drafted as if they give rights to or impose obligations or restrictions upon Entities other than the Parties to this Agreement. To the extent such provisions do not legally apply to such non-Party Entities (for example, by virtue of applicable
principles of agency or contract law, including third-party beneficiary rules), the Managing Participants and/or Data Platform Management Committee will include provisions in the applicable Data Platform Participation Agreements and/or the Shared
Data Platform Rules, and where necessary will enter into other agreements with the applicable non-Party Entities, in each case that are consistent with and that give effect to the provisions of this Agreement pertaining to such non-Party Entities.

 ARTICLE III 

DATA PLATFORM MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

(c) establishing (i) reasonable procedures for giving written notice to Participants in connection with breaches of the Shared Data
Platform Rules, of other obligations of a Participant or its Controlled Affiliates under this Agreement, any applicable Data Platform Participation Agreement, or of Applicable Laws and Rules, and (ii) reasonable cure periods for such breaches
(which may vary by type of breach). The notice and cure provisions applicable to Managing Participants for any breach of the Shared Data Platform Rules or of this Agreement may differ from those applicable to other Participants; 

(d) determining whether (i) any Entity is a Controlled Affiliate of a Managing Participant and therefore qualifies as a Full Participant,
and (ii) any other Entity satisfies the Minimum Control Criteria to make it eligible as a Lesser Controlled Participant for approval by the Data Platform Management Committee to become a Full Participant, and subsequently determining whether to
approve any such Lesser Controlled Participant as a Full Participant;

Agreement on a case-by-case basis, provided that any such waivers shall be reported in writing to the Alibaba Independent Committee, with a reasonably detailed description of the contents of each waiver and the identity of the Participant to which
it applies, at least quarterly. 
 Section 3.4 Subcommittees. The Data Platform Management Committee may establish such
subcommittees (for matters such as security, data quality, privacy, maintenance, etc.) at such times and with such responsibilities as it may determine from time to time. Any such subcommittees shall be composed of representatives from each of the
Managing Participants (and of representatives of any other Full Participants, if invited to join such subcommittee by both Managing Participants), and all decisions of such subcommittees shall be made by unanimous consent with the representatives
from each Managing Participant (whether one or more than one) collectively having only one vote and representatives from other Full Participants, if any, having voice but no vote (unless otherwise agreed by the Managing Participants). Alibaba’s

Participant, Purchaser shall first notify Alibaba of and consult with Alibaba regarding such breach and allow Alibaba the opportunity to enforce the covenant, and the Managing Participants shall agree on a reasonable cure period to be provided to
the Lesser Controlled Participant with respect to the breach; and 
 (c) immediate termination of access to the Shared Data Platform upon an
uncured breach of the Shared Data Platform Rules, of Applicable Laws and Rules, or of its other obligations under its Data Platform Participation Agreement (if applicable) or of its obligation described in clauses (a) or (b) above. 

Section 4.2 Conditions on/Responsibility for Lesser Controlled Participants. In order to become a Full Participant, each Lesser
Controlled Participant must execute and remain bound by a Data Platform Participation Agreement pursuant to which it agrees to be bound by the Shared Data Platform Rules and, at a minimum, also agrees to be bound by the terms set forth in
Section 4.1(a)-(c) above. Each Managing Participant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Lesser Controlled Participants to observe the terms set forth in Section 4.1(a)-(c) above and to abide by Applicable Laws
and Rules and the Shared Data Platform Rules; provided that if such Managing Participant has exercised such commercially reasonable efforts, it shall not be liable for any failure on the part of its Lesser Controlled Participants to observe the
terms set forth in Section 4.1(a)-(c) above or to abide by Applicable Laws and Rules and the Shared Data Platform Rules. 

Section 4.3 Responsibility for Controlled Affiliates. Each Managing Participant shall cause its Controlled Affiliates to observe
the terms set forth in Section 4.1(a)-(c) above and to abide by Applicable Laws and Rules and the Shared Data Platform Rules. Each Managing Participant shall be liable for any act or omission of any of its Controlled Affiliates in
connection with the Shared Data or the Shared Data Platform, including any breach of any Shared Data Platform Rules, Applicable Laws and Rules, the terms set forth in Section 4.1(a)-(c) above, and for any act or omission that, if committed
by such Managing Participant, would constitute a breach of this Agreement. 
 Section 4.4 Loss of Full Participant Status. If a
Full Participant that was initially a Controlled Affiliate of a Managing Participant or a Lesser Controlled Participant ceases to be a Controlled Affiliate of that Managing Participant or to satisfy the Minimum Control Criteria, respectively, such
Full Participant’s rights to access and use the Shared Data Contributed by other Participants and all other rights of such Full Participant under this Agreement and any Data Platform Participation Agreement (as applicable) shall terminate
immediately unless otherwise set forth in such Full Participant’s Data Platform Participation Agreement or agreed by the Data Platform Management Committee. In the event of such termination of rights, the Full Participant that ceases to be a
Controlled Affiliate of a Managing Participant or to satisfy the Minimum Control Criteria shall have the right to download a copy of such Full Participant’s own Contributed Data from the Shared Data Platform for a period of sixty (60) days
after such termination or as the Data Platform Management Committee may otherwise determine.

