<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are a leading carrier-neutral data center service provider in China. We focus on developing and operating high-performance data centers. Our
facilities are strategically located in China's primary economic hubs where demand for high-performance data center services is concentrated. We also build-to-suit and operate data centers at other
locations selected by our customers in order to fulfill their broader requirements. Our data centers are designed and configured as high-performance data centers with large net floor area and power
capacity, high power density and efficiency, and multiple redundancy across all critical systems. We are carrier and cloud neutral, which enables our customers to access all the major PRC
telecommunications networks, as well as the largest PRC and global public clouds which we host in many of our facilities. We offer colocation and managed services, including direct private connection
to leading public clouds, an innovative service platform for managing hybrid clouds and, where required, the resale of public cloud services. Our innovative and unique platform of interconnected data
centers enables cloud service providers to expand in a flexible way in their key markets, and also enables enterprises to deploy their hybrid clouds in close proximity to the networked nodes of
leading public clouds. We have a 20-year track record of service delivery, successfully fulfilling the requirements of some of the largest and most demanding customers for outsourced data center
services in China. As of September&nbsp;30, 2020, we had an aggregate net floor area of 279,618 sqm in service, 95.8% of which was committed by customers, and an aggregate net floor area of 135,871
sqm under construction, 65.9% of which was pre-committed by customers, in each case excluding joint venture data centers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
believe the market for high-performance data center services in China is experiencing strong growth. Demand is driven rapid growth in the volume of data created, transmitted,
processed and stored as a result of the accelerating trend of digital transformation and the rising adoption of new technologies such as cloud computing, 5G, artificial intelligence, big data, machine
learning, blockchain internet of things, augmented and virtual reality, e-payments and digital currency. Demand is also driven by PRC government policies which consistently and actively support
technology-driven development and the growth of the digital economy. Recently, the PRC government has promoted the concept of "new infrastructure" which includes, among other things, largescale data
centers, artificial
intelligence and industrial internet. Such policy orientation is ushering in new waves of investment at all levels of the economy, which we believe will give rise to numerous opportunities we can take
advantage of in the years to come. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To
satisfy such demand requires data centers which are largescale, both in terms of net floor area and power capacity, highly reliable in terms of uptime, and highly efficient in terms
of power usage. With increasing scale, it has become increasingly challenging to source, develop and operate new facilities that meet the required standard, in particular to secure suitable land and
buildings which can be developed or converted into data center facilities and to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals and power supply in China's primary economic hubs where demand is
concentrated. As a result, we believe that there is a relative scarcity of high-performance data center capacity in these areas. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
platform of interconnected data centers and secured expansion capacity is strategically located to address this growing demand. We develop and operate our data centers predominantly
in and around Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Chengdu and Chongqing, the primary financial, commercial, industrial and communications hubs in each region of China. We refer to the
areas in and around these hubs as Tier&nbsp;1 markets. Our customers typically use our data centers in Tier&nbsp;1 markets to house their mission-critical, latency-sensitive data and applications.
Our data center locations provide convenient access for our customers and, furthermore, the extensive multi-carrier telecommunications networks in these markets enable our customers to enhance the
performance and lower the cost of connectivity to our facilities. In the past, our data centers were mainly clustered in key urban districts within each Tier&nbsp;1 market in accordance with
customer preference. More recently, in order to keep pace with demand and overcome the challenge of creating new supply, we are developing </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>more
data centers at strategic locations on the outer edge of these markets, including on campuses where we can expand capacity in multiple phases. These outer edge developments, which we still
consider Tier&nbsp;1 markets, enable our hyperscale customers to fulfill their requirement for larger deployments of IT capacity on a single site and to upscale over time, while remaining within
acceptable parameters for network latency. In addition to our presence in Tier&nbsp;1 markets, we build-to-suit and operate our own data centers and joint venture data centers at other locations
selected by our customers in order to house their offline and less critical data and applications in lower cost areas where, at times, renewable energy sources are also accessible. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;From
our inception, we have built up our own in-house data center design capability, which we believe is unparalleled in the industry. We were one of the first movers in developing
high-performance data centers in China, anticipating the trend for IT to become increasingly mission-critical, and then in combining high availability with larger net floor area and power capacity to
meet the unprecedented requirements of hyperscale cloud service providers and large internet companies under the wholesale model. Our data centers are largescale, highly reliable and highly efficient
facilities that provide a flexible, modular and secure operating environment in which our customers can house, power and cool
the computer systems and networking equipment that support their mission-critical IT. We install high power density (which refers to the ratio of power capacity to net floor area) and optimize power
usage efficiency, which enables our customers to deploy their IT systems more efficiently and reduce their operating and capital costs. As a result of our advanced data center design, high technical
specifications and robust operating procedures, we are able to make service level commitments related to service availability and other key metrics that meet our customers' required standards. Within
our data centers, we have also developed an innovative service platform to assist our enterprise customers to integrate and control every aspect of their hybrid cloud computing environment across
their private servers and one or more public cloud service providers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of September&nbsp;30, 2020, we served 695 customers, including PRC and global hyperscale cloud service providers and large internet companies, a diverse community of financial
institutions, telecommunications carriers and IT service providers and large domestic private sector and multinational corporations, many of which are leaders in their respective industries. We host
the largest public cloud platforms operating in China, some of which are present in multiple GDS data centers. Agreements with our hyperscale cloud service provider and large internet customers
generally have terms of three to ten years, while agreements with our financial institution and enterprise customers typically have terms of one to five years. </FONT></P>

