The existence of this right will not preclude a Party from pursuing any other rights or remedies that it may have at law or in equity.

(b) The rights of each Party under this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to all other rights or remedies that such Party may otherwise have at law or in equity.

Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Series C Transaction Documents, including all fees and expenses of such Party’s agents, representatives, financial and legal advisors and accountants; provided, that (a) if the Closing with respect to Didi occurs, or (b) if the Closing with respect to Didi does not occur due to (x) the breach of any provision of this Agreement by any Warrantor or Partnership, or (y) any of the conditions set forth in Section 6 not being fulfilled due to any reason attributable to any Warrantor or Partnership, the Company shall be responsible for all such expenses of Didi up to US$140,000 by transferring an amount equal to such expenses of Didi, in US$ in immediately available funds, to a bank account designated by Didi not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed date of transfer.

(i) with respect to any Investor, by mutual written agreement between such Investor and the Company;

(ii) with respect to any Investor, by such Investor by written notice to the Company, pursuant to Section 5.10;

(iii) with respect to any Investor, by such Investor by written notice to the Company, if any Warrantor or Partnership is in material breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement; provided, that such breach did not arise from a breach by such Investor of any provision of this Agreement;

(iv) with respect to any Investor, by the Company by written notice to such Investor, if such Investor is in material breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement; provided, that such breach did not arise from a breach by any Warrantor or Partnership of any provision of this Agreement; or

(v) with respect to any Investor, by such Investor by written notice to the Company or by the Company by written notice to such Investor, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to June 15, 2018; provided that (A) the termination right of the Company under this clause shall be conditional upon the fact that none of the Warrantors have materially breached their representations, warranties or covenants hereunder and the failure of the Closing is not due to any reasons attributable to any Warrantors; (ii) the termination rights of such Investor under this clause shall be conditional upon the fact that such Investor has not materially breached its representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement and the failure of the Closing is not due to any reasons attributable to such Investor.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.15(a), it shall become void and of no further force and effect, except for the provisions of this Section 8.15(b) and Section 1, Section5.8, Section 8.1 to Section 8.9 and Section 8.11 to Section8.14; provided, that such termination shall be without prejudice to the rights of any Party in respect of a breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.