 Section 4.5 Third Party Participants. Subject to the prior approval of the Data
Platform Management Committee and execution by such third party of a Data Platform Participation Agreement containing such terms and restrictions on access to and use of the Shared Data Platform and Shared Data as the Data Platform Management
Committee shall determine, a third party may be granted access to and use of the Contributed Data of other Participants, including any Contributed Data as integrated into, combined or commingled with, or used in connection with any New Compilations
or New Data Structures (such third parties who have been granted access and use, “Third Party Participants”). Prior to allowing any Third Party Participant to access or use any Full Participant’s Contributed Data, the
Data Platform Management Committee will give written notice to such Full Participant of the proposed access and use and any additional information related to such Third Party Participant that a Full Participant may reasonably request. If, within
thirty (30) days after such notice, the Full Participant objects in good faith to the proposed access and/or use by the Third Party Participant to all or a portion of the Full Participant’s Contributed Data as not in that Full
Participant’s business interest, then the Data Platform Management Committee and Alibaba shall prohibit such access and/or use of such Shared Data by such Third Party Participant. Any third parties granted a right to access or use the
Contributed Data of any Participant via the Shared Data Platform as of the effective date of this Agreement (as set forth in Schedule 1 to this Agreement) shall be deemed to have been approved by the Data Platform Management Committee to be Third
Party Participants, subject to such third party’s execution of a Data Platform Participation Agreement. 
 ARTICLE V 

SHARED DATA PLATFORM 

Section 5.1 Ownership and Operation. Alibaba shall operate and maintain the Shared Data Platform and shall furnish, own, or
license from third parties the hardware and software components constituting the Shared Data Platform, in accordance with this Agreement and the Shared Data Platform Rules. For the avoidance of doubt, when used herein, “operation” of the
Shared Data Platform shall mean operation of the Shared Data Platform itself and not operation of the respective platforms and systems that the Participants use to deliver and operate their own products and services. 

Section 5.2 Service Commitments. Alibaba shall operate the Shared Data Platform in compliance with requirements and service
commitments to be determined by the Data Platform Management Committee, which requirements and service commitments shall, in any event, (i) be consistent with prevailing industry standards in the PRC (with respect to services provided by
Alibaba in the PRC) or prevailing industry standards of any other jurisdiction (with respect to services provided by Alibaba in such jurisdiction) that may be applicable from time to time, (ii) require Alibaba to provide to all Full
Participants other than Alibaba service levels no lower than those provided to Alibaba itself, and (iii) afford the service levels that the Data Platform Management Committee determines are reasonably necessary to enable Purchaser and its
Controlled Affiliates to meet their legal and regulatory obligations of which Purchaser informs the Data Platform Management Committee from time to time or of which Alibaba and/or the Data Platform Management Committee otherwise already has
knowledge. 

  
 -11- 








 Section 5.3 Costs. The costs attributable to the operation of the Shared Data
Platform shall be shared among all Participants on a fair and reasonable basis as determined by the Data Platform Management Committee. The Participants shall report to the Data Platform Management Committee such information as it may reasonably
require to calculate each Participant’s share of such costs. Payment of shared costs shall be made by Participants to Alibaba in arrears on a quarterly basis, based on a quarterly report sent to all such Participants by the Data Platform
Management Committee showing the basis upon which the Data Platform Management Committee computed the total costs attributable to the operation of the Shared Data Platform for such quarter, the formula or other basis upon which the Data Platform
Management Committee computed each Participant’s share of such total costs (which, in the case of some Participants, may be set forth in such Participant’s Data Platform Participation Agreement), and the amount of each Participant’s
share of such costs payable with respect to such quarter. Payment by each Participant to Alibaba of such Participant’s share of such costs, as set forth in such report, shall be due no later than sixty (60) days after the date of such
report. Alibaba shall have the right to enforce such payment obligations, including the right to suspend or terminate access to the Shared Data Platform as a result of an uncured breach thereof. 

