(f)             Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the Election Form, where a Stock Election is made by or on behalf of any Person who is a PRC ODI Investor, such Election shall not be considered validly made unless, in addition to compliance with the other provisions of this Section 2.2(c), prior to the Election Deadline, all NDRC Filings, MOFCOM Filings and SAFE Filings required to be made by or on behalf of such PRC ODI Investor or any of its Affiliates in connection with and prior to such PRC ODI Investor’s receipt of the applicable Stock Consideration pursuant to the terms of this Agreement have been completed and remain in full force and effect, and satisfactory documentary evidence thereof has been provided or otherwise made available to Geely.

(g)            Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Election Form, the Exchange Agent in the exercise of its reasonable, good faith discretion, and in consultation with ▇▇▇▇▇ and Zeekr, shall have the right to make all determinations, not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, governing the validity of the Election Form and compliance by any holder with the Election procedures set forth herein (including whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made) and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Form, the Letter of Transmittal or other document submitted to the Exchange Agent in connection therewith, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. The Exchange Agent may, with the prior written consent of Geely and Zeekr, make rules that are consistent with this Section 2.2 for the implementation of each holder’s Election as shall be necessary or desirable to effect such Elections in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(h)            None of the Parties and their respective Representatives will be under any duty to notify any Person of any such defect with respect to any Election that is not validly made.

(i)             Geely and Zeekr shall work together to cause a public announcement or press release to be made in respect of the Election Deadline at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Election Deadline. If the Closing Date is delayed to a subsequent date, the Election Deadline shall be similarly delayed to a subsequent date, and Geely and Zeekr shall work together to cause a public announcement or press release to be made promptly in respect of the rescheduled Election Deadline.

(j)             Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Election Form to the contrary, all Elections shall automatically be deemed to be revoked upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, whereupon the Parties shall promptly notify the Exchange Agent in writing.

Section 2.3         Exchange Agent and Exchange Fund.

(a)            Subject to the terms and conditions of the deposit agreement, dated as of May 9, 2024, entered into by and among ▇▇▇▇▇, The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Depositary”), as depositary, and all holders and beneficial owners from time to time of Zeekr ADSs (the “Zeekr Deposit Agreement”), reasonably in advance of the Effective Time, Geely shall appoint the Exchange Agent to act as exchange agent hereunder. Each Party shall use reasonable best efforts to provide the Exchange Agent with all information reasonably necessary for it to perform its duties as specified herein.

(b)            Geely shall, at or prior to the Effective Time, deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent such amount of cash in U.S. dollars for the benefit of the holders of Zeekr Shares and Zeekr ADSs as of immediately prior to the Effective Time sufficient to settle the Cash Consideration provided in Section 2.1(b) and Section 2.1(c) (including cash in lieu of fractional Geely Shares which the holder thereof shall have become entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.5) (such cash, the “Exchange Fund”). The fees and expenses of the Exchange Agent shall be borne by Geely and shall be paid by Geely using funds other than the Exchange Fund.

Section 2.4         Exchange Procedures.

(a)            Stock Consideration.

(i)         Only Zeekr Shares, including Zeekr Shares represented by Zeekr ADSs (together with the Zeekr ADSs representing such Zeekr Shares) but excluding any Excluded Shares, Dissenting Shares and Purported Dissenting Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to which a valid Stock Election has been made pursuant to Section 2.2 will be exchanged into the right to receive the Stock Consideration pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (such Zeekr Shares, the “Stock Election Shares”). All the other Zeekr Shares, including such other Zeekr Shares represented by Zeekr ADSs (together with the Zeekr ADSs representing such other Zeekr Shares) (other than any Excluded Shares, Dissenting Shares and Purported Dissenting Shares) will be exchanged into right to receive the Cash Consideration pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (such Zeekr Shares, the “Cash Election Shares”).

