(c) 2023 Performance Targets and Payments. The Original Agreement shall be amended, mutatis mutandis, to reflect the parties’ agreement that a performance payment (the “Performance Payment”) in the amount of RMB 64,000,000 based on the performance of the Acquired Companies in 2023, shall be made pursuant to similar terms and conditions as those for the forfeited Second Payment and the Third Payment, except that (X) the 2023 Profit Target shall be RMB5,500,000 and (Y) if the 2023 Actual Profit is less than the 2023 Profit Target, Sellers shall not be entitled to any portion of the Performance Payment.

 

(d) Special Post-Closing Agreements. A new Section 2.6 (e) is hereby added to read as follows:

 

“(e) Special Post-Closing Agreements.

 

(i)After the Closing, Buyer and its wholly-owned subsidiary BIMI HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT (CHONGQING) CO., LTD. (also known as BIMI HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT (CHONGQING) CO., LTD, “Direct Parent”) shall have the right to exercise a special right to sell to Sellers, all right, title and interest in and to the Shares, which constitute 100% of the outstanding equity interest in the Acquired Companies, in exchange for the return by Sellers of the 164,000 Parent Shares held by Sellers, as full and complete payment of the aggregate purchase price for the Shares, on the happening at any time of any of the following events (each a “Buyer Triggering Event”):

 

(X) if the 2023 Actual Profit is less than the 2023 Profit Target;

 

(Y) if any Governmental Authorization that is held by any Acquired Company or that otherwise relates to the business of, or any of the assets owned or used by, any Acquired Company is revoked, withdrawn, suspended, canceled, terminated, or modified, while such Acquired Company is operated or managed by either Seller; or

 

(Z) if Buyer becomes aware of any Legal Requirement or Order to which any Acquired Company, or any of the assets owned or used by any Acquired Company, may be subject, the effectiveness, amendment, implementation or enforcement of which would cause Buyer’s and Direct Parent’s acquisition, owning or operation of any Acquired Company to (A) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation of, or give any Governmental Body the right to exercise any remedy or obtain any relief under, such Legal Requirement or Order, or (B) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation of any of the terms or requirements of, or give any Governmental Body the right revoke, withdraw, suspend, cancel, terminate, or modify, any Governmental Authorization that is held by any Acquired Company or that otherwise relates to the business of, or any of the assets owned or used by, any Acquired Company.

(ii)Sellers acknowledge and agree that it is critical that all the financial statements of the Acquired Companies and supporting materials (the “Financial Materials”) be provided to Parent in a timely fashion in order for Parent to timely prepare and file periodic reports under the Exchange Act of 1934 and to be in compliance with the Legal Requirements. Sellers further acknowledge and agree that after the Closing, for as long as Sellers continue to operate and manage the Acquired Companies as executives of the Acquired Companies, the timely delivery of the Financial Materials to Parent is within Sellers’ control. As such, Sellers shall cause the delivery of the Financial Materials to Parent by the deadlines advised by Parent’s auditors (the “Deadlines”), for as long as Sellers operate and manage the Acquired Companies as executive of the Acquired Companies:

 

If Parent fails to receive the Financial Materials by any of the Deadlines, Sellers shall be deemed to have exercised a special right to buy from Direct Parent, all right, title and interest in and to the Shares, which constitute 100% of the outstanding equity interest in the Acquired Companies, in exchange for the return by Sellers of the 164,000 Parent Shares held by Sellers, as full and complete payment of the aggregate purchase price for the Shares. Parent’s failure to receive the Financial Materials by any of the Deadlines is a “Sellers Triggering Event”, which, together with the Buyer Triggering Event, shall be referred to herein individually as a “Triggering Event” or collectively the “Triggering Events”.

 

(iii)On the happening of any of the Triggering Events, Buyer and Direct Parent shall have the right to elect to (X) engage in good faith negotiations with Sellers and take necessary actions to resolve issues that led to the Triggering Events, or (Y) deliver to Sellers agreements, documents, instruments or certificates duly executed by Buyer and Direct Parent, necessary for changing the official records of all Governmental Bodies of the PRC with appropriate jurisdiction, to reflect that Sellers own, beneficially and on the record, the Shares (the “Record Change Documents”).

 

(iv)Upon receipt of the Record Change Documents from Buyer and Direct Parent, Sellers shall immediately (X) counter-sign and deliver to Buyer and Direct Parent the Record Change Documents, (Y) sign and deliver to Buyer and Direct Parent a transfer agent instruction duly signed by each Seller in substantially the form as Exhibit A, directing Parent’s transfer agent to transfer the 164,000 Parent Shares which are maintained in an electronic DRS account by Parent’s transfer agent on behalf of such Seller and (Z) execute and deliver further instruments of transfer and assignment (in addition to those explicitly required by other provisions of this Agreement) and take such other actions as Buyer and Direct Parent may reasonably request to effect and perfect the transactions contemplated herein.”

 

(e) Survival. The first sentence of Section 12.1 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

“All representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and post-Closing agreements including without limitation provisions regarding Performance Payment and Special Post-Closing Agreements (i.e. Section 2.6 (e)) in this Agreement and any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement will survive the Closing.”

(c) The 2021 and 2022 performance targets of the Acquired Companies as set forth in the Original Agreement were not met and therefore Sellers are not entitled to the Second Payment or the Third Payment. None of Buyer, Parent, Direct Parent, the Acquired Companies, nor any of their Related Parties shall have any debt, obligation or liability to either Seller or their respective Related Parties in connection with or resulting from the forfeiture of the Second Payment or the Third Payment. Each Seller, on behalf of himself and his respective Related Parties, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably releases each of Buyer, Parent, Direct Parent, the Acquired Companies and their respective Related Parties from any and all claims, debts, obligations and liabilities, whether known or unknown, contingent or non-contingent, at law or in equity, in each case arising from, in connection with or resulting from the forfeiture of the Second Payment and the Third Payment.