ARTICLE VI 
 DATA
CONTRIBUTION 
 Section 6.1 Obligation. Each Full Participant shall Contribute to the Shared Data Platform all its own
Primary Data as well as any New Compilations and New Data Structures it creates or jointly creates from Shared Data, and each Third Party Participant shall Contribute to the Shared Data Platform such data as shall be stipulated in its Data Platform
Participation Agreement; provided, however, that a Participant shall not be obligated to Contribute any data to the Shared Data Platform: (i) if to do so would violate any Applicable Laws and Rules; or (ii) to the extent that
any such data contains third party data, data structures or tables that are subject to confidentiality or similar obligations (including any use restrictions) imposed by that third party in connection with the provision of that third party data,
data structures or tables. Each Participant shall undertake in good faith to limit any restrictions on its Contribution of third party data, data structures or tables to the Shared Data Platform, and if a Participant wishes to change an applicable
privacy policy in a manner that would materially restrict or limit its ability to Contribute Primary Data or New Compilations and New Data Structures to the Shared Data Platform, to the extent consistent with such Participant’s compliance with
its obligations under Applicable Laws and Rules, it shall consult with the Data Platform Management Committee before making any such change.

 LICENSES; USE AND DISCLOSURE 

Section 7.1 Licenses. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Participant shall grant, and each Managing

non-sublicensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to access and use the licensor’s Contributed Data in accordance with, and subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in, the Shared Data Platform Rules, this Agreement, such
other Participant’s Data Platform Participation Agreement (as applicable), and Applicable Laws and Rules. For the avoidance of doubt, the scope and nature of rights and licenses granted to any Lesser Controlled Participant or Third Party

Section 7.2 Scope of Access and Use. Unless otherwise determined by the Data Platform Management Committee, each Full Participant
shall be entitled to full and unfettered access to and use of all Shared Data on the Shared Data Platform at no cost (other than costs for operating the Shared Data Platform to be shared as set forth under Section 5.3 above), including the
right to create and use New Compilations and New Data Structures from Shared Data, subject to (i) the Shared Data Platform Rules, (ii) Applicable Laws and Rules, and (iii) the other restrictions and obligations set forth in this
Agreement and in the Full Participant’s Data Platform Participation Agreement (as applicable). 
 Section 7.3 Certain
Limitations. No Participant will have the right to use the trademarks or brands of another Participant in connection with use of the Shared Data Platform or in connection with the other Participant’s Contributed Data without the prior
written consent of such other Participant and subject to the trademarks or brands guidelines of the Entity holding proprietary rights in such trademarks or brands. No Participant shall disclose the source or identity of the owner of any Contributed
Data of another Participant in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Agreement or under its Data Platform Participation Agreement (as applicable) without the prior written consent of such other Participant. 

  
 -13- 








 Section 7.4 Confidentiality and Other Restrictions. Notwithstanding any rights a
Participant may otherwise have under this Agreement or Applicable Laws and Rules (including with respect to any New Compilation or New Data Structure created by such Participant): (i) no Participant shall sell, license, transfer, grant access
to or disclose to any Non-Participant any Contributed Data of another Participant (including any Contributed Data that may be integrated into, combined or commingled with, or used in connection with, any New Compilation or New Data Structure), or
any New Compilation or New Data Structure incorporating, or derived in whole or in part from, any Contributed Data of another Participant, except, in each case, (a) (1) with the prior written consent of such other Participant(s) or the
Data Platform Management Committee or (2) as disclosure is required by Applicable Laws and Rules, provided that if a Participant believes that any such disclosure is required by Applicable Laws and Rules, it will, to the extent
consistent with such Participant’s compliance with its obligations pursuant to Applicable Laws and Rules, prior to making such disclosure, provide reasonable advanced notice to the Participant that contributed the applicable Contributed Data
and cooperate with such Participant to obtain confidential protection for any such disclosed Contributed Data, including pursuant to a protective order or similar mechanisms to the extent possible, and in any event will disclose no more than the
minimum amount of such Contributed Data necessary to comply with the relevant Applicable Laws and Rules, and (b) in compliance with Applicable Laws and Rules, any governing contractual obligations and any third party
confidentiality and similar obligations (including use restrictions); and (ii) no Participant shall sell, license, transfer, grant access to, disclose to, or otherwise permit the use of, the Contributed Data of any other Participant (including
any Contributed Data that may be integrated into, combined or commingled with, or used in connection with, any New Compilation or New Data Structure), or any New Compilation or New Data Structure incorporating, or derived in whole or in part from,
any Contributed Data of another Participant, to or by any Participant who is not entitled to have access to or use of such Contributed Data. For clarity, the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.4 shall not limit or otherwise prohibit a
Participant from licensing, selling, transferring or disclosing to a third party, as part of a product or service of such Participant, information computed from or otherwise derived from the Contributed Data of another Participant (such as a credit
score), to the extent that such information does not itself disclose or contain any Contributed Data or identify the Participant who Contributed such Contributed Data (except with the prior written consent of such Participant). 