(ii)        As soon as practicable and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time, Geely shall cause the Hong Kong Share Registrar to (A) with respect to any Stock Election Shares (other than the Stock Election Shares represented by Zeekr ADSs), (x) issue to each registered holder of such Stock Election Shares as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, the applicable Stock Consideration payable in exchange therefor, and (y) mail to (or make available for collection at the Hong Kong Share Registrar’s office by) such registered holder the original share certificate representing such Stock Consideration in the name of such registered holder and (B) with respect to Stock Election Shares represented by Zeekr ADSs (together with such Zeekr ADSs), (x) issue to the Depositary or its designated Person, the applicable Stock Consideration payable in exchange therefor and mail to (or make available for collection at the Hong Kong Share Registrar’s office by) the Depositary or its designated Person the original share certificate representing such Stock Consideration issued in the name of the Depositary or its designated Person, or (y) otherwise make available to the Depositary or its designated Person the applicable Stock Consideration payable in exchange therefor through such alternative arrangement as may be agreed with the Depositary and reasonably acceptable to Zeekr, in each case of (A) and (B), without any interest.

(iii)       Prior to the Effective Time, Geely and Zeekr shall establish procedures with the Depositary such that against the issuance of the Geely Shares as Stock Consideration to and the deposit of such Geely Shares with the Depositary or its designated Person pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(ii), the Depositary will issue Geely ADSs representing the corresponding portion of the Stock Consideration and deliver (including through the DTC as applicable) such Geely ADSs to the holders of Zeekr ADSs who are entitled to such Stock Consideration in exchange for their Zeekr ADSs pursuant to Section 2.1(c).The material terms of the Geely ADSs will be described in the Zeekr Proxy Statement. Geely shall pay any fees imposed by the Depositary upon holders of Geely ADSs in connection with the issuance of Geely ADSs in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b)            Cash Consideration.

(i)         Promptly following (and in any event within five (5) Business Days after) the Effective Time, with respect to any Zeekr Shares entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(b), for which no valid Election has been made, and which therefore shall constitute Cash Election Shares for the purpose of this Agreement, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each Person who was, at the Effective Time, a registered holder of such Zeekr Shares: (i) a Letter of Transmittal, which shall specify the manner to effect the delivery of the Per Share Cash Consideration to registered holders of such Zeekr Shares, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of any Old Zeekr Share Certificates (or affidavits and indemnities of loss in lieu of the Old Zeekr Share Certificates as provided in Section 2.10) and such other documents as may be required to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration.

(ii)        Each registered holder of Cash Election Shares which are represented by an Old Zeekr Share Certificate, subject to the surrender of such Old Zeekr Share Certificate (or delivery of an affidavit and indemnity of loss in lieu of such Old Zeekr Share Certificate as provided in Section 2.10) for cancellation and/or such other documents as may be required pursuant to the terms of the Election Form and the Letter of Transmittal, as applicable, duly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and each registered holder of Cash Election Shares represented by book entry (“Uncertificated Zeekr Shares”), upon the surrender of such Cash Election Shares for cancellation and/or such other documents as may be required pursuant to the terms of the Election Form and the Letter of Transmittal, as applicable, duly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Per Share Cash Consideration payable in respect of such Cash Election Shares. Any Old Zeekr Share Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon the cancellation of any Cash Election Shares or the surrender or transfer of any Old Zeekr Share Certificates pursuant to this Article II.

(iii)       Prior to the Effective Time, Geely and Zeekr shall establish procedures with the Exchange Agent and the Depositary to ensure that (A) the Exchange Agent will transmit to the Depositary as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time an amount in cash in immediately available funds equal to the Cash Consideration payable in respect of the number of Zeekr ADSs issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Zeekr ADSs representing any (x) Excluded Shares or (y) Stock Election Shares), and (B) the Depositary will distribute (including through the DTC as applicable) such Cash Consideration to the holders of Zeekr ADSs who are entitled to such Cash Consideration in exchange for their Zeekr ADSs pursuant to Section 2.1(c).

(i)         Pursuant to the terms of the Zeekr Deposit Agreement, the Zeekr ADS holders will pay any applicable fees, charges and expenses of the Depositary and government charges (other than withholding Taxes, if any) due to or incurred by the Depositary in connection with the cancellation of their Zeekr ADSs (and the underlying Zeekr Shares). The Surviving Corporation will pay any applicable fees, charges and expenses of the Depositary and government charges (other than withholding Taxes, if any) due to or incurred by the Depositary in connection with the distribution of the Merger Consideration to Zeekr ADS holders and the termination of the Zeekr ADS program or facility (other than (A) the Zeekr ADS cancellation fee and the Depositary’s depositary services fee, which shall be payable by the holders of the Zeekr ADSs in accordance with the Zeekr Deposit Agreement and (B) those fees payable by Geely pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(iii)). No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on any Merger Consideration upon the cancellation of any Zeekr ADSs or the underlying Zeekr Shares represented by such Zeekr ADSs pursuant to this Article II.

