CUSIP No. 72815L 107       Page 13 of 13 Pages

 

As previously disclosed, the Existing Pledge Agreements were part of ongoing discussions with respect to refinancing certain debt arrangements, including the Existing Shanghai Cibi Loan Agreement and the Existing Zhunji Loan Agreement. As part of these refinancing discussions, Shanghai Jukun entered into certain loan agreements and expects to enter into additional loan agreements with Lender (collectively, the “Shanghai Jukun Loan Agreements”). Pursuant to such loan agreements, Lender will make available to Shanghai Jukun certain new loans, the proceeds of which are intended to be used (in combination with Shanghai Cibi’s funds on hand) to repay a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Existing Shanghai Cibi Loan Agreement. In connection with the Shanghai Jukun Loan Agreements, on November 27, 2024, PHUKII entered into a stock pledge agreement (the “Shanghai Jukun Loan Pledge Agreement”) with Lender pursuant to which PHUKII pledged (i) as a second priority security interest, the Shanghai Cibi Loan Colateral and (ii) as a fourth ranking security interest, the Zhunji Loan Collateral, in each case to secure the obligations of Shanghai Jukun under the Shanghai Jukun Loan Agreements.

Further, Shanghai Giant Investment Management Co., Ltd. (“Giant Investment Management”), an affiliate of Giant Investment, expects to enter into certain loan agreements with Lender (collectively, the “Giant Investment Management Loan Agreements”). Pursuant to such loan agreements, Lender will make available to Giant Investment Management certain new loans, the proceeds of which will are intended to be used (in combination with Zhunji’s funds on hand) to fully repay the Existing Zhunji Loan Agreement. In connection with the Giant Investment Management Loan Agreements, on November 27, 2024, PHUKII entered into a stock pledge agreement (the “Giant Investment Management Loan Pledge Agreement”, and, together with the Shanghai Jukun Loan Pledge Agreement, the “New Pledge Agreements”) with Lender pursuant to which PHUKII pledged as a third ranking security interest, the Zhunji Loan Collateral to secure the obligations of Giant Investment Management under the the Giant Investment Management Loan Agreements.

In addition to the New Pledge Agreements, Shanghai Cibi and Hazlet also pledged certain shares of Alpha to Lender as additional security under the Shanghai Jukun Loan Agreements and the Giant Investment Management Loan Agreements, respectively. Upon the occurrence of certain customary events of default, the Lender may exercise its rights under the New Pledge Agreements to foreclose on, and dispose of, the applicable collateral in accordance with the New Pledge Agreements.

The foregoing descriptions of the New Pledge Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Pledge Agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.

10. Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Pledgor hereby appoints the Secured Party the Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise, during the continuance of an Event of Default in the Secured Party’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made payable to the Pledgor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same (but the Secured Party shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to the Pledgor or any third party for failure to do so or take action).

12. Reasonable Care. The Secured Party shall have no duty with respect to the care and preservation of the Collateral beyond the exercise of reasonable care. The Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Secured Party accords its own property, it being understood that the Secured Party shall not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral. Nothing set forth in this Agreement, nor the exercise by the Secured Party of any of the rights and remedies hereunder, shall relieve the Pledgor from the performance of any obligation on the Pledgor’s part to be performed or observed in respect of any of the Collateral.

13. Remedies Upon Default.

(a) Subject to Section 4 of this Agreement, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party may, without any other notice to or demand upon the Pledgor, assert all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other applicable law, including, without limitation, the right to give notice of sole control or any other instruction under the Notice of Charge in respect of Collateral and take any action therein with respect to such Collateral, take possession of, hold, collect, sell, lease, deliver, grant options to purchase or otherwise retain, liquidate or dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral. If notice prior to disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof is necessary under applicable law, written notice mailed to the Pledgor at its notice address as provided in Section 17 ten (10) days prior to the date of such disposition shall constitute reasonable notice, but notice given in any other reasonable manner shall be sufficient. So long as the sale of the Collateral is made in a commercially reasonable manner, the Secured Party may sell such Collateral on such terms and to such purchaser(s) as the Secured Party in its absolute discretion may choose, without assuming any credit risk and without any obligation to advertise or give notice of any kind other than that necessary under applicable law. Without precluding any other methods of sale, the sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall have been made in a commercially reasonable manner if conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of creditors disposing of similar property. At any sale of the Collateral, if permitted by applicable law, the Secured Party may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Collateral or any part thereof and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Collateral or any part thereof payable at such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Secured Party arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder. The Pledgor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Secured Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Secured Party or any custodian may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. Neither the Secured Party nor any custodian shall be liable for failure

 

9


to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing, nor shall it be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. The Pledgor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the type included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.

