the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of, or any defect in, any provision of any Note Documents or any documents relating to any Note Documents, security, guarantees or indemnities (including the Pledge) or any of the rights or obligations of any of the parties under or in connection with any such document or any security, guarantee or indemnity (including the Pledge), whether on the grounds of ultra vires, not being in the interests of the relevant Person or not having been duly authorized, executed or delivered by any Person or for any other reason whatsoever; or

 

(i)            根据有关破产、资不抵债或清盘的任何法律能够被宣告无效或受其影响的任何协议、担保、保证、赔偿、付款或其他交易,或质权人基于对任何该等协议、担保、保证、赔偿、付款或其他交易的信任而作出的任何解除、和解或免除,并且任何该等解除、和解或免除应被视为相应地受到限制。

any agreement, security, guarantee, indemnity, payment or other transaction which is capable of being avoided under or affected by any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or winding-up or any release, settlement or discharge given or made by the Pledgee on the faith of any such agreement, security, guarantees, indemnities, payment or other transaction, and any such releases, settlement or discharge shall be deemed to be limited accordingly.

 

15


 

6.3                               在不影响上述第6.2条一般性规定的情况下,出质人明示确认,其希望质权应不时扩展至可转换债购买协议(包括其项下发行的任何可转换债券)和/或任何其他融资协议项下提供的任何授信或金额的任何变更、增加、延展或增加,目的或与以下各项相关:任何性质的业务收购;增加流动资金;使投资者能够进行分配;开展重组;为现有授信再融资;为任何其他负债再融资;向新借款方提供授信;可能不时提供任何该等授信或金额的目的的任何其他变更或延展;及与上述各项相关的任何费用、成本和/或支出。

Without prejudice to the generality of Section 6.2 above, the Pledgor expressly confirms that it intends that the Pledge shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension, or addition of or to the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (including any Convertible Notes issued thereunder) and/or any facility or amount made available under any other financing agreement for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: business acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs, and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.

 

6.4                               在质权人满意地认为所有的担保债务已被无条件和不可撤销地全额支付和解除,并且可能引起担保债务的任何其他义务已经终止后,质权人将应出质人的要求,立即采取出质人可能合理要求的行动,解除出质股权的质押,相关费用由出质人承担。如果部分质权已被执行,在该等解除时,质权人应向出质人返还其从与该等执行相关的出质股权的处置中收到的所有剩余的出质股权和/或现金或证券的剩余部分。

Upon the Pledgee being satisfied that all of the Secured Obligations have been unconditionally and irrevocably paid and discharged in full and any other obligations which might give rise to Secured Obligations have terminated, the Pledgee will promptly at the request and cost of the Pledgor take such action as the Pledgor may reasonably request to release the Pledged Equity Interest from the Pledge.  In the event that some of the Pledge has been enforced, upon such release, the Pledgee shall return to the Pledgor all the remaining Pledged Equity Interest and/or the remaining portion of cash or securities received by it from the disposal of the Pledged Equity Interest in connection with such enforcement.

the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of, or any defect in, any provision of any Note Documents or any documents relating to any Note Documents, security, guarantees or indemnities (including the Pledge) or any of the rights or obligations of any of the parties under or in connection with any such document or any security, guarantee or indemnity (including the Pledge), whether on the grounds of ultra vires, not being in the interests of the relevant Person or not having been duly authorized, executed or delivered by any Person or for any other reason whatsoever; or

 

(r)           根据有关破产、资不抵债或清盘的任何法律能够被宣告无效或受其影响的任何协议、担保、保证、赔偿、付款或其他交易,或质权人基于对任何该等协议、担保、保证、赔偿、付款或其他交易的信任而作出的任何解除、和解或免除,并且任何该等解除、和解或免除应被视为相应地受到限制。

 

any agreement, security, guarantee, indemnity, payment or other transaction which is capable of being avoided under or affected by any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or winding-up or any release, settlement or discharge given or made by the Pledgee on the faith of any such agreement, security, guarantees, indemnities, payment or other transaction, and any such releases, settlement or discharge shall be deemed to be limited accordingly.

 

6.7                               在不影响上述第6.2条一般性规定的情况下,出质人明示确认,其希望质权应不时扩展至可转换债购买协议(包括其项下发行的任何可转换债券)和/或任何其他融资协议项下提供的任何授信或金额的任何变更、增加、延展或增加,目的或与以下各项相关:任何性质的业务收购;增加流动资金;使投资者能够进行分配;开展重组;为现有授信再融资;为任何其他负债再融资;向新借款方提供授信;可能不时提供任何该等授信或金额的目的的任何其他变更或延展;及与上述各项相关的任何费用、成本和/或支出。

 

Without prejudice to the generality of Section 6.2 above, the Pledgor expressly confirms that it intends that the Pledge shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension, or addition of or to the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (including any Convertible Notes issued thereunder) and/or any facility or amount made available under any other financing agreement for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: business acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs, and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.

 

20


 

6.8                               在质权人满意地认为所有的担保债务已被无条件和不可撤销地全额支付和解除,并且可能引起担保债务的任何其他义务已经终止后,质权人将应出质人的要求,立即采取出质人可能合理要求的行动,解除出质股权的质押,相关费用由出质人承担。如果部分质权已被执行,在该等解除时,质权人应向出质人返还其从与该等执行相关的出质股权的处置中收到的所有剩余的出质股权和/或现金或证券的剩余部分。

 

Upon the Pledgee being satisfied that all of the Secured Obligations have been unconditionally and irrevocably paid and discharged in full and any other obligations which might give rise to Secured Obligations have terminated, the Pledgee will promptly at the request and cost of the Pledgor take such action as the Pledgor may reasonably request to release the Pledged Equity Interest from the Pledge.  In the event that some of the Pledge has been enforced, upon such release, the Pledgee shall return to the Pledgor all the remaining Pledged Equity Interest and/or the remaining portion of cash or securities received by it from the disposal of the Pledged Equity Interest in connection with such enforcement.
