Section 7.2 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party.

Section 7.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Merger Agreement and any other agreement or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 7.4 Specific Performance. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any covenant or agreement of such party in this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms, and therefore agrees that, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right available to the non-breaching party, the non-breaching party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof. Each party hereto agrees not to oppose the granting of such relief in the event a court determines that such a breach has occurred, and to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. All rights, powers, and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any thereof by a party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by a party.

 

13


Section 7.5 Amendments; Waivers. At any time prior to the Expiration Time, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the parties hereto and the Company (at the direction of the Special Committee), or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective, and in the case of a waiver by Parent or Merger Sub, with the prior written consent of the Company (at the direction of the Special Committee). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.

Section 7.6 Confidentiality. Subject to Section 5.1(d), this Agreement shall be treated as confidential and may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to in any document, except with the prior written consent of the parties hereto; provided, that each party hereto may, without such written consent, disclose the existence and content of this Agreement to its Representatives and to the extent required by Law, the applicable rules of any national securities exchange or in connection with any SEC filings relating to the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Merger Agreement.

Section 7.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of Law or conflict of Law rules or provisions that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

Section 7.8 Dispute Resolution; Jurisdiction; Enforcement. Any disputes, actions and proceedings against any party or arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement and schedules hereto or the subject matter hereunder (including a dispute regarding the existence, validity, formation, effect, interpretation, performance or termination of this Agreement) shall be submitted to the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) and resolved in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of HKIAC in force at the relevant time. The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The official language of the arbitration (including but not limited to any arbitral award rendered) shall be English and the arbitration tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators (each, an “Arbitrator”). The claimant(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; the respondent(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; and a third Arbitrator will be nominated jointly by the first two Arbitrators and shall serve as chairman of the arbitration tribunal. In the event the claimant(s) or respondent(s) or the first two Arbitrators shall fail to nominate or agree the joint nomination of an Arbitrator or the third Arbitrator within the time limits specified by the Arbitration Rules of HKIAC, such Arbitrator shall be appointed promptly by the HKIAC. The arbitration tribunal shall have no authority to award punitive or other punitive-type damages. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the disputing parties. Any party to an award may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award and, for purposes of the enforcement of such award, the parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction and waive any defenses to such enforcement based on lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.

Section 7.9 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. There are no third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any person other than the parties hereto (and their respective successors, heirs and permitted assigns), any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company is an express third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the parties hereto, in addition to any other remedy available at law or in equity.

 

14


Section 7.10 Assignment; Binding Effect.

Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and, in the case of each Rollover Shareholder, its estate, heirs, beneficiaries, personal representatives and executors.

Section 7.11 No Presumption Against Drafting Party. Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges that it has been represented by independent counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of Law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the drafting party has no application and is expressly waived.

13


Section 8.3 Method of Asserting Claims. Claims for indemnification by an Indemnified Party under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 will be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) Third-Party Claims. In the event that an Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any Action by a third party in respect of which indemnity may be sought under the provisions of Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 (a “Third-Party Claim”) , the Indemnified Party shall deliver an Indemnity Notice with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to provide the Indemnity Notice with reasonable promptness after the Indemnified Party receives notice of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim to the extent that the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend is actually materially prejudiced by such failure of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will notify the Indemnified Party as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days (or less if the nature of the Third Party Claim requires) after receipt of the Indemnity Notice as to whether the Indemnifying Party will assume the defense or prosecution of such Third-Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice (reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party) and at its sole cost and expense.

(i) Defense by Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party (A) chooses not to defend the Third-Party Claim, (B) chooses to defend the Third-Party Claim but any time thereafter fails to prosecute or defend vigorously and diligently or settle (subject to the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed)) the Third-Party Claim, or (C) agrees in writing or if there is a conflict as described in Section 8.3(a)(ii), then the Indemnified Party will have the right (but not the obligation) to defend the Third-Party Claim with counsel (including relevant local counsel) of its choice, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. If it elects to defend the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting any Third-Party Claim that the Indemnified Party is contesting. The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.3, and the Indemnifying Party will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

 

14


(ii) Defense by Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.3(a) that the Indemnifying Party will assume the defense of the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall include in such notice an acknowledgement of the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for all Losses relating to such Third-Party Claim and shall defend, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, such Third-Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be vigorously and diligently prosecuted or defended by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party, in each case, subject to the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed). Once the Indemnifying Party has duly assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing. The Indemnified Party shall participate in any such defense at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if counsel for the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that there is a conflict between the positions of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in conducting the defense of such Third-Party Claim or that there are legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, then counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, if the Indemnified Party so elects, to participate in or conduct the defense to the extent reasonably determined by such counsel to protect the interests of the Indemnified Party, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnifying Party in contesting any Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest.

(b) Non-Third-Party Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 against any Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver an Indemnity Notice with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure or delay by any Indemnified Party to give the Indemnity Notice shall not impair such Indemnified Party’s rights hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced by such failure or delay. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim described in such Indemnity Notice or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the thirty (30) day period following receipt of an Indemnity Notice as to whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim described in such Indemnity Notice, the Loss identified in the Indemnity Notice will be conclusively deemed an indemnifiable Loss under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Loss to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations within the thirty (30) day period following receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to such Loss, such dispute shall be finally settled by binding arbitration pursuant to Section 9.8.