(b) Subject to Section 4 of this Agreement, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all rights of the Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7, shall immediately cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Secured Party, which shall have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and receive and hold such dividends and other distributions as Collateral.

(c) Subject to Section 4 of this Agreement, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any cash held by the Secured Party as Collateral and all cash Proceeds received by the Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in whole or in part by the Secured Party to the payment of expenses incurred by the Secured Party in connection with the foregoing or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the balance of such proceeds shall be applied or set off against all or any part of the Secured Obligations in such order as the Secured Party shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or cash Proceeds held by the Secured Party and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the Pledgor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. The Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency if such cash and the cash Proceeds of any sale or other realization of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and other charges of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

(d) If the Secured Party shall determine to exercise its rights to sell all or any of the Collateral pursuant to this Section, the Pledgor agrees that, upon request of the Secured Party, the Pledgor will, at its own expense, do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof, at the same time or at different times, at public or private sale, at any exchange, at a place designated by the Secured Party or elsewhere, upon such time, price, and other terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable and for cash, upon credit, or for future delivery, valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

(e) The Pledgor recognizes that the Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the United States federal securities laws and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchases which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private

 

10


sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the Pledgor than if such sale were a public sale and agrees that such circumstances shall not, in and of themselves result in a determination that such sale was not made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for the time period necessary to register such securities for public sale under applicable securities laws. The Pledgor further agrees to use its reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make any sale or sales of all or a portion of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement valid and binding and in compliance with the organizational documents of the Pledgor and any other applicable law, statute, rule or regulation or other determination of any court, board, commission, agency or instrumentality of the federal or state government or of any municipality or any agency.

14. No Waiver and Cumulative Remedies. The Secured Party shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 16), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

15. SECURITY INTEREST ABSOLUTE. The Pledgor hereby waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. All rights of the Secured Party and liens and security interests hereunder, and all Secured Obligations of the Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a) any illegality or lack of validity or enforceability of any Secured Obligation or any related agreement or instrument;

(b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, the Secured Obligations, or any rescission, waiver, amendment or other modification of the Loan Agreement, this Agreement or any other agreement, including any increase in the Secured Obligations resulting from any extension of additional credit or otherwise;

(c) any taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release, impairment, amendment, waiver or other modification of any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

(d) any manner of sale, disposition or application of proceeds of any Collateral or any other collateral or other assets to all or part of the Secured Obligations;

(e) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Secured Obligations;

 

11


(f) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to, or be asserted by, the Pledgor against the Secured Party;

(g) the insolvency of the Pledgor; or

(h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or manner of administering the Loans or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Secured Party that might vary the risk of the Pledgor or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Pledgor or any other grantor, guarantor or surety.

16. Amendments. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, supplemented, terminated or waived, and no consent to any departure by the Pledgor therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Secured Party and the Pledgor, and then such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.

17. Addresses For Notices. All notices and other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner and become effective as set forth in the Loan Agreement, and addressed to the respective parties at their addresses as specified on the signature page of this Agreement.

18. Continuing Security Interest; Further Actions. This Agreement shall create a continuing second priority lien and security interest in the Second Priority Collateral, and a continuing fourth priority lien and security interest in the Fourth Priority Collateral and shall (a) subject to Section 19, remain in full force and effect until payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations, (b) be binding upon the Pledgor, its successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of the Secured Party and its successors, transferees and assigns; provided that the Pledgor may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Secured Party.

11. Secured Party May Perform. If the Pledgor fails to perform any obligation contained in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty on the part of the Pledgor contained herein shall be breached, the Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such obligation, or remedy such breach, and the expenses of the Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Pledgor; provided that the Secured Party shall not be required to perform or discharge any obligation of the Pledgor. Neither the provisions of this Section 11 nor any action taken by the Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Agreement or any breach of representation or warranty from constituting an Event of Default.

