Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Closing, the Company shall issue and sell to the Subscriber the Convertible Preferred Shares with the following features:

(a) Dividend.

(i) the dividend payable in respect of such shares shall be calculated at an annual rate equal to the sum of (A) the daily average of the six-month LIBOR for United States Dollars effective during the six months prior to the payment of the dividend for the current period, plus (B) 3.7%. To the extent that the Company has any distributable profit, it shall have the discretion to pay such dividend and the relevant interest, which payment shall be made in United States Dollars in cash. And the Subscriber shall be entitled to receive two payments of the preferred dividend each year, one of which shall be made prior to June 30 and the other prior to December 31 that year; provided that, the dividend for the first year shall be paid on a one-time basis prior to December 31 of that year. The Company shall have the discretion to defer the payment of any dividend in light of the actual situation.

Where the payment of any dividend is so deferred, the Company shall have such dividend accrued on a yearly basis and pay compounded interest on any such dividend that has accrued but remains unpaid at an interest rate equal to the sum of (A) the daily average of the six-month LIBOR for United States Dollars effective during the six months prior to the payment of the dividend for the current period, plus (B) 3.7%. Any deferred payment of any dividend shall not constitute a default. Any payment of any dividend shall be entered into the financial statements of the Company by appropriate accounting method.

(ii) Where after the eighth (8^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Subscriber hasn’t converted the Subscription Shares into the Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section 2.06 below, and none of the Company, the Parentco or its Affiliates has exercised its redemption or repurchase right with respect to the Subscription Shares, starting from the first dividend payment date after the eighth (8^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the rate of dividend payable in respect of the Subscription Shares shall be adjusted upward to an annual rate equal to the sum of (A) the daily average of the six-month LIBOR for United States Dollars effective during the six months prior to the payment of the dividend for the current period, plus (B) 5%, and thereafter on each anniversary of the said first dividend payment date, shall increase automatically by one percentage (1%) point.

(iii) From and after the Closing Date, without consent of the Subscriber, the Company may not provide any guarantee for the benefit of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, nor may it conduct any investment other than those in SMIC. Where there occurs any event in violation of the provision set forth in the preceding sentence, the Company shall make best efforts to take remedial measures. Should such violation fail to be cured one month after the occurrence thereof, the Subscriber shall have the right to demand that the rate of dividend in respect of the Convertible Preferred Shares be raised by three percentage (3%) points.

(iv) From and after the Closing Date, where the Company fails to pay the Subscriber in full any dividend payable in respect of the Convertible Preferred Shares, including any dividend that has accrued but remains unpaid as a result of deferred payment, the Company may not distribute any dividend on any Ordinary Shares or allow the reduction of its share capital.

(v) For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the eighth (8^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, any dividend that has accrued but remains unpaid shall be calculated on a compounded basis at an annual interest rate equal to the sum of (A) the daily average of the six-month LIBOR for United States Dollars effective during the six months prior to the payment of the dividend for the current period, plus (B) 3.7%; and after the eighth (8^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, any dividend that newly accrues and remains unpaid shall be calculated on a compounded basis at the annual dividend rate effective for the year in which the dividend arises as set forth in Section 2.05(a).

(b) Repurchase. After the second (2^nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, each of the Company, the Parentco or any of its Affiliates shall have the right to elect to repurchase from the Subscriber all or any part of the Convertible Preferred Shares at a price equal to the sum of (A) the price of such Convertible Preferred Shares calculated at US$1.00 per share, plus (B) any dividend payable to the Subscriber in respect of such Convertible Preferred Shares that has accrued but remains unpaid pursuant to Section 2.05(a) above, excluding any dividend that has been paid by the Company to the Subscriber by then; and the Parties may separately negotiate on any the repurchase when the Company’s budget is ready for use. For the avoidance of doubt, after the Parentco or any of its Affiliates repurchases the Subscription Shares pursuant to this Section 2.05(b), the Company shall not be required to pay any further dividend in respect of any Subscription Share that is payable but remains unpaid by then under Section 2.05(a). Any price for any such repurchase shall be paid in United States Dollars in cash, and any payment of the same shall be entered into the financial statements of the Company by appropriate accounting method.

(c) Liquidation Procedures. In the event that the Company becomes bankrupt, the repayment with respect to the Convertible Preferred Shares held by the Subscriber shall be in preference over any Ordinary Shares in and any shareholder loans provided to the Company.

(d) Any and all of the amounts payable to the Subscriber by the Company or the Parentco under Section 2.05(a) or 2.05(b) shall be denominated and paid in United States Dollars.

Section 2.06 Share Conversion Arrangements

(a) As long as the Parentco remains the controlling shareholder of the Company and Research Institute of Telecommunications Technology Co., Ltd. remains the de facto controlling person of the Parentco, the Subscriber shall have the right to convert any of its Convertible Preferred Shares into the Ordinary Shares at its sole discretion (the “Share Conversion”); provided that, such right may be exercised only once.

(b) The Parties agree that after the second (2^nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Subscriber shall have the right to elect to convert all of its Convertible Preferred Shares into the Ordinary Shares on a one-time basis. Prior to the conversion of the Subscriber’s Convertible Preferred Shares into the Ordinary Shares, the Company may not distribute any dividend to any of its shareholders in respect of any Ordinary Shares. For the purpose of the Share Conversion by the Subscriber, the Subscriber’s shareholding in the Company upon the Share Conversion shall be determined on the basis of the market value of the Company as appraised by taking December 31, 2017 as the Reference Date.

