Company’s internal controls. The Company’s auditors and the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company have not been advised of any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a
significant role in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Since December 31, 2013, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably

arrangements” (as defined in Item 303(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC), where the result, purpose or intended effect of such contract, agreement, arrangement or undertaking is to avoid disclosure of any material
transaction involving, or material liabilities of, the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s published financial statements or other SEC Documents.

INDEMNIFICATION 

Section 6.1 Indemnification. From and after the relevant Closing Date, each Party, as applicable (the “Indemnifying
Party”), shall indemnify and hold the other Parties and their respective directors, officers and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments,
fines, obligations, expenses and liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever, including but not limited to any investigative, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amounts paid in settlement of, any pending or threatened
legal action or proceeding, and any taxes or levies that may be payable by such person by reason of the indemnification of any indemnifiable loss hereunder (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from or arising out of: (i) the
breach of any representation or warranty of the Indemnifying Party contained in the Transaction Agreements; (ii) the violation or nonperformance, partial or total, of any covenant or agreement of the Indemnifying Party contained in the
Transaction Agreements. In calculating the amount of any Losses of an Indemnified Party hereunder, there shall be subtracted the amount of any insurance proceeds and third-party payments received by the Indemnified Party with respect to such
Losses, if any. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the Purchasers hereunder shall be several but not joint and neither Purchaser shall have any liability with respect to the compliance or non-compliance of the other Purchaser under
this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreements. 
 Section 6.2 Third Party Claims. 

(a) If any third party shall notify any Indemnified Party in writing with respect to any matter involving a claim by such third party (a
“Third Party Claim”) which such Indemnified Party believes would give rise to a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE IV, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly following receipt of
notice of such claim (i) notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing and (ii) transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (“Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Third Party Claim, a
copy of all papers served with respect to such claim (if any), and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay in providing such notice shall
constitute a waiver or otherwise modify the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnity hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced by such failure or delay. 

  
 27 








 (b) Upon receipt of a Claim Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party
shall have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by, within 30 days of receipt of the Claim Notice, notifying the Indemnified Party in writing that the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, and
upon delivery of such notice by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to fully control and settle the proceeding, provided, that, any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only with the written
consent of the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal
action, (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against any Indemnified Party (other than immaterial equitable relief in connection with an award of monetary damages), (iii) the Third Party Claim is or would
reasonably be expected to result in Losses in excess of the amounts available for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.4 or (iv) the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged that such Third Party Claim is subject to indemnification
pursuant to this ARTICLE IV. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 6.2(b), the Indemnifying Party shall conduct such defense in good faith. 

(c) If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, cooperate
reasonably with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, including in connection with the making of any related counterclaim against the person asserting the Third
Party Claim or any cross complaint against any person. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to any Third Party Claim, other than any privileged communications
between the Indemnifying Party and its counsel, and shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to retain separate co-counsel and participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim assumed by the Indemnifying
Party pursuant to Section 6.2(b). 
 (d) In the event of a Third Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the
defense or fails to make such an election within the 30 days of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle, compromise or pay such action or claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided that any
such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

  
 28 








 Section 6.3 Other Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim
against the Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (the “Indemnity Notice”) describing in reasonable detail
the nature of the claim, the Indemnified Party’s best estimate of the amount of Losses attributable to such claim and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement; provided , that no failure
or delay in providing such notice shall constitute a waiver or otherwise modify the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnity hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced by such failure or delay. If
the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 30 days from its receipt of the Indemnity Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed with such claim.

 Section 6.4 Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in each case, other than with respect to fraud,
(a) the Company shall have no liability to Tencent (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any Losses in excess of the Tencent Purchase Price and shall have no liability to JD and JD Global (for indemnification or otherwise) with
respect to any Losses in excess of the total consideration paid by JD and JD Global hereunder, (b) Tencent shall have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any Losses in excess of the Tencent Purchase Price (c) JD
and JD Global together shall have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any Losses in excess of the total consideration paid by JD and JD Global hereunder.

is required to make such disclosure shall, to the extent permitted by law and so far as it is practicable, provide the other Parties with prompt notice of such requirement and cooperate with the other Parties at such other Parties’ request
and at the requesting Party’s cost, to enable such other Parties to seek an appropriate protection order or remedy. In addition, each Party may disclose, after giving prior notice to the other Parties to the extent practicable under the

the failure of the Closings to occur on or prior to such date;