12. Reasonable Care. The Secured Party shall have no duty with respect to the care and preservation of the Collateral beyond the exercise of reasonable care. The Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Secured Party accords its own property, it being understood that the Secured Party shall not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral. Nothing set forth in this Agreement, nor the exercise by the Secured Party of any of the rights and remedies hereunder, shall relieve the Pledgor from the performance of any obligation on the Pledgor’s part to be performed or observed in respect of any of the Collateral.

13. Remedies Upon Default.

(a) Subject to Section 4 of this Agreement, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party may, without any other notice to or demand upon the Pledgor, assert all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other applicable law, including, without limitation, the right to give notice of sole control or any other instruction under the Notice of Charge in respect of Collateral and take any action therein with respect to such Collateral, take possession of, hold, collect, sell, lease, deliver, grant options to purchase or otherwise retain, liquidate or dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral. If notice prior to disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof is necessary under applicable law, written notice mailed to the Pledgor at its notice address as provided in Section 17 ten (10) days prior to the date of such disposition shall constitute reasonable notice, but notice given in any other reasonable manner shall be sufficient. So long as the sale of the Collateral is made in a commercially reasonable manner, the Secured Party may sell such Collateral on such terms and to such purchaser(s) as the Secured Party in its absolute discretion may choose, without assuming any credit risk and without any obligation to advertise or give notice of any kind other than that necessary under applicable law. Without precluding any other methods of sale, the sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall have been made in a commercially reasonable manner if conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of creditors disposing of similar property. At any sale of the Collateral, if permitted by applicable law, the Secured Party may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Collateral or any part thereof and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the

 

8


Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Collateral or any part thereof payable at such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Secured Party arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder. The Pledgor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Secured Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Secured Party or any custodian may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. Neither the Secured Party nor any custodian shall be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing, nor shall it be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. The Pledgor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the type included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.

(b) Subject to Section 4 of this Agreement, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all rights of the Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7, shall immediately cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Secured Party, which shall have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and receive and hold such dividends and other distributions as Collateral.

(c) Subject to Section 4 of this Agreement, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any cash held by the Secured Party as Collateral and all cash Proceeds received by the Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in whole or in part by the Secured Party to the payment of expenses incurred by the Secured Party in connection with the foregoing or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the balance of such proceeds shall be applied or set off against all or any part of the Secured Obligations in such order as the Secured Party shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or cash Proceeds held by the Secured Party and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the Pledgor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. The Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency if such cash and the cash Proceeds of any sale or other realization of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and other charges of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

(d) If the Secured Party shall determine to exercise its rights to sell all or any of the Collateral pursuant to this Section, the Pledgor agrees that, upon request of the Secured Party, the Pledgor will, at its own expense, do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof, at the same time or at different times, at public or private sale, at any exchange, at a place designated by the Secured Party or elsewhere, upon such time, price, and other terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable and for cash, upon credit, or for future delivery, valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

 

9


(e) The Pledgor recognizes that the Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the United States federal securities laws and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchases which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the Pledgor than if such sale were a public sale and agrees that such circumstances shall not, in and of themselves result in a determination that such sale was not made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for the time period necessary to register such securities for public sale under applicable securities laws. The Pledgor further agrees to use its reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make any sale or sales of all or a portion of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement valid and binding and in compliance with the organizational documents of the Pledgor and any other applicable law, statute, rule or regulation or other determination of any court, board, commission, agency or instrumentality of the federal or state government or of any municipality or any agency.

14. No Waiver and Cumulative Remedies. The Secured Party shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 16), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

15. SECURITY INTEREST ABSOLUTE. The Pledgor hereby waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. All rights of the Secured Party and liens and security interests hereunder, and all Secured Obligations of the Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a) any illegality or lack of validity or enforceability of any Secured Obligation or any related agreement or instrument;

(b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, the Secured Obligations, or any rescission, waiver, amendment or other modification of the Loan Agreement, this Agreement or any other agreement, including any increase in the Secured Obligations resulting from any extension of additional credit or otherwise;

 

10


(c) any taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release, impairment, amendment, waiver or other modification of any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

(d) any manner of sale, disposition or application of proceeds of any Collateral or any other collateral or other assets to all or part of the Secured Obligations;

(e) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Secured Obligations;

(f) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to, or be asserted by, the Pledgor against the Secured Party;

(g) the insolvency of the Pledgor; or