Section 7.5 Disclosure and Use of Own Data. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or otherwise restrict any
Participant’s rights to freely use, transfer, disclose, license or otherwise exploit any of its own Primary Data (whether or not constituting Shared Data) in the continued operation of its current or future businesses, ventures, products and
services, during the term of this Agreement or thereafter; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not affect either Managing Participant’s non-compete obligations under Section 9.9 of the Transaction Agreement. 

ARTICLE VIII

and other derivative works created by a Participant derived solely from such Participant’s Primary Data, whether or not constituting Contributed Data, shall, in each case, be held and owned solely by that Participant, subject to the rights to
access and use expressly set forth in this Agreement. Creation by a Participant of a New Compilation or New Data Structure incorporating or derived in whole or in part from any Primary Data of another Participant shall not result in the creating
Participant’s obtaining of any right, title or interest (whether sole or joint) in or to such Primary Data of such other Participant (other than the rights of access and use expressly set forth in this Agreement). 

  
 -14- 








 Section 8.2 Solely Developed Products and Services. All right, title and interest
(including applicable IP Rights) in and to any product or service that is developed solely by a single Participant utilizing Shared Data shall be held and owned solely by that Participant, subject to retention by each Participant of sole ownership

Shared Data, the ownership of applicable IP Rights in the product or service and appropriate economic and other arrangements with respect to that product or service shall be subject to their separate agreement with respect to such product or
service, subject to retention by each Participant of sole ownership of any Contributed Data Contributed by such Participant. 

Section 8.4 No Transfer of IP Rights. Without limiting the provisions of Section 8.3: (i) nothing in this Agreement or
in any Data Platform Participation Agreement shall be construed, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise, as transferring or as obligating any Participant to transfer ownership of any IP Rights to any other Participant; and (ii) each
Participant reserves all rights in its IP Rights other than the licenses expressly granted in this Agreement and/or the applicable Data Platform Participation Agreement. 

ARTICLE IX 

PARTICIPANT PROHIBITIONS AND OBLIGATIONS 

Section 9.1 Modification of Data. The Data Platform Management Committee shall establish, as part of the Shared Data Platform
Rules, such rules with respect to modification of Shared Data as may be necessary from time to time or reasonably requested by either Managing Participant. 

Section 9.2 Deletion of Data. No Participant shall delete any Shared Data from the Shared Data Platform, except that a Participant
shall have the right to request that Alibaba delete any of such Participant’s own Contributed Data from the Shared Data Platform to the extent: (i) necessary to comply with any Applicable Laws and Rules; or (ii) such Contributed Data
is subject to confidentiality or similar obligations (including any use restrictions) that may prohibit or restrict the sharing thereof with or access thereto by another Participant. Such Participant shall inform the Data Platform Management
Committee of the reasons such Participant believes such deletion should be made. The Data Platform Management Committee shall make a determination in good faith as to whether such reasons are valid or correct, and if it determines that such reasons
are valid or correct, it will instruct Alibaba to make the deletion. In the event that the Data Platform Management Committee determines that such reasons are not valid or correct, and the Participant disagrees with such determination, then
designated representatives of the Data Platform Management Committee (including at least one representative of each Managing Participant) and such Participant shall meet during a thirty (30) day period to attempt in good faith to resolve such
disagreement, and if they are unable to resolve such disagreement after such thirty (30) day period, the dispute shall be referred to arbitration under the procedures set forth in Section 16.2 below. Upon the deletion of any such
Contributed Data from the Shared Data Platform, each other Participant’s rights to use such Contributed Data, including as such Contributed Data may have been incorporated into any New Compilation or New Data Structure, shall immediately
terminate. 

