Section 2.        Loan of ADSs; Transfer of Loaned ADSs.

(a)            Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Lender’s ability to make accurate representations as to the matters set forth in Section 7), and subject to the closing of the issuance of the Convertible Notes pursuant to the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, Lender hereby agrees to loan to Borrower, and Borrower agrees to borrow, 6,233,785 ADSs on the First Time of Delivery, as specified by Borrower in a written notice to Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (a “Borrowing Notice”) (such issuance and loan, the “Loan”). Such Loan shall be confirmed by a schedule and receipt listing the Loaned ADSs provided by Lender to Borrower (the “Confirmation”). Such Confirmation shall constitute conclusive evidence with respect to the Loan, including the number of ADSs that are the subject of the Loan, unless a written objection to the Confirmation specifying the reasons for the objection is received by Lender within five (5) Business Days after the delivery of the Confirmation to Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, the receipt by Lender of any such written objection shall not delay Lender’s obligation to deliver ADSs to Borrower in connection with the Loan. To effect the Loan, Lender agrees to issue a number of Ordinary Shares (credited as fully paid) underlying the number of ADSs for the Loan registered in the name of the Depositary (or its nominee) and deposit share certificates evidencing such Ordinary Shares with, and deliver an original certified copy of Lender’s register of members to, the custodian of the Depositary on or prior to the First Time of Delivery, and cause the Depositary to deliver the relevant ADSs to Borrower’s account maintained with the Clearing Organization by no later than the Cutoff Time on the First Time of Delivery. For the avoidance of doubt, if Borrower redelivers any Loaned ADSs to Lender hereunder, Borrower may not subsequently reborrow such ADSs.

(b)            Borrower agrees to pay Lender a single loan processing fee (the “Loan Processing Fee”) equal to $0.00025 per Loaned ADS (subject to adjustment to reflect any split up, combination or change in the ratio of Ordinary Shares to ADSs pursuant to the Deposit Agreement). The Loan Processing Fee shall be paid by or on behalf of Borrower on or before the time of transfer of the Loaned ADSs. Lender shall apply the Loan Processing Fee to fully pay up the Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs for the Loan. Lender agrees to pay all fees and expenses of the Depositary in connection with the Loan, including without limitation in connection with the issuance of the Loaned ADSs and the withdrawal of any such Ordinary Shares upon the cancellation of the Loaned ADSs.

(c)            Borrower shall not be entitled to receive any Loaned ADSs, and any purported delivery of Loaned ADSs hereunder shall not be effective in conferring “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of this Section 2(c)) on Borrower, and Borrower shall promptly return to Lender all Loaned ADSs comprising any such purported delivery hereunder, in each case, to the extent that (but only to the extent that), immediately upon giving effect to such receipt of such ADSs, (i)(x) Lender is not a Foreign Private Issuer and (y) the “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) of Ordinary Shares by Borrower or any affiliate of Borrower subject to aggregation with Borrower under such Section 13 and rules or any “group” (within the meaning of such Section 13 and rules) of which Borrower is a member (collectively, “Borrower Group”) would be equal to or greater than 8.5% of the Outstanding Shares, and/or (ii) the Share Amount would be equal to or greater than the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies). If any delivery owed to Borrower hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Lender’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Lender shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than two Business Days after, Borrower gives notice to Lender that such delivery would not result in (i) Borrower Group directly or indirectly so beneficially owning in excess of 8.5% of the Outstanding Shares (and at such time Lender is not a Foreign Private Issuer) or (ii) the Share Amount exceeding the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies), as described above.

Section 3.        Redelivery of Loaned ADSs By Borrower; Loan Terminations.

(a)            Borrower may terminate all or any portion of the Loan on any Business Day by giving written notice thereof to Lender and transferring the corresponding number of Loaned ADSs to Lender, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower; provided that such termination shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make such other payments and/or deliveries required to be made by it to Lender hereunder, including any such payments and/or deliveries pursuant to Section 4 hereof. Any such Loan termination shall be effective immediately upon delivery of the applicable Loaned ADSs in accordance with the terms hereof. All such redelivered Loaned ADSs shall be delivered by Borrower free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and shall not be deemed redelivered hereunder so long as any such Lien (other than Permitted Liens) shall exist.

