(c) at any time prior to the Closing, by either the Company or the Lead Investor if any Restraint enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions at the Closing shall be in effect and shall have become final and non-appealable prior to the Closing Date; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.01(c) will not be available to any party that has breached in any material respect any provision of this Agreement in any manner that was the primary cause of the Restraint;

(d) at any time prior to the Closing, by the Lead Investor if the Company shall have breached any of its representations or warranties or failed to perform any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.01 and Section 6.03, and (ii) is incapable of being cured prior to the Termination Date, or if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within thirty (30) calendar days (but in no event later than the Termination Date) following receipt by the Company of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from the Lead Investor stating the Lead Investor’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.01(d) and the asis for such termination; provided that the Lead Investor shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.01(d) if the Lead Investor is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder;

(e) at any time prior to the Closing, by the Company with respect to an Investor if such Investor shall have breached any of its representations or warranties or failed to perform any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.01 and Section 6.02 with respect to the issuance and subscription of such Investor’s Applicable Subscribed Shares, and (ii) is incapable of being cured prior to the Termination Date, or if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within thirty (30) calendar days (but in no event later than the Termination Date) following receipt by such Investor of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from the Company stating the Company’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.01(e) and the basis for such termination; provided that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.01(e) if the Company is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder; provided, further, that if the Company exercises its termination right pursuant to this Section 7.01(e) due to a breach or failure to perform by an Investor other than the Lead Investor, such termination shall be binding on such Investor only and not, for the avoidance of doubt, on the Lead Investor;

(f) by the Company within three (3) days after the expiration of the Consultation Period if at the end of the Consultation Period, the Lead Investor has not waived the condition set forth in Section 6.03(o) and the Lead Investor and the Company have not mutually agreed on any Alternative Financing; provided, that, the Company agrees that if at any time within the six (6) months following the termination of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to this Section 7.01(f), the Subject Auditor issues the unqualified opinion required under the Audited 2019 Financial Statements, the Lead Investor shall have the right to require the Company to enter into, and the Company shall enter into, an agreement on substantially the same terms as this Agreement (which for the avoidance of doubt shall include without limitation the per share subscription price, the investment amount and the types of securities contemplated hereunder); or

If the Lead Investor has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.01(g) but fails to provide the Company with a RSA and CB Scheme Review Termination Notice during the RSA and CB Scheme Review Period or, if a RSA and CB Scheme Review Extension Notice has been sent by the Lead Investor during the RSA and CB Scheme Review Period, the Further RSA and CB Scheme Review Period, the condition set forth in Section 6.03(h) shall be deemed irrevocably waived by the Lead Investor on behalf of all Investors; provided that, in the event that the Restructuring Support Agreement or CB Scheme is further amended or supplemented, the condition set forth in Section 6.03(h) shall be reinstated and the procedures set forth under Section 5.18 and this Section 7.01(g) shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, (A) the accession of additional Bondholders to the Restructuring Support Agreement as consenting creditors alone, (B) the extension of milestones and benchmark dates under the Restructuring Support Agreement, (C) the waiver of milestones and conditions precedent under the Restructuring Support Agreement and (D) the payment of consent fees to Bondholders in accordance with the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement, in and of themselves shall not be deemed to be an amendment or supplement of the Restructuring Support Agreement for any purpose of this Section 7.01(g).

Section 7.02 Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7.01, written notice thereof shall be given to the other parties hereto, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made.

(b) In the event the Lead Investor exercises its right to terminate this Agreements provided in Section 7.01 or the Company exercises its right to terminate this Agreement with respect to a breach or failure to perform by the Lead Investor provided in Section 7.01, such termination shall be binding on all parties hereto (including Joy Capital).

(c) Other than the termination of this Agreement by the Company with respect to a breach or failure to perform by an Investor (other than the Lead Investor) pursuant to Section 7.01(e), which termination shall be binding on such Investor only and not on the Lead Investor and in which case this Agreement shall continue to be in effect with respect to the Company and the Lead Investor, in the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void (other than Section 5.04, Section 5.05, the proviso in Section 7.01(f), this Section 7.02 and Article IX, all of which shall survive termination of this Agreement), and there shall be no liability on the part of any party hereto or their respective directors, officers and Affiliates in connection with this Agreement, except that no such termination shall relieve any party from liability for damages to another party (i) resulting from fraud, or (ii) for any breach of this Agreement occurring prior to termination. The Company’s or the Lead Investor’s right of termination under Section 7.01 is in addition to any other right it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of a party’s right of termination will not constitute an election of remedies.

For the avoidance of doubt, claims may be made with respect to the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant until the applicable survival period therefor as described above expires.

The parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the right of each party to cause the Closing to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement) without proof of damages or otherwise (in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 9.07), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, neither the Company nor any Investor would have entered into this Agreement. The parties hereto agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, and agree not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.07 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.
