GUARANTY AGREEMENT, dated as of July 11, 2016, between XXXXXXX & CO. (the “Guarantor”) and MIZUHO BANK (CHINA), LTD., as the Facility Agent under the Facility Agreement referred to in the next paragraph acting on behalf of the Finance Parties (this “Guarantee”).

Reference is made to the RMB 990,000,000 Facility Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among XXXXXXX & CO. (SHANGHAI) COMMERCIAL CO., LTD. (the “Borrower”), Bank of America, N.A., Shanghai Branch and Mizuho Bank (China), Ltd., as joint coordinators, mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners, Mizuho Bank (China), Ltd., as Facility Agent, and the Lenders from time to time party thereto (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Facility Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Facility Agreement.

The Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Borrower pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Facility Agreement. The Guarantor acknowledges that (i) it will derive substantial benefit from the making of the Loans and (ii) the execution and delivery by the Guarantor of this Guarantee is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Facility Agreement, and the Finance Parties would not have entered into the Facility Agreement if the Guarantor had not executed and delivered this Guarantee.

Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1. GUARANTY

Section 1.1 Guaranty

The Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the Obligations. The Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it and that it will remain bound upon its guaranty notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligations. For purposes hereof, “Obligations” shall mean all of the payment obligations of the Borrower under the Facility Agreement (as the same may be amended, increased, modified, renewed or extended from time to time), in each case whether fixed, contingent, now existing or hereafter arising, created, assumed, incurred or acquired, and whether before or after the occurrence of any Event of Default under Clauses 21.6 or 21.7 of the Facility Agreement (each an “Insolvency Event”), and including all post-petition interest, funding losses and make-whole premiums, whether or not allowed as a claim in any proceeding arising in connection with an Insolvency Event.

Section 1.2 Guaranty of Payment

The Guarantor further agrees that its guaranty hereunder constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Facility Agent or any other Finance Party to any of the security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Facility Agent or any other Finance Party in favor of the Borrower or any other person.

ARTICLE 2. OBLIGATIONS NOT WAIVED

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from, and protest to the Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guaranty and notice of protest for nonpayment. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of the Facility Agent or any other Finance Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against the Borrower under the provisions of the Facility Agreement or any other Finance Documents, or otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from, any of the terms or provisions of any Finance Documents (other than this Guarantee), any other guaranty or any other agreement or (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the security held by or on behalf of the Facility Agent or any other Finance Party.

ARTICLE 3. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

ARTICLE 4. NO DISCHARGE OR DIMINISHMENT OF GUARANTY

The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Facility Agent or any other Finance Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Facility Agreement, any other Finance Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations).

ARTICLE 5. DEFENSES OF BORROWER WAIVED

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower, other than the final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. The Facility Agent and the other Finance Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Borrower, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid in cash. Pursuant to applicable law, the Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Guarantor against the Borrower, as applicable, or any security.

ARTICLE 6. AGREEMENT TO PAY; SUBORDINATION

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Facility Agent or any other Finance Party has at law or in equity against the Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower to pay, in the applicable currency required by the Facility Agreement, any Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Facility Agent in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligations in the applicable currency required by the Facility Agreement. Upon payment by the Guarantor of any sums to the Facility Agent, all rights of the Guarantor against the Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. In addition, any debt of the Borrower now or hereafter held by the Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower may repay, and the Guarantor may receive payments relating to, any such debt. Subject to the provision in the foregoing sentence, if any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such debt of the Borrower, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Finance Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Facility Agent to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents.

ARTICLE 7. INFORMATION

The Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that the Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Facility Agent nor any other Finance Party will have any duty to advise the Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.