(b)            The Loan, if outstanding on the date this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 13 (the “Facility Termination Date”) or pursuant to Section 9 (the “Default Termination Date”), shall terminate on such date and Borrower shall use its best efforts to deliver any and all outstanding Loaned ADSs to Lender as soon as practicable and in any event such outstanding Loaned ADSs shall be delivered to Lender no later than the twenty-fifth (25^th) Trading Day following the Facility Termination Date or the Default Termination Date, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower; provided that such termination shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make such other payments and/or deliveries required to be made by it to Lender hereunder, including any such payments and/or deliveries pursuant to Section 4 hereof.

(c)            If on any date the aggregate number of Loaned ADSs exceeds the Maximum Number of ADSs (an “Excess ADS Event”), Lender may request in writing that the number of Loaned ADSs in excess of the Maximum Number of ADSs (such excess Loaned ADSs, the “Excess ADSs”) shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, as soon as practicable and in any event no later than the date thirty-five (35) Trading Days following the date on which Borrower receives such written notice, deliver the Excess ADSs to Lender.

8

(d)            For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of return or redelivery of Loaned ADSs or an equivalent number of Ordinary Shares by Borrower pursuant to this Section 3, the term “Loaned ADSs” shall refer to either Loaned ADSs or the equivalent in Ordinary Shares (or other Common Equity of the Lender at such time, including, for the avoidance of doubt, Hong Kong Shares). The obligation of Borrower to deliver Loaned ADSs or Excess ADSs to Lender pursuant to Section 3(a), 3(b) or ‎3(c) shall be deemed satisfied in full upon Borrower’s delivery of the relevant Loaned ADSs or Excess ADSs, as the case may be, to the Depositary (with written instructions to the Depositary to cancel the relevant Loaned ADSs or Excess ADSs, as the case may be, and to deliver to Lender the Ordinary Shares (or other Common Equity of the Lender at such time) underlying the Loaned ADSs or Excess ADSs, as the case may be, being surrendered for cancellation), or upon the transfer by Borrower of such Loaned ADSs or Excess ADSs, as the case may be, to Lender’s Designated Account, or, at Borrower’s election (in the case of any Loaned ADSs or Excess ADSs that are Ordinary Shares (or other Common Equity of the Lender at such time) if any such surrender or transfer is not reasonably practicable for any reason), upon Borrower surrendering such Loaned ADSs or Excess ADSs to Lender (or such other account as notified by Lender to Borrower prior to such transfer).

(e)            For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any and all outstanding Loaned ADSs shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender, net of any fees or expenses of the Depositary and any applicable withholdings or deductions on account of taxes or other governmental charges imposed on such delivery, if any; and (ii) if the ADSs, Ordinary Shares, or other Common Equity of the Lender at such time are listed on more than one securities exchange or, if delisted from the Exchange and listed on a different securities exchange than the Exchange, Borrower may deliver the relevant Loaned ADSs or Excess ADSs, as the case may be, to the applicable account at the relevant clearing organization or securities intermediary, unless Lender has notified Borrower of a different applicable account prior to such transfer; provided that, if the Ordinary Shares are listed on an exchange other than the Exchange, prior to delivering an equivalent number of Ordinary Shares underlying such Loaned ADSs or Excess ADSs, as the case may be, the Calculation Agent shall have determined that it is not commercially reasonable for Borrower to deliver the Loaned ADSs or Excess ADSs, as the case may be.

Section 4.        Distributions.