  
 -15- 








 Section 9.3 Copying of Data. No Participant shall copy Shared Data from the Shared
Data Platform onto any other platforms or media (whether such Shared Data is owned by Alibaba, a Participant, or any other Entity and whether in its original form or as incorporated into any New Compilation or New Data Structure), without the
approval of the Data Platform Management Committee. In no event shall the Data Platform Management Committee permit any such copying, nor shall any Participant perform any such copying (even if approved by the Data Platform Management Committee), if
it would (i) violate any Applicable Laws and Rules, or (ii) breach any confidentiality or contractual obligations of any Participant whose data would be copied; provided, that this Section 9.3 shall not limit any
Participant’s rights or ability to copy or transfer its own Contributed Data. 
 Section 9.4 Security Standards. Alibaba
shall be responsible for implementing (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement) security measures consistent with prevailing industry standards in the PRC (with respect to Contributed Data held by Alibaba in the PRC or Contributed
by an Entity subject to such standards) or prevailing industry standards of any other jurisdiction (with respect to Contributed Data held by Alibaba in such jurisdiction or Contributed by an Entity subject to such standards) that may be applicable
from time to time with respect to operation of the Shared Data Platform, in each case as necessary to comply with all Applicable Laws and Rules, and as necessary to meet all security standards required under the Shared Data Platform Rules as they
may be modified from time to time in accordance with this Agreement. Each Participant shall be responsible for implementing (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement) security measures pertaining to its own collection and
Contribution of Contributed Data to, and access to and use of, the Shared Data Platform, in each case consistent with prevailing industry standards in the PRC or any other jurisdiction in which such Contributed Data is held or to which the Entity
providing such Contributed Data is subject, and in each case as necessary to enable Alibaba to comply with its security-related obligations under this Agreement, to comply with all Applicable Laws and Rules, and to meet all security standards
required under the Shared Data Platform Rules as they may be modified from time to time in accordance with this Agreement. To the extent any Contributed Data is subject to prevailing industry standards of more than one jurisdiction pursuant to the
foregoing, the prevailing industry standards more protective of the Contributed Data shall apply with respect to such Contributed Data. As a condition to Alibaba’s compliance with the foregoing requirements, each Participant shall provide
Alibaba with prior written notice of any Contributed Data that it Contributes to the Shared Data Platform that was obtained from or originated with an Entity that is subject to prevailing industry standards of any jurisdiction other than the PRC,
including reasonable information regarding the applicable prevailing industry standards sufficient to enable Alibaba to comply therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, Alibaba shall not be liable for any breach of this Section 9.4 to the extent
that any applicable Participant has failed to comply with the foregoing notice requirements with respect to any such Contributed Data Contributed to the Shared Data Platform or to the extent otherwise attributable to any failure of a Participant to
comply with its obligations pursuant to this Section 9.4. 

  
 -16- 








 Section 9.5 Security Breaches. Each Participant shall promptly report any material
security breaches, hacks, unauthorized access or loss of data concerning the Shared Data Platform (each a “Security Breach”) to the Data Platform Management Committee and take corrective actions to prevent further
unauthorized acts or losses. Upon the occurrence of any Security Breach (or Alibaba’s reasonable belief that a Security Breach is possible), notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Alibaba shall be entitled to take
all actions reasonably necessary to protect against the actual or potential Security Breach and otherwise to minimize any unauthorized access to or use of any Shared Data or the Shared Data Platform, including, only to the extent reasonably
necessary for such purposes, by restricting access to or suspending the operation of the Shared Data Platform until the actual or potential Security Breach is resolved. 

Section 9.6 Disaster Recovery Plan. Alibaba shall implement and maintain disaster recovery facilities and a written plan to ensure
continued operation of the Shared Data Platform in accordance with the Shared Data Platform Rules.

Data Platform Participation Agreement (as applicable) with respect to its access to or use of the Shared Data Platform, or (c) the Shared Data Platform Rules; (ii) infringement or misappropriation of third party IP Rights arising out of
the indemnifying Participant’s provision of its Contributed Data to the Shared Data Platform or the use thereof by any other Participant in accordance with this Agreement or its Data Platform Participation Agreement (as applicable),
(iii) the indemnifying Participant’s violation of Applicable Laws and Rules or any governing contractual obligations, including any duties of confidentiality and similar obligations (including use restrictions) owed to any third party, and
(iv) the indemnifying Participant’s access to or use of the Shared Data Platform in any manner other than as permitted under this Agreement, the relevant Data Platform Participation Agreement or the Shared Data Platform Rules. 

Section 14.2 Limitations. In no event will a Participant have any indemnity obligations or other liability under clause
(ii) of Section 14.1 to the extent the allegations of infringement or misappropriation are based on the combination of such Participant’s Contributed Data with data, products, services, methods, or other elements not furnished by such
Participant, or any modifications to such Participant’s Contributed Data made by anyone other than such Participant (without such Participant’s express consent) or a person acting on such Participant’s behalf, if the infringement or
misappropriation would have been avoided but for such combination or modification. In addition, if a Participant’s Contributed Data or the use thereof becomes or, in such Participant’s reasonable judgment is likely to become, the subject
of any third party infringement or misappropriation allegations, such Participant may, by written notice, direct the other Participants not to use the affected Contributed Data, and shall have no indemnity obligations or other liability under clause
(ii) of Section 14.1 with respect to any other Participant’s subsequent use of such Contributed Data in violation of such direction. 

