(a)           Any dispute, actions and proceedings against any Party arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) and resolved in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of HKIAC in force at the relevant time and as may be amended by this Section 6.9 (the “Rules”). The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The official language of the arbitration shall be English and the tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators (each, an “Arbitrator”). The claimant(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one (1) Arbitrator; the respondent(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one (1) Arbitrator; and a third (3rd) Arbitrator will be nominated jointly by the first two (2) Arbitrators and shall serve as chairman of the arbitration tribunal. In the event the claimant(s) or respondent(s) or the first two (2) Arbitrators shall fail to nominate or agree the joint nomination of an Arbitrator or the third (3rd) Arbitrator within the time limits specified by the Rules, such Arbitrator shall be appointed promptly by the HKIAC. The arbitration tribunal shall have no authority to award punitive or other punitive-type damages. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the disputing parties. Any party to an award may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award and, for purposes of the enforcement of such award, the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction and waive any defenses to such enforcement based on lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereby consent to and agree that in addition to any recourse to arbitration as set out in Section 6.9(a), any Party may, to the extent permitted under the rules and procedures of the HKIAC, seek an interim injunction or other form of relief from the HKIAC as provided for in its Rules. Such application shall also be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

 

(c)           The Parties hereto agree that the obligations imposed on them in this Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character and irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each Party to this Agreement (a) shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the forum described in this Section 6.9, without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity, and (b) hereby waives any requirement for the posting of any bond or similar collateral in connection therewith. Each Party hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (i) any other Party has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

This letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”) sets forth the agreement by and among PW Medtech Group Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“PWM”), Biomedical Future Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“BFL”) and Neptune Connection Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the Laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Neptune,” and together with PWM and BFL, each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”) in relation to the Take Private Transaction (as defined below). It is contemplated that, (a) pursuant to that certain consortium agreement, dated as of September 18, 2019, by and among PWM and other parties thereto (as amended by amendment no. 1 thereto dated as of January 23, 2020 and by a letter agreement dated as of September 16, 2020, and as further amended, restated or modified from time to time, the “Consortium Agreement”), parties to the Consortium Agreement (including other parties that subsequently join thereto from time to time but excluding those that withdraw therefrom from time to time, the “Consortium”) have submitted a preliminary non-binding proposal, dated as of September 18, 2019, to acquire all of the Ordinary Shares that are not already beneficially owned by members of the Consortium and their respective affiliates (the “Take Private Transaction”); (b) on the date hereof, BFL is joining the Consortium and becoming a party to the Consortium Agreement; (c) CBPO Holdings Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Parent”), CBPO Group Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) and the Issuer are negotiating and may enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”), with the Issuer surviving the Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent; (d) concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, BFL will provide a limited guarantee (the “SPV LG”) to the Issuer guaranteeing the payment of a portion of the termination fee and certain other amounts payable to the Issuer by Parent pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement (such termination fee and other amounts payable by Parent to the Issuer are collectively referred to as the “Parent Fee”); (e) concurrently with the execution and delivery of the SPV LG, an affiliate of Neptune, CITIC Securities International Company Limited (“CSI”), will enter into a letter agreement with BFL (the “CSI ECL”) committing to purchase or cause to be purchased certain equity interests of BFL, for the purpose of, among other matters, funding BFL’s obligations under the SPV LG; and (f) on the date hereof PWM and BFL are entering into that certain share purchase agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “BFL SPA”), pursuant to which PWM will sell 660,833 Ordinary Shares held by it (which may increase to up to 1,571,000 Ordinary Shares in the aggregate pursuant to the terms and conditions of the BFL SPA) (such 660,833 Ordinary Shares are collectively referred to as the “Proposed Sale Shares,” and the Ordinary Shares actually acquired by BFL under the BFL SPA are collectively referred to as the Sale Shares”) to BFL. In consideration of the foregoing and as a condition and inducement to (1) the willingness of each of PWM and BFL to enter into the BFL SPA, (2) BFL’s willingness to enter into the SPV LG, and (3) CSI’s willingness to enter into the CSI ECL, the Parties are entering into this Letter Agreement concurrently with the execution and delivery of the BFL SPA. Unless otherwise defined herein (including Schedule A hereto), capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the BFL SPA.

PWM hereby absolutely and irrevocably agrees and undertakes to BFL that, from the date hereof until the earliest of (i) the closing of the transactions contemplated in the BFL SPA (the “BFL SPA Closing”), (ii) the valid termination of the BFL SPA in accordance with its terms, (iii) the closing of the Take Private Transaction pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Closing”), and (iv) the execution of the Merger Agreement (including any amendment or supplement thereto and/or any restatement thereof) which provides that the cash consideration payable for each Ordinary Share (other than the Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares (each as defined in Schedule A hereto)) is less than US$120, it shall:

 

(a)            not, directly or indirectly, contribute, or permit the contribution of, any of the Proposed Sale Shares held by it to Parent or its Affiliates in connection with the Merger Closing, or undertake any similar transaction, whether pursuant to the terms of the Consortium Agreement, in connection with the Take Private Transaction or otherwise; and

 

(b)            take all actions necessary (including entering into such agreements with members of the Consortium or obtaining such consents or waivers under the Consortium Agreement) to modify, amend or terminate its contribution obligations with respect to the Proposed Sale Shares to give full effect to Section 1(a) above.

 

2.            Merger Closing. PWM hereby further absolutely and irrevocably agrees, undertakes and acknowledges that in the event that the BFL SPA Closing shall have not occurred on or before the Merger Closing, each and all of the Proposed Sale Shares shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the applicable cash payment pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement; provided that, subject to Section 7, this Section 2 shall automatically terminate upon the earlier of (i) the valid termination of the BFL SPA in accordance with its terms, and (ii) the execution of the Merger Agreement (including any amendment or supplement thereto and/or any restatement thereof) which provides that the cash consideration payable for each Ordinary Share (other than the Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) is less than US$120.

(b)            Notwithstanding Section 4(a) above, to the extent Neptune or BFL actually recovers and receives all or any part of the Applicable Fee from any member of the Consortium or their Affiliates pursuant to the Consortium Agreement or any other agreement among members of the Consortium (such amount of the Applicable Fee that Neptune or BFL (as the case may be) has actually recovered and received is referred to as the “Recovered Fee”), (i) the payment that Neptune or BFL (as the case may be) is entitled to pursuant to Section 4(a) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (x) the PWM Parent Fee Percentage (as defined in Schedule A hereto) and (y) the sum of (A) the Recovered Fee less (B) any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Neptune or BFL in obtaining the Recovered Fee (the sum of the foregoing sub-sections (A) and (B) is referred to as the “Recovered Sum”); and (ii) if Neptune or BFL receives the Recovered Fee after PWM’s payment of the PWM Parent Fee pursuant to Section 4(a), Neptune or BFL (as applicable) shall refund (or cause to be refunded) to PWM an amount equal to the product of the PWM Parent Fee Percentage and the Recovered Sum, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) following the date on which Neptune or BFL has received the Recovered Fee, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to a bank account designated by PWM in writing.

 

(c)            For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any overlap between the PWM Consortium Fees and the PWM Parent Fee, Section 4 shall apply to the overlapped amount and PWM shall have no obligation to pay or cause to be paid such overlapped amount pursuant to Section 3(a).

(c)           When used herein, the word “extent” and the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such word or phrase shall not simply mean “if.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision in this Agreement. The term “or” is not exclusive. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.”

 

(d)           The Parties agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.