(a)            If, at any time when there are Loaned ADSs outstanding under this Agreement, Lender makes a cash or other distribution in respect of all of its Ordinary Shares (including, without limitation, any cash exchanged for the outstanding ADSs as the result of any reorganization, merger, split-up, consolidation, other business combination, reclassification, recapitalization or other corporate action), with the result that, through the Depositary, a cash distribution is made to the then holder or holders of such Loaned ADSs pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, Borrower shall pay to Lender (whether or not Borrower is a holder of any or all of the outstanding Loaned ADSs), within twenty-five (25) Trading Days after the payment of such distribution, an amount in cash (in the same currency as received by holders of Loaned ADSs from the Depositary) equal to the product of (A) the amount per Loaned ADS of such distribution (net of any fees or expenses of the Depositary and any applicable withholdings or deductions on account of taxes or other governmental charges imposed on such distribution) and (B) the number of Loaned ADSs on the record date for such distribution, in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent; provided that if Borrower returns any Loaned ADSs to Lender following a record date for such distribution but prior to the payment of such distribution, Borrower shall nonetheless pay to Lender the amount of such distribution (net of any fees or expenses of the Depositary and any applicable withholdings or deductions on account of taxes or other governmental charges imposed on such delivery, if any) within twenty-five (25) Trading Days after the payment of such distribution.

9

(b)            If, at any time when there are Loaned ADSs outstanding under this Agreement, Lender, through the Depositary, makes a distribution in respect of all of its outstanding ADSs in property or securities, including any options, warrants, rights or privileges in respect of securities (other than a distribution of ADSs, but including any distribution of Ordinary Shares or any options, warrants, rights or privileges exercisable for, convertible into or exchangeable for ADSs or Ordinary Shares or other securities of any other entity) to the then holder or holders of such Loaned ADSs (a “Non-Cash Distribution”), Borrower shall (x) in the case of any Non-Cash Distribution consisting exclusively of Ordinary Shares, deliver to Lender (whether or not Borrower is a holder of any or all of the outstanding Loaned ADSs), within twenty-five (25) Trading Days after the delivery date of such Ordinary Shares, Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the product of (A) the amount of Ordinary Shares distributed pursuant to such Non-Cash Distribution and (B) the number of Loaned ADSs outstanding on the record date for such distribution or (y) in the case of any other Non-Cash Distribution, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Lender (whether or not Borrower is a holder of any or all of the outstanding Loaned ADSs) in kind, within twenty-five (25) Trading Days after the delivery date of such Non-Cash Distribution, the property or securities distributed, in an amount equal to the product of (A) the amount per ADS of such Non-Cash Distribution (net of any reasonable fees or expenses of the Depositary and any applicable withholdings or deductions on account of taxes or other government charges imposed on such distribution) and (B) the number of Loaned ADSs outstanding on the record date for such distribution, in each case, as determined by the Calculation Agent; provided that, in the case of a Non-Cash Distribution described in clause (y) above, to the extent such delivery is not commercially reasonable with respect to any Non-Cash Distribution (other than any distribution consisting exclusively of Ordinary Shares), Borrower shall deliver to Lender the cash value of the property that was not so delivered, with such cash value to be determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. Any such Non-Cash Distributions shall be delivered by Borrower free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and shall not be deemed delivered hereunder so long as any such Lien (other than Permitted Liens) shall exist. For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower’s obligation to deliver a Non-Cash Distribution to Lender pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall not apply to any Non-Cash Distribution retained through the facilities of the Depositary and not otherwise distributed directly to holders of ADSs.

10

Section 5.        Rights in Respect of Loaned ADSs.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Borrower, insofar as it is the beneficial owner of the Loaned ADSs, shall have all of the incidents of ownership in respect of such Loaned ADSs, until it delivers such Loaned ADSs to Lender pursuant to the terms hereof, including the right to transfer the Loaned ADSs to others. Borrower agrees that neither it nor any of its affiliates that is the beneficial owner of any Loaned ADSs hereunder (including ADSs reacquired by Borrower or its affiliates for return to Lender hereunder) shall vote such Loaned ADSs on any matter submitted to a vote of Lender’s shareholders; provided that, if by Borrower failing to vote such Loaned ADSs there shall not be a quorum at any meeting of shareholders relating to such a matter, Borrower shall in accordance with customary practice vote its ADSs proportionately to the votes of all other shareholders voting on such matter at such meeting. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to use such Loaned ADSs to directly or indirectly facilitate the sale of the Convertibles Notes and the hedging of the Convertibles Notes by the holders thereof.

