forth in reasonable detail all items disputed by the Seller Representatives, together with the Seller Representatives proposed changes thereto, including an explanation in reasonable detail of the basis on which the Seller Representatives
propose such changes. If (i) by written notice to Purchaser, either of the Seller Representatives accepts the Adjustment Amount Statement or (ii) the Seller Representatives fail to jointly deliver an Adjustment Notice within the prescribed
thirty (30)-day period (which failure shall result in the Seller Representatives and Sellers being deemed to have agreed to the Adjustment Amount Statement delivered by Purchaser), the Adjustment Amount Statement delivered by Purchaser shall become
final and binding on the Seller Representatives, Sellers and Purchaser as of the date on which the earlier of the foregoing events occurs.

(d) If the Seller Representatives have timely jointly delivered an Adjustment Notice, then Purchaser and the Seller Representatives shall attempt to reach agreement on the matters identified in the
Adjustment Notice. If, by the thirtieth (30th) day following Purchasers receipt of the Adjustment Notice, Purchaser and the Seller Representatives have not agreed in writing to the resolution of the matters identified in the Adjustment
Notice, then such matters shall be submitted to Ernst & Young or such other independent accounting firm as may be agreed by the Seller Representatives and Purchaser, as the case may be (the Independent Accountants) for
resolution. For the avoidance of doubt, if Purchaser and both Seller Representatives (and not one only) have agreed in writing to the resolution of the matters identified in the Adjustment Notice, such resolution of the matters identified in the
Adjustment Notice shall become final and binding on the Seller Representatives, Sellers and Purchaser as of the date on which the foregoing events occurs. Each of Sellers and Purchaser agree that it shall not engage, directly or indirectly, or agree
to engage, the Independent Accountants to perform any services other than as the Independent Accountants pursuant hereto until the Adjustment Amount Statement and items thereon have been finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.7(d). Each
of the Seller Representatives and Purchaser agrees to execute, if requested by the Independent Accountants, a reasonable engagement letter. Purchaser and the Seller Representatives shall instruct the Independent Accountants to review this Agreement
and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating the Adjustment Amount and the Post-Closing Payment. In making such calculation, the Independent Accountants shall consider only those items or amounts in the Adjustment Amount
Statement and Purchasers calculation of the Adjustment Amount and the Post-Closing Payment as to which the Seller Representatives have disagreed in the Adjustment Notice. The Independent Accountants shall deliver to Purchaser and the Seller
Representatives, as promptly as practicable (but in any case no later than thirty (30) days from the date of engagement of the Independent Accountants), a report setting forth such calculation and the Adjustment Amount Statement shall be deemed
to be amended to reflect the calculation of the Adjustment Amount and the Post-Closing Payment as determined by the Independent Accountants and shall be deemed the Final Adjustment Amount Statement. The scope of the disputes to be
resolved by the Independent Accountants is limited to whether the amounts set forth on the line items on the Adjustment Amount Statement were obtained from and in accordance with the books and records of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and
are in accordance with IFRS applied on a basis consistent with prior periods and in conformity with the principles used by the Company in the preparation of its Financial Statements, and whether there were mathematical errors in the Adjustment
Amount Statement, in each case, to the extent related to the unresolved items set forth in the Adjustment Notice, and the Independent Accountants are not to make any other determination. Purchaser shall, and shall exercise the voting, governance and
contractual powers available to it to cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountants access to such employees, officers, and facilities and such books and records relating to the
disputed items as the Independent Accountants may reasonably request. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Sellers (allocated among Sellers according to their respective Proportional
Shares), on the one hand, and fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser, on the other hand. The Final Adjustment Amount Statement (including the calculation of the Post-Closing Payment thereon) as determined by the Independent Accountants shall be
final, non-appealable and binding upon Purchaser, the Seller Representatives and Sellers. The Independent Accountants shall act as an expert, not as an arbitrator.

