As of the date of filing, in the case of Company SEC Documents filed pursuant to the Exchange Act (and to the extent such Company SEC Documents were amended, then as of the date of filing of such amendment), and as of the date of effectiveness in the case of Company SEC Documents filed pursuant to the Securities Act (and to the extent such Company SEC Documents were amended, then as of the date of effectiveness of such amendment), the Company SEC Documents (i) complied as to form in all material respects with either the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, each as in effect on the date so filed or effective and (ii) did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or incorporated by reference therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of its filing date or effective date (as applicable).
(b)  Each of the consolidated financial statements (including, in each case, any notes thereto) contained in or incorporated by reference into the Company SEC Documents was prepared in accordance with GAAP (except, in the case of the unaudited
13

statements, as permitted by the SEC) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and each accurately and fairly presents, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group Companies as at the respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the respective periods indicated therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end adjustments and to any other adjustments described therein, the effect of which, individually or in the aggregate, is not material, and to the exclusion of certain notes in accordance with the rules of the SEC relating to unaudited financial statements), in each case in accordance with GAAP except to the extent that such information has been amended or superseded by later Company SEC Documents filed prior to the date hereof.

Section 1350 (Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) with respect to any Company SEC Document. The “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) established and maintained by the Company are reasonably designed to ensure that all material information concerning the Group Companies required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and related forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer (or persons performing similar functions), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Since January 1, 2018, neither the Company nor, to the Company’s knowledge, its independent registered public accounting firm has identified or been made aware of any “significant deficiencies” or “material weaknesses” (as defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board) in the design or operation of the internal controls and procedures of the Company that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the ability of the Company to record, process, summarize and report financial data, in each case, which has not been subsequently remediated. Since the date of the Company’s most recently filed annual report under the Exchange Act, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. As
14

used in this Section 3.7, the term “file” shall be broadly construed to include any manner in which a document or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC.
(e)  The Group Companies maintain a system of “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) sufficient to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
(f)  The Company is in compliance, in all material respects, with the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of the NYSE, subject to any “home country” exemption from such rules and regulations available to a “foreign private issuer” (as defined under the Exchange Act and under the relevant rules and regulations of the NYSE).
3.8   Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Shares under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received as of the date hereof any notification that the SEC is contemplating terminating such registration. The Common Shares are listed on the NYSE and the Company has not received any written notice from the NYSE to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the maintenance requirements of such exchange.
3.9   Investment Company. The Company is not and, after giving effect to the issue and sale of the Shares, the consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Transaction Documents and the application of the proceeds from the issue and sale of the Shares, will not be an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Except for any registration rights with respect to the Shares granted by the Company to the Investor in the Transaction Documents and that certain Expenses Reimbursement Agreement dated as of November 16, 2018 by and between the Company and Kaisa Group Holdings Limited (as such agreement may be amended from time to time), the Company has not granted any registration rights with respect to any securities of the Company to any Person.
3.11  Absence of Litigation.

3.12  Brokers. Except for as disclosed to the Investor prior to the Closing, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates nor any of its officers or directors on behalf of the Company or such Affiliate has employed any financial advisor, broker or finder or incurred any liability for any financial advisory, broker’s fees, commissions or finder’s fees in connection with any of the Transactions.

3.13       No Other Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Article 3, none of the Company, any of its Affiliates or any other Person on behalf of the Company makes any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Shares or the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses or with respect to any other information provided, or made available, to the Investor or its Affiliates or Representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including any financial projections or forward-looking financial documents), including the accuracy or completeness thereof.