Section 8.4 Further Items Relating to Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of any Indemnified Party to indemnification under this ARTICLE VIII shall be subject to the following terms:

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Investor shall not be obligated to make indemnification payments pursuant to Section 8.2 or have any further liability to Parent hereunder or in connection with the Merger in the event that such Investor has paid pursuant to Section 5.5(b) its share of any reverse termination fee or other amount payable by Parent to the Company in accordance with Section 5.5(b) and its share of fees and out-of-pocket expenses related to the Merger payable in accordance with Section 5.5(c), Section 5.5(d) and Section 5.5(e); provided, that the limitations set forth in this Section 8.4(a) shall not apply to any Losses resulting from, arising out of or relating to any fraudulent acts or intentional misrepresentation.

 

15


(b) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for any Losses under Section 8.1(d) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses suffered, sustained or incurred by such Indemnified Party exceeds $250,000 (the “Deductible”), at which time such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be indemnified and compensated for its Losses in excess over the Deductible; provided, that the limitations set forth in this Section 8.4(b) shall not apply to any Losses resulting from, arising out of or relating to any fraudulent acts or intentional misrepresentation.

(c) For purposes of calculating damages under this ARTICLE VIII only, all qualifications as to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifiers contained in any representation or warranty in this Agreement and the Merger Agreement shall be disregarded.

(d) To the extent that any Losses for which any Investor brings a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1 are originally incurred by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, an Investor’s Losses shall be deemed to be equal to the Losses incurred by Parent or any such Subsidiaries or Affiliates, as the case may be, multiplied by the Investor’s Proportionate Pro Forma Ownership.

(e) Parent shall not have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including business interruption, diminution of value, loss of future revenue, profits or income, or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement.

Section 9.5 Specific Performance. Each Investor acknowledges and agrees that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any covenant or agreement of such Investor in this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms, and therefore agrees that, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right available to Parent or the Company, as applicable, each of Company (at the direction of the Special Committee) and Parent will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof.

Section 9.10 Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Investors (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of Parent and the Company (acting at the direction of the Special Committee). Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 9.11 No Presumption Against Drafting Party. Each of the Parties acknowledges that it has been represented by independent counsel in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions. Accordingly, any rule of Law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the drafting Party has no application and is expressly waived.

Section 9.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more consecutive counterparts (including by email pdf format), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered (by email pdf format or otherwise) to the other Parties; provided, however, that if any Investor fails for any reason to execute, or perform its obligations under, this Agreement, this Agreement shall remain effective as to all Parties executing this Agreement.

This Agreement and the Subscription Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 6.4 Specific Performance. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any covenant or agreement of such party in this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms, and therefore agrees that, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right available to the non-breaching party and the Company, each of the non-breaching party and the Company (at the direction of the Special Committee) will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof.

All rights, powers, and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any thereof by a party hereto or the Company, as applicable, shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by a party hereto or the Company.

Section 6.5 Amendments; Waivers. At any time prior to the termination of this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the parties hereto and the Company (at the direction of the Special Committee), or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective with the prior written consent of the Company (at the direction of the Special Committee).

Section 6.6 Confidentiality. This Agreement shall be treated as confidential and may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to in any document, except with the prior written consent of the parties hereto; provided, that each party hereto may, without such written consent, disclose the existence and content of this Agreement to its officers, directors, employees, partners, members, investors, financing sources, advisors (including financial and legal advisors) and any representatives of the foregoing and to the extent required by Law, the applicable rules of any national securities exchange or in connection with any SEC filings relating to the transactions contemplated or hereby or by the Subscription Agreement or referred to herein or in the Subscription Agreement.

Section 6.7 Governing Law.

EXECUTION VERSION

LIMITED GUARANTEE

LIMITED GUARANTEE, dated as of February 3, 2021 (this “Limited Guarantee”), by Ruhnn1106 Investment Limited (the “Guarantor”) in favor of Ruhnn Holding Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Guaranteed Party”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

