3.17 Title; Properties.

(i) Title; Personal Property. Each Group Company has good and valid title to all of its respective assets, whether tangible or intangible (including those reflected in the Balance Sheet, together with all assets acquired thereby since the Statement Date, but excluding those that have been disposed of since the Statement Date), in each case free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens. The foregoing assets collectively represent all assets (including all rights and properties) necessary for the conduct of the business of each Group Company as presently conducted. Except for leased or licensed assets, no Person other than a Group Company owns any interest in any such assets. All leases of real or personal property to which a Group Company is a party are fully effective and afford the Group Company valid leasehold possession of the real or personal property that is the subject of the lease. All machinery, vehicles, equipment and other tangible personal property owned or leased by a Group Company are in good condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear excepted). There are no facilities, services, assets or properties which are used in connection with the business of the Group and which are shared with any other Person that is not a Group Company.

(ii) Real Property. No Group Company owns or has legal or equitable title or other right or interest in any real property other than as held pursuant to Leases. Section 3.17(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth each leasehold interest pursuant to which any Group Company holds any real property (a “Lease”), indicating the parties to such Lease and the address of the property demised under the Lease, the rent payable under the Lease and the term of the Lease. The particulars of the Leases as set forth in Section 3.17(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule are true and complete. The lessor under each Lease is qualified and has obtained all Consents necessary to enter into such Lease, including without limitation any Consents required from the owner of the property demised pursuant to the Lease if the lessor is not such owner. There is no material claim asserted or, to the best knowledge of the Warrantors, threatened in writing by any Person regarding the lessor’s ownership of the property demised pursuant to each Lease. Each Lease is in compliance with applicable Laws in all material aspects, including with respect to the ownership and operation of property and conduct of business as now conducted by the applicable Group Company which is a party to such Lease. Each Group Company which is party to a Lease has accepted possession of the property demised pursuant to the Lease and is in actual possession thereof and has not sublet, assigned or hypothecated its leasehold interest. No Group Company uses any real property in the conduct of its business except insofar as it has secured a Lease with respect thereto. The leasehold interests under the Leases held by each Group Company are adequate for the conduct of the business of such Group Company as currently conducted.

3.18 Related Party Transactions. Other than as set forth in Section 3.18 of the Disclosure Schedule, no Related Party has any Contract, understanding, or proposed transaction with, or is indebted to, any Group Company or has any direct or indirect interest in any Group Company other than as set forth in Section 3.2(i) of the Disclosure Schedule, nor is any Group Company indebted (or committed to make loans or extend or guarantee credit) to any Related Party (other than for accrued salaries, for the current pay period, reimbursable expenses or other standard employee benefits). No Related Party has any direct or indirect interest in any Person with which a Group Company is affiliated or with which a Group Company has a material business relationship (including any Person which purchases from or sells, licenses or furnishes to a Group Company any goods, intellectual or other property rights or services), or in any Contract to which a Group Company is a party or by which it may be bound or affected, and no Related Party directly or indirectly competes with, or has any interest in any Person that directly or indirectly competes with, any Group Company (other than ownership of less than one percent (1%) of the stock of publicly traded companies). Each transaction between any Group Company and any Related Party (if any) entered into or occurring prior to the Closing shall (i) have been arms-length transactions with fair market price and shall not impair the interests of any holder of Equity Securities of the Company, or (ii) have been transactions duly approved by the Board in accordance with the Charter Documents of any Group Company.

Each Group Company owns or otherwise has sufficient rights (including but not limited to the rights of development, maintenance, licensing and sale) to or otherwise has the licenses to use all Intellectual Property necessary and sufficient to conduct its business as currently conducted and proposed to be conducted by such Group Company (“Company IP”) without any known conflict with or known infringement of the rights of any other Person. Section 3.19(i) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete and accurate list of all Company Registered IP for each Group Company, including for each the relevant name or description, registration/certification or application number, and filing, registration or issue date.