or six, of our directors; and (ii)&nbsp;any change to our articles of association that would adversely affect the rights of Class&nbsp;B shareholders. With respect to any other matters
at general meetings of our shareholders, each Class&nbsp;A ordinary share is entitled to one vote, and each Class&nbsp;B ordinary share is entitled to one vote. Class&nbsp;B ordinary shares are
convertible into Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares, and will automatically convert into Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares under certain circumstances. Any Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares which Class&nbsp;B
shareholders acquire will be converted into Class&nbsp;B ordinary shares. See "Description of Share Capital&#151;Ordinary Shares&#151;Conversion" of our Registration Statement on
Form&nbsp;F-1 originally filed with the SEC on October&nbsp;4, 2016, as amended (File No.&nbsp;333-213951). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Voting
at any meeting of shareholders is by way of a poll, unless the chairman allows a vote by show of hands on a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative
matter. Procedural and administrative matters are those that are not on the agenda of the general meeting and relate to the chairman's duties to maintain the orderly conduct of the meeting or allow
the business of the meeting
to be properly and effectively dealt with, while affording all shareholders a reasonable opportunity to express their views. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant
to our amended articles of association the following matters will be subject to ordinary resolution of the shareholders, with Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares and Class&nbsp;B
ordinary shares each being entitled to one vote per share: (i)&nbsp;the election of two independent directors nominated by our nominating and corporate governance committee; (ii)&nbsp;any
allotment or issuance of any of our shares or securities (in any 12-month period, whether in a single transaction or a series of transactions) equal to 10% or more of our share capital, or 10% or more
of our voting power, prior to such allotment or issuance (without regard to any exemption from shareholder approval available under the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules); and (iii)&nbsp;any disposition of
all, or 10% or more, of our undertakings or assets, as defined in our amended articles of association. </FONT></P>

to the abovementioned matters at general meetings of shareholders with respect to which Class&nbsp;B ordinary shares are entitled to 20 votes per share, an ordinary resolution
to be passed by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of votes attached to the ordinary shares cast in a general meeting, while a special resolution requires the
affirmative vote of no less than 75% of votes cast attached to the ordinary shares. A special resolution will be required for important matters such as a change of name or making changes to our
memorandum and articles of association. </FONT></P>

not require that our VIE entities as it relates to VIE entities be owned or controlled by PRC nationals or entities; (iii)&nbsp;the PRC law no longer requires the conduct of the businesses carried
out, or contemplated to be carried out, by us in the PRC, be owned or controlled by PRC nationals or entities; (iv)&nbsp;the promulgation of the Foreign Investment Law as it relates to VIE entities
is abandoned by the relevant authorities in the PRC; or (v)&nbsp;the relevant authorities in the PRC approve our VIE structure without the need for our VIE entities to be controlled by PRC nationals
or entities; provided, however, that the Class&nbsp;B ordinary shares shall not be automatically converted upon ceasing to constitute five per cent (5%) of our issued and outstanding share capital
on an as-converted basis if 75% of the board of directors resolve that such automatic conversion shall, in their opinion, result in our failing to comply with any applicable foreign ownership
restrictions under PRC law. Class&nbsp;B shareholders may elect to convert any or all of their Class&nbsp;B ordinary shares into Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares. Each Class&nbsp;B ordinary share