1. GUARANTEE.

(a) To induce the Guaranteed Party to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) by and among RUNION Holding Limited (“Parent”), RUNION Mergersub Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Guaranteed Party, pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Guaranteed Party (the “Merger”) with the Guaranteed Party continuing as the surviving company in the Merger and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent, the Guarantor, intending to be legally bound, hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Guaranteed Party, the due and punctual payment, observance, performance and discharge as and when due of 22.4282% (the “Guaranteed Percentage”) of the payment obligations of Parent with respect to (i) the payment of the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.2(c) of the Merger Agreement (subject to the terms and limitations of Section 9.2(d) of the Merger Agreement) and (ii) the reimbursement obligations of Parent pursuant to Section 9.2(f) of the Merger Agreement (the aggregate obligations of Parent in sub-clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, without regard to the Guaranteed Percentage thereof, the “Obligations”); provided that, in no event shall the Guarantor’s aggregate liability under clause (i) of this Section 1(a) exceed 22.4282% of the Obligations (the “Cap”). This Limited Guarantee may be enforced for the payment of money damages only. The Guaranteed Party, by execution of this Limited Guarantee, agrees that the Guarantor shall not have any obligation or liability to the Guaranteed Party relating to, arising out of or in connection with, this Limited Guarantee, the Subscription Agreement or the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than as expressly set forth herein or in the Subscription Agreement. The Guaranteed Party, by execution of this Limited Guarantee, further acknowledges that, in the event that Parent has any unsatisfied payment obligations, payment of the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Limited Guarantee by the Guarantor (or by any other person, including Parent or Merger Sub on behalf of the Guarantor) shall constitute satisfaction in full of the Guarantor’s obligations with respect thereto. All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds.

(b) All payments made by the Guarantor pursuant to this Limited Guarantee shall be free and clear of any deduction, offset, defense, claim or counterclaim of any kind. If Parent fails to pay or cause to be paid any or all of the Obligations as and when due pursuant to Section 9.2(c) of the Merger Agreement and subject to the other relevant terms and limitations of the Merger Agreement, then the Guarantor’s liabilities to the Guaranteed Party hereunder in respect of such Obligations shall, at the Guaranteed Party’s option, become immediately due and payable and the Guaranteed Party may, at any time and from time to time, at the Guaranteed Party’s option, and so long as Parent remains in breach of such Obligation, take any and all actions available hereunder or under applicable Law to collect the Obligations from the Guarantor, subject to limitations described herein.


(c) Concurrently with the delivery of this Limited Guarantee, the parties set forth on Schedule A hereto (each, an “Other Guarantor”) are also entering into limited guarantees substantially identical to this Limited Guarantee (each, an “Other Guarantee”) with the Guaranteed Party. This Limited Guarantee shall become effective upon the substantially simultaneous signing of this Limited Guarantee and the Other Guarantees.

(d) The Guarantor agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fee and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Guaranteed Party in connection with the enforcement of its rights thereunder, including without limitation in the event (i) the Guarantor asserts in any Action that this Limited Guarantee is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in accordance with its terms and the Guaranteed Party prevails in such Action, or (ii) the Guarantor fails or refuses to make any payments to the Guaranteed Party hereunder when due and payable and it is determined judicially or by arbitration that the Guarantor is required to make such payment hereunder, which amounts will be in addition to the Obligations.

2. CHANGES IN OBLIGATION, CERTAIN WAIVERS.

(a) The Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Party may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, without notice to or further consent of the Guarantor, extend the time of payment of the Obligations, and may also make any agreement with Parent, Merger Sub, or any Other Guarantor or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement among the Guaranteed Party and Parent, Merger Sub or such other Person without in any way impairing or affecting the Guarantor’s obligations under this Limited Guarantee or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Limited Guarantee. The Guaranteed Party shall not release any of Other Guarantors from, or extend the time of payment of, any obligations under such Other Guarantees or amend or waive any provision of such Other Guarantees except to the extent the Guarantor under this Limited Guarantee is released, the payment obligation under this Limited Guarantee is extended or the provisions of the Limited Guarantee are amended or waived, in each case, on terms and conditions no less favorable than those applicable to the Other Guarantees. The Guarantor agrees that, except as set forth in clause (i) in the last sentence of Section 2(c) and except for termination in accordance with Section 7 of this Limited Guarantee, the obligation of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (i) the failure or delay on the part of the Guaranteed Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Parent, Merger Sub, or any Other Guarantor or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of any of the Obligations, or any rescission, waiver, compromise, consolidation or other amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Merger Agreement made in accordance with its terms or any agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any portion of the Obligations, in each case, to the extent any of the foregoing does not have the effect of increasing the Cap; (iii) the addition, substitution, legal or equitable discharge or release (in the case of a discharge or release, other than a discharge or release of the Guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations as a result of payment in full of the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations in accordance with their terms, a full discharge or release of Parent with respect to the Obligations under the Merger Agreement, or as a result of valid defenses to the payment of the Obligations that would be available to Parent or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement) of any Person now or thereafter liable with respect to any portion of the Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (iv) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (v) any Enforceability Exceptions of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or any of their respective assets or any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to any portion of the Obligations; (vi) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right which the Guarantor may have at any time against Parent, Merger Sub or the Guaranteed Party or any of their respective Affiliates, whether in connection with the Obligations or otherwise (other than defenses to the payment of the Obligations that are available to Parent or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement); (vii) any other act or omission that may in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of or to the Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge or release of the Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than as a result of payment of the applicable Obligations in accordance with its terms); (viii) the adequacy of any other means the Guaranteed Party may have of obtaining repayment related to the Obligations; or (ix) the value, validity, legality or enforceability of the Merger Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any applicable Law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Guaranteed Party. The Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this Limited Guarantee and of the Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of the occurrence of any Obligations and all other notices of any kind, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium Law or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of Parent or Merger Sub or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and all suretyship defenses generally (other than valid defenses to the payment of the Obligations that are available to Parent or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement). The Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this Limited Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