(e) If the Post-Closing Payment is a negative amount, then Purchaser shall pay to each
Seller an amount in cash equal to such Sellers Proportional Share of the Post-Closing Payment plus interest on such amount from (and including) the Closing Date to (but excluding) the date of payment at the Specified Rate. If the Post-Closing
Payment is a positive amount, then Sellers shall collectively pay to Purchaser an amount in cash equal to the Post-Closing Payment (allocated among Sellers according to their respective Proportional Shares) plus interest on such amount from (and
including) the Closing Date to (but excluding) the date of payment at the Specified Rate. Each payment (if any) required by this Section 2.7(e) shall be made within five (5) Business Days following the date the Post-Closing Payment is
deemed to be finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.7. All payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to, in the case of payment made by Purchaser, the
Seller Designated Accounts or, in the case of payments made by Sellers, an account to be designated in writing by Purchaser.

reasonable judgment of Purchaser) than those in the Debt Commitment Letter as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event but no later than the Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in no
event shall Purchaser be required to seek or obtain equity financing.

Purchaser Share Price for the sole purpose of closing the Transaction as contemplated herein, then:

(i)
Purchaser shall not consummate any such issuance without the prior written consent of both Seller Representatives (and not one only), provided however, that if either Seller Representative does not consent to such issuance within five
(5) Business Days of receiving the notice, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(g) so long as it is not otherwise in material breach of this Agreement; and

(ii) In the event both Seller Representatives consent in writing to such issuance, the anti-dilution rights of GSSIII and
Merrylin as set forth in Section 6.28(b) shall apply mutatis mutandisto the issuance of Additional Securities pursuant to this Section 6.28(c).

67

cause of such Law or Governmental Order;

would be reasonably expected to prevent, Purchaser from procuring the Debt Financing (or, if alternative financing is being used in accordance with Section 6.6, such alternative financing) on terms and conditions that are equal to, or not
substantially less favorable to Purchaser than, the terms and conditions of the Debt Financing and as a result Purchaser has been so prevented, or would reasonably be expected to be so prevented, for a period of thirty (30) calendar days, or

Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(f) if Purchaser shall have materially breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform would give rise to

For the avoidance of
doubt in this Section 8.1: (i) Purchasers failure to close due to the unavailability of the Debt Financing (or, if alternative financing is being used in accordance with Section 6.6, such alternative financing) shall not be
deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement by Purchaser if Purchaser is entitled to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(f); and (ii) Purchasers failure to close due to the unavailability of the Debt
Financing (or, if alternative financing is being used in accordance with Section 6.6, such alternative financing) shall be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement by Purchaser if Purchaser is not entitled to terminate this Agreement in
accordance with Section 8.1(f).

Section 8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this
Agreement by a Party pursuant to Section 8.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given by the terminating Party to the other Parties, and this Agreement shall thereupon terminate and become void and have no effect, and the transactions

(d) Determination of Breach and Calculation of Losses. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement and for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of the indemnification provisions in Section 9.2(a)(i), Section 9.2(b)(i), Section 9.2(c)(i) and 9.2(c)(ii):

(i) any determination of whether any breach of a representation, warranty and/or covenant has occurred under this
Agreement shall be made in strict accordance with the terms of the relevant representation, warranty and/or covenant, taking into account any and all Company Material Adverse Effect or Purchaser Material Adverse Effect
qualification or any materiality or similar qualification contained therein; and

(ii) once a breach is
determined to have occurred in accordance with Section 9.2(d)(i), the calculation of any Losses resulting from such breach shall then be made without discounting for any Company Material Adverse Effect or Purchaser Material
Adverse Effect qualification or any materiality or similar qualification contained in the relevant representation, warranty and/or covenant so breached.

(e) Procedures Relating to Indemnification.

