may set off such amount against any payment otherwise due from the Company to the Shareholder or may allocate such amount to the Participating Shares held by such Shareholder. No Shareholder affected by any such action or remedy shall have any claim against the Company for any form of damages or liability as a result of actions taken or remedies pursued by or on behalf of the Company in order to comply with the AEOI Legislation.

(iv) Shareholders are encouraged to consult their own advisors regarding the possible application of the AEOI Legislation and the potential impact of the same, on their investment in the Portfolio.

14. Additional Information

14.1 Regulation

(a) The Company does not fall within the definition of a "mutual fund" in terms of the Mutual Funds Law until the Company Issues redeemable participating shares. If the Company issues redeemable participating share, whether attributable to this Portfolio or other segregated portfolios as the Company may from time to time create, the Company will register as a "mutual fund" in accordance with the Mutual Funds Law and be regulated in terms thereof, provided that the Company is not required to be licensed or employ a licensed mutual fund administrator since the minimum aggregate investment purchasable by a prospective investor in the Company is equal to or exceeds US$100,000 or its equivalent in any other currency.

(b) In the event of registration as a regulated mutual fund, the Company would be subject to the supervision of CIMA. The Company would also be required to file this Memorandum and details of any changes that materially affect any information in this Memorandum with CIMA. The Company would also be required to file annually with CIMA accounts approved by an approved auditor, together with a return containing particulars specified by CIMA, within six months of its financial year end or within such extension of that period as CIMA may allow. A prescribed fee may also be required to be paid annually. For as long as the Company is not registered, it will not be subject to these regulatory requirements.

(c) If the Company would be registered as a mutual fund, CIMA may, at any time, instruct the Company to have its accounts audited and to submit them to CIMA within such time as CIMA specifies. In addition, CIMA may require the Directors to give CIMA such information or such explanation in respect of the Company as CIMA may reasonable require to enable it to carry out its duty under the Mutual Funds Law.

(d) If the Company would be registered as a mutual fund, CIMA shall, whenever it considers necessary, examine, including by way of onsite inspections or in such other manner as it may determine, the affairs or business of the Company for the purpose of satisfying itself that the provisions of the Mutual Funds Law and applicable anti-money laundering regulations are being complied with.

(e) If the Company would be registered as a mutual fund, the Directors must give CIMA access to or provide at any reasonable time all records relating to the Company and CIMA may copy or take an extract of a record it is given access to. Failure to comply with these requests by CIMA may result in substantial fines on the part of the Directors and may result in CIMA applying to the court to have the Company wound up.

(f) CIMA may take certain actions if it is satisfied that a regulated mutual fund:

(i) is or is likely to become unable to meet its obligations as they fall due;

(ii) is carrying on or is attempting to carry on business or is winding up its business voluntarily in a manner that is prejudicial to its investors or creditors;

(iii) is not being managed in a fit and proper manner; or

(iv) has persons appointed as Director, manager of officer that is not a fit and proper person to hold the respective position.

55

Copy Number:     

(g) The powers of CIMA include inter alia the power to require the substitution of Directors, to appoint a person to advise the Company on the proper conduct of its affairs or to appoint a person to assume control of the affairs of the Company. There are other remedies available to CIMA including the ability to cancel the registration of the Company and to apply to the court for approval of other actions.

14.2 Anti-Money Laundering

(a) In order to comply with applicable legislation or regulations aimed at the prevention of money laundering and combating of terrorist financing (AML Regime), the Company is required to adopt and maintain anti-money laundering procedures, and may require subscribers to provide evidence to verify their identity and source of funds. Where permitted, and subject to certain conditions, the Company may also delegate the maintenance of its anti-money laundering procedures (including the acquisition of due diligence information) to a suitable person, within or outside the jurisdiction.

(b) Although certain due diligence exceptions may be available under the AML regime, the Company and the Investment Advisor on the Company's behalf, reserve the right to request such information as is necessary to verify the identity of a prospective investor (i.e. a subscriber or a transferee). Performance of the anti-money laundering functions has been delegated to the Investment Advisor pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement.