(b) The Guaranteed Party hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not institute, and shall cause its Controlled Affiliates not to institute, directly or indirectly, in the name of or on behalf of the Guaranteed Party or any other Person, any Action arising under, or in connection with, this Limited Guarantee, the Other Guarantees, the Merger Agreement and the Subscription Agreement (this Limited Guarantee, the Other Guarantees, Rollover Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the Subscription Agreement, collectively, the “Transaction Agreements”) or any other agreement or instrument delivered pursuant to such Transaction Agreements, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, against the Guarantor or any of the former, current and future equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners or assignees of the Guarantor, Other Guarantors, Parent or Merger Sub or any former, current or future shareholder, controlling person, director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, member, manager, Affiliate, agent or assignee of any of the foregoing (but not including the Guarantor, Other Guarantors, Parent or Merger Sub or their respective successors and assigns under the Transaction Agreements, each of these persons, a “Non-Recourse Party” and collectively, the “Non-Recourse Parties”), except for claims against (i) the Guarantor (but not any Non-Recourse Party) under (and to the extent permitted by) this Limited Guarantee by the Guaranteed Party (subject to the limitations described herein), (ii) each Other Guarantor under (and to the extent permitted by) its Other Guarantee (subject to the limitations described therein); (iii) the Guarantor, Other Guarantors and their respective successors and permitted assigns under the Subscription Agreement, (iv) Parent and Merger Sub and their respective successors and assigns under the Merger Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof, and (v) against Parent, Merger Sub and the Rollover Shareholders under the Rollover Agreement (the claims under clauses (i) through (v), whether or not against the Guarantor, Other Guarantors, Parent, Merger Sub, Rollover Shareholders and/or their respective successors and assigns, collectively, the “Retained Claims”).

(c) Except as set forth in Section 2 hereof, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against Parent or Merger Sub that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Obligations under or in respect of this Limited Guarantee or any other agreement in connection therewith, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Guaranteed Party against Parent, Merger Sub or any Other Guarantor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, but not limited to, the right to take or receive from Parent, Merger Sub or any Other Guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations shall have been paid in full in immediately available funds by the Guarantor (or by any other person, including Parent or Merger Sub, on behalf of the Guarantor). If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the payment in full in immediately available funds of the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations by the Guarantor (or by any other Person, including Parent or Merger Sub, on behalf of the Guarantor), such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Party, shall be segregated from other property and funds of the Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Guaranteed Party in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and this Limited Guarantee, whether matured or unmatured, or to be held as collateral for such Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Limited Guarantee, the Guaranteed Party hereby agrees (i) to the extent the Obligations are not payable pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Merger Agreement, the Guarantor shall be similarly relieved of its obligations to make payments under this Limited Guarantee for the same obligation for which Parent and Merger Sub were relieved under the Merger Agreement, and (ii) the Guarantor shall have all defenses to the payment of its obligations under this Limited Guarantee (which in any event shall be subject to the limitations described herein) that would be available to Parent and/or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement with respect to the Obligations, other than defenses arising from the Enforceability Exceptions of Parent or Merger Sub and other defenses expressly waived herein.

3. NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. No failure on the part of the Guaranteed Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Guaranteed Party of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Guaranteed Party or allowed it by Law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Guaranteed Party at any time or from time to time. The Guaranteed Party shall not have any obligation to proceed at any time or in any manner against, or exhaust any or all of the Guaranteed Party’s rights against, Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person (including any Other Guarantor) now or hereafter liable for the Obligation or interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement prior to proceeding against the Guarantor hereunder, and the failure by the Guaranteed Party to pursue rights or remedies against Parent or Merger Sub shall not relieve the Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights, remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Guaranteed Party.

The Guaranteed Party shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Obligations in the event that Parent or Merger Sub becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Guaranteed Party to so file shall not affect the Guarantor’s obligation hereunder. In the event that any payment to the Guaranteed Party in respect of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, the Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder with respect to the Guaranteed Percentage of such Obligations, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as if such payment had not been made.

The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The official language of the arbitration shall be English and the arbitration tribunal shall consist of three Arbitrators. The claimant(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; the respondent(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; and a third Arbitrator will be nominated jointly by the first two Arbitrators and shall serve as chairman of the arbitration tribunal. In the event the claimant(s) or respondent(s) or the first two Arbitrators shall fail to nominate or agree the joint nomination of an Arbitrator or the third Arbitrator within the time limits specified by the HKIAC Rules, such Arbitrator shall be appointed promptly by the HKIAC. The arbitration tribunal shall have no authority to award punitive or other punitive-type damages. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the disputing parties. Any party to an award may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award and, for purposes of the enforcement of such award, the parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction and waive any defenses to such enforcement based on lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.

