(b) If and to the extent Horizon determines after the date hereof, after prior consultation with MBKP, that it would be beneficial for one or more additional sponsors to provide additional equity capital for the consummation of the Transactions, each such additional sponsor (a “New Sponsor”) shall (i) execute an adherence agreement to this Agreement in a form mutually agreed by MBKP and Horizon, (ii) execute an equity commitment letter and limited guarantee in substantially the form as the Equity Commitment Letters and Limited Guarantees in respect of the relevant portion of the equity commitment to be provided by such New Sponsor, and upon its execution of such documents, such New Sponsor shall become a “Sponsor”, an “Investor” and a “Party” for purposes of this Agreement, and Exhibit A shall be updated to reflect the Investor Equity Commitment of each Investor, after giving effect to the equity commitment of such New Sponsor.
(c) If and to the extent Horizon determines after the date hereof, after prior consultation with MBKP, that it would be beneficial for one or more additional shareholders of the Company to contribute its Shares to Holdco in exchange for newly issued shares of Holdco, each such additional shareholder of the Company (a “New Rollover Shareholder”) shall (A) execute an adherence agreement to this Agreement in a form mutually agreed by MBKP and Horizon, (B) execute a contribution and support agreement in substantially the form as the Contribution and Support Agreement in respect of the relevant portion of the equity commitment to be provided by such New Rollover Shareholder, and upon its execution of such documents, such New Rollover Shareholder shall become a “Rollover Shareholder”, an “Investor” and a “Party” for purposes of this Agreement, and Exhibit A shall be updated to reflect the Investor Equity Commitment of each Investor, after giving effect to the equity commitment of such New Rollover Shareholder.
1.3 Required Information. Each of the Investors, on behalf of itself and its respective Affiliates, agrees to promptly provide to Parent (consistent with the timing required by the Merger Agreement or applicable Law, as applicable) any information about such Party (or its Affiliates) that Parent reasonably determines upon the advice of outside legal counsel is required to be included in (i) the Proxy Statement, (ii) the Schedule 13E-3 or (iii) any other filing or notification with any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions, including the Merger, this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letters, the Limited Guarantees, the Contribution and Support Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement to which it is a party relating to the Transactions. Each of the Investors shall reasonably cooperate with Parent in connection with the preparation of the foregoing documents to the extent such documents relate to such Investor (or its Affiliates). Each of the Investors agrees to permit the Company to publish and disclose in the Proxy Statement (including all documents filed with the SEC in accordance therewith), its and its respective Affiliates’ identity and beneficial ownership of the ordinary shares, ADSs or other equity securities of the Company and the nature of such Party’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letters, the Limited Guarantee, the Contribution and Support Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement to which it (or their respective Affiliate) is a party relating to the Transactions, to the extent required by applicable Law or the SEC (or its staff) or by mutual agreement between the Company and Parent. Each of the Investors hereby represents and warrants to Parent as to itself and its Affiliates, as applicable, that, solely with respect to any information supplied by such Party in writing pursuant to this Section 1.3, none of such information contained or incorporated by reference in the Proxy Statement will at the time of the mailing of the Proxy Statement to the shareholders of the Company, at the time of the Shareholders’ Meeting, or at the time of any amendments thereof or supplements thereto, and none of such information supplied or to be supplied by such Investor for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Schedule 13E-3 to be filed with the SEC concurrently with each filing of the Proxy Statement will, at the time of such filing with the SEC, or at the time of filing with the SEC any amendments thereof or supplements thereto, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If required under applicable Law or requested by applicable Governmental Authorities following the time that all of the relevant facts and circumstances of a Party’s involvement in the Transactions are provided to such Governmental Authorities and such Party has had a reasonable amount of time (taking into consideration the status of the applicable Governmental Authority’s clearance of other related documents and filings relating to the Transactions, such as the Proxy Statement) to present and explain its positions with the applicable Governmental Authority, such Party agrees to join (and to cause its Affiliates to join) as a filing party to any Schedule 13E-3 filing discussed in the previous sentence.
1.4 Consummation of the Transactions.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Parties agrees and undertakes to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or thereby.