General Meetings of Shareholders  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shareholders' meetings may be convened by a majority of our board of directors or our chairman. Advance notice of at least ten clear days is
required for the convening of our annual general shareholders' meeting and any other general meeting of our shareholders. A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of at least two
shareholders present or by proxy, representing not less than one-third in nominal value of the total issued voting shares in our company. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cayman
Islands law provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general
meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company's articles of association. Our memorandum and articles of association allows our Class&nbsp;A shareholders (excluding STT GDC and its
controlled affiliates) holding shares representing in aggregate not less than one-third of the issued and outstanding Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares of our company (calculated excluding Class&nbsp;A
ordinary shares beneficially owned by STT GDC or its controlled affiliates), to requisition an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our directors are obliged to call such
meeting and to put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting; however, our memorandum and articles of association does not provide our shareholders with any right to put any proposals
before annual general meetings or extraordinary
general meetings not called by such shareholders. When STT GDC no longer has any director appointment right as described herein, STT GDC will be eligible for the same right to requisition a
shareholder meeting described above on the same terms as other Class&nbsp;A ordinary shareholders, where the one-third of the Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares will then be calculated based upon all
Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares issued and outstanding. STT GDC and the Class&nbsp;B shareholders also have the right to requisition a general meeting insofar as is necessary to exercise and protect
their respective nomination and appointment rights. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
merger of two or more constituent companies under Cayman Islands law requires a plan of merger or consolidation to be approved by the directors of each constituent
company and authorization by a special resolution of the members of each constituent company. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders. For this purpose a subsidiary is a
company of which at least ninety percent (90%) of the issued shares entitled to vote are owned by the parent company. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The

in certain circumstances, a dissentient shareholder of a Cayman constituent company is entitled to payment of the fair value of his shares upon dissenting to a merger or
consolidation. The exercise of appraisal rights will preclude the exercise of any other rights save for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful. </FONT></P>

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cayman
Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company's articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the
extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.
Our memorandum and articles of association permit indemnification of officers and directors for losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred in their capacities as such unless such losses or damages
arise from dishonesty or fraud which may attach to such directors or officers. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware
corporation. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and senior executive officers that provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that
provided in our memorandum and articles of association. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have
been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. </FONT></P>

Directors' Fiduciary Duties</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>.  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has
two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar
circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty
requires that a director act in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He or she must not use his or her corporate position for personal gain or
advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer
or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief
that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented
concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director of a Cayman Islands company is in the position of a fiduciary with respect to the company and therefore it is considered that he owes the
following duties to the company&#151;a duty to act bona fide in the best interests of the company, a duty not to make a profit based on his or her position as director (unless the company
permits him to do so) and a duty not to put himself in a position where the interests of the company conflict with his or her personal interest or his or her duty to a third party. A director of a
Cayman Islands company owes to the company a duty to act with skill and care. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his or her duties a greater degree of
skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his or her knowledge and experience. However, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the
required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands. </FONT></P>

to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder's voting power with respect to electing such director. As permitted under Cayman
Islands law, our articles of association do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, our shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a

Transactions with Interested Shareholders</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>.  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware corporations whereby, unless the corporation
has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an "interested
shareholder" for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or a group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of
the target's outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders
would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either
the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of
any acquisition transaction with the target's board of directors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cayman
Islands law has no comparable statute. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware business combination statute. However, although
Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, it does provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the
company and for a proper corporate purpose and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders. </FONT></P>

Under Cayman Islands law, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by a special resolution of its members or, if the company is unable to pay its debts as
they fall due, by an ordinary resolution of its members. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and
equitable to do so. </FONT></P>

the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands and our articles of association, our company may be dissolved, liquidated or wound up by the vote of holders of two-thirds of our shares