(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.5(a), until the Sunset Date, in the event that the Company proposes to issue new Voting Securities, the Investor shall have the right to purchase a number of shares of Voting Securities equal to the product of (i) the total number or amount of shares of new Voting Securities which the Company proposes to issue at such time and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares which the Purchaser owns at such time, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares of the Company then outstanding (prior to the issuance of new Voting Securities), in each case, in accordance with Section 5.5(d). The rights given by the Company under this Section 5.5(c) shall terminate if unexercised within ten (10) days after receipt of the Notice of Issuance referred to in paragraph (d) below, provided that any termination of such rights for a particular issuance shall not affect the right of the Investor to exercise such rights for any future issuance.
(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.5(a), until the Sunset Date, in the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of new Voting Securities, it shall give written notice (a “Notice of Issuance”) of its intention to the Investor, describing all material terms of the new Voting Securities, the price and all material terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such new Voting Securities. The Purchaser shall have ten (10) days from the date of the Notice of Issuance to agree to purchase its pro rata share of such new Voting Securities (as determined pursuant to paragraph (c) above) either (i) from the Company for the same consideration and otherwise upon the terms specified in the Notice of Issuance or (ii) in the open market, in each case, by giving written notice to the Company, and stating therein the quantity of new Voting Securities to be purchased by the Purchaser. Upon the expiry of such ten (10) day period, if the Purchaser has not provided such written notice to the Company it shall be deemed to have refused to participate in the offering of new Voting Securities and the Company may issue such new Voting Securities to any other Person, as determined by the Board.

5.6          Waiver of Corporate Opportunity. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company hereby agrees that the Exempted Persons shall not have any obligation to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, renounces any expectancy of the Company and its Subsidiaries in any Exempted Persons offering the Company or its Subsidiaries an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities that are from time to time available to the Exempted Persons; provided, however, the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company or its Subsidiaries from participating in any such business opportunities. The Company hereby further agrees that, each Exempted Person shall have no duty to communicate or offer such business opportunity to the Company (and that there shall be no restriction on the Exempted Persons using the general knowledge and understanding of the Company and the industry in which the Company operates that it has gained as an Exempted Person in considering and pursuing such opportunities or in making investment, voting, monitoring, governance or other decisions relating to other entities or securities) and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, shall not be liable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or shareholders for breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a director or officer or otherwise, solely by reason of the fact that such Exempted Person pursues or acquires such business opportunity, directs such business opportunity to another person or fails to present such business opportunity, or information regarding such business opportunity, to the Company or its Subsidiaries, or uses such knowledge and understanding in the manner described herein. The parties specifically agree that each Exempted Person is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 5.6 and is entitled to rely upon and enforce the rights and obligations granted herein. “Exempted Person” shall mean the Investor Parties, their respective Affiliates and each of their respective partners, principals, directors, officers, members, managers, managing directors, operating partners and/or employees, as applicable. In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing, a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to belong to the Company if it is a business opportunity that the Company is not financially able or contractually permitted or legally able to undertake, or that is, from its nature, not in the line of the Company’s business or is of no practical advantage to it or that is one in which the Company has no interest or reasonable expectancy.
5.7          Restriction on Short Sale. During the period commencing on the Closing and ending on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing, no Investor Entity shall enter into a short sale of the Equity Securities of the Company.
ARTICLE 6
GENERAL PROVISIONS
6.1          Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the Parties.
6.2    Waiver. The Investor or the Company may (a) waive any breach of the representations and warranties of the other Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or (b) waive compliance by the other Party with any of the agreements or covenants contained herein. Any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed
24

