The percentage of the class of securities identified pursuant to Item 1 beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons is based on 192,072,453 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of the Closing Date, consisting of  86,124,407 Class A Shares and 105,948,046 Class B Shares after the issuance of Class A Shares contemplated in the Share Subscription Agreement, which includes the 6,000,000 Class A Shares issued to the depositary bank of the Issuer under reservation for future grants under the Issuer’s share incentive plan.

 

Based on their holdings of Ordinary Shares, Verne and Mr. Haifeng Yan control 6.4% and 6.6% of the total voting power of the outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer as of the Closing Date, respectively. The percentages of voting power was calculated by dividing the voting power beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons by the voting power of all of the Issuer’s holders of Class A Shares and Class B Shares as a single class as of the Closing Date.  Each holder of Class A Shares is entitled to one vote per share and each holder of Class B Shares is entitled to ten votes per share on all matters submitted to them for a vote.

 

Except as set forth in this Item 5, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no person identified in Schedule A hereto beneficially owns any Ordinary Shares.

LOAN AGREEMENT

 

This Loan Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of December 30, 2014 by and between Unicorn Riches Limited (麒裕有限公司) (“Lender”) and Verne Capital Limited (“Borrower”).

 

RECITALS

 

Borrower wishes to obtain that certain loan from Lender, and Lender desires to extend such loan to Borrower with security provided by Borrower for payment and discharge of such loan.  This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions on which Lender will advance the loan to Borrower and Borrower will repay the amounts owing to Lender.

 

AGREEMENT

 

The parties agree as follows:

 

1.                                      LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

 

(a)                                 Loan.  Borrower may request a Loan in an aggregate amount up to the Commitment to be funded to the account set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto. Lender’s obligation to make such Loan under this Agreement is subject to (i) no Event of Default having occurred and continuing and (ii) the execution, delivery and filing of such instruments and agreements, and completion of such other matters, as set out in Section 3 below. Whenever Borrower intends to borrow the Loan, Borrower will notify Lender in writing no later than 12:00 p.m. Beijing Time on the Business Day prior to the Business Day on which the Loan is to be made.

 

(b)                                 Payments.  Subject to the provision under Section 7 hereof to release Borrower’s obligations to further repay the Loan and interest in the event that Borrower has sold or transferred all Mortgaged Shares to repay the Loan, Borrower shall pay interest on the amount outstanding under the Loan in arrears in an amount equal to the Interest Rate on the Maturity Date, provided that: (i) if Borrower prepays the Loan in whole in accordance with paragraph (1)(c) below, Borrower shall pay interest equal to the Interest Rate on the principal amount of the Loan prepaid, on the date of such prepayment in whole; and (ii) if Borrower prepays the Loan in part (but not in whole) in accordance with paragraph (1)(c) below, Borrower shall pay interest equal to the Interest Rate on the principal amount of the Loan prepaid, on the date of such prepayment in part.  Borrower shall repay the outstanding amount of the Loan, plus any accrued but unpaid interests, on the Maturity Date, provided that if the value of the Mortgaged Shares constituting class A ordinary shares of the Company (based on the closing price of the Company ADS quoted by the NASDAQ Stock Exchange) on the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date is less than the outstanding amount of the Loan, plus any accrued and unpaid interests expected to be paid on the Maturity Date, Lender shall have the right to demand that Borrower convert, and Borrower shall convert as soon as possible but in any event prior to the Maturity Date, part or all of the Mortgaged Shares constituting class B ordinary shares of the Company into class A ordinary shares of the Company such that the value of the Mortgaged Shares constituting class A ordinary shares of the Company (based on the closing price of the Company ADS quoted by the NASDAQ Stock Exchange) is equal to at least the outstanding amount of the Loan plus any accrued and unpaid interests expected to be paid on the Maturity Date, to facilitate its sale for the purpose of the repayment of the Loan, unless Lender agrees in writing to another method for the repayment of the Loan.  The “Interest Rate” shall be equal to * per cent (*%) per annum, provided that following the date of this Agreement, Lender shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a loan from a commercial bank in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Commitment (the “Lender Loan”, and the date that Lender draws down such Lender Loan, the “Lender Loan Date”). In the event that Lender draws down the Lender Loan, the Interest Rate shall be equal to * per cent (*%) per annum for the period from the date Borrower draws down the Loan until (but excluding) the Lender Loan Date, and the then current market interest rates (as applicable) with respect to Lender obtaining the Lender Loan from another commercial bank, subject to certain adjustments to be made based on the costs and expenses of Lender obtaining such Lender Loan or any other costs incurred or payable by Lender with respect to such Lender Loan due to an Event of Default, for the period from (and including) the Lender Loan Date until the Maturity Date.  Lender shall notify Borrower in writing immediately upon its drawdown of the Lender Loan.  Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the

 


*  Certain portions of this Exhibit have been omitted based upon a request for confidential treatment. The omitted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 



 

event that no agreement is reached between Lender and a commercial bank prior to the Maturity Date, all the terms and conditions as specified in this Agreement, including the Maturity Date and the Interest Rate, shall continue to apply.

 

(c)                                  Prepayment Allowed.  Borrower may prepay the whole or any part of the Loan from time to time before the Maturity Date without penalty or premium, provided that each prepayment that Borrower makes shall permanently reduce the Commitment by the amount of such prepayment.  Borrower shall use its best efforts to obtain a loan from a commercial bank and shall use the proceeds received from such loan to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, plus any accrued but unpaid interests, after June 30, 2015.