(ii) IP Ownership. All Company Registered IP is owned by and registered or applied for solely in the name of a Group Company, is valid and subsisting and has not been abandoned, and all necessary registration, maintenance and renewal fees with respect thereto and currently due have been satisfied. No Group Company or any of its employees, officers or directors has taken any actions or failed to take any actions that would cause any Company Owned IP to be invalid, unenforceable or not subsisting. No funding or facilities of a Governmental Authority or a university, college, other educational institution or research center was used in the development of any material Company Owned IP. No material Company Owned IP is the subject of any Lien, license or other Contract granting rights therein to any other Person. No Group Company is or has been a member or promoter of, or contributor to, any industry standards bodies, patent pooling organizations or similar organizations that could require or obligate a Group Company to grant or offer to any Person any license or right to any material Company Owned IP. No Company Owned IP is subject to any proceeding or outstanding Governmental Order or settlement agreement or stipulation that (a) restricts in any manner the use, transfer or licensing thereof, or the making, using, sale, or offering for sale of any Group Company’s products or services, by any Group Company, or (b) may affect the validity, use or enforceability of such Company Owned IP. Each Principal has assigned and transferred to a Group Company any and all of his/her Intellectual Property related to the Business. No Group Company has (a) transferred or assigned any Company IP; (b) authorized the joint ownership of, any Company IP; or (c) permitted the rights of any Group Company in any Company IP to lapse or enter the public domain.

(iii) Infringement, Misappropriation and Claims.

To the best knowledge of the Warrantors, no Person has violated, infringed or misappropriated any Company IP of any Group Company, and no Group Company has given any written notice to any other Person alleging any of the foregoing. No Group Company has received any written notice from any Person that challenged the ownership or use of any Company IP by a Group Company. No Group Company has agreed to indemnify any Person for any infringement, violation or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property by such Person.


(iv) Assignments and Prior IP. All inventions and know-how conceived by employees of a Group Company related to the business of such Group Company are currently owned exclusively by a Group Company.

All employee inventors of Company Owned IP have received reasonable reward and remuneration from a Group Company for his/her service inventions or services technology achievements in accordance with the applicable PRC Laws. It will not be necessary to utilize any Intellectual Property of any such Persons made prior to their employment by a Group Company and none of such Intellectual Property has been utilized by any Group Company, except for those that are exclusively owned by a Group Company. To the best knowledge of the Warrantors, none of the employees, consultant or independent contractors currently or previously employed or otherwise engaged by any Group Company, (a) is in violation of any current or prior confidentiality, non-competition or non-solicitation obligations to such Group Company or to any other Persons, including former employers, or (b) is obligated under any Contract, or subject to any Governmental Order, that would interfere with the use of his or her commercially reasonable efforts to promote the interests of the Group Companies or that would conflict with the business of such Group Company as presently conducted.

The Group Companies have paid all license and royalty fees required to be paid under the Licenses.

Each Group Company has taken reasonable and appropriate steps to protect, maintain and safeguard Company IP and made all applicable filings, registrations and payments of fees in connection with the foregoing. Without limiting the foregoing, all current and former officers, employees, consultants and independent contractors, all suppliers, customers and other third parties of any Group Company having access to any Company IP have executed and delivered to such Group Company an agreement requiring the protection of such Company IP. To the extent that any Company IP has been developed or created independently or jointly by an independent contractor or other third party for any Group Company, or is incorporated into any products or services of any Group Company, such Group Company has a written agreement with such independent contractor or third party and has thereby obtained ownership of, and is the exclusive owner of all such independent contractor’s or third party’s Intellectual Property in such work, material or invention by operation of law or valid assignment.

No Public Software forms part of any product or service provided by any Group Company or was or is used in connection with the development of any product or service provided by any Group Company or is incorporated into, in whole or in part, or has been distributed with, in whole or in part, any product or service provided by any Group Company. No Software included in any Company Owned IP has been or is being distributed, in whole or in part, or was used, or is being used in conjunction with any Public Software in a manner which would require that such Software be disclosed or distributed in source code form or made available at no charge.

If, after a request to defend any action or proceeding, the Indemnifying Party neglects to defend the Indemnified Party, a recovery against the Indemnified Party suffered by it in good faith shall be conclusive in its favor against the Indemnifying Party, provided, however, that, if the Indemnifying Party has not received reasonable notice of the action or proceeding against the Indemnified Party or is not allowed to control its defense, judgment against the Indemnified Party shall only constitute presumptive evidence against the Indemnifying Party.

(iv) The maximum aggregate liability of the Warrantors for indemnification to any Investor Indemnified Parties under Section 7.10(i), (ii) and (iii) shall be limited to the purchase price set forth opposite such Investor’s name on Table A of Schedule I attached hereto and an amount calculated at a simple annual interest rate of eight (8%) percent of such purchase price (the “Indemnification Cap”).

