Related to Exercising the Opt In

• Exercise of the Option The Optionee may exercise the Option, from time to time and at any time, beginning on the first anniversary of this Agreement. The grant of the Option shall not confer upon the Optionee any right to be employed by the Company nor limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate the employment of the Optionee at any time.

• Partial Exercise or Transfer Subject to the restrictions in Section 3 hereof, this Purchase Warrant may be exercised or assigned in whole or in part. In the event of the exercise or assignment hereof in part only, upon surrender of this Purchase Warrant for cancellation, together with the duly executed exercise or assignment form and funds sufficient to pay any Exercise Price and/or transfer tax if exercised pursuant to Section 2.1 hereto, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder without charge a new Purchase Warrant of like tenor to this Purchase Warrant in the name of the Holder evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the number of Shares purchasable hereunder as to which this Purchase Warrant has not been exercised or assigned.

• Right of Exercise Subject to the provisions hereof, each Registered Warrantholder may exercise the right conferred on such holder to subscribe for and purchase one (1) Common Share for each Warrant after the Issue Date and prior to the Expiry Time and in accordance with the conditions herein.

• Notices; Method of Exercising Repurchase Right, Etc (a) Unless the Company shall have theretofore called for redemption of all of the Outstanding Securities, on or before the 30th day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company or, at the request and expense of the Company, the Trustee, shall give to all Holders of Securities, in the manner provided in Section 1.6, notice (the "Company Notice") of the occurrence of the Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right set forth herein arising as a result thereof. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such Company Notice to the Trustee. Each notice of a repurchase right shall state: (1) the Repurchase Date, (2) the date by which the repurchase right must be exercised, (3) the Repurchase Price, (4) a description of the procedure which a Holder must follow to exercise a repurchase right, and the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Repurchase Price and accrued interest, if any, (5) that on the Repurchase Date the Repurchase Price, and accrued interest, if any, will become due and payable upon each such Security designated by the Holder to be repurchased, and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date, and (6) the Conversion Price then in effect, the date on which the right to convert the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased will terminate and the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion. So long as the Securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the Luxembourg Stock Exchange shall so require, on or before the 30th day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company or, at the request of the Company, the Paying Agent in Luxembourg, will provide notice of such Fundamental Change by publishing such notice in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg, or, if not practicable in Luxembourg, elsewhere in a Western European city. No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices or defect therein shall limit any Holder's right to exercise a repurchase right or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of Securities. If any of the foregoing provisions or other provisions of this Article are inconsistent with applicable law, such law shall govern. (b) To exercise a repurchase right, a Holder shall deliver to the Trustee or any Paying Agent on or before the 30th day after the date of the Company Notice (i) written notice of the Holder's exercise of such right, which notice shall set forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased (and, if any Security is to be repurchased in 107 117 part, the serial number thereof, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be repurchased and the name of the Person in which the portion thereof to remain Outstanding after such repurchase is to be registered) and a statement that an election to exercise the repurchase right is being made thereby, and (ii) the Securities with respect to which the repurchase right is being exercised. Such written notice shall be irrevocable, except that the right of the Holder to convert the Securities with respect to which the repurchase right is being exercised shall continue until the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date. (c) In the event a repurchase right shall be exercised in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee or the Paying Agent the Repurchase Price in cash, as provided above, for payment to the Holder on the Repurchase Date together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date payable with respect to the Securities as to which their purchase right has been exercised; provided, however, that installments of interest that mature on or prior to the Repurchase Date shall be payable in cash, in the case of Securities, to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date. (d) If any Security (or portion thereof) surrendered for repurchase shall not be so paid on the Repurchase Date, the principal amount of such Security (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall, until paid, bear interest to the extent permitted by applicable law from the Repurchase Date at the rate of 5% per annum, and each Security shall remain convertible into Common Stock until the principal of such Security (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall have been paid or duly provided for. (e) Any Security which is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Trustee (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities, containing identical terms and conditions, each in an authorized denomination in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. (f) All securities delivered for repurchase shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Paying Agent or any other agents (as shall be set forth in the Company Notice) to be canceled by or at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 3.9.

• Exercise of Call Option 3.1 During the Call Option Period, PCCW may exercise the Call Option by delivering to PubCo a written notice (the “Call Notice”) specifying the principal amount of the Call Option Note it elects to subscribe for (such principal amount, the “Call Option Note Amount”). 3.2 On the fifth (5th) Business Day following the delivery of a Call Notice (or such other date as may be mutually agreed between PubCo and PCCW) (such date, the “Call Option Closing Date”), (a) PCCW shall deliver or cause to be delivered to PubCo one or more payment references for US$ CHATS (or such other payment references mutually agreed between PubCo and PCCW) in connection with the payment of the Call Option Note Amount to PubCo’s designated bank account (details of which shall be provided by PubCo to PCCW in writing at least three (3) Business Days before the Call Option Closing Date). (b) PubCo shall (i) issue and deliver to PCCW a Call Option Note in favour of PCCW payable in the principal amount of the Call Option Note Amount, together with a certified copy of the register of holders of the Call Option Notes as at such Call Option Closing Date, and (ii) issue and deliver to PCCW such number of Class A Ordinary Shares as determined in accordance with Section 2.1(b), and cause such Class A Ordinary Shares to be registered in book entry form and registered in PubCo’s share register or register of members (as applicable) in PCCW’s name. 3.3 The Class A Ordinary Shares issued to PCCW upon any exercise of the Call Option shall: (a) be credited as fully paid, (b) have the rights set out in the PubCo Charter relating to Class A Ordinary Shares; and (c) rank pari passu in all respects with those Class A Ordinary Shares in issue on the Call Option Closing Date. 3.4 No fractions of a Class A Ordinary Share shall be issued on the exercise of the Call Option. If, by reason of any provisions in this Agreement, PCCW would otherwise be entitled, upon the exercise of the Call Option, to receive a fractional interest in a Class A Ordinary Share, PubCo shall, upon such exercise, round down the number of the Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued to PCCW to the nearest whole number. 3.5 Each of the Class A Ordinary Shares acquired by PCCW (or its permitted transferees) pursuant to this Agreement during the Lock-Up Period (as defined in the Company Shareholders Support Agreement) shall be subject to the lock-up restrictions and other provisions of the Company Shareholders Support Agreement.

Payment of the purchase price for such Shares shall be made in accordance with Paragraph 9 of the Plan. The Company shall deliver such Shares as soon as practicable after the notice shall be received, provided, however, that the Company may delay issuance of such Shares until completion of any action or obtaining of any consent, which the Company deems necessary under any applicable law (including, without limitation, state securities or “blue sky” laws). The Shares as to which the Option shall have been so exercised shall be registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the person so exercising the Option (or, if the Option shall be exercised by the Participant and if the Participant shall so request in the notice exercising the Option, shall be registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Participant and another person jointly, with right of survivorship) and shall be delivered as provided above to or upon the written order of the person exercising the Option. In the event the Option shall be exercised, pursuant to Section 4 hereof, by any person other than the Participant, such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person to exercise the Option. All Shares that shall be purchased upon the exercise of the Option as provided herein shall be fully paid and nonassessable.