Section 14.3 Indemnification of Alibaba. All Participants (other than Alibaba) shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold
harmless Alibaba, its Controlled Affiliates, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and permitted successors and assigns from any and all liabilities arising as a result of or in connection with
Alibaba’s ownership, operation and maintenance of the Shared Data Platform, except to the extent any such liabilities arise as a direct result of Alibaba’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or material breach of its obligations
pursuant to this Agreement with respect to ownership, operation and maintenance of the Shared Data Platform or the Shared Data Platform Rules. As among the jointly and severally liable Participants, the Participant(s) who by their acts or omissions
caused or contributed to liability on the part of Alibaba for which the indemnity obligation to Alibaba arose shall reimburse any other Participants any amounts such other Participants paid pursuant to the joint and several indemnity.

 Section 14.4 Indemnification Procedures. 

(a) Promptly after an Entity seeking to be indemnified under Section 14.1 or 14.3 (the “Indemnified Entity”)
receives notice of the commencement or threatened commencement of any action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration, investigation or litigation, whether civil or criminal, at law or in equity, made or brought by a third party (each a
“Third Party Claim”), or after becoming aware of having incurred any other liabilities, in respect of which the Indemnified Entity will seek indemnification under Section 14.1 or 14.3, the Indemnified Entity shall notify
the Participant from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Entity”) regarding such Third Party Claim or other liabilities in writing. No failure to so notify the Indemnifying Entity shall relieve it of its obligations
under this Agreement, except to the extent that it can demonstrate that it was materially prejudiced by such failure. 
 (b) The Indemnifying
Entity shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of notice to elect, at its option, to assume and control the defense of, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such Third Party Claim, and shall be entitled to assert any and all
defenses available to the Indemnified Entity to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Entity shall have no right to assume and control, and the Indemnified Entity shall at all times
remain in sole control of (including selecting counsel), the defense of any Third Party Claim related to taxes. If the Indemnifying Entity shall undertake to compromise or defend any such Third Party Claim, it shall promptly, but in any event within
thirty (30) days of the receipt of notice from the Indemnified Entity of such Third Party Claim, notify the Indemnified Entity of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Entity shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Entity and its
counsel in the compromise of, or defense against, any such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnifying Entity shall not settle, compromise or discharge any such Third Party Claim in any manner involving any
remedy other than the payment of monetary damages by the Indemnifying Entity without the Indemnified Entity’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), and (ii) the Indemnifying
Entity shall not admit any liability with respect to any such Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Entity’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned. 

(c) Notwithstanding an election by the Indemnifying Entity to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Entity shall have
the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Entity shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel only if (i), in the reasonable opinion of counsel
for the Indemnified Entity, there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Entity and the Indemnifying Entity that makes representation by the same counsel or the counsel selected by the Indemnifying Entity inappropriate, in which case the
Indemnifying Entity shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel of the Indemnified Entity in connection with such defense, or (ii) the Indemnifying Entity shall have authorized the Indemnified Entity to employ
separate counsel at the Indemnifying Entity’s expense. 

  
 -23- 








 (d) The Indemnified Entity, the Indemnifying Entity, and their respective counsel shall cooperate
in the defense of any Third Party Claim subject to Sections 14.1 and 14.3, keep such persons informed of all developments relating to any such Third Party Claims, and provide copies of all relevant correspondence and documentation relating thereto,
except as necessary to preserve attorney-client, work-product and other applicable privileges. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Indemnified Entity’s cooperation shall be borne by the Indemnifying Entity. In any
event, the Indemnified Entity shall have the right at its own expense to participate in the defense of such asserted liability. 
 (e) If the
Indemnifying Entity does not elect to defend a Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 14.4(b), or does not defend such Third Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Entity shall have the right, in addition to any other right or remedy it may
have hereunder, at the Indemnifying Entity’s expense, to defend such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Entity shall not settle, compromise or discharge, or admit any liability with respect to, any such Third Party Claim
without the Indemnifying Entity’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned. 

ARTICLE XV 

ENFORCEMENT AND MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENTS 

Section 15.1 Enforcement. Alibaba shall have the sole right and obligation to enforce this Agreement against Purchaser and its
Controlled Affiliates, and Purchaser shall have the sole right and obligation to enforce this Agreement against Alibaba and its Controlled Affiliates. Alibaba shall have the primary right and obligation to enforce (a) the payment obligations of
other Participants pursuant to Section 5.3 and (b) any Data Platform Participation Agreements, provided that (i) a Data Platform Participation Agreement may also be enforced by other parties to such agreement and (ii) subject to
Section 4.1(b), Purchaser shall be entitled to enforce as a third party beneficiary the non-competition covenant contained in the Data Platform Participation Agreement of any Lesser Controlled Participant. 