American Depositary Receipts  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., acts as the depositary for the ADSs. Each ADS represents an ownership interest in eight (8)&nbsp;Class&nbsp;A
ordinary shares deposited with the custodian, as agent of the depositary. Each ADS also represents an ownership interest in any other securities, cash or other property which may be held by the
depositary. Unless certificated American depositary receipts, or ADRs, are specifically requested by you, all ADSs are issued on the books of our
depositary in book-entry form and periodic statements will be mailed to you which reflect your ownership interest in such ADSs. In our description, references to American depositary receipts or ADRs
shall include the statements you will receive which reflect your ownership of ADSs. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
depositary's office is located at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 383 Madison Avenue, Floor 11, New York, New York 10179. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You
may hold ADSs either directly or indirectly through your broker or other financial institution. If you hold ADSs directly, by having an ADS registered in your name on the books of
the depositary, you are an ADR holder. This description assumes you hold your ADSs directly. If you hold the ADSs through your broker or financial institution nominee, you must rely on the procedures
of such broker or financial institution to assert the rights of an ADR holder described in this section. You should consult with your broker or financial institution to find out what those procedures
are. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
an ADR holder, we do not treat you as a shareholder of ours and you do not have any shareholder rights. Cayman Island law governs shareholder rights. Because the depositary or its
nominee is the shareholder of record for the Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares represented by all outstanding ADSs, shareholder rights rest with such record holder. Your rights are those of an ADR
holder. Such rights derive from the terms of the deposit agreement entered into among us, the depositary and all registered holders from time to time of ADSs issued under the deposit agreement. The
obligations of the depositary and its agents are also set out in the deposit agreement. Because the depositary or its nominee is actually the registered owner of the Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares,
you must rely on it to exercise the rights of a shareholder on your behalf. The deposit agreement and the ADSs are governed by New York law. Under the deposit agreement, as an ADR holder, you agree
that any legal suit, action or proceeding against or involving us or the depositary, arising out of or based upon the deposit agreement, the ADSs or the transactions contemplated thereby, may only be
instituted in a state or federal court in New York, New York, and you irrevocably waive any objection which you may have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding and irrevocably submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
following is a summary of what we believe to be the material terms of the deposit agreement. Notwithstanding this, because it is a summary, it may not contain all the information
that you may otherwise deem important. For more complete information, you should read the entire deposit agreement and the form of ADR which contains the terms of your ADSs. You can read a copy of the
deposit agreement which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms&nbsp;a part. You may also obtain a copy of the deposit agreement at the SEC's Public
Reference Room which is located at 100&nbsp;F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-732-0330. You may
also find the registration statement and the attached deposit agreement on the SEC's website at </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>http://www.sec.gov</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. </FONT></P>

How will I receive dividends and other distributions on the Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares underlying
my ADSs?  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may make various types of distributions with respect to our securities. The depositary has agreed that, to the extent practicable, it will
pay to you the cash dividends or other distributions it or the custodian receives on shares or other deposited securities, after converting any cash received into U.S. dollars (if it determines such
conversion may be made on a reasonable basis) and, in all cases, making any necessary deductions provided for in the deposit agreement. The depositary may utilize a division, branch or affiliate of
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to direct, manage and/or execute any public and/or private sale of securities under the deposit agreement. Such division, branch and/or affiliate may charge the depositary a
fee in connection with such sales, which fee is considered an expense of the depositary. You will receive these distributions in proportion to the number of underlying securities that your ADSs
represent. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except
as stated below, the depositary will deliver such distributions to ADR holders in proportion to their interests in the following manner: </FONT></P>

basis, subject to (i)&nbsp;appropriate adjustments for taxes withheld, (ii)&nbsp;such distribution being impermissible or impracticable with respect to certain registered ADR holders, and
(iii)&nbsp;deduction of the depositary's and/or its agents' expenses in (1)&nbsp;converting any foreign currency to U.S. dollars to the extent that it determines that such conversion may be made
on a reasonable basis, (2)&nbsp;transferring foreign currency or U.S. dollars to the United States by such means as the depositary may determine to the extent that it determines that such transfer
may be made on a reasonable basis, (3)&nbsp;obtaining any approval or license of any governmental authority required for such conversion or transfer, which is obtainable at a reasonable cost and
within a reasonable time and (4)&nbsp;making any sale by public or private means in any commercially reasonable manner. If exchange rates fluctuate during a time when the depositary cannot convert a
foreign currency, you may lose some or all of the value of the distribution.  </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2>

