The Company and the Joint Global Coordinators may agree on the price at which the International Offer Shares will be offered at a level higher than that of the Hong Kong Offer Shares if (a) the Hong Kong dollar equivalent of the closing trading price of the ADSs of the Company on the Nasdaq on the last trading day on or before the Price Determination Date were to exceed the maximum Public Offer Price as stated in the Hong Kong Prospectus and/or (b) the Company and the Joint Global Coordinators believe that it is in the best interest of the Company as a listed company to set the International Offer Price at a level higher than the maximum Public Offer Price based on the level of interest expressed by professional and institutional investors during the book-building process. If the International Offer Price is set at or lower than the maximum Public Offer Price, the Public Offer Price must be set at such price which is equal to the International Offer Price. In no circumstances will the Public Offer Price be set above the maximum Public Offer Price as stated in the Hong Kong Prospectus or the International Offer Price. If the Company and the Joint Global Coordinators reach agreement on the said prices, which is expected to be agreed by August 6, 2021, then such agreed prices shall represent the International Offer Price and Public Offer Price for the purposes of the Global Offering and for this Agreement and the parties shall record the agreed price by executing the Price Determination Agreement. If no such agreement is reached and the Price Determination Agreement is not signed by August 10, 2021, the provisions of Clause 2.4 shall apply.

2.6.

Reduction of number of Offer Shares: The Joint Global Coordinators (for themselves and on behalf of the Underwriters) may, where considered appropriate, based on the level of interest expressed by prospective investors during the book-building process in respect of the International Offering, and with the consent of the Company, reduce the number of Offer Shares initially offered in the Global Offering that stated in the Hong Kong Prospectus at any time prior to the morning of the Acceptance Date, in which event the Company shall, as soon as practicable following the decision to make such reduction and, in any event, not later than the morning of the Acceptance Date, cause a notice of the reduction in the number of Offer Shares initially offered in the Global Offering to be published on the website of the Stock Exchange at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xx and on the website of our Company at xx.xxxxxxx.xxx and comply with the Laws applicable to that reduction.

In the event of such reallocation, the number of Offer Shares available under the International Offering and the respective International Offering Underwriting Commitments of the International Underwriters may be reduced in such manner and proportions as the Joint Global Coordinators may in their sole and absolute discretion determine and the Hong Kong Underwriters will not be entitled to the underwriting commission referred to in Clause 6.1 in respect of the Offer Shares reallocated to the Hong Kong Public Offering;

4.11.2

if the Hong Kong Public Offering Over-Subscription represents a subscription of (i) 15 times or more but less than 50 times, (ii) 50 times or more but less than 100 times, or (iii) 100 times or more, of the number of the Hong Kong Offer Shares initially available for subscription under the Hong Kong Public Offering, then Offer Shares shall be reallocated to the Hong Kong Public Offering from

In each of the above cases, the number of Offer Shares available under the International Offering and the respective International Offering Underwriting Commitments of the International Underwriters shall be reduced accordingly and the Hong Kong Underwriters will not be entitled to the underwriting commission referred to in Clause 6.1 in respect of the Offer Shares reallocated to the Hong Kong Public Offering.

4.12.

Reallocation from the Hong Kong Public Offering to the International Offering: If a Hong Kong Public Offering Under-Subscription shall occur, the Joint Global Coordinators, in their sole and absolute discretion, may (but shall have no obligation to) reallocate all or any of the Unsold Hong Kong Offer Shares from the Hong Kong Public Offering to the International Offering and make available such reallocated Offer Shares as additional International Offer Shares to satisfy demand under the International Offering. In the event of such reallocation, the number of Unsold Hong Kong Offer Shares and the respective Hong Kong Public Offering Underwriting Commitments of the Hong Kong Underwriters shall be reduced in such manner and proportions as the Joint Global Coordinators may in their sole and absolute discretion determine. The Hong Kong Underwriters will not be entitled to the underwriting commission referred to in Clause 6.1 in respect of the Offer Shares reallocated to the International Offering. For the avoidance of doubt, any Unsold Hong Kong Offer Shares reallocated from the Hong Kong Public Offering to the International Offering shall for all purposes (including any fee arrangements) be deemed to be International Offer Shares and will be dealt with in accordance with the terms of the International Underwriting Agreement.