Based on the Appraisal Report of the Value of All the Shareholders’ Equity Involved in the Proposed Capital Increase and Share Capital Expansion of Datang Holdings (Hongkong) Investment Company Limited issued by Shanghai Orient Certified Appraisal Co., Ltd.

(Dong Zhou Ping Bao Zi [2018 No. 0142]), all of the shareholders’ equity in the Company was RMB7,730,801,032.67 by taking December 31, 2017 as the reference date (the “Reference Date”) (in words: Seven Billion Seven Hundred and Thirty Million, Eight Hundred and One Thousand, and Thirty-Two Point Sixty Seventy Renminbi Yuan ) (equivalent to US$1,183,128,926.67 (in words: One Billion One Hundred and Eighty-Three Million, One Hundred and Twenty-Eight Thousand, Nine Hundred and Twenty-Six Point Sixty-Seven United States Dollars, if converted to United States Dollars at the exchange rate effective on the Reference Date which was US$1.00 = RMB6.5342). Specifically, the Subscriber’s shareholding in the Company as discussed above shall be calculated by using the following formula:

Subscriber’s shareholding in the Company upon the Share Conversion = US$284,000,000/[US$284,000,000+ US$1,183,128,926.67]=19.357535%

After the Subscriber becomes a holder of Ordinary Shares following the Share Conversion, the old and the new shareholders of the Company shall enjoy the shareholders’ interests in the Company and any undistributed profit of the Company as at the Closing Date and in the future in proportion to their respective shareholding in the Company.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, where after the Company issues a notice of redemption or repurchase pursuant to Section 2.05(b), the Subscriber conducts the Share Conversion within sixty (60) Business Days as of the date of such notice, the Subscriber’s Share Conversion right shall have priority over the redemption or repurchase right of the Company, the Parentco and any of its Affiliates.

(d) At the Share Conversion, the Subscriber shall return to the Company any and all of the preferred dividends received by it from the Company during the period from the Closing Date to the date of the Share Conversion, together with the payment of the cost of capital during the period from the date of first payment of dividend to the date of Share Conversion at an annual rate equal to the sum of (A) the daily average of the six-month LIBOR for United States Dollars effective during the six months prior to the payment of the dividend for the current period, plus (B) 3.7%.

(e) The Parties shall confirm the consummation of the Share Conversion upon completion of the capital verification and business registration or similar formalities required by Hong Kong Laws in respect of the Share Conversion.

(f) The Subscriber’s shareholding in the Company after the Share Conversion may not be higher than the aggregate shareholding of the Parentco and its Affiliates in the Company.

Section 2.07 Assets

(a) From and after the Closing Date, the number of the shares held by the Company in SMIC may not be less than Three Hundred and Forty million (340,000,000) Shares.

(b) From and after the Closing Date, no pledge may be created or granted over any of the said 340,000,000 shares held by the Company in SMIC under Section 2.07(a).

(c) Where after the eighth (8^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Subscriber hasn’t converted its Subscription Shares into the Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section 2.06 above, and none of the Company, the Parentco or its Affiliates has exercised its redemption or repurchase right with respect to such Subscription Shares pursuant to Section 2.05(b), the Subscriber shall have the right to demand that the Company dispose of the said 340,000,000 shares in SMIC set forth in Section 2.07(a), in which case, the Company shall following its receipt of such notice, consummate such disposal within the time limit (at least one month) set forth in the notice of demand from the Subscriber. Any and all of the proceeds in cash received from such disposal shall be deposited into a bank account jointly administered by the Company and the Subscriber.

(d) The jointly administered bank account agreed in Section 2.07(c) shall be under the joint administration of the Company and the Subscriber, and any payment therefrom shall require the joint signature of the Company and the Subscriber. For the avoidance of doubt, one of the specimen signatures required for the issuance of a payment instruction for any payment from the jointly administered bank account shall be that of a person designated by the Subscriber.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, Items (a) and (b) under this section are for the purpose of ensuring the performance of Item (c) under this section and shall not confer upon the Subscriber any influence on the control of SMIC or the right to dispose of any of the said 340,000,000 shares. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything in Items (a) or (b) under this Section, the Company may dispose of or pledge the said 340,000,000 shares at its sole discretion; provided however that, any proceeds received from such disposal or pledge shall be used, on a priority basis, to redeem the Subscriber’s preferred shares and pay the dividend payable in respect thereof.

Section 2.08 Others

(a) Whether SMIC pays the coupon on the perpetual convertible notes shall have nothing to do with whether the Company shall distribute any dividend.

(b) From and after the Closing Date, any financing by the Company from any external financing source which shall rank in priority to or pari passu with the Convertible Preferred Shares in being paid and represents in aggregate more than 25% of the total assets of the Company shall be subject to consent from the Subscriber.

Upon fulfilment of such conditions, the Subscriber must perform its obligations to pay the Investment Amount. Failure of the Subscriber to do this shall obligate the Subscriber to bear the cost for financing on the market an amount equal to the Investment Amount.