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,

(a) the Warrantors shall not be liable for any Indemnifiable Losses arising from any opportunity costs; and


(b) the Warrantors shall not be liable for any Indemnifiable Losses arising under this Section 7.10 unless the aggregate amount of all such Indemnifiable Losses exceeds US$1,000,000, in which event the Warrantors shall be required to pay or be liable for the full amount of all such Indemnifiable Losses as provided in Section 7.10.

(vi) This Section 7.10 shall not be deemed to preclude or otherwise limit in any way the exercise of any other rights or pursuit of other remedies for the breach of this Agreement or with respect to any misrepresentation.

7.11 Rights Cumulative; Specific Performance. Each and all of the various rights, powers and remedies of a party hereto will be considered to be cumulative with and in addition to any other rights, powers and remedies which such Party may have at Law or in equity in the event of the breach of any of the terms of this Agreement. The exercise or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy will neither constitute the exclusive election thereof nor the waiver of any other right, power or remedy available to such Party. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties hereto acknowledge and agree irreparable harm may occur for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

7.12 Fees and Expenses. In the event that the Closing occurs or the Closing does not successfully occur for reasons not attributable to the Investors, the Company shall reimburse the Investors’ reasonable costs and expenses for legal, financial and other due diligence activities and negotiation and documentations incurred by the Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder up to a maximum as agreed upon between such Investor and the Company. In the event that the transactions contemplated hereunder are not consummated for reasons attributable to the Investors, the Investors shall bear the costs and expenses incurred thereof. If any action at Law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights of each Investor to be reimbursed of the fees and expenses under this Section are several and not joint, and if an Investor does not consummate the Closing for reasons attributable to itself, other Investors fulfilling the Closing shall be entitled to the reimbursement up to their own maximums.

7.13 Termination.

(i) With respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder between the Company and each Investor, this Agreement may be terminated solely with respect to the rights and obligations of such Investor hereunder prior to the Closing (a) by written consent of the Company and such Investor, or (b) if the Closing has not been consummated by October 31, 2018 or such other later day as jointly determined by the Majority Investors and the Company (the “Long Stop Date”) by such Investors or by any of the Group Companies, provided that the terminating party shall not have been, on or prior to the date of termination, in material breach of this Agreement; provided, further, any Group Company shall not be entitled to terminate the Agreement if the Closing fails to occur due to any unsatisfied condition under Section 5, and such Investor shall not be entitled to terminate the Agreement hereunder if the Closing fails to occur due to any unsatisfied condition under Section 6 attributable to such Investor.


(ii) If this Agreement is terminated as provided under this Section 7.13, this Agreement will be of no further force or effect upon termination provided that (i) the termination will not relieve any Party from any liability for any antecedent breach of this Agreement, and (ii) Sections 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.10, 7.11, 7.12 and 7.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Any Party hereto may also provide disclosure in order to comply with applicable Laws, as set forth in Section 7.14(iii) below.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.14, the confidentiality obligations of the Parties shall not apply to: (i) information which a restricted party learns from a third party which the receiving party reasonably believes to have the right to make the disclosure, provided the restricted party complies with any restrictions imposed by the third party; (ii) information which is rightfully in the restricted party’s possession prior to the time of disclosure by the protected party and not acquired by the restricted party under a confidentiality obligation; or (iii) information which enters the public domain without breach of confidentiality by the restricted party.

7.15 Finder’s Fee. Each Investor agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and to hold harmless the Company and each other Investor from any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a finders’ fee (and the costs and expenses of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which such Investor or any of its officers, partners, employees or representatives is responsible pursuant to any agreement entered into by such Investor or any of its Affiliates.

7.16 Severability. In case any provision of the Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. If, however, any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under any such applicable Law in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such Law, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality, or limitation on enforceability without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement, or the validity, legality, or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

7.17 Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended, only with the written consent of each of (i) the Company, and (ii) the Investors.

7.19 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any Party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other Party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting Party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any Party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

7.20 No Presumption. The Parties acknowledge that any applicable Law that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the Party that drafted it has no application and is expressly waived. If any claim is made by a Party relating to any conflict, omission or ambiguity in the provisions of this Agreement, no presumption or burden of proof or persuasion will be implied because this Agreement was prepared by or at the request of any Party or its counsel.
