NFC SEC Documents did not, and the Additional NFC SEC Documents will not, at the time they were or are filed, as the case may be, with the SEC (except to the extent that information contained in any NFC SEC Document or Additional NFC SEC Document has been or is revised or superseded by a later filed NFC SEC Document or Additional NFC SEC Document, then on the date of such filing) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the foregoing does not apply to statements in or omissions in any information supplied or to be supplied by the Group Companies expressly for inclusion or incorporation by reference in any NFC SEC Document.

The SEC Reports (x) were prepared in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations thereunder and (y) did not, as of their respective effective dates (in the case of SEC Reports that are registration statements filed pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act) and at the time they were filed with the SEC (in the case of all other SEC Reports) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the date hereof, there are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the SEC staff with respect to NFC or the SEC Reports. As of the date hereof, to NFC’s knowledge, (i) none of the SEC Reports is the subject of ongoing SEC review or outstanding SEC comments and (ii) neither the SEC nor any other Governmental Entity is conducting any investigation or review of any SEC Report. The Public Certifications are each true as of their respective dates of filing.

NFC’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that all information (both financial and non-financial) required to be disclosed by NFC in the reports that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such information is accumulated and communicated to NFC’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. NFC’s management has completed an assessment of the effectiveness of NFC’s disclosure controls and procedures and, to the extent required by applicable Law, presented in any applicable SEC Report, or any amendment thereto, its conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by such report or amendment based on such evaluation. NFC has no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of its internal control over financial reporting that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect NFC’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information. NFC does not have knowledge of any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in NFC’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

(d)      Except as and to the extent reflected or reserved against in the NFC Financials, NFC has not incurred any liabilities or obligations of the type required to be reflected on a balance sheet in accordance with GAAP that are not adequately reflected or reserved on or provided for in the NFC Financials.

 

(e)      There are no outstanding loans or other extensions of credit made by NFC to any executive officer (as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act) or director of NFC other than advancements of expenses in the ordinary course less than $50,000 individually or $100,000 in the aggregate. NFC has not taken any action prohibited by Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficient of which are hereby acknowledged, each of the parties to this Agreement agrees as follows:

 

Article I

Section 1.1Board Nomination Right.

 

(a)           At the Effective Time, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) shall be comprised of nine (9) members, including Mr. CHEN Qiyu, who shall serve as a co-chairman of the Board. The Shareholder will timely nominate the Nominee (as defined below) for election to the Board at the shareholders meeting of the Company and provide all information and materials necessary for the inclusion of such Nominee in the NFC Director Election Proposal.

 

(b)           From the Effective Time until the date that the Shareholder ceases to Beneficially Own a number of NFC Ordinary Shares representing at least 3.33% of all of the NFC Ordinary Shares then issued and outstanding, at every meeting of the Board, or a committee thereof, or action by written consent, at or by which directors of the Company are appointed by the Board or are nominated to stand for election and elected by shareholders of the Company:

 

(A)             for so long as the Shareholder Beneficially Own a number of NFC Ordinary Shares representing at least 10.8% of all of the NFC Ordinary Shares then issued and outstanding, the Shareholder shall have the right to appoint or nominate for election to the Board, as applicable, two (2) individuals, to serve as directors of the Company; provided that (i) if one of these individuals is Mr. CHEN Qiyu, Mr. CHEN Qiyu shall serve as a co-chairman of the Board, and (b) in the event the Shareholder Beneficially Own a number of NFC Ordinary Shares representing at least 22.5% of all of the NFC Ordinary Shares then issued and outstanding, in addition to its rights provided in the foregoing clause, the Shareholder shall also have the right to appoint or nominate for election to the Board, as applicable, a third individual, to serve as an independent director of the Company; and

 

 1 

 

 

(B)              for so long as the Shareholder Beneficially Own a number of NFC Ordinary Shares representing at least 3.33% but less than 10.8% of all of the NFC Ordinary Shares then issued and outstanding, the Shareholder shall have the right to appoint or nominate for election to the Board, as applicable, one (1) individual, to serve as a director of the Company (any individual appointed or nominated by the Shareholder for election to the Board pursuant to Section 1.1(b)(A) or Section 1.1(b)(B), a “Nominee” and collectively, the “Nominees”); and if such individual is Mr. CHEN Qiyu, Mr. CHEN Qiyu shall serve as a co-chairman of the Board.

 

Any individual appointed or nominated to serve as an independent director shall qualify, as of the date of such individual’s appointment or nomination and as of any other date on which the determination is being made, (i) as an “Independent Director” under the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, as amended from time to time, and (ii) as an “Independent Director” under Rule 10(A)-3 under the Exchange Act as well as any other requirements of the U.S. securities laws which are then applicable to the Company. For purposes hereof, “Beneficial Ownership” shall be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the term “Beneficially Own” shall have the correlative meaning.

 

(c)           In the event that any Nominee shall cease to serve for any reason, the Shareholder shall, subject to the Shareholder then being entitled to nominate such individual for election or appointment as a director pursuant to Section 1.1(b), be entitled to designate and appoint or nominate such person’s successor in accordance with this Agreement and the Board shall promptly fill the vacancy with such successor Nominee.

 

(d)           Upon the Shareholder ceasing to be entitled to designate a Nominee pursuant to Section 1.1(b), the Shareholder shall take all actions within its power to cause the Nominee to offer to tender their resignations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may exclude the Board Observer from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if the Board determines in good faith, upon written advice of the Company’s outside counsel (which advice shall include legal analysis thereon in reasonable detail and shall be provided to all directors), that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege between the Company and such counsel; provided, however, that any such exclusion shall apply only to such portion of the material or such portion of the meeting which would be required to preserve such privilege and not to any other portion thereof.

 

 2

(e)           The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Board Observer from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses to which the Board Observer may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of, relate to, or are based upon Board Observer’s designation or attendance as a non-voting observer at meetings of the Board and Board Committees, the Board Observer’s receipt of materials or information under this Section 1.2, or the Board Observer’s exercise of his rights under this Agreement. The Company shall pay or reimburse the Board Observer for such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses as they are incurred, including, without limitation, for amounts incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that with respect to any claim or action brought against both the Board Observer and one or more directors of the Company, the Company shall not be liable to the Board Observer on account of any settlement of such claim or action effected by the Board Observer without the written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) prior to the settlement of such claim or action by the relevant directors.
