Sixiang Qiyuan (Hangzhou) Culture Technology Co., Ltd., with its registered address at Room 1106, floor 11, building 3, No. 99, Wangzhou Road, Liangzhu street, Yuhang District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province;

 

In this Agreement, each of Party A, Party B and Party C shall be referred to as a “Party” respectively, and they shall be collectively referred to as the “Parties”.

 

WHEREAS:

 

Party B is a shareholder of Party C and as of the date hereof, holds 100% of equity interests of Party C in the aggregate, representing RMB1 million in the registered capital of Party C.

 

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

 

1.Sale and Purchase of Equity Interest

 

1.1Option Granted

 

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, 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.

 

 

 

 

1.2Steps for Exercise of Equity Interest Purchase Option

 

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.

 

1.3Equity Interest Purchase Price

 

The total price of the purchased equity interests held by Party B to be purchased by Party A shall be equal to the actual amount of registered capital paid by Party B for such purchased equity interests (or such price may be subject to the equity interest transfer contract otherwise entered into by and between Party A (or the Designee (s)) and Party B; provided, however, that such price does not violate the laws and regulations of the PRC and is approved by Party A); If Party A exercises the Option to purchase part of the Optioned Interests held by Party B in Party C, the Equity Interest Purchase Price shall be calculated on a pro rata basis. If when Party A exercises the Equity Interest Purchase Option, the PRC laws have mandatory provisions on the transfer price of the Optioned Interests, causing the minimum price permitted by law to be higher than the aforesaid price, the transfer price shall be the minimum price permitted by the PRC laws (collectively, the “Equity Interest Purchase Price”). If when Party A exercises the Equity Interest Purchase Option, the PRC laws have mandatory provisions on the transfer price of the Optioned Interests, causing the minimum price permitted by law to be higher than the aforesaid price, then the transfer price shall be the minimum price permitted by the PRC laws (collectively, the “Equity Interest Purchase Price”). Upon receipt by Party A and/or the Designee (s) of all approvals, registrations or filings relating to the Optioned Interests and all ownership documents relating to the Optioned Interests to the satisfaction of Party A and/or the Designee (s), Party A and/or the Designee (s) shall pay to Party B for the Equity Interest Purchase Price in cash.

 

1.4Transfer of Optioned Interests

 

For each exercise of the Equity Interest Purchase Option:

 

1.4.1Party 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);

 

2

 

 

1.4.2Party 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 (“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 Exclusive Business Corporation Agreement executed by and between Party C and Party A.
