 Each person making a communication hereunder by facsimile shall promptly confirm by telephone to the person to
whom such communication was addressed each communication made by it by facsimile pursuant hereto but the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of any such communication. A Party may change or supplement the addresses given
above, or designate additional addresses, for purposes of this Section 8.3 by giving the other Parties written notice of the new address in the manner set forth above. 

8.4 Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. Each Party shall pay all of its own costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred by
it in connection with the Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby respectively. In the event that any action, suit or other proceeding is instituted concerning or arising out of the Transaction Agreements, or any transaction
contemplated hereby, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements) incurred in each such action, suit or other proceeding, including any and all appeals or
petitions therefrom. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall, within ten (10) Business Days of demand, pay to the Purchaser the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred by the Purchaser in connection
with the enforcement of, or the preservation of any rights under, any Transaction Security and any proceedings instituted by or against the Purchaser as a consequence of it taking or holding the Transaction Security or enforcing those rights. 

 












 8.5 Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be
unenforceable under applicable law, such provision(s) shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision(s) were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms. The
Parties will work in good faith to substitute the excluded provision with a provision intended to accomplish the Parties’ intent to the greatest extent permitted by law. 

8.6 Headings; References; Exhibits. The headings in this Agreement are only for convenience and ease of reference and are not to be
considered in construction or interpretation of this Agreement, nor as evidence of the intention of the Parties hereto. All exhibits, schedules and appendices attached to this Agreement are an integral part of this Agreement. Except where otherwise
indicated, all references in this Agreement to Sections refer to Sections of this Agreement. 
 8.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may
be executed in one or more counterparts and may be delivered by electronic or facsimile transmission, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and each of which shall be deemed an original. 

8.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the schedules and the exhibits hereto, together with the other Transaction Agreements, constitute
the full and entire understanding and agreement between the Parties with regard to the subjects hereof and supersede any and all prior understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between or among the Parties with respect to the specific
subject matter hereof. 
 8.9 Modification. Except as otherwise specifically provided, no modification or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or consent to departure therefrom shall be effective unless in writing and approved by the Parties. 
 8.10 Waiver or
Indulgence. No delay or failure to require performance of any provision of this Agreement, or to exercise any power, right or remedy, shall be deemed a waiver or impairment of such performance, power, right or remedy or of any other provision of
this Agreement nor shall be it construed as a breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring. 

8.11 Interpretation; Titles and Subtitles. This Agreement shall be construed according to its fair language. The rule of construction to
the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in interpreting this Agreement. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be
considered in construing this Agreement. 
 8.12 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. This Agreement and all acts and
transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. Any dispute,
controversy or claim (each, a “Dispute”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the interpretation, breach, termination, validity or invalidity thereof, shall be referred to arbitration upon the demand of either party to
the dispute with notice (the “Arbitration Notice”) to the other party. The Dispute shall be settled by arbitration in Hong Kong by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “HKIAC”) in accordance with the
Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre Administered Arbitration Rules (the “HKIAC Rules”) in force when the Arbitration Notice is submitted in accordance with the HKIAC Rules. There shall be one (1) arbitrator. The HKIAC
shall select the arbitrator, who shall be qualified to practice law in Hong Kong. The arbitral proceedings shall be conducted in Chinese. To the extent that the HKIAC Rules are in conflict with the provisions of this Section 8.12, including the
provisions concerning the appointment of the arbitrator, the provisions of this Section 8.12 shall prevail. Each party to the arbitration shall cooperate with each other party to the arbitration in making full disclosure of
and providing complete access to all information and documents requested by such other party in connection with such arbitral proceedings, subject only to any confidentiality obligations binding on such party. The award of the arbitral tribunal
shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto, and the prevailing party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award. 












 8.13 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the Parties. This Agreement and the rights and obligations therein may not be assigned or transferred by the Company without the
prior written consent of the Purchaser. The Purchaser may not, without consent from the Company, assign or transfer the Note and the rights and obligations therein to any Person other than (i) any of the Purchaser’s Affiliates and
(ii) any fund Controlled by the Purchaser, provided that the Purchaser shall not, and shall procure that the assignee or the transferee shall not, assign or transfer the Note or any of its rights and/or obligations thereunder to any Company
Competitor (as defined in the ROFR Agreement). 
 8.14 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that it might be
impossible to measure in monetary terms the damage to a Party if another Party fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement. If any such failure occurs, the non-defaulting party might not have an
adequate remedy at law or in damages. Therefore each Party consents to the issuance of an injunction and the enforcement of other equitable remedies against it to compel performance of this Agreement. 

8.15 Further Assurances. The Parties agree to execute such further documents and to take such further actions as may be reasonably
necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement. 
 8.16 Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be
terminated prior to the Note Closing (a) by mutual written consent of the Parties, (b) by the Purchaser and/or the Company if, due to change of applicable Laws, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder would become
prohibited under applicable Laws, or (c) if the Note Closing has not been consummated by the end of the sixth (6th) month of the date hereof or such other later day as jointly determined by such Purchaser and the Company, by the Purchaser or by
the Company, provided that the terminating party shall not have been, on or prior to the date of termination, in material breach of this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the provision of Section 8.16,
this Agreement will be of no further force or effect, provided that (i) no party shall be relieved of any liability for a breach of this Agreement or for any misrepresentation hereunder, nor shall such termination be deemed to constitute a
waiver of any available remedy (including specific performance if available) for any such breach or misrepresentation and (ii) Sections 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.12, 8.14 and 8.16 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