Section 6.        Taxes.

(a)            Notwithstanding the foregoing in Section 3(e) and Section 4 and anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, if Borrower or any of its affiliates determines in good faith that any payment or delivery (in cash or in kind) by Borrower or any of its affiliates under this Agreement is subject to withholding tax or reduction under applicable law, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender and such payment may be reduced by such withholding or reduction. Any amount withheld in accordance with the foregoing shall be promptly remitted to the appropriate taxing authority, and such remittance shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a payment made to the party on whose behalf such amounts were withheld. Borrower shall provide reasonable proof of payment of such withholding tax to Lender and shall reasonably cooperate with Lender in connection with any contest or dispute with a governmental authority relating to such tax. If Borrower or any of its affiliates is required to deduct or withhold from any payment or delivery (in cash or in kind) hereunder, and does not so deduct or withhold, but such withholding or reduction is assessed directly against Borrower or any of its affiliates, then, except to the extent Lender has satisfied or then satisfies the liability resulting from such withholding or deduction, Lender shall promptly pay to Borrower or its affiliate, as applicable, the amount of such liability. If, as the result of the imposition of any applicable withholdings or deductions on account of taxes or other governmental charges, the amount Borrower or its affiliate actually receives in respect of any Loaned ADSs held by Borrower or such affiliate is less than the amount of the payment that Lender would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4 above, then the amount Borrower shall be required to pay per Loaned ADS pursuant to Section 4 above shall be the amount per Loaned ADS actually received by Borrower or such affiliate reduced by any fees or expenses of the Depositary and any applicable withholdings or deductions on account of taxes or other governmental charges imposed.

(b)            Lender will bear any present or future stamp, transfer, court, issue, documentary, capital, registration, value-added, property or other similar taxes or duties, including any indirect transfer tax under Public Notice 2015 No. 7 and any related laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), and including any interest or penalties, if any, that arise in any jurisdiction from the transfer of the Loaned ADSs or Ordinary Shares under this Agreement or upon redelivery of the Loaned ADSs or Replacement Cash under Section 3, or otherwise in connection with this Agreement. If Borrower determines in good faith that it is required to pay such taxes or other charges to any taxing or governmental authority, Borrower shall be entitled to pay them to the relevant authority and Lender shall reimburse Borrower for the amounts so paid and for the cost of preparing the applicable filings.

Section 10.        Lender’s Remedies.