12. COUNTERPARTS. This Limited Guarantee may be executed by facsimile or email and in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

13. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) To induce the Guaranteed Party to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) by and among RUNION Holding Limited (“Parent”), RUNION Mergersub Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Guaranteed Party, pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Guaranteed Party (the “Merger”) with the Guaranteed Party continuing as the surviving company in the Merger and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent, the Guarantor, intending to be legally bound, hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Guaranteed Party, the due and punctual payment, observance, performance and discharge as and when due of 31.7493% (the “Guaranteed Percentage”) of the payment obligations of Parent with respect to (i) the payment of the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.2(c) of the Merger Agreement (subject to the terms and limitations of Section 9.2(d) of the Merger Agreement) and (ii) the reimbursement obligations of Parent pursuant to Section 9.2(f) of the Merger Agreement (the aggregate obligations of Parent in sub-clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, without regard to the Guaranteed Percentage thereof, the “Obligations”); provided that, in no event shall the Guarantor’s aggregate liability under clause (i) of this Section 1(a) exceed 31.7493% of the Obligations (the “Cap”). This Limited Guarantee may be enforced for the payment of money damages only. The Guaranteed Party, by execution of this Limited Guarantee, agrees that the Guarantor shall not have any obligation or liability to the Guaranteed Party relating to, arising out of or in connection with, this Limited Guarantee, the Subscription Agreement or the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than as expressly set forth herein or in the Subscription Agreement. The Guaranteed Party, by execution of this Limited Guarantee, further acknowledges that, in the event that Parent has any unsatisfied payment obligations, payment of the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Limited Guarantee by the Guarantor (or by any other person, including Parent or Merger Sub on behalf of the Guarantor) shall constitute satisfaction in full of the Guarantor’s obligations with respect thereto. All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds.

(b) All payments made by the Guarantor pursuant to this Limited Guarantee shall be free and clear of any deduction, offset, defense, claim or counterclaim of any kind. If Parent fails to pay or cause to be paid any or all of the Obligations as and when due pursuant to Section 9.2(c) of the Merger Agreement and subject to the other relevant terms and limitations of the Merger Agreement, then the Guarantor’s liabilities to the Guaranteed Party hereunder in respect of such Obligations shall, at the Guaranteed Party’s option, become immediately due and payable and the Guaranteed Party may, at any time and from time to time, at the Guaranteed Party’s option, and so long as Parent remains in breach of such Obligation, take any and all actions available hereunder or under applicable Law to collect the Obligations from the Guarantor, subject to limitations described herein.


(c) Concurrently with the delivery of this Limited Guarantee, the parties set forth on Schedule A hereto (each, an “Other Guarantor”) are also entering into limited guarantees substantially identical to this Limited Guarantee (each, an “Other Guarantee”) with the Guaranteed Party. This Limited Guarantee shall become effective upon the substantially simultaneous signing of this Limited Guarantee and the Other Guarantees.

(d) The Guarantor agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fee and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Guaranteed Party in connection with the enforcement of its rights thereunder, including without limitation in the event (i) the Guarantor asserts in any Action that this Limited Guarantee is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in accordance with its terms and the Guaranteed Party prevails in such Action, or (ii) the Guarantor fails or refuses to make any payments to the Guaranteed Party hereunder when due and payable and it is determined judicially or by arbitration that the Guarantor is required to make such payment hereunder, which amounts will be in addition to the Obligations.

2. CHANGES IN OBLIGATION, CERTAIN WAIVERS.

(a) The Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Party may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, without notice to or further consent of the Guarantor, extend the time of payment of the Obligations, and may also make any agreement with Parent, Merger Sub, or any Other Guarantor or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement among the Guaranteed Party and Parent, Merger Sub or such other Person without in any way impairing or affecting the Guarantor’s obligations under this Limited Guarantee or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Limited Guarantee. The Guaranteed Party shall not release any of Other Guarantors from, or extend the time of payment of, any obligations under such Other Guarantees or amend or waive any provision of such Other Guarantees except to the extent the Guarantor under this Limited Guarantee is released, the payment obligation under this Limited Guarantee is extended or the provisions of the Limited Guarantee are amended or waived, in each case, on terms and conditions no less favorable than those applicable to the Other Guarantees. The Guarantor agrees that, except as set forth in clause (i) in the last sentence of Section 2(c) and except for termination in accordance with Section 7 of this Limited Guarantee, the obligation of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (i) the failure or delay on the part of the Guaranteed Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Parent, Merger Sub, or any Other Guarantor or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of any of the Obligations, or any rescission, waiver, compromise, consolidation or other amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Merger Agreement made in accordance with its terms or any agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any portion of the Obligations, in each case, to the extent any of the foregoing does not have the effect of increasing the Cap; (iii) the addition, substitution, legal or equitable discharge or release (in the case of a discharge or release, other than a discharge or release of the Guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations as a result of payment in full of the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations in accordance with their terms, a full discharge or release of Parent with respect to the Obligations under the Merger Agreement, or as a result of valid defenses to the payment of the Obligations that would be available to Parent or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement) of any Person now or thereafter liable with respect to any portion of the Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (iv) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (v) any Enforceability Exceptions of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or any of their respective assets or any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to any portion of the Obligations; (vi) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right which the Guarantor may have at any time against Parent, Merger Sub or the Guaranteed Party or any of their respective Affiliates, whether in connection with the Obligations or otherwise (other than defenses to the payment of the Obligations that are available to Parent or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement); (vii) any other act or omission that may in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of or to the Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge or release of the Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than as a result of payment of the applicable Obligations in accordance with its terms); (viii) the adequacy of any other means the Guaranteed Party may have of obtaining repayment related to the Obligations; or (ix) the value, validity, legality or enforceability of the Merger Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any applicable Law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Guaranteed Party. The Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this Limited Guarantee and of the Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of the occurrence of any Obligations and all other notices of any kind, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium Law or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of Parent or Merger Sub or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and all suretyship defenses generally (other than valid defenses to the payment of the Obligations that are available to Parent or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement). The Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this Limited Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

