3. Exchange Rights
3.1 Exchange Right and Exchange Price ; Mechanics of Exchange
(a) Each of the Onshore Lenders have the right, but not the obligation to exchange all or any
part of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Loans, together with accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, in a one-time exchange or, from time to time, in multiple exchanges (each, an
“Exchange”), for shares of Common Stock, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.
(b) The exchange price per share of Common Stock for each Exchange on an Exchange Date (as
defined below) shall be equal to the lower of (i) $2.46 U.S. Dollars, and (ii) an amount equal to
the Company’s Earnings Per Share multiplied by 7 (each of (i) and (ii) a potential “Exchange Price”
as the same may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with this Agreement).
(c) On any Exchange Date, the Earnings Per Share shall be the Consolidated Earnings of the
Company for 2010 derived from its audited consolidated financial statements for such fiscal year,
divided by the then total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a weighted
average fully-diluted basis (including the shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exchange
of the Loan and the Note or Notes issued and outstanding pursuant to the Notes Purchase Agreement
(using for these purposes the USD/RMB exchange rate equal to the average USD/RMB exchange rate as
published by the People’s Bank of China on the second business day prior to the Exchange Date) but
excluding any new shares issued, regardless whether issued in connection with current existing
warrants or convertible notes, or prior commitments or under Management Incentive Plans, after the
First Closing as defined in the Purchase Agreement.
(d) The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each Exchange of the Loans pursuant
to this Agreement shall be determined by dividing the then applicable Exchange Price by the
Outstanding Principal Amount and any accrued and unpaid interest to be exchanged.
(e) After giving effect to the foregoing, in lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares
to the Agent upon exchange of the Loan, the Company shall make an adjustment and make payment in
cash to the Agent.
(f) In the event that either of the Onshore Lenders elects to exchange all or any part of a
Loan for shares of Common Stock, the Agent, acting on behalf of the Onshore Lenders, shall give
notice of such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of exchange (a “Notice of
Exchange”) to the Onshore Borrower, the Company and the other Onshore Lender which Notice of
Exchange shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Outstanding Principal Amount,
accrued interest and amounts being exchanged. The date specified in the Notice of Exchange, or if
no date is specified, then the 15th day after date of the delivery of the Notice of
Exchange, shall be referred to as the “Exchange Date”. A form of Notice of Exchange to be employed
by the Agent is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.
(g) Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Exchange, the Onshore Borrower or the Company shall
deliver, or cause to be delivered, such number of Exchange Shares as determined pursuant to this
Agreement via, at the Agent’s election, (i) physical certificates, or (ii) in the event such shares
are not “restricted securities” under the Securities Act, electronically through the Depository
Trust Company or other established clearing corporation performing similar functions. In the case
of the exercise of the exchange rights set forth herein, the exchange privilege shall be deemed to
have been exercised and the Exchange Shares issuable upon such exchange shall be deemed to have
been issued upon the Exchange Date. The Onshore Lenders shall be treated for all purposes as the
beneficial holder of such shares of Common Stock, unless the Agent provides the Onshore Borrower,
the Company and the Onshore Lenders written instructions to the contrary.
3.2 Limitations on Exchange Rights
5
Notwithstanding the foregoing and other than by reason of (i) any failure of Mr. Ku Guohua to
exercise his rights to subscribe for, purchase or receive shares of Common Stock or (ii) any other
action or inaction of Mr. Ku Guohua leading to any reduction of his shareholding in the Company,
the Agent undertakes that it will not exercise any Exchange Right if, on a weighted average
fully-diluted basis:
(a) the Onshore Lenders, together with their Affiliates, would thereupon become the largest
shareholder of the Company, or
(b) the Onshore Lenders, together with their Affiliates, would thereupon have a total equity
interest in the Company that is greater than an amount that is 5% less than the shareholdings of
Mr. Ku Guohua at such time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3.2 may be, in whole or in part, waived by Mr. Ku
Guohua through his written consent.
3.3 Adjustment Events
The Exchange Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon
exchange shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events
while this exchange right remains outstanding, as follows:
(a) Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If (A) the Company effects any merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, (B) the Company effects any sale of
all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender
offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another entity) is completed pursuant to which
holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash
or property, (D) the Company consummates a stock purchase agreement or other business combination
(including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of
arrangement) with one or more persons or entities whereby such other persons or entities acquire
more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common
Stock held by such other persons or entities making or party to, or associated or affiliated with
the other persons or entities making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or other business
combination), or (E) any “person” or “group” (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections
13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or shall become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule
13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate Common Stock of the
Company (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), the Loan, as to the Outstanding Principal
Amount thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to
exchange into such proportionate number and kind of shares or other securities and property as
would have been issuable or distributable on account of such Fundamental Transaction, upon or with
respect to the securities subject to the exchange right immediately prior to such Fundamental
Transaction. The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Transactions
of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such successor or
purchaser after any such Fundamental Transaction.
(b) Reclassification, etc. If the Company at any time shall, by reclassification or
otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class
or classes, the Loan, as to the Outstanding Principal Amount thereof and accrued interest hereon,
shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to exchange for a proportionally adjusted number
of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change
with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.
(c) Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of Common Stock are
subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a
dividend is paid on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Exchange Price shall be
proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately
increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total
number of shares of
6
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.
(d) Share Issuance.
1. | So long as the Loan is outstanding, if the Company or any of its affiliates shall issue any public or private shares, convertible bonds, preference shares or other equity instruments, except for shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to its Management Incentive Plans or shares of Common Stock subject to a prior commitment by the Borrower before the effective date of this Note as described in the Disclosure Schedule (“New Shares”), prior to the conversion or payment of the Loan, for a consideration-per-share less than the Exchange Price that would be in effect at the time of such issue, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issuance, the Exchange Price shall be reduced to such other lower issue price. | ||
2. | So long as the Loan is outstanding, if the Company or any of its affiliates shall issue any public or private shares, convertible bonds, preference shares, or other equity instruments, except for shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to its Management Incentive Plans or shares of Common Stock subject to a prior commitment by the Borrower before the effective date of this Note as described in the Disclosure Schedule, prior to the conversion or payment of the Loan, for a consideration-per-share more than the Exchange Price that would be in effect at the time of such issue, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issuance, any of the Onshore Lenders shall have a preferential right to subscribe all or part of the New Shares. | ||
3. | For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security or debt instrument of the Company carrying the right to convert into New Shares, or the issuance of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Exchange Price upon the issuance of the above-described security, debt instrument, warrant, right, or option and again upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights. |
(e) If the Company at any time or from time to time, prior to the full exchange of the Loan,
shall take any action affecting its Common Stock or share capital similar to or having an effect
similar to any of the actions described in this Section 3.3, then, and in each such case,
the Exchange Price shall be adjusted in such manner as would be equitable under such circumstances.
(f) Whenever the Exchange Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.3, the Company
shall promptly mail to the Onshore Lenders a notice setting forth the Exchange Price after such
adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
3.4 Reservation
The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon exchange of
the Loan, free from all Liens, preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of
Persons other than any of the Onshore Lenders, not less than one hundred and seventy-five percent
(175%) of the aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into
account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 3.4 upon the exchange of the Loan. The Company
