			Section 3.1     Representation and Warranties of the Company.  The Company represents and warrants to the Purchaser as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that, except as set forth in the Public Documents filed prior to the date hereof (without giving effect to any amendment thereto filed on or after the date of this Agreement and excluding disclosures of non-specific risks faced by the Company included in any forward-looking statement, disclaimer, risk factor disclosure or other similarly non-specific statements that are predictive and general in nature):
		

		
			(a)       Organization and Qualification.  The Company is an exempted company with limited liability duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the Cayman Islands, and each Subsidiary of the Company is duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing) under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization.  Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as currently being conducted, and is duly qualified or licensed to do business in all material respects in each jurisdiction in which the property owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification or licensing necessary.
		

		
			(b)       Authorization; Enforcement; Validity.  The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents and to perform its obligations thereunder.  The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, including the issuance of the Notes and the Conversion Securities, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company.  Each Transaction Document has been or will be duly executed and delivered by the Company (or, in the case of the Restrictions on Sale Agreement, the Key Persons), and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Purchaser or the PAG Director (as applicable), constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception.
		

		
			(c)       Valid Issuance.
		

		
			(i)         The Notes have been duly authorized for issuance and sale to the Purchaser and, when issued and delivered by the Company against payment therefor by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, the Notes will be validly issued and constitute legally binding and valid obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception.

			(i)         As of September 10, 2019, the authorized share capital of the Company consists of 5,000,000,000 shares with par value of US$0.0001 each, which is divided into 1,889,352,801 Class A Ordinary Shares, 110,647,199 Class B Ordinary Shares and 3,000,000,000 shares of such class or classes (however designated) as the Board may determine in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles, of which 253,289,542 Class A Ordinary Shares and 104,147,199 Class B Ordinary Shares are issued and outstanding.

			other securities of the Significant Subsidiaries are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and all such shares or other securities are owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Company free and clear of any Encumbrance.
		

		
			(e)       No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, including the issuance of the Notes and the Conversion Securities, will not (i) result in a violation of the Memorandum and Articles, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any Contract to which the Company is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any Law applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset thereof is bound, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
		

		
			(f)       Consents.  Subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser in Section 3.2, the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, including the issuance of the Notes and the Conversion Securities, do not and will not require any consent, approval, authorization or other order of, action by, filing with, or notification to, any Governmental Entity or any other Person, except for filings that may be required to be made with the SEC (e.g., a Form 6-K).
		

		
			(g)       Offering.  Subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser in Section 3.2, the offer, sale and issuance of the Notes are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Company nor any Person acting on its behalf has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the Notes, and no “directed selling efforts” as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S under the Securities Act have been made in the United States by the Company or any person acting on its behalf in connection with the Notes.
		

		
			(h)       Listing.  The Ordinary Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and the ADSs are listed on the Nasdaq, and the Company has taken no action to terminate the registration of the Ordinary Shares under the Exchange Act or delist the ADSs from the Nasdaq, nor has the Company received any notification that the SEC or the Nasdaq is currently contemplating terminating such registration or listing.  The Company is not in violation of any listing requirements of the Nasdaq and has no knowledge of any facts that would reasonably be expected to lead to delisting or suspension of the ADSs from the Nasdaq in the foreseeable future.
		

		
			(i)        Public Documents.  The Company has timely filed or furnished all Public Documents.  As of their respective filing or furnishing dates, the Public Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act as applicable to the respective Public Documents, and, other than as corrected, clarified or otherwise modified in a subsequent Public Document, none of the Public Documents, at the time they were filed or furnished, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			11

		








		

			 

		





		

		
			misleading.  As of the date of this Agreement, there are no outstanding or unresolved comment letters received from the SEC or its staff.
		

