Shareholder’s Voting Proxy Agreements

The Option is exercisable at any time at Jinong’s discretion so long as such exercise and subsequent acquisition of the VIE Companies does not violate PRC law. The consideration for the exercise of the Option is to be determined by the parties and memorialized in the future by definitive agreements setting forth the kind and value of such consideration. Jinong may transfer all rights and obligations under the Exclusive Option Agreements to any third parties without the approval of the shareholders of the VIE Companies so long as a written notice is provided. The Exclusive Option Agreements may be terminated by mutual agreements or by 30 days written notice by Jinong.

Prior to termination of the Pledge Agreements, the pledged equity interests cannot be transferred without Jinong's prior written consent. The Pledge Agreements may be terminated only upon the written agreement of the parties.

  

Non-Compete Agreements

 

Pursuant to the terms of certain Non-Compete Agreements dated January 1, 2017, among Jinong and the shareholders of the VIE Companies (the “Non-Compete Agreements”), the shareholders of the VIE Companies agreed that during the period beginning on the initial date of their services with Jinong, and ending five (5) years after termination of their services with Jinong, without Jinong’s prior written consent, they will not provide services or accept positions including but not limited to partners, directors, shareholders, managers, proxies or consultants, provided by any profit making organizations with businesses that may compete with Jinong. They will not solicit or interfere with any of the Jinong’s customers, or solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any person engaged or employed by Jinong to terminate his or her service or engagement. In the event that the shareholders of the VIE Companies breach the non-compete obligations contained therein, Jinong is entitled to all loss and damages; in the event that the damages are difficult to determine, remedies bore the shareholders of the VIE Companies shall be no less than 50% of the salaries and other expenses Jinong provided in the past.