(ii)        Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.4, each Old Zeekr Share Certificate and Uncertificated Zeekr Shares shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.1(b) (including, as applicable, cash in lieu of fractional Geely Shares which the holder thereof shall have become entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.5) and any dividends or distributions which the holder thereof becomes entitled to receive in accordance with and subject to Section 2.4(c)(iv), without any interest thereon.

(iii)       The Exchange Agent will only accept Old Zeekr Share Certificates and Uncertificated Zeekr Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to cause an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices.

(iv)       No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Geely Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any un-surrendered Old Zeekr Share Certificates or Uncertificated Zeekr Shares with respect to the Geely Shares that such holder has the right to receive in the Merger until such holder surrenders such Old Zeekr Share Certificates or Uncertificated Zeekr Shares in accordance with this Section 2.4 (at which time such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).

(v)        If the Per Share Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the cancelled Zeekr Shares are registered, it shall be a condition of payment or allotment and issuance, as the case may be, that (A) a share transfer form in respect of Zeekr Shares represented by the Old Zeekr Share Certificate so surrendered (if any) or the transferred Uncertificated Zeekr Shares shall be in a proper form to transfer the relevant Zeekr Shares and (B) the Person requesting such payment or allotment and issuance, as the case may be, shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment or allotment and issuance, as the case may be, of the Per Share Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such cancelled Zeekr Shares and shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable.

Section 2.5         Settlement of Fractional Securities. No fractional Geely Shares shall be issued to holders of Zeekr Shares in connection with the Merger, and no certificates for any such fractional Geely Shares shall be issued. Any holder of Zeekr Shares who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a Geely Shares (after aggregating all fractional Geely Shares issuable to such holder), in lieu of such fraction of a Geely Shares, shall (subject to Section 2.4) be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing price of a Geely Share on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on the last day before the Closing Date (or if such last day is not a day on which the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is open, the immediately preceding day on which the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is open). The Parties acknowledge that such payment of cash in lieu of issuing fractional Geely Shares is not separately bargained-for consideration, but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional Geely Shares. No holder of Zeekr Shares shall be entitled to any dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional Geely Shares by virtue of the right to receive cash in lieu of fractional Geely Shares described in this Section 2.5 .

Section 2.6         Settlement of fractional Geely ADSs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no fractional Geely ADSs shall be issued in connection with the Merger. All fractional Geely ADSs that otherwise would be issued in connection with the Merger will be sold in one or more transactions conducted by brokers engaged by the Depositary, and the proceeds of such sale (net of any commissions charged by such brokers) will be distributed to all holders of fractional Geely ADSs that otherwise would be issued, in each case through customary DTC arrangements and where applicable, arrangements between such holders and their respective brokers, banks or other nominees which are direct or indirect participants of the DTC system, or at such times, in such manner and on such terms as the Depositary may determine in its reasonable discretion, in each case without interest. The Parties acknowledge that such payment of cash in lieu of issuing fractional Geely ADSs is not separately bargained-for consideration, but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional Geely ADSs. No holder of Zeekr ADSs shall be entitled to any dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional Geely ADS (or the underlying Geely Shares) by virtue of the right to receive cash in lieu of fractional Geely ADSs described in this Section 2.6.

Section 2.7          Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Zeekr Shares (other than the Excluded Shares, Dissenting Shares and the Purported Dissenting Shares) on the first (1^st) anniversary of the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation on the instruction of the Surviving Corporation, and any holder of Zeekr Shares (other than the Excluded Shares, Dissenting Shares and the Purported Dissenting Shares) who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation and Geely (subject to this Agreement and abandoned property, escheat and similar laws) for the Per Share Merger Consideration, to which such holder is entitled, without any interest on any portion thereof. Any such portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by such holders of Zeekr Shares at such time at which amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation or its designee, free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 2.8         No Liability. None of Geely, Merger Sub, Zeekr, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or any of their respective Representatives, shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Merger Consideration from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