(c) Any information obtained from the investor, or in relation to the investor, the Company or its business, may be disclosed by the Company or the Investment Advisor to third parties, within or outside the jurisdiction, including, inter alia, Affiliates, service providers and/or regulatory, legal, fiscal and administrative authorities, in the course of conduct of business of the Company or the Investment Advisor.

(d) In the event of delay or failure on the part of the subscriber in producing any information required for verification purposes, the Company or the Investment Advisor on the Company’s behalf, may refuse to accept the application or forcibly redeem the subscriber’s position, in which case any funds received will be returned without interest in due course to the account from which they were originally debited, or dealt with by the Company or the Investment Advisor in compliance with the AML Regime.

(e) The Company and the Investment Advisor on the Company's behalf, also reserve the right to refuse to make any redemption or dividend payment to a Shareholder if the Directors or the Investment Advisor suspect or are advised that the payment of redemption or dividend proceeds to such Shareholder may be non-compliant with the AML regime or any other applicable laws or regulations, or if such refusal is considered necessary or appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Company or the Investment Advisor with the AML Regime or any other applicable laws or regulations.

(f) If any person resident in the Cayman Islands knows, suspects, or has reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or is involved with terrorism or terrorist property and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of business in the regulated sector or other trade, profession, business or employment, the person will be required to report such knowledge or suspicion to (i) the Financial Reporting Authority of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Law (as amended) of the Cayman Islands if the disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money laundering, or (ii) a police officer of the rank of constable or higher, or the Financial Reporting Authority, pursuant to the Terrorism Law (as amended) of the Cayman Islands, if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism or terrorist financing and property. Such a report shall not be treated as a breach of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by law or otherwise.

(g) Cayman Islands

As part of the Company's responsibility for the prevention of money laundering, the Company and the Investment Advisor (including its affiliates, subsidiaries or Affiliates) will require a detailed verification of the applicant's identity and the source of payment. Depending on the circumstances of each application, a detailed verification might not be required where:

(i) the applicant is a relevant financial business required to comply with the Anti-Money Laundering Regulations (2018 Revision) or is a majority-owned subsidiary of such a business; or

(ii) the applicant is acting in the course of a business in relation to which a regulatory authority exercises regulatory functions and which is in a country listed by the Cayman Islands Anti-Money Laundering Steering Committee ("Equivalent Jurisdiction") or is a majority-owned subsidiary of such an applicant; or

(iii) the applicant is a central or local government organisation, statutory body or agency of government in the Cayman Islands or an Equivalent Jurisdiction; or

(iv) the applicant is a company that is listed on a recognised stock exchange and subject to disclosure requirements which impose requirements to ensure adequate transparency of beneficial ownership, or is a majority-owned subsidiary of such a company; or

(v) the applicant is a pension fund for a professional association, trade union or is acting on behalf of employees of an entity referred to in sub-paragraphs (i) to (iv); or

(vi) the application is made through an intermediary which falls within one of sub-paragraphs (i) to (v). In this situation the Company may rely on a written assurance from the intermediary which confirms (i) that the requisite identification and verification procedures on the applicant for business and its beneficial owners have been carried out; (ii) the nature and intended purpose of the business relationship; (iii) that the intermediary has identified the source of funds of the applicant for business; and (iv) that the intermediary shall make available copies of any identification and verification data or information and relevant documents.

(h) Alternatively, if the subscription payment is remitted from an account (or joint account) held in the applicant's name at a bank in the Cayman Islands or a bank regulated in an Equivalent Jurisdiction, a detailed verification might not be required at the time of subscription. In this situation the Company may require evidence identifying the branch or office of the bank from which the monies have been transferred, verify that the account is in the name of the applicant and retain a written record of such details. However, a detailed verification will need to be carried out prior to any redemption.

