| 10.1 | Each of the Parties confirms and represents that this Agreement has been duly authorised, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligations and is enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. Except for such consents, approvals and authorisations as may be required by the Company to implement the Global Offering, no corporate, shareholder or other consents, approvals or authorisations are required by such Party for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and each of the Parties further confirms that it can perform its obligations described hereunder. |
| 10.2 | Save for manifest error, calculations and determinations made in good faith by the Company and the Joint Global Coordinators shall be conclusive with respect to the number of Investor Shares and the Offer Price for the purposes of this Agreement. |
| 10.3 | The obligations of each of the Joint Global Coordinators and the Joint Sponsors as provided in this Agreement are several (and not joint or joint and several). None of |
| | Joint Global Coordinators and the Joint Sponsors will be liable for any failure on the part of any of the other Joint Global Coordinators and the Joint Sponsors to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement, and no such failure shall affect the right of any of the other Joint Global Coordinators and the Joint Sponsors to enforce the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Joint Global Coordinators and the Joint Sponsors shall be entitled to enforce any or all of its rights under this Agreement either alone or jointly with the other Joint Global Coordinators and the Joint Sponsors, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws. |
| 10.4 | The Investor, the Company, the Joint Global Coordinators and the Joint Sponsors shall cooperate with respect to any notifications to, or consents and/or approvals of, third parties which are or may be required for the purposes of or in connection with this Agreement. |
| 10.5 | No alteration to, or variation of, this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by or on behalf of all the Parties. |

| 10.9 | All provisions of this Agreement shall so far as they are capable of being performed or observed continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the Closing in accordance with Clause 4 except in respect of those matters then already performed and unless they are terminated with the written consent of all Parties. |

| 10.11 | To the extent otherwise set out in this Clause 10.11, a person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Ordinance to enforce any term of this Agreement but this does not affect any rights or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Ordinance: |
| (a) | Indemnified Parties may enforce and rely on Clause 6.5 to the same extent as if they were a party to this Agreement; and |
| (b) | this Agreement may be terminated or rescinded and any term may be amended, varied or waived without the consent of the persons referred to in sub-clause 10.11(a). |
| 10.12 | Each of the Joint Global Coordinators and the Joint Sponsors has the power and is hereby authorised to delegate all or any of its relevant rights, duties, powers and discretions in such manner and on such terms as it thinks fit (with or without formality and without prior notice of any such delegation being required to be given to the Company or the Investor) to any one or more of its affiliates. Such Joint Global Coordinator or Joint Sponsor shall remain liable for all acts and omissions of any of its respective affiliates to which it delegates relevant rights, duties, powers and/or discretions pursuant to this sub-clause notwithstanding any such delegation. |
| 10.13 | No delay or failure by a Party to exercise or enforce (in whole or in part) any right provided by this Agreement or by law shall operate as a release or waiver of, or in any way limit, that Party’s ability to further exercise or enforce that, or any other, right and no single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise of it or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers and remedies (whether provided by law or otherwise). A waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be effective, or implied, unless that waiver is in writing and is signed by the Party against whom that waiver is claimed. |
| 10.14 | If at any time any provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, that shall not affect or impair: |
| (a) | the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other provision of this Agreement; or |
| (b) | the legality, validity or enforceability under the law of any other jurisdiction of that or any other provision of this Agreement. |
| 10.15 | This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement.

