Any Warrantor will have the right to participate in, and, to the extent it so desires, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee. Such participation made by any Warrantor to assume the defense shall not be deemed an acknowledgement that such Warrantor is subject to indemnification hereunder.

9.TERMINATION.

 

9.1            Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated with respect to all Parties prior to the Closing by mutual written consent of the Company and all of the Investors. In the event that, the maturity date of the convertible loan provided by any Investor to Beijing Entity or the Company arrives prior to the Closing in accordance with the Onshore CB Agreement or the Offshore CB Agreements (as the case may be), this Agreement shall automatically be terminated between such Investor and the Warrantors, without affecting the effectiveness of this Agreement among the Warrantors and other Investors.

 

9.2            Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the provision of Section 9.1, this Agreement shall immediately be of no further force or effect and none of any Parties hereto shall have any future obligation under this Agreement, provided that: (i) Section 7.3 (Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure), this Section 9.2 (Effect of Termination) and Section 10 (General Provisions) shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement, and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing herein shall relieve any such Party from liability for any breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination.

 

10.GENERAL PROVISIONS.

 

10.1            Successors and Assigns.

10.2            No Third Party Beneficiaries; No Partnership.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a partnership among any of the Parties hereto.

 

10.3            Governing Law.

10.4            Dispute Resolution. The Parties hereto agree to use reasonable efforts to resolve any disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement through consultation. In the event that the parties are unable to resolve a dispute arising hereunder within thirty (30) days after the issuance of notice with respect to the aforementioned consultation by any Party hereof to any other Party, such dispute (including any dispute relating to the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination of this Agreement or any dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to this Agreement) shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the notice of arbitration is submitted. The seat of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The number of arbitrators shall be three (3). The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English.

All fees, costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by any Party in connection with the arbitration shall be borne by the losing Party, or the Party as designated by the tribunal. To the extent that any Party has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction or any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its assets, whether or not held for its own account, such Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in any disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 10.4 shall be construed as preventing any Party from seeking an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 10.4.