Section 2.9         Untraceable Shareholders. The Merger Consideration shall not be made to holders of Zeekr Shares who are untraceable unless and until, except as provided below, they notify the Exchange Agent of their current contact details. A holder of Zeekr Shares will be deemed to be untraceable if (i) such Person has no registered address in the register of members maintained by ▇▇▇▇▇, or (ii) on the last two consecutive occasions on which a dividend has been paid by ▇▇▇▇▇ a check payable to such Person either (x) has been sent to such Person and has been returned undelivered or has not been cashed, or (y) has not been sent to such Person because on an earlier occasion a check for a dividend so payable has been returned undelivered, and in any such case no valid claim in respect thereof has been communicated in writing to Zeekr, or (iii) notice of the Zeekr Shareholders Meeting convened to vote on the Merger has been sent to such Person and has been returned undelivered. Monies due to holders of Zeekr Shares who are untraceable shall be returned to the Surviving Corporation on demand and held in a non-interest bearing bank account for the benefit of such holders who are untraceable.

Section 2.10       Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Old Zeekr Share Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit or declaration of that fact by the Person claiming such Old Zeekr Share Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation or by the Exchange Agent, an indemnity or the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Geely, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent and their respective Representatives with respect to such lost, stolen or destroyed Old Zeekr Share Certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Old Zeekr Share Certificate the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ formerly represented thereby pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.11       Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights. Subject to Section 2.12 and Section 2.13, the Merger Consideration paid in respect of the cancellation of Zeekr Shares and Zeekr ADSs in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Zeekr Shares (including Zeekr Shares represented by Old Zeekr Share Certificates and Uncertificated Zeekr Shares) and Zeekr ADSs. At the Effective Time, the register of members of Zeekr and the register of ADSs of Zeekr shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the register of members of the Surviving Corporation of Zeekr Shares or on the register of ADSs of Zeekr of Zeekr ADSs that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, (i) the holders of Zeekr Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) subject to the Zeekr Deposit Agreement, the holders of Zeekr ADSs that evidenced ownership of Zeekr ADSs outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Zeekr Shares or Zeekr ADSs, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If at any time after the Effective Time, Old Zeekr Share Certificates, Uncertificated Zeekr Shares or Zeekr ADSs are presented to the Surviving Corporation, or the Depositary, where applicable, for any reason, they shall be cancelled as provided in this Article II.

Section 2.12       Dissenting Shares.

(a)            A registered holder of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ who is a Hong Kong Non-Professional Investor and who has validly exercised its rights to dissent from the Merger pursuant to Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act shall not be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to Zeekr Shares owned by it (“Dissenting Shares”) unless and until such holder of Zeekr Shares shall have effectively withdrawn or lost its rights to dissent from the Merger under the Cayman Companies Act.

(b)            If a holder of Dissenting Shares fails to validly exercise, effectively withdraws or loses its rights to dissent from the Merger pursuant to Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act with respect to any Dissenting Shares, such Zeekr Shares shall (i) cease to be Dissenting Shares and (ii) be cancelled, shall no longer be issued or outstanding and shall cease to exist in exchange for, at the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, in the manner provided in Section 2.1. Geely shall promptly deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent any additional funds necessary to pay in full the aggregate Merger Consideration so due and payable to such Zeekr Shareholders who have failed to validly exercise or who shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such dissent rights under Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act.

(c)            Each Dissenting Share shall be canceled, shall no longer be issued or outstanding and shall cease to exist at the Effective Time in exchange for the right to receive only the payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act. Zeekr shall promptly give Geely (i) copies of notices of objection, notices of dissent, any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such notices and/or demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law that are received by Zeekr relating to the rights of a registered holder of Zeekr Shares to dissent from the Merger and (ii) the opportunity to direct or approve all offers, negotiations and proceedings with respect to demand for appraisal under the Cayman Companies Act. Zeekr shall not, except with the prior written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any exercise by a registered holder of Zeekr Shares of its rights to dissent from the Merger, any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

(d)            If any written notices of objection to the Merger are served by any Zeekr Shareholder pursuant to Section 238(2) of the Cayman Companies Act, then provided that the Required Zeekr Vote has been obtained, Zeekr shall serve written notice of the authorization and approval of this Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the Transactions on such Zeekr Shareholder pursuant to Section 238(4) of the Cayman Companies Act (the “Section 238(4) Notice ”) within twenty (20) days of obtaining the Required Zeekr Vote at the Zeekr Shareholders Meeting (the date on which such notice has been given, the “Notice Date”).