(i) Any party
seeking indemnification under this Section 9.2 (an Indemnified Party) shall promptly give the party from whom indemnification is being sought (an Indemnifying Party) notice (a Claim
Notice) of any matter which such Indemnified Party has determined has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement stating in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, and
containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from
any of its obligations under this Section 9.2 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. With respect to any recovery or indemnification sought by an Indemnified Party from the Indemnifying Party that
does not involve a Third Party Claim, if the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Claim Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim (the Dispute
Notice), the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed with such claim. If the Indemnifying Party has disputed a claim for indemnification (including any Third Party Claim), the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified
Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution to such dispute. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party cannot resolve such dispute in thirty (30) days after delivery of the Dispute Notice, such dispute shall be
resolved by pursuant to Section 10.3.



73



---

(ii) The obligations and liabilities of an Indemnifying Party under this
Section 9.2 with respect to Losses arising from claims of any third party which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Section 9.2 (Third Party Claims) shall be governed by and contingent upon the
following additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days of the receipt by
the Indemnified Party of such notice and a copy of the papers served with respect to such claim (if any); provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations
under this Section 9.2 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that
may result from such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, but not obligated, to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice reasonably acceptable to the
Indemnified Party if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt of the notice furnished by the Indemnified Party pursuant to the first sentence of this
Section 9.2(e)(ii) provided, however, that in the event the Indemnifying Party assumes and controls the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, at its sole cost and expense, participate in the defense of such
Third Party Claim; provided, further, that if counsel to the Indemnified Party advises such Indemnified Party in writing that the Third Party Claim involves a conflict of interest (other than one of a monetary nature) that would make
it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (except that the
Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties, taken together). In the event the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any
such Third Party Claim as provided above, it will keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of progress of the defense of such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make
available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Partys possession or under the Indemnified Partys control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying
Party. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, it will keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of progress of the defense of such Third Party Claim,
and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Partys possession or under the
Indemnifying Partys control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party; provided, however, the Indemnified Party shall not, without the consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned), settle or compromise any such Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect of such Third Party Claim. The rights of any Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to any right of action (including
indemnification, cross-claims and counterclaims) that the Indemnified Party may have against any other Person with respect to any matter giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written
consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (i) settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the
delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a written release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim or (ii) settle or compromise any Third Party Claim in any manner that may adversely affect the
Indemnified Party other than as a result of money damages or other money payments (which shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party).

Section 9.3 Limitations on Claims

(a) Maximum Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 9.1, the rights of any Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee under Section 9.2 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(i) A Purchaser Indemnitee shall not be entitled to receive payment pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) or Section 9.2(b)(i) (x) in respect of any individual claim for Losses if such individual
claim does not exceed RMB4 million (an Excluded Claim) and (y) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by all Purchaser Indemnitees and which are determined to be indemnifiable based upon, arising out of
or resulting from the breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Company or Sellers exceeds the Liability Basket Threshold, in which event a Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled to the entire amount of such Losses; provided,
however, that other than substantially similar or related Excluded Claims arising out of the same general circumstances, no Excluded Claim shall be taken into account for purposes of determining whether the Liability Basket Threshold has been
met or exceeded; provided, further, that the Excluded Claim and the Liability Basket Threshold limitations shall not apply to Losses related to a breach of any of the representations and warranties of (x) Sellers set forth in
Section 3.1 (Organization and Qualification), Section 3.2 (Ownership of Acquired Shares), Section 3.3 (Authorization) and Section 3.7 (Brokers and Finders) and (y) the Company set forth in Section 4.1(a) (Organization
and Qualification), Section 4.2 (Authorization), Section 4.3 (Capitalization), Section 4.11 (Employee Benefit Plans), Section 4.19 (Brokers and Finders) and Section 4.22 (Circular 75 Registration) (collectively, the
Company Excluded Reps). A Seller Indemnitee shall not be entitled to receive payment pursuant to Section 9.2(c)(i) (x) in respect of any individual claim for Losses if such individual claim is an Excluded Claim and
(y) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by all Seller Indemnitees and which are determined to be indemnifiable based upon, arising out of or resulting from the breach of any of the representations or warranties of Purchaser
exceeds the Liability Basket Threshold, in which event a Seller Indemnitee shall be entitled to the entire amount of such Losses; provided, however, that other than substantially similar or related Excluded Claims arising out of the
same general circumstances, no Excluded Claim shall be taken into account for purposes of determining whether the Liability Basket Threshold has been met or exceeded; provided, further, that the Excluded Claim and the Liability Basket
Threshold limitations shall not apply to Losses related to a breach of any of the representations and warranties of Purchaser set forth in Section 5.1 (Organization and Qualification), Section 5.2 (Authorization) and Section 5.7
(Brokers and Finders) of this Agreement (collectively, the Purchaser Excluded Reps; and, together with the Company Excluded Reps, the Excluded Reps).



