(b)          the denominator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares then outstanding (on an as converted but not fully-diluted basis) immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities giving rise to the Preemptive Right.

(B)Procedures. In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, it shall give to the Preemptive Right Holders a written notice ofits intention to issue such New Securities (the “Participation Notice”), describing the amount and the type of New Securities, the price and the general terms and conditions upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities. The Preemptive Right Holders shall have fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of receipt of any such Participation Notice (the “Participation Period”) to agree in writing to purchase such Preemptive Right Holder’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Participation Notice by giving a written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased (not to exceed such Preemptive Right Holder’sPro Rata Share). If any Preemptive Right Holder fails to so agree in writing within such fifteen (15)-Business Day period to purchase such Preemptive Right Holder’s full Pro Rata Share of an offering of New Securities, then such Preemptive Right Holder shall forfeit the right hereunder to purchase that partof its Pro Rata Share of such New Securities that it did not so agree to purchase; provided that if any Preemptive Right Holder fails to so agreewithin such fifteen (15) Business Days’ period solely because the Company fails to comply with the notice provision of this Article 16.6(B), then theCompany shall not affect the proposed issuance of any New Securities. If any Preemptive Right Holder fails or declines to exercise its Pro Rata Sharein full in accordance with this Article 16.6, the Company shall give a written notice (the “Second Participation Notice”) within five (5) Business Days following the Participation Period to all other Preemptive Right Holders who have exercised their respective Pro Rata Share in full. Each such PreemptiveRight Holder shall have fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of receipt of any such Second Participation Notice (the “Second Participation Period”) tonotify the Company in writing of its desires to purchase more than its ProRata Share of the New Securities and state therein the number of the additional New Securities it proposes to purchase (the “Additional Number”);provided, further, that Alibaba and NS shall have the right to exercise such overallotment right only if after exercising such overallotment right, the total shareholding percentage of Alibaba and NS in the Company (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) does not exceed twenty percent (20%).If, as a result thereof, such oversubscription exceeds the total number of the New Securities available for purchase, each oversubscribing Preemptive Right Holder will be cut back by the Company with respect to its oversubscription to that number of the New Securities equal to the lesser of the Additional Number or (b) the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of the remaining New Securities available for subscription by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares (calculatedon an as-converted but not fully-diluted basis) held by such oversubscribing Preemptive Right Holder immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities giving rise to the Preemptive Right and the denominator of which is the total number of Common Shares (calculated on an as-converted but not fully- diluted basis) held by all oversubscribing Preemptive Right Holders immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities giving rise to the Preemptive Right.
