The parties hereto are hereinafter together referred to as the “Parties” and each individually as a “Party.”

RECITALS

WHEREAS, each Party is a party to that certain Share Transfer Agreement, dated as of August 13, 2020 (the “Share Transfer Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to terminate the Share Transfer Agreement and to be bound by the other provisions set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements hereinafter contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Share Transfer Agreement.

2. Termination of Share Transfer Agreement. The Parties hereby agree that the Share Transfer Agreement, including all schedules and exhibits thereto, and all ancillary agreements contemplated thereby or entered pursuant thereto (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), are hereby terminated effective immediately as of the date hereof and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Transaction Documents, the Transaction Documents are terminated in their entirety and shall be of no further force or effect whatsoever.

 

3.

Mutual Release; Covenant Not to Sue.

 

  (a)

Each Party does hereby knowingly, voluntarily, unconditionally and irrevocably waive, fully and finally release, acquit, forever discharge and hold harmless, the other Party and any of its former, current or future agents, advisors, representatives, Subsidiaries, Affiliates and officers, directors, members, managers and employees of Affiliates, (and in the case of Tencent, its former, current or future) officers, directors, managers, members, partners, shareholders, employees and principals, and any heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns of any said person or entity (the “Related Parties”), from any and all past, present, direct, indirect, and derivative liabilities, actions, causes of action, cases, claims, suits, debts, dues, sums of money, attorney’s fees, accounts, reckonings, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, variances, harms, damages, judgments, remedies, extents, executions, demands, liens and damages of every kind and nature, in law, equity or otherwise, asserted or that could have been asserted, under applicable Laws, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, foreseen or unforeseen, anticipated or unanticipated, whether or not concealed or hidden, at any time in the past until and including the date hereof (collectively, “Actions”), that in any way arise from or out of, are based upon, or are in connection with or relate to (i) Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach, non-performance, action or failure to act under the Transaction Documents and (iii) the proposed share transfer, including the events leading to the abandonment of the share transfer and the termination of the Share Transfer Agreement or any other Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Released Claims”).

 

1


  (b)

It is understood and agreed that the preceding paragraph is a full and final release covering all known as well as unknown or unanticipated debts, claims or damages of the Parties and their Related Parties relating to or arising out of the Transaction Documents. Therefore, each of the Parties expressly waives any rights it may have under any statute or common law principle under which a general release does not extend to claims which such Party does not know or suspects to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by such Party must have affected such Party’s settlement with the other. In connection with such waiver and relinquishment, the Parties acknowledge that they or their attorneys or agents may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those which they now know or believe to exist with respect to the Released Claims, but that it is their intention hereby fully, finally and forever to settle and release all of the Released Claims. In furtherance of this intention, the releases herein given shall be and remain in effect as full and complete mutual releases with regard to the Released Claims notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different claim or fact.

 

  (c)

Each Party hereby covenants to the other Party and its Related Parties not to, with respect to any Released Claim, directly or indirectly encourage or solicit or voluntarily assist or participate in any way in the filing, reporting or prosecution by such Party or its Related Parties or any third party of a suit, arbitration, mediation, or claim (including a third party or derivative claim) against the other Party and/or its Related Parties relating to any Released Claim. The covenants contained in this Section 3 shall survive this Agreement indefinitely regardless of any statute of limitations.

 

4.

Representations of the Parties. Each Party represents and warrants to the other Party as follows:

 

  (a)

This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

 

2


  (b)

The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Party do not, and the performance by such Party of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not, in any material respects: (i) in the case of Tencent, conflict with, or result in a violation or breach of, any provision of its organizational documents, (ii) conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) a default under or require a consent or waiver under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any contractual restriction binding on such Party or affecting such Party or any of their assets; or (iii) conflict with or violate any order or judgment of any court or other agency of government applicable to such Party or any of such Party’s assets.