		
			(j)       Financial Statements.  As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company (including any related notes thereto) included in the Public Documents (the “Financial Statements”) (i) complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, (ii) fairly presented the consolidated financial position of the Company as of the dates indicated therein and the consolidated results of operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for the periods specified therein, except as corrected or clarified in a subsequent Public Document, and (iii) were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis (except, in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed to summary statements), except as disclosed therein and as permitted under the Exchange Act.
		

		
			(k)       No Undisclosed Liabilities.  The Company and its Subsidiaries do not have any liabilities or obligations other than those (i) reflected on, reserved against, or disclosed in the Financial Statements or in the notes thereto, (ii) incurred in the ordinary course of business, (iii) that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) arising under the Transaction Documents.  There are no unconsolidated Subsidiaries of the Company or any off-balance sheet arrangements of any type that have not been so described in the Public Documents or the Financial Statements nor any obligations to enter into any such arrangements.
		

		
			(l)        Internal Controls and Procedures.  The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures as such terms are defined in, and required by, Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act.  Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the management of the Company as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  The Company maintains a system of internal controls over financial reporting sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations and (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP.  The Company’s management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018 in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and concluded that such controls were effective as of December 31, 2018.  The Company’s independent registered accountant concluded in its opinion on financial statements that the Company maintained in all material respects effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018.  Since December 31, 2018, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially adversely affected, or is reasonably likely to materially adversely affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
		

		
			(m)     Absence of Changes.  Since December 31, 2018, the Company and its Subsidiaries have conducted their respective businesses in all material respects in the ordinary course of business, and there has not been any event, circumstance, development or 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			12

		








		

			 

		





		

		
			change that, individually or in the aggregate, has or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
		

		
			(n)       Litigation.  None of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective directors or officers, is a party to any, and there are no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened, legal, administrative, arbitral or other claims, suits, actions or proceedings or governmental or regulatory investigations of any nature (“Proceedings”) against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective assets, except for any Proceedings which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  There are no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened Proceedings that seek to restrain or enjoin the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  There is no judgment, order, injunction or decree (“Judgment”) outstanding against Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any of their equity interests, material properties or assets, or any of their directors and officers (in their capacity as directors and officers), except for any Judgment which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
		

		
			(o)       Compliance with Applicable Laws; Permits.  The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have conducted their businesses in compliance with all applicable PRC, U.S. and other national, federal, provincial, state and other Laws except for noncompliance, if any, which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have all permits, licenses, authorizations, consents, orders and approvals (collectively, “Permits”) of, and have made all filings, applications and registrations with, any Governmental Entity that are required in order to carry on their business as currently conducted, except where the failure to have such Permits or to make such filings, applications or registrations would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and all such Permits are in full force and effect and, to the knowledge of the Company, no suspension or cancellation of any of them is threatened, and all such filings, applications and registrations are current, except where such absence, suspension or cancellation would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
		

		
			(p)       Anticorruption and Sanctions.
		

		
			(i)         No Company Representative has in the past five years violated any Anticorruption Laws, nor has the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Company Representative offered, paid, promised to pay, or authorized the payment of any money, or offered, given, promised to give, or authorized the giving of anything of value, to any Government Official or to any Person under circumstances where such Company Representative knew or ought reasonably to have known (after due and proper inquiry) that all or a portion of such money or thing of value would be offered, given, or promised, directly or indirectly, to a Person: (i) for the purpose of influencing any act or decision of a Government Official in their official capacity, inducing a Government Official to do or omit to do any act in violation of their lawful duties, or securing any improper advantage; or (ii) in a manner which would constitute or have the 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			13

		








		

			 

		





		

		
			purpose or effect of public or commercial bribery, acceptance of, or acquiescence in extortion, kickbacks, or other unlawful or improper means of obtaining business or any improper advantage.
		

		
			(ii)       No Company Representative has conducted or initiated any internal investigation or made a voluntary, directed, or involuntary disclosure to any Governmental Entity or similar agency with respect to any alleged act or omission arising under or relating to any noncompliance with any Anticorruption Law.  No Company Representative has received any notice, request, or citation for any actual or potential noncompliance with any of the foregoing in this Section 3.1(q).
		