How does the depositary issue ADSs?  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The depositary will issue ADSs if you or your broker deposit Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares or evidence of rights to receive Class&nbsp;A
ordinary shares with the custodian and pay the fees and expenses owing to the depositary in connection with such issuance. In the case of the ADSs to be issued under this prospectus, we will arrange
with the underwriters named herein to deposit such Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Class&nbsp;A
ordinary shares deposited in the future with the custodian must be accompanied by certain delivery documentation and shall, at the time of such deposit, be registered in
the name of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as depositary for the benefit of holders of ADRs or in such other name as the depositary shall direct. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
custodian will hold all deposited shares (including those being deposited by or on our behalf in connection with the offering to which this prospectus relates) for the account and to
the order of the depositary. ADR holders thus have no direct ownership interest in the Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares and only have such rights as are contained in the deposit agreement. The custodian
will also hold any additional securities, property and cash received on or in substitution for the deposited Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares. The deposited Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares and any such
additional items are referred to as "deposited securities". </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon
each deposit of Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares, receipt of related delivery documentation and compliance with the other provisions of the deposit agreement, including the payment of

the number of ADSs to which such person is entitled. All of the ADSs issued will, unless specifically requested to the contrary, be part of the depositary's direct registration system, and a

receive them in the manner and on or before the date specified. The depositary will try, as far as is practical, subject to the provisions of and governing the underlying Class&nbsp;A ordinary
shares or other deposited securities, to vote or to have its agents vote the Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares or other deposited securities as you instruct. The depositary will only vote or attempt to
vote as you instruct. Holders are strongly encouraged to forward their voting instructions to the depositary as soon as possible. Voting instructions will not be deemed to be received until such time
as the ADR department responsible for proxies and voting has received such instructions notwithstanding that such instructions may have been physically received by the depositary prior to such time.
The depositary will not itself exercise any voting discretion. Furthermore, neither the depositary nor its agents are responsible for any failure to carry out any voting instructions, for the manner
in which any vote is cast or for the effect of any vote. Notwithstanding anything contained in the deposit agreement or any ADR, the depositary may, to the extent not prohibited by law or regulations,
or by the requirements of the stock exchange on which the ADSs are listed, in lieu of distribution of the materials provided to the depositary in connection with any meeting of, or solicitation of
consents or proxies from, holders of deposited securities, distribute to
the registered holders of ADRs a notice that provides such holders with, or otherwise publicizes to such holders, instructions on how to retrieve such materials or receive such materials upon request
(i.e.,&nbsp;by reference to a website containing the materials for retrieval or a contact for requesting copies of the materials). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have advised the depositary that under the Cayman Islands law and our constituent documents, each as in effect as of the date of the deposit agreement, voting at any meeting of
shareholders is by show of hands unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the results of the show of hands) demanded. In the event that voting on any resolution or matter is conducted on a
show of hands basis in accordance with our constituent documents, the depositary will refrain from voting and the voting instructions received by the depositary from holders shall lapse. The
depositary will not demand a poll or join in demanding a poll, whether or not requested to do so by holders of ADSs. There is no guarantee that you will receive voting materials in time to instruct
the depositary to vote and it is possible that you, or persons who hold their ADSs through brokers, dealers or other third parties, will not have the opportunity to exercise a right to vote. </FONT></P>

selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The depositary may collect its annual fee for depositary services by deduction from cash distributions, or by directly billing investors,

distribution exists and payment owing is not timely received by the depositary, the depositary may refuse to provide any further services to holders that have not paid those fees and expenses owing
until such fees and expenses have been paid.
At the discretion of the depositary, all fees and charges owing under the deposit agreement are due in advance and/or when declared owing by the depositary. </FONT></P>

of such sale. In either case the ADR holder remains liable for any shortfall. If any tax or governmental charge is unpaid, the depositary may also refuse to effect any registration, registration of
transfer, split-up or combination of deposited securities or withdrawal of deposited securities until such payment is made. If any tax or governmental charge is required to be withheld on any cash
distribution, the depositary may deduct the amount required to be withheld from any cash distribution or, in the case of a non-cash distribution, sell the distributed property or securities (by public
or private sale) in such amounts and in such manner as the depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay such taxes and distribute any remaining net proceeds or the balance of any such property

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may agree with the depositary to amend the deposit agreement and the ADSs without your consent for any reason. ADR holders must be given at
least 30&nbsp;days' notice of any amendment that imposes or increases any fees or charges (other than stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges, transfer or registration fees,
SWIFT, cable, telex or facsimile transmission costs, delivery costs or other such expenses), or otherwise prejudices any substantial existing right of ADR holders. Such notice need not describe in
detail the specific amendments effectuated thereby, but must identify to ADR holders a means to access the text of such amendment. If an ADR holder continues to hold an ADR or ADRs after being so
notified, such ADR holder is deemed to agree to such amendment and to be bound by the deposit agreement as so amended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any governmental body or regulatory body should
adopt new laws, rules or regulations which would require amendment or supplement of the deposit agreement or the form of ADR to ensure compliance therewith, we and the depositary may amend or
supplement the deposit agreement and the ADR at any time in accordance with such changed laws, rules or regulations, which amendment or supplement may take effect before a notice is given or within
any other period of time as required for compliance. No amendment, however, will impair your right to surrender your ADSs and receive the underlying securities, except in order to comply with

