(1) if an IPO application is submitted on or before December 31, 2018, the Bench Price shall equal to 90% of the offering price per Ordinary Share in the IPO; or
(2) if an IPO application is submitted at any time after December 31, 2018 but on or before (and including) December 31, 2019, the Bench Price shall equal to 80% of the offering price per Ordinary Share in the IPO; or
(3) if an IPO application is submitted at any time after December 31, 2019 but on or before (and including) December 31, 2020, the Bench Price shall equal to 70% of the offering price per Ordinary Share in the IPO.

CP = the applicable Bench Price provided under this Section 1(a).
(b) if an IPO has not been completed by December 31, 2020, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Holder is hereby entitled to purchase from the Company up to the number of preferred shares of the Company (the “Preferred Shares”, and collectively with the Ordinary Shares receivable pursuant to Section 1(a) above, the “Warrant Shares”) calculated pursuant to the formula below:

| (B) | Notwithstanding the provisions under Section 9(b)(A) above, in the event that the Company completes the IPO and the Holder exercises the Warrant, if the closing price per share of the Warrant Shares held by the Holder (subject to adjustments made for share splits, share subdivision, share combination and the like) on the stock market which the Company’s stock is traded is higher than or equal to the per share price calculated based on the formula below (such price, the “Qualified Stock Price”) for twenty (20) consecutive trading days on each and any of such day, then neither the Key Founder nor the Domestic Company shall have any payment obligation with respect to such guaranteed return under this Section 9(b): |
Formula:
Qualified Stock Price = [A2– A1 + W] /S
A1 = V × 12%× N1