		
			(iii)      The Company and each Subsidiary of the Company have maintained complete and accurate books and records, including records of payments to any agents, consultants, representatives, third parties, related parties, and Government Officials in accordance with GAAP.
		

		
			(iv)       The operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the U.S. Currency and Foreign Transaction Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the U.S. Money Laundering Control Act of 1986, as amended, and all money laundering-related laws of other jurisdictions where the Company and its Subsidiaries conduct business or own assets, and any related or similar Law issued, administered or enforced by any Governmental Entity (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”).  No proceeding by or before any Governmental Entity involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, is threatened.
		

		
			(v)        At no time during the past five years has the Company or any of its Subsidiaries violated applicable Sanctions Law and Regulations or knowingly engaged in any dealings or transactions with any Person, or in any country or territory, that is a Sanctions Target, nor is the Company or any of its Subsidiaries currently engaged in any such activities.
		

		
			(q)       Intellectual Property.  The Company and its Subsidiaries own, or possess the right to use, all of the Intellectual Property, licenses, permits and other authorizations that are reasonably necessary for the operation of their respective businesses.  All material registered Intellectual Property and applications for registration of material Intellectual Property anywhere in the world that are owned or filed by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company (collectively, “Registered Intellectual Property”) are owned by the Company or its Subsidiaries, free and clear of any Encumbrance.  All Registered Intellectual Property is subsisting, valid and enforceable, currently in compliance with any and all legal requirements necessary to maintain the validity and enforceability thereof and not subject to any outstanding Judgment materially and adversely affecting the Company use thereof or rights thereto or that would 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			14

		








		

			 

		





		

		
			materially impair the validity or enforceability thereof.  The conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as currently conducted does not infringe or otherwise violate any proprietary right or Intellectual Property of any third party, except for such infringements and violations which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  There are no infringements or other violations of any Intellectual Property owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any third party, except for such infringements and violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
		

		
			(r)       Variable Interest Entities.  Each of the entities set forth in Schedule I hereto is a Variable Interest Entity.  The Company Controls the Variable Interest Entities through a series of contractual arrangements, and there is no enforceable agreement or understanding to rescind, amend or change the nature of such captive structure or any material terms of such contractual arrangements.
		

		
			(s)       Transactions With Directors and Officers.  None of the directors and executive officers of the Company named in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 (or in any subsequent Public Documents filed or furnished by the Company with the SEC on or prior to the Closing Date) is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer or director or any entity in which any officer or director has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner, other than (i) for payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and (iii) for other employee benefits.

			(u)       Investment Company.  The Company is not, and immediately after receipt of the proceeds from issuance of the Notes will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
		

		
			(v)       Brokers and Finders.  Neither the Company nor any Person authorized by the Company to act on its behalf is a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any Person that would give rise to any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Purchaser for any brokerage commission, finder’s fee or other similar compensation, as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
		

		
			(w)      No Additional Representations.  The Company makes no representations or warranties as to any matter whatsoever except as expressly set forth in the

The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational or constitutional documents of the Purchaser, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any Contract to which the Purchaser is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any Law applicable to the Purchaser, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

			ARTICLE IV
		

		
			COVENANTS
		

		
			Section 4.1     Reservation of Shares.  At any time when any portion of the Notes is outstanding, the Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized but unissued shares, sufficient Class A Ordinary Shares to enable the Company to comply with its obligations to issue the Conversion Securities upon the conversion of the Notes in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes.
		