4.13.

Hong Kong Underwriters’ obligations cease: All obligations and liabilities of the Hong Kong Underwriters under this Agreement will cease following payment by or on behalf of the Hong Kong Underwriters in accordance with Clause 4.9 or Clause ‎4.10 or upon a Hong Kong Public Offering Over-Subscription having occurred (save in respect of any antecedent breaches under this Agreement).

12.3.

Conduct of claims: If any Proceeding is instituted involving any Indemnified Party in respect of which the indemnity provided for in this Clause ‎12 may apply, such Indemnified Party shall, subject to any restrictions imposed by any Law or obligation of confidentiality, promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the institution of such Proceeding, provided, however, that the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability which such Indemnifying Party may have to any Indemnified Party under this Clause 12 or otherwise. The Indemnifying Party may participate at its expense in the defense of such Proceeding including appointing counsel at its expense to act for it in such Proceeding; provided, however, that counsel to the Indemnifying Party shall not (except with the prior written consent of any Indemnified Parties) also be counsel to the Indemnified Party.

of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could be or could have been a party and indemnity could be or could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent judgement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party. Any settlement or compromise by any Indemnified Party, or any consent by any Indemnified Party to the entry of any judgment, in relation to any Proceeding shall be without prejudice to, and without (other than any obligations imposed on it by law) any accompanying obligation or duty to mitigate the same in relation to, any Loss it may recover from, or any Proceeding it may take against, the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement or compromise by any Indemnified Party of, or any judgment consented to by any Indemnified Party with respect to, any pending or threatened Proceeding, whether effected with or without the consent of such Indemnifying Party, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement, compromise or consent judgment.

12.5.1 not be entitled to recover any amount from any Indemnified Party which, in the absence of such exclusion or limitation, the Indemnifying Party would not have been entitled to recover from such Indemnified Party; and

12.5.2 indemnify the Indemnified Parties in respect of any increased liability to any third party which would not have arisen in the absence of such exclusion or limitation; and

12.5.3 take such other action as the Indemnified Parties may require to ensure that the Indemnified Parties are not prejudiced as a consequence of such agreement or arrangement.

12.6.

Costs: For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnity under this Clause ‎12 shall cover all costs, charges, fees and expenses which any Indemnified Party may suffer, incur or pay in disputing, investigating, responding to, defending, settling or compromising, or enforcing any settlement, compromise or judgment obtained with respect to, any Losses or any Proceedings to which the indemnity may relate and in establishing its right to indemnification under this Clause ‎12.

12.7.

Payment on demand: All amounts subject to indemnity under this Clause ‎12 shall be paid by an Indemnifying Party as and when they are incurred within 30 (thirty) Business Days of a written notice demanding payment being given to such Indemnifying Party by or on behalf of the relevant Indemnified Party.

12.8.

Payment free from counterclaims/set-offs: All payments made by an Indemnifying Party under this Clause ‎12 shall be made gross, free of any right of counterclaim or set off and without deduction or withholding of any kind, other than any deduction or withholding required by any Law. If an Indemnifying Party makes a deduction under this Clause ‎12, the sum due from such Indemnifying Party shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of any deduction or withholding, the relevant Indemnified Party which is entitled to such payment receives a sum equal to the sum it would have received had no deduction or withholding been made.

12.9.

Taxation: If a payment under this Clause ‎12 will be or has been subject to Taxation, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the relevant Indemnified Party on demand the amount (after taking into account any Taxation payable in respect of the amount and treating for these purposes as payable any Taxation that would be payable but for a relief, clearance, deduction or credit) that will ensure that the relevant Indemnified Party receives a net sum equal to the sum it would have received had the payment not been subject to Taxation.