(b) The Guaranteed Party hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not institute, and shall cause its Controlled Affiliates not to institute, directly or indirectly, in the name of or on behalf of the Guaranteed Party or any other Person, any Action arising under, or in connection with, this Limited Guarantee, the Other Guarantees, the Merger Agreement and the Subscription Agreement (this Limited Guarantee, the Other Guarantees, Rollover Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the Subscription Agreement, collectively, the “Transaction Agreements”) or any other agreement or instrument delivered pursuant to such Transaction Agreements, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, against the Guarantor or any of the former, current and future equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners or assignees of the Guarantor, Other Guarantors, Parent or Merger Sub or any former, current or future shareholder, controlling person, director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, member, manager, Affiliate, agent or assignee of any of the foregoing (but not including the Guarantor, Other Guarantors, Parent or Merger Sub or their respective successors and assigns under the Transaction Agreements, each of these persons, a “Non-Recourse Party” and collectively, the “Non-Recourse Parties”), except for claims against (i) the Guarantor (but not any Non-Recourse Party) under (and to the extent permitted by) this Limited Guarantee by the Guaranteed Party (subject to the limitations described herein), (ii) each Other Guarantor under (and to the extent permitted by) its Other Guarantee (subject to the limitations described therein); (iii) the Guarantor, Other Guarantors and their respective successors and permitted assigns under the Subscription Agreement, (iv) Parent and Merger Sub and their respective successors and assigns under the Merger Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof, and (v) against Parent, Merger Sub and the Rollover Shareholders under the Rollover Agreement (the claims under clauses (i) through (v), whether or not against the Guarantor, Other Guarantors, Parent, Merger Sub, Rollover Shareholders and/or their respective successors and assigns, collectively, the “Retained Claims”).

(c) Except as set forth in Section 2 hereof, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against Parent or Merger Sub that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Obligations under or in respect of this Limited Guarantee or any other agreement in connection therewith, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Guaranteed Party against Parent, Merger Sub or any Other Guarantor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, but not limited to, the right to take or receive from Parent, Merger Sub or any Other Guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations shall have been paid in full in immediately available funds by the Guarantor (or by any other person, including Parent or Merger Sub, on behalf of the Guarantor). If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the payment in full in immediately available funds of the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations by the Guarantor (or by any other Person, including Parent or Merger Sub, on behalf of the Guarantor), such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Party, shall be segregated from other property and funds of the Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Guaranteed Party in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and this Limited Guarantee, whether matured or unmatured, or to be held as collateral for such Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Limited Guarantee, the Guaranteed Party hereby agrees (i) to the extent the Obligations are not payable pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Merger Agreement, the Guarantor shall be similarly relieved of its obligations to make payments under this Limited Guarantee for the same obligation for which Parent and Merger Sub were relieved under the Merger Agreement, and (ii) the Guarantor shall have all defenses to the payment of its obligations under this Limited Guarantee (which in any event shall be subject to the limitations described herein) that would be available to Parent and/or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement with respect to the Obligations, other than defenses arising from the Enforceability Exceptions of Parent or Merger Sub and other defenses expressly waived herein.

3. NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. No failure on the part of the Guaranteed Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Guaranteed Party of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Guaranteed Party or allowed it by Law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Guaranteed Party at any time or from time to time.

This Limited Guarantee may be enforced for the payment of money damages only. The Guaranteed Party, by execution of this Limited Guarantee, agrees that the Guarantor shall not have any obligation or liability to the Guaranteed Party relating to, arising out of or in connection with, this Limited Guarantee, the Subscription Agreement or the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than as expressly set forth herein or in the Subscription Agreement. The Guaranteed Party, by execution of this Limited Guarantee, further acknowledges that, in the event that Parent has any unsatisfied payment obligations, payment of the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Limited Guarantee by the Guarantor (or by any other person, including Parent or Merger Sub on behalf of the Guarantor) shall constitute satisfaction in full of the Guarantor’s obligations with respect thereto. All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds.