		
			Section 4.2     Board Representation.  The Company shall take all necessary or desirable actions as may be required under applicable Law and the Memorandum and Articles to (a) cause an individual designated by the Purchaser in consultation with the Company to be appointed as the initial PAG Director at the Closing, and (b) for so long as the Purchaser (collectively with its Affiliates) beneficially owns Notes and/or Conversion Securities that represent no less than 50% of the Notes and/or Conversion Securities owned by the Purchaser immediately after the Closing (in each case on an as-converted basis and as appropriately adjusted to reflect any share split, share dividend, consolidation, reclassification, recapitalization or similar event affecting the Conversion Securities), cause the same individual or another individual designated by the Purchaser in consultation with the Company to be re-elected or appointed as the PAG Director from time to time after the Closing.  In the event that the Purchaser (collectively with its Affiliates) ceases to meet the beneficial ownership threshold set forth in the preceding sentence, the Purchaser shall cause the PAG Director to promptly resign from the Board upon the Company’s written request.
		

		
			Section 4.3     Compliance and Other Actions Prior to Closing.  Except as contemplated under the Transaction Documents, from the date hereof until the Closing Date, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to (a) conduct its business and affairs in the ordinary course of business, and (b) not take any action, or omit to take any action, that would reasonably be expected to make (i) any of its representations and warranties in the Transaction Documents untrue as of the Closing Date, or (ii) any of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 not to be satisfied on the Closing Date.
		

		
			Section 4.4     Information Rights.  For so long as the Purchaser (collectively with its Affiliates) beneficially owns Notes and/or Conversion Securities that represent no less than 50% of the Notes and/or Conversion Securities owned by the Purchaser immediately after the Closing (in each case on an as-converted basis and as appropriately adjusted to reflect any share split, share dividend, consolidation, reclassification, recapitalization or similar event affecting the Conversion Securities), the Company shall permit, and shall cause each of its Significant Subsidiaries to permit, the Purchaser or its representatives, during normal business hours following reasonable notice by the Purchaser to the Company and to the extent not materially interfering with the business of the Company or that Significant Subsidiary, to (i) visit and inspect any of the properties of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, (ii) examine the books of account and records of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, and (iii) discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries with the directors, officers, and management employees of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries.

			of the Company.  In all such insurance policies, the PAG Director shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide such PAG Director the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s directors.

			(b)        by either party hereto if any Law or final, non-appealable injunction or order shall have been enacted or issued which has the effect of prohibiting the transactions contemplated hereunder; provided,  however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.1(b) shall not be available to a party if the issuance of such Law, injunction or order was initiated by, or primarily due to a breach by, such party of this Agreement;

			that would give rise to failure of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 to be satisfied, which breach is not cured within 20 Business Days following the Purchaser’s delivery of a written notice thereof to the Company;
		

		
			(e)        by the Company if there is a material breach by the Purchaser of any of its representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or agreement hereunder that would give rise to failure of the conditions set forth in Section 5.3 to be satisfied, which breach is not cured within 20 Business Days following the Company’s delivery of a written notice thereof to the Purchaser;
		

		
			(f)        by the Company if (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 have been satisfied or, in the case of any condition set forth in Section 5.2, waived by the Purchaser (other than delivery of items to be delivered at the Closing and other than satisfaction of those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing), (ii) the Company has notified the Purchaser in writing that all conditions set forth in Section 5.3 have been satisfied or that the Company is willing to irrevocably waive any unsatisfied conditions in Section 5.3, and the Company is ready, willing and able to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (it being agreed that such notice shall not be given earlier than the Closing Date), and (iii) the Purchaser fails to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within three (3) Business Days following the Company’s delivery of such notice (and such failure is not primarily caused by the Company); or
		

		
			(g)        by the Purchaser if (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 and Section 5.3 have been satisfied or, in the case of any condition set forth in Section 5.3, waived by the Company (other than delivery of items to be delivered at the Closing and other than satisfaction of those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing), (ii) the Purchaser has notified the Company in writing that all conditions set forth in Section 5.2 have been satisfied or that the Purchaser is willing to irrevocably waive any unsatisfied conditions in Section 5.2, and the Purchaser is ready, willing and able to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (it being agreed that such notice shall not be given earlier than the Closing Date), and (iii) the Company fails to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within three (3) Business Days following the Purchaser’s delivery of such notice (and such failure is not primarily caused by the Purchaser).
		