75



---

(ii) (A) The maximum aggregate amount of Losses for which Sellers
shall be liable pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) or Section 9.2(b)(i) (other than with respect to the Company Excluded Reps), and for which Purchaser shall be liable pursuant to Section 9.2(c)(i) (other than with respect to the Purchaser
Excluded Reps), shall in each case be an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the Final Purchase Price (the Cap) and (B) the maximum aggregate amount of Losses for which Sellers shall be liable pursuant to
(w) Section 9.2(a)(i) or Section 9.2(b)(i) solely with respect to the Company Excluded Reps and (x) Section 9.2(a)(ii) or Section 9.2(b)(ii), and for which Purchaser shall be liable pursuant to
(y) Section 9.2(c)(i) solely with respect to the Purchaser Excluded Reps and (z) Section 9.2(c)(ii), shall in each case be an amount equal to the Final Purchase Price (the Purchase Price Cap). In no event shall
a Seller be liable pursuant to this Article IX for more than such Sellers Proportional Share of any Losses. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights of any Purchaser Indemnitee for Losses pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(iii) and Section 9.4
shall not be limited by the provisions in Section 9.3(a)(i) or this Section 9.3(a)(ii) and shall be fully reimbursable and any amounts paid in connection with any claims for such Losses shall not be used in determining whether the
Liability Basket Threshold, Cap or Purchase Price Cap has been met.

(b) Additional Limitations.

(i) The amount of any Losses incurred by any Indemnified Party shall be reduced by the net amount such Indemnified Party
or any of its Affiliates recovers (after deducting all attorneys fees, expenses and other costs of recovery) from any insurer or other party liable for such Losses (other than any Party). Such Indemnified Party shall use reasonable best
efforts to effect any such recovery.



76



---

(ii) The amount of any Losses incurred by a Party shall be reduced by the
amount of any Tax benefit to such Party arising from the recognition of amounts that, absent this Section 9.2(b)(ii), would constitute Losses.

(iii) Any liability under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one warranty,
covenant or agreement.

(iv) No Party shall be entitled to recover the same Losses or obtain payment,
reimbursement or restitution for the same expenses more than once in respect of any inaccuracy or breach of any provision of this Agreement. No liability shall attach to any Party under this Agreement to the extent the subject thereof has otherwise
been made good or is compensated for.

(v) No matter shall be the subject of a claim to the extent that
adequate allowance, provision or reserve in respect of the Losses arising out of or relating to such matter shall have been expressly made in the (1) Financial Statements, or (2) the First Quarter Management Accounts to the extent
confirmed by the review as provided in Section 6.11.

(c) Limitation of Remedies.

(i) Except for the warranties set forth in this Agreement or any other agreements contemplated by this Agreement or in
any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto and thereto, none of Sellers nor its Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, subsidiaries, controlling persons, agents or representatives, makes or has made,
and each Seller and its Affiliates and all of their respective directors, officers, employees, subsidiaries, controlling persons, agents or representatives hereby negate and disclaim, any other warranty, written or oral, statutory, express or
implied, concerning the Acquired Shares, the business, assets or liabilities of any of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, warranties and covenants contained
herein made by or on behalf of a Party are made solely and exclusively by or on behalf of a Party and not by or on behalf of such Partys representatives (including employees) or any other Person. The provisions of this Section 9.3(c)(i)
are intended to be for the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the respective Affiliates of Sellers, and directors, officers, employees, subsidiaries, controlling persons, agents and representatives of Sellers and their Affiliates.

