notwithstanding the execution of this Agreement.

suffered by the Transferee and/or other parties to the Initial Agreements.

parties to the Initial Agreements, or create any requests, claims, litigation, administrative punishment or any other legal proceedings against The9 Computer or the other parties to the Initial Agreements; otherwise The9 Computer or any other
parties of the Initial Agreements shall have the right to request either the Transferor and/or Transferee to be responsible for the relevant liabilities. The Transferor and/or Transferee shall fully indemnify The9 Computer or any other parties of