Section 15.2 Injunctive Relief. Each of Alibaba and Purchaser, in enforcing this Agreement, shall be entitled, without any proof
of actual damages (and in addition to any other remedies that may be available to it) to an injunction to prevent breaches of or failures to perform under this Agreement and to specific performance of obligations under this Agreement. 

Section 15.3 Modification. The terms and conditions of the form(s) of Data Platform Participation Agreement shall be determined by
agreement of the Managing Participants, subject to prior approval of the Alibaba Independent Committee. This Agreement and the form(s) of Data Platform Participation Agreement may be amended only by agreement of the Managing Participants, subject to
prior approval of the Alibaba Independent Committee. The terms and conditions of any particular Data Platform Participation Agreement, and any amendments thereto, to the extent such terms and conditions or amendments are more restrictive as to the
relevant Participant’s access to and use of the Shared Data and the Shared Data Platform than the applicable form of Data Platform Participation Agreement, may be determined by the Data Platform Management Committee.

 ARTICLE XVI 

GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION 

Section 16.1 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE UNDER, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND TO THE
EXTENT POSSIBLE, ALL OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. 

Section 16.2 Arbitration. 

(a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated
hereby, including the breach, termination or validity hereof but excluding any dispute with respect to breach of a non-competition covenant contained in any Data Platform Participation Agreement, that is either (i) not of the type that is
subject to the dispute resolution procedures set up by the Data Platform Management Committee per the provisions of Section 3.3(g) above or (ii) is subject to the dispute resolution procedures of Section 3.3(g) but the Data Platform
Management Committee has been unable to resolve such dispute pursuant to such procedures and has recommended to the Managing Participants that it be referred to arbitration under these procedures, shall be finally settled exclusively by arbitration.
The arbitration shall be administered by and conducted in accordance with the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) in effect at the time of the arbitration, except as they may be modified by mutual
agreement of the Parties. The seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore, provided, that the arbitrators may hold hearings in such other locations as the arbitrators determine to be most convenient and efficient for all of the Parties to such
arbitration under the circumstances. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. 
 (b) The arbitration shall be conducted by
three arbitrators. The Party (or the Parties, acting jointly, if there are more than one) initiating arbitration (the “Claimant”) shall appoint an arbitrator in its request for arbitration (the
“Request”). The other Party (or the other Parties, acting jointly, if there is more than one (1)) to the arbitration (the “Respondent”) shall appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of
receipt of the Request and shall notify the Claimant of such appointment in writing. If within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Request by the Respondent, either Party has not appointed an arbitrator, then that arbitrator shall be appointed
by the ICC. The first two (2) arbitrators appointed in accordance with this provision shall appoint a third (3rd) arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the Respondent has notified Claimant of the appointment of the
Respondent’s arbitrator or, in the event of a failure by a Party to appoint, within thirty (30) days after the ICC has notified the Parties and any arbitrator already appointed of the appointment of an arbitrator on behalf of the Party
failing to appoint. When the third (3rd) arbitrator has accepted the appointment, the two arbitrators making the appointment shall promptly notify the Parties of the appointment. If the first two (2) arbitrators appointed fail to appoint a
third (3rd) arbitrator or so to notify the Parties within the time period prescribed above, then the ICC shall appoint the third (3rd) arbitrator and shall promptly notify the Parties of the appointment. The third (3rd) arbitrator
shall act as chair of the tribunal. 

  
 - 25 - 








 (c) The arbitral award shall be in writing, state the reasons for the award, and be final and
binding on the Parties. The award may include an award of costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. In addition to monetary damages, the arbitral tribunal shall be empowered to award equitable relief,
including an injunction and specific performance of any obligation under this Agreement. The arbitral tribunal is empowered to award only damages of the types for which Parties to this Agreement may bear liability as set forth in Articles XII and
XIII, and is not empowered to award any damages that are the subject of the disclaimer of damages set forth in Article XIII. The arbitral tribunal shall be authorized in its discretion to grant pre-award and post-award interest at commercial rates.
Any costs, fees or taxes incident to enforcing the award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws and Rules, be charged against the Party resisting such enforcement. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having
jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its assets. 
 (d) In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution
of related disputes, and upon request of any Party to the arbitration proceeding, the arbitration tribunal may, within ninety (90) days of its appointment, consolidate the arbitration proceeding with any other arbitration proceeding involving
any of the Parties relating to this Agreement. The arbitration tribunal shall not consolidate such arbitrations unless it determines that (i) there are issues of fact or law common to the proceedings, so that a consolidated proceeding would be
more efficient than separate proceedings, and (ii) no Party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise. In the event of different rulings on this question by the arbitration tribunal constituted
hereunder and any tribunal constituted under the Transaction Agreement, the ruling of the tribunal constituted under the Transaction Agreement will govern, and that tribunal will decide all disputes in the consolidated proceeding. 

