Article 20 Special Arrangements
35

20.1 Patent Maintenance
The Company shall be responsible for the costs of maintaining its patents, including existing and future sublicensed technology.
20.2 Pre-emptive Right
After the completion of this transaction, if the Company increases capital or issues new shares before its listing filing, each Shareholder has the right to subscribe for the Company's new series of capital increase on the same conditions and in accordance with the proportion of each Shareholder's capital contribution to the Company before the capital increase or issuance of new shares, except for the issue of new shares for the purpose of employee equity incentives.
The Company shall, at least sixty (60) days prior to the proposed capital increase or issue of new shares, give each of the Company's Shareholders a written notice of the proposed capital increase or issue of new shares (the "Proposed Capital Increase Notice"), setting out (i) the amount, type and terms of the proposed capital increase; (ii) the consideration that the Company can receive after implementation of the proposed capital increase.
If each Party elects to exercise the pre-emptive right within twenty (20) days of receipt of the Proposed Capital Increase Notice (the "Subscription Period"), it shall submit a written notice to the Company (the "Exercise Notice") setting out the amount of the proposed capital increase that it intends to purchase. If any Shareholder of the Company fails to submit the Exercise Notice within the Subscription Period, it is deemed that such party (“Unsubscribing Shareholder”) has waived the exercise of the preemptive rights in relation to the proposed capital increase. The Company shall, within three (3) days after the expiration of the Subscription Period, notify other investors who have exercised their pre-emptive rights in full (“Subscribing Shareholders”) in writing of the Unsubscribing Shareholders’ failure to exercise their pre-emptive rights. Subscribing Shareholders may submit a written notice (“Second Subscription Notice”) to the Company within seven (7) days after receipt of the Company’s written notice (“Second Subscription Period”) confirming the purchase of the proposed capital increase unsubscribed by the Unsubscribing Shareholder ( "Unsubscribed Proposed Capital Increase"). If two or more Subscribing Shareholders reply in writing to the Company to continue the subscription, they shall purchase the Unsubscribed Proposed Capital Increase in proportion to their respective capital contributions. If the Subscribing Shareholders fail to submit a Second Subscription Notice to the Company within the Second Subscription Period, they shall be deemed to have waived purchase of the Unsubscribed Proposed Capital Increase.

20.3.1 If the Company increases its registered capital within [24] months after the signing of this Contract, and new investors subscribe for the Company's newly increased registered capital (the "Subsequent Financing") at a price per share lower than the Investors’ Investment Unit Price, New Investors have the right to require the Company to undertake anti-dilution obligations to them so that the New Investors obtain additional equity (“Compensation Equity”). The Compensation Equity shall be calculated and determined in accordance with the generalized weighted average method so that its investment unit price is consistent with the new issue price.
20.3.2 In order to obtain Compensation Equity, the Company shall actively promote the performance and implementation of the above-mentioned anti-dilution obligations in Article 20.3.1. The Company may choose one of the following methods to facilitate the New Investors to obtain Compensation Equity:
(a)To the extent permitted by the current applicable law, the Company shall issue additional equity to the New Investors at a price not lower than the nominal value of the registered capital (for the avoidance of doubt, the subscription price paid by the New Investors for
36

subscription of such newly increased registered capital shall be reimbursed by the Company); or
(b)To the extent permitted by the current applicable law, the Company will pay cash compensation directly to the New Investors. The amount of cash compensation is: the equivalent cash amount of the capital contribution corresponding to the difference between the equity to be obtained by the New Investors which is adjusted according to the consideration paid by the new investors who have subscribed for the new registered capital of the Subsequent Financing and the equity of the Company that the new investors have acquired through this capital increase.
20.3.3 Exceptions to Anti-dilution Rights
Issue of shares under the following circumstances is not subject to anti-dilution rights: (i) issue of new shares or increase of registered capital in accordance with the employee stock incentive plan approved by the board of directors; (ii) adjustment due to stock splits, dividend distributions, recapitalizations and similar transactions; (iii) any acquisition transaction of the Company in which the Company issues shares as consideration.