(a)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Borrower is required to return Loaned ADSs pursuant to Section 3, and, in the good faith judgment of Borrower, the purchase and/or borrow of Loaned ADSs by Borrower or its affiliate or agent in an aggregate amount equal to all or any portion of the number of Loaned ADSs to be delivered to Lender in accordance with Section 3 shall (A) be prohibited by any law, rule or regulation of any governmental authority to which Borrower or its affiliate or agent is or would be subject (including any rule or code of conduct generally applicable to members of any self-regulatory organization of which Borrower or its affiliate or agent is a member or to the regulation of which it is subject (whether or not such rules or codes of conduct are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Borrower or its affiliate or agent)) or any related policies and procedures applicable to Borrower or its affiliate or agent (provided that such policies or procedures are generally applicable in similar situations) or would be unadvisable, based on the advice of external counsel of national standing or internal counsel of Borrower (or any of its affiliates), if Borrower or its affiliate or agent were to effect such purchases of Loaned ADSs as if Borrower or its affiliate or agent, as the case may be, were Lender or an affiliated purchaser of Lender while remaining in compliance with any such law, rule, regulation or code of conduct or related policies and procedures applicable to Borrower or such affiliate or agent (provided that such policies or procedures are generally applicable in similar situations), (B) violate, or would upon such purchase or borrow likely violate, any order or prohibition of any court, tribunal or other governmental authority, (C) require the prior consent of any court, tribunal or governmental authority prior to any such purchase or borrow, (D) based on the advice of counsel, subject Borrower or its affiliate or agent, as a result of making such purchase or borrow, to any liability or potential liability under any applicable federal securities law (including, without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act) or (E) be impracticable due to illiquidity of the ADSs across all relevant markets relative to the date hereof or due to a delisting or cancellation of the ADSs (each of ‎(A), ‎(B), ‎(C), ‎(D) and ‎(E), a “Repurchase Obstacle”), then, in each case, Borrower shall immediately notify Lender of the Repurchase Obstacle and the basis therefor, whereupon Borrower’s obligations under Section 3 shall be suspended until such time as no Repurchase Obstacle with respect to such obligations shall exist (a “Repayment Suspension”). Following the occurrence of and during the continuation of any Repayment Suspension, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remove or cure the Repurchase Obstacle as promptly as reasonably practicable and shall promptly deliver to Lender any Loaned ADSs it is able to acquire. If Borrower is unable to completely remove or cure the Repurchase Obstacle within thirty-five (35) Trading Days of the original date on which Borrower is required to return Loaned ADSs pursuant to this Agreement (such 35th Trading Day, the “Final Day”), Borrower shall pay to Lender, in lieu of the delivery of Loaned ADSs in accordance with Section 3, an amount in immediately available funds (the “Replacement Cash”) equal to the product of (x) the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average prices per ADS in respect of the period from the scheduled open of trading until the scheduled close of trading of the primary trading session on the Exchange on each Trading Day during a commercially reasonable period of consecutive Trading Days as determined by the Calculation Agent (the “VWAP Price”) and (y) the number of Loaned ADSs otherwise required to be delivered; provided that, in case of a Repurchase Obstacle due to a delisting or cancellation of the ADSs, the VWAP Price shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent using commercially reasonable means (based, to the extent practicable, on the VWAP Price (which definition shall be adjusted by the Calculation Agent to refer to “Ordinary Shares” and the relevant securities exchange as applicable) of the Ordinary Shares if the Ordinary Shares are then listed).

17

(b)            If Borrower shall fail to deliver Loaned ADSs to Lender as a result of a Borrower Default or a Lender Default pursuant to Section 3 when due or shall fail to pay Replacement Cash when due, then, in addition to any other remedies available to Lender under this Agreement or under applicable law, Lender shall have the right (upon prior written notice to Borrower) to purchase a like number of Loaned ADSs (“Replacement ADSs”) in the principal market for such securities in a commercially reasonable manner; provided that if any Repayment Suspension or failure to deliver shall exist and be continuing, Lender may not exercise such right if a Repurchase Obstacle exists solely as a result of action by Lender and, with respect to other Repurchase Obstacles, until after the thirty-five (35) Trading Day period referred to in Section 10(a) above. To the extent Lender shall exercise such right, Borrower’s obligation to return a like amount of Loaned ADSs or to pay the Replacement Cash, as applicable, shall terminate and Borrower shall be liable to Lender for the purchase price of the Replacement ADSs (plus all other amounts, if any, due to Lender hereunder), all of which shall be due and payable within two (2) Trading Days of notice to Borrower by Lender of the aggregate purchase price of the Replacement ADSs. The purchase price of Replacement ADSs purchased under this Section 10(b) shall include broker’s fees and commissions or any other costs, fees and expenses related to such purchase if none of the Borrower or any of its affiliates is able to act as a broker with respect to such purchases. In the event Lender exercises its rights under this Section 10(b), Lender may elect in its sole discretion, in lieu of purchasing all or a portion of the Replacement ADSs, to be deemed to have made, respectively, such purchase of Replacement ADSs for an amount equal to the Closing Price of the ADSs on the date Lender elects to exercise this remedy (or, if such date is not a Trading Day, the immediately preceding Trading Day).

18

Section 11.        Transfers.

(a)            Subject to Section 3(d), all transfers of Loaned ADSs to Borrower or Lender hereunder shall be made by the crediting by a Clearing Organization of such financial assets to the transferee’s account maintained with such Clearing Organization. Subject to Section 3(d), all transfers of Loaned ADSs to Lender hereunder shall be made by the delivery of such Loaned ADSs to the Depositary at Lender’s Designated Account (whereupon, for the avoidance of doubt, such Loaned ADSs credited to Lender’s Designated Account shall become the property of Lender, and Borrower shall have no voting, dispositive control or pecuniary interest with respect thereto).