or other rights or claims of any nature whatsoever (including under statute, regulation, common law, in equity or for negligence) in respect thereof, all of which the Parties hereto hereby waive to the fullest extent permitted by law;
provided, however, that neither this Section 9.3 nor Section 9.1 shall limit the rights of any Purchaser Indemnitee for Losses in the event and to the extent of any fraud by any Seller in connection with this Agreement. For
purposes of this subsection, the term fraud when used with respect to any particular Party shall mean any common law fraud or any fraudulent or intentional breach of, or active concealment with respect to, any representations or
warranties made by such Party in this Agreement (but expressly not with respect to any representation or warranty of any other Party unless said Party had actual knowledge of or active participation in such other Partys fraud, fraudulent or
intentional breach, or active concealment).

Section 9.4 Tax Indemnity. Each Seller shall severally and not
jointly, in accordance with such Sellers Proportional Share, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnitees from any and all Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnitees during the thirty (30) months period following the Closing

any consolidated, combined, unitary or aggregate Tax Return, prior to the Closing Date;

(c) any breach of (i) any
representation or warranty contained in Section 4.6 (Taxes), and (ii) any covenant or agreement set forth in Section 6.5(k) (Conduct Prior to Closing) and Section 6.17 (Tax Matters);



78



---

(d) any and all liability for Taxes resulting from any transactions set forth on Schedule
6.5(l) of the Disclosure Schedules; and

(e) any payments required to be made after the Closing Date under any Tax sharing,
Tax indemnity, Tax allocation or similar Contracts (whether or not written) to which the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries was obligated, or was a party, on or prior to the Closing Date.

A Purchaser Indemnitee shall not be entitled to receive payment pursuant to this Section 9.4 unless and until the aggregate amount
of all Losses incurred by all Purchaser Indemnitees exceeds RMB15 million, in which event the Purchaser Indemnitees shall only be entitled to the amount in excess of RMB15 million; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall
not apply to: (i) penalty and/or interest on Losses associated with Taxes, or (ii) Losses incurred under Section 9.4(b). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to Taxes, this Section 9.4 shall be

Section 9.5 Escrow. The Escrow Amount shall be deposited prior to Closing with the Escrow Account Agent on behalf of each Seller and shall be used to pay or reimburse the Purchaser Indemnitees

soon thereafter as practicable, subject to Purchasers right of set-off set forth in Section 10.12, Purchaser and the Seller Representatives shall direct the Escrow Account Agent to pay to Sellers pursuant to the terms of the Escrow
Agreement: the amount by which (x) the remaining amount in the Escrow Account exceeds (y) the aggregate amount of any claims made by the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to Section 9.2 and Section 9.4 that are pending and
have not been resolved.



79



---

Section 9.6 Manner of Payment; Escrow Proceeds. Any indemnification of a
Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.4 shall first be disbursed from the Escrow Account in accordance with the Escrow Agreement up to an amount equal to such Sellers Proportional Share of the Escrow Amount
(taking into account any prior disbursements from the Escrow Amount) and afterwards (to the extent that a Purchaser Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, but a Sellers Proportional Share of the Escrow Amount is not sufficient to
cover any such Losses), shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the applicable Seller to Purchaser within fifteen (15) Business Days after the determination thereof; provided, however, the prior
sentence shall not apply to any Losses arising out of any fraud as defined in Section 9.3(c)(ii), and, at Purchasers sole discretion, Purchaser may seek indemnification from the Escrow Amount or directly against Sellers or the
shareholders, general partners or other Affiliates of Sellers in connection with a Loss related to fraud as defined in Section 9.3(c)(ii). In the event of any indemnification of a Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to Section 9.2 or
Section 9.4 as a result of a breach of a representation or warranty solely made by or breach of a covenant or agreement solely the obligation of a particular Seller, then any disbursements from the Escrow Account in respect of such
indemnification shall come solely from such Sellers Proportional Share of the Escrow Amount and then, to the extent that such Sellers Proportional Share of the Escrow Amount is exhausted, by wire transfer of immediately available funds
from the applicable Seller within fifteen (15) Business Days after the determination thereof. All payments paid by the Escrow Account Agent to Sellers, pursuant to this Article IX shall be distributed to Sellers, in accordance with their
Proportional Share; provided, however, that in the event there are any prior indemnification payments made from the Escrow Account on behalf of any individual Sellers then the applicable Seller Representative shall adjust each
Sellers right to such disbursements from the Escrow Account accordingly. It is expressly agreed that the Escrow Account Agent is solely responsible for making payments out of the Escrow Account in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and that
upon a distribution from the Escrow Account by the Escrow Account Agent, neither Purchaser, the Company nor the Seller Representatives (provided that the Seller Representatives uses their commercially reasonable efforts to distribute all amounts
received by it hereunder to Sellers in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement) shall have any further obligation, and shall be released from any liability, with respect to any payments (including any
claim regarding any allocation of any payments) by the Escrow Account Agent to any Seller. Following the Closing, in no event shall the Company or its Affiliates have any liability whatsoever to Sellers for breaches of the representations,
warranties, agreements or covenants of the Company and Sellers hereunder, and none of Sellers shall in any event seek contribution from the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries in respect of any indemnity payments required to be made pursuant
to this Agreement.

