(i)Collective Land

Shanghai Xinxing guarantees that the Project Company will be able to obtain land use rights of no less than 120 mu of Collective Land for a term of 40 years at the consideration of RMB 3.2 million per mu (the "Consideration"), of which only RMB 2.7 million per mu shall be payable to the Xuhang Government, and the remaining RMB 0.5 million per mu will be deemed capital contribution by the designated entity of Shanghai Xinxing in the Project Company. Upon expiration of the term, all buildings and ancillary infrastructure constructed on such Collective Land shall belong to the local government.

The final actual area of the Collective Land will be subject to agreement by Shanghai Xinxing and the Company. The first phase of the Collective Land (the "Phase 1 Land") shall be no less than 42 mu, and Shanghai Xinxing shall complete all procedures for transfer the land use rights for Collective Land to the Project Company by/before June 2021. The Company currently expects that the actual area of the Phase 1 Land will be not more than 42 mu.