Pre-release of ADSs  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In its capacity as depositary, the depositary shall not lend shares or ADSs; provided, however, that the depositary may (i)&nbsp;issue ADSs
prior to the receipt of Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares and (ii)&nbsp;deliver Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares prior to the receipt of ADSs for withdrawal of deposited securities, including ADSs which
were issued under (i)&nbsp;above but for which shares may not have been received (each such transaction a "pre-release"). The depositary may receive ADSs in lieu of Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares
under (i)&nbsp;above (which ADSs will promptly be canceled by the depositary upon receipt by the depositary) and receive Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares in lieu of ADSs under (ii)&nbsp;above. Each
such pre-release will be subject to a written agreement whereby the person or entity (the "applicant") to whom ADSs or Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares are to be delivered (a)&nbsp;represents that at
the time of the pre-release the applicant or its customer owns the Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares or ADSs that are to be delivered by the applicant under such pre-release, (b)&nbsp;agrees to
indicate the depositary as owner of such Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares or ADSs in its records and to hold such Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares or ADSs in trust for the depositary until such
Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares or ADSs are delivered to the depositary or the custodian, (c)&nbsp;unconditionally guarantees to deliver to the depositary or the custodian, as applicable, such
Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares or ADSs, and (d)&nbsp;agrees to any additional restrictions or requirements that the depositary deems appropriate. Each such pre-release will be at all times fully
collateralized with cash, U.S. government securities or such other collateral as the depositary deems appropriate, terminable by the depositary on not more than five (5)&nbsp;business days' notice
and subject to such further indemnities and credit regulations as the depositary deems appropriate. The depositary will normally
limit the number of ADSs and Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares involved in such pre-release at any one time to thirty percent (30%) of the ADSs outstanding (without giving effect to ADSs outstanding
under (i)&nbsp;above), provided, however, that the depositary reserves the right to change or disregard such limit from time to time as it deems appropriate. The depositary may also set limits with
respect to the number of ADSs and Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares involved in pre-release with any one person on a case-by-case basis as it deems appropriate. The depositary may retain for its own
account any compensation received by it in conjunction with the foregoing. Collateral provided in connection with pre-release transactions, but not the earnings thereon, shall be held for the benefit
of the ADR holders (other than the applicant). </FONT></P>