(b) All payments made by the Guarantor pursuant to this Limited Guarantee shall be free and clear of any deduction, offset, defense, claim or counterclaim of any kind. If Parent fails to pay or cause to be paid any or all of the Obligations as and when due pursuant to Section 9.2(c) of the Merger Agreement and subject to the other relevant terms and limitations of the Merger Agreement, then the Guarantor’s liabilities to the Guaranteed Party hereunder in respect of such Obligations shall, at the Guaranteed Party’s option, become immediately due and payable and the Guaranteed Party may, at any time and from time to time, at the Guaranteed Party’s option, and so long as Parent remains in breach of such Obligation, take any and all actions available hereunder or under applicable Law to collect the Obligations from the Guarantor, subject to limitations described herein.

This Limited Guarantee shall become effective upon the substantially simultaneous signing of this Limited Guarantee and the Other Guarantees.

(d) The Guarantor agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fee and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Guaranteed Party in connection with the enforcement of its rights thereunder, including without limitation in the event (i) the Guarantor asserts in any Action that this Limited Guarantee is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in accordance with its terms and the Guaranteed Party prevails in such Action, or (ii) the Guarantor fails or refuses to make any payments to the Guaranteed Party hereunder when due and payable and it is determined judicially or by arbitration that the Guarantor is required to make such payment hereunder, which amounts will be in addition to the Obligations.

2. CHANGES IN OBLIGATION, CERTAIN WAIVERS.

(c) Except as set forth in Section 2 hereof, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against Parent or Merger Sub that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Obligations under or in respect of this Limited Guarantee or any other agreement in connection therewith, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Guaranteed Party against Parent, Merger Sub or any Other Guarantor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, but not limited to, the right to take or receive from Parent, Merger Sub or any Other Guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations shall have been paid in full in immediately available funds by the Guarantor (or by any other person, including Parent or Merger Sub, on behalf of the Guarantor).

In the event that any payment to the Guaranteed Party in respect of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, the Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder with respect to the Guaranteed Percentage of such Obligations, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as if such payment had not been made.

The arbitration tribunal shall have no authority to award punitive or other punitive-type damages. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the disputing parties. Any party to an award may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award and, for purposes of the enforcement of such award, the parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction and waive any defenses to such enforcement based on lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.

12. COUNTERPARTS.

EXECUTION VERSION

LIMITED GUARANTEE

LIMITED GUARANTEE, dated as of February 3, 2021 (this “Limited Guarantee”), by Shanghai Yingjun Enterprise Management Center (Limited Partnership) (上海映鋆企业管理中心(有限合伙)) (the “Guarantor”) in favor of Ruhnn Holding Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Guaranteed Party”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

1. GUARANTEE.

(a) To induce the Guaranteed Party to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) by and among RUNION Holding Limited (“Parent”), RUNION Mergersub Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Guaranteed Party, pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Guaranteed Party (the “Merger”) with the Guaranteed Party continuing as the surviving company in the Merger and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent, the Guarantor, intending to be legally bound, hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Guaranteed Party, the due and punctual payment, observance, performance and discharge as and when due of 22.3238% (the “Guaranteed Percentage”) of the payment obligations of Parent with respect to (i) the payment of the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.2(c) of the Merger Agreement (subject to the terms and limitations of Section 9.2(d) of the Merger Agreement) and (ii) the reimbursement obligations of Parent pursuant to Section 9.2(f) of the Merger Agreement (the aggregate obligations of Parent in sub-clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, without regard to the Guaranteed Percentage thereof, the “Obligations”); provided that, in no event shall the Guarantor’s aggregate liability under clause (i) of this Section 1(a) exceed 22.3238% of the Obligations (the “Cap”). This Limited Guarantee may be enforced for the payment of money damages only. The Guaranteed Party, by execution of this Limited Guarantee, agrees that the Guarantor shall not have any obligation or liability to the Guaranteed Party relating to, arising out of or in connection with, this Limited Guarantee, the Subscription Agreement or the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than as expressly set forth herein or in the Subscription Agreement. The Guaranteed Party, by execution of this Limited Guarantee, further acknowledges that, in the event that Parent has any unsatisfied payment obligations, payment of the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Limited Guarantee by the Guarantor (or by any other person, including Parent or Merger Sub on behalf of the Guarantor) shall constitute satisfaction in full of the Guarantor’s obligations with respect thereto. All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds.

(b) All payments made by the Guarantor pursuant to this Limited Guarantee shall be free and clear of any deduction, offset, defense, claim or counterclaim of any kind. If Parent fails to pay or cause to be paid any or all of the Obligations as and when due pursuant to Section 9.2(c) of the Merger Agreement and subject to the other relevant terms and limitations of the Merger Agreement, then the Guarantor’s liabilities to the Guaranteed Party hereunder in respect of such Obligations shall, at the Guaranteed Party’s option, become immediately due and payable and the Guaranteed Party may, at any time and from time to time, at the Guaranteed Party’s option, and so long as Parent remains in breach of such Obligation, take any and all actions available hereunder or under applicable Law to collect the Obligations from the Guarantor, subject to limitations described herein.


(c) Concurrently with the delivery of this Limited Guarantee, the parties set forth on Schedule A hereto (each, an “Other Guarantor”) are also entering into limited guarantees substantially identical to this Limited Guarantee (each, an “Other Guarantee”) with the Guaranteed Party. This Limited Guarantee shall become effective upon the substantially simultaneous signing of this Limited Guarantee and the Other Guarantees.