by the Party or Parties to be bound thereby, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.
6.3          Survival. The representations and warranties in this Agreement shall survive Closing in accordance with their terms for a period of eighteen (18) months. The covenants and agreements which contemplate satisfaction prior to the Closing shall not survive the Closing. This Section 6.3 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the Parties which by its terms contemplates performance after the Closing, which shall survive to the extent expressly provided for herein.
6.4          Fees and Expenses. All Expenses incurred by the Parties shall be borne solely and entirely by the Party which has incurred the same.
6.5     Notice Information. Any notices or other communications required or permitted under, or otherwise given in connection with, this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) when delivered or sent if delivered in Person or sent by facsimile transmission (provided confirmation of facsimile transmission is obtained); provided that any notice received by facsimile transmission or otherwise at the addressee’s location on any Business Day after 5:00 p.m. (addressee’s local time) shall be deemed to have been received at 9:00 a.m. (addressee’s local time) on the next Business Day, (b) on the fifth Business Day after dispatch by registered or certified mail (provided, that such form of notice may only be used if dispatched from the country in which the recipient is located), (c) on the next Business Day if transmitted by national or international overnight courier or (d) on the date delivered if sent by email (provided confirmation of email receipt is obtained), in each case, to the addresses set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (or to such other Persons or addressees as may be designated in writing by the Party to receive such notice).
6.6          Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
6.7   Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Exhibits and the Company Disclosure Schedule, the other Transaction Documents and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto) constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or therein, are not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder.
25

6.8         Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any Party, in whole or in part (whether by operation of law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void. This Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
6.9          No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
6.10   Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.

(a)        This Agreement and all claims and causes of action arising in connection herewith shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of Hong Kong, without regard to Laws that may be applicable under conflicts of laws principles (whether of Hong Kong or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong.
(b)         Any dispute, claim, controversy or difference arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any question regarding its existence, validity, interpretation, performance or termination or any dispute regarding any non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with it (a “Dispute”), shall be determined by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) in accordance with the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules then in effect. The award may be entered in any Court having competent jurisdiction thereof.
(c)         There shall be three (3) arbitrators. The Parties agree that one arbitrator shall be designated by the claimant side of any arbitration (whether there are one or more claimants) and one arbitrator shall be designated by the respondent side of any arbitration (whether there are one or more respondents). Such arbitrators shall be designated within twenty (20) days of receipt by respondent (or respondents as the case may be) of the notice of arbitration; the third, presiding, arbitrator shall be designated by agreement of the two (2) party-appointed arbitrators within fourteen (14) days of the selection of the party-appointed arbitrators.
(d)          The seat or place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The language of the arbitration shall be English.
(e)         This agreement to arbitrate shall be binding upon the Parties, their successor and assigns. The arbitrators shall have no authority to award consequential, special or punitive damages. The arbitrators shall award to the prevailing party, if any, as determined by the arbitrators, its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
26

(f)         Except as may be required by Law, no Party may disclose the existence, content (including all submissions made to the arbitral tribunal and the transcript of any proceedings) or any and all orders, decisions, and awards issued by the arbitral tribunal without the prior written consent of the other Parties, unless necessary to protect or pursue a legal right, including the right to seek annulment, recognition, and/or enforcement of any award.
(g)   This agreement to arbitrate is governed by the Laws of Hong Kong.

6.11      Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, including by facsimile or other electronic transmission each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each Party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party. Until and unless each Party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party, this Agreement shall have no effect and no Party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic transmission in .PDF format or by facsimile shall be sufficient to bind the Parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For the purposes of section 8(1) of the Electronic Transactions Act, 2001 of the British Virgin Islands, each Party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to receiving the electronic signature of any other Party to this Agreement that uses an electronic signature to execute this Agreement. For the purposes of this Section 6.11, “electronic signature” shall be construed so as to include the electronic signature of each witness, if any, of an electronic signature used to execute this Agreement.
6.12      Specific Performance. The Parties agree that if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at Law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and accordingly, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6.12, (a) the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specific performance of the terms hereof, (b) the Parties waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any specific performance or injunctive relief and (c) the Parties will waive, in any action for specific performance, the defense of adequacy of a remedy at Law. The Company’s or the Investor’s pursuit of specific performance at any time will not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other right or remedy to which such Party may be entitled.
6.13     Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the Transactions may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as Parties and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such named Party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or other Representative of any Party, or Affiliate of any of the foregoing (excluding the Company and the Investor), shall have any Liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or Liabilities of the
27

Company or the Investor under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (whether for indemnification or otherwise) or of or for any claim based on, arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the Transactions.