(b)            All transfers of cash hereunder to Borrower or Lender shall be by wire transfer in immediately available, freely transferable funds to the Borrower’s Cash Account (or such other account as Borrower shall notify to Lender in writing prior to such transfer) or the Lender’s Cash Account (or such other account as Lender shall notify to Borrower in writing prior to such transfer) respectively.

(c)            A transfer of securities or cash may be effected under this Section 11 on any day except (i) a day on which the transferee is closed for business at its principal address or (ii) a day on which a Clearing Organization or wire transfer system is closed, if the facilities of such Clearing Organization or wire transfer system are required to effect such transfer.

(d)            The rights and duties of Borrower under this Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by Borrower without the prior written consent of Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or duties hereunder to Borrower’s ultimate parent entity or any directly or indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary or affiliate of Borrower’s ultimate parent entity (a “Permitted Transferee”) without the prior written consent of Lender as long as such Permitted Transferee is of equal or better credit rating as Borrower or is guaranteed by Borrower or an entity of equal or better credit rating as Borrower.

(e)            The rights and duties of Lender under this Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by Lender without the prior written consent of Borrower.

Section 12.        Indemnities.

(a)            Lender hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Borrower and its affiliates and its and their directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Borrower within the meaning of the Securities Act (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) from and against any and all liabilities, judgments, claims, settlements, losses, damages, fees, liens, taxes, penalties, obligations and expenses (including, without limitation, any losses relating to Borrower’s market activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, any forbearance of market activities or cessation of market activities and any losses in connection therewith) incurred or suffered by any such person or entity directly arising from, by reason of, or in connection with, (i) any breach by Lender of any of its representations or warranties contained in Section 7 or (ii) any breach by Lender of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement.

19

(b)            Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender and its affiliates and its and their directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Lender within the meaning of the Securities Act from and against any and all liabilities, judgments, claims, settlements, losses, damages, fees, liens, taxes, penalties, obligations and expenses, incurred or suffered by any such person or entity directly arising from, by reason of, or in connection with (i) any breach by Borrower of any of its representations or warranties contained in Section 7 or (ii) any breach by Borrower of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement.

(c)            In case any claim or litigation which might give rise to any obligation of a party under this Section 12 (each an “Indemnifying Party”) shall come to the attention of the party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the existence and amount thereof; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not adversely affect the right of the Indemnified Party to indemnification under this Agreement, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing if it accepts such claim or litigation as being within its indemnification obligations under this Section 12. Such response shall be delivered no later than thirty days after the initial notification from the Indemnified Party; provided that, if the Indemnifying Party reasonably cannot respond to such notice within thirty days, the Indemnifying Party shall respond to the Indemnified Party as soon thereafter as reasonably possible.

(d)            An Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, if (i) in the judgment of the Indemnified Party such claim can properly be resolved by money damages alone and the Indemnifying Party has the financial resources to pay such damages and (ii) the Indemnifying Party admits that this indemnity fully covers the claim or litigation, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to direct the defense of any claim at its expense, but such defense shall be conducted by legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. An Indemnified Party shall not make any settlement of any claim or litigation under this Section 12 without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 12, an Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for any special, indirect or consequential damages, even if informed of the possibility thereof.

20

Section 13.        Termination of Agreement.

(a)            This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the date on which Lender notifies Borrower in writing of its intention to terminate this Agreement at any time after the date on which the entire principal amount of the Convertible Notes ceases to be outstanding, whether as a result of conversion, repurchase, redemption, cancellation or otherwise, (ii) the date as of which Borrower has returned all Loaned ADSs to Lender, (iii) the written agreement of Lender and Borrower to so terminate, (iv) the termination of the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement without issuance of the Convertible Notes, (v) the election (or deemed election) by Lender to terminate pursuant to Section 9(a) upon the occurrence of a Borrower Default as set forth in Section 9(a), and (vi) the election (or deemed election) by Borrower to terminate pursuant to Section 9(b) upon the occurrence of a Lender Default as set forth in Section 9(b).