Section 9.7 Purchase Price Adjustment. The Parties agree that any indemnification payment made
pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

immunity from suit, execution, attachment (whether in aid of execution, before the making of a judgment or otherwise) or other legal process and to the extent that such immunity (whether or not claimed) may be attributed in any such jurisdiction to
Purchaser or its assets or revenues, Purchaser agrees not to claim and irrevocably waives such immunity to the full extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction.

Section 10.11 Limitation on Losses. No Party or other Person shall, under any circumstance, have any liability to any other Party or Person for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive

Section 10.12 Right of Set-Off. Each Party hereto, for itself and its successors
and permitted assigns, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any rights of set-off, netting, offset, recoupment, or similar rights that such Party or any of its successors and permitted assigns has or may have with respect to the payment of
the Estimated Purchase Price or any Adjustment Amount (in the case of Purchaser) or any other payments to be made by such Party pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement or any other document or instrument delivered by such Party in
connection herewith; provided, however, that Purchaser may set off any payment due from any Seller under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement against any payments owed to such Seller pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow
Agreement.

Section 10.13 No Right to Rescind or Terminate. Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement,
Purchaser shall not be entitled to rescind or terminate this Agreement, whether before or after Closing. Nothing in this Section 10.13 shall operate to limit or exclude any liability for fraud.

Section 10.14 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that if Sellers or the Company should fail to perform under any of the
provisions of this Agreement in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach any of the provisions of this Agreement, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and
that Purchaser shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity. Seller and the Company hereby waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. In no event shall Sellers,
the Seller Representative or the Company be entitled to seek specific performance with respect to any of Purchasers obligations arising under this Agreement.

Section 10.15 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof.

Section 10.16 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument binding upon all of the Parties notwithstanding the fact that all of the Parties are not signatory to the original or the same counterpart. For purposes of this Agreement, facsimile
signatures shall be deemed originals.

Section 10.17 Seller Representatives

(a) Each Seller hereby irrevocably appoints his respective Original Seller Representative as such Sellers representative,
attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of such Seller with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, including the transfer of the Acquired Shares
set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto next to such Sellers name to Purchaser, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and to act on behalf of such Seller in any amendment of or litigation or arbitration involving
this Agreement and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, including in connection with any indemnification matters pursuant to Article IX, and to execute all such documents, as such Seller Representative shall deem necessary
or appropriate in conjunction with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the power:

(i) to take all action necessary or desirable in connection with the waiver of any condition to the obligations of
Sellers to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(ii) to negotiate, execute and deliver
all ancillary agreements, certificates, statements, notices, approvals, extensions, waivers, undertakings, amendments and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (it being understood that such Seller shall execute and deliver any such documents which such Seller Representative agrees to execute);