		
			Section 6.2     Effect of Termination.  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 6.1, it shall become null and void and of no further force and effect, except that the provisions of this Section 6.2,  Section 6.3 and Article VII shall remain in full force and effect; provided that nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from liability for any breach of this Agreement that occurred prior to such termination.
		

		
			Section 6.3     Purchaser Termination Fee; Company Termination Fee.
		

		
			(a)        In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 6.1(f), the parties hereto agree that the Company shall have suffered a loss of value of an incalculable nature and amount, unrecoverable in Law, and the Purchaser shall pay to the Company a fee of US$60,000,000 (the “Purchaser Termination Fee”), it being understood that in no event shall the Purchaser be required to pay the Purchaser Termination Fee on more than one occasion.  The Purchaser Termination Fee shall be 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			21

		








		

			 

		





		

		
			payable in immediately available funds by wire transfer no later than five (5) Business Days after such termination.
		

		
			(b)        In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 6.1(g), the parties hereto agree that the Purchaser shall have suffered a loss of value of an incalculable nature and amount, unrecoverable in Law, and the Company shall pay to the Purchaser a fee of US$60,000,000 (the “Company Termination Fee”), it being understood that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion.  The Company Termination Fee shall be payable in immediately available funds by wire transfer no later than five (5) Business Days after such termination.
		

		
			(c)        The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 6.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the damages resulting from termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Purchaser Termination Fee or the Company Termination Fee is payable are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation and therefore, the Purchaser Termination Fee or the Company Termination Fee, as applicable, is not a penalty but rather constitutes liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company or the Purchaser, as applicable, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) without these agreements, the parties hereto would not enter into this Agreement.  Accordingly, if the Purchaser or the Company fails to timely pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 6.3, and, in order to obtain such payment, the Company or the Purchaser, as applicable, commences a suit, action or other proceeding that results in a judgment in its favor, the Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, shall pay to the Company or the Purchaser, as applicable, its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, action or other proceeding, together with interest on the amount of such payment from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the prime interest rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the date such interest begins accruing.

			Section 7.1     Survival.

All of the covenants, obligations and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until fully performed in accordance with their terms.
		

		
			Section 7.2     Indemnification.
		

		
			(a)        From and after the Closing, each party (the “Indemnitor”) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”),

			incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of or arising out of the breach by the Indemnitor of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement contained in the Transaction Documents.
		

		
			(b)        No Indemnitor shall be liable for any Indemnified Liabilities in respect of punitive damages.  No Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Indemnitor more than once in respect of the same Indemnified Liabilities suffered.
		

		
			(c)        No Indemnitor shall be entitled to recover any Indemnified Liabilities, other than with respect to breaches of Fundamental Representations, until such time as the aggregate amount of all such Indemnified Liabilities that have been suffered or incurred by any one or more Indemnitees exceeds US$3,000,000 (the “Loss Threshold”), provided,  however, that (i) once the aggregate amount of all such Indemnified Liabilities exceeds the Loss Threshold, the Indemnitor shall be liable for all such Indemnified Liabilities (including the Loss Threshold), and (ii) only for the purpose of determining the amount of Indemnified Liabilities under this Section 7.2(c) (and not for determining whether any misrepresentation or breach of representations or warranties have occurred), the representations and warranties herein shall be deemed to have been made without being qualified by “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualifiers, except that this item (ii) shall not apply to the extent that (x) any such representation or warranty relates to whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred, or (y) any such qualifier is used to limit or restrict an exception from any such representation or warranty.
		

		
			(d)        The maximum aggregate amount of Indemnified Liabilities that the Indemnitees will be entitled to recover, other than with respect to breaches of any Fundamental Representations, shall be limited to US$150,000,000.  The maximum aggregate amount of Indemnified Liabilities that the Indemnitees will be entitled to recover for breaches of Fundamental Representations (inclusive and not in duplication of the amounts referred to in the preceding sentence) shall be limited to US$300,000,000.
		