 

2.                                      Term.  This Agreement shall become effective on the date set forth above and shall continue in full force and effect for so long as any Obligations remain outstanding or Lender has any obligation to make the Loan under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have the right to terminate its obligation to make the Loan under this Agreement immediately upon written notice while an Event of Default is continuing.

 

3.                                      Conditions of the Loan.  The obligation of Lender to make the Loan to Borrower is subject to the condition precedent that Lender shall have received, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, such documents, and completion of such matters, as Lender may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation:

 

(a)                                 an original of each of this Agreement and the Share Mortgage duly executed by the parties to it;

 

(b)                                 the closing contemplated by the Subscription Agreement shall occur substantially simultaneously with the date of the Loan is made and in any event on or prior to December 31, 2014;

 

(c)                                  Lender shall have received evidence of all authorizations required by Borrower (i) in connection with its or his entry into, performance, validity and enforceability of, and the transactions contemplated by, the Loan Documents to which it or he is a party and (ii) to make the Loan Documents admissible in evidence in the Relevant Jurisdictions; and

 

(d)                                 an original of the share certificate(s) of the Mortgaged Shares and copy of all notices required to be sent and other documents required to be executed or delivered under the this Agreement and the Share Mortgage; and

 

(e)                                  evidence that LTV Ratio is not more than *%.

 

4.                                      Representations and Warranties.  Borrower represents to Lender as follows, which representations shall be deemed to be repeated on each day the Loan remains outstanding:

 

(a)                                 Power and Authority.  Borrower has the power to enter into and perform, and has taken all necessary actions to authorize the entry into, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it or he is or will be a party and the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.

 

(b)                                 Authorizations.  All authorizations required by Borrower (i) in connection with the entry into, performance, validity and enforceability of, and the transactions contemplated by, the Loan Documents to which it or he is a party and (ii) to make the Loan Documents admissible in evidence in the Relevant Jurisdictions, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii) have been obtained or effected (as appropriate) and are in full force and effect.

 

(c)                                  Use of Proceeds.  Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan solely for the purpose of purchasing 3,731,034 Class A ordinary shares of the Company, which shall form part of the Mortgaged Shares.

 

(d)                                 Litigation.  There is no claim or litigation pending or threatened against Borrower that, either separately or in the aggregate, if adversely determined would be reasonably likely to result in damages in excess of US$250,000.

(b)                                 Remedies Cumulative.  In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement, Lender shall have all the other rights and remedies accorded a secured party under applicable laws, and under any other instrument or agreement now or in the future entered into between Lender and Borrower, and all of such rights and remedies are cumulative and none is exclusive.  Exercise or partial exercise by Lender of one or more of its rights or remedies shall not be deemed an election, nor bar Lender from subsequent exercise or partial exercise of any other rights or remedies.  The failure or delay of Lender to exercise any rights or remedies shall not operate as a waiver thereof, but all rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been fully paid and performed.

 

10.                               Waivers.  The failure of Lender at any time or times to require Borrower to strictly comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other present or future agreement between Borrower and Lender shall not waive or diminish any right of Lender later to demand and receive strict compliance therewith.  Any waiver of any default shall not waive or affect any other default, whether prior or subsequent, and whether or not similar.  None of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement shall be deemed to have been waived except by a specific written waiver signed by an authorized officer of Lender.  Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, instrument, account, general intangible, document or guaranty at any time held by Lender on which Borrower is or may in any way be liable, and notice of any action taken by Lender, unless expressly required by this Agreement.

 

11.                               Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of New York State, excluding that State’s choice of law principles, and all claims relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or the breach thereof, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise, shall likewise be governed by the laws of New York State, excluding that State’s choice of law principles.

 

4



 

12.                               Dispute Resolution.  Any dispute, controversy or claim (each, a “Dispute”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the interpretation, breach, termination, validity or invalidity thereof, shall be referred to arbitration upon the demand of either party to the dispute with notice (the “Arbitration Notice”) to the other. The Dispute shall be settled by arbitration in Hong Kong by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “HKIAC”) in accordance with the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre Administered Arbitration Rules (the “HKIAC Rules”) in force when the Arbitration Notice is submitted in accordance with the HKIAC Rules.  There shall be three (3) arbitrators.  The claimants in the Dispute shall collectively choose one arbitrator, and the respondents shall collectively choose one arbitrator.  The Secretary General of the HKIAC shall select the third arbitrator, who shall be qualified to practice law in Hong Kong.  If any of the members of the arbitral tribunal have not been appointed within thirty (30) days after the Arbitration Notice is given, the relevant appointment shall be made by the Secretary General of the HKIAC.

 

13.                               Severability.  If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.  Upon such determination that any term, provision, covenant or restriction is invalid, illegal, void, unenforceable or against regulatory policy, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Loan and other transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

 

14.                               General.  This Agreement and such other written agreements, documents and instruments as may be executed in connection herewith are the final, entire and complete agreement between Borrower and Lender and supersede all prior and contemporaneous negotiations and oral representations and agreements, all of which are merged and integrated in this Agreement.  There are no oral understandings, representations or agreements between the parties which are not set forth in this Agreement or in other written agreements signed by the parties in connection herewith.  The terms and provisions of this Agreement may not be waived or amended, except in a writing executed by Borrower and a duly authorized officer of Lender.  Lender may assign all or any part of its interest in this Agreement and the Obligations to any person or entity, or grant a participation in, or security interest in, any interest in this Agreement, with notice to, but without consent of, Borrower.  Borrower may not assign any rights under or interest in this Agreement without Lender’s prior written consent.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one agreement.  Unless otherwise defined herein, all initially capitalized terms in this Agreement shall be as defined on Exhibit A attached hereto.
