After the preferential liquidation payment to the Investor is satisfied, the Investor (deemed to have been converted into an ordinary shareholder of the Cayman Company) and the Founders shall have the right to participate in the distribution of the remaining assets in proportion to their respective shareholdings in the Cayman Company. Such liquidation preference shall be terminated automatically at the time of the QIPO.

The combination or merger of the Cayman Company or the sale, leasing, licensing or other transfer of all or substantially all of its assets or technologies will be deemed as liquidation, unless the shareholders of the Cayman Company prior to such transaction become the shareholders holding more than 51% of the voting rights in the surviving company upon completion of such transaction.

2.3.3 Performance Target and Performance Compensation

The performance target for the year of 2018 is an annual net profit of no less than RMB150 million (“Performance Target 2018”).

If the net profit in 2018 is less than 80% of the Performance Target 2018 (i.e. RMB120 million), the Investor shall have the right to require the Founders to pay a cash compensation to the Investor as follows, within thirty (30) days upon issuance of the annual audit report 2018 (no later than April 30, 2019).The cash compensation is calculated as follows:

Cash compensation in 2018 = transaction price actually paid by the Investor * (1- net profit in 2018/net profit target in 2018).

If the Founders fail to pay the foregoing cash compensation to the Investor, the Investor shall have the right to require the Founders to provide compensation in shares, and the Founders shall transfer shares to the Investor at a nominal price. If any regulatory authority raises an objection to such equity transfer price in the approval process, the nominal price separately agreed upon by the Parties shall apply, and the taxes and fees arising therefrom shall be paid by the Founders.

Shares required to be transferred by the Founders = number of shares then held by the Investor * (net profit target in 2018/net profit in 2018 - 1).