(i) The Company and the Investment Advisor reserve the right to request such information as is necessary to verify the identity of an applicant. In the event of delay or failure by the applicant to produce any information required for verification purposes, the Investment Advisor will refuse to accept the application and the subscription monies relating thereto.

(j) If any person who is resident in the Cayman Islands (including the Investment Advisor) has a suspicion that a payment to the Company (by way of subscription or otherwise) contains the proceeds of criminal conduct that person is required to report such suspicion pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Law (2018 Revision).

(k) By subscribing, applicants consent to the disclosure by the Company and the Investment Advisor of any information about them to regulators and others upon request in connection with money laundering and similar matters both in the Cayman Islands and in other jurisdictions.

57

Copy Number:     

(l) The Company will comply with applicable US anti-money laundering regulations. In addition, many jurisdictions are in the process of changing or creating anti-money laundering, embargo and trade sanctions, or similar laws, regulations, requirements (whether or not with force of law) or regulatory policies and many financial intermediaries are in the process of changing or creating responsive disclosure and compliance policies (collectively Requirements) and the Company could be requested or required to obtain certain assurances from applicants subscribing for shares, disclose information pertaining to them to governmental, regulatory or other authorities or to financial intermediaries or engage in due diligence or take other related actions in the future. It is the Company policy to comply with the Requirements to which it is or may become subject to and to interpret them broadly in favour of disclosure. Each applicant will be required to agree in the Subscription Agreement, and will be deemed to have agreed by reason of owning any Participating Shares, that it will provide additional information or take such other actions as may be necessary or advisable for the Company (in the sole judgment of the Company and/or Investment Advisor) to comply with any Requirements, related legal process or appropriate requests (whether formal or informal) or otherwise. Each applicant by executing the Subscription Agreement consents, and by owning any Participating Shares is deemed to have consented, to disclosure by the Company and its agents to relevant third parties of information pertaining to it in respect of the Requirements or information requests related thereto. Failure to honour any such request may result in redemption by the Company or a forced sale to another investor of such applicant's shares.

14.3 Beneficial Ownership Regime

(a) The Company falls within the scope of the primary obligations under Part XVIIA of the Companies Law (Beneficial Ownership Regime) and is therefore subject to the requirements under Part XVIIA of the Companies Law relating to beneficial ownership registers. However, under section 245 of the Companies Law, certain corporate entities are exempt from the Part XVIIA requirements to establish and maintain a beneficial ownership register.

(b) Unless certain exemption is applied to the Company pursuant to section 245 of the Companies Law, the Shareholders will be required to provide certain information and particulars to the Company as reasonably determined by the Directors. The Company will also be required from time to time to provide, on request, certain particulars to other Cayman Islands entities which are within the scope of the Beneficial Ownership Regime and which are therefore required to maintain beneficial ownership registers under the Beneficial Ownership Regime. It is anticipated that such particulars will generally be limited to the identity and certain related particulars of (i) any person holding (or controlling through a joint arrangement) a majority of the voting rights in respect of the Company; (ii) any person who is a member of the Company and who has the right to appoint and remove a majority of the board of directors of the Company; and (iii) any person who has the right to exercise, or actually exercises, dominant direct influence or control over the Company.

14.4 Sanctions

(a) The Company is subject to laws that restrict it from dealing with entities, individuals, organisations and/or investments which are subject to applicable sanctions regimes.

(b) Accordingly, the Company will require the subscribers to represent and warrant, on a continuing basis, that it is not, and that to the best of its knowledge or belief its beneficial owners, controllers or authorised persons (Related Persons) (if any) are not: (i) named on any list of sanctioned entities or individuals maintained by the US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) or pursuant to European Union (EU) and/or United Kingdom (UK) Regulations (as the latter are extended to the Cayman Islands by Statutory Instrument), (ii) operationally based or domiciled in a country or territory in relation to which sanctions imposed by the United Nations, OFAC, the EU and/or the UK apply, or (iii) otherwise subject to sanctions imposed by the United Nations, OFAC, the EU or the UK (including as the latter are extended to the Cayman Islands by Statutory Instrument) (collectively, a Sanctions Subject).