(b) In the event that the Closing Conditions are satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and this Agreement, and Parent and Merger Sub are obligated to consummate the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, all Investors other than any Failing Investor (the “Closing Investors”) acting unanimously shall have the right to (i) direct Holdco, Midco and Parent, as applicable, to enforce the obligations of such Failing Investor under its Equity Commitment Letter or the Contribution and Support Agreement, as applicable, and/or (ii) terminate the participation in the Transactions of such Failing Investor; provided that such termination shall not affect the rights or remedies of the Closing Investors against such Failing Investor with respect to such breach or threatened breach. If the Closing Investors terminate a Failing Investor’s participation in the Transactions pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, MBKP shall have the right (but not the obligation) to provide equity financing for the Transactions to replace the amount of such Failing Investor’s Investor Equity Commitment (“Replacement Equity”) (provided that MBKP’s Replacement Equity shall not exceed an amount that, together with MBKP’s Investor Equity Commitment, would result in MBKP holding more than 41.0% of the issued and outstanding equity interests or more than 31.5% of the aggregate voting power in Holdco on a fully-diluted basis as of the Closing without the prior written consent of Horizon (which consent shall be provided by Horizon in the event that Replacement Equity in excess of such amount is required to consummate the Merger and no source of alternative capital is readily available)). To the extent MBKP elects not to or cannot provide Replacement Equity in an aggregate amount equal to such Failing Investor’s Investor Equity Commitment, the Closing Investors acting unanimously may offer one or more other Closing Investors or new investors the opportunity to provide Replacement Equity in an amount equal to the shortfall. A “Failing Investor” is any Investor that (A) breaches its obligation under the Equity Commitment Letter of such Investor to fund the Equity Commitment (as defined therein) or asserts in writing such Investor’s unwillingness to fund such Equity Commitment, or (B) breaches its obligation, if any, under the Contribution and Support Agreement to contribute its Shares to Holdco or asserts in writing such Investor’s unwillingness to perform such obligation.

A “Defaulting Party” is an Investor whose failure to perform its obligation under its Equity Commitment Letter (if any), the Contribution and Support Agreement (if party thereto) and/or this Agreement results in the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 8.02(a), 8.03(a) or Section 8.03(b) thereof.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereby consent to and agree that in addition to any recourse to arbitration as set out in this Section 4.6, any Party may, to the extent permitted under the Laws of the jurisdiction where application is made, seek an interim injunction from a court or other authority with competent jurisdiction and, notwithstanding that this Agreement is governed by the Laws of Hong Kong, a court or authority hearing an application for injunctive relief may apply the procedural Law of the jurisdiction where the court or other authority is located in determining whether to grant the interim injunction. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.6(b) is only applicable to the seeking of interim injunctions and does not restrict the application of Section 4.6(a) in any way.
4.7 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties would be irreparably injured by a breach of this Agreement by it and that money damages alone are an inadequate remedy for actual or threatened breach of this Agreement. Accordingly, each Party shall be entitled to specific performance or injunctive or other equitable relief (without posting a bond or other security) to enforce or prevent any violations of any provision of this Agreement, in addition to all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity to such Party, including the right to claim money damages for breach of any provision of this Agreement.
4.8 Other Agreements. This Agreement, together with the Equity Commitment Letters, the Limited Guarantees and the Contribution and Support Agreement and the other agreements referenced herein, constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and statements, both written and oral, among the parties hereto or any of their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter contained herein except for such agreements as are referenced herein which shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms except as being expressly amended, clarified and supplemented herein. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the other agreements as are referenced herein, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.
4.9 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any rights, obligations or any performance arising under or relating to this Agreement may be assigned or delegated by any Party voluntarily or involuntarily, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of each of the other Parties, except that this Agreement may be assigned by a Party to its Affiliate; provided that the Party making such assignment shall not be released from its obligations hereunder. Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 4.9 shall be void.
4.10 Interpretation. The Section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. The words such as “herein,” “hereof,” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear unless the context requires otherwise. The word “including,” or any variation thereof means “including, without limitation” and shall not be construed to limit any general statement that it follows to the specific or similar items or matters immediately following it. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” References to “day” shall mean a calendar day unless otherwise indicated as a “Business Day.”
4.11 Notice. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing in the English language and shall be deemed duly given (a) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, or if by facsimile or e-mail, upon written confirmation of receipt by facsimile or e-mail, or (b) on the first Business Day following the date of dispatch if delivered utilizing a next-day service by a recognized international next-day courier.
