Both Parties agree that, in consideration of the services provided by Party A, Party B shall pay to Party A the fees (the “Service Fees”) equal to 100% of the after-tax income determined by U.S. GAAP of Party B, provided that upon mutual discussion between the Parties and the prior written consent by Party A, the rate of Service Fees may be adjusted based on the services rendered by Party A in that quarter and the operational needs of Party B.

If Party A suffers any losses as a result of any defect of the aforesaid documents, Party B shall be fully responsible for such losses. In the event that Party B’s payment obligation hereunder is reduced or released because of the provision by Party B of any fraudulent materials to Party A, Party B hereby irrevocably undertakes to compensate Party A accordingly for the amount so reduced or released.

Party C is a limited liability company registered in Meihekou City, China. Party C acknowledges the respective rights and obligations of Pledger and Pledgee under this Agreement, and intends to provide any necessary assistance in registering the Pledge;

1

Equity Option Agreement

 

 

现各方协商一致,达成如下协议:

 

Now therefore, upon mutual discussion and negotiation, the Parties have reached the following agreement:

 

1. 股权买卖

 

Sale and Purchase of Equity Interest

 

1.1 授予权利

 

Option Granted

 

鉴于甲方向乙方支付了人民币1元作为对价,且乙方确认收到并认为该对价足够,乙方在此不可撤销地同意,在中国法律允许的前提下,甲方可以按照自行决定的行使步骤,并按照本合同第1.3条所述的价格,要求乙方履行和完成中国法律要求的一切审批和登记手续,使得甲方可以随时一次或多次从乙方购买,或指定一人或多人(“被指定人”)从乙方购买乙方所持有的丙方的不超过100%股权 (“股权购买权”)。甲方的该股权购买权为独家的。除甲方和被指定人外,任何第三人均不得享有股权购买权或其他与乙方股权有关的权利。丙方特此同意乙方向甲方授予股权购买权。本款及本合同所规定的“人”指个人、公司、合营企业、合伙、企业、信托或非公司组织。

 

In consideration of the payment of RMB 1 by Party A, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged by Party B, Party B hereby irrevocably agrees that, on the condition that it is permitted by the PRC laws, Party A has the right to require Party B to fulfill and complete all approval and registration procedures required under PRC laws for Party A to purchase, or designate one or more persons (each, a “Designee”) to purchase, up to 100% of Party B’s equity interests in Party C, once or at multiple times at any time in part or in whole at Party A’s sole and absolute discretion and at the price described in Section 1.3 herein (such right being the “Equity Interest Purchase Option”). Party A’s Equity Interest Purchase Option shall be exclusive. Except for Party A and the Designee(s), no other person shall be entitled to the Equity Interest Purchase Option or other rights with respect to the equity interests of Party B. Party C hereby agrees to the grant by Party B of the Equity Interest Purchase Option to Party A. The term “person” as used herein shall refer to individuals, corporations, partnerships, partners, enterprises, trusts or non-corporate organizations.

 

1.2 行使步骤

 

Steps for Exercise of Equity Interest Purchase Option

 

甲方行使其股权购买权以符合中国法律和法规的规定为前提。甲方行使股权购买权时,应向乙方发出书面通知(“股权购买通知”),股权购买通知应载明以下事项:(a)甲方关于行使股权购买权的决定;(b)甲方拟从乙方购买的股权份额(“被购买股权”) ;和(c) 被购买股权的购买日/转让日。

 

Subject to the provisions of the laws and regulations of China, Party A may exercise the Equity Interest Purchase Option by issuing a written notice to Party B (the “Equity Interest Purchase Option Notice”), specifying: (a) Party A’s decision to exercise the Equity Interest Purchase Option; (b) the portion of equity interests to be purchased from Party B (the “Optioned Interests”); and (c) the date for purchasing the Optioned Interests and/or the date for transfer of the Optioned Interests.

 

2 

Equity Option Agreement

 

 

1.3 股权买价

 

Equity Interest Purchase Price

 

被购买股权的买价(“基准买价”)应为中国法律所允许的最低价格。如果在甲方行权时中国法律要求评估股权,各方通过诚信原则另行商定,并在评估基础上对该股权买价进行必要调整,以符合当时适用之任何中国法律之要求(统称,“股权买价”)。如果当基准买价高于丙方的注册资本时(若非购买全部股权时,按比例计算),乙方应按照甲方指定的方式将高出部分返还给甲方或其指定的人士。

 

The purchase price of the Optioned Interests (the “Base Price”) shall be the lowest price allowed by the laws of China. If appraisal is required by the laws of China at the time when Party A exercises the Equity Interest Purchase Option, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and based on the appraisal result make necessary adjustment to the Equity Interest Purchase Price so that it complies with any and all then applicable laws of China (collectively, the “Equity Interest Purchase Price”). When the price is higher than the registered capital of Party C, calculated pro rata for purchase of less than all of the Equity Interest, the excessive part of the price shall be returned to Party A or its designee in a manner as instructed by Party A.

 

1.4 转让被购买股权

 

Transfer of Optioned Interests

 

甲方每次行使股权购买权时:

 

For each exercise of the Equity Interest Purchase Option:

 

1.4.1 乙方应责成丙方及时召开股东会会议,在该会议上,应通过批准乙方向甲方和/或被指定人转让被购买股权的决议;

 

Party B shall cause Party C to promptly convene a shareholders’ meeting, at which a resolution shall be adopted approving Party B’s transfer of the Optioned Interests to Party A and/or the Designee(s);

 

1.4.2 乙方应就其向甲方和/或被指定人转让被购买股权取得丙方其他股东同意该转让并放弃优先购买权的书面声明。

 

Party B shall obtain written statements from the other shareholders of Party C giving consent to the transfer of the equity interest to Party A and/or the Designee(s) and waiving any right of first refusal related thereto.

The relevant Parties shall execute all other necessary contracts, agreements or documents, obtain all necessary government licenses and permits and take all necessary actions to transfer valid ownership of the Optioned Interests to Party A and/or the Designee(s), unencumbered by any security interests, and cause Party A and/or the Designee(s) to become the registered owner(s) of the Optioned Interests. For the purpose of this Section and this Agreement, “security interests” shall include securities, mortgages, third party’s rights or interests, any stock options, acquisition right, right of first refusal, right to offset, ownership retention or other security arrangements, but shall be deemed to exclude any security interest created by this Agreement and Party B’s Equity Pledge Agreement. “Party B’s Equity Pledge Agreement” as used in this Section and this Agreement shall refer to the Equity Pledge Agreement (“Party B’s Equity Pledge Agreement”) executed by and among Party A, Party B and Party C as of the date hereof, whereby Party B pledges all of its equity interests in Party C to Party A, in order to guarantee Party C’s performance of its obligations under the Control Agreements executed by and between Party C and Party A.