Section 2.13       Purported Dissenting Shares.

(a)            Section 239 of the Cayman Companies Act (“Section 239”) applies to the Merger such that none of the rights of dissenters under Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act (“Section 238”) shall be available in respect of the Merger to the Zeekr Shareholders (other than any Zeekr Shareholder who is a Hong Kong Non-Professional Investor); provided, however, that if a Zeekr Shareholder that is not a Hong Kong Non-Professional Investor provides any notice of objection, notice of dissent, written demand for appraisal and/or takes any other action that purports to validly exercise any dissenter rights pursuant to Section 238 (such Zeekr Shareholder, a “Purported Dissenting Shareholder”), such Purported Dissenting Shareholder shall not be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to Zeekr Shares (including Zeekr Shares represented by Zeekr ADSs) owned by such Purported Dissenting Shareholder (the “Purported Dissenting Shares”) unless and until either (i) such Purported Dissenting Shareholder shall have withdrawn such objection, dissent, demand or other action in such manner as would render such Purported Dissenting Shareholder to be deemed to have effectively withdrawn its dissent from the Merger if Section 238 were to apply in such case, or (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction either strikes out the petition for determination of fair value under Section 238 on the grounds that Section 239 applies to the Merger, or makes a declaration, or otherwise grants a final and non-appealable judgement confirming, that Section 239 applies to the Merger. If a Purported Dissenting Shareholder withdraws its objection, dissent or demand for dissent from the Merger in such manner as would render such Purported Dissenting Shareholder to be deemed to have effectively withdrawn its dissent from the Merger, or fails to validly exercise its dissenter rights, in each case as if Section 238 were to apply in such case, then the Zeekr Shares held by such Purported Dissenting Shareholder shall cease to be Purported Dissenting Shares.

(b)            With respect to each Purported Dissenting Share, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive: (A) in the event a court of competent jurisdiction either (i) strikes out the petition for determination of fair value under Section 238 on the grounds that Section 239 applies to the Merger, or (ii) makes a declaration, or otherwise grants a final and non-appealable judgment confirming, that Section 239 applies to the Merger, the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest; (B) in the event a court of competent jurisdiction either (i) grants a final and non-appealable judgment determining the fair value of the Purported Dissenting Share required to be paid to the Purported Dissenting Shareholder under Section 238, or (ii) makes a declaration that Section 239 does not apply to the Merger, only the payment resulting from the procedure in Section 238; provided that, in the event that a petition under Section 238(9) is not filed within the time limits specified therein (subject to any additional time periods resulting from any stay of proceedings under Section 238 which may be ordered by the Cayman Islands court), then such holder shall receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to each Purported Dissenting Share, without interest. ▇▇▇▇▇ shall promptly give ▇▇▇▇▇ (i) copies of notices of objection, notices of dissent, any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such notices or demands, and any other instruments that are received by ▇▇▇▇▇ relating to any purported exercise of rights to dissent from the Merger by any Purported Dissenting Shareholder and (ii) the opportunity to direct or approve all offers, negotiations and proceedings with respect to such purported exercise of dissenter rights. Zeekr shall not, except with the prior written consent of Geely, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any purported exercise by a shareholder of its rights to dissent from the Merger, any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

(c)            Prior to the Effective Time, Geely shall appoint the Exchange Agent (or another qualified trustee mutually agreed in writing by ▇▇▇▇▇ and Zeekr) to act as trustee (the “Trustee”) for the purpose of holding the Merger Consideration that would otherwise have been payable to the Purported Dissenting Shareholders in exchange for the cancellation of each Purported Dissenting Share held by it but for the purported exercise of dissenter rights by such Purported Dissenting Shareholders. As soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time, Geely shall pay, deposit with, allot and issue to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Purported Dissenting Shareholders such number and amount of applicable Merger Consideration that would otherwise have been payable to the Purported Dissenting Shareholders. Geely shall cause the Trustee to (a) hold for the benefit of each Purported Dissenting Shareholder the Merger Consideration with respect to each Purported Dissenting Share held by it until such Purported Dissenting Shareholder becomes entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.13(b), and (b) promptly after such Purported Dissenting Shareholder becomes so entitled, transfer the Merger Consideration to such Purported Dissenting Shareholders with respect to each Purported Dissenting Share held by it in accordance with the same procedure and subject to the same terms and conditions as provided in Section 2.4, as if applied to such transfer mutatis mutandis; provided that in the event such Purported Dissenting Shareholder becomes entitled to receive consideration other than the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.13(b), the corresponding Merger Consideration held by the Trustee shall be returned to Geely and becomes properties of Geely, or upon request of Geely, disposed of on its behalf with the proceeds from such disposal paid to Geely.