58

Copy Number:     

(c) Where the subscriber or a Related Person is or becomes a Sanctions Subject, the Company may be required immediately and without notice to the subscriber to cease any further dealings with the subscriber and/or the subscriber's interest in the Company until the subscriber ceases to be a Sanctions Subject, or a licence is obtained under applicable law to continue such dealings (a Sanctioned Persons Event). Neither the Company, the Directors, the Investment Advisor and the Administrator shall have any liability whatsoever for any liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and/or losses (including but not limited to any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal costs and all other professional costs and expenses) incurred by the subscriber as a result of a Sanctioned Persons Event.

(d) In addition, should any investment made on behalf of the Company subsequently become subject to applicable sanctions, the Company may immediately and without notice to the subscriber cease any further dealings with that investment until the applicable sanctions are lifted or a license is obtained under applicable law to continue such dealings.

14.5 Requests for information

The Company, or any of its respective directors or agents domiciled in the Cayman Islands, may be compelled to provide information, subject to a request for information made by a regulatory or governmental authority or agency under applicable law; for example by CIMA, either for itself or for a recognised overseas regulatory authority, or by the Tax Information Authority, under the Tax Information Authority Law (as amended) and associated regulations, agreements, arrangements and memoranda of understanding. Disclosure of confidential information under such laws shall not be regarded as a breach of any duty of confidentiality and, in certain circumstances, the Company, or any of its respective directors or agents, may be prohibited from disclosing that the request has been made.

18. SIDE LETTERS

The Portfolio may from time to time enter into side letters with certain prospective or existing Shareholders whereby such Shareholders may be subject to terms and conditions that are more advantageous and/or different rights or benefits to those set out in this Memorandum.

A side letter with a prospective or existing Shareholder may, for example give that Shareholder some special or advantageous rights and interest, among others:

(a) special rights to make future investments in the Portfolio, other investment vehicles or managed accounts;

(b) rights to receive reports from the Portfolio on a more frequent basis or that include information not provided to other Shareholders (including, without limitation, more detailed information regarding portfolio positions);

(c) rights to approve certain reserved matters in the operation and management of the Company;

(d) a reduction or rebate in fees to be paid by the Shareholder, and

(e) such other rights as may be negotiated by the Company and that Shareholder.

As a result of such side letters, subsequent Classes of participating shares in the Company may be issued by the Directors without the prior knowledge or approval of the existing Shareholder(s) to those who enjoy additional rights and benefits pursuant to the side letter which other Shareholders may not receive.

In certain instances, the exercise of the rights and benefits provided in any side letter may adversely impact the ability of existing Shareholders to exercise their own rights. By subscribing for Participating Shares, each Shareholder agrees that the Directors will not be required to notify them (or any or all of the other existing Shareholders) of either (i) any such side letters entered into at any time before the Shareholder subscribes for the Participating Shares or at any later date, or (ii) any of the rights and/or terms or contents of any side letter.

In addition, each Shareholder agrees that the Directors are not required to offer such additional and/or different rights and/or terms to any or all of the other Shareholders.

The Directors may cause the Company to enter into such side letters with any person as the Directors may, subject to and in consistence with their legal obligations, determine in their sole and absolute discretion to the extent permitted by any applicable laws at any time. By subscribing for Participating Shares, each Shareholder agrees that it will have no recourse against the Directors personally, the Company, the Investment Manager and/or any of their Affiliates as a consequence of certain Shareholders receiving additional and/or different rights and/or terms set out in any side letters.

19.1 The Company

(a) The Company is an exempted company incorporated with limited liability and registered as a segregated portfolio company under the Companies Law. Its constitution is defined in the Articles. The Company’s objects, as set out in its memorandum of association, are unrestricted and so include the carrying on of the business of an investment company.