(iii) to terminate this Agreement if Sellers are entitled to do so in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement;

(iv) to give and receive all notices and communications to be given or received by such Seller under this Agreement and
to receive service of process on behalf of such Seller in connection with any claims under this Agreement, including service of process in connection with arbitration;

(v) to take all actions under this Agreement which may be taken by such Seller and to do or refrain from doing any
further act or deed on behalf of such Seller which such Seller Representative deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement as fully and completely as such Seller could do if personally
present; and

(vi) to act for such Seller with respect to all indemnification matters referred to in this
Agreement, including the right to compromise on behalf of such Seller any indemnification claim by or against such Seller.

(b) Provided that a Seller Representative uses commercially reasonable efforts to distribute all amounts received by it hereunder to the
relevant Sellers in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such Seller Representative will not be liable for any act taken or omitted by it as permitted under this Agreement, except if such act is taken or omitted in bad faith
or by willful breach or gross negligence. Such Seller Representative will also be fully protected in relying upon any written notice, demand, certificate or document that it in good faith believes to be genuine (including facsimiles thereof). In no
event shall Purchaser or the Company or any of their Affiliates, have any liability to any Seller for any action taken or omission to act by such Sellers respective Seller Representative.

---

(c) Each Seller agrees, severally but not jointly with other Sellers, to indemnify (on a
pro rata basis based upon such Sellers Proportional Share divided by the cumulative Proportional Shares of all other Sellers who are represented by the same Seller Representative) his respective Seller Representative for, and to hold such
Seller Representative harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without willful breach, gross negligence or bad faith on the part of such Seller Representative, arising out of or in connection with such Seller Representatives
carrying out its duties under this Agreement, including costs and expenses of successfully defending such Seller Representative against any claim of liability with respect thereto. A Seller Representative may consult with counsel of its own choice
and will have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken and suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel. No Seller Representative shall be entitled to any fees, commissions or other
compensation for acting as the Seller Representative.

(d) If the Original Seller Representative resigns in writing as a
Seller Representative or otherwise becomes unable to serve as a Seller Representative, a majority of Sellers who are represented by such Original Seller Representative may designate as a successor Seller Representative any other Person with prior
written notice to Purchaser (the Successor Seller Representative). If for any reason no Successor Seller Representative has been appointed within thirty (30) days of such resignation or inability to serve by the Original
Seller Representative, then either the relevant Seller(s) or Purchaser shall have the right to petition a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a Successor Seller Representative. Upon written acceptance by such Successor Seller
Representative to serve as Seller Representative, such Successor Seller Representative shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all of the powers and duties and obligations of the Original Seller Representative without further act.
Notwithstanding any replacement of the Original Seller Representative hereunder, the provisions of this Section 10.17 shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Original Seller Representative with respect to all actions taken or omitted to
be taken by it while acting as Seller Representative.

(e) Purchaser shall have the right to rely upon all actions taken or
omitted to be taken by a Seller Representative pursuant to this Agreement, all of which actions and omissions shall be legally binding upon Seller(s) represented by such Seller Representative. No Party hereunder shall have any cause of action
against Purchaser to the extent Purchaser has relied upon decisions and actions of a Seller Representative.

(f) The grant of
authority to a Seller Representative provided for in this Section 10.17, (i) is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Seller(s) represented by such Seller
Representative, and (ii) shall survive the Closing.



87



---

(g) All of the indemnities, immunities and powers granted to a Seller Representative under
this Agreement shall survive the Closing and/or termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.18 Waiver and Termination
of Certain Existing Rights and Agreements. Except as set forth in Section 6.19(b) (to the extent such exception would not prevent or impede the Transaction contemplated herein), each Seller waives any right he or it may have under the
Existing M&A, the Settlement Agreement dated July 22, 2008 by and among the Company, GSSIII, Merrylin and certain other parties thereto and the Shareholders Agreement dated as of July 22, 2008 (the Existing Shareholders
Agreement) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Seller agrees that simultaneous with the Closing the Existing Shareholders Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.