(d) The Guarantor agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fee and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Guaranteed Party in connection with the enforcement of its rights thereunder, including without limitation in the event (i) the Guarantor asserts in any Action that this Limited Guarantee is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in accordance with its terms and the Guaranteed Party prevails in such Action, or (ii) the Guarantor fails or refuses to make any payments to the Guaranteed Party hereunder when due and payable and it is determined judicially or by arbitration that the Guarantor is required to make such payment hereunder, which amounts will be in addition to the Obligations.

2. CHANGES IN OBLIGATION, CERTAIN WAIVERS.

(a) The Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Party may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, without notice to or further consent of the Guarantor, extend the time of payment of the Obligations, and may also make any agreement with Parent, Merger Sub, or any Other Guarantor or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement among the Guaranteed Party and Parent, Merger Sub or such other Person without in any way impairing or affecting the Guarantor’s obligations under this Limited Guarantee or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Limited Guarantee. The Guaranteed Party shall not release any of Other Guarantors from, or extend the time of payment of, any obligations under such Other Guarantees or amend or waive any provision of such Other Guarantees except to the extent the Guarantor under this Limited Guarantee is released, the payment obligation under this Limited Guarantee is extended or the provisions of the Limited Guarantee are amended or waived, in each case, on terms and conditions no less favorable than those applicable to the Other Guarantees. The Guarantor agrees that, except as set forth in clause (i) in the last sentence of Section 2(c) and except for termination in accordance with Section 7 of this Limited Guarantee, the obligation of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (i) the failure or delay on the part of the Guaranteed Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Parent, Merger Sub, or any Other Guarantor or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of any of the Obligations, or any rescission, waiver, compromise, consolidation or other amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Merger Agreement made in accordance with its terms or any agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any portion of the Obligations, in each case, to the extent any of the foregoing does not have the effect of increasing the Cap; (iii) the addition, substitution, legal or equitable discharge or release (in the case of a discharge or release, other than a discharge or release of the Guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations as a result of payment in full of the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations in accordance with their terms, a full discharge or release of Parent with respect to the Obligations under the Merger Agreement, or as a result of valid defenses to the payment of the Obligations that would be available to Parent or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement) of any Person now or thereafter liable with respect to any portion of the Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (iv) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (v) any Enforceability Exceptions of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or any of their respective assets or any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to any portion of the Obligations; (vi) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right which the Guarantor may have at any time against Parent, Merger Sub or the Guaranteed Party or any of their respective Affiliates, whether in connection with the Obligations or otherwise (other than defenses to the payment of the Obligations that are available to Parent or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement); (vii) any other act or omission that may in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of or to the Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge or release of the Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than as a result of payment of the applicable Obligations in accordance with its terms); (viii) the adequacy of any other means the Guaranteed Party may have of obtaining repayment related to the Obligations; or (ix) the value, validity, legality or enforceability of the Merger Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any applicable Law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Guaranteed Party. The Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this Limited Guarantee and of the Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of the occurrence of any Obligations and all other notices of any kind, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium Law or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of Parent or Merger Sub or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and all suretyship defenses generally (other than valid defenses to the payment of the Obligations that are available to Parent or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement).

8. NO RECOURSE.

9. NATURE OF GUARANTEE. The Guarantor’s liability hereunder is absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing irrespective of any modification, amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Merger Agreement that may be agreed to by Parent or Merger Sub. The Guaranteed Party shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Obligations in the event that Parent or Merger Sub becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Guaranteed Party to so file shall not affect the Guarantor’s obligation hereunder. In the event that any payment to the Guaranteed Party in respect of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, the Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder with respect to the Guaranteed Percentage of such Obligations, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as if such payment had not been made. This Limited Guarantee is a primary and original obligation of the Guarantor and an unconditional and continuing guarantee of payment and is not of collection or merely the creation of a surety relationship, and the Guaranteed Party shall not be required to initiate any legal proceedings against Parent or Merger Sub before proceeding against the Guarantor hereunder.

10. GOVERNING LAW.

11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Any disputes, actions and proceedings against any party or arising out of or in any way relating to this Limited Guarantee and schedules hereto shall be submitted to the HKIAC and resolved in accordance with the HKIAC Rules in force at the relevant time.

The claimant(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; the respondent(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; and a third Arbitrator will be nominated jointly by the first two Arbitrators and shall serve as chairman of the arbitration tribunal. In the event the claimant(s) or respondent(s) or the first two Arbitrators shall fail to nominate or agree the joint nomination of an Arbitrator or the third Arbitrator within the time limits specified by the HKIAC Rules, such Arbitrator shall be appointed promptly by the HKIAC. The arbitration tribunal shall have no authority to award punitive or other punitive-type damages. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the disputing parties. Any party to an award may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award and, for purposes of the enforcement of such award, the parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction and waive any defenses to such enforcement based on lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.

12. COUNTERPARTS. This Limited Guarantee may be executed by facsimile or email and in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