action based on the deposit agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby may be instituted by the depositary in any competent court in the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, the People's Republic of
China and/or the United States, (ii)&nbsp;the depositary may, in its sole discretion, elect to institute any action, controversy, claim or dispute directly or indirectly based on, arising out of or
relating to the deposit agreement or the ADRs or the transactions contemplated thereby, including without limitation any question regarding its or their existence, validity, interpretation,
performance or termination, against any other party or parties to the deposit agreement (including, without limitation, against ADR holders and owners of interests in ADSs), by having the matter
referred to and finally resolved by an arbitration conducted under the terms described below, and (iii)&nbsp;the depositary may in its sole discretion require that any action, controversy, claim,
dispute, legal suit or proceeding brought against the depositary by any party or parties to the deposit agreement (including, without limitation, by ADR holders and owners of interests in ADSs) shall
be referred to and finally settled by an arbitration conducted under the terms described below. Any such arbitration shall be conducted in the English language either in New York, New York in
accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association or in Hong Kong following the arbitration rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. We are incorporated in the Cayman
Islands because of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands corporation, such as political and economic stability, an effective judicial system, a favorable tax system, the absence of
foreign exchange control or currency restrictions and the availability of professional and support services. However, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the
United States and provides protections for investors to a lesser extent. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Substantially
all of our operations are conducted in China, and substantially all of our assets are located in China. In addition, most of our directors and officers are residents of
jurisdictions other than the United States and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of
process within the United States upon
us or these persons, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the
United States or any state in the United States. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in United States courts judgments obtained in United States courts based on the civil liability provisions
of the United States federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have appointed Cogency Global&nbsp;Inc. as our agent to receive service of process with respect to any action brought against us in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York under the federal securities laws of the United States or of any state in the United States or any action brought against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in the
County of New York under the securities laws of the State of New York. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Conyers
Dill&nbsp;&amp; Pearman, our counsel as to Cayman Islands law, and King&nbsp;&amp; Wood Mallesons, our counsel as to PRC law, have advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether
the courts of the Cayman Islands or the PRC would, respectively, (1)&nbsp;recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the
civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States and (2)&nbsp;entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands or the PRC against us
or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Conyers
Dill&nbsp;&amp; Pearman has informed us that the uncertainty with regard to Cayman Islands law relates to whether a judgment obtained from the United States courts under the civil
liability provisions of the securities laws will be determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands as penal or punitive in nature. If such a determination is made, the courts of the Cayman Islands
will not recognize or enforce the judgment against a Cayman company. Because the courts of the Cayman Islands have yet to rule on whether such judgments are penal or punitive in nature, it is
uncertain whether they would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands. Conyers Dill&nbsp;&amp; Pearman has further advised us that a final and conclusive judgment in the federal or state courts of the
United States under which a sum of money is payable, other than a sum payable in respect of taxes, fines, penalties or similar charges, may be subject to enforcement proceedings as a debt in the
courts of the Cayman Islands under the common law doctrine of obligation. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, Conyers Dill&nbsp;&amp; Pearman has advised us that there is no statutory recognition in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the Cayman
Islands will generally recognize as a valid judgment, a final and conclusive judgment in personam obtained in the federal or state courts in the United States under which a sum of money is payable
(other than a sum of money payable in respect of multiple damages, taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty) and would give a judgment based thereon provided
that (i)&nbsp;such courts had proper jurisdiction over the parties subject to such judgment; (ii)&nbsp;such courts did not contravene the rules of </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;King&nbsp;&amp;
Wood Mallesons has advised us that the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedure Law. PRC courts may recognize and
enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedure Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on principles of
reciprocity between jurisdictions. King&nbsp;&amp; Wood Mallesons has advised us further that under PRC law, a foreign judgment, which does not otherwise violate basic legal principles, state
sovereignty, safety or social public interest, may be recognized and enforced by a PRC court, based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on principles of
reciprocity between jurisdictions. As there exists no treaty or other form of reciprocal arrangement between China and the United States governing the recognition and enforcement of judgments as of
the date of this registration statement, including those predicated upon the liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws, there is uncertainty on whether and on what basis a PRC
court will recognize or enforce a judgment ruled by a United States court. </FONT></P>

Sale through underwriters or dealers  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If underwriters are used in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account, including through underwriting,
purchase, security lending or repurchase agreements. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. Underwriters may sell
the securities in order to facilitate transactions in any of our other securities (described in this prospectus or otherwise), including other public or private transactions and short sales.
Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless
otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to
purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid
to dealers. The prospectus supplement will include the names of the principal underwriters the respective amount of securities underwritten, the nature of the obligation of the underwriters to take
the securities and the nature of any material relationship between an underwriter and us. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
dealers are used in the sale of securities offered through this prospectus, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at
varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. The prospectus supplement will include the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction. </FONT></P>

certain types of institutions to purchase securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the

Market making, stabilization and other transactions  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise or the shares are offered by the selling shareholders, each series of offered
securities will be a new issue and will have no established trading market. We may elect to list any series of offered securities on an exchange. Any underwriters that we and the selling shareholders
use in the sale of offered securities may make a market in such securities, but may discontinue such market making at any time without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the securities will
have a liquid trading market. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any
underwriter may also engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Rule&nbsp;104 under the Exchange Act. Stabilizing
transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Syndicate covering transactions involve
purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Penalty
bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate
covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be
in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time. </FONT></P>

Derivative transactions and hedging  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We, the selling shareholders, the underwriters or other agents may engage in derivative transactions involving the securities. These derivatives
may consist of short sale transactions and other hedging activities. The underwriters or agents may acquire a long or short position in the securities, hold or resell securities acquired and purchase
options or futures on the securities and other derivative instruments with returns linked to or related to changes in the price of the securities. In order to facilitate these derivative transactions,
we may enter into security lending or repurchase agreements with the underwriters or agents. The underwriters or agents may effect the derivative transactions through sales of the securities to the
public, including short sales, or by lending the securities in order to facilitate short sale transactions by others. The underwriters or agents may also use the securities purchased or borrowed from
us, the selling shareholders or others (or, in the case of derivatives, securities received from us or the selling shareholders in settlement of those derivatives) to directly or indirectly settle
sales of the securities or close out any related open borrowings of the securities. </FONT></P>