(b) All Shareholders are entitled to the benefit of, are bound by and are deemed to have notice of, the memorandum of association and articles of association of the Company. The liability of a Shareholder is limited to the amount, if any, unpaid on its Participating Shares.

HPJ Parent Limited

Re: Equity Commitment Letter

Ladies and Gentlemen:

It is contemplated that pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 28, 2019 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among, Highpower International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), HPJ Parent Limited, a newly-formed exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Parent”), and HPJ Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving company (the “Merger”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

It is contemplated that pursuant to that certain Equity Commitment Letter (the “EIC Equity Commitment Letter”) issued by Essence International Capital Limited (“Essence International Capital”) to Parent on June 28, 2019, Essence International Capital has committed to contribute, as an equity contribution to Parent, an aggregate amount equal to US$51,136,733.00 to fund the transactions as contemplated under the Merger Agreement, provided that if Essence International Advanced Products and Solutions SPC – Essence Growth Company Fund SP, a segregated portfolio of Essence International Advanced Products and Solutions SPC, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability and registered as a segregated portfolio company under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Sponsor”) has irrevocably contributed as an equity contribution to Parent any proceeds to fund the transactions as contemplated under the Merger Agreement, Essence International Capital’s equity contribution will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the exact amount of such equity contribution by the Sponsor.

The Sponsor is pleased to offer this commitment, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, to purchase equity interests in Parent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this commitment shall not be construed as an amendment, waiver or modification of any provision of the EIC Equity Commitment (including all third party beneficiary rights of the Company thereunder), which shall remain in full force and effect.

1.Commitment. The Sponsor hereby agrees to contribute, as an equity contribution to Parent, an aggregate amount equal to US$45,136,733.00 (the “Contribution”), subject to the terms and conditions hereof. The proceeds of the Contribution shall be used by Parent, to the extent necessary, to (i) fund (or cause to be funded) a portion of the Exchange Fund and any other amounts required to be paid by Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to the Merger Agreement and (ii) pay (or cause to be paid through Parent or Merger Sub) related fees and expenses or reimbursements of expenses (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include the Parent Termination Fee or any Guaranteed Obligations with respect to the Parent Termination Fee that may become payable pursuant to the Limited Guarantee given by the Sponsor), in each case, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of, and subject to the conditions of, the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this letter agreement, the aggregate amount of liability of the Sponsor under this letter agreement shall at no time exceed the aggregate amount of the Contribution less any portion of the Contribution that has been funded in accordance with the terms hereof.

2.Closing Conditions. The Sponsor’s obligation to make the Contribution pursuant to this letter agreement is subject to the satisfaction, prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing, of the following conditions: (a) the satisfaction or waiver at the Closing of all conditions precedent to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement set forth in Article VIII thereof (in each case, other than any conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the prior or substantially concurrent satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) and (b) the substantially contemporaneous consummation of the Closing.

3.Enforcement. This letter agreement may only be enforced (i) by Parent or (ii), to the extent that the Company has obtained an order of specific performance pursuant to, and subject to the conditions in, Section 10.06 of the Merger Agreement, by the Company, as a third party beneficiary of the rights granted to Parent hereby, to seek specific performance of the Sponsor’s obligations hereunder. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this letter agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any damages.

4.Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this letter agreement, by its acceptance hereof, Parent acknowledges and agrees that (a) notwithstanding that the Sponsor may be a limited liability entity, no recourse hereunder or under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith may be had against any Affiliate of the Sponsor, any former, current or future director, officer, employee or agent of the Sponsor or of its Affiliates, any former, current or future holder of any equity interests or securities of the Sponsor (whether such holder is a limited or general partner, member, manager, stockholder or otherwise), any former, current or future assignee of the Sponsor or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder, Affiliate, controlling person, representative or assignee of any of the foregoing (each such person or entity, a “Related Person”), whether by the enforcement of any judgment or assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law, and (b) no personal liability whatsoever will attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by Related Persons in connection with this letter agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or by their creation.

