(3) If Party A or its affiliates reach a separate agreement with Party B on Party B’s performance of non-competition obligations based on other arrangements (including but not limited to equity incentive plans, etc.), Party A’s investigation into Party B’s liability for default based on this article does not affect Party A’s and its affiliates’ further investigation into Party B’s relevant liabilities for default based on other contractual agreements.

6. Others

If the agreement on dissolution/termination of the labor relationship or the resignation certificate clearly states that Party B does not need to perform non-competition obligations, this article will automatically become invalid and have no binding force on both parties. In this case, Party A does not need to pay any non-competition compensation to Party B, and Party B shall also have no right to claim any form of non-competition compensation from Party A.