(d)            Provided that the Required Zeekr Vote has been obtained, and notwithstanding that Section 239 of the Cayman Companies Act will apply to the Transaction, Zeekr shall give notice to each Purported Dissenting Shareholder of the outcome of the Zeekr Shareholders Meeting within twenty (20) days of obtaining the Required Zeekr Vote.

Section 2.14       Treatment of Zeekr RSU Awards.

(a)            As of the Effective Time, without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each Zeekr RSU Award that is outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into a number of Geely Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the applicable number of Zeekr Shares subject to such Zeekr RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the Per Share Exchange Ratio rounded to the nearest whole share. For the avoidance of doubt, each vested Zeekr RSU Award that has been exchanged for Zeekr Shares or Zeekr ADSs prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed cancelled and shall not be entitled to any right under Section 2.14, but the Zeekr Shares and Zeekr ADSs already so issued shall be entitled to the Merger Consideration under Section 2.1(b) and Section 2.1(c), as applicable.

(b)            As of the Effective Time, without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each Zeekr RSU Award that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by ▇▇▇▇▇ and converted into a Geely Share Award with respect to a number of Geely Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the applicable number of Zeekr Shares subject to such Zeekr RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the Per Share Exchange Ratio rounded to the nearest whole share. Each Geely Share Award shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, substantially the same terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding Zeekr RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time (taking into account any changes thereto by reason of this Agreement or the Merger).

Section 2.15       Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation, Zeekr, Geely, the Exchange Agent and their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration or amounts payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it reasonably determines is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provisions of Tax Law of the United States, the PRC, or other applicable jurisdictions. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity by the Surviving Corporation, Zeekr, Geely, the Exchange Agent or their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.16       Termination of Deposit Agreement. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall provide notice to the Depositary to terminate the Zeekr Deposit Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Article III.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ZEEKR

(d)            Notwithstanding Section 6.3(b), after consultation in good faith with Geely, Zeekr may recommend the adjournment of the Zeekr Shareholders Meeting to its shareholders (i) to the extent necessary to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the Zeekr Proxy Statement is provided to the Zeekr Shareholders within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Zeekr Shareholders Meeting, (ii) as otherwise required by applicable Law or (iii) if as of the time for which the Zeekr Shareholders Meeting is scheduled as set forth in the Zeekr Proxy Statement, there are insufficient Zeekr Shares represented (in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Zeekr Shareholders Meeting or to vote in favor of the authorization and approval of this Agreement, the Plan of Merger, and the Transactions in order for the Required Zeekr Vote to be obtained.

(f)            Prior to the earlier of (i) the Required Zeekr Vote shall have been obtained and (ii) the termination of this Agreement, Geely will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, Transfer any Zeekr Shares owned by Geely or its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof and any Zeekr Shares or other voting share capital of Zeekr that Geely or its Subsidiaries acquired from time to time after the date hereof or any voting right or power (including whether such right or power is granted by proxy or otherwise) or economic interest therein. For purpose hereof, “Transfer” means directly or indirectly, to sell, transfer, offer, exchange, assign, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (by merger, by tendering into any tender or exchange offer, by testamentary disposition, by operation of Law or otherwise), either voluntarily or involuntarily, or to enter into any contract, option or other agreement with respect to any sale, transfer, offer, exchange, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or other disposition.

From and after the Effective Time, Geely shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, and the Surviving Corporation shall, advance fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) incurred by each Indemnified Party in connection with and prior to the final disposition of such Proceedings, such fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) to be advanced within five (5) Business Days of receipt by Geely from the Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided that such Indemnified Party delivers an undertaking to the Surviving Corporation, agreeing to repay such advanced fees, costs and expenses if it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such fees, costs and expense. This Section 6.8(b) shall remain in full force and effect for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time.