		
			(e)        The amount of any Indemnified Liabilities for which indemnification is provided under this Section 7.2 shall be reduced by (i) any amounts that have been actually and irrevocably recovered by any Indemnitee from any third party, and (ii) any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or source of reimbursement that have been actually and irrevocably received by any Indemnitee, in each case with respect to such Indemnified Liabilities and net of any costs of recovery.  If any amount to be reduced under this Section 7.2(e) from any payment required under this Section 7.2 is determined after the date on which the Indemnitor has paid such indemnification claim, the Indemnitee shall reasonably promptly reimburse the Indemnitor any amount that the Indemnitor would not have had to pay had such determination been made at the time of such indemnification payment by the Indemnitor.
		

		
			(f)        Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein and except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct, the remedies contained in this Section 7.2 shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Indemnitees for any claim arising out of or resulting from this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; provided that the foregoing shall not limit a party’s right to seek specific performance or other equitable remedies in any court of competent jurisdiction.
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			23

		








		

			 

		





		

		
			(g)        Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, no limitation or exceptions with respect to the obligations or liabilities on either party provided hereunder shall apply to Indemnified Liabilities incurred by any Indemnitee arising due to the fraud or willful misconduct of an Indemnitor.
		

		
			Section 7.3     Costs and Expenses.  Each party shall bear and pay its own costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby.
		

		
			Section 7.4     Confidentiality.  Except as required by applicable Law, the existence, status and provisions of the Transaction Documents, the status and content of any discussion between the Company and the Purchaser, and any information exchanged between the parties and their respective Affiliates and representatives in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, will be kept confidential by the parties and will not be disclosed by any of them to any third party without the prior written consent of the other party, unless such information is or becomes known to the recipient from a source other than the parties, or is or becomes publicly known; provided that any party may disclose such information to (a) its Affiliates, partners, financing providers and any officer, director, employee, adviser, accountant or representative of such party or its Affiliates, partners or financing providers, on a need-to-know and confidential basis, and (b) to any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over such party or its Affiliates.
		

		
			Section 7.5     Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.
		

		
			(a)        This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws thereunder.
		

		
			(b)        Any dispute, controversy, difference or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including its existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination hereof or any dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to it, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the notice of arbitration is submitted.  The law of this arbitration clause shall be Hong Kong law.  The seat of arbitration shall be Hong Kong.

			Section 7.7     Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
		

		
			(a)        Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party; provided,  however,  that the Purchaser may assign any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates without the consent of the Company.

			intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever.
		

		
			Section 7.8     Specific Performance.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable harm would occur for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy if any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached.  It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity, each party hereto shall be entitled to injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement without posting any bond or other undertaking.
		

		
			Section 7.9     Amendment; Waiver.
		

		
			(a)        This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument duly executed by all the parties hereto.
		

		
			(b)        The observance of any provision in this Agreement may be waived only by the written consent of the party against whom such waiver is to be effective.  No failure or delay on the part of any party to exercise any right hereunder shall operate as waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any party of any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
		

		
			Section 7.10   Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, together with all the schedules and exhibits hereto and thereto and the certificates and other written instruments delivered in connection therewith from time to time on and following the date hereof, constitute and contain the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matters hereof and thereof and supersedes any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, agreements, understandings, duties or obligations between the parties with respect to such subject matters.
		

		
			Section 7.11   Severability.   If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall be construed, to the extent feasible, so as to render the provision enforceable and to provide for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby on substantially the same terms as originally set forth herein, and if no feasible interpretation would save such provision, it shall be severed from the remainder of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect unless the severed provision is essential to the rights or benefits intended by the parties.  In such event, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate, in good faith, a substitute, valid and enforceable provision or agreement, which most nearly effects the parties’ intent in entering into this Agreement.
		

		
			Section 7.12   Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same document.
