Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the aggregate liabilities of the Warrantors pursuant to this Section 8.1 for any Investor under the Transaction Documents shall not exceed the Purchase Price paid for the Purchased Shares being purchased by such Investor hereunder, provided further that the aggregate liabilities of each Founder and his applicable Founder HoldCo pursuant to this Section 8.1 for any Investor under the Transaction Documents shall not exceed an amount equal to the lower of (i) (X) with respect to Banyan, the Purchase Price paid for the Purchased Shares being purchased by such Investor hereunder; and (Y) with respect to Zhen Fund and Hony Capital, the Purchase Price for the Purchased Shares being purchased by such Investor hereunder plus the respective total investment amount paid by such Investor to the Group Companies as a whole prior to the execution of this Agreement; and (ii) the value of the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such Founder in the Company, determined by the proceeds received by such Founder from disposal of such Ordinary Shares through arm’s length transaction in good faith. Any Founder may elect to compensate an Investor for any Indemnifiable Loss suffered by such Investor by transferring the Ordinary Shares in whole or in part held by the relevant Founder HoldCo to such Investor at no cost, provided that, the value for such number of Ordinary Shares to be transferred shall equal the Indemnifiable Loss with such value to be determined by the Company’s auditor in good faith (including affirmative votes of the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the then issued outstanding Ordinary Shares (on as-converted basis) held by all holders of the Preferred Shares).

8.2    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed exclusively in accordance the laws of 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.

8.10    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 closely effects the parties’ intent in entering into this Agreement.

8.11    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. Any press release issued by any Group Company or their affiliates shall not disclose any of the Financing Terms and the substance and form of such press release shall be approved in advance by the Investors.

(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.

(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 8.11 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 8.11 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.

 

14


8.12    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.

8.13    Dispute Resolution. Any dispute, controversy or, claim or difference of any kind whatsoever arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement, including the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination thereof, the validity, scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision and any dispute regarding no-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 (the “HKIAC”) in accordance with the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force at the time of the commencement of the arbitration.

8.14    Expenses. The Company shall bear all legal, accounting and other out of pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by Banyan in connection with the conduct of their industry, legal and financial due diligence and its negotiation, preparation, execution and completion of this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents hereunder and thereunder, which shall not exceed RMB300,000 (i) at the Closing, or (ii) in the event that the Closing has failed to occur due to fault of any Warrantor, within three (3) business days upon the demand of Banyan.

8.15    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the Company or an Investor by written notice to the other parties of this Agreement, if the Closing has not occurred within six (6) months after the date of this Agreement, provided the terminating party does not materially breach this Agreement. Such termination under this Section 8.15 shall be without prejudice to any claims for damages or other remedies that the parties may have under this Agreement or applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, termination of this Agreement by an Investor shall solely apply to the rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Investor and shall no event affect the rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to other Investors.

8.16    Several but Not Joint Obligations. Each Investor’s obligations under this Agreement are several and not joint.

8.17    Most Favored Investors. In the event the Company has granted or will grant, in the prior or the next financing of the Company, any other investors or shareholders any rights, privileges or protections more favorable than those granted to the Investors, the Investors, with respect to the Series B Preferred Shares held by them, shall be entitled to the same rights, privileges or protections pari passu with the other investors or shareholders, and the Company shall take, and the Warrantors shall cause the Company to take, all necessary actions in order to effect the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.17.

8.19    Effect. This Agreement shall take effect upon execution by the Parties.