(c)            Geely or the Surviving Corporation shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume and control the defense of any threatened or actual litigation, claim or proceeding relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 6.8 (each, a “Claim”) unless there is a conflict of interest between Geely and the Surviving Corporation, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other (for the avoidance of doubt, conflict of interest shall be deemed to exist in the event of any threatened or actual litigation, claim or proceeding relating to the Transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements), but in any event, no such Claim shall be settled or compromised without Geely’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that none of Geely or the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any such Claim for which indemnification has been sought by an Indemnified Party hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Claim or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents in writing to such settlement, compromise or consent. Each of Geely, the Surviving Corporation and the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate, at the cost of Geely, in the defense of any Claim and shall provide access to properties and individuals as reasonably requested and furnish or cause to be furnished records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

(d)            At or prior to the Closing, Zeekr shall purchase and fully pay for a non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of Zeekr and its Subsidiaries’ existing fiduciary liability insurance policies for the benefit of those Persons who are covered by such policies at the Effective Time, which shall (i) be for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six (6) years after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) be from Zeekr’s current insurance carrier with respect to such coverage (or Zeekr may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage with respect to matters existing or occurring prior to the Effective Time containing terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability which are not less advantageous to any beneficiary thereof, and from insurance carriers having at least an “A” rating by A.M. Best with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance); provided that in no event shall Zeekr be required to expend pursuant to this Section 6.8(d) more than an amount per year equal to 300% of annual premiums for Zeekr directors’ and officers’ liability insurance existing as of the date of this Agreement , and if the cost of such insurance policy exceeds such amount, then Zeekr shall, at or prior to the Closing, obtain and fully pay for a policy with the greatest coverage for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(e)            If Geely or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Geely or the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.8.

(f)            The agreements and covenants contained in this Section 6.8 shall be in addition to any other rights an Indemnified Party may have under the memorandum and articles of association of Zeekr or any of its Subsidiaries (or equivalent constitutional documents), any agreement between an Indemnified Party and Zeekr or any of its Subsidiaries, or under applicable Law, or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 6.8 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their heirs and legal representatives, each of which shall be a third party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 6.8. The obligations of Geely and the Surviving Company under this Section 6.8 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Party without the consent of such Indemnified Party.

(g)            Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors' and officers’ insurance claims under any policy or other agreement that is or has been in existence with respect to Zeekr or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.8 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under any such policies.

Each of ▇▇▇▇▇ and Geely shall, upon obtaining knowledge of any of the following, give prompt notice to the others of (i) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger, (ii) any Proceedings commenced or (to such Party’s knowledge) threatened against any of Zeekr, Geely or Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, which, in each case, in connection with arising from or otherwise relating to the Transactions, (iii) any notice or other communication from any third party alleging that the consent of such third party is or may be required in connection with the Transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, or (iv) any event or occurrence that has a Zeekr Material Adverse Effect or a Geely Material Adverse Effect with respect to Zeekr or Geely, as the case may be; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.9 shall not cure such breach or non-compliance or limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the Person receiving such notice.

Section 6.10      Fees and Expenses. Subject to Section 2.4(c)(i), Section 8.5(b), Section 8.5(c), Section 8.5(d), or Section 8.5(i), whether or not the Merger is consummated, all Expenses (as hereinafter defined) incurred in connection with this Agreement, and the Transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements shall be paid by the Person incurring such Expenses. As used in this Agreement, “Expenses” includes all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including all filing costs and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, investment bankers, experts and consultants to a Person and its Affiliates) incurred by a Person or on its behalf in connection with, or related to, the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, including the solicitation of shareholder approvals and all other matters related to the Transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements.

If any “business combination,” “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition” or other similar anti-takeover statute or regulation (each, a “Takeover Statute”) is or may become applicable to the Merger or the other Transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, each of Geely and Zeekr shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are necessary so that the Transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by the Transaction Agreements and otherwise act to eliminate or lawfully minimize the effects of any Takeover Statute on the Merger or the other Transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements.