Obligations under this Agreement shall not be assignable. |
| 10.16 | Without prejudice to all rights to claim against the Investor for all losses and damages suffered by the other Parties, if there is any breach of warranties made by the Investor on or before the Listing Date, the Company, the Joint Global Coordinators and the Joint Sponsors shall, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary to this Agreement, have the right to rescind this Agreement and all obligations of the Parties hereunder shall cease forthwith. |
| 10.17 | Each of the Parties undertakes with the other Parties that it shall execute and perform, and procure that it is executed and performed, such further documents and acts as may be required to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement. |
| 11. | Governing law and jurisdiction |
| 11.1 | This Agreement and the relationship between the Parties shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of Hong Kong. |
| 11.2 | Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof (Dispute), shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre Administered Arbitration Rules in force as of the date of submitting the arbitration application. The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong and the governing law of the arbitration proceedings shall be Hong Kong law. There shall be three arbitrators and the language in the arbitration proceedings shall be English. The decision and award of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding on the parties and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction, and the parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any and all rights to any form of appeal, review or recourse to any judicial authority, insofar as such waiver may be validly made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties shall have the right to seek interim injunctive relief or other interim relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, before the arbitral tribunal has been appointed. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a national court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies or order the Parties to request that a court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by a such court, and to award damages for the failure of any Party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect. |
To the extent that in any proceedings in any jurisdiction (including arbitration proceedings) in respect of a Dispute, the Investor has or can claim for itself or its assets, properties or revenues any immunity (on the grounds of sovereignty or crown status or otherwise) from any action, suit, proceeding or other legal process (including arbitration proceedings), from set-off or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any court, from service of process, from attachment to or in aid of execution of any judgment, decision, determination, order or award (including any arbitral award), or from other action, suit or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of any judgement, decision, determination, order or award (including any arbitral award) or to the extent that in any such proceedings there may be attributed to itself or its assets, properties or revenues any such immunity (whether or not claimed), the Investor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim any such immunity in relation to any such proceedings.
| 13.1 | The Investor irrevocably appoints General Atlantic Asia Limited at Suite 5704-5706, 57/F Two IFC, 8 Finance Street, Central, Hong Kong, to receive, for it and on its behalf, service of process in the proceedings in Hong Kong. Such service shall be deemed completed on delivery to the process agent (whether or not it is forwarded to and received by the Investor). |
| 13.2 | If for any reason the process agent ceases to be able to act as such or no longer has an address in Hong Kong, the Investor irrevocably agrees to appoint a substitute process agent acceptable to the Company, the Joint Global Coordinators and the Joint Sponsors, and to deliver to the Company, the Joint Global Coordinators and the Joint Sponsors a copy of the new process agent’s acceptance of that appointment, within 30 days thereof. |
| 14. | Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes |
| 14.1 | In the event that any Joint Global Coordinator or Joint Sponsor is a Covered Entity and becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Global Coordinator or Joint Sponsor of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime as if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. |
| 14.2 | In the event that any Joint Global Coordinator or Joint Sponsor is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate and becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Global Coordinator or Joint Sponsor are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime as if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. |
| 14.3 | For the purpose of this clause, |
“BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k).
“Covered Entity” means any of the following:
| i. | a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); |
| ii. | a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or |
| iii. | a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). |
“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

Schedule 1
Investor Shares
Number of Investor Shares
The number of Investor Shares shall be equal to (1) the Hong Kong dollar equivalent of US dollar 30 million (calculated using the exchange rate of US$1.00:HK$7.80) (excluding Brokerage and the Levies which the Investor will pay in respect of the Investor Shares) divided by (2) the Offer Price, rounded down to the nearest whole board lot of 500 Shares.
Pursuant to paragraph 4.2 of Practice Note 18 to the Listing Rules and the waiver as granted by the Stock Exchange (if any), in the event of over-subscription under the Hong Kong Public Offering, the number of Investor Shares to be subscribed for by the Investor under this Agreement might be affected by the reallocation of Shares between the International Offering and the Hong Kong Public Offering. If the total demand for Shares in the Hong Kong Public Offering falls within the circumstance as set out in the section headed “Structure of the Global Offering – The Hong Kong Public Offering - Reallocation” in the Prospectus, the number of Investor Shares may be reduced on a pro rata basis (subject to any adjustment for whole board lot as the Company, the Joint Global Coordinators and the Joint Sponsors may make in their absolute discretion) to satisfy the public demands under the Hong Kong Public Offering.
