Schedule F

Indemnification

1. Indemnification by the Warrantors.

(a) General Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, each of the Warrantors covenants and agrees jointly and severally to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon: (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any Company Warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Warrantors in the Transaction Documents; (ii) the failure of any Warrantor to perform or observe fully any covenant, agreement or other provision to be performed or observed by it pursuant to the Transaction Documents. If and to the extent that such indemnification is unenforceable for any reason, each Warrantor will make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such indemnified liabilities permissible under applicable Law.

(b) Tax Indemnity. Each of the Warrantors shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any Loss attributable to (i) non-payment of any Tax of any Group Company for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing and the portion through the end of the Closing for any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing, (ii) all liability for non-payment of any Tax of any other Person imposed by any Governmental Authority on any Group Company as a transferee, successor, or withholding agent in connection with an event or transaction occurring before the Closing, and (iii) all liability for Tax attributable to any misrepresentation or breach of Warranty made in Section 4.19 of this Agreement. The indemnification obligation of the Warrantors under this Section 1(b) shall not be affected, qualified or restricted in any way by any matter disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule.

(c) SAFE Indemnity. Each of the Warrantors shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any Loss attributable to any liability for any non-compliance regarding the SAFE registration according to the Circular 37 or any of the SAFE Rules and Regulations by any of the Founders or any other employee of the Group Companies who is required to comply with such SAFE Rules and Regulations with respect to their holdings of Equity Securities in the Company and round-trip investment in the PRC through the WFOE. The indemnification obligation of the Warrantors under this Section 1(c) shall not be affected, qualified or restricted in any way by any matter disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule.

(d) Special Indemnity. Each of the Warrantors shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any Loss attributable to underpayment of social insurance premiums and housing funds for all employees by the PRC Group Companies. The indemnification obligation of the Warrantors under this Section 1(d) shall not be affected, qualified or restricted in any way by any matter disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule.

 

Schedules to Follow-On Series E Preferred Share Purchase Agreement


(e) Procedure. Each Indemnitee will notify the Warrantors in writing of any Action against such Indemnitee in respect of which the Warrantors are or may be obligated to provide indemnification hereunder promptly after the receipt of notice or knowledge of the commencement thereof. The failure of any Indemnitee to notify other Parties shall not relieve the Warrantors from any liability or obligation which it may have to such Indemnitee under Schedules to Follow-On Series E Preferred Share Purchase Agreement this Section 1(e) of this Schedule F or otherwise unless the failure to so notify results in the forfeiture by the Warrantors of substantial rights and defenses and will not in any event relieve the Warrantors from any obligations other than the indemnification provided for herein. The Warrantors will have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Warrantors so desire, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. However, the Indemnitee will have the right to retain separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Warrantors, if representation of such Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Warrantors would be, in the Indemnitee’s view, inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Warrantors will be responsible for the expenses of such defense even if the Warrantors do not elect to assume such defense. No Warrantor may, except with the consent of the Indemnitee, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as a term thereof the unconditional release of the Indemnitee of all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

In particular, without limitation, the foregoing shall apply where one and the same set of facts qualifies under more than one provision entitling the Indemnitee to a claim or remedy under this Agreement.

(ii) No Warrantor shall be liable for any Losses arising under this Section 1 of this Schedule F unless the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds RMB5,000,000, in which case the Warrantors shall be liable for the full amount of all indemnifiable Losses as provided in this Section 1 of this Schedule F.

(iii) The personal assets of the Founders (other than the Equity Securities of the Group Companies directly or indirectly held by the Founders (including the proceeds received by the Founders from the sale of any Equity Securities of the Group Companies) shall not be used to indemnify any indemnifiable Loss.

(iv) With respect to each Investor, the maximum aggregate amount of Losses that corresponding Indemnitees will be entitled to recover pursuant to this Section 1 of this Schedule F shall be limited to Purchase Price actually paid by such Investor.

(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained herein, the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in this Schedule F) shall not apply to any claim based on fraud of the Warrantors.

2. Other Rights and Remedies Not Affected. Nothing in this Schedule F or elsewhere in this Agreement shall affect any Parties’ rights to specific performance or other equitable or non-monetary remedies with respect to the covenants and agreements in the Transaction Documents or that are to be performed at or after the Closing.