Electronic auctions  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We and the selling shareholders may also make sales through the Internet or through other electronic means. Since we and the selling
shareholders may from time to time elect to offer securities directly to the public, with or without the involvement of agents, underwriters or dealers, utilizing the Internet or other forms of
electronic bidding or ordering systems for the pricing and allocation of such securities, you should pay particular attention to the description of that system we will provide in a prospectus
supplement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Such
electronic system may allow bidders to directly participate, through electronic access to an auction site, by submitting conditional offers to buy that are subject to acceptance by
us, and which may directly affect the price or other terms and conditions at which such securities are sold. These bidding or ordering systems may present to each bidder, on a so-called "real-time"
basis, relevant information to assist in making a bid, such as the clearing spread at which the offering would be sold, based on the bids submitted, and whether a bidder's individual bids would be
accepted, prorated or rejected. Of course, many pricing methods can and may also be used. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon
completion of such an electronic auction process, securities will be allocated based on prices bid, terms of bid or other factors. The final offering price at which securities would
be sold and the allocation of securities among bidders would be based in whole or in part on the results of the Internet or other electronic bidding process or auction. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company's articles of association may provide indemnification of officers and directors,
except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to the public interest, such as providing indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of
committing a crime. The registrant's articles of association provide that each officer or director of the registrant shall be indemnified out of the assets of the registrant against any liability
incurred by him or her in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is given in his or her favor, or the proceedings are otherwise disposed of without any finding or
admission of any material breach of duty on his or her part, or in which he or she is acquitted or in connection with any application in which relief is granted to him or her by the court from
liability for negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the affairs of the registrant. </FONT></P>

originally filed with the SEC on October&nbsp;4, 2016, as amended (File No.&nbsp;333-213951), we have agreed to indemnify our directors and executive officers against certain liabilities and

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been

expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such

The Company shall notify Investor in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to registration of any of its&nbsp;securities, either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements relating to (i)&nbsp;any registration under Section&nbsp;2.4 or Section&nbsp;2.6 of this Agreement, (ii)&nbsp;any employee benefit plan, or (iii)&nbsp;any corporate reorganization) and will afford Investor an opportunity to include in such registration all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by it. If Investor desires to include in any such registration (and any related qualifications under blue sky laws or other compliance) and in any underwriting involved therein, all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by Investor shall within twenty (20) days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities Investor wishes to include in such registration statement. If Investor decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company,&nbsp;Investor shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.</p>

If a registration under which the Company gives notice under this Section&nbsp;2.5 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise Investor. In such event, the right of Investor&#146;s Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section&nbsp;2.5 shall be conditioned upon Investor&#146;s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Investor&#146;s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. If Investor proposes to distribute its Registrable Securities through such underwriting,&nbsp;Investor shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter(s)&nbsp;determine(s)&nbsp;in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s)&nbsp;may exclude shares from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated,&nbsp;<u>first</u>&nbsp;to the Company, and&nbsp;<u>second</u>, to each of the Shareholders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a&nbsp;<i>pro rata</i>&nbsp;basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Shareholder;&nbsp;<u>provided</u>,&nbsp;<u>however</u>, that the right of the underwriter(s)&nbsp;to exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and underwriting as described above shall be restricted so that (i)&nbsp;the number of Registrable Securities included in any such registration is not reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities for which inclusion has been requested, even if this will cause the Company to reduce the number of shares it wishes to offer; and (ii)&nbsp;all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other&nbsp;Person, including, without limitation, any Person who is an employee, officer or director of any of the Group Companies shall first be excluded from such registration and underwriting before any Registrable Securities are so excluded. If Investor disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting,&nbsp;Investor may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10)&nbsp;Business Days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. Investor and all corporations that are Affiliates of Investor shall be deemed to be a single Shareholder, and any&nbsp;<i>pro rata</i>&nbsp;reduction with respect to Investor shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such &#147;Shareholder&#148;, as defined in this sentence.</p>