(e) The Parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including
any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any awards) shall not be disclosed beyond the tribunal, the ICC, the Parties, their counsel and any person necessary to the conduct of the
proceeding, except as may be lawfully required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or otherwise, or as required by NASDAQ rules or the rules of any other quotation system or exchange on which the disclosing Party’s equity
securities are listed or by Applicable Laws and Rules. 
 (f) The costs of arbitration shall be borne by the losing Party unless otherwise
determined by the arbitration award. 
 (g) All payments made pursuant to the arbitration decision or award and any judgment entered thereon
shall be made in United States dollars (or, if a payment in United States dollars is not permitted by Applicable Laws and Rules and if mutually agreed upon by the Parties, in PRC currency), free from any deduction, offset or withholding for taxes.

 (h) Notwithstanding this Section 16.2 or any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no Party shall be obligated to follow
the foregoing arbitration procedures where such Party intends to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an interim injunction or similar equitable relief against any other Party, provided, that there is no unreasonable delay in the
prosecution of that application. None of the Parties shall institute a proceeding in any court or administrative agency to resolve a dispute arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement, except for a court proceeding to compel
arbitration or otherwise enforce this agreement to arbitrate, to enforce an order or award of the arbitration tribunal or petition for the provisional or emergency remedies provided for herein. The Parties waive objection to venue and consent to the
nonexclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore in any action to enforce this arbitration agreement, any order or award of the arbitration tribunal or the provisional or emergency remedies provided for herein. In any such permitted
court action, the Parties agree that delivery of the complaint or petition by international courier, with proof of delivery, shall constitute valid and sufficient service, and they individually and collectively waive any objection to such service.

 ARTICLE XVII 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 17.1 Non-Contravention. During the term of this Agreement, no Party shall, directly or indirectly, take any action having
a primary purpose of circumventing or rendering inapplicable, in whole or in part, the rights or obligations of either Party under this Agreement or under the applicable provisions of any Data Platform Participation Agreement. 

Section 17.2 Construction. Each Party represents and acknowledges that, in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, it has
been represented by and has relied upon the advice of counsel of its choice. Each Party hereby affirms that its counsel has had a substantial role in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. Therefore, each Party agrees that no rule of
construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafter shall be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement and in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, the Agreement shall be
construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties. 
 Section 17.3 Severability. Each provision of this Agreement shall be deemed a
material and integral part hereof. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 17.3, in the event of a final determination of invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement, the Parties shall negotiate in good
faith to amend this Agreement or to enter into a new agreement to replace such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) with valid, legal and enforceable provisions providing the Parties with benefits, rights and obligations that are
equivalent in all material respects as provided by this Agreement as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) had been valid, legal and enforceable. In the event the Parties are not able to reach agreement on such amendments or new
agreement, then the arbitrators (pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 16.2 of this Agreement) shall determine, as part of their arbitral award, such amendments or new agreement so as to provide the Parties with benefits, rights and
obligations that are equivalent in all material respects as provided by this Agreement as if the stricken provision(s) had been valid, legal and enforceable. 

Section 17.4 Relationship of Parties. The Parties to this Agreement shall at all times and for all purposes be deemed to be
independent contractors and no Party or its employees, representatives, subcontractors or agents shall have the right or power to bind the other. This Agreement shall not itself create or be deemed to create any relationship of joint venture,
partnership, employment, franchise, agency, or similar association or relationship among the Parties or their Controlled Affiliates, employees, subcontractors or agents. 

  
 - 27 - 








 Section 17.5 Waiver. The failure by a Party to enforce any provision of this
Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such provisions or of the right to enforce that, or any other, provision of this Agreement. No waiver shall be construed as a continuing waiver, and no failure or delay by any Party in exercising any
right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 

Section 17.6 Amendments. No amendment or waiver or discharge hereof (including any Schedule hereto) shall be valid unless in
writing and signed by the Party against which such amendment, waiver or discharge is sought to be enforced. No provision of this Agreement requiring the approval of the Alibaba Independent Committee may be amended without first obtaining the prior
written consent of the Alibaba Independent Committee. 
 Section 17.7 Assignability and Binding Effect. Neither Party may assign
any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the other Party (and, in the case of assignment by Purchaser, without the prior written consent of the Alibaba Independent Committee). Any assignment
without such prior written approval will be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will bind and benefit the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

internationally recognized courier service, facsimile or electronic mail and shall be deemed received (i) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, (ii) on the date of confirmation of receipt if delivered by an internationally