-2-

5.Expiration. All obligations under this letter agreement shall expire and terminate automatically and immediately upon the earliest to occur of (a) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (b) the Closing (at which time the Contribution shall be discharged), (c) the making of the Contribution by the Sponsor or its permitted assigns and, (d) following the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Company or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim against (i) the Sponsor under the Limited Guarantee or (ii) the Sponsor or any Related Person of the Sponsor (other than Parent and Merger Sub), in each case, in connection with the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, and (e) the End Date; provided that, in the event a claim by the Company or any of its Affiliates under Section 3 of this letter agreement or any claim seeking an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedy against Parent or Merger Sub under Section 10.06 of the Merger Agreement is then pending, this letter agreement shall only terminate upon the final, non-appealable resolution of such action and satisfaction by Sponsor of any obligations finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be owed by Sponsor in connection with this letter agreement.

6.No Assignment. Neither this letter agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assignable without the prior written consent of the Sponsor (in the case of an assignment by Parent) or Parent (in the case of an assignment by the Sponsor), and, in either case, the Company, except that, without the prior written consent of Parent or the Company, the rights, interests or obligations under this letter agreement may be assigned and/or delegated, in whole or in part, by Sponsor to one or more of its Affiliates or to one or more private equity funds sponsored or managed by any such Affiliate; provided that no such assignment shall relieve the undersigned of its obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment of this commitment in contravention of this Section 6 shall be void.

7.No Other Beneficiaries. Except for the third party beneficiary rights provided to the Company under Sections 3, 6 and 15 of this letter agreement, (a) this letter agreement shall be binding on the Sponsor solely for the benefit of Parent and (b) nothing set forth in this letter agreement is intended to or shall confer upon or give to any Person other than Parent any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of, or any rights to enforce or cause Parent to enforce, the Contribution or any provisions of this letter agreement; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this letter agreement, any Related Person shall be a third party beneficiary of the provisions set forth herein that are for the benefit of any Related Person, and all such provisions shall survive any termination of this letter agreement indefinitely. Without limiting the foregoing, neither Parent’s, Merger Sub’s nor the Company’s creditors shall have the right to enforce this letter agreement or to cause Parent to enforce this letter agreement.

8.Representations and Warranties. The Sponsor hereby represents and warrants that: (a) it has all power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this letter agreement; (b) the execution, delivery and performance of this letter agreement by the Sponsor has been duly and validly authorized and approved by all necessary action, and no other proceedings or actions on the part of the Sponsor are necessary therefor; (c) this letter agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by it and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of it, enforceable against the Sponsor in accordance with its terms (subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law)); (d) the execution, delivery and performance by the Sponsor of this letter agreement do not and will not violate the organizational documents of the Sponsor or any applicable Law or conflict with any material agreement binding on the Sponsor; (e) the Sponsor has uncalled and unrestricted capital commitments or otherwise has available funds required to fund the Contribution and all of the Sponsor’s other unfunded contractually binding commitments and capital calls that are currently outstanding; and (f) all consents, approvals, authorizations, permits of, filings with and notifications to, any Governmental Entity necessary for the due execution, delivery and performance of this letter agreement by the Sponsor have been obtained or made and all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this letter agreement.

Any term or provision of this letter agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the sole extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remainder of such term or provision or the remaining terms and provisions of this letter agreement in any jurisdiction and, if any provision of this letter agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable; provided that this letter agreement may not be enforced without giving effect to the provisions of this Agreement. No party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto shall cause its respective Affiliates not to assert, that this letter agreement or any part hereof is invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

10.Governing Law.

11.Jurisdiction. In the event any dispute arises among the parties hereto out of or in relation to this letter agreement, including any dispute regarding its breach, termination or validity, the parties shall attempt in the first instance to resolve such dispute through friendly consultations.

12.Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
