21

 

8.2          Indemnification. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 8.2, each Warrantor hereby agrees to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Investor, and each Investor’s affiliates, directors, officers, agents and assigns, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, obligations, costs and expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties (including, without limitation, arbitral tribunal fees, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) actually suffered or incurred by such Investor, or such Investor’s affiliates, directors, officers, agents and assigns (each, an “Indemnified Person”), directly or indirectly, as a result of, or based upon or arising from:

 

(a)           any inaccuracy in, or breach or non-performance of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by any Warrantor in or pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements;

 

(b)           any action or claim initiated against any Warrantor pursuant to (i) the convertible notes in the principal amount of US$500,000 with an interest rate of 5% per annum issued by the Company to Yifang Technology Group, Ltd. (“Yifang”) on September 3, 2013, (ii) the Series A Preferred Shares Purchase Agreement dated October 30, 2011 by and among Haipu Holding Inc., the Founders and Yifang, and any other documents entered into pursuant thereto; or (iii) the Series A Preferred Share Purchase Agreement (the “Series A Purchase Agreement”) dated January 29, 2014 by and among the Group Companies, the Founders, the Founder HoldCos, Shunwei TMT II Limited and Red Better Limited.

The rights contained in this Section 8.2 shall not be deemed to preclude or otherwise limit in any way the exercise of any other rights or pursuit of other remedies for the breach of this Agreement or with respect to any misrepresentation. This Section 8.2 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the maximum amount of Losses for which the Warrantors may be liable to each Investor and the relevant Indemnified Persons shall not exceed the aggregate amount of Subscription Price paid by such Investor.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, each Warrantor hereby agrees and covenants that (i) it will not challenge or raise a defense to any claim against such Warrantor or the exercise of any right or remedy against such Warrantor (whether under this Section 8.2 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement) on the grounds that such claim, right or remedy is not enforceable or permitted by applicable law, and (ii) it will do all such things and undertake all such actions, including without limitation any applications to and registrations with the Governmental Authorities and any other protective measures reasonably requested by each Investor, to ensure that the agreement of the parties with respect to joint and several liability of the Warrantors under the Transaction Agreements is given full force and effect.

 

22

 

8.3          Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed exclusively in accordance the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China (“Hong Kong”) without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong to the rights and duties of the parties hereunder.

 

8.4          Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein by the Warrantors shall survive any due diligence investigation made by any Investor hereto and the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereby, provided that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.6 to 4.29 shall survive the Closing for a period of two (2) years.

 

8.5          Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto whose rights or obligations hereunder are affected by such amendments. This Agreement and the rights and obligations therein may not be assigned by the Warrantors without the written consent of each Investor.

 

8.6          Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, and the schedules and exhibits hereto and thereto, which are hereby expressly incorporated herein by this reference constitute the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement or related agreements shall be deemed to terminate or supersede the provisions of any confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements executed by the parties hereto prior to the date hereof, which agreements shall continue in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with their respective terms.

 

8.7          Notices. Except as may be otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, waivers and other communications made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be conclusively deemed to have been duly given (a) when hand delivered to the other party, upon delivery; (b) when sent by facsimile at the number set forth in Exhibit I hereto, upon receipt of confirmation of error-free transmission; (c) seven (7) business days after deposit in the mail as air mail or certified mail, receipt requested, postage prepaid and addressed to the other party as set forth in Exhibit I; or (d) three (3) business days after deposit with an overnight delivery service, postage prepaid, addressed to the parties as set forth in Exhibit I with next business-day delivery guaranteed, provided that the sending party receives a confirmation of delivery from the delivery service provider.

8.8          Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended only with the written consent of all parties hereto.

 

8.9          Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party hereto, upon any breach or default of any other party hereto under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such former party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach of default thereafter occurring.

 

23

 

8.10        Interpretation; Titles and Subtitles. This Agreement shall be construed according to its fair language. The rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in interpreting this Agreement. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all references to Sections and Exhibits herein are to Sections and Exhibits of this Agreement.

 

8.11        Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

 

8.12        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 best 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.

 

8.13        Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure.

 

(a)           Disclosure of Terms. The terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents and all exhibits and schedules attached hereto and thereto (collectively, the “Financing Terms”), including their existence, shall be considered confidential information and shall not be disclosed by any party hereto to any third party except in accordance with the provisions set forth below; provided that such confidential information shall not include any information that is in the public domain other than caused by the breach of the confidentiality obligations hereunder.

 

(b)           Press Releases; Use of Investor’s Name. Any press release issued by the Group Companies and/or their Affiliates shall not disclose any of the Financing Terms and the final form of such press release shall be approved in advance in writing by each Investor. No other announcement regarding any of the Financing Terms in a press release, conference, advertisement, announcement, professional or trade publication, mass marketing materials or otherwise to the general public may be made without the prior written consent of each Investor. The Group Companies and/or their Affiliates shall not use the name of any Investor or any of its affiliates in any manner, context or format (including but not limited to reference on or links to web site, press release, etc.), unless such publicity is within the authorized scope of use that have been approved by such Investor.

 

(c)           Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party may disclose any of the Financing Terms to its current or bona fide prospective investor, employees, investment bankers, lenders, partners, accountants and attorneys, in each case only where such persons or entities are under appropriate nondisclosure obligations.

 

24

 

(d)           Legally Compelled Disclosure. In the event that any party is requested or becomes legally compelled (including without limitation, pursuant to securities laws and regulations) to disclose the existence of any Transaction Document or any of the exhibits and schedules attached hereto or thereto, or any of the Financing Terms hereof in contravention of the provisions of this Section 8.13, such party (the “Disclosing Party”) shall provide the other parties (the “Non-Disclosing Parties”) with prompt written notice of that fact and use all reasonable efforts to seek (with the cooperation and reasonable efforts of the other parties) a protective order, confidential treatment or other appropriate remedy. In such event, the Disclosing Party shall furnish only that portion of the information which is legally required to be disclosed and shall exercise reasonable efforts to keep confidential such information to the extent reasonably requested by any Non-Disclosing Party.

 

(e)           Other Information. The provisions of this Section 8.13 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, the provisions of any separate nondisclosure agreement executed by any of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

8.14        Further Assurances. Each party shall from time to time and at all times hereafter make, do, execute, or cause or procure to be made, done and executed such further acts, deeds, conveyances, consents and assurances without further consideration, which may reasonably be required to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

8.15        Dispute Resolution. All disputes and controversies arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved by arbitration in Hong Kong under the Hong Kong International Arbitration Center Administered Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) in force when the Notice of Arbitration (as defined by the Rules) is submitted in accordance with the Rules.

 

8.16        Expenses. Each party shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses in connection with the negotiation, execution, and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (collectively, “Transaction Expenses”), provided that at the Closing, the Company shall reimburse all Transaction Expenses incurred by Phoenix for an amount up to US$40,000.

 

8.17        Termination. This Agreement may be terminated on or after December 31, 2014

 

(a)           by the Company, as between the Company and any of the Investors, or

 

(b)           by any Investor, as between such Investor and the Company,

 

by written notice to each of the other parties, if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to such date. Such termination shall (i) be without prejudice to any claims for damages or other remedies that the parties may have under this Agreement or applicable law, and (ii) not affect the rights and obligations contained in this Agreement between the parties with respect to whom this Agreement has not been terminated.
