For the avoidance of doubt, in such case, the equity transfer shall not take effect unless and until the relevant Affiliated Company(ies) of I-Mab HK have agreed to assume all covenants, representations, obligations and responsibilities which are owed by I-Mab HK to the Investors hereunder; (ii) I-Mab HK shall not be subject to the Articles 2.1, 3.2 and 3.3 of this Agreement for the purpose of fulfilling its obligation under Article 4.3 (10) of the Investment Agreement to reduce its equity in the Company to within 30% (to the extent that the equity in the Company is sufficiently diluted at that time).
