This Addendum also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of the Grant Date. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the information herewith are for reference only and does not constitute any legal, tax or other advise and the Company strongly recommends that the Participant not rely on the information in this Addendum as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Participant’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that Performance Shares vest or the Participant sells Share acquired at vesting of the Performance Shares under the Plan.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of a particular result. Accordingly, the Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant’s country may apply to his or her situation.

Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently residing and/or working or transfers residency after the Grant Date, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Participant in the same manner.

The following provisions apply only to the Participant if based/residing in the Mainland of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), unless otherwise determined by the Company or required by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”):

Settlement and Delivery of Shares. This provision supplements Sections 3 of the Performance Share Agreement:

The settlement of the Performance Shares is conditioned on the completion of the initial registration of the Plan with SAFE and the continued effectiveness of such registration based on necessary follow-up filings with SAFE (the “SAFE Registration”). If it is unable to complete or maintain the SAFE Registration for any reason, no Shares subject to the Performance Shares shall be issued.

Mandatory Sale of Shares upon Termination of Service. To ensure compliance with SAFE regulations, and notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement, the Participant agrees that any Shares issued upon settlement of the Performance Shares and held by the Participant at the time of his or her termination of service must be sold immediately upon such termination of service. Any Share that is not sold by Participant will be sold on his or her behalf as soon as practicable after Participant’s termination of service and in no event more than six months after his or her termination of service, pursuant to this authorization (i) to the Company to instruct its designated broker to sell such Shares and (ii) to the designated broker to assist with the sale of such Shares.

Broker Account. Any Shares issued to the Participant upon settlement of the Performance Shares must be maintained in an account with a Plan administrator as may be designated by the Company until the Shares are sold through that broker.

Repatriation. Pursuant to SAFE regulations in China, when the Shares acquired at the settlement of Performance Shares are sold, whether immediately or thereafter, including on the Participant’s behalf after termination of his or her service, the Participant will be required to immediately repatriate, or cause the Company or any Subsidiary or the Employer to repatriate, the cash proceeds from the sale of the Shares and any cash dividends paid on such Shares to China within six months from receipt of such cash proceeds. The Participant further understands that, under local law, such repatriation of his or her cash proceeds will need to be effectuated through a special exchange control account established in China by the Company or any Subsidiary or the Employer, and the Participant hereby consents and agrees that any of such cash proceeds will be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to the Participant. Unless the Company in its sole discretion decides otherwise, the proceeds will be paid to the Participant in local currency. The Company is under no obligation to secure any exchange conversion rate, and the Company may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions in China. The Participant agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the cash proceeds in foreign currency are payable to the Participant (from the sale of the Shares or otherwise) and the time the cash proceeds in local currency are distributed through such special exchange control account.

Other. The Participant further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future in order to facilitate compliance with SAFE requirements and to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be reasonably requested by the Company or its designated broker to effectuate any of the remittances, transfers, conversions or other processes affecting the proceeds.

Foreign Asset and Account Reporting. The Participant may be required to report to SAFE all details of their foreign financial assets and liabilities, as well as details of any economic transactions conducted with non-PRC residents. The Participant should consult with his or her personal advisor in order to ensure compliance with applicable reporting requirements.
